WW24: The Ashes of Brigdarrow: VILLAGE WINS

[Lewwyn]

I'm not trying to turn it into a dogfight. I was looking at Lewwyns posts, and finally thought that I saw somebody who was trying to lay low as scum with some bare minimum posting.

Jkaen, Mattimeo, me, Novice and of course the ever absent Tasunke have all posted less.

I'm not looking at total number of posts, not turning this into a lynch the lowest post count game. By bare minimum posting, I meant someone whose content generated didn't match up with the frequency of posting, in a way that looked like coasting. Since he's had a decently high post count, and knowing how good Lewwyn can be as a player, I would have expected more from when he did post then I see currently.

This is trying too hard to find something out of nothing on Day 1. Out of 24 hours of Day 1 even. But you're a good enough player to know this. The fact you're going so hard now is simply because of pressure. And I might even change my vote if I wasn't so convinced you were scum. But post like these are only convincing me further of your scuminess.

Apparently, I'm not a good enough player, cause in my zeal to contribute I've done fucked all of this up. And the reason I'm going so hard is I've let this affect me personally and I'm pretty bloody angry. SO I'm just going to calm down and be quiet for a little while.

Don't get too mad Brick. If you're guilty, and I'm less convinced of that than Lewwyn is, then c'est la guerre. If you're innocent, then I know how frustrating it can feel, but that's how the game rolls. And at the moment it feels worse because we're in a little three-man echo chamber. I agree that it would be good to wait and let the others chime in at this point, especially Jkaen and Tasunke.

[Azza]

Tasunke where are you?

[Jkaen]

Sorry weekend ATM, hence my post count is going to be way down.

As far as the big topics, I am not convinced on the brick case, but don't think it's out of character for lewwyn to be pushing it. Still not happy with azzas defence to the varius points.

Also agree Ichabod is a lot different from morte, but I haven't quite yet decided what that means

Rereading...

2. Due to forum silliness, day ends at 0800 GMT realtime this game, regardless of what the forum clock says.

Q, this rule looks like a relic from earlier games. I suggest we trust the forum clock just to keep things unambiguous.

[Qgqqqqq]

It is a relic, but was deliberately left in as I'm not willing to conclusively trust them yet. There are also some relics as to what time (GMT, local setting, EST etc.) is reported so I'd rather use a external trusted source.
I will be checking a GMT time before closing/posting anything - plus I'll be waiting to confirm votes anyway.

[zakalwe]

Feels like there are a lot of townies here. Though looking at the setup rules, there's actually a fairly significant chance there are just two mafia (5, 6, or 7 heads out of 7 coinflips). In 2/3 of those cases there will also be a SK, but I don't expect him to stand out as much.

A random observation:

Why do you have Ichabod (with no posts) on place 4.
Why would you rather lynch him (+Lewwyn, Serdoa) before Tasunke?

Zak makes a ranking of voters, and something about patterns and I'm just too tired to figure out whatever bullshit it is.

Zak posts a list straight up of suspects.

I am not seeing the comedy reasonings behind Zak's list and can't be bothered looking for the right now.

Four players didn't get the joke with my alphabetical suspect list. I think it's possible they are all town. Not saying that my post was made with anything like this in mind, but it will be interesting to see after the game if this is indeed the case.

Of the four, I feel least certain about Lewwyn. I'd still put him in the potential superwolf / SK bin, along with Gazglum and Serdoa. Actually, let me make a full list while I'm at it. This time in non-alphabetic order.

Superwolves / SKs:
Lewwyn
Gazglum
Serdoa

Too scummy to be scum:
Azza
Ichabod?

Too scummy to be town:
Brick?

Too townish to be scum:
Jkaen
Mattimeo
Slowcheetah?
Rowain?

Too busy to sign up for these games:
Tasunke

Too experienced to be a novice:
Umm, I think I meant to put someone here, but it slipped my mind. Did I miss anyone?

In any case, add the standard set of disclaimers and what it boils down to is that there aren't many scum tells to go around. Brick's play is on the scummy side, though, even if it feels a bit "too easy". Kind of reminds me of the 5 cops game where he was very blatantly scummy from an early point and did indeed flip scum.

[novice]

Zak, how do you conclude that Jkaen and Mattimeo are "Too townish to be scum" from their minimum of posts? Mattimeo only has one post as far as I can tell.

I agree with your general sentiment that there aren't many scum tells to find, though.

[zakalwe]

They're both in character, IMO. And they would both be likely to try a bit harder if they were scum. More content would still be good, of course.

Maybe "not particularly scummy" would have been a better name for their category; I just got caught up in the symmetry.
