WW #43 - The Asha'man

Reviewing the day

What, the day is just beginning a bit early to be reviewing the day no?

oh.
Or are you going to bed soon?

Nah, just overexcited. I have been anticipating this game's start for so long that I guess I jumped the gun in summing things up. I just really want to get to later days when we actually have enough information to start scumhunting in ernest. Although yes, I most likely will go to bed in the next few hours.

I'm scumhunting in earnest. Are you not scumhunting in earnest?

This feels like Lewwyn trying to split hairs with Dp101. "Oh, you mean you're only REGULUR scumhunting and not scumhunting IN EARNEST??? Doesn't sound very towny to me, tsk, tsk." C'mon. I've already noted other ways in which Lewwyn seems oddly reactive and trying to reach to pin things on people this game.

I was thinking about that as I went to bed last night, that Psi's opening posts were in line with what I would expect from scum-him.

In what way?

On an unrelated note, PsillyCyber.

Fake edit: I was going to just throw that out without any real reason to see what transpired, but this is pretty weak:

That post for your script or does it mean something?

[Psillycyber]

Mafia Godfather is a pretty nice role to pass up

What do you mean by this, Psilly?

I also don't plan to post much on the first day unless some decent posts/cases appear. Day 1 generally devolves into pure meta pretty fast unless someone embarrasses themselves and gets lyched, which seems pointless to engage in.

This particular variant is all about day 1 meta, and you are by your own account excited to see this game start, so why this attitude?

I would say that not having played scum for a while I would have chosen mafia goon over a plain vanilla townie, and I am surprised Lewwyn didnt too

Ambush or not, I think this is a valid observation. Not saying this to point the finger at Lewwyn, just saying that Jkaen is making valid points.

Oh yeah I missed that one

I did too on first read, +1 town point to Adrien for synchronicity.*
*And minus -100 points to compensate for bias.

Rowain, my thoughts on the perfect role for you: Innocent Child.

Re: mafia godfather: coming up as town if investigated by a cop is pretty nice, no?

Re: Dp101: I must have missed that contradiction on my first read-through. Very interesting. Claims to think not much can be done on Day 1 and that it is kind of a meta-fest toss-up, but also claims to be excited to participate. Actually, that's not really much of a contradiction, now that I think about it. Day 1 can make me antsy too if I want to participate a lot and get a jump on leads, but if there isn't really enough yet to go off of. It sometimes leads me on Day 1 to try to make hay out of too little straw or scrape butter over too much bread, which is what Dp101 might have been doing with his early "review" of the field. I can see Dp101's posts as expressing his impatience.

Re: Rowain: I don't think the time to claim innocent child would be right before the Day 1 lynch, at least if you're not the one about to be lynched. Because then you are just setting yourself up for a nightkill, unless you are REALLY sure that there's someone out there who can jail or doctor you.

That post for your script or does it mean something?

It's for the script so that it conflates votes for Zak/Zakalwe and other aliases in the vote tallies.

[AdrienIer]

Still happy with my Psi vote.

I'd like some more presence from Prometheus. He hasn't offered anything beside an unorthodox view on backup doctor.

[Jkaen]

I cross posted btw, it's clear novices post was for the script now

The charitable assumption is that everyone is trying to scumhunt on Day 1, with the understanding that it's difficult to go very far with it until things develop (which they are starting to quite nicely now, it seems). Lewwyn didn't seem to be applying this principle of charity to Dp101, and seemed to be reaching to read something questionable into his comments.
