WW48: Melllvar's Grand Competition!

[Lewwyn]

Uhh I just woke up and there's double the posts in the thread. Gimmie 20-30 minutes to catch up...

[pindicator]

Pindicator, you originally thought Mr Peanutbutter was the scummiest thing you were reading. Has something changed that opinion? What do you think of him now?

I'm cooling on my suspicions of him, since he has posted better stuff since then. I'm warming to Meiz a bit because he is better than he is playing right now: this wilful disregard of my past posts and singling one out in a void is not what I'd expect of him. 

Honest, I'm null on a lot due to same reason I was null in 46 on a lot. There's a lot more going on. RL has pulled some shenanigans to limit my time more than I'd like and I'm RP-ing aspects of my char in RL that I'd rather not be. And since every game needs its Bob, I figure why not me since life is not going to let up over the next couple days. 

Thrawn seems the best lynch imo unless he has done something that i haven't caught up to yet. Completely out of character by him

[pindicator]

And I don't get this. WW47 - he is posting too much, lynch him. WW48 - he is posting too little - lynch him. If I'm paying attention I'm posting, if I'm not, I'm not. In WW47 I'm mechanising the game. In WW48 I start a little late but still well before deadline and it's the end of the world.

Welcome to WW at RB. It never goes away, you just learn to roll with the punches better.

Thrawn is still the scummiest to me.

Guys look at his most recent posts, he's not scum hunting. He finally picked up activity, but all of the activity is directed towards himself. He's only defending and talking about how he apparently can't play right. He's playing the woe is me sympathy card. It's difficult for him to actually scumhunt because he knows who is scum and he's having a hard time making up cases. 

The thrawn I know in WW is always asking questions being progressive and moving it forward. Here he's doing NONE of that. He is being passive sitting back and defending. He's not just going to fully lurk, so he needs activity and the easiest activity for him at this point is defense.

Look at this post where he comes back:

From the active posters Sunrise and Meiz seem fine. Gasper seems to switch from good to bad between posts but suggesting me and Lewwyn are a team is plain stupid and I doubt he'd genuinely say that. From the others I find it hard to get a read on scum because everything is a mess, but I expect things will start clearing up after a couple of deaths. To be honest from what I see I expect the game for me to begin properly on D2 or even D3 when it's less people and some roles of the dead are known and there is something concrete to look at. If you don't kill me until then. And if you do that's fine because it's not fun sifting through a bazillion posts, the smaller game was a lot more enjoyable. Also you know each other but I don't. From those in WW47, Meiz seems fine as I said, Alhambram has said to little to say, the no lynch isn't great because if he's seeing danger rising on one of his teammates it's an easy way to not have to follow reason and join, and Kaiser seems off. So I'd go with Gasper first and Kaiser second as the most reliable reads that I have so far but would definitely like to see something concrete from Alhambram if not D1 then at least D2.

I thought I saw there were some questions for me but couldn't find them. If someone has one please ask again.

This is the scummiest thing I've seen all game. He gives surface depictions of a few players. Mischaracterizes Gaspar's argument about him and me (Gaspar was just saying that he found me and thrawn suspicious, not that we were a team), and then says he can't read anyone until after a couple of deaths!! He repeats himself about Meiz and stumbles into a couple non-commital vote targets which happen to be Gaspar, who is widely suspected and kaiser and alhambram, who at that time were low post (Kaiser has since shown what he was doing) and someone who no-lynched.

The cherry on top is the please ask me questions. He needs prompts because he can't think of anything else to say and he wants to post to get his activity up.

SCUM!

[Lewwyn]

I'll review the top lynch targets shortly and post what I think in about 30 min and will be mostly available during the last hour.

I bet you will. Odd that you apparently have been on and "reviewing" people all game long? Throughout Day 1 you've said "I'm going to go look at people and then come back with thoughts" a number of times, but your thoughts have not really materialized.

[Lewwyn]

I thing Gaspar's explanation post is good and right.

Now that Meiz has dropped RP he's ringing true for me.

I thought novice's holding back was very funny at the time, but I recognized it as a different type of holding back. My reference to thrawn holding back was that he's holding back his true thoughts and feelings. I'm leaning town on novice, maybe I feel a bit of buddy warmth but I also feel like he's being genuine.

Sunrise I like the activity, and I'm having a hard time picturing him as scum, but I also don't like his conclusions and I think Mr. peanutbutter has the wrong scent on Gaspar and me.

I'm less confident on WK now that I've seen a few non RP posts, but I'm wary.

Alhambram I can't tell for sure because of low activity, but the no-lynch vote is bad, but I also think its something a newbie player might do in his second game not realizing how anti-town it is.

I'm getting null read on Rowain, He's not reading super town to me but he hasn't done anything overtly scummy for me. Warning bells.

Pindi needs more posting I'm not 100% sure.

Jabbz for sure is on the list. Low content, and I'm feeling like Jabbz would have more to say. I think the lurking might be intentional.

Nice post Kaiser. I don't fully trust your judgement, but I think I'm going to be using your accumulated research.

Commodore, probably town.


This is a round up of what I'm thinking after Day 1 so far. Thrawn is scum, Jabbz is next suspicious, I could lynch Roawin... But I think thrawn has to go.

[Lewwyn]

And I don't get this. WW47 - he is posting too much, lynch him. WW48 - he is posting too little - lynch him. If I'm paying attention I'm posting, if I'm not, I'm not. In WW47 I'm mechanising the game. In WW48 I start a little late but still well before deadline and it's the end of the world.

Welcome to WW at RB. It never goes away, you just learn to roll with the punches better.

Agreed. I will say this about thrawn, this post where he's complaining about this could be either village or scum thrawn. THAT's why he posted this. Its something village thrawn could say. The trick is that after a full day thrawn hasn't really given substantial reads or tried to move the village forward. He's substituting defense for scumhunting.

[Meiz]

Taking a note on Lewwyn hammering his case on Q while having no read of Pind, despite Pindicator's game being very self defensice and "woe is me" symphathy card. I bet they are scum together.

[WarriorKnight]

Well pindi has had a chance to respond and I don't see any reason to change my vote, so I'm locking it in and going to bed.

Lewwyn has finally decided to contribute, but I'll save looking over that for Day 2.

[Lewwyn]

I also think this post is telling:

This is a post which will help us if you are lynched no matter your alignment so thanks for that. I still think you are a good lynch today.

And why is that? Because there are already some people on me so I'm an easy townie lynch? Tell me one scummy thing that I've said or done, not what I haven't done. I'll have a look through your posts too see if you wouldn't make a good lynch yourself.

Thrawn is asking for Rowain to give him a reason. He wants to know why he's scummy so he can counter it. He's making his defense based on what he sees other people saying. He's trying to invalidate arguments of him not doing something and again as I've said he's being passive and this is a big one, REACTIONARY. He's reacting to the thread not trying to figure out who is scum.
