Spooks, Day 1-7.

[Magicziggy]

So far we have Timinane, Uselesstwit and mantiz putting their hand in the air and waving violently shouting "I am scum". Let it be said.

I suggest stacking votes against a propbable scum vs me. If I go down, all votes for me are from scum. If the scum goes down all the better.

I hate the kabuki theater crap. This is a mafia game.

There's no way I'm voting Redial for mayor after yesterday's performance.

vote Twinkie

Why are people lynch voting Ghat?

Sifaka on the other hand goes from not voting to voting for Charlou in less than a minute. That's not enough time to reread and consider the previous posts, but it's about right for someone reading a PM.

That struck me as odd as well. And Sifaka didn't vote for anyone on the first day, only making one post, which was a bookmark, if memory serves (I'll check and correct this if I'm wrong).

Magicziggy's actions could be consistent with a new player: why would she switch her vote from Animavore to Charlou at the last minute yesterday, drawing attention to herself, when Charlou was already doomed? There was no point for a bad guy to do that...

I think I shall:

Vote Sifaka

It's so good to be back on a real computer.

I am following the wisdom of another as I do not have much time.
Also what is kabuki theatre crap. I am guilty of it? I am here to learn. Are you here to share much experience with us novices or to look down your nose at us. I'm only asking. You seem very confident. Maybe you should be mayor. Would you like to be mayor?

Vote Twinkie

I think she is innocent... because first day she originally voted for BAA but due to a mistake in reading, changed it to Meph. If she was guilty - she wouldn't have voted BAA in the first place. I don't think at least.

[Animavore]

Remember who voted for me yesterday?

For Animavore:
Born-again-atheist
Ghatanothoa
Higgs2

The FOS needs to be pointed at them. One of them already turned out to be scum. Ghat voted for me out of nowhere. Just signed on and voted. The scum saw that I was acting wreckless and suspicious and saw it as an opportunity to get an innocent. Vote Ghat.

I don't like voting for myself but I'm the ony one I trust right now.
Vote Animavore

I'm sure it is good gameplay to jump on a bandwagon early.
My considered opinion. Since I am sooo obviously innocent and inexperienced anyone voting for me has to be either scum or inexperienced.

To anyone reading this, if you are innocent, do not vote to lynch me. Let the scum do it and flush them out. I'll take the hit.

This is very suspicious, offering to "take the hit" to get scum".

"Since I am sooo obviously innocent and inexperienced anyone voting for me has to be either scum or inexperienced" This is not logical.

You seem to be dropping scum tells right and left so I vote magicziggy

This almost makes mewant to change my vote back to you. Why should we not vote to lynch you, Animavore?

You're the one here who is under suspicion. Either you're with proven scum who clearly singled me out because I was loud (and in doing so falling for my ruse) or you're and innocent who, upon listening to scum make cases against me, were won over by their argument. Either way you have amountain to climb.

[higgs2]

If you'ss remember, the reasonI gave was your "vengeance Vote" which is scummy. Who are your to three picks for scum and why?

Your posting style in this game, especially today, is adding some unhelpful noise. All this role-play stuff about being innocent and anyone voting against you must be scum doesn't contribute to finding scum. You are not the only one who posts this way, and you've probably picked it up from other players who have also gotten into the habit of including this kind of fluff. From what I've seen while GMing games here, people who post in the vein of "I'm innocent and if you vote for me you are scum" are as likely to be scum as they are town. It's meaningless noise in terms of figuring out players' alignments.

I am trying to share my expertise, such that it is, and I plan to keep doing so for a few games. Unfortunately, my style of play is probably a little gruff compared to what people are used to. But, I am attempting to explain the rationale for my votes, and to point out when posts come off as scummy, so people can learn a litle more about scum tells. When town players drop a lot of scum tells it makes it hard to sift through and find the scum.

As far as mayor, I'm indifferent. The half-vote won't matter until we're closer to endgame and probabilities suggest that whoever is chosen for mayor today may not be alive at endgame.

Can you see the flaw in your logic? IF YOU ARE TOWN, then yesterday's bandwagon was between two town players. Scum wouldn't have cared which one of you got lynched as long as town was lynched. Scum are as likely to have voted for Charlou as for you. I'm guessing that scum are happy to leave you in the game as long as you keep throwing chum in the water and distracting town.
