once again the sketchy reasoning is a borrowed statement from Jamiet99uk. I still havent heard what this sketchy reason was.Temasek22 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2020 12:36 pmIt's time for me to reveal my cards.
I've played as scum on this site way too many times to still be crumbling under pressure. And in my games as scum my collapse is usually around D3/D4 after successfully lurking and appearing town early game.
Of course, as it's the school holidays for me , I got bored and just wanted to try something out, to try and sniff out scum by faking noobscum and seeing everyone's reactions. Guess what?
4 voted for me at some point, with brain giving the most sketchy reasoning of all. Most ended up focusing more on other targets, so the experiment didn't, really, work there. That said, worcej applied good pressure. Bunny and Flum I actually think are town, and emc, where have you gone? Oh, and we have wayyy too many VT claims at this point too.

Can you explain more about your thinking with this experiment? The idea was that you would purposefully act like you think scum acts. So, wouldn't it be a towntell if someone votes for you? They would be voting for someone who is actively trying to look like scum. Did you begin the game planning to do this, or did it sort of evolve out of your early play? When did you begin?Temasek22 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2020 12:36 pmIt's time for me to reveal my cards.

Do you believe that it was a bad plan that Temasek had from the beginning, or do you think that he made that up as an excuse once people started to vote for him? Or something else?brainbomb wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2020 2:02 pmonce again the sketchy reasoning is a borrowed statement from Jamiet99uk.

but backing up for a minute, if your goal every game is to behave scummy to bait mafia into voting you - its important you understand that on reread most folks are going to find those pushes justified.
In answer to kgrays question, this plan sounds really bad. I think you are the scum alignment cop based on your open question about what the godfather appears as
I think hes maf alignment cop who is parroting everyones posts and ideas, got called out on it. and is just making shit up nowkgray wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2020 2:06 pmDo you believe that it was a bad plan that Temasek had from the beginning, or do you think that he made that up as an excuse once people started to vote for him?

Welcome back? You still need to correct your vote for it to be legal.Pjandy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2020 2:08 pmThe good people of Vanilla Town appreciate the kind words and thoughts and prayers. Our front line workers are racing to airdrop TP in all city parks and other convenient gathering locations. Our administration is doing their best to coordinate a response to a situation that they are totally untrained for and mostly inept at dealing with.
But today I am glad to announce that our response is in full swing. Just last night everyone in City Hall was ordered to our conference room to watch a video on hand washing. The room only holds 50 or so people so it was a tight fit (and that reminds me - shout out to Bob and Sal for the doughnut holes and mini quiches! mmmmmm!)
Sure, we all saw Outbreak, played Pandemic, read The Stand, we've all heard about what they did to the Indians, we've all wondered "What's up with that dude's dad?" in Braveheart, we've all played Ring Around The Rosie and thought "that's a weird rhyme isn't it?", we've all made "Bring out your dead/I'm not dead yet" jokes, we've all seen the film adaptation of Poe's Masque of the Red Death staring Vincent Price, but no one, No One, could have possibly imagined - let alone do anything to prepare for - anything ever happening here, in Vanilla Town.
So, mistakes will be made, protocols will fall by the wayside (HIPAA-SchmIPPA, that's what I say!) But together we will get through the dark night. We will build a new world for all Vanillians! And we will do it in the most human way possible - by lynching anyone who seems a little suspicious!
I was looking forward to you injecting some humor/theme into the game. Especially as I couldn't bring myself to.Pjandy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 18, 2020 2:08 pmThe good people of Vanilla Town appreciate the kind words and thoughts and prayers.
