mchack: ah, there we go again. Sorry Farky :( I really hope you keep playing and help us find out who's the scum out there. I felt you might be town, but I stayed extremely suspicious to the end, and if we hadn't confirmed your alignment yesterday, it would just be a wagon building on you today again. At least now we know you were town all along (which is what many suspected, and at least three people aside from yourself actually knew. So some of those being so sure you were town that they didn't want to investigate you, could well be scum. Who literally knew you were town and didn't want to get their hands dirty.). Hope you're not too frustrated. I pledge here and now, that should I be the next town mislynch, I'll continue playing and try and not take it personally, since I asked that of two others by now, that I pushed a wagon on.
Sorry Farky? SORRY FARKY?
Well you said it yourself, many suspected he was actually Town, me included, for reasons that did make sense, and there was also zero guarantee that this Phase would start with Farky piling up a wagon, but alas, it was the destined wagon of the day even though we could've done better.
mchack: -Pooka is leaning scum from for me, but that hammer isn't something I hold against them. As I said scum would gain even more from a no-lynch than a mis-lynch (as in they can choose who and not have to answer questions later about it). But if the wagon was going to come to a conclusion anyway, I don't see why scum need to stay away. Argh, playing mafia is complicated.
Is this some sort of "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario? Cause it sounds like it is~
So the previous phase I said I'd rather go with scene, only to be told he's inactive (will get to that point later), there's another wagon that has a chance to succeed, and not voting is the scummy thing to do. I went ahead and made it clear "sure, you do make sense here, I'm playing a traditional game and it's nice to let me know this isn't a traditional game", so I put down the vote.
I still lean scum for my reluctance, though!? Which now we've just established that it wasn't misplaced. I had a strong feeling I'd be voting out a Catholic, and guess what, we did vote out a Catholic. Now we're at 5 to 3, pretty damn worrying stuff, all thanks to a not well thought out wagon IMO.
trentonlf: Why did you say this?
It's not voting out Farky (Catholic) that makes them scum happy, it's the fact the game as a whole is everyone just coasting and hoping we somehow pile votes on scum with little to no scumhunting. It sure must hit different for them, the game being slow and easy like that.
FlockeSchnee: Pooka
What did you mean with „used up his role? It wasn’t a one-shot.
Sure, I concede. I saw "One" at the beginning of the roles list in the OP and thought "ah yes one-shot".
FlockeSchnee: Naturally not a fan of:
Like Catventurer explained: Investigation of inactive players doesn’t help.
...
And considering [Catventurer] went after Farky for wanting to lynch an inactive player it is a little strange to only get that [post261] as a post after Pookas 257.
You seem to forget something, and I've just a little bit of a feeling that forgetting what I'm about to reference now just so happens to be very convenient in a way.
Scene wasn't inactive.
Catventurer went hard on Farky on D1 for wanting to investigate A_Future_Pilot, which honestly, yes, she's right about that, AFP made
zero posts during the whole game, and Farky couldn't wait to eject him.
Meanwhile, supplementscene has made quite a few posts before he disappeared (hope he's alright). One of these posts is him taking something I said and responding to it in a context different than the one I had clearly meant it to be read in. As if it's some easy way to shade me without having to do any "pretend scumhunting". And even if scene was inactive during Phase 2, his "seat number" has made posts prior, and if his "seat number" was scum when he was active, it'll still be scum when he is inactive. Farky wanted to vote an inactive player out for providing zero content, I wanted to vote an inactive player out for the content that they DID PROVIDE!
If we assume Catventurer is just some sort of program that makes choices based on pre-defined variables, and not a human being capable of making decisions by taking into account billions of complex factors or by straight up just being unpredictable, then it's no surprise she didn't provide much of a comment on my 257 - because it's not the same situation at all. It may look like it if you toss all the nuance out the window though, which is a very scum thing to do I believe.
You know who else has Scene's "seat number"? Hmm, yes.
