Rise of The Snake Cult [Concluded]

[El Barto]

Please tell me you're not asking GH to reveal his role on this kind of argument.

Please tell me you're not asking GH to reveal his role on this kind of argument.

I think I worded it carefully enough to avoid that. I said that I hope he has a good reason, and I'm asking for his opinion on potential lynch candidates that I could support instead.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Yeah no, I'm pretty much always going to self-preserve unless the circumstances are extreme. I value my role more than everyone else's because I'm 100% sure of it. Simple as that, not apologizing for how I play, not going to change it, and going to be really annoyed if that's why I get lynched.

As for alternate candidates, I'm still aboard the JHT train. JHT's vote on khaan tells me very little, and he's bussed people in the past. As for you, I disagree with a lot of your leans, particularly in terms of your correlating activity to townieness, but that's most likely you being unfamiliar with the baseline/a fundamental disagreement between us as opposed to scumminess.

I better lose a game where scum is actively posting than win a game where everyone is sitting idle and waiting for someone to present a case. Just bite the bullet, arrange all who's alive by scumminess (however you define it for yourself) and vote your scummiest lean.

Well, the ‘I hope there's a good reason…’ part sounded a bit like ‘Could you tell us?’ but maybe I'm being slightly paranoid.

I agree. If I'm slight town because of the number of posts, someone should show Al the chart. ;)
And as for alternate candidates we also have auto, the opportune lurker.

I'll be fine with El Barto's lynch.
Also landlubber or Cuthillius.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Barto and lubber seem okay to me, though his last question in #364 was weird. I'll look over Cuth's posts again sometime before I go to sleep.

[El Barto]

I'm not really sure I see the point in that question - it's thinking ahead way too far. For all I know somebody's going to make a post in two hours that really jumps out to me as scummy and I'll move my vote on them.

Not that far if we lynch jht today. Lynch him and then Nightbringer… but wait, jht (let's suppose) is not mafia, then why lynch Nightbringer?

(I concede that jht might just have bussed 'khaan in order to look good and so on, but I doubt he'd bother to post so early in the day anyway.

I'll be fine with El Barto's lynch.

But I won't! I -that is to say, we- have already established that lynching me is not good.

Also landlubber or Cuthillius.

Why and why?

[GeneralHankerchief]

I agree that the game is better without lurkers than it is with them, but I'm only going to focus on the lurkers when there are no other pressing leads to pursue. I let the matter drop when I thought someone had inadvertently revealed perfect information in terms of the poisoning/potential cure thing. Barto pointed out that it might not be the case, I did a quick reread of the posts in question, and saw his point. That was my main scumtell lead, so now I'm back to my standby from the last round. After JHT is Nightbringer, as his analysis post in #333 might be a result of him feeling the anti-lurker pressure this game has so far generated.

[El Barto]

And when/if jht is revealed as town?
