Scum
A problem with both this and the Demon Council game, though, is that there were multiple scum teams, meaning that I didn't have to fake the scumhunting (indeed, mistaking Visor for a bussing scumbag was what won me the DC game).

Only up to post 1750, but wanted to drop a line. I think I pinched a nerve in my neck yesterday, so I'm alternating between great paina nd being drugged to the gills. If my posts seem.... odd, my apologies in advance.

I keep seeing posts like this, and while I understand where they are coming from, I think they overlook the amount of power that people wield through their rhetoric. Sure, your district rep doesn't have to vote where you do, but you do influence how they vote through the arguments you make. Just because you can't put the noose around someone's neck yourself doesn't mean you can't tie the rope.OoG: After D1, the problem with a game setup like this has become evident.

Yes, I said that. We got it. This isn't about mechanics pertinent to balance. Visor is raising the point that rhetoric without effective votes is less fun for individual players.I keep seeing posts like this, and while I understand where they are coming from, I think they overlook the amount of power that people wield through their rhetoric.

I… I can't make sense of most of what people say. I read the first hundred unread posts out of >400, then my brain again started to feel as if if were melting into cheese. So any analysis comes from those posts plus one in which Cass_ used the mention feature.Here have this Vote:Winston He seems alright...

It wasn't my first post and it was obviously a joke post addressed at Winston. And yes, my username on CFC is Takhisis.if ure Tak then apparently I have ages ago. But heres the thing.

And the bold itself feels scummy as pocket-lint and possible WIFOMY linkage so FTR I didn't vote to save your life. I voted because between the two of you, Choxorn was more certainly scum.
I don't find the move odd. I find the procedure itself odd. Town strikes gold, yes, but someone being very scummy could not be lynched because the chancellor and/or representatives of the day felt otherwise. We have a gerrymanderable lynch vote.Pulling this out of the Monty ISO.

btw if you hadn't dropped that mention I would have skipped straight through your post, as I said above.
i kinda like that el barto post, maybe
Yeah, there will need to be more, but I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt for now.
unvote
These guys on the other hand...
Summary of Riedquat's meaningful contributions thus far:
*Votes Visor for all three categories on D1.
*Votes Winston for the D2 election + suspects Visor.
*Orders his town reads within district 2: Winston, Monstr, Visor, El Barto.
*Acknowledges his own and others' scumminess by reason of inactivity.
Summary of BSmith's meaningful contributions thus far:
*D1 votes Winston for rep, Visor for chancellor, and Al Sips for lynch, claiming he hasn't read the thread yet.
*Changes rep vote to Visor to test his ability claim.
*D2 votes Winston for rep + calls Visor and Winston townie + votes Cuth for lynch on the Sooh thing + says Monty is 'making good cases' + various other obvious reads

BSmith's read of Monty is the closest thing to a deviation from the path of least resistance in those two ISOs.
But I'm not sure if that makes him more scummy than Riedquat or less.

From the other end of the scale, Zack looks scummy to me.
I was going to say Monstr as well, but he comes out much better on review. There's the chatty stuff, but there's also lot of pushes and opinions, and a sense of actually trying to understand.
With Zack it feels more like he's trying to bury any read attempt in a pile of spam.

There's also the bad boy attitude, which Zack tends to ham up as scum in my experience.
In the row with Jabbz yesterday, I didn't feel like he was really trying to understand this player he'd never met before. It was more like he was just taking an opportunity to get in someone's face.
Today I feel like he's been running interference, discouraging the town core in his interactions with them, and making it harder for the inactives to keep up by waging his post war with Monstr.

As I recall, I correctly townread you D1 in the cross-community game at MU. well i don't think you've ever townread me in the last few years unless you were a wolf so glad we got here
But what is this response anyway? You think it's townie than I'm scumreading you based on meta BS?
I thought it was obviously sarcastic

Thing is, for all your love of shitposting, I know you like to win.
And this game I can follow your actions as more plausibly win-oriented if you're scum than if you're town.

I literally only joined this game so my bet with gh could be resolved quicker, because it's more fun that way than if it's in some random game in 2 months when we've all but forgotten it anyways
and now my only window at being able to meaningfully affect the game slipped away with the way elections and d1 shaped out
and in any case i don't see how I'm not playing for a win as town anyways, i'm not even sure what i'd have to do to fit that arbitrary requirement in your mind. I did zero to save choxorn yesterday, so lol at the accusation of my play making more sense driving for a scum win.
saying I haven't made pushes and opinions doesn't make it true
if you're expecting something like the mtgs game on mu you should read the last few town games i've been in to see that's not happening
