Geo and Jorbles accused each other once (at least one of them did) (this is all from my notes). Assuming you, CF, me, Cuzz are town that leaves pairs of Ashersky-J or Geo-A. Any of them make sense?

Do we lynch A?

Should we no-lynch right now?

Ok need to move quick, so Vote: ashersky.

Ugh, I really hope Frisk is telling the truth, just for the sake of my sanity. Idk if there's time to lynch anyone but me, which sucks. I'd probably go for Jorbles next, but my reads were really colored by thinking Frisk was scum, so I'd need to rethink everything.

What the hell, doesn't hurt to Vote: Jorbles.

I'm VT. I apologize for my miserable scumhunting, both on D1 against Robz, and today on Frisk (assuming he's not lying). You guys will be in a bit of a pickle if you do lynch me and if the NK doesn't get blocked tonight, but I wish you luck. I agree with Eevee that my posts lately looked a bit scummy (even I realized that as I was posting, but I assure you everything I said came from genuine scumhunting), so I apologize for forcing to lynch another townie.

Not sure what else to say.... Go town!

Cuzz, let's just say it's good you're around.

I wouldn't miss it!

I'm curious about this myself. It'd be nice to be able to wait for a counterclaim, but there's not much time, and such a counterclaim might not be around by the deadline. Also, this is not a completely open setup so we don't even know which PRs exist. What would you two (Eevee and Voltaire) do if Frisk claims a PR versus VT? And shouldn't I get the same opportunity to claim before you decide to lynch me instead of Frisk?

Guys, I'm willing to hammer Frisk. I'm going to finish re-reading the thread. Frisk, are you still dark? If you have a defense/claim, we need it now.*

*I know it's not very town of me over the weekend and with 105 minutes until the deadline but I'm trying to make the best of this. Longer version soon, almost done with thread. Short version: See my earliest post about Frisk, I called him out for flying under-the-radar, that read has increased ever since.
So you think Frisk is better than Cuzz I gather? Because "he has more votes" is not a reason here, as people (at least myself) have expressed willingness to change.

It's atually quite stupid, I'm starting to feel like Cuzz is scummier.. but I would feel SO STUPID if I changed and Frisk was scum and Cuzz was town. I know being afraid of humiliating outcomes shouldn't have any bearing in decisionmaking.
Yes, I think Frisk is more likely. I too am willing to vote for either.
We'll wait for Frisk's claim then. I really liked your case better fwiw + Frisk's recent behaviour has been very very scummy I think. Hopefully Cuzz is online too, so we get to hear his side of things.

By "my side" do you mean you want me to claim also? Other than that, I'm not sure what else to say, but I don't think it's appropriate since I'm still only at L-2.

I see that's two votes on me now. I've gotta run to class, and won't be able to post again until about an hour before deadline, but I'd appreciate it if no one lynch me until I can get back. I know it's still only L-2, but things often move fast at the deadline. Feel free to hammer Frisk in my absence though :-)

vote: cuzz. I may be throwing it away, but he's totally flying under the radar almost as much as volt- without the benefit of the morgrim defense.   He's still my #2 behind geo, but if you guys lynh me - and then geo dies and is town - then at least we won't leave you with no reads.

Go back and read cuzz's vote for me.  Total omgus.

I really don't think it's fair to say I'm lurking as much as Volt. You called me out on being quiet, so I've been trying to be conscious of that and posting more. Volt has hardly said anything substantial since he joined the game (and I'm beginning to fear the obvtown read is a mistake, but that's a dicsussion for another day with a deadline looming). And what is the "Morgrim defense" anyway? That Volt can claim to be emulating Morgrim's style? I certainly don't buy that as any kind of defense.

As I explained, my vote on you was not omgus, just as yours on me now isn't either. I voted for you because I thought you are scum, and you're voting for me either because you are scum, or I'm wrong and you are town and think I'm scum (which would then make us both wrong). Omgus votes don't even make sense at this point in the game. That's something you do as a joke during RVS, not as a serious vote over halfway through D2.

You're making a post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy. I certainly voted for you after you first voted for me, but not because of it. My reasons were explained at the time, but were essentially because I thought you had been rather absent during D1 and early on D2, and that your posts until then were harmless fluff designed to make yourself look active and devoid of serious scumhunting. My posting at the time was due to you for the most part (I had been meaning to do a long post anyway, but when you called me out for lurking I decided to bang one out right then), but it's content wasn't. My post just happened to include the list of who I thought was scum, which happened to include you.

I think geo is into something in his last post.

I think so too. Especially the part where he votes for you.

Also fos babies for waking up in the middle of the night.

lol.

This is the second time you've suggested going after X if Y flips town.   This shows a shockin willingness to lynch town - hedging much? 

I don't think that's a fair accusation. There's still a lot of town left, and odds for lynching scum aren't greatly in our favor, though we will be kinda screwed if we don't.

Have we heard from Voltaire?

No, and I'd really like to soon.

We've got half a day until deadline. The wagons on Geolib and ashersky have fizzled. If anyone else wanted to vote for them, they've had plenty of time and haven't done so. Frisk is at L-2, and....

...my strongest scum read is quickly becoming Frisk...

Captain Frisk: His hanging back has been pretty suspicious (kudos to whoever noticed that). I could see him being scum and could lynch him if it's that or no lynch.

...it looks like we do have the votes to lynch him. Obviously I'm not positive he's scum (if I was, I'd be scum), but we need to lynch someone. I haven't seen a great case for anyone else, and until someone presents one, I'm not comfortable voting for anyone else. I'd urge Jorbles and Geolib to go for it.

That means that if Geo is indeed scum, the only possible partners for him would be Voltaire (who we have established looks very towny) and Cuzz. Sure, Cuzz could be the partner, but only one likely possibility is.. really bad.

Eevee, if it helps your analysis, I'm not scum!

I'm not in favor of this Geolib lynch. I'm not crazy about the ashersky lynch either, but I'd prefer it to Geolib. My vote stays on Frisk.

Even after a few thousand games of Dominion, I still often find myself making some pretty silly errors in both strategy and tactics. I thought about compiling a list of a reminders for myself based on my facepalmiest mistakes. Add yours below!

1. Awesome though they are, Grand Markets are not actually worth VP. Try to remember to buy Provinces too.

2. Despite the symbol +, followed by a number, followed by the word "Cards," Warehouse and Inn decrease your handsize when played.

3. The Unstoppable City Stack often isn't.

4. Even though it's displayed at the top of the kingdom, Peddler often costs $0! Feel free to take some with those extra buys before hastily clicking "end turn"!

5. Hand is Horse Traders-Silver-Silver with an action left? Pause and think carefully for a second....

6. When playing a Scrying Pool engine with Jester/Swindler/Saboteur, you might consider not always discarding your opponent's good cards.

Hey Frisk, thanks for calling me out on being too quiet. Sometimes I keep up with reading the thread and forget I haven't personally posted anything substantial in a while, which makes the game less fun, while making me look like scum, so that's no good all around.

I don't have much time to post for a bit so I'll give a brief rundown. I agree with Frisk that Voltaire is probably town. It's hard ignore the meta: I just think Morgrim would not have dropped out if he'd had an interesting role. I'm also leaning toward ashersky being a townie who got a little nervous about a wagon on him.

Eevee, Jorbles, and Geolib I'm a little mixed on. Eevee and Geolib post a lot of in depth analysis, which seems townie to me. I think it'd be hard to post that much content as scum without slipping, though maybe I've missed something. I read town on them for now.

Jorbles has been a bit quiet (though no more so than me), so I'm not sure what to think. I'm a little suspicious of Jorbles repeated emphasis that "good scum play and good town play are the same thing." I can't quite articulate why that strikes me as scummy, but it does.

Now for the controversial move. Frisk has done a decent amount of posting, but most of it seems to be clarifying and questioning the posts of others, without offering a lot of original content, seeming to be active without much actual scumhunting. Then he votes for me. Maybe he really does think I'm scummy, but he says himself that he doesn't see a case for voting for me.

If Frisk were scum, why would he vote for me then? There are already semi-formed wagons on ash and Geo, so trying to start another this close to the deadline doesn't seem productive, so maybe he wants to fly under the radar by voting for someone who hasn't really been suspected so far, and let his partner drive the wagon on another townie.

Sorry for the lack of quotes and the rambling post. I'm in a bit of a rush and I'll try to clarify later. For now, I Vote: Captain_Frisk. This is not OMGUS, though it looks like it. There's no place for that as town on D2, and I doubt scum would be stupid enough to do what I'm doing now. What are others' thoughts on Frisk? Anyone else suspicious?

Anybody like black IPAs? Currently sitting down with a Black Hops by Blue Hills and it's pretty damn good.

2714
so, whalesong.

that reminds me of Star Trek IV. except PPS is dead and he was our trek character.

there were dolphins in hitch-hikers...

i got nothing

There was a whale too, friends with the vase of petunias IIRC.

2715
Reminder not to focus on just the arrow.  There's a bullet hole too.

So two teams/people both killed Axxle?

2716
scum archers... uh... not any important ones? nameless orcs?

Hawkeye was scum for the first half of the Avengers, eh Frisk?

Oops, didn't realize you were just talking about LotR.

okay, i'm not a whale anymore

that was odd

You know what else makes noises like that?

Werewolves.

lol! i'm not a werewolf, but that reminds me.

i have mod confirmation that there are at least FOUR quicktopics in this game, not counting the spectator one.

Holy smokes.

- scum team(s)
- weird SK QT (like jo had in RMMI)
- Masons
- Neighbours

Hm.

Also, that is some weird ability you have that got you THAT information.

Can you explain what the weird SK QT was for those who weren't there?

2719
okay, i'm not a whale anymore

that was odd

Why were you a whale?

i got turned temporarily into a whale; that's what i found out

That seems especially restrictive.

Maybe a category: best cards that add $0* or $1 costing cards to the supply?

With Tournament, Hermit, Urchin, Ruins, Shelters, etc.....

You can't really compare Tournament prizes to Ruins, it makes no sense.
But you could compare Tournament to looters perchance.

Yeah, I really don't think it makes any sense to compare $0* to $0. I think Donald X. once said the $0* symbol was just like a placeholder to emphasize that they can't be bought. OK, I guess they do count as costing 0 for purposes of remodeling and such, but in terms of "worth" or "value" the $0* might as well be a $@. It's just not useful to compare them directly.

Fun fact, $@ is actually used here in Canada.  Given how close we are to the States, we don't mind using USD if it's around, e.g. cashiers don't mind if they get a random American nickel vs. our own nickels.  It's pretty much the same to us.  $@ denotes the difference between USD and CAD.  So $5 USD == $5 CAD + $@.



Did anyone believe that?

That sounds completely loony to me.

I'd imagine Moneylender is a decent target also. Also keeps you from having to buy a pawn with $7 when you realize you're really gonna need some +Buy.

Nice listing, but Curse should be in its whole own tier. Not only doesn't it provide any benefit, it directly hurts you if you don't get rid of it and there's nothing to mitigate its awfulness.

Curse is a great defense against Mountebank.
