Exactly, xeiron just layed out why Nik is probably town.

This one:

Exactly, xeiron just layed out why Nik is probably town.

I tend to think that someone who votes in most of their posts on day 1 is scum. Scum trying to push a lynch. Why does that make him town? Because it's too obvious?

Yes, but more importantly, as xeiron says, because that's what he did in NM4 as town.

So yes, he could be scum, but he's new enough that if he's matching his town meta like this he's got to be more likely town. I simply cannot see it any other way.

@ww

It's been a little while since I took logic. But after (3) wouldn't you have B-->A
?
Otherwise it's just one assumption that leads to a single conclusion.

PPE: 2

Well the point is that in WIFOM you're not making the assumption that you want to prove. (You're not assuming that A is true in order to show that B is true.)  You know that A->B is a sensible thing to think and that B-> A is also a sensible thing to think.  But A and B can't both be true.  You have to (somehow) judge which is more likely.

Of course in that previous post I misspoke what circular reasoning was.  I meant to say, you want to show A=>B.  You assume B.  (Do some stuff that's not really relevant.)  You conclude B is true. 

Anyway, all off topic.

But this could just be the way he is.  Just because his scummy town play turned out to be town before doesn't mean scummy town => town always.

But IF you take that premise (I do not), even then, it is a null tell for him, not a scum tell! This is what I am saying.

Nik feels like the classic "scum paints townie who was vaguely confusing/strange into a mislynch" mold.

It's extremely hard to replicate your town meta to a T though, and this is what Nik is doing here.

Exactly. That's my fear. I feel like Nik would play comparably as scum too.

And in HoC, we wasn't jumping quite so much, was he?  I thought he was pretty set on you for most of the game.  He went for some other votes, but he was going back to you fairly consistently.

Well, is Scott's vote based on him lurking, or him doing scummy stuff?  He's VLA and has posted there.

I have no scumread yet in this game (except the one I had on Axxle). Only townreads, slight townreads and null reads. Out of these I naturally want to lynch my nullreads.

Scott Pilgrim has not made many posts, and those he has made has been pretty uncontroversial. (In contrast to e.g Nik) Because of this it is hard to get a good read on him. When there is no scummier option, people who are hard to read makes good lynches. Of the same reason I could easy support lynching Robz or Chairs as well.

I am aware that Scott Pilgrim has posted V/LA, and while that explains the few posts, I do not think we should refrain from lynching him because of that.

I'm willing to hammer.

How long should we wait to see if he wants to claim or anything?  He hasn't posted for... days, right?

Can we get a prod on SP?

Hey everyone, I haven't posted in a few days because I haven't had internet access.  I will be really busy for the next few days and probably won't be able to post much, and I don't have time to catch up now...

Deadline is Wednesday, that's a really bad time for me.  Hopefully I can catch up before then...

This is his last post. He said he might reach the deadline.
