YPG is not an acceptable nickname for someone whose username does not include the letters Y, P or G.

Ok, there's p in there but it's not even a P sound.

what? you're wrong. YPG is a great nickname.

I agree. If 2.7 can be called e than YPG works too.

goodness back in the day mcmcsalot was called mom salon because everyone's phones kept autocorrecting it and it stuck.

Ampharos, on the other hand, confuses me. It always reminds me of Amorphis.

Right, given all the games of f.ds mafia they've played in, it must be pretty annoying.

It's a bad nickname in a mafia context because it's an acronym referring to an avatar. There's no way you'd be able to guess that without context, and what if he changes his avatar ? I guess it's fine in this game because it's been discussed, but if it becomes a thing it's going to have to be very confusing to anyone who hasn't played with Ampharos before.

All of which is pretty unimportant though. Anyone want to lynch e ?

PPE : E=2.7 is something you can understand though. I'm horrible at math and did not know what it was, but when I saw someoneuse it I looked at the player list, google 2.7etc. and got it. Can't do that with YPG.

momsalon was a similarly bad nickname, though at least it resembled the name. No one was using it by the time I got here though, s I never got to rant about it.

Okay, since I'm at L-2 right now, let me just say that I understand Day 1 is basically a shot in the dark.  I completely get that someone's gotta bite the bullet, and since scum seemingly did a good job hiding today (our wagons! they do nothing!), I am willing to be that person if I have to be.  It won't be the biggest blow to town if I go, and really you all have more experience playing with each other than I do.  I'd like to keep playing, but if that's not in the cards for this game, well, there's always next.  Today's been long enough for me to get my fill in anyways, haha  ;D

Basically, if we can't find someone we think is scum, you can lynch me if you want.  I'm not going to be super thrilled, but I understand someone's gotta go down, and there are worse people to lose than I.

I just think that every nickname works as soon as people use it. if he changes his avatar, sweet. that will likely cause funny conversations in the future.

Nothing decisive, but leaning town. Certainly not in my lynchpool today.

My track record reading WW is awful, at least on day 1. He hasn't done anything out of the ordinary, so he's null to me.

hmmmm hm.... unvote and I am not into a 2.7 lynch.

For starters the guy has died Night1 both times he played recently. maybe that isn't a very good reason to not lynch someone (and he could still die Night1) but I feel bad and would need a compelling argument, which I haven't really seen. I guess defending me with completely legitimate reasons isn't enough for me to want to lynch someone.

is egorK still an option?

I disagree with everything unimportant in this post. You can google Ampharos, and you  will find a yellow pokemon, even if Ampharos changes his avatar. That said, I don't like the acronym YPG either. I also don't like the acronyms II, Igu, Igua or Iguanda, but that's all beside the point.

I agree with the actual content of this post. Ampharos is a bad lynch. He's towny, and the fact that he has never played with Yuma, hasn't read previous games, and is saying he doesn't know how to read Yuma is reason to give him slack for trying to push a Yuma lynch, not reason to go after him.

If it was Awaclus OTOH pushing a Yuma lynch, one would expect him to know better. Oh wait, Awaclus was pushing a Yuma lynch.

Everyone is saying they're fine with an Awaclus lynch. Well, I'll say that I like it a lot better than an Ampharos lynch.

Any takers?

it's funny because I never realized there was no d in your name.

I for one didn't know that Amorphis was a pokemon, and I'm guessing Teproc didn't either.

The Ampharos wagon is a fascinating rollercoaster.

yuma, since when do you ask for permission to vote someone ? Anyway, EgorK has two votes right now.

@iguana : I actually never said Ampharos was a bad lynch. That's where I am right now but I'm not sure, I need to reread him.

I did not realize Ampharos was the pokemon's name (only played the yellow one, sorry), that makes YPG slightly better, though it's still one degree removed.

Hm, if we fully believe yuma with his claim it is advantageous for town to use his role. Absent mafia NK it is neutral, but because of mafia NK there is chance that targets would be same, which sways shooting in town favor

I highly doubt the math checks out on that, but I'll let the competent people tackle that. faust ? 2.7 ?

And also he probably can't kill himself (can you, yuma?) which makes it even better. But we make the game much more variative, so I'd say he should do it only if we lynch town

Absent mafia NK it is neutral

I really doubt that. Do you have any reason to think it?

There are two aspects that make it differ from neutral. It could only be neutral if they fully balance each other out

- the game is roughly balanced around random death / town death. Increasing the former is good. this makes it better
- the game is intentionally balanced to let scum win with random lynches, because town has reads. this makes it worse.
