Woah yea umbrage has said absolutely nothing non newb aid related. I agree his vote on wcd was terrible she be town.
From following along my biggest scum read has been silverspawn. His contribution has been limited to his “let’s get everyone to vote” post which he claimed was to incite drama (here’s your drama). I think it was not helpful, forcing people to get reads out is best done by directly asking question and Faust does well getting everyone’s general vote/read out benefits scum because they can see where the lynch of least resistance is.
I disagree. I think it was helpful. Posting begets posting. The worst thing that can happen is that no-one cares and no-one has anything to say. And that kind of thing does happen, I've seen it happen before. And it's not good for town. On the other hand, I don't recall any game where there was a minimum quantity of discussion, but it was all so devoid of content that I didn't find any alignment indicative stuff in it. If there is a concerning lack of activity, which there was, then more stuff is a very safe bet for a good thing. And people did start to post a bit immediately afterwards, so it might have even worked.
Silver also made what I think is the scummiest post of the whole game:
This is now the second time silver is inciting the idea that we need to be more directed in our reads and votes. This post comes on the 18th which is 3 days after start and 4 days before deadline way too early to be concerned about this I think. He then goes on to give a clear direction that we shouldn’t be lynching a vet. This is absolutely crazy and wrong. Vets partake in newbie games to help out through tough day ones and provide tips about game theory/wording. They absolutely are no there to help lead the charge in finding scum nor should they be held to any safer standard than newbies. [/quote]
I think it wasn't wrong at the time. If you have a game with three vets and one+ of them is scum, then if you lynch a vet day 1, what will happen is that a second vet dies n1 which leaves a bunch of people who're playing for the first time and one vet who is scum. That is really bad.
And you don't have any argument why it's not bad, you're just making the policy/moral case. It's always bad to answer a factual argument with a moral argument.
And you also conveniently left out this post:
Now that mcmc is here, the vet thing becomes less relevant.
I took the vet thing back as soon as you were here, because with 4 the same argument no longer applies. Where is the scum motivation for that?
