Ok.  We need to do stuff.  So everyone post, ok? 

WW, when are you going to shoot?

I think WW set no deadline if I remember correctly.

yeah, that is why I am asking.

Prods are automatic and do not have to be requested in this game.  I am being more lenient than stated in the rules (as previously quoted) but will issue prods after 48 hours of inactivity.

Rereading the thread this stood out to me again:
That Xerxes guy is scummy. Someone should vote for him.

Vote: Xerxes

Also, what have I done / not done that's scummy?
Also, POE this early probably won't be very useful.

These are his second and third posts of the game.  Faust was clearly not serious in his post, but xp still felt the need to defend himself.  First he joke-votes himself, then asks how he is scummy.  I don't really see this reactive behavior from town!xp.  I originally voted for him because of the "PoE...won't be...useful" bit, which I still don't like.  Which goes completely along me my totally disagreement with this statement:
I'm also not sure if revealing all your reads this early is a good idea, if your suspect is in fact scum, he can adapt to it. I mean that's a general thing, so you probably have your reasons, but yeah.

Scum knows who other scum are.  Town doesn't.  In my opinion, honest reads from town are one of the best tools for finding scum.  Scum have to fabricate reads.  Which is much more difficult than just saying what you think.  But silverspawn is definitely consistent and hasn't given out any reads.  He has made jokes, corrected grammar, voted several different people, and done a lot without getting much done.  I am going to keep my vote on xp, but my second choice right now is silverspawn for scum.

I'm not really interested in a timed variant to prevent games running too long, as it's not a problem I come across.  I do think Blitz Dominion could be fun though.  I'm not even sure I'd make any allowance for playing lots of cards: if you want to play an intricate engine under time pressure, that's your call.

yeah, that is my worry:  that these games would end up mostly being BM+X

Hey, lets keep arguing among all the townies, let the scum slip under the radar, and then WW can be awesome and shoot scum. 

Sounds good?

Dominion General Discussion / Re: timed dominion
« on: October 31, 2014, 03:00:54 pm »
That is an interesting idea.  To go back to comparing it with chess, when watching WW's stream I will occasionally watch him play speed  chess.  I forget exactly what app he plays it on, but he can set the timer to 1:00, 5:00, 10:00, or whatever.  It is still chess, but the game is completely different depending on what amount of time you allot for the game.  1:00 for all your turns (so 2:00 combined) is totally different than a 5:00 timer, which is again completely different than an untimed game. 

Basically, I think I would really enjoy playing this way, but when playing you just have to remember that it is a completely different game than untimed dominion.  Also, you have to remember that you can't just make a play in a split second.  To buy and play action cards there is a lot more interaction than you would have with chess.  And therefore a lot more time.  And then inter-player interaction within turns would do strange things to how you keep time.  And then the different cards would effect how long you need.

Ok, continuing with stream of conscious thoughts:  What if everyone started at 0:00, and your timer goes up for how long you take making decisions, and your opponent's timer goes up when he is making decisions.  Then do something with the total time, number of turns, dividing those numbers in some way, translating to VPs, and then adding to the overall score?  I don't know.

8360
The Rules:

5. Prods of missing players will be issued automatically after 24 hours of no activity (VLA posts in the official VLA thread negate automatic prods). A prodded player has 24 hours to respond or risks replacement. A player who has been prodded 3 times is subject to replacement without further notice.

Games usually get very lax about inactivity in later days, and I have done the same thing.  However, after 4 days of inactivity, this is a second prod on Jimmmmm.  One more prod will result in a mod-kill.

Not quite.

1) Faust is always against claiming.  I can't remember a game where faust was in favor of claiming.
2) The fact that faust bread crumbed something about his role is extremely out of character.
3) He then asks me if I know something about his role or if I knew whether or not he needed to bread crumb, which in itself is kind of rolefishing for stuff I may or may not know  (which I don't know anything about his role)

I am giving a town read to faust because these things don't make sense unless he is town.  It sounds a lot like some sort of enabled role, blah blah blah, I don't know.  This is an RMM game so anything goes.  I just don't see faust doing something this out of character as scum.

1. Saying that I am "always against claiming" is a misrepresentation of my meta IMO. Can you back this up?
3. it was a rhethorical question.

I appreciate you buddying me, but it doesn't stop my scum read.

Ok, I actually went through and skimmed through some of the games you have been in, and I will admit that (1) is a misrepresentation of your meta.  I probably should have looked back at those games before saying that instead of just throwing it out there.

Although I can say that you are against claiming this game, but were one of the people that threw out a little morsel for us to chew on about your role.  And how was I supposed to know that your question was rhetorical.

What's the case on me? You seems to just repeating over and over that you want to shoot me.

Why is everyone using this as a defense?  The case against you is your especially scummy D1 voting record.  To review that record, please reference my post here.

the first rule of claiming: you don't talk about claiming.

So far EgorK, PPS, and faust have all bread crumbed little things about their roles that they didn't need to.  That is much scummier than advocating flavor claims.

Also, love EgorK's question about whether or not scum has fake claims.  Way to fish for town points.

e is being absurdly scummy here. Let's lynch e.

Do you know my role or how do you know whether or not I needed to bread crumb?

I have no clue what your role is or whether or not you needed to bread crumb.  But you did.  And you are also always 100% against claiming.  And you think I am scum for suggesting that flavor claiming is fine.  All of which makes me think you are pretty scummy.  But I have always thought you were scummy in games where you were town.  (the aforementioned DWII)

so yeah, you are probably my top town read right now.

So you are giving faust a town read b/c you were wrong in the past, after listing a whole bunch of scummy actions?  vote: e

Not quite.

e is scummier than Hydrad though. I believe Hydrad didn't think stuff through here, which he could have done as either alignment. e purposefully suggested a plan that is most likely anti-town.

DWII  all over again?

Look, I'm being Voltaire and I'll do some D1 PoE list.

----

Look, my lynch pool is already down to 8 people. That's not too bad for early D1.

I fully endorse this.  Maybe not his list, but the PoE

Is the mcmc thing a joke, or what?

I think so.

Also, POE this early probably won't be very useful.

PoE is always useful.  It lets people know what you are thinking.  Saying otherwise is scummy.  vote: XerxesPraelor

Well yes I understand that in general, but every instantiation need not be the same.  I've never done a day 1, off-the-bat massclaim before, so I'd be willing to try it.

It is actually quite fun.  I flavor-claimed with Ash in DWII and we were both town.  Flavor-claiming won't hurt anyone this game (I don't think) because our flavor names are the 13 guilds cards.  So being town/scum is probably independent of flavor.  I actually kind of like claiming flavor. 

In favor of claiming flavor: e
opposed: everyone else

Snap, I almost missed fuzzy. Vote: Eevee

Did you get me yet?

More role leaking from pps...still don't see a great town narative for the way pps is playing. Of course I don't know his meta game that well.

Ppe1: now I like where your going though I wish you would back it up, why vote eevee?(I support the vote but not the lack of explaination)

His meta is looks scummy day 1, gets mislynched. I hardily believe we should look elsewhere.

yeah, PPS is definitely town here.

Brazenly defensive Joth is scum Joth. Still on my list!

scum joth brazenly defends himself. town joth brazenly defends others.

yeah, theo is definitely town here

Even online Dominion gets old after 1000 games in 31 days!  You decide it’s time to meet some “real” people, so you sign up for Speed Dating Mafia!  In this set-up, you are paired with another player and you must vote together.  Each day you have a new partner, and Daychat with that partner.  Starting Day 3 you have the option to choose your partner. 

Wait a second, you are telling me Dominion gets old and we need to meet people IRL?  I object.   I would play, but will be speed dating for real....at a friend's wedding

Funny story, I started dating a girl after hanging out with her at this wedding.  Sad story, this game never happened. 

Any interest for this weekend?  I would love to play, but need other people and a mod (EFHW? someone else?)

we will talk setup until our IC!mcmc and mason!faust decide someone has scumslipped, create a completely erroneous argument about them because scumslips don't exist, fill up a decent wagon on that person, lynch someone else at the last moment, then analyze wagons and the NK to start D2.

if this is the case
it's not entirely unreasonable for scum to be 1-shot lynchproof here.
we will have an interesting situation where scum can claim governor after the fact and try to get away with it.

But doesn't the person that actually got Governor know?

Players will not be told whether or not they payed the most for the Governor.

townpoints for not reading the setup.  :P
