Pick up the 3 keyed keyboard and play the world's shortest song.  Then turn on keytar and run up to the adventurous crowd in slow-motion while playing chariots of fire on my keytar.

In the game I played with McG he did not play like that and he was town so his defense was false

Um, we are not allowed to reference that game.
What game I referenced u not a game

In the game I played with McG

That game is ongoing, so we can't reference it.

Yeah Jake, just because you didn't include the name of the game doesn't mean you didn't reference the game.

Before I say something, I should ask: What are the rules about referencing other specific games? Are finished games ok, while in progress ones are obviously off limits? Or should that just not happen in general?

You got it.  If the game is done, you can reference, quote, link, etc.

If the game hasn't finished, don't say anything about it.

Ok. So I went back and reread all of RMM37 D1 to compare scum RR to this game RR.  While I didn't see anything concrete to go on, my general impression is that RR has at least been more pro-town if not towny so far, so at least for now I would be against an RR wagon.  I think that's pretty unlikely to happen, but I think I saw at least someone besides Jake say they could vote for him.

I also agree with everyone who has been saying Jake's play so far has been anti-town, but I didn't want to jump on the wagon and make it L-1 because if he isn't scum, only one scum would have had to jump on and to hammer.  That being said, if he keeps derailing or dominating the thread and he does get lynched, I won't be too upset, even if he's town.

Just read everything but didn't find anything essential, though.
Jake is just playing like his usual self which is alignment-unindicative and anti-town.
My initial impression of McGarnacle got a little enhanced though, his "I have played like that before and was town" seemed quite self-aware.
Rest absolute null.

I'm not sure if reading someone as self-aware actually makes that person more likely to be town.  A really good player should be self-aware and able to compare different playstyles to your own, regardless of what alignment you currently are. So far I don't have much of an opinion on McG, but the example used to make him look towny is not enough to move me that direction on him.

Outside of that comment, overall Calamitas still didn't add anything new after being called out for lurking.  I'm not going to vote for him yet, since there is still several irl days left of D1 and I totally understand being busy, but as a matter of anti-lurking, I wouldn't see a Calamitas wagon as the worst thing for the game.

doing what again i'm not lurking or act-lurking

acti-lurking = active lurking: To post a bunch of useless crap that makes you seem active, potentially the most active, as a way to bring attention to how towny you are by posting.

Just posting the same reads over and over again is not towny. There has been enough content after your read that you could have reread at least a few people to have something new by now, anyway.

Crazy theory, but neither RR or Jake are scum, but Robz and pps are, and they want to make sure both RR and Jake can be accused as scum to maximize the number of people they could divert attention to

Ok. I guess you guys know them significantly better than I do, so for now I'll defer, but at the very least I don't think 'both scum' is the most likely option.

Regardless of my previous comment:

Slight town points to RR. He's been slightly more active this game than I've seen.  Some of that has been fluff, but he's contributed just enough to not be neutral.

Robz seems like he's been acti-lurking a little bit. Pretty much the only thing he has said other than agreeing with other comments and fluff was about RR and Jake knowing each other a few times.  Overall, pretty neutral so far, but worth watching.

IDPTG seems like new!town to me, but that's just because his "how do we start this" post was a written version of exactly what I was thinking my first game on here.  If he was scum, I don't think he would have brought that much attention to himself if it was his first game.

It's not much, but it's what has stood out so far.

P.S. Can confirm SA looovees setup discussion and exploits haha

Actually, rather than do one big post, I'll just say things as I see them to make it easier to keep track of stuff while I write.

The long interaction between Jake and RR struck me as genuine.  Either both are town, one but not both of them are scum.  Unless they are better than I am giving them credit for (possible given RR's scum play in my last game), I don't think they would have faked that if both were scum.

Jake and RR are close IRL and in every game I've played with them so far they just talk at each other constantly, and don't read each other particularly well.

Very much this. There's nothing the rest of us can really gain from it.

Has anyone seen the two of them together on the same scum team to confirm they talk like this then too? If not, my point stands.  I don't care if they are misreading each other.  I'm just saying that if they were both scum, the interaction would feel somewhat forced, which it doesn't to me. So while we can't tell anything about what they are individually, I am still inclined to say (unless someone remembers a game where they did this) that they both aren't scum.

Hey everyone. Sorry I missed all the initial "excited for this flavor" posts, but this looks like it's already shaping up to be a good one. To those of you I met in RMM37, hey! and everyone else, good to meet you.  Hopefully this week isn't as busy as this weekend was.
Hello, and nice to meet you!

Any impressions or thoughts on what anyone has said this far?

Well, I've seen a few things I want to reread, but it was just skimming right before I crashed last night, so nothing useful off the top of my head at the moment.  I'll post a full reads post this afternoon when I can go back, read the thread, and keep track of who said what.

I will say, I like the activity level of this game compared to the Worms game that just ended.  This is only my second game, but scum!lurkers won that game for scum, so my opinion (without very much evidence to back it up) is pretty firmly lurkers should be lynched.

The setup also says "each player starts with 100 health," So due to my inexperience here in RMM games, I don't know if a blanket statement like that precludes the possibility of a tank role starting with more or not. That would be up to more experienced players to evaluate.

Each player has a special ability that is connected to the setup. These abilities are distributed independent of alignment.

Quoted from the setup.  If ability assignments are truly independent of alignment, then there is no reason to think tank was any less likely to be scum than any other role.

What other case would some arbitrary "we" only need 2 town votes to lynch someone on D2 on the condition that all 4 scum are still alive? I don't mean for this to sound like sort of a gotcha question or something like that, I just really haven't been able to think of another case where that statement makes sense.  So if there is a good reason why the town would only need 2 votes to lynch tomorrow, please explain it.

If we don't lynch scum here, D2 we'll only need 2 town votes to lynch.

This assumes someone dies in the night. Which could be unlikely

No it doesn't.

Good point. I actually don't like this statement. Well only need two votes. Sounds slightly like you are talking like we as in the mafia. Anyway, I doubt that scum would all get on the same wagon together.

I agree with that.

He's also been reverse tunneling Ghacob, ergo calling him town over and over. He's posted things about how Ghacob is so towny 3 times in a row, and he only stopped to point out fluff then vote for me. And I don't like reverse tunneling. It's too much like white knighting. So vote: mail-mi. My mini-case is strong enough for me.

unvote I like this from RR too.

Everyone is scumreading them and I think people are wrong. What else should I do about it?

Back to vote: schadd

I started typing a post, but then mail posted this and I had to go back and do some reading.  I don't remember and in my skimming didn't see any people scumread RR at all.  Unless ctrl + f failed me, mail was the only person that voted for them at all so far too.  RR actually seems like one of the more consistent town reads by the people who have posted their reads, so mail's claim that "Everyone is scumreading them" looks really scummy to me.  The thought being that if someone agrees that RR looks towny and then believes the claim other people were scumreading RR, that person will be more likely to give mail more town-cred for townreading RR.  I know he (please correct me if I'm wrong) unvoted, but what choice did he have?

That post is enough to make me vote: mail-mi.

I sense a misunderstanding. "Them" in this case was Ghacob, not RR. RR is a "he," btw.

Crap, that makes sense. I thought I finally saw something worthwhile... While I admit my post is now pointless, I do still like RR's point, so I'm still comfortable with my vote.

I guess bidding is just extreme WIFOM. And it still looks like J Reggie is just slinging votes around

JR has voted for five different people already.  I've seen several people say they read him as town. Could someone explain what it is that makes you read town, because irl, in any game I've ever played, accusing that many people first round would almost for sure get the accuser lynched.

It's not pro-town to tunnel the same person all of D1.

Yeah I'm aware of that. Obviously your vote will change from a random vote right at the beginning to something slightly more educated as people actually post.  However, voting for half the people in the game seems sort of extreme.
