The only thing that stands out about Barghast right now is him saying to refrain from hasty actions. This to me seems like scum trying to seem super town because its day one and day one cases are shitty at best, downright random at worst

Your poetry is hurtful to my ears and eyes. Methinks this is worthy of more attention.

As for myself, my suggestion was not a suggestion, but a statement - the emperor does not make mistakes. If we his humble servants should do something which makes it seem as if the emperor has indeed erred, then we, not he, are the ones at fault.

I disagree my lord. Calligraphy is best done a frozen pond after dipping your ice skates into Ink. The challenge is to make clean cuts and not write out of order. Being able to jump is the best way to move from letter to letter.

I've also been getting a certain vibe from Rashan, from almost their first post, there is just a scummy feeling to him. As far as discussing mechanics goes though it doesn't seem overly involved though, still, i'll defintly be paying attention there.

underlined made me chuckle/

Hard to lynch a low profiler on day one as its diffucult to determine who hasn't checked in/ the game started at a weird hour for them, between those laying low.

Ah, but there's a difference between people who are not posting much and people who are laying low. I mean, you're not going to lynch someone who has said nothing, but someone who posts but is non-committal...those you can go after.

What Karosis said here also made me uneasy. Going for someone who seems non-committal, not someone who hasn't posted but someone who is not making waves? It is day one. Day one generally does not see very many strong cases and it can be understandable then why people are non-committal, many are even though they vote a certain player on day one. I'm not saying non-commital players do not warrant attention but I think that they become more apparent and more likely to be scum or role later in the game. On day one it can be a combination of not much to comment on, weak cases and time constraints. I think going after that on day one makes it just as likely to hit town.

Interesting stuff on Rashan. I personally don't find early role spec to be all that much of a scum tell, but worth bearing in mind.

The one who caught my attention was actually Kalse. His first post felt like he was trying too hard:

And So I arrive to a scene of poetry, innuendos and poorly executed Haikus. How far our mighty court has fallen. How do we expect to make any money with such drivel. Calligraphy is where it's at. Left handed Calligraphy is all the rage these days! So I give to you my gift. The most excellent calligraphy in the land. All for the glory of the empire!

He starts off with an off-the-cuff summary, which always triggers my warning flags, and then he proceeds to try and continue the RP, but in a manner that feels forced. It's almost as if he was saying to himself: "I must blend in with the other RPers!" as he typed it.

My RP was forced?

You are trying to hard, have people hit a nerve with you regarding the swaying of the Rashan tide perhaps?

Another vote change Karosis? Working together with Rashan maybe? Both of these ones guys seem a bit scummy to me, but Karosis more so.

I may be persuaded to vote Rashan for a lynch.

[Rashan]

:yawn:

I can already tell I'm going to be lynched today, unless someone does something crazy.

[Sorrit]

Well personally I want to lynch a low poster. I have noticed that Mockra has yet to post. It is probably Venge. Lets lynch him before he has a chance to post.

Vote Mockra

[Korvalain]

With this game we know that there are multiple cults working against town and against each other. Even though Rashan is looking a bit suspisous I'm not sure if taking him out is the best bet. Most likely our suspicions of him are incorrect and he is a fellow minister. My concern with a recruiting aspect of the game is that cult will either lay low or fail that target players that are laying low in hopes that they won't get targeted by night actions and therefore have a better chance of gaining their numbers much more quickly.

I think this game moreso than a regular scum vs town game we need lots of vocal people around. I'd much rather go after a quiet one day 1 than one of the more vocal players around. I don't even think that Fener, Gamelon, Liosan or Okaros have even posted. I say at least for now put some pressure on one of the absent players to see what we can squeeze out of them and to decide if they will be worth keeping around for later.

It is true. I would be amiable to a Fener lynch. If that alt wasn't cursed before Khell got it then it certainly is after he wallowed around as Steve.

Yep you are right. You voted for Fener and Silanah voted for you. Regardless, as Sorrit mentioned, the alt is cursed and we would be well in seeing it removed from the game.

[Omtose]

I don't have much time to play until Friday. Having read up, the Rashan case does have merit, well as much merrit as any day one case.

Koralain has also pinged my radar with his post saying he was ready to "whore himself out" (post #51)

I will be back in time for a vote. For now I will wait.

Olar Ethil, on 13 March 2012 - 07:36 PM, said:

Yes but on day one there is usually scant little and the reasons and cases are almost always bullshit, and wrong. It is not always vocal players that are lynched either, or not ones that were massively vocal before being targeted, sometimes it is for a small exchange, a joke etc. I am not suggesting we should lynch a vocal player but that it seems considering it is day one and people generally don't fully kick into gear at this point that going after someone who is seen as non-commital is at this point more likely to hit a town player. That player hasn't had a massively volume of posts and isn't saying something out there, lets lynch them, just seems strange. Which is the way what you said came across to me, even if you didn't mean it as such. Also, some people generally have less agressive play styles which against more aggressive ones may seem non-commital.

Also by that reasoning it is just as sensible to go after an actual low poster as opposed to a mild one.

The reason I was feeling that the pool of players who are around but not coming to any decisions was a better bet was simply that I tend to find scum have more enthusiasm for at least being part of the game. But of course that doesn't rule out people who are schedulistically challenged, so it's a fair point that the actual low posters are just as much fair game.


I get the impression that you still have the paradigm wrong here. You are still worrying about possibly hitting an inno with a playstyle that fits the profile I'm proposing we target. This is not the right mindset to be in - when we have such a huge majority, you should not be worrying about getting it wrong, but rather thinking about what you could try doing to get it right with the lynch.
