I presume it's being interpreted as scumarining, and maybe it is... but not necessarily.
Maybe players with more past experience with MM are seeing something I'm not.
I will go so far to say that if there must be a blind/semi-blind lynch, it is best to choose a player that is showing minimal participation.

@MM, I don't get your "four votes" bit. Only two are voting you, and I never said (intentionally anyway) that you are one vote away from claiming. Whichever way you twist and turn it, four votes makes no sense.

Are you Vanilla Town or are you some other role?
NOTE: If you refuse to answer this question you will be assumed to be Vanilla Town, until 'proven' otherwise (though some players might still try to lynch you anyway).
18. Be wary of mass claims, mechanisms have been put in place to prevent this.
HotShot53 wrote:Asking a brand new player "what about your role?", knowing there is a good chance they could actually respond to it with their role seems extremely suspicious to me. I know when called on it you subsequently said you were just asking if he was two characters or not... but if you were, then you wouldn't have asked about the role, you would have just asked about 2 characters or not. This is the most suspicious thing I've seen so far on day 1, so I will vote ZaBeast

Hi KJ and welcome to the game.
I understand you just joined, but could you give us a little more to work on? You couldn't find any scum tells (and that's ok, there's not that much to work on D1), but do you have any particular opinions about the setup? And what about your role? Pika wanted to know if anybody was playing more than one character. He said he had information he would share if no one was.

Does the second part of this post not answer the questions you posed in the first part?Thorthoth wrote:Players who are voting MM, please elaborate on your reasoning.

Alright, Gaston.Skoffin wrote: Where is our vote count? This is why I am the bestest vote counter ever. No one vote counts like I do.
This line in particular shows to me that you knew exactly why a mass vanilla-town claim would be a bad thing for town, once you claim vanilla town you're effectively saying "I'm one of the [lesser(?)] Dwarves", the natural response to this is "Which Dwarf?", to which a true vanilla townie can easily answer truthfully, but a town power role cannot. Either the town power role declines to answer, leaving them a probable lynch target and potentially still a target for scum (provided they have no better town power role to target that night), or they must then claim their actual role, given the number of characters this would most likely be Bilbo or Gandalf, two of the surely most important town roles in this game. This would be bad.Thorthoth wrote:btw, are you shocked because you believe my claim, or because you don't believe my claim? I'm standing by it, but how can I prove it? Maybe there is a way...

I'm not the only one. In fact it's being talked about again today. Is DDS a suspect now too?
ZaBeast wrote:Now, since the deadline is approaching, I'd like Pika to reveal the important info he wanted to tell us, since it's unlikely anybody is gonna come forward as playing two dwarves (and I don't think anybody is). And also (and this is not an argument, but I am sure I am in the same boat as many others), I am curious about what it is.

Given that I have been advocating for a MM lynch for some time now, and that I am the player you think the most likely to be scum (since you're voting for me), I find it weird that you would switch to MM "if needed". Let's pretend I am scum. Do you really think a scum 1st pick is likely to be scum? If I am scum, chances are MM isn't, because if she was, I would probably not be voting for her anymore (and I know I said I considered switching to you, but the point is, I didn't yet. And now that I can't back down, I won't). It looks like you're looking to get more reasons to lynch me later on if you can't now. Now, I don't claim to know whether MM is town, but let's say she is and Hotshot is scum (and therefore knows it). Wouldn't it make perfect sense to switch to MM if he can't get enough votes to lynch me so he gets more arguments against me later on?
Now, maybe he wants to see MM's role to have a better idea whether I'm scum or town, but the point is, since I'm his primary target, MM should be more likely to be town than others, in his mind (again, considering he thinks I am scum or likely to be), so that seems scummy.
So now, I'll unFOS thor (but I still got my eye on him, partly because he's mildly entertaining with all the dumb things he says) and FOS Hotshot (because of the submarining and the maybe switching to MM bit) Call it OMGUS all you want, I would still do it if he was voting someone else and considering switching to that person's first scum pick.
dakky21 wrote:Thor... it's D1 so I don't see the purpose of talking about mechanics... I talked about mechanics in previous games but what that brings? Just more of not needed posts with nothing said, just posts to be posted. I mean giving scum a chance to post while saying nothing and in the same time not being inactive.
On the other hand, you did post your thoughts on people, which is encouraging... but your question about VT's looks to me as an attempt (I may be still influenced by Mass Effect mafia) to see who can you recruit and who you can not... (and I'm talking about mechanics, lol yeah.).. So my best guess is you're the 3rd party this game, either a cult leader or a jester or something else.
Thorthoth wrote:I asked all players to give me their thoughts on how Pika would have special information on Day 1, as he claims... and what that information might be.
Check out the reply I got from dakky. First he ignores the question, and redirects by saying it has no purpose. ...No purpose?!
Then he tries to punish me for asking, by pulling out a bs idea that I'm a third party cult/jester/whatever.
So is Dakky trying to protect PIka? Is Pika's secret information story just a stupid lie? Can anyone give a rational explanation for PIka having secret information on Day 1?
FOS @ dakky and Pika.
Pikanchion wrote:Now another thing to mention is that I have said that this information could potentially be harmful to town under the right circumstances, so what makes you think it's a good idea that everybody begins wildly speculating about it? Every question you've asked recently seems almost deliberately scummy, why are you now suprised of the Jester accusations? For the record I doubt we have a Jester, and am somewhat doubtful we even have any third parties, but that's besides the point.

Smaug wasn't a friend to anyone, and Gollum only cared about himself and the ring. I would rather not fall into believing that we don't have SOME sort of third party present in a large game like this, when it also can fit thematically.

Town, on the other hand, would find his claim useful to help get a better comfort level that he actually is what he claims (based on absence/presence of counter-claim and likelihood that the character he names is in this game).

My fear with this is as I said earlier, we have to think Thorthoth is scum for a claim to be helpful, if you truly believe Thorthoth is actually a VT it's better for them not to do so. I'm currently on the fence about this despite my vote, but currently I'm not sure I have a better candidate to vote for either.

I'm just going to throw this out there to every other player here, but posts like this (and the last page in general really) are really starting to look like a targeted attack rather than a genuine attempt to pressure a player. Especially as Ragian is just trying to draft active voters into the bandwagon, rather than actually thinking up another reason besides my apparent lack of beneficial posts to question me on.
You say I've not been scumhunting. How do you know this itself isn't, eh?
Skoffin wrote:[color=#FF0000]I'm baffled as to why Ragoo seems particularly convinced that his lynch is the right one; no one else here shares his conviction on their suspects and he hasn't given that good an explanation to begin with. If Masket claims Bilbo I'll be pretty convinced that Ragoo is Gollum wanting his ring back.
