I see him as an possible pro-town player here. I really did like most of his posts, but I also didn't like his somewhat buddying on Cello Marl. I currently give him an town player read.The Paprika Killer said:@SSBF & tHe-Man, thoughts on mentos?
1. No way, if you paid attention I said I wanted to look back through the game a bit with Brockin as town, and that I was tired and going to sleep. Guess who just woke up?rapidly jump on Cello? I've been with Cello well before he was cleared. Just a heads up Mentos.
1) You still haven't said what you'd want to do.
2) You could have waited a day to decide and then post that
3) You jump straight at me even though I have said several times I'm backing Cello, before he was cleared no doubt. Cool paying attention.
4) You say that you like to give people your thought processes and yet you didn't list any pros/cons for each course of action.
5) Too wagon happy? Okay, so the first real vote on someone is too wagon-y for you. Sure man.
There are several reason why your shouldn't have posted that as town.
1) Any scum that were even thinking of pushing for another stumping are now aware that everyone paying attention will know it's mylo and that pushing for another will draw attention.
2) You're giving scum a map on what you're going to do
another interesting thing, you say you didn't have time to make up your mind, but you had enough time to write up that second post defending your actions and then added an 'attack' at me all in the time of 30 minutes.
I dunno man, seems like a pretty bad post to me.
To the first part, yeah, if we stump another two town it's lylo. Which means, unless we don't debate the stump much, we're left with an extremely shortened deadline to find a lynch candidate, or else we lose. There is no way with one standard deadline left we should debate and decide on TWO more stumps if the first one comes up town, because we will then be scrambling for a must be right lynch.Mentos, why even mentioning a lynch?
if we stump another TWO town it's 4 Vs 3.
not liking mentos at all
@mentos, who would be the 3-man scum team?
@SSBF & tHe-Man, thoughts on mentos?
@cello, still thinking the same about SSBF?
Because I'm town, and having a townie stump at this point would be REALLY bad for reasons already stated.I just felt like telling someone else to stump.
Why shouldn't you stump?
Here are my thoughtsMy tunneling was caused by your lack of cooperation. I was explicit about this very thing.
Regardless, what are your thoughts?
Looking back, I didn't find a single mention of 'The man' from you, but I'm assuming since you didn't mention him, that it just meant you felt he was town."(who I'm sure paprika felt he was town)"
source or don't mention it.
The opposite of parroting.What do you mean by not providing original case forward?
Pierre:SSBF,
This lynch information is only useful if properly interpreted. More importantly, this information is gained just as effectively by forcing a stump the following Day. Are you just not reading my rules, or what? Any and all hammers not sanctionedby meby the collective will of the Town after the three scum are lined up are a sure indicator of scum. Don't argue with this. Further, given the mechanics of this game (this is very important), we DO gain something from a No Lynch in the extraordinarily unlikely scenario you suggested; three random (at worst) extra lynches. (especially after Macman is adding seven extra days from a stumping [which really should not be the case; this game is impossible for scum to win now without serious, serious error on Town's behalf])
This disgusts me. You've been touting the merits of lynching for information, but you want to lynch inactives that would yield nothing in those terms? If you're going to be wrong, be consistently wrong. What about me or my three adversaries?
I'm calling a virtual vote count because...it's not a vote count. Macman isn't going to do them, so I am.
No...it can't. If he stumps himself, he's revealed as scum and is dead. There's no clear there. If you meant that it could be a ploy to make himself seem townie, then sure. But, that's true of anything.
Do you just repeat what more experienced players have said hoping that you'll say it at the right time? Voting for yourself in a normal game and/or getting yourself lynched is stupid. The very different nature of this game greatly skews the power balance in favor of Town. Not taking advantage of it would be ****ing stupid. You've spoken several times of information lynches. Wouldn't knowing Heatstroke or my alignment be...oh, I don't know... valuable information? Why do you not wish to know at least one of our alignments? In a normal game, with 9 v 3, we'd have two mislynches. Here, we have five misstumps. Three freely available information stumps. AND WE DON'T LOSE THEIR OPINIONS EITHER. Why why why why? Don't you want to know?
This would be useless. Until I see at least one of their flips, Pierre, Brockin, and Heatstroke are the scummiest to me. I need information that can gained by their deaths. If I am wrong, then I can reevaluate my opinions on everyone that isn't Summoner or Today. (I'm allowing for error on tHe-Man, take that as you will)
Actually, I could be persuaded to have you (SSBF) stump yourself. Mostly because of these sorts of sentiments...
What? Having a person stump is the same as lynching them. It garners the same information (by virtue of "votes" on them, and we get their flip), except that we get to keep them around to talk. DON'T FEAR THE STUMP. THINKING THIS WAY AND ACCEPTING IT IS WHY WE CAN ASSUME THAT PEOPLE THAT REFUSE TO STUMP ARE SCUM.
Also, what do you think about Today? You've said that you want to lynch Summoner for my support of him. But I think Today's slot is the towniest town to ever town a town.
No reasons, and those were at the top of everyone's scumdar anyway. The top 3 have already flipped town.Quick list of who I want stumpin: Heatstroke, Brockin, Cello, Pierre.
Scratch this sentence. I got confused for a second. But no, your arguments haven't been completely logical this game.Just reminds me a lot of your play in SSB mafia
Do you seriously think Marshy posted anything without knowing his alignment? The time it takes to read a role PM is much less then the time it takes to read 20 pages. (Or however many there were before he posted)I wonder if Marshy even knew what his alignment was? He came and went so fast, he didn't even...say goodbye. 88 lines about 88 scum.
Whatever, Cello. I think that's a dumb assumption, but make it if you wish....I think it's best if we assume he didn't, and don't give Nick town cred for it.
I'm a little confused. I thought Pierre was your #1 scum?Current scummy reads are Mentos (which makes me really sad), Nicholas and SSBF, in reverse order.
Ack, I didn't realize Pierre was so close to modkill territory. *sigh* It's the TMNT kirbyoshi of treestump.This should have been obvious, but until Pierre gets either replaced or modkilled, NO ONE STUMP THEMSELVES EVEN IF YOU HIT THE MAJORITY MARK. If he is town, and someone else gets stumped too (which would mean that person is town, because scum won't stump themselves), then his mod-death would mean we lose. Incidentally, it's this very point that turned me against Mentos, but I'll explain that tomorrow.
Interested to hear this explanation, seeing as how I haven't pushed another stump yet, AND stated that I wanted to hear from the inactives before we make a move, I'm not sure how this will lead to a case against me. Plus the fact that I've made it very clear I want to be careful since a townie death makes it mylo.I wonder if Marshy even knew what his alignment was? He came and went so fast, he didn't even...say goodbye. 88 lines about 88 scum.

1. Yes, the fact that it was against the rules was one of the reasons why Brockin did not want to post logs.mentosman8 said:I would also like to pose a question to SSBF: Before Brockin's stump, you were defending him saying he risked a modkill/it was against the rules/etc. Firstly, was that HIS reason for not posting the logs? If not, why defend him using a point that he hadn't made? Secondly, do you remember the rules initially had a "hydras are allowed to post their logs. Unfortunately there are no hydras in this game" rule?(I saw it quoted at some point, so despite being gone I know it's in the game somewhere that it existed. This rule was inadvertently left in, but also completely allowed hydra log posting. The overarching point is that prior to Brockin's stump, you were making a pretty strong argument in their favor, trying to nullify valid points against them, and it looked to me like trying to earn townie points.
Is that why you were pushing for him? (Rhetorical)Nick said:I'm a little confused. I thought Pierre was your #1 scum?
You're talking here as though you know Pierre is town.Nick said:Ack, I didn't realize Pierre was so close to modkill territory. *sigh* It's the TMNT kirbyoshi of treestump.
