I didn't actually know that - mylo isn't a term I was familiar with. Back in the day (3? years ago) it was assumed that you wouldn't no lynch, so lylo was used. Now that I think about it that lylo was a dumb thing to call it. Either way my point stands. Being at mylo is not a favourable position for town.wam wrote:Chicken Fish, if we mislynch today, we would be at mylo tomorrow rather than lylo. Fairly big difference! Also thats assuming that no one gets killed in all of the chaos tonight, it does also preclude the possiblity of one townine acting as vig.
FOS at chicken fish as he should know this, Also the vote on FAOT seems odd as FAOT strikes me as pretty townie.
I don't understand this logic from anybody. This early on, if Snark was hammered we'd pretty much conclusively have one scum, probably 2. Being timid with your voting at this doesn't help anybody but scum, as there's an opportunity for them to spread wine.wam wrote:Snark has been acting slightly scummy and I would be happy with a Snark lynch but will hold off voting so that we don't accidentally end the day quickly.
"We should only trade one or two items" isn't really a plan at all. Based on the items that are favourable for town to craft D1, they'd probably only need one or two trades anyway. Scum are the ones who'll be trying to power up superfast. Restricting trading actually makes it harder to catch scum, because excessive trading from early stages is a scum tell IMO.wam wrote:Trading mechanics

My plan effectively involves people waiting to put items up for sale (as these items are the only ones that can be traded) and then start trading for what you want. That way you can change plans based on what people are offering, and not have scum know you might not have crafted the item you wanted to. I hope that makes sense.
@Chickenfish:
1. I said I disliked your voting pattern (on-off-on), not your reasons for voting. You seem to have over-reacted to that quite badly.
2. Mislynch results in two deaths puts us at 5-3, that's mylo not lylo. Although it's typical to NL at mylo, I wouldn't suggest it in this game when an extra NK is entirely possible.
3. I hadn't declared myself leader, but I see no-one else jumping up to get things moving. I have no desire to get to 24 hours till deadline, with little discussion about who to lynch, no items traded and us being generally in a bad position. I have no wish to see the day end abruptly either which is why I suggested no-one else voted for Snark.
Your idea for player consensus is ok but it'll lead to very little trading. We struggled to decide amongst us whether trading is a good idea, and now we're struggling to decide how to trade. Everyone is going to know who is trading what with who anyway, so if players see a trade that looked suspicous, then vote for one of the players making the trade and give your reasoning why. If other people agree, that person will then be lynched.
Ninjaed: Putting a vote down is to encourage discussion, not cut it off. If someone has a better trading plan then they can vote no and propose that plan. My proposal is not set in stone either, it can be modified or changed if we feel the process can be made more efficiently in our favor.

This is a good point. It's also quite hard for scum to organise trading with one another this way, as if they put up a fake offer and reject a similar trade from someone else they'll get themselves in trouble.ForAllOfThis wrote:@wam: The reason that I suggested not requesting items, is because the items requested might not actually be on offer.

1. My voting pattern being on-off-on is completely in line with observations you agree with though. My first vote was semi-RVS, semi-put pressure on because I'd noticed scumminess. After I got as much as I could from that, I removed the vote. Then Snark was actually scummy (which you and others have also noticed), so I voted him. You're acting like me using my vote to put pressure on scummy players is scummy. I find it quite scummy of you. Hence the reaction.ForAllOfThis wrote:@Chickenfish:

Thank you for at least acknowledging my suggestion. I do think yours is better, but I also think we need to start looking more solidly for scum.ForAllOfThis wrote:Your idea for player consensus is ok but it'll lead to very little trading.

Every trading system conceals the other items one has. Unless you say "I have a chemical, and I need a scrap, and my other items are blah, blah, blah, and blah".
[quote="ForAllOfThis"First you wrongly criticise it for concealing trades so we cant see what is suspicous, now your criticising it for not concealing trades. Your leaving me very confused.
Chickenfish wrote:Snark I really don't think you're getting it. Where in FAOT's plan do people trade back and forth multiple times? And where did he claim it conceals trades? How does "I have x, and will trade for y" prevent scum from secretly trading with each other? Not that FAOT's does, but it's more refined and useful than your suggestion.
Also, do you think FAOT is scummy/towny because of his suggestions? If this isn't going through your mind, you're actively lurking.

That is a problem with all suggested systems! Im just saying town can't hide trades.
An Enraged Platypus wrote:I'm against trading whatsoever until we have a better feel for who is scum and who is not, on the basis that it seems geared towards equipping scum to kill rather than defending town. However, if we must trade early on then FAOT's plan seems the most reasonably enforceable pattern for fair trades/ minimisation of scams.

Your target takes 7 damage and if they are killed then all of their crafted items value higher then 4 are destroyed. All of their other items and materials are taken by the player who used the HKD. Using Psycho does not affect the damage of the HKD, and using the HKD does not prevent self mutilation of someone on psycho withdrawal.
Well then, care to provide anything?CaptainFinglass wrote:@Chickenfish - You bring up a good point. We're spending far more time talking about trading than we are scumhunting. The point of the game is to get scum, which we won't really figure out from only discussing how we're going to orchastrate trades.
At this rate, we're going to be arguing over trading for so long that when Night falls, we'll have only arguements about how we should trade (with, as far as I can see, the exception of CF and FOAT going at it) to go off of D2, and the scum are basically going to get a free NK, because we'll have been so busy trying to figure out trading that we neglected to try and scumhunt. In this regard, so far FOAT's strategy for trade is the best one I've seen, so I'd be content to go with that and move on to finding the scum.

By "this" do you mean the trading system, or have you reached True Enlightenment about deeper things here?
MILD SEGUE: still waiting on some actual analysis from you Cap'n.
