Even though you don't think he's scummy, you voted him to tie the vote count?  That's not a town friendly move.  If you don't think he's scum, why aren't you moving on to the next target?

I said it was obviously scummy. Don't you find Vector's random character assassination and attempt to start a bandwagon scummy?

I'll vote to even the scores a little, although if you were actually scum you'd probably be less obvious about it.

Of all the roles, I think the Doctor is probably most influencial to the game's outcome. Cop seems like it wouldn't be much use to the Town side, outside of affecting the judgement of the Townie that gets it. Roleblocker and Godfather seem very niche.

Vector; So, you managed to get 'bad learner', 'inactive', 'will need replacing', 'arrogant', 'naive' and 'refuses advice' from Magwebster's two short posts? And then you bandwagoned him..?

I comment on anything I see that looks even a little suspicious.  Thus my tendency towards walls of text.  In this case, it's a weak attack because it's weak evidence.

I have seen the behavior I described in games before--heck, I've used it myself a few times--but I'm leaning against it being the case this time.

Jokerman:  You're doing a great job of lurking, with your two whole posts.  You said we should try something else, and said you didn't like a no lynch, but you didn't suggest any alternatives.  Why don't you actually contribute instead of standing in the background?

Holy Hell, Toaster, how hard can it be? I don't like a no-lynch, therefore my suggestion is...LYNCH DURP DURP. I didn't realize I needed to spell that out for you. Were you expecting me to suggest a half-lynch?

Maybe the choice quotes of the event, though, came when Kotick talked about Activision’s developers; you know, the guys who actually make the stuff he gets so rich from. You’d think he’d have a bit of respect for them, right? Oh no, Kotick’s goal over the past 10 years has been – you couldn’t make this up – “to take all the fun out of making video games.” How? By instilling a culture of “scepticism, pessimism, and fear” amongst the company’s staff based around the economic depression and an incentive program that rewards “profit and nothing else”.

There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: Make the best quality of goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.

And I don't think it's necessarily the case in this game because it's a closed setup, but IMO most of the time if someone asks a question about a scum role (especially if not directed at the mod), than they're usually trying to hide something.
