Well, right now we're looking for inactive players, since we're assuming that they're just not paying attention, right?

But if the scum were going through with my theory, we -ought- to be looking at active players. And if they kill someone off, we might think that they are paying attention, and then we could wise up to their plan which I outlined above.

But it all doesn't matter since you're lynching me anyway and then they win. D:<

rpg, just take your lynching without complaint. If you're really a townie then we'll make Fenris die next.

Aldurin · 08-15-2011, 02:23 PM

Oh yeah, poor move on your part to so quickly claim to be the towniest of townies possible in Homestuck.

That makes no sense at all. My lynching is -literally- the end of the game if you're wrong and a townie, and literally winning the game if the townies are wrong and you're a scum.

Only a scum would want a lynch target to just take it without complaint, since a townie ought tow ant to lynch the right person, especially when it's the last one that matters in the game.

Plus, if Fenris is scum, you'd be completely unable to lynch him next round, since the scum have the majority at that point.

Though, it might make sense for him to be scum and Sollux be a ruse, if he investigated me, found I was bulletproof, then did this bit, but that's incredibly convoluted and requires a lot of dumb luck to kill me, when he could just go for someone else in town, and then have the majority anyways, to lynch me next turn.

It makes no sense for Fenris to be scum, is what I'm saying, even if he's wrong. He'd have to go, "OKAY, SO, I'M GOING TO RANDOMLY CHOOSE THIS ABILITY THAT I HOPE THAT NO ONE HAS, MAKE UP PARAMETERS FOR IT, THEN USE IT TO SAY THAT ONE OF US IS NOT SCUM AND ONE OF US IS, WHEN WE KNOW THAT NO ONE WITH THIS ABILITY HAS DIED YET AND IT'S BEEN A TON OF VANILLAS, SO WE'VE GOT PRETTY MUCH A STACKED TEAM OF NON-VANILLA TOWNIES AGAINST THE SCUM NOW, ONE OF WHOM WOULD PROBABLY HAVE THIS ABILITY THAT I CHOSE RANDOMLY." It really makes no sense for him to be scum. On the other hand, it'd be great for scum to kill him, since they know he's a power role now, who can save others.

The only time the bandwagon hasn't happened was against P-Sleazy, as far as I can remember.

The bandwagon began against P-Sleazy, but I argued it away from him because it was 1) wrong and 2) stupid.

Well, we're going to lose tomorrow anyway, if what rpg said is true. He might as well confirm whether or not my machines work so we hit the right guy today.

I wouldn't call it a bandwagon on him. It was only three people, two of whom are dead (Or imminently deceased) townies. The third is Bard.

Thus the whole "began" bit and not the "succeeded" bit.

The exact number of scum has been dubious for quite a while, and only the scum would know how many there are. Your statement about the scum getting majority indicates that you know the exact number of scum which means you are one of them.

Thanks for the confession.
