jimmynick Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Given all the babbling yew trees are doing, I figured I'd comment on the only piece of gameplay so far. One of the main mistakes I've seen in my games is the town underestimating scum numbers. 4 is too small in a game this size, imo. Maybe, MAYBE, 5 and a 3rd party, but definitely not 4. These early assumptions can be a bit...shady. Yeah, I thought with 25 players we'd more than likely have 6 scum. We might have to pun-ish Buck Poplar for getting serious so soon. Count on me to post twice... oops.
Scubacarrot Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Why is one tree telling another tree that I am Maple-y? Or why is this one tree lying to me that another tree that I am Maple-y? What even constitutes as Maple-y? Why would a tree that has been told by another tree that a third tree is maple-y contact said third tree? Drama. I love it.
Hinckley Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Surely you mean Garden Variety Oak... Why would he need to mean garden variety?
JackJonespaw Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Yeah, I thought with 25 players we'd more than likely have 6 scum. We might have to pun-ish Buck Poplar for getting serious so soon. Is it possible for 6 Maps and a third party tree? That'd but it at 7 non-Oaks, which is possible, but not really normal. But then again, we are all making tree puns, so I'd say that this whole game isn't normal. Or maybe there are only "tree" Maples! Haha. Ah...I'm running out of puns.

Sounds like you're sure having a lot of sun! I don't know the answer to any of those questions, but they sure sound weird! Those trees all sound like they're up to some crazy stuff, maybe some shady maple-y stuff or some confused oaky stuff, I dunno, definitely not in the sun though, being so shady and all! And by sun, I meant "fun" of course! Whizz bang, Nash is my name! That's a little pun for you all! Fun and sun rhyme, see!

Sounds like you're sure having a lot of sun! I don't know the answer to any of those questions, but they sure sound weird! I know some of the answers! Because I'm the one who contacted him. Not sure it's worth bringing out into the Sun yet, but someone did PM me after one page of posts and mentioned they thought William was Scummy but not "blatantly" so. It could be weird, but it could also be typical. I thought it was worth mentioning to William and so I did. Then another old tree friend contacted me as well and also asked my opinion of William. Now I've been a tree before in other lives and so people like to contact me and William's been a dick and people like to suspect him, so I'm not sure it means anything but it is interesting.
Zepher Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 It sure is! I wonder why they felt the need to accuse Willy in the quiet areas of the forest considering that we'll be hacking down a tree later today. Sounds like some small scared trees to me! Why not play out in the sun like the rest of us, especially since it's such a sunny and fresh and first day...?

Why not play out in the sun like the rest of us, especially since it's such a sunny and fresh and first day...? My initial thought is that one is excited I'm a tree again as I haven't been for a while and the other always contacts me on Day One when we are trees and no matter what side they are on, has to contact me Day One. So, it really means nothing. One person simply asked if William had changed their gameplay at all in the last year? I suppose they mean, "Is he less of a dick?" For those who don't know, he has this reputation although I've always liked him. The other said he thought William was Scummy and this was right when this thread had reached the first post of page 2. There hasn't been any justification for this person's suspicion but they said they'd accuse him if he did anything "blatantly" Mapley. I don't get a strong read from any of this info as it could very well be quite typical of both of these people. At the request of William, the one who always contacts me on Day One has the name of Alejandro.
Scubacarrot Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I kind of want to do something blatantly Maple-y now. Is that weird?
StickFig Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Good morning, you people not on the wrong side of the world! Why not play out in the sun like the rest of us, especially since it's such a sunny and fresh and first day...? Well, I'm sure that's fine and good, but I would definitely like to say (but not defiantly) that anyone who doesn't PM me in a speedy manner must be a maple!
Zepher Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I wonder what that second tree considers "blatantly" maple-y as opposed to "subtly" maple-y?
Scubacarrot Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I wonder what that second tree considers "blatantly" maple-y as opposed to "subtly" maple-y? Maple flavored pancakes with and without extra maple syrup.
Hinckley Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Maple flavored pancakes with and without extra maple syrup. I only put yogurt on my pancakes anyway... Surely you mean Garden Variety Oak... Does this bug anybody else??
TheLazyChicken Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Well, if we follow the 1-3 (scum to town) ratio, we could have 8 maples, but that might be too much, but it could be a possibility right?
Lady K Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Good morning, you people not on the wrong side of the world! Well, I'm sure that's fine and good, but I would definitely like to say (but not defiantly) that anyone who doesn't PM me in a speedy manner must be a maple! Now this is definitely funny!
TheLazyChicken Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I only put yogurt on my pancakes anyway... At least I'm not the only one...

Tamamono Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I think we're all overthinking the structure debate here. What does it matter if there's 5, 6, or 74 maples? Let's get rid of all of them. I understand the need to talk about issue related topics but this only lets scum hide and look helpful. :thumb down:
Piratedave84 Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 So.many.puns I find it weird that someone would want to accuse/scrutinize William this early and that this was done in private. Don't get me wrong I'm no fan of William, as are many others, but it seems to me that someone is looking to get a feel for a lynch of someone they feel could easily be bandwagon-ed on day one based on previous experiences; no?
Scubacarrot Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Don't get me wrong I'm no fan of William, as are many others, Rude.

Just wanted to be sure if that was possible, but if there is 74 maples, wouldn't that make you one too?
Scubacarrot Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Why you gotta be so root? Don't you I'm Willow too. Add a know. I think we're all overthinking the structure debate here.

I love stretched reasoning. It's pretty good.
Scubacarrot Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 You know it's true! I do now. Denial was one of my strengths. Thanks for taking that away from me. And then call me a dick. Pf.

And not being a fan of William could be all these two were really saying. Suspicion revolving around him on Day One really is less of a surprise than all of the "Do we have 3 maples? 12? Is there a serial killer?" posts we are sifting through. Oh, ok, thanks. Just wanted to be sure if that was possible, but if there is 74 maples, wouldn't that make you one too? I like this post.
