getdamonkey Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Jordan for one. But Timothy and Isaac seem quiet as well. I'm not sure who's quiet and who isn't matters. It's unlikely that more than half our number is scum since it would make this a really fast and really boring game. If Timothy and Isaac are scum, they're not trying to steer accusations which have hit almost everyone which means they're not particularly good at being scum. The long run of the strategy of being silent has pretty low odds of success if they aren't close to a majority. If our scum are quality scum, they are more than likely trying to steer the current conversation which means the current talkers (myself included) are most likely who we need to worry about.
Calanon Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Jordan for one. But Timothy and Isaac seem quiet as well. I have not been that quiet, I have contributed a fair few times.
jluck Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 If you think I'm the vigilante, then WHY ON EARTH say it out loud? I'm not the vigilante, but if I was I would be utterly ballistic at you for giving the scum ideas. There's a thing called a PM, you know. You can just say in PM, "Emily I think you might be the vig" rather than blurting it out for scum to see. Well Willie, you are the first person to actually voice a legitimate suspicion of someone (scumhunt). Nice work. Jordan for one. But Timothy and Isaac seem quiet as well. Melinda, Willie, Greg and Adam, I see you are reading the thread. Care to comment? I can certainly see Willie's suspicions, he's quite observant. Unfortunately, it's difficult to judge the quiet ones because were so early in. With so little to go on I don't know if I should watch the quiet or the loud ones one thing's for sure, they need to join in the conversation soon!
Dragonfire Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Jeff, if more than half of us were scum, scum would have already won. Judging by the number of players, there are probably about three scum. And how would scum be steering the conversation? We've barely started discussing the game. Timothy, I was just saying that you haven't commented for a while.
Tohst Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 If our scum are quality scum, they are more than likely trying to steer the current conversation which means the current talkers (myself included) are most likely who we need to worry about. Gotta disagree, and not just because I'm participating. We need data and while lack of data is itself data, participatory data is better data. By saying people who participate are more likely to be scum, that discourages participation and lets the scum, who do know each other and can communicate, organize and pick us off while we're silent. But its an interesting take on the quiet folk.
-Horizon- Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 -Yawns- "Hey guys all this stuff about murder is depressing me I'm going to play SpaceCraft." -Pulls out SpacePad, and starts to play Spacecraft Mobile.-
Dragonfire Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 I also can see Willie's point on Melinda, but I don't necessarily think it's a scum-tell. And players' scumplay differs; scum can't be put in one category (eg. quiet people). Everyone, especially newbs like us, has a unique scumgame. I've read and played in many a game on other forums where people who lurk are voted and pressured to get them to speak up. I've never heard of people being suspected because they're talkative. I have heard of lurker lynches though. Way to deviate from the conversation, Warren.

-Horizon- Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Hey! This is a serious situation, stop messing around. *smacks you on the back of your head* -Puts SpacePad up, and pulls out a package of gum.- "Hey Tim, want some Gum?"
Calanon Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 -Puts SpacePad up, and pulls out a package of gum.- "Hey Tim, want some Gum?" No, thank you. I am not in the mood.
-Horizon- Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 No, thank you. I am not in the mood. "Sure thing, So anyone else want some?"
Tohst Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 "Sure thing, So anyone else want some?" Ummm....no thanks.

You can just say in PM, "Emily I think you might be the vig" rather than blurting it out for scum to see. Hmm, blatantly stating, "I'm not the vigilante," is, some might say, a rather scummy thing to do. I honestly don't know who to vote for, although Melinda's sudden turn to the bandwagon does seem... suspicious.
-Horizon- Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Eh, no thanks. "Ok" -Puts gum pack back into pocket, and starts to whistle "Everything is Awesome"-
Lady K Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Warren, for someone who is supposed to be in command school you are being very un -command like with the games and gum. Jordon is still being quiet for someone in security school. This is an awkward situation as we have to vote for someone in the next 24 hrs, and there's little evidence and a lot of speculation! Oh, and the killers(s) are still with us!
-Horizon- Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Warren, for someone who is supposed to be in command school you are being very un -command like with the games and gum. "Whats wrong with games and Gum? We're going to be stuck here awhile anyway, and all this accusing and talking about murders is really depressing. So might as well do not-depressing stuff. How about we practice Targeting? We can use cups for targets." -Pulls out Cannon-

-Horizon- Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Seriously ?! Target practice? Are you asking me to vote for you? Not Really.... Just Conversation has slowed and I'm trying to start it back up with something not depressing....
Lady K Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Ok, fine. That's good. How bout you quiz me or I quiz you for up coming tests? At least we will be studying, not depressing, and getting our minds off the poor Admiral, who body is still laying there incedently.

Command school is exciting."
TheLazyChicken Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Sorry if I haven't talked a lot but some of us have work to do during the day and don't have time to log on every hour. I've read and played in many a game on other forums where people who lurk are voted and pressured to get them to speak up. I've never heard of people being suspected because they're talkative. I have heard of lurker lynches though. Excactly. On other forums I read, the person who talks a lot is sometimes scum. Right now I don't really know anyone who is acting scummy. I will keep my eyes open to see if anyone who seems talkative says something unusual...

Lady K Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 "Ok, So how is mechanics school going? Command school is exciting." Actually quite well. It will be even better when I learn something new. When is your big test? Right now I don't really know anyone who is acting scummy. I will keep my eyes open to see if anyone who seems talkative says something unusual... Too quiet, too talkative, too loud and wanting to kill scum......we are all new here, how are we supposed to define scummy?
