That's called bandwagoning, and it can be used as a scumtell.

Yeah, and you were lamenting about something that hasn't yet occurred. All I'm saying is that you should have expected that when you took the helm of putting quaking up for lynch.
As for bbninjas, you yourself already put up a supporting argument to the contrary on post 412. And I happen to agree with it. Ultimately, yes, it's all up to bbninjas though.
How is that a scumtell?
Don't scum usually hop on bandwagons?
I read it as scum setting up a situation tomorrow where they can get up in my grill, should quaking flip town. Could be wrong, depends on quaking's flip. It seems strange to me that you would mention the possibility of having to attack me tomorrow if you're town today.
And the result doesn't matter so much as the actual content of the case. Town can act scummily, and this leads to town making mistakes.
So do town.
What Celever said. So please explain how this is scum hopping onto a bandwagon not a town hopping onto a bandwagon.
I said it could be used as a scumtell, not that it always is used as a scumtell. Sometimes townies can hop on bandwagons too, but in my games, scum hop on wagons more commonly and consistantly.
So since you looking out for anything that is scummy, you are tunneling?
That sounds like a unnecessarily complex conspiracy theory. Why do you think only scum would get up on your grill if quaking does flip town? You mean that town won't suspect and "attack" you?
Do not forget that this is only a possible plan, it's not a definite course of action. Also, you're only looking at the explicitly stated one possibility in the quote, but not the implied inverse.
This is the one I first said: "Depending on his flip, we get some ammo against Jesi (whom I still do not find trustworthy for reasons I've stated in my previous post) and Celever tomorrow."
The assumption that quaking will flip town is given focus here, and if indeed he does, then you'll be under scrutiny. I wonder why you'd find that unusual. Isn't that how Day usually starts off? You know, looking at the previous Day's flip and analyzing the people involved in the lynch?
But fine, let's switch the stated and implied scenario. It would go like this:
"Depending on his flip, we get some high possibility of Celever being town."
In this case, it's focusing more on the assumption quaking will flip scum, which would of course get you townie points. But it doesn't mean that the possibility of quaking flipping otherwise is dismissed, it just isn't stated. But yeah, this sounds much more positive and pleasing to your ears, isn't it?
But the thought/idea is still the same: depending on his (quaking's) flip, I will have some questions for you. If I said it like the latter, would you still be calling it an attack and react negatively to it like you have just done? I'd think not. Let's just chalk this up to overreaction.
I would react similarly. I say it every game, but don't over-analyse a Day 1 lynch. Town have nothing to go on in the current game state, so basically whatever lynch sticks is usually just making the best of a bad situation. I think that the case on quaking is very good, especially for Day 1 standards, because he tripped over himself so many times, and the voting patterns of the other players don't look scum-organised. However, giving me loads of townie points for the lynch is dangerous. Remember PMJ's play at the start of Reign of Terror? These manoeuvres aren't super rare.
Not that I'll reject the townie points, but I do feel like this site has a habit of over-analysing fairly minor periods of the game. None of the conclusions drawn from Day 1 should really be relevant on Day 4 or 5, though you can try to use it in your analysis of trends. Voting patterns are the only noteworthy thing.
And it still seems weird to me for you to prepare a line of attack for tomorrow. What was your thought process behind putting that line in your post?
It's not so much over-analyzing as it is one of the few viable things to analyze on Day 1. If not that, then there's almost nothing left to take from a Day 1 lynch to use later on. Voting patterns have use but it's not always going to give a solid lead.
You having lots of townie points doesn't necessarily confirm you town. It only alters the possibility, making you highly likely to be town. But the possibility of you being scum will not be 0. I have a points system in place for this, and I never equate lots of townie points = confirmed town, so you can rest those worries.
Sigh... You're really not going to let that drop, are you? Okay, so you really aren't going to accept it as just a what if scenario (isn't that what using the statement "depending on... etc." implies)? And even then, why does it bother you? I mean, if you're as confident as I first said, even if you do get "attacked", then you should have no problem escaping it with logic and proof.
##unvote PikaMasterJesi
From the first pages i read quakingpunch is now the suspect? I am still reading the rest of the pages.

Yeah, quaking is the suspect now. How long will it take you to finish reading?
The reading part itself will take about 20 minutes. Now at page 13. But I have to eat first so in about an hour I can finally post again.
Alright, awesome. Looking forward to it
In the quote above you could do math. So that is obviously lying or am I wrong and can't i do math?
This could be a card effect.
I made a superlong post (for me) but i noticed a lot of people already said the things I wanted to say, and I don't understand the part where camo jumps in and votes Jesi. Can someone explain that? Ouch, my head hurts from all the thinking.
Post it anyway!
I think that was because I assumed RVS was over, and if it wasn't that, it was because I posted fluff with a pencil sketch of character art.
