Q for TFB: kak vs demon? Preference? Or not picky?

I prefer Kak and am open to Demon. Kak is really bad though to me given he has literally only made one real post (that one actual post was decent and I've credited him for it. And then he responds to my pressure with a "lol nah I'm not going to participate byeee" which really irritated me

Thank you for getting around to this, no sarcasm intended.

Clucking slowly intensifies around the barn

Pyxxy when are you going to grace us with your reads so far?

I don't know if I trust my own vibes enough yet to be willing to name anyone.

Although it seems like naming someone
1) doesn't really affect one's own reputation

1a) unless you get accused of sheeping
1ai) I had to look up what sheeping means
1aii) and even sheeping seems okay because the general strategy seems to be somewhat randomly applying pressure in funny ways to people, akin to having "good chat" on Love Island
1aiii) yes I also looked up Random Voting Stage

1b) unless you disappear afterwards and don't post again
1bi) except not really (cough, looks in a particular direction)
1bii) jk Celaph posted after the parent's day excuse

2) is fun

I was mildly interested in boatty mcboatface but I think he was just busy/offline. And he did finally get around to my question. And his answer about Kak makes sense/is verifiable (I also also looked by what ISO/iso means and figured out how to do it on the bot, v proud of myself rn).

My concern then, is, how often do people just vote out low posters and does low posting actually have a decent track record for finding scum? Or is it just a good way of creating "good chat" and generally gathering more D1 info for town to reference in the future?

Also maybe I missed this but can anyone somewhat confirm Demon's claim that there have been 1+ games lost to not sussing a sub enough?

low posters bad
high posters good

also low posters more often scum

"didn't sus sub enough" = excuse for being bad

yes yes?

[President Eden]

is rhk voting eden because of that cop cc thing

No, it was due to my belief that Eden is looking for easy targets rather than actual scum.

Also nice attempt at lowkey PR hunt

you never told me who these “actual scum” are or why the people I suspect are “easy targets.” who is your constructed ideal of town!Eden supposed to be hunting that I’m not?

and what part of me aggressively trying to stop what I think is a miskill on the lowest-hanging fruit of all looks to you like “looking for easy targets”?

[Jamiet99uk]

FaKe news, the Kouncil never intended to get rid of the rule.

There is no war in Basingstoke.

What? It was definitely removed. Did you make a mistake?

Yeah as we said last game lol, it was inadvertently left our when we updated the rules. I *think* it’s back in now?

Ohhh, ok. I missed that clarification. Thanks. Well certainly Bob is applying a "Must Vote" rule, which I'm fine with.

But "participation" has still been re-shaped to be an amorphous subjective concept rather than "you must post XX times per phase", yes?

[BusinessLamp]

We should vote someone out who is (in order of priority):
1. scummy
2. A cat person
3. Not likely to contribute
4. Not likely to be a nightkill priority
5. Covered in baby oil

Thoughts?

You believe that President Eden, who you are voting for, satisfies these criteria, yes?

hfdgndghjfdghfdg jamie!!

@President Eden are you a cat person or a snake person?

Chaqa he doesn't satisfy criteria #2, you should move your vote.

well I’m not scummy, a cat person, unlikely to contribute, or covered in baby oil…

1/5 ain’t bad…?

[Jamiet99uk]

Why is Ghug voting for Bozo?

Did he give any reason to scumread Bozo, like, at all?

Celaph does hit 3/4 of those criteria eyes emoji

[President Eden]

I can’t believe I missed Jamie adding “covered in baby oil” to that list

[BesharamSabi]

Why is being a cat person scummy? Can I policy kill cat haters? I love dogs and cats equally.

Would you consider voting for Chaqa?
He's quite scummy if you ask me.

to answer this with Council hat on, yes.

we found that too often people would be able to meet the (thin) participation standards and still not meaningfully play the game, which means the rule wasn’t doing its job. and we didn’t think that increasing the requirement was the solution, as not only is that likely to further inflate thread post counts (which are already astronomical frankly—I say, guilty of contributing to it), but also we just don’t think that participation is all that responsive to post counts.

not the clearest answer I know, but there you go.

[BesharamSabi]

Does Chaqa think his girlfriend is scummy? She has three cats. They both live together.

Kinda sus

the thought has crossed my mind, but I feel that given time I’ll be able to sort him out to my own satisfaction. he’s several names down my list of people I’d rather kill today. but not near the bottom

I cannot tell a lie.

She’s quite Sus.
