I told you before hand how I intend to interpret the results in order to avoid the accusation that I'll make post-hoc rationalizations. I involve an RNG to further remove my own bias from the process. I can discuss this if you'd like.
But... why remove the bias? You won't find scum randomly. You find scum by looking at how people are acting and how they interact with others, all of which affect your bias, which is a good thing. Especially for someone who hasn't played here before, and has very little player bias.

Posting from mobile is ass. I'll be far more detailed in a few hours with a keyboard.
One of the few things that you've said today that is universally agreed upon

To answer both Deku and Sooshi, the whole idea is to create a system which is *hard for scum to control* and therefore reasonably safe to participate in. I *get* the fear of being led by scum, certainly... But I honestly feel that a very good way to deal with that issue is to let random processes, pre-set rules, and mass consensus guide my actions. These are things that scum has a hard time controlling.

Look, what I'm really doing here? Asking questions and responding to answers. Same as gumball. I'm not sure where leading comes in. By making myself beholden to pre-set rules and to other players I actually have the *least* freedom of anyone here.

I guess you could say that I'm trying to make myself look "in control" by setting up a system, but the system is for me. None of you need to follow along with the final result.

Coming from the same person who was trying to tell us how to play earlier on during this very game day. KEK

Mido, what do you think of Dekunut?

Deku, would lynching you have the same effect as lynching Mido? Every thing considered, would the results be the exact same?

4) Know that in 12 hours the list will be finalized, and I will use the Orokos Campaign page you have confirmed to select a lynch target from the names remaining on the list. As this target should be acceptable to the majority of players by construction, I will expect most undecided players to join me on the wagon. If you are opposed to do so I suggest you identify you opposition *before* the final selection is made. I will consider opposition post-selection to be a scum-tell.

My votes will follow in the next post.

And you were saying?

"I will expect most undecided players to join me on the wagon"

And I did, prior to the opposition I received. This is not me telling you how to play, it's simply a reflection of my own experience. Every other time I've seen this or similar strategies employed the wagon afterwards had momentum. I no longer have that expectation.

"I will consider opposition post-selection to be a scum-tell"

If you you make a list of "people you won't vote for" and then later refuse to vote for someone *not* on that list, you've failed to be completely honest with the town. That's a scum tell. The entire system is a farce if I don't hold to this kind of thing.

But that aside, are you suggesting that the very idea of listing out scum-tells is somehow "telling the town what to do" and therefore problematic? Because if that's the case the game is going to be damn near impossible to play >>

Anyway, got home, gonna eat and then execute. I have keyboard access.
