Please do tell us what the bug was. It's convenient to keep spoiler and scum boards on this forum, but there's obviously always a chance for problems.

Please do tell us what the bug was. It's convenient to keep spoiler and scum boards on this forum, but there's obviously always a chance for problems. Unfortunately, the bug pretty much prevents anyone from keeping hidden boards here without giving the game away. The problem is that the post count for a member gives the number of available, non-hidden, posts a member has. A search for X number of posts will return the last hidden and non-hidden X posts from a user. It will then only display the non-hidden posts to the searcher. So searching for 36 posts for cathi was returning a lot less than 36 posts in my search and only going back as far as Day 5. Increasing the number of posts requested gives more posts back, although if you get it right, you could increase the number of posts you are searching for and not have any more be shown as they are hidden. The flipside is also true. If you search for X number of posts of a player over a couple of Days and you get them all back, you can pretty much confirm they are not posting to a hidden board . ie. TOWN. I only noticed it because they were new players and did not have 100 posts which is the usual cutoff limit for the search. Ho hum.

Evidence of absence... That's a huge problem. I guess it's back to running separate boards, then.

WOW, now THIS is very interesting:
For some reason, unknown to me, the last doctor (Archangel) wants to protect GUIRI toNight, of all people. No freaking idea WHY she wants to do this (as Guiri is just vanilla town) and why she'd want to risk the scum trying to kill her or Hal....
...but it turns out that it will work out GREAT....because the scum want to kill Jrlrinmke and Guiri. They suspect 3 or 4 people of being the doctor (Archangel among them)..so when they try to hit Guiri and find out they were blocked, who knows what they'll think? Probably the Guiri IS a doc and self-protected last Night.

Have you got a link to the scum board, I would be curious to read them. I'm also amused by amykb noted me down as saying that skimming was a scum tell when it was to richbeckman. I also have spare boards if needed.

starrirain is the new guiri/BillMc AICM5P Evidently she's so good that she must be scum. ;D ;D I am amazed at the number of people who think that Amy, Rich, AND starrirain are scum! That's taking bussing to an extreme that I don't think I've seen before. It looks like scum's hopes are hanging on Colby now. I hope it's an advantage that he was town in his previous life. And I'll have to owe you the 5 pounds.

Yeah, been quite impressed by starrirain. If scum her tonight, then it looks bad on amy and colby. Cant believe they havent bumped Total off yet -she was sooo scummy from the start.

It will be a great play if Starirain manages to get out of the lynch today; but Amy will def be the lynch target tomorrow - and with Colby not sitting on the fence his scummitude is showing.
So what it Total is the only scum left?

Post by Idle Thoughts on Jul 22, 2012 12:53:05 GMT -5
I'm trying to find a sub for Total right now, she's the last inactive person. I've asked Hal if he wants to, so he might.
If not, I just have to wait until more Town are killed and hope they'll be okay with subbing in again.

Well, at least one of my final 3 picks is actually Scum...
My participation in this game frankly sucked.

I hope Town vote for amykb toDay, Star did such a lot of work on her and it would be a shame to see it wasted. Well done Starrirain!

amykb is good too, just look what she is doing toDay. I think Hal might find it difficult to play and Colby?? Well I never! I wouldn't have nailed him quite yet. The really great thing I found out in this game is "stop being passive and go out and find scum" and stop trying to be a people pleaser.

It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of people had seen it playing mafia, including myself, without realising what it meant. It was just this time around, I put together what the actual reason was.

I noticed the discrepancy in this game, but didn't put any time into trying to figure out why it was there...I just silently bitched about the board search functionality not 'working right' and made do

Maybe it's a good thing that we didn't all figure it out because then that would have meant even more subs and one of us could have accidently broken the game and I was having far too much fun to have wanted that to happen.

I wonder how much longer the game is going to go on for? Are we going to get a result or are the players going to give up first?

Idle went on vacation? They should've asked one of us to handle the game.

Idle went on vacation? They should've asked one of us to handle the game. It's a straight forward game and the players are getting pissed off, any one of you experienced player could have done EOD. It was supposed to be Tuesday and it's now Friday? Come on.
