yes, though I dont see how thats relevant.

What is the longest stretch you've gone without getting a scum role? (the longest townie streak)

I know how to flip a penny a hundred times Adel.

What I'm getting at is whether Elias took an opportunity with ABR's comments about Elias crawling out of the woodwork. Its a perfectly acceptable response on the face of it, and may be completely innocent, but I cant help at wonder at the perception generated by it.
He says he was NK'd N1 3 games in a row. Usually (though not always), if you are NK'd it is going to be by scum. It meant that in 3 games, scum found him to be the biggest threat for one reason or another. Extrapolate on that and it means that Elias is probably a good player to keep around for scum hunting.
So following your Gambler's Fallacy, yes, he has proven to be town and apparently threatening to scum for 3 recent games, but that doesn't mean that he is town again in this game. I dont believe I've ever played with Elias, so I wonder (again) whether he is as subtle a player to casually influence town's desire to keep him around.

Why do you think you got NK'd those 3 games Elias, with 20/20 hindsight? Were your speculations close to the mark and they were forced to kill you, or was it because the general perception of you was that you were town? Or was it sheer dumb luck?

nah, nothing really to vote on IMHO.
Ecto has a Depeshe Mode quote in his sig... IRL that is enough for me to put machine oil in his coffee.
But how do you know it is Depesche Mode unless you're a closet listener. Case closed!

Only if he really looks like town. He's 5-5 as town, so if he's looking mediocre we can leave him alone.

A bald tire is rubber without the tread.

Are you still trying to insist that there was an OMGUS with this question?

I'll explain your vote:

You don't feel like reading, so to contribute to the game without the effort, you are going to put Coolbot at L-1 so he can claim and we can all decide to lynch him or not. Simon says.

Ectomancer · Post Post #186 (isolation #16) » Sun Apr 06, 2008 5:39 pm

Bah, he will only be at L-2. It sounded so much more dangerous and exciting before.

Ectomancer · Post Post #210 (isolation #17) » Tue Apr 08, 2008 3:18 pm

I gave a thought but the internet monster ate the reply.

What I asked was: Are the presence of vanilla roles in mafia considered a meta? Or would expecting a meta breaking mafia to include no vanilla's

itself

a meta? How about only 1 vanilla? Aren't there normally a few? Just how much breaking of the meta is going on here?
But how can you answer that question? How can I ask it without implying a power role myself? How can you dance when it is a crime to play the music? 7 hands yet rest on the bow. It needs but one more to draw it across the string.

the silent speaker wrote:CoolBot, since Surye is not now in imminent danger of lynch, why do you continue to insist that he claim?

Ecto, is there any reason to the CoolBot bandwagon besides "he wanted Surye to claim, let's see how he likes it"?

An interesting interpretation. I would phrase it more like "he wanted to force a claim after interest had died"
After that, it was interesting to watch how long he would sit at L-1.

So, let's see... short posts with relatively little content (sure, farside posted what could be considered analysis, but she's not taking a firm stand on anything)... ayup, that's a scumtell coming from you.

Ecto wagon isn't doing anything, while farside is under the radar. I think some pressure is in order.

Unvote, Vote: farside22
Do you see anything exciting in the game going on? I agree with Albert for once there really isn't much worth mentioning.

Cant listen anymore. Albert said nobody stands out, not nothing worth mentioning. Your comment sounds more like "lets not even bother talking".

vote farside22

@mod

- Why have you segregated poor Kison's vote? Cant he have his vote in the same place as the others? Why is he a second class voter?

Congrats, btw, farside.

You assume people bother clicking the links in your sigs. I for one don't. And it wasn't my comments that left a bad taste in her mouth (now

that[/]could be construed as both bad taste and distastful, if I meant it that way).

Anyhow, congrats on being a new Mother farside22. Lots of fun years to come. (Glad mine are teenagers now) It wont get you slack for your comment though. Albert did indeed say nobody stood out, it doesnt mean there are not events worth talking about. Your added comment was just a momentum killer type statement, and with a deadline looming in the not so distant future, its a scum style comment to me. I've rarely seen a town use good process in determining a lynch when pressed up against the deadline, and you seem determined to keep the conversation to a trickle until that point.
