Newbie 617 (Over!)

[Darox]

caf19, Bazza-Scumfinder, mike-zim, and Qman have not posted since the game began.

But it was the weekend, so give them some leeway.

Votecount:

Brandi [2] (clammy, Armlx)
Mike-zim [1] (Brandi)
Clammy [1] (Angelmouse)

Not Voting [5] (Darox, caf19, Bazza-Scumfinder, Mike-zim, Qman)

[caf19]

caf19 is in fact here. I've got exams this week so I'll be fairly LA till Friday, but after that I'm free all the time so I'll contribute a lot more.

Nothing much to comment on so far. Brandi's eagerness is the most notable feature, but that isn't a tell either way really. Not too late for a non-serious vote, is it?

vote: Qman

for posting even less than me, ha.

[armlx]

So, where's everyone else?

USA holiday weekend.

[Brandi]

@caf19: Heck yes I'm eager! Is that so uncommon for newbies? I think that this is going to be a lot of fun! Wooooo~ ^___^

[clammy]

So, where's everyone else?

USA holiday weekend.

Ahh, see i don't know these things in simple Australia.

[Qman]

Just got home. Memorial day weekend is teh fun.

More when I'm functional

[caf19]

Indeed Brandi, this game should be fun I don't think I've played a newb game as a non-replacement before, so it's a slightly new experience for me as well.

We're still waiting on Bazza and mike, I believe.

[mike-zim]

Of course it was a sinister laugh. We live in the times of scum hunting. To be your enemy is to know your enemy.

anyhow from the posts i dont have a vote yet will wait to see how things unfold!!

[clammy]

Sounds a little indecisive to me? Not wanting to be seen to be to active there mike?

[mike-zim]

Active?

Why would i not want to look active? i thought the whole point was to be active? to try and sniff out the Mafia?

Give me pointers if you will as i am new at this.

[armlx]

I'm quite sure Mike-zim is town for now and probably tomorrow too.

[Darox]

Bazza and Qman still AWOL.

Unvote, Vote: Qman

Lets get this bandwagon rolling, maybe we might hear something from him.

[armlx]

Wrong play, let the mod sort it out in the case of people who just aren't posting unless they are active elsewhere on the site.

[Qman]

Bazza and Qman still AWOL.

Unvote, Vote: Qman

Lets get this bandwagon rolling, maybe we might hear something from him.

I posted a few before you. You already heard something.

[clammy]

So it's just Baz who's AWOL then?

Prod time?

[Darox]

Just got home. Memorial day weekend is teh fun.

More when I'm functional

Sorry, forgot that.
However, you didn't exactly say much in that post, so it wasn't totally unjustified.

I think prodding Bazza is a good idea.

[Qman]

most poeple haven't said much, but i grant you the point.

[mike-zim]

Well i still cant see anyone suspicious. Damn it

How do you detect who is who?

FOS Clammy

very quick to make me look bad. but i am not sure if you are scum will keep an eye on it!

Clammy didn't vote for you, and asked a perfectly acceptable question, and you started getting defensive, and continue to do so after the incident had passed.

I'm not saying your scum, you could just be a jumpy townie, but I'll be watching.

Wrong play, let the mod sort it out in the case of people who just aren't posting unless they are active elsewhere on the site.

I had no intention of getting Qman even as far as -2, I wanted to see if I could get a rise out of him and spark some discussion.

[clammy]

I see that FOS mike, and considering nothing has happened here i'll raise you a risk taken.

Let's get some serious conversation happening, i'll declare my vote still to be on Brandi, this time less so for being a multi-cop and much'a'mora for seeking after the IC's in post 17, null tell, but so is knowing who they are.

[clammy]

ooo, multi-post!

Much as i'm tempted to tell you i don't think you're scum but i'll be keeping my eye on you to complete the nice little suspicion circle we've going on here, but you'd tell me if you were scum right, so i don't need to? ...right??

And your play on the lurker was flawed, but legitimate

[Brandi]

Bah! This inactivity makes me sad.

Well i still cant see anyone suspicious. Damn it

Maybe you should look at the mafia wiki to get a better general knowledge on how to hunt scum? I think there are some pretty helpful articles out there... Though I can't really point to anything specific at the moment. My brain is all fuzzy right now, I just woke up, heh. I'm just gonna go back to sleep...

Usually voting lurkers gets you a whole bunch of nothing. Either they are going to post or they aren't, and your vote isn't going to change that. In the latter case, the mod replaces them. Voting people who just aren't posting at all only serves to fuel pointless undefendable bandwagons.

I can also support a Brandi vote, but more for her opportunism in voting Mike Zim.

Unvote, Vote Brandi

[armlx]

EBWODP: The Unvote/Vote was to signify the change from a more or less random vote to an actual vote. My vote did not actually move.

[angelmouse]

I agree that voting for lurkers can be effective to pressure them to comment, but bandwaggoning someone to commentis another story.

@mike - I don't think we are at a point at all that we can be making concrete desions on who is who. If you are completely new to the site, may i sugesst reading the wiki and possibly some other newbie games to get a flavour of what happens.
