Newbie 1488: Igloo-Town Tragedy (Game Over)

[fused_shadows]

Now, innocentvillager got a response out of fused_shadows which got randomidget to place the second vote on fused_shadows. It is a good enough reason that merits some poking into.
So, fused_shadows, how would you yourself respond to such a sarcastic response about being a villain that is destroying our homes?

<Prays for snow so that Igloos can be rebuilt>

Well, if I knew the person was being sarcastic (which I obviously was), then I would likely just ignore it. It's a type of comment that I've seen used by both Town and Mafia, so seeing someone else do it wouldn't really give me any reads on them.

I'm very intrigued by your research results, Billi. I wonder why innocentvillager would lie so blatantly like that.

[fused_shadows]

btw, you guys can call me Fused. It's shorter, and I like it.

[Randomnamechange]

interesting...

[Randomnamechange]

Question for yall.
You are about to vote for someone you have never heard of before. Why?

[Debonair Danny DiPietro]

Oi, to head off questions of this nature: I respond to nearly any variation of my name from the full thing to DDD, Danny to DDDP to "Hey, you" as long as I know that I'm the "Hey, you" you're referring to. As the IC, I'm here to answer questions and provide some order to the game while also playing the game. If you have some question not related directly to your role (those questions should be sent to Ser Arthur Dayne) feel free to ask them. It is much better to ask a question than to blunder and hurt the town accidentally.

Other than that, you get out of this game what you put in. So if you want to have fun, come in with a positive attitude, don't take any debate, arguments, or accusations personally and just pretend it's Pat Benetar and give it your best shot. I think experience is the best teacher and so unless otherwise prompted I'll be playing the game the same as the rest of you.

Sorry, won't seriously get to this game until tomorrow.

The VOTE: tags seem to be broken (at least for a fraction of the members on site - me included). Sad news. I would appreciate it if you guys bold your votes instead till the issue is fixed, but I won't begrudge it if you still use the tags (just makes my job harder).

As per this vote count and all the rest to come, point out any mistakes you see.

[Billi bilaði]

rd of be

Taking this as a rhetorical Q: A: Because of what that person has said.
Taking this as a literal Q: A: Whom am I about to vote for?

[Billi bilaði]

Oops. That quote came out wrong. The Q. in post 28 was: "You are about to vote for someone you have never heard of before. Why?".

[Billi bilaði]

BTW: I got the feeling, during the analyzing, that innocentvillager does get too many votes in games. That indicates a careful player to me. Defenately a one to watch out for.

OK. Now I'll start to preview before posting.

This should have been "...that innocentvillager

doesn't

get..."

[dawn_to_dusk]

You mean you aren't already suspicious of everyone as soon as you enter the door?

Am I playing this right?

[dawn_to_dusk]

Replace 'suspicious' with 'watch out for'. Still though, you need to watch your back the whole time or BAM! You get blindsided by night-kill

[dawn_to_dusk]

So... Eh... The question...

I don't know anyone in this game at all so I vote for someone I don't know because I am forced to vote to stay alive ^^

[Billi bilaði]

You mean you aren't already suspicious of everyone as soon as you enter the door?

Am I playing this right?

Nah, not actively suspicious. Let them speak first, I say.
Your posting, so that, I believe, is playing the game right.

[innocentvillager]

All right, guys, welcome to Mafia! So many RVS votes...

InnocentVillager, you say that it's usually scum that attacks you because of your name. That's an intriguing statement. Do you have any games to back that up?

Did a little digging:

innocentvillager:
Game 1 (1222 town):

Vincent2128 (town), vijay2vasandani (town)

Game 2 (1247 scum): (voted for lurking)
Game 3 (1249 town):

Shed (town)

Game 4 (1263 scum): (only voted after blocking)
Game 5 (1279 town): (not voted for name)
Game 6 (1281 town): (not voted for)
Game 7 (1376 town): (voted on play)
Game 8 (1375 scum):

Nachomamma8 (town) ? maybe a name vote

Game 9 (1396 town):

DoctorPepper (town)

Game 10 (open 509 town):

Thomas (scum)

NicolBolas, town, for reply)

In first 9 games (all newbies) he's voted 4 (maybe 5) times for his name. Every time by townies.
First in Game 10 (an Open one) is he voted for name from a mafioso.

Didn't have time to analyze further, so I second PrivateI's request for games to backup that statement.

Holy shit

You legitimately did this?

Well okay that's actually really interesting to me. Thanks for that

And honestly I don't remember every single game; I don't like go back to the beginning of all my games and go like "oh lulz, there's scum voting for me because of my name". The scum thing was a joke. I just recall people voting for me because of my name, that's all.

But kudos to you for doing that analysis

Also to the careful player thing lol I wish I didn't get voted that much. Actually it depends on whether I get provoked or not. Idk. My playstyle is weird and ever-changing. Look at my Newbie 1430 if you want to see a game where I was chillaxxxx as scum but also I can be methodical as scum and also chillaxxxxx as town.

[PrivateI]

VOTE: fused_shadows

Opportunistic scum alert.

I tell you it's usually scum that goes for my provocative name.

My primary problem is that this did not appear to be an RVS vote. To make a statement like that which is blatantly false rings scummy to me. For that reason,

VOTE: InnocentVillager

[Billi bilaði]

If you have some question not related directly to your role (those questions should be sent to Ser Arthur Dayne) feel free to ask them.

So, are you getting an idea about who you want to shoot at after nightfall?
An informative answer will certainly not hurt the town.

[Randomnamechange]

I don't like the way that innocent seems to be trying to gain towncred...

Vote Innocent

Please don't put him at L-1 because someone might not notice and waste 12 days of discussion.

[PrivateI]

I don't like the way that innocent seems to be trying to gain towncred...

Explain, please. What specifically makes you think he is trying to get towncred?

[fused_shadows]

Ser Arthur

:

V/LA for the next two or three days

[Randomnamechange]

The way that he says scum usually, lynch him...it just felt that he was implying that he is town, which would be an odd move as it made him stand out as a townie and an obvious NK if he was telling the truth.

[jklash12]

@randomidget- where did he say that scum usually lynch him?

Lawl what "blatantly false"?

Okay did you not just read my last quote

Do I really look into every single fricking game and check every time whether it was scum or town who voted me

No

Again if you'd have read you'd have realized it was an RVS vote

[innocentvillager]

which would be an odd move as it made him stand out as a townie and an obvious NK if he was telling the truth.

I honestly have no idea what this means. So acting townie is anti town because scum will just kill you? What?

And there was nothing town or anti-town about what I said. Seriously people need to get over this.

[Billi bilaði]

Now I would put you at L-1, innocent, if it wasn't way too early in the game.
Defenses with both guns blazing doesn't sit quite right with me.
