You're keeping me busy. Good. I'll keep you guys busy, too. They don't call me a catalyst for nothing.

@farside as well...
I try to always explain my vote. It's almost as if you guys would have preferred naked vote, which is just not my style.
Setup speculation is a dumb timewaster that people do to look busy. And I find that paranoia increases as the game goes on not decreases. That's my personal experience, maybe some other folks are different.
You hardly explained your vote, either. Any average player can look at a post and say "HRMM, setup specualtion, he's using FoSs, he's throwing paranoia around.... I don't like, so ya vote him!" No, stop using lazy generalities. You're playing Town-Wake this game, and he's hungry to get down to the very bones of the matter. No explain to me in no uncertain details EXACTLY WHY you voted for me. The more details the better. Otherwise you just come off as lazy Town or opportunistic Scum. And Setup spec isn't dumb at all when there's valid questions as to what the heck we're playing in. Wait a minute—since when is setup speculation Scummy? Never argued either way that paranoia increases or decreases as the game progresses, so tell us why you felt you needed to bring it up—my sole contention on that front was that Day 1 was pretty much nothing but paranoia and speculation. So voting me for being paranoid and speculating during Day 1 is bogus, because we have no workable information until Day 2. Indeed some other folks are different.

This feels tacked on and unnecessary added comments to justify a vote.
Gut call.
That's what I was thinking, too. He's going down on my list a bit. Not sure about you just yet.

Missed this post, why did you change vote, was it because he FoSed you?
See? Another good question as a result of my post.
Maybe I have the terminology wrong, but I made that intro post in order to get a lot of different reactions to gauge, measure, weigh, and respond to. If it's not a reaction test, then it's doing something to stir a wave of reactions to analyze and use.

How will you moving your vote somewhere useful affect your reaction test? And please respond to the rest of my post
Wait, what? What are you trying to say here? As for the rest of your post you're insinuating I'm not responding to, please quote and bold it here for me to respond to. Your first sentence I just quoted doesn't seem to mesh with the bit of my post you just quoted.

Reaction testing sort of loses its effect when you tell people what you're doing.
Not when you keep drawing out waves of subsequent reactions.
Apart from the fact that scum know what you're doing so can adjust their reactions appropriately to look like town.
Scum's not nearly as clever as they think they are, friend. Should they adjust their reactions, there's always that chance that it gets noticed and noted for the future.

Scum, if you want a quicklynch, run up reinoe.
You had better damn well tell us what those obvious reasons are, Aegor. I KNOW YOU'RE CLEVER, SO BACK THAT UP.
Also, what do you mean by telling Scum if they want a quicklynch they should run up reinoe? You and he could very well be scum partners, too, so pardon me if I take that with a cynical grain of salt.

So you think wakes comments there after is scummy....why?
Indeed. If you're Town, I'd like to see you put more "oomph" into your subtly-indignant Townish inquisition. If you're Scum-Farside you're going to have to be more believable than that, yes?

Responses to wake88:
No, I'm not an alt. Also, I'd like someone to answer this for me, I really don't understand how asking someone "are you scum," is supposed to get an answer worth anything. I guess, theoretically, someone's choice of words could be different, depending, but you'd have to know that person somewhat well for that to mean anything. I've never understood why people would ask that, so if anyone could explain that to me, please do.
Also, I'm confused why you would admit what you're doing is a reaction test. Shouldn't you, you know, keep testing for a while? Getting scared, fearful for your life maybe, after getting a few votes?
@TheAdrienC
You think starting a bandwagon by page 2 is excessive, but yet you join in on one on page 3. What's the big difference between the two pages that's so important? Also, how are we supposed to "get more info before the hammer," if you're voting him? Shouldn't you want to pressure other people so, oh, I don't know, other people talk and contribute, and potentially scumslip?
Along with
farside22
, I agree also felt reinoe's explanation for their vote on wake88's vote was forced, but I believe them for now when they say they just wanted to explain why. I wouldn't want to just vote someone without explaining, either.
@Aegor
Why do you think scum would vote reinoe if they wanted a quicklynch? They don't have a single vote against them, as far as I can tell. I would think scum would moreso want to join in on the wake88 wagon, if he's town.
Ah. Finally something particularly interesting.
All alts say they're not alts. Don't sweat it.
Also what does that part have to do with anything? The "are you Scum?" bit. It's a way to directly get a response. Unfortunately Mafias players nowadays are lazy, and don't want to answer most questions. I need a different beam gun for those fuckers. Anyways, I've seen other players in the past ask rhetorical questions like that, so, as with most things, I absorbed that particularly simple game tactic. Sentences 3 and 4 sounded just a wee bit too smooth. HRM...
The thing is, Alina, is that this "test" isn't over. I jolted the game with an incident, and am still gathering valuable responses. Chain reaction, yeah? Technically this test isn't over, and is still going as long as I want it to. Or maybe that's just called playing Mafia. ... Shut up.
I approve your questions directed towards TheAdrienC and Aegor. However I'd like to see you put more mental energy into your questions. Come on now; I know you've got more energy laying around somewhere.
AND... damn it. Too many posts. I'm only up to
88. I've got energy to burn, so please be
patient
with me.
