Open 577: Hope Plus One! (GAME OVER - SCUM WIN)

[Cane + Able]

@Everyone:

Let's be civil. If you're town, let's be civil and scum-hunt, not hunt after people we don't like and push them out of the game.

If you're scum, be civil and let us lynch you.

If only it were that simple.

But I'd be remiss to not include it in the off-chance that we have some unusually-compliant scum

[St Constantine the Hermit]

@RDR- Yes, you'll only solidify his stupidity as being correct. No.one.will.ever.agree.with.rudolfs.logic.
The only reason MD is picking sides is out of some stupid grudge he's carried over from the past.
Chill, and stop whining about it Mathdino. All of you. Hunt scum or piss off. Please. Thanks. Finally.

Scum only fake emotion, which is why neither MD or RDR are scum. Just dipshits voting me equally out of spite.
Oh wait, didn't they just criticize me for that

[St Constantine the Hermit]

What a distraction. That much noise is bound to draw even the most lurky of scum.

[Mathdino]

Don't fuel the fire, MathDino.

Rudy, you're voting someone I think has a 3/12 chance of being scum for playstyle. Anything I say to try to convince you that he's always like this (He's a VI, his meta is being a hypocrite) is going to 'fuel the fire'.
Again, just don't engage and get the votes off him.

Edit: For the love of god, I NEVER VOTED YOU, CONSTANTINE.

[Rudolph the Reindeer]

Unvote

[St Constantine the Hermit]

My god, thank you! Now explain why you think the interaction between Mathdino and NRG isn't "town vs town"

[Cane + Able]

My god, thank you!

Over one unvote?

It's a wonder you're not insta-lynched, the way you act.

[Mathdino]

I wouldn't have a problem with policy lynching him if we have problems getting a lynch before the deadline. I just don't like people making what are essentially policy votes and not owning up to it.

I'm kinda holding out hope that he'll just replace out like he said he would.

[St Constantine the Hermit]

I wasn't insta-lynched because I've played this game long enough to know how to get votes off me.
It was only made easier by how insanely stupid the previous one was.
I don't let a bad case on me go unnoticed, because if it stays there long enough, then people slip into the bullshit.

Vote Count 1.5
With 13 alive, it takes 7 to lynch

Searching for 3 replacements. :/

[Rudolph the Reindeer]

His overreactions are what was making me vote him in the first place. I find it unlikely town would overreact in such a huge way over one vote.

Anyway, we can probably get a force replacement, due to violating rule 3) of this game as well as the general site rules.

[St Constantine the Hermit]

3 replacements. Woot. Note that mine is voluntary.

Both Newbie and nrg are voluntary as well.

Maybe my successor will do more justice to the slot than I did.
/Replace out for the last and final time

[St Constantine the Hermit]

For real though, MD and RDR suck hard. Take everything they say with major skepticism.

[Mathdino]

Check the replacement queue, Rudy.
Why is NRG replacing out?

Anyway, back to what I was doing. Still gonna analyse later.

Edit: Uh huh.

[Aneninen]

Oh Whut!
What was happening here while I was learning?!

The only thing stopping me from voting Anen is that he is absolutely 100% right about Newbie.

That doesn't make sense at all! If you think I'm scum, you should explain why.

Pressure on newbie is not a bad idea but it may also be a way to mask any real scumhunting on your side, as long as you keep posting reads I'm fine with it.

You're right.
However, I'm always paranoid with early-lurkers. If the scums do nothing, the townies start fighting each other and as soon as it escalates, the scums don't have do anything for a long time. It's a natural phenomenon, since we known only our alignmnet. (That was the short form of my "Vacuum Activity Theory".)

@Rudolph: lololololololol for the quote in 237 ^_^

Aneinen is my main scum read. Probably because he reminds me of myself as scum. ¹
I'm holding back my vote on him because newbie is being inactive. ²

I would rather have newbie replace out than PL'ing her

³

(1) Well, that case was gross. ^_^
(2) So. You're scumreading me but you're voting for Mathdino because Newbie is inactive. How on Gods' Green Earth makes this sense?
(3) I've

never

told that I'd like to policy lynch her! You're misrepresenting me.

Yeah. I think I should get replaced out. I'm just not into it. Sorry to the game mod if my actions are coming off rude. I don't mean it that way.

Am I the only one who thinks it's

very strange

that she's just shown up right after she was voted, while she'd been inactive before? Regardless of she's getting replaced out, this was very scummy.

No one is doing self-meta recently, Constantine.

I think he either haven't read the thread or he's misrepresenting us. I indeed did a self-meta because Rudolph had asked for it. If someone asks a question, I give an answer. Yeah, I must have a really annoying gamestyle, wftlmao.

It's not a PL

if she is active onsite and lurking here

, that's a possible scumtell for me. Now is she the best lynch town can come up with today? I hope not.

That's why it's NOT a policy vote from me. And not only Copper noticed that it wouldn't be a policy lynch at all. (Especially because Newbie posted right after she had voted – I added this.)

It's going to be one of those games, is it?
Well, fuck you all. You're obviously not all capable of civil and lighthearted gameplay.
Seriously, you all act like mafia nazis. This is a game I play to make friends and have fun.
Does the word "Game" get lost on all of you?
/Replacing out. See me when MD and other dipshit dominating players are gone.

Spoiler:

POOOOOOOOOOOOP!

You needn't replace out. You must deal with the shyt you've just made.

Okay, I'm trying to handle this in a constructive way. Mathdino, are you saying that a gameplay like this is normal from Constantine?

@Everyone:

Let's be civil. If you're town, let's be civil and scum-hunt, not hunt after people we don't like and push them out of the game. If you're scum, be civil and let us lynch you.

^_^ Goodposting.
Who's scum, Acryon?

My god, thank you!

Over one unvote?
It's a wonder you're not insta-lynched, the way you act.

Yes, that was strange indeed.
To tell the truth, if I don't get at least two votes or at least two scumreads on Day1 I start thinking that the town isn't scumhunting at all, lololololol! By the way, why did he post that if he was about to replace out?

________

Why is NRG replacing out?
As for Constantine, I don't get it at all. He acts as if his person had been attacked rudely but (1) it was him whose posting stile was ...a bit weird and (2) I've seen much ruder posts in almost every games I were in.

Also, isn't it strange that after I put a single vote for Newbie the general "outfit" of the game has changed again?

[Rudolph the Reindeer]

That's a decent catch-up post. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the gamestate.

I wouldn't think too much about Newbie's post though. I don't think it's worth being a focal point as it's WIFOM. Could just have been a weird coincidence from town.

What are your reads on my slot, which you promised earlier, Aneninen?

[Mathdino]

You're a wallposter, Anenanenaneinaneonnenaneninnaenonymous, and your posts aren't particularly hard to read. It makes sense that you'd be able to influence the game.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying about Constantine. He's always like that. We need to wait for his replacement to see how we read his slot.

Voting for lurkers is inherently policy voting (or pressure voting, which is legit), sorry. Lurking is not a scumtell, and I've lurked in games that I just can't get into. If anything, some people are less likely to do it as scum because they don't want to get lynched more than as town. We'll read Newbie's slot when she gets replaced too, and when the playerlist is stable we can really start analysing the gamestate.

[Aneninen]

Well, Rudolph, then you may be town.
As for Newbie, if it has been a coincidence, it must have been a weird one.
But, okay.
UNVOTE:

The problem is, that I thought that Newbie and Constantine are scum, the latter one because of misrepresenting me. So, right now, apart from saying that the scums might fly under the radar, I haven't got any useful scumreads. I'll wait for the replacements and check a couple of things tomorrow (I must have missed something important). But now, I gotta go, it's 0:25 here and I'm working tomorrow morning..............

[texcat]

Sorry, I'm out until replacements come in. I don't want to play with anyone who holds grudges and votes out of spite. I don't want to play with anyone who is intentionally insulting and abusive.

[Cane + Able]

Sorry, I'm out until replacements come in. I don't want to play with anyone who holds grudges and votes out of spite. I don't want to play with anyone who is intentionally insulting and abusive.

Unfortunately there are many like that here, and until MS.net enacts stricter rules to diminish trolling and abuse, nothing will change.

What you can do is blackilist the individuals who do so, and be vocal with your opinion. No one likes playing with bullies.

However, this doesn't mean you can't be extremely forceful, aggressive, and intense... so long as you're showing respect and not crossing the line.

It looks like a shitfest happened while I was away.

[copper223]

What a mess, anyway I got some sort of town read from aneninen, at least he seems to be trying which is good enough for now.
Texcat is no longer leaning town and back into the null box.
I don't know what to think about Constantine but his vote on NRG is not half bad, I can see a hard buss coming from him based on the way he is playing or maybe behind all the bluster he is actually scumhunting.
I'm not moving my vote from BMWS until I get something meaningful from that slot.

[Cane + Able]

Texcat is no longer leaning town and back into the null box.

Why?

-House

[notreallygood]

I have to get replaced because of some duty calls I didn't expect. I won't be back for at least a half year.

@Constantine
Are you seriously going to ragequit?
