Open 595: Elemental Mafia (Town Wins!)

Your vote should be ZERO percent serious. It's literally no better than a random vote.

Senator, nobody other than Flubber has given Mick (serious) flak for that, so...?

[choof]

I'm still mainly in RVS at the moment, but I changed my vote because he said:

Hello, my homies. This player asks which one of you is mafia?

you and I are scum partners, thought we already established in the quicktopic

I realise he's probably joking but I don't have anything else to go on at this stage so saying he has a scumpartner is a good enough reason to vote him as any. Also it would be totally ironic if he was telling the truth.

there are a few ways I think I could paraphrase this but I'll just ask something instead
what is the purpose of prefacing a post that contains reasoning for a vote with "I'm still mainly in RVS"
by definition, backing up your vote with reasoning puts you solidly out of RVS
so this post is either forced or disingenuous

[Plotinus]

He asked me why I changed my vote. I did have a reason, so I shared it. RVS isn't black and white for me. If RVS is white and having a strong read on someone is black then my reason is a very very pale grey. I like to let people know who strong (or weak) my opinions/reasoning/reads are when I'm sharing them, otherwise people tend to think I feel more strongly about things than I do. It seems that you guys are doing that anyway though so whatever.

@senator without discussing theory too much this site takes voting as a very strong protrayal of one's intentions. The fact that conman didn't even ask the mod if his vote counted suggests his vote was not being used to scumhunt

[Flubbernugget]

Also I don't like him explaining himself so much

[ConManMick]

That it the most counterintuitive thing I have ever heard.
I assumed it would be counted. Also it was RVS. Also "because your name is entertaining" would suggest it wasn't anything serious.

[Flubbernugget]

Awesome so you're rvs'ing to fuck around and not to scumhunt by your own admission

[ConManMick]

Isn't the point of RVS to stir up motion in the game...? Votes are placed in RVS for lighthearted reasons. Based on player's reactions, one makes reads. Would it be naïve of me to think it's a little odd that you'd appear to freak out of a misformatted vote?

[ConManMick]

Whoops, that comes across as if I'm telling you how the game works. That's my interpretation of the purpose of RVS.

My opinion of RVS, is you throw out votes for silly reasons until someone makes an innocent mistake, and then a wagon builds on them, then people react to the wagon, which hopefully provides more information on D2. D1 is a crap shoot.

???
sure rvs can be used to stir up motion but that motion doesn't really help us in the long run; neither do joke votes

not at all
but since we are no longer in rvs, who would you put a real vote on

[choof]

D1 is a crap shoot.

it can be but it's not always

[Flubbernugget]

Con I'm not bothered by the formatting of your vote. Only your response to it. It's tough to stir up a game with a half assed commitment to a vote

[Ricastle]

What vote on page 1 do you think was being used to scumhunt?

[Senator]

I want answer to my question. Its mild. I'm also instantly weary of the light joking and noncontents thus far.

[Senator]

Plotinus, that

Yes, I reread.

And ignore that post above^

Fuck if I know. I just know con's wasn't being used

why

[Flubbernugget]

Because I agree with you?

[Ricastle]

Fuck if I know. I just know con's wasn't being used

I...jesus christ. Have you even thought about this at all?

Here's the votes. I challenge you to argue any one of them is intended to scumhunt.

Spoiler:

First..
VOTE: choof

Woohoo! Haven't played in forever! Pretty pumped up!
VOTE: senator government yeccht

vote: farside

for not being Gary Larson

VOTE: conmanmick

Can't vote properly - scummy

VOTE: fa_q2 meta says he has to be scum.

Hi(drogen) guys.

VOTE: farside22

Hi...

VOTE: vettrock

-being first
-being yoda

VOTE: conmanmick

because I can't tell if that's an elephant in your avatar or a dinosaur

Vote: nemonic

Saying myself from your bad play.

So either you're scumreading over half the players in the game, or your argument is a joke.

[Bellaphant]

Another +1 to choof's point about plot's half in/half out of rvs weirdness. We're 4 pages in, people must have reactions to something by now.

For example, Ric is town. Plot might not be. VOTE: plot

@mod, can we have a vote count? Also, are we missing some players, or can I not count?

[Bellaphant]

Also, sorry Papi. Was phone posting

@Flub, any other thoughts?
