Why does everyone random vote at the start of a game?

Or, some people out themselves in the first post of the game. Unintentionally, albiet, I perfer to NOT random vote ever.

On the other hand, sometimes scum victimize innocents based on their first post. So the argument goes both ways, really.

Or, you should really keep ongoing game discussion to the thread. Please alert the mod. I was talking about a Newbie game in which Fritzler was modding. Newbie #193. Fritzler will corrobarate this.

But in that game, he basically didn't do anything but say "I'm more experienced then all of you, listen to me! Derf derf!" and "PianoGwen called me out on being a bit of a jackass, I wanna be replaced!". He might've picked the scum, but he was such a whiner that I was worried I was going to get banned just for trying to get him lynched. It wasn't good pro-town play, and it hurt the fun of the game.

No problem with you at all... I actually had a problem with Pianogwen.

And to put an end to this...

I'm

NOT

a big deal. I play mafia for fun, just like anyone else. I'm wrong as often (if not more) than I'm right. I, too, Turbo, felt the same way you did. You felt that I was making the game less fun. To me, Pianogwen was making the game less fun for me.

After death, I spoke about this game a lot to many people, and they all said the same thing... "If you feel like you aren't enjoying a game, ask to be replaced."

I became very angry when I felt that personal attacks were being floated my way. I know this, mainly because, even while the game was ongoing, I recieved a PM saying "Why is she being so rude to you?"

I know, she was your scum partner, so maybe you didn't see it the same way. Either way, I actually REALLY enjoyed playing with you, and I hope you feel the same way in hindsight.

On the other hand, we've kind of wandered far afield of what this thread was started for, so moving it to PMs might not be a bad idea after all. I'm interested to see how Verbose Mafia 2 works out, since there will likely be no random voting burst at the beginning, and strict requirements to post anyway.

Are you playing verbose, Flay? I have a feeling you, I, and Turbo will be having soem fun
