.... Here is what I found :/


VOTE: Vote: VT

Voting randomly helps to move the game along a bit. A no lynch only benefits the mafia. And of course, since I am not Mafia, I wouldn't want to help the Mafia! LOL

It's not just one post, a couple actually. I didn't understand RVS so I was flustered.

Obvscum not reading the rules.

vanderzant, post: 11763349, member: 106246 wrote:What?

You said you were voting me for changing my vote. But now you say I shouldn't of voted you originally? Reeks of OMGUS to me

unvote vote: Ranmaru

Did you read my #41 on Random Vote Stage? Be honest :D

OMGUS: Oh My God You Suck. When a player votes someone else for the reason that they are already voting them.

e.g. "Why are you voting meeee!!! oh you must be scum!!!! vote: xxx"

Sometimes OMGUS votes happen naturally, and they are fine as long as there is sufficient reasoning to back up the vote.


Ranmaru, post: 11763597, member: 91361 wrote:No, I never said you shouldn't vote me at all, but you clearly didn't read my post. Clearly you are ignoring my mistakes in editing in contents in a routine I use in non-game formats.

If I'm voted, it's fine. But, I won't stand defeseless.

Yet again, I'm not voting you for voting me, but for not letting me adjust to the game. So what, I pressed edit, I did apoligize.

I'm not an experienced player, but I'm sure you are trying to take advantage of me.

I'm pretty sure it's everyone for themselves here.

Now, I may need to re-read your #41. I will get back to you with another post.

I think House wouldn't have come down so hard in favour of me if he were scum. At best he would have put me in the yellow section, but the easiest option would be to put me as 2nd scummiest (1st would be too obvious).


I kept this newfound townread on House even after he lynched town in LYLO and I was really confused when he said the game was over and that he had won.

My first newbie game at MS was a jewel of impeccable in-thread play. (Not really, but there were no horrible clangers)

Night actions were another story.

My first mafia game ever, I omgused anyone who raised an eyebrow in my direction.

Yea, I generally treated it more like a game of Big Brother, in which I went after whoever was my biggest threat... except I was town.

I'm sorry for helping by contributing 2-3 huge walls today. Coming back today to see 2 pages nearly killed my will to post as well, especially since quite a few of THEM were walls as well. x_x

Lol Silver! Was it the one with gm as your IC? :cool:

I don't have a link to my first newbie game here, but I definitely recall it wasn't too good. I somehow got myself lynched as a PR, and the two people replacing in weren't even new and they were both town. It went something like this:
-posting tons of ridiculously scummy posts
-having no meta whatsoever for people to better read me
-two town slots were replaced and both scumread me
-I eventually claimed a true PR, no lie
-was still lynched

Needless to say, it was just that awful LOl.
I’m an informed Miller who knows there isn’t any Loyal modifiers and there is a total of 4 scum.

I'm easily the best person in the game at mechanics. I don't presume to be the best at anything else.
