So far the games I have played here, millers do know they are millers. However I just don't get why LG claimed so early. There was no need or pressure for such a claim.Vivian Darkblaam wrote:Hmmm... it would seem to make sense with the flavor (Douchebag: article of feminine hygiene or terrible person? You decide), but miller is always a suspect claim, and don't most millers not know they're millers?
I'm just curious can you show me where the discusion on this was? I think I can think of the reason why claiming this early is good. I just wonder what was said exactly on this.Mirth wrote:Because its theoretically best to claim at the beginning of a game if you're a miller.
It seemed like there was likes of back and forth on the issue. Some people talk about when during the day to claim and others say it sets up for scum claiming it to save themselves.Lord Gurgi wrote:"Miller strategy?" That's it.
I'm just saying the poster he used is the one they use in the Army back in the day for recruits. You remember Uncle Sam wants you.Mirth wrote:Hmmmmm. So you're saying you think he might be a cult recruited?
What does having a night have anything to do with if he is a recruit or not?Vivian Darkblaam wrote:He certainly can't be a recruit - we haven't had a night yet.Mirth wrote:Hmmmmm. So you're saying you think he might be a cult recruited?

Why does my post warrant a fos? DBE comment in the above post is scummy. It's add nothing to the conversation. She didn't point to anyone scummy if that was her intention. She is stating if no one looks scummy we should lynch LG. The post she made is useless noise, hence my vote.Falcone wrote:EBWOP:FoS: xyzzyfor #77 andFoS: farside22for #81.
For the record, my threshold for giving FoS and IGMEOY's is very low. They are a way to ask people for clarification for scummy posts or suspicious behaviour and are not necessarily meant to be an indication for whether or not I want to lynch that player.
Did you see anything in DBE's post that lead in any constructive matter what-so ever? Did she say anything useful or point anyone scummy in the post? Those are my issue's with what she said.Falcone wrote:The first sentence of that post is a blatant misrepresentation of Darla's post. She didn't suggest quicklynching Lord Gurgi or stopping discussion at all.

This is what I said. I questioned her further and voted her for not doing any of the 3 things that should be done in regards to LG's comments. Instead she is stating that LG should be lynched? Does she say when? Does she add anything. No that is my point in this post and I think you are missing everything I said. I did not back track my comments. My second post states things that should have been going on instead of her comment. I think you are reaching.farside22 wrote:So you are saying lets not talk about who is scummy and lynch LG because of the miller claim?DarlaBlueEyes wrote:Question:

@Mirth: Going to the specialty shops for bra's is very, very expensive. Luckly for me at least I can still shop in store.
I want an answer to this too. Plus I still don't see how you would think I was back peddling after reading through my post.Mirth wrote:Why not give Vivian the same grief y'all are giving Farside. She's guilty of the same thing: taking Darla's post out of context.
I know none of this is directed at me, but I get narrow minded when in a heated debate.Mirth wrote:Falcone, what do you think of my current vote on Mariyta?
Spacecase, Xyzzy, what do you think of any of the current votes floating around?
The point is that you came in and said you had nothing to offer to the discussion. If you didn't have any knowledge of miller (which I didn't) then ask questions or look further into it. You are being a lump of blah with your post. I just reread everything to see what I missed and realized you came saying I have nothing to say to saying nothing. I mean no thoughts on who voted who and there reason's. I agree in one that you have been around long enough to be actively in the discussion.Mariyta wrote:People would jump on me like they usually do, and then I'd get upset and either be replaced or just quit playing again. I'm trying not to do that this time around.Mirth wrote:...And my vote stays. Since you are not responding to my reason for putting it there in the first place.
I also like how you're pointing out that you "learned not to overreact." Why so self conscious? What do you think would happen if you "overreacted"? What do you mean by "overreact?"
And the first one to throw the claws goes to Mariyta.Mariyta wrote: Farside, knowing what a miller is isn't going to give me enough experience with the role to make a judgement call... and not all "real women" are chatty. Just the gossips.
I reread a few things and noticed Mariyta stated that it was just one vote and didn't feel a need to react. I'm seeing what a second vote would do at this point. Plus I found her lack of conversation really bad. I mean seriously it isn't difficult to come in and ask questions or just respond to what in the game you find scummy and she did not of that when she came into the game.Mirth wrote:It is the no substance thing. If you have nothing new to add, why don't you try to provoke discussion by throwing out a couple of questions? Or asking other people what they think? Or throwing out a random pressure vote on a lurker? "I've got nothing to say" isn't playing. And saying that you're scared of criticism bothers me. This game is all about criticism and questions and suspicion. So why are you treating it like a bad thing? And how to you define "overreact?"Mariyta wrote: I must be missing the question in there.
As for the no substance thing, if I have nothing new to add and I don't say anything, I get yelled at. If I say I don't have anything new to add, I get yelled at. Would you like me to make stuff up?
Farside, knowing what a miller is isn't going to give me enough experience with the role to make a judgement call... and not all "real women" are chatty. Just the gossips.
And Farside, why the voteswitch?
No. I stated that with Falcone attacking me, it seems DBE is not concerned about my vote on her. I feel she can use him as a shield to duck responsiblity of her comment and lack of scum hunting.Mirth wrote:So you're worried about Falcone attacking you?
Umm we have played in 4 games thus far and only one game is over and you were scum. Other then that, the other games are ongoing and can't be discussed. I do however find if funny you think I'm town in a game I couldn't keep up with and asked to be replaced.Lord Gurgi wrote:Well I usually find DBE scummy, but for whatever reason I'm not getting that read this game. I'm also not seeing farside as town, in fact closer to scum, which is throwing me off, because I usually get a town read off her.
Scumlist ATM:
1. Farside22
2. Nonny
3. Mariyta
I think we have been in 2 games together? I know one for sure and that was the hockey game that seemed to drag on forever.ThAdmiral wrote: Farside: I wonder why Lord Gurgi normally reads farside as town because I normally read her as scum, and this game is no different. I'm not sure how often she has been scum in games I've been in, but she tends to throw votes around, misinterpret people and attack perhaps a bit more aggressively than necessary - and that seems scummy to me.
From what he has implied which I felt I explained. I didn't answer to his satisfaction and he claims I am changing my story. Of course he isn't responding to anything I have stated in response to his comment since then.Mirth wrote:Why more votes for Farside? Justify this statement please?
How is it weak to attack someone for not scum hunting and offering nothing but a point that if no one is scummy then we should lynch this other person? Really that is so helpful for her to offer someone to just vote out if no one looks scummy?Falcone wrote:For the full case, see my posts #111, #117 and #124.Mirth wrote:Why more votes for Farside? Justify this statement please?
Short version: Farside22 voted for Darla while misrepresenting Darla's post #80, saying that Darla should have done three different things with regards to Lord Gurgi's claim, two of which Darla had already done at that point. The third thing Darla did not to but should have, according to farside22 was "look for scum". This is a very weak reason to attack Darla for, especially since farside22 only took a single post of Darla into consideration before deciding she "wasn't looking for scum".
Even shorter version: I think farside22 is scum.
Got it?
I'm sorry should have have kept naming things she should have done after 3 to make you happy? Until you pointed out her comments I didn't remember her really say much about LG and in all honesty until Mirth questioned her about it she didn't say anything about it.
DBE gets the vote on page 5 because she brought up voting LG if no one else scummy logic which I find terrible.Vivian Darkblaam wrote:@farside: I'll accept you being suspicious of somebody for not scumhunting, but why DBE? Why on page 5? Why after that post?
What is your question?Lord Gurgi wrote:I'm also quite comfortable my vote right now. But Spacecase is quickly climbing his way up my suspicion ladder.
I do not like how neither Falcone or Farside actually answered my question.
What is my post 228 if not my suspicions?Lord Gurgi wrote:List of Suspicions, if you please.farside22 wrote:What is your question?Lord Gurgi wrote:I'm also quite comfortable my vote right now. But Spacecase is quickly climbing his way up my suspicion ladder.
I do not like how neither Falcone or Farside actually answered my question.
@Mirth: Based on my reading in the game and just what I feel scum do in typical situation do I have issues with DBE. It is the well if no one is is scummy then we should lynch LG. I know she is around and posting elsewhere, but the fact that she is avoiding actual participation in this game after some of the heat is off of her leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
If you are going to push a case can you lay it out more then just gut if you want a response?Lord Gurgi wrote:If DarlaBlueEyes does become more active, I will vote Spacecase, but until then I am not going to participate in the lurker lynching. I am still sure about Farside22.Mirth wrote:unvote:Mariyta

I do not like the prospective Darla lynch. Yes she has not been playing, but she is not the most guilty of the nonplayers.
It shouldn't unless he doesn't know who.Mirth wrote:Yes. I have heard of recruiting/seeking masons before. This would have been my answer to Farside as a possible scenerio, actually. Didn't want to give Spacecase ideas in case this wasn't what he was claiming.nonny wrote:anyone ever heard of a role like this? Or any speculation on wat the picture has to do with this?Spacecase wrote:I have to find my "partner" during the night. Once i do find my fellow mason, i can talk to him or her during the night
My vote, however, stays, until Spacecase explains himself a bit better and posts his picture. Can't be too hard to copy the picture coding from the role PM, now can it?
Are you telling me you did this and post 196 still holds true?Lord Gurgi wrote:Smiley = Joking.

I hope you're joking or something.Unvote; FoS Farside22I generally don't use FoS's as I think they are useless, but at the moment they really convey my feelings.
I'm going to try and figure out who I want to vote for before the deadline gets here.
I think it's tacky when people bring on going games. I've seen people use on going games to give reasons as to why they vote for people or why they are not voting people and use that game to show how that person is scum, which no one can defend against because then it breaks on of the big rules on MS. I just wanted to nip on going discussion in the bud.farside: Post 50: Ah...why the FoS? Just for discussing ongoings? Mrr...
Only 2 people had a case against me. One is Falcone who I defended myself against and the other is Forbidden who I need to review exactly what case that is. I'm very busy on the weekends taking care of my little one so I will go over what Forbidden has stated against me. As for LG he has yet to come up with a case against me.nonny wrote:Any one want to refresh my memory on this reasoning? Maybe I'm missing something...enlighten me.
Looking back it was a bad statement, but it was also a bad comment from DBE. I didn't like her lets lynch LG because he is not a PR if no one comes up scummy. She never even attempted to state who she thought was scummy.farside: Post 110: Ah, well, ya see, that's not the issue. the issue is your misrepresentation. Bad deflection. Actually address the issue at hand. Now I'd be FoSing.
I don't see it as backtracking. I had many number of reason's why DBE's comment came off as scummy. Was I really to name every single one?farside: Post 113: Erm...actually, it looks like you are backtracking. You very specifically said that her idea was to lynch LG then with no discussion etc. If you take a stance, stand by it or directly rescind it. Don't try to say you said something else.
farside: Post 129: More deflection. You were willing to give up DBE after all the defense? Well, I guess that's fair, but you never rescinded your initial view. It looks too much like "I'm backed into a corner...so LOOK OVER THERE IT'S A SCUMMY NON CONTRIBUTOR". Not good.
DBE gave a list if I remember correctly. I would have to look back and read thru again to see what you are talking about here.farside: Post 162: Yet another tag added to the odyssey of your opinions on Darla. She rescinded her point. While it's fair to keep pushing it since she didn't precisely answer you, I don't think you'll get anywhere.
Here is my reason not for worry, but why I pushed LG on his comments.farside: Post 269: Why so worried? If he's waiting for a slip, you have nothing to worry about if you are town, because you'll have more ways to pull out of it. Since he can't make a case, I honestly wouldn't worry about it. Don't like this.
Well I usually find DBE scummy, but for whatever reason I'm not getting that read this game. I'm also not seeing farside as town, in fact closer to scum, which is throwing me off, because I usually get a town read off her.
I answered his question and he seemed to miss it.I do not like how neither Falcone or Farside actually answered my question.
States he isn't sure.If DarlaBlueEyes does become more active, I will vote Spacecase, but until then I am not going to participate in the lurker lynching. I am still sure about Farside22.
.Smiley = Joking. But Farside22's interest in my reasons is making me heavily doubt my suspicions. Unvote; FoS Farside22 I generally don't use FoS's as I think they are useless, but at the moment they really convey my feelings
I still see no reason's he finds me scummy. I felt at this point he flip flopped which is why LG went on my scum list.Yes it does Farside, my suspicion of you is that feeling that makes me think that you are scum, regardless of the lack of incriminating evidence. I'm not going to vote for someone if I do not think they have a chance of being lynched, and this is especially pertinent at deadline.
I have no idea what straw man means. Can I get a deffintion please.straw-man
I questioned the poster more then anyone. Here by the way because obviously I'm older then some people is the orginal poster and Wiki on Uncle Sam.Lord Gurgi wrote:Upon a quick reread: She asked me why I would have my picture and didn't lean heavily either way on the issue of my claim. Also she tried to straw-man all the metas being used on her, on the basis that people disagree, which is ludicrous, because there's always dispute over meta. Putting me on her LoS because I think she's suspicious but up till now I haven't given any reasoning, which for me is not a scum-tell, especially to the point of #2 on her LoS, which would, with the lynch of DBE make me #1 for not giving reasons for voting her.
How many votes is it to lynch?
Then Falcone FOS's me which I asked him why it warrants and FOS:DarlaBlueEyes wrote:

I see my quote up there and it is a rhetorical question but it is still a question only and I don't see it as a misrep. I questioned her motives based on her comment.The first sentence of that post is a blatant misrepresentation of Darla's post. She didn't suggest quicklynching Lord Gurgi or stopping discussion at all. I even think her stance on Lord Gurgi is more reasonable than that of the people who want to treat him as a confirmed townie.
Did you see anything in DBE's post that lead in any constructive matter what-so ever? Did she say anything useful or point anyone scummy in the post? Those are my issue's with what she said.
If he knew what DBE intetions were then what were they with what she said then?Falcone stated:
It's true that Darla's post wasn't the most useful post imaginable at that point in the game, but I happen to agree with what she said.
My issue with your post is that you misrepresented what Darla said and voted her for it, starting a bandwagon on her. You made it seem like Darla was looking for an easy lynch of the claimed miller (Lord Gurgi), while that was clearly not what she was trying to do.
It's intresting that you now seem to backtrack and claim that you voted Darla just for making a useless post.
Since I'm happy overall with how Mirth has reacted to my accusations:
Unvote: Mirth
Vote: farside22
I stated:
This is what I said. I questioned her further and voted her for not doing any of the 3 things that should be done in regards to LG's comments. Instead she is stating that LG should be lynched?

My second post states things that should have been going on instead of her comment. I think you are reaching.
Falcone:
Farside22, the point is Darla already answered your Q1 ("What's the best course of action if you're a miller?") in #63 en #67 and your Q2 ("Do we believe Lord Gurgi's role claim?") in #43. So there was no point in her answering those questions again when she made the post you voted her for. It's true that Darla didn't contribute much to the discussion about who is suspicious, but she didn't do what you're accusing her of doing, i.e. trying to discourage discussion and lynch Lord Gurgi instead of someone who's more suspicious. It's not because she didn't explicitly mention that we shouldn't Lord Gurgi right now, that you can assume she did want to do that. Furthermore, in my opinion it was clear from what she said that she did not want to lynch Lord Gurgi immediately, but only in the unlikely event that no better lynch candidate is found during D1.
Falcone stated:
Short version: Farside22 voted for Darla while misrepresenting Darla's post #80, saying that Darla should have done three different things with regards to Lord Gurgi's claim, two of which Darla had already done at that point.

This is a very weak reason to attack Darla for, especially since farside22 only took a single post of Darla into consideration before deciding she "wasn't looking for scum".
He never answered my last question here by the way. Now mind you maybe I should have expanded on the number of reason's why DBE's post was wrong, but I didn't feel a need at the time. I don't throw FOS"S around because I just think they are useless. If you like meta look at my games and you will see I don't FOS's very much. I vote. Voting is powerful it invokes more fear in a person then an FOS's could ever do.I replied:
How is it weak to attack someone for not scum hunting and offering nothing but a point that if no one is scummy then we should lynch this other person? Really that is so helpful for her to offer someone to just vote out if no one looks scummy?
I already quoted where you flip flopped on your comments about me.Lord Gurgi wrote:1. I state I am suspicious of her.
2. She asks why.
3. I say I am not sure why.
4. She puts me on her LoS.
5. I say that's scummy.
I suppose it's double OMGUS in some ways.
What I am saying Nonny, is that my WIFOM is best resolved with a night kill. Not by wasting a lynch.

Again I pushed for an awnser on why I was scum and this above was my answer.

I don't remember being a cop in a game with you. I could be wrong.Lord Gurgi wrote:Mirth is dead so I think all your questions to her are going to go unanswered. Anyway, in all the games I've finished that had a cop I was investigated, by Farside once, in fact. But then I don't think that means that I draw investigations, since that's only two games.
Who is that last line directed to. I know Falcone attacked me most of yesterday wanting a lynch. LG only comment was "I usually read farside as scum" which is nothing at all.ThAdmiral wrote:I'm personally not convinced by falcones case (especially because it also goes as far to suggest that lord gurgi is the scum partner). And I still don't understand why, if you were trying to get the town to look at a farside lynch, you wouldn't have actually mentioned it yesterday.
