Readable color, but it clashes with the background. Blue on blue? Looks very tacky and unprofessional.Aut Tace Aut Meliora Loquere Silentio.-

How does your sig document the fact that you don't believe in explaining your votes?Maybe he meant MY sig.

Trying to appear townie by being concerned over a quick bandwagoning. I see no real reason to think of that as a threat at the point of his unvote. It looks to me like he is trying to gain townie points. Town shouldn't have to try to do that, it should come natually and his comment did not feel natural.
FoS: ChiboSempai
For seeming too willing to please or go along with others (both with his vote and his unvote).
Beginning of page 2. Also your first post. Also no random vote. Nope you went straight to "scum hunting".
This post is condemning charter for "Trying to appear townie", "trying to gain townie points". You essentially state that everything he has done seems forced. And yet, gaining that after a couple of one-liners off him in the first page, its YOUR post that comes across to me as forced.
semioldguy wrote:Actually...
Unvote; Vote: ChiboSempai
I think he is a little more likely to be scum. Though I wouldn't mind either of those two being run up with a few more votes. Chamber, you aren't off the hook yet; I've got my eye on you.Stating that you want them to be "run up" after a first page analysis.
semioldguy wrote:Anyone who tries to vote for someone because they have an unreadable color will earn my vote from this point forward.

You can't lynch someone based solely on them voting for a person over an off color.
Nor did you follow up on your apparently hollow threat. I voted you for an even more ridiculous reason, and yet you shrug if off as a random vote. I already made a random vote. And you were already calling out people with their random votes. And yet you ignore a blatantly obvious post that is right up your alley? Is that because it was targeted towards you? You didn't want to OMGUS yourself especially after calling someone else out on it with your NEXT post after my vote?
semioldguy wrote:I dislike it when people look like they are attempting to breadcrumb in an obvious way. It looks as if that's what you are doing, blatantly breadcrumbing something. Players shouldn't need to breadcrumb, if they ever should claim, then they way they play their role should dictate whether the claim is believable, not some looney post at the beginning of the game.I dislike role fishing. Especially in your obvious way.
Nothing more hypocritical than someone stating that they don't like the revealing of power roles than saying "HEY! YOU ARE SAYING YOU ARE A POWER ROLE!"

Your stances and your thoughts are ridiculous. Esentially what you are saying, is that you could very well go through an entire game just posting 'vote' and 'unvote' and typing anything else is unnecessary, because screw REASONING! We certainly don't NEED to know WHY you think ANYTHING! Just that you DO what you DO! The reasons as to WHY just speak for THEMSELVES! I mean, YOU don't have to explain yourself, they can just read the thread, and then READ YOUR MIND as to WHY you vote the way you vote!

I'm simply suggesting a theory that chamber might not be vanilla townie and that he thought that his role was important enough for it to be beneficial to the town for being lynched. But on the other hand he could be a regular vanilla townie. Though there could even be something bad happens if he's lynched.Are you serious? Is that really how you are playing things out? Stupid amounts of role fishing and implications in this post.

Its scummy by every definition of the word.
Having a scummy meta and then defending those scummy actions in game with a cry of "but thats my meta!" is also scummy.
Lets say my meta was that of refusing to vote ever. Regardless of alignment, I never vote. Or anything of the sort. And then defended not voted by saying I never vote. And then even got a title based on never voting...that does not change the fact that its scummy.
Part of scum hunting is voting patterns...but oh look, never voting means no voting patterns, no RVS votes, nothing. Not even a self vote.
Thats not really playing the game though, thats just being a jackass for metas sake. Perhaps to boost my chances to win at being scum cause I'm a harder read! Oh Boy!
Anywho, you asked for replacement, and the mod reconfirmed as such...I'm pretty sure you shouldn't be posting in games where the mod is actively looking to replace you.

There are no "definates" as of now, and you certainly can't say you don't have ideas about anyone so far.

ChiboSempai wrote:Her hammer post was well... Interesting. I don't like how it turned out. Besides the fact she missed color (which almost everyone has done at some point or other) but it seems to hint at rushing to get that hammer in before someone unvotes. She posted 3 minutes later trying to explain how it was technically me who hammered him also claiming that she didn't realized she hammered him at first, but that's not gonna fly. If she had actually thought about what was going on and read the ~1 page of posts between her two votes, she would know whats going on, and there would also be no need for two posts, the first being rushed imo, which had to be in even 3 minutes before her explanation.This. Very much this. Chibo is right on the money when it comes to the vote. When I looked at that vote on Bunny when the hammer dropped, I too noticed it wasn't in color. Then I noticed the rest of her votes...if was the ONLY one that wasn't in color. Too much on her mind perhaps.
Then there was her post after that, and we all know how that goes...
But also something important...she got replaced. A quick scan of her posting activity and shes still active and playing in her other games. Even games where she is being called out for being scummy. Yet she gest replaced out of THIS game.
Probably because she saw the town's response to the hammer before night hit, and was like 'OH SHI-*replaced*'
Shes new, she knows she screwed up, she couldn't take the pressure, she got replaced.
Then there is Shanba, who even admits that:Shanba wrote:Gets weird and scummy at the end.Yeah, I'd say its VERY weird and scummy. Especially the VERY end.
Also pointing out his hate for Josh's hate on Zaz's posts is silly.
Zaz wastes an entire post just to make a single reminder, several times...so Josh's reaction isn't too far fetched...but essentially attacking him for that?

*Generally does nothing, her posts amount to active lurking as she says nothing in themShe explained that as being caused be school and religion. I started to press her on it and she explained that she had a lot on her plate with her holidays. Which is believable.

Shanba
*However, the fact that he said he didn't think Chibo was rolefishing last page, when IMO chibo was, and Shanba could have easily agreed to strengthen his case... seems like something scum would not do. It makes me rethink. I think that atleast some of the stuff flying at shanba is crap, which makes me reevaluate.I generally pay a good amount of attention to join dates. With Chibo I hold what he says against him to a lesser extent because of such, generally speaking. A single comment from a newb-town/scum shouldn't derail an entire case just because it was directed at the person getting the heat. Its 'odd' that you would think such.elvis_knits wrote:Zazie
*I've played in a number of games with zazie recently and always get the uber-lurker zazie. I have seen him do the spamfest participation in other games but never experienced it until now. I don't understand why zazie is so different in some games -- zazie, can you explain why you either lurk to replacement or go into spam overdrive? I don't understand.I've been in games where Zaz does both. Starts off with the spam, and then lurks out. Zaz in general seems to be a very flaky person and its hard to say what he'll do. Its only one of the two extremes at a time as well.
elvis_knits wrote:Do people think scum or town are more likely to want to lynch the jester?Town would. Scum keeping a Jester around longer would draw attention away from them. But generally speaking its not a realistic scenario.

Looking back he never refuted or questioned most votes on him. Not even mine, and I had a bit of a case on him. He sat and let it happen.

I feel he played the part superbly.elvis_knits wrote:What was SoG's strategy?Play scummy enough in enough different ways to ping everyone's scumdar, but act genuinely enough to pass it off scum-trying-to-fake-scumhunt.

It's like you're saying OMGUS is your only strong strategy, which is really not the case. I had you as top 2 towniest, and I'm not sure why town would want suspicion on them; I guess scum, however, could be able to skirt small suspicion, but they really have nothing to work with when they have no suspicion on them.I'm so used to being attacked in games, that I find I can more accurately gauge the alignment of attacks on me. When a multitude of people are attacking me, I can better determine which are coming from scum, which are coming from town, and which are coming from VIs.
With everyone and their mother throwing me in their town lists, I lose a fair-sized chuck of my methods.
Luckily I'm adaptable, so I'll manage regardless.
But really, me saying that is a win/win for me. XD

No one is infallible. I'm sure I said something, somewhere that rubbed someone the rub way.
I helped lead the lynch on the Jester. I'm can be abrasive. I'm sure someone can find SOMETHING.
Imagine this: If I'm scum. Than I have you all fooled into thinking that I'm town. I won't get NK'd, and I'll coast to the end of the game and end up winning it because I'm OH SO TOWN.Aut Tace Aut Meliora Loquere Silentio.-

elvis_knits wrote:Wagoning chamber just because he has a non-standard playstyle. Which amounts to a policy lynch. Which is scummy.
Yes, I was ready to policy lynch him. In order to get him to change his 'playstyle.' He essentially said, 'I'm going to vote people, and then not explain anything.' I was trying to get him to explain votes he would do in order to get a better understanding from him. If he started doing such, my vote would be invalid and I would remove it if that continued to be the only reason I had a vote on him.
elvis_knits wrote:I also didn't like how you got mad at him for posting after asking for replacement. You said it might be a violation of site guidelines, which don't think it is. It seemed like you just wanted him gone from the game.I was mostly paranoid for his sake, generally when people ask to be replaced out, they stop posting. And there was the off chance that he might post even after replaced.
elvis_knits wrote:One of the things you said about SoG early was that he "went straight into scum hunting." Like that's a bad thing.

Quotes around "sum hunting" because I didn't believe the farce he was presenting as actual scum hunting. Like I said, it seemed forced. (Turns out it was. XD Silly Jester)

Buddying to Pome.I was planning on making a case against Pom and her lurking habits, are pursuing that. But her situation seemed believable enough to warrant her mostly absence. She has also contributed more since then. But if it came to it, I could spend the time tracking her, AND Plum's posting habits to see if the stories match up, etc. Her sporadic posting I haven't forgotten about though, and is some strikes against her.

People can learn quite 'quickly'(still, several months aren't 'quick') in games.
Also, the whole Bunny being scum and then replacing out and being quite active elsewhere on the site is a very good reason to lynch Shanba.

Also, in the past. I've made cases against MYSELF in order to promote discussion in games with dying activities. I had also made cases about EVERYONE in the GAME, even people who I thought were town and stated as such. In one of those cases, I noted that 2 people were played similarly when it came to how they treated me (One I thought was town, the other I thought was a town VI.) and noted that they could be scum buddies because of such. I didn't BELIEVE they were scum at that point, but the EVIDENCE was still there.
Turns out after the game ended (ABANDONED DAY 1 DUE TO LACK OF ACTIVITY >:O) that those two WERE actually scum buddies.
So no shred of evidence, against town or otherwise, should be overlooked.
Ideally, if I had infinite time on my hands, I would make cases against everyone in all my games.
That should also help clue you in to if I was joking with your apparent buddying, knits.Aut Tace Aut Meliora Loquere Silentio.-

Speaking from a gameplay perspective, I'd rather lynch unhelpful/lurker/abusive/VI town, than scum thats doing more scum hunting than most.
That said, I still think Shanba is scum, and nothing he has the power to do will convince me otherwise, it is outside of his hands and power.
But that doesn't mean he is the best lynch at this point.
ShanbaScum still has some good insight left about him. That can't be said so much about others.

Still second on the list of scum.

How come nobody asked what a jester is and how it already won?
This question should be answered in this queue:
First - Chibo and Nacho
Second - GD and Kirby
Third - Pome, Socio and Budja.
Doesn't matter when you answer, as long as the those mentioned before your group answered before your group.I refuse to answer that question based on that it is dumb.When this game, and a different one of ours, have been completed, we'll talk about stubbornness.
You may think it's dumb, it might give us information. So please answer.See, the thing is, scum get very uneasy when you keep things from them. So stubbornness can be very protown. Especially when scum keep asking you one particular question over and over again that is irrelevant to anything other than their own personal motivations. Its foolish to try to ignore the information gained from responses to stubbornness.
But wait...why I'm I explaining this to YOU of all people? You are the one that posted this to try and save your own ass from who you replaced:ZazieR wrote:Regarding unexplained votes:Glork wrote:Did you know that unexplained votes are the best things ever?
A few underlying principles:
1) Players -- especially when scum -- like to be comfortable. Bringing pressure that is difficult to respond to pulls them out of their comfort zones, making them react in a way they normally wouldn't react. This makes it significantly more likely that they will say or do something particularly telling of their alignments.
2) In the long-term, players often reveal the most about themselves when acting on limited information. While this maxim generally applies to the notion that D1 and D2 are the most revealing parts of a mafia game, it also applies when dealing with "unexplained votes."
2a) Let's look at the general case of an unexplained vote from a player of unknown alignment. The motivation for a protown player is to discern the intent of the voter, generally in order to obtain their alignment. The motivation of an anti-town player is to discern the intent of the voter (which sometimes involves seeking alignment) and to best utilize the situation to their advantage. There is an important, if subtle, difference. By cultivating our exploration of these differences, we can find new tools to seek and destroy the scumbaggoes amongst us.
2b) Now consider the case where I am a confirmed protown player making an unexplainded vote. In this case, my motivation is very clear. In some way, I am seeking to find scum. Here, I'm actually going to dip into one of my trade secrets and note that protown players tend to have a broader picture of our voter's intent, whereas scums tend to focus more on themselves (or, sometimes, their allies). If the person I'm voting is more concerened with how everyone else reacts than with deflecting my attack, they are usually more likely to be protown. If they immediately seek to bury someone else in accusations, wildly reject my vote/claims outright, or blame-shift, they're more likely to be scum.
3) Taking an alternate approach to scumhunting allows one to take advantage of "weak points" in other players' gameplay. Most mafia is played in the public arena. Players openly debate and discuss who is scum and why. Thus, most people tend to focus most of their attention on growing and evolving as players in this realm of open banter. A couple years ago, I learned that the vast majority of players didn't know how to react to certain circumstances. One such circumtsance was a completely irrational, yet intensely focused onslaught from an established player. This was a very noticeable chink in the mafia community's collective armor, and while you had your Internet Strangers and your Baby Jesuses (the paragons of this style of play), people who effectively played without explanation were very few and far between. Thus, very few players put the necessary time, thought, and effort into ensuring that they new how to interact with these playstyles. Over time, parts of the community evolve, and playing such playstyles shifts and changes just as the overall game meta does. Not only do they not know how to react, and not only do they give more information about themselves, but their weaknesses are actually exploitable, allowing the attacker as an individual to crack other players' shells and expose their soft, fleshy interiors, thus opening the game up for everybody.Funny how you post that and clearly don't believe in it.
As for the 'WHATS A JESTER?' question...sure, I'll humor you...
When I first found this site, I read large chunks of it even before making an account. I read the wiki, I read games, I read mafia discussion. I knew what 90% of the roles (including uncommon ones, not including the scumchat ones) that existed, and knew how they all functioned.
My first game on the site people refused to believe that I was not an alt because of how I carried about myself. ICs in my newb game though that I was the one that was inexperience challenged. This applied to the more social parts of the site, consider the background that I knew about the players themselves.
And thats how something as simple as 'WHATS A JESTER?' is no more different than you asking this to me:
'WHATS A MAFIA GOON? HOW DID YOU KNOW HOW THEY WIN?'
Not everyone is as oblivious as you, or as least, tries to appear to be.

Lets see where this takes us.Reasons?'UNEXPLAINED VOTES ARE THE BEST THINGS EVER!' as your quote goes.
But the reasons I'm voting you include the fact that you are a chronic lurker, feign ignorance on the simplest of things, and actually post very little in terms of your own opinions.
You mask your non-contributions with spam and questions.
80% of the things you say are questions.
People don't learn YOUR stances when all you do is question others.
Its good to hide behind that as opposed to posting content.
You sit back and relax because you focus on making others post content themselves while not doing the same.
A good gameplay experiment would be to compile all of your posts together in one post, and leave out anything that is either asking a question, or directly quoting others, and to see how long (or short) that would be. Not saying anyone should actually DO that though.

I find it easier to read those that are attacking me.If so, then why didn't you mention this during D1 where many also saw you as town?D1 is a different kind of monster.
ZazieR wrote:SocioPath wrote:elvis_knits wrote:Attempt?

I'm very wary of a player, who, right after I make a point that I get better reads from people that actively attack me, you go and make a deliberate direct attempt to do the exact opposite.
Sarcasm or not, you haven't made a single comment about me that hasn't been either directly or indirectly positive.
Quite scummy for being so certain of my alignment.
Pom is just as bad as well, except she hasn't been around to post as much in general, but I've got my eye on her as well.Don't understand this post. Can you elaborate?Up to that point, and somewhat part that, she has buddied me all game. Even after pointing out that she has buddied me all game. I was noting that as things I said I do. I attack everyone, and get conclusions based on such. Just like I encourage people to attack me.
I'm happy with my vote placement.Aut Tace Aut Meliora Loquere Silentio.-

You really think everyone is clueless about this game other than you?
Why didn't YOU ask what a Jester was and how it already won?ZazieR wrote:I do post content. My questions show where my suspicions lie and I explain the suspicions behind them as well.Debatable. Your questions are mostly filler and don't point towards any kind of suspicions most of the time. They are a way to get you out of explaining any of your actions. You can just hide behind the 'asking to know motivations,' but your base point of questions is like coming from a person who has never dealt with any mafia games. The way you go about things is to not lift a finger to do anything yourself, and just ask everyone else to hold your hand throughout the game. Most of your questions that are asked could be very easily answered if you just read the game. Or read the people. You know, how mafia is played. Try to show some insight.
For instance, your Jester question could have been answered by taking a glance at the join dates on the left side of your screen, under the user names. This isn't a newbie game. Most people join THEMED GAMES with the expectation of themes and unusual roles. It would be ridiculous to assume people joining a themed game didn't even have a knowledge of some of the more basic roles, like a Jester. Most themed games usually START at BASIC THEME GAME ROLES (like Jester, Miller, Vig, etc) and then go from there to the TRULY BIZARRE.
The Jester examples are just based around ONE question of yours.
And its clear its not a one-time only deal here.
Although I'm sure you'll go and ask for every example.
Just so you don't have to put any actual thought in the game.
Still #2 on my scum list.Aut Tace Aut Meliora Loquere Silentio.-

And why would a townie be afraid to attack me? You are arguing the exact opposite of what I'm saying. I think it is you who doesn't understand.
If I get a better read on people that attack me, and a townie attacks me...then obviously its easier to gauge whether or not that attack originated from a townie. You are seemingly trying to twist my words to make it sound like every case and attacks I do is nothing more than OMGUSes.
Really, gathering from what I said, you should have come to the conclusion that it should be SCUM that should be afraid of attacking me. Town has nothing to worry about.Aut Tace Aut Meliora Loquere Silentio.-

So, it wouldn't be unreasonable at all for a townie to be wary of attacking you as an unpopular target because they realize they will be the only one doing so, and thus your main target. And if you're telling the truth, then of course you will find something... There is always enough to make a lynch look convincing on anyone who is actively participating; you just have to look hard enough.SocioPath wrote:You are seemingly trying to twist my words to make it sound like every case and attacks I do is nothing more than OMGUSes.Aut Tace Aut Meliora Loquere Silentio.-

Yankee calling me too townie, and then claiming ONE SHOT Vig on DAY THREE.
Budja would have used it, he had suspects.
Vig claim seems like scum flailing, although premature.
Although Snow_Bunny's fleeing also seemed like scum flailing.
Kirby rubbed me the wrong way last page with his Chibo posts.
Nacho's getting ridiculously illogical.
Chibo's last post is among the worst.
Town drunk talk makes no sense and ditracts from actual discussion.
Too many anti-town players.

The flavor of this game has nothing to do with the roles presented.
YOU were the one that mentioned town drunk.
The meta for town drunk is a role that DOESN'T HAVE A META.
IT SIMPLY ENOUGH DOESN'T EXIST AS YOU DESCRIBE IT.
YOU ARE FISHING FOR A ROLE THAT DOESN'T EXIST.
All that was originally said was EK going 'OH FLAVOR! MAYBE HE HAS A POST RESTRICTION'
Which clearly wasn't the case if you read up on GreenDude AT ALL.
The fact that you are pushing so hard for a role that doesn't exist is only made better by what you think the role IS. A TOWN RB. Paranoid much???
