Maybe, but sometimes when you let just two people attack and counter-attack each other it is far less effective than if other people chime in with their opinions as well. Furthermore it makes it less likely that the town as a whole will start looking at the only two arguing people as viable lynches, narrowing the town's potential scope.Battousai wrote:Actually, it would be best for the person to try and defend themselves first, AND THEN point out the flaws in the attack.

I agree with this as well.ClockworkRuse wrote:Alright Battousai, I'm alright with you voting me. But I'll tell everyone now, I don't really feel that much pressure from votes. If you are going to vote me, ask me questions.
A vote coupled with "cause you've been acting scummy" (or something of the kind) is basically worthless and is impossible to respond to/defend against.-

How do you propose to keep track of multiple players whom you find suspicious? Personally, I use FoS and IGMEOY as a way of in-thread notetaking, especially useful for later in the game, but also as a way to get more serious attention of someone I think is acting scummy.Caboose wrote:Caboose wrote:

The IGMEOY on you was partly jest and partly a concern that you may be focusing your efforts only on one person at a time.-

Self-voting is fundamentally a null-tell. I defended it as such. You had no basis for voting for Ramus for it, and you had no basis for then voting for me. Furthermore you rebuked ThAdmiral for defending me. Your first action had no merit and the two actions which stemmed from it also, consequently, had no merit. I see it as quite possible you are aiming for a devil's advocate-type playstyle (ironically much like Ramus also seems to be doing) but this doesn't excuse you from the onus of providing valid arguments for your votes and assertions.ClockworkRuse wrote:Ortolan, the point is that the town was applying pressure to him, and his reactions are important. You defending him detracts from his reactions, in my opinion, as you give him a safeguard.
Are you telling me that it's okay to self-vote because it's a fashion now?
@TheAdmiral, Why are you defending Ortolan? He is perfectly capable of responding himself.-

I actually agree with a little of Clockwork and a little of ortolan. I feel that while self-voting is a null-tell, we should all still be held accountable for our actions and responses. However, I also feel that defending other players from things that they can defend against themselves should be avoided because it does allow them an easy out.PokerFace: "I need to play with [Ether] or Mizzy more often."
Nightson: "I'd be more then happy to play with Ether and Mizzy. At the same time."

Don't know if you were directing it at me since my name was mentioned in CR's quote, but I did give a reason for my vote (the adequate pressure remark). See the end of post 82.ThAdmiral wrote:

Then please, follow through with your wagon. If you want to put pressure on me, do it. Ask questions and actually do something about it. The worst thing that can happen from votes is that I can be lynched, confirmed, and you'll have a new list of suspects from who voted me.CarnCarn wrote:

So you find it scummy that I choose Ort over Ramus, because of the way I did it, correct? Is that the only reason you find me scummy right now?
This is pretty much dead wrong. If you haven't noticed, not everyone is voting Ramus because he self-voted. Look back and read over his answers, he has basically refused to explain himself. The fact that you defended him detracts from any reactions that we might get from him and at this point in the game, reactions are very important.ortolan wrote:

The same goes for TheAdmiral, defending someone else detracts from the answers we can get from your reactions. These aren't "unmerited", these are my beliefs about the game. Defending someone else makes it too easy for scum to get away from questions and pressure.
And second, the fact that you thought I voted Ramus tells me that you aren't reading the thread completely.-

My apologies. Ironically I actually did re-read the entire thread before making my previous post, but I must have mixed you up with CarnCarn. In fact this if anything merely strengthens my point- I find it somewhat bizarre that you would not vote Ramus because there is "adequate pressure", yet you would vote for someone for defending him. This almost seems to amount to a "vote-by-proxy" and as MM said in 68, could well serve as a way of getting some of the benefits of an actual vote on Ramus without drawing attention to yourself.ClockworkRuse wrote:
And second, the fact that you thought I voted Ramus tells me that you aren't reading the thread completely.
According to the last votecount, he only has 1 vote. It's strange you seem to be at least partially appealing to argument from the majority here. I find this odd because not only is it a bad argument, but you have four votes to his 1 at the moment (I'm not one of them either). What reason do you think people have for voting for you? Is it because of who you've voted/not voted for, or the *way* you've justified your actions?This is pretty much dead wrong. If you haven't noticed, not everyone is voting Ramus because he self-voted.
The point is that he *doesn't* have a case to answer to based purely on his null-tell self-vote. If you want to pick out something that he's done *after* that, then by all means, go ahead. I'll give you one: Post 60. Here I feel he conceded his gambit too readily and then directed suspicion at four different people based on a fairly slim, one-line justification for each. If that's what you were referring to then we're at least partially in agreement, but I still don't see what about his initial self-vote he's obliged to defend.Look back and read over his answers, he has basically refused to explain himself.-

How is your case strengthened by the fact that I felt there was adequate pressure on Ramus? Even if I felt like his pressure was lacking, I wasn't going to go after him over you. As I've already said, in my eyes defending someone before they can give a response is scummy.ortolan wrote:

At this point, there isn't much I can say without repeating myself.
As to my votes, I would account it to both. But you'll also notice something, no one jumped up to defend me. So the wagon is welcome, because it's based on my reactions.-

The fact that you recognize the scumminess and the potential jump on the wagon means you had significant interest in Ramus. So it seemed to me like you were trying to have it both ways by addressing Ramus while not creating a clear link with him.ClockworkRuse wrote:
Ramus wasn't my primary interest, that's just how you are reading into it. I agree that his responses to fairly simple questions have been scummy, but at the time I felt that the amount of people concentrating on him was adequate, I didn't need to jump on that wagon. And you're telling me that I'm scummy because I didn't bother to FoS him or tell him I was going to keep my eye one him?Machiavellian-Mafia wrote:
But you can still address your concerns with other players and possibly using FOSes, IGMEOYs, etc while voting for Ramus. You are depicting a possible Ramus-vote in the worst light by suggesting tunneling.ClockworkRuse Post 54 wrote:Would you rather I tunnel in on someone who already has two or three players firing questions away?
I'm more interested in why someone is defending him right now than his defense, what reason would ort have defending Ramus? Ramus is perfectly capable of responding to the questions and suspicions that are being thrown at him right now, so one would hope at least.
I also see a contradiction in your second statement. Earlier you said "As I think there is adequate pressure on Ramus right now, I'm not going to vote him", which suggests that Ramus is your primary interest. Then in the post above you flip flop and say that the Ramus-defenders are your primary interests and Ramus is secondary.
Do you think I did need to jump on that wagon? Why? What benefit would it be for scum to concentrate on someone else when someone is under heavy scrutiny?
Your last question is a classic WIFOM scenario. It seems Scum X will do action A in circumstance C, so X knows the town will think this and do action not-A in circumstance C, so X knows the town will think this and do action not-not-A (A) in circumstance C, etc.The end justifies the means.-

ortolan, if someone(in this case Ramus) is accused of something, you should not answer for him, because then he doesn't need to think of a reason, if he is scum then accusing him might reveal him, but if he isn't scum, then he can explain the logic behind his play, the thing is, the moment you defend him then he can just repeat exactly what you said regardless of if he is scum or not, if you question the logic of a question, you may say you agree with him after he answers, but just giving him the answer is not the way to go...-

I see where you're coming from. My feeling is that people should not be made to defend non-scummy actions (such as a self-vote). It sets a dangerous precedent. If you're going to attack him I would prefer if it was done based on something more substantial.Currently modding Mole Mafia: http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=20529

To me, I feel that he was just saying "Yah, Ramus is scummy, but I don't want to place a vote on Ramus because Ramus is feeling pressured." I believe he was coming up with a reason to NOT vote Ramus. The scum reasons I can see are that CR may not want to vote his partner OR CR didn't want to appear scummy by jumping on a bandwagon to just add pressure OR wants to stay away from a growing bandwagon in case it comes to fruitation and Ramus is revealed as town.ThAdmiral wrote:Battouasi: can you explain in your own words why the adequate pressure remark is scummy?-

I really didn't like Batt's "pressure" vote for CR either (Post 82). Pressure on Ramus made sense as he was being evasive, but CR was already talking. I saw no benefit in adding a vote for the sake of "pressure" at this point. Batt's explanation of why he found the "adequate pressure" remark scummy wasn't convincing either:
How do you think CW-town should have reacted to the Ramus wagon?Battousai, Post 118 wrote:To me, I feel that he was just saying "Yah, Ramus is scummy, but I don't want to place a vote on Ramus because Ramus is feeling pressured."

I think there is/are scum on the CR wagon. I think Batt may fit the description. I'd vote for Batt right now, but Caboose is on his wagon already.

Emphasis added. Basically what he's saying is "I would prefer to vote Ramus, but there is enough pressure, so I'll vote someone else", which implies that Ramus was in fact a primary choice.ClockworkRuse wrote:As I think there is adequate pressure on Ramus right now, I'm not going to vote him,but I would like a better explaination about why he self-voted rather than someone else explaining something about his last game.

How I read CR's statement was that his primary interest was on Ramus because he mentioned Ramus first and considered voting Ramus, but because of the "adequate pressure", he wanted to instead pursue his secondary interest. I clearly spelled out the contradiction in that quote.destructor wrote:I don't like the CR-hate.

The main reason for my vote was that CR had significant interest in Ramus and considered Ramus to be scummy but did not want to pile on the wagon by voting, FOSing, etc. In other words, I saw him talk and talk but not walk the walk.The end justifies the means.
