I would be interested in seeing a scenario where we each had a vote on us. The results of the following vote count could let us know if some players votes carry more weight than others.Mirth, in the rules, wrote: - I would appreciate it if y'all didn't take forever. All days shall have atentative deadline of one month after they start, but if you wish..."

Who is better?
Hulk vs The Flash
Green Lantern vs Human Torch
Aquaman vs Superman
Wolverine vs Batman
You must decide!

There are two Aliens and three Agents
Who would win if:
They were both unarmed?
The Aliens had ray guns and the Agents had projectile weapons?
The Aliens had psychokinesis and the Agents had reverse engineered Plasma Weapons? If the Agents do not have psychic dampening fields?
Darox wrote:I'll let you off for thinking batman was better, because you could have been thinking of Batman Beyond who is indeed an equal opponent to Wolverine.
Now that we are on the same page, I'm not answering Kmd's question because heclearlyhas no understanding of the power dynamics of Hulk vs The Flash, Green Latern vs Human Torch, Aquaman vs Superman, and Wolverine vs Batman.

aliens!!! first they abduct are bodies and now our votes?Plum wrote:Dear me, there go the votes. Dahill, did these aliens you mentioned abduct them or something? I'm just going to hope and pray it's still just Mirth messing with our collective skulls.
Also, Glork, any idea what's with your vote? Wasn't it on the (not in this game, as far as I can tell, and you never can tell with Mirth) lovely Petroleumjelly?

Maybe it's people with post restrictions and taking their gnome removes their restriction? I don't know. I'll probably check Zazie tonight to test that because hers is the worst one.
does that mean you were trying to avoid a vote when you posted this explanation for voting zazier?Kmd4390 wrote:Yeah, I agree there.
Like in the random phase, when people call a 3rd vote on a bandwagon scummy in a mini, that's not even close to a lynch, but it always seems to make people vote over it.
Kmd4390 wrote:Vote ZazieRnot as a bandwagon but because I like jokevoting her.
the problem isn't you voting for herKmd4390 wrote:No reason really.
I was going to vote her anyway and then saw a couple votes already on her. I wasn't going to not vote her just because of 2 votes though, so I said what I said. There really isn't any other motive to it or anything.
Isacc wrote:Like Plum, the length of this tiny squabble has made me realize I am going to be obligated to take some position or side, or at least provide commentary.
I think dahill is taking this out of hand. I wasn't particularly worried about the vote at all (it was in the random vote stage, who cared?). Dahill, you ask about a random vote, and then start getting suspicious when his explanation isn't to your liking? Duh his explanation isn't complex or anything more than "I just did," and why? Because it was the random voting phase.
Three posts ago, I wasn't really concerned and was just going to say "I didn't find it odd," but now dahill hasvotedover this? What the heck? There is no case being made, this vote is based on a person's explanation for a random vote?
the random stage definitely matters. and if think that it's only purpose is to joke around, then you really need to think things overIsacc wrote:(it was in the random vote stage, who cared?)
well from scum perspective, they don't want to attract votes and kmd admitted himself that he believed he would receive votes if he bandwagonned. of course, i don't want to lynch kmd or have him claim right away over only that, that'd be silly. however, it was one thing of note that had stuck out to me, and i thought it was deserving of a vote. i'm not going LYNCH LYNCH LYNCH, but rather trying to show others (such as Isacc) my points. think of it more as a pressure vote.caf19 wrote:I don't really see why town or scum would 'feel the need'. My take on the matter is that it goes down as a minor point against Kmd for being too apprehensive - but this is the sort of point that gets noted down and returned to later when necessary. It's not worth immediate voting and willingness to lynch, so I'm confused as to why you (and Darox) are treating it in this manner. More worrying still is your lack of reasoning to go with the confirm vote, as if it were obvious why he should be voted for. Sorry, but it isn't. Care to elaborate?dahill1 wrote:i'm not suspicious of kmd for voting zazie. again to everyone reading,it's not because he voted for zazier. however, his explanation of (this is an indirect quote) "btw it's not to bandwagon her" struck me as strange and unnecessary, and i find that scum would be much more likely to say something because of their mindset. please answer this: why would town feel the need to include saying that it wasn't to bandwagon?
to start, he continued to focus more on the fact that i was attacking him for voting zazier, which i had (clearly IMO) shown that i was not. this is a weaker point, and i could understand people disagreeing on this. next, however was him being hypocritical. he's making it out to seem like he was the "serious" one (while we were all joking around) who wanted to scumhunt, while in fact he too was messing around. this one just feels wrong to me.Kmd4390 wrote:I've given the most explanation I possibly could. I was going to vote Zazie, saw some votes already there, and voted anyway. There is nothing behind the Zazie vote.
I do like the fact that we are actually discussing who could be scum now, and not just being random.
different strokes, etc.Plum wrote:I honestly do not get any scumvibe off of that. You might, Dahill, but I don't. Might just be me, but I read that as 'Vote Zazie. RVS explanation: My own custom of voting her, though apparently there's an unrelated bandwagon on her as well, how fun'. I understand you're getting a scum-vibe off it.
they wouldn't? i don't know about you guys, but i sure would so i could catch them. i agree with you, voting someone for "bandwagonning" after only placing the 3rd vote is stupid and i wouldn't vote someone for doing that. but the hypothetical townie in this example is nowhere close to being lynched, so why would they fear a couple votes?Isacc wrote:Why would a town feel the need to say it wasn't a bandwagon? Well, a town wouldn't want an opportunistic scum to jump on them.
it's specific to this situation wherein he looks (at least to me) like he's trying to avoid votes.Isacc wrote:Why is it weird to you that a person explains their actions as they do them? How in the world does that make it scummy?
again, votes definitely can provide significance, especially in these types of games where there appears to be a wealth of role-related knowledge that different people have.Isacc wrote:And yes, the random voting stage matters, but not for the reasons you're trying to say. The votes themselves will rarely ever provide any significance (they are RANDOM).
and how will it lead into non-randomness without a significant event occurring? :teach:Isacc wrote:The random stage is valuable in that it leads to non-randomness.

A. My reasoning WAS that I always vote her.

true, he did taunt you but i don't consider that scummy.SlySly wrote:Well, seeing how there are multiple players doing it, and I don't understand what any of them are saying, it is hard to narrow it down to one.dahill1 wrote:/agree with Issac
don't like sly's "foreign languages are scummy" policy at all
also sly, if you believe that the different languages are scummy, shouldn't you be voting someone who is doing so by your logic?
It is good to see that my foreign language stance has sparked a little conversation. Hopefully, we can sniff out some scum in the process.
Post restriction is one thing, but Imaginality taunting me with it is another. I seriously doubt that there is a clause in his role that says he must immediately taunt anyone who calls the foreign languages scummy.
you keep mentioning this yet i don't see you doing anything about it besides saying "this game really needs to start".Kmd4390 wrote:Early votes don't bother me because they get the game started. Something we were in desperate need of.

sly's actions are more voteworthy than kmd's
I suggest that those voting for me look elsewhere for scum and quit wasting time on me.
great..meta defenseIn some of those games I was scum, in some I was town. Mainly, the times that seem so familiar are when I was town and being mislynched since I play by my own rules and everyone seems to think that equates to scum. Feel free to meta my games, you will see how often I have been mislynched. It is not at all surprising to me that there is a baseless bandwagon forming on me in this game already.
i hate when people do this, even in real life. i call this playing the role of the "unrecognized genius". yeah you partially got the game rolling...because you did something scummy. and then you try to play it off as "oh of course this always happens to me because nobody ever gets my point of view"Sorry, I am the shit. Sorry if the truth hurts you. My posting is pretty much what kicked this game into overdrive and I am being bandwagoned for it as usual.
