A) Random questions seem to have been more beneficial so far.Xine wrote:*do you prefer random votes or random questions?
*do you think it is good to share your town reads? how about your scum reads?
*at what point do you think it is beneficial to roll-claim?
McGriddle wrote:Let's get some input as to what you think about the Liam and Salezal interaction. If Liam get lynched today we will still not have very much information. The only thing beneficial to a mislynch is the information gained from it, and if nobody else is posting we have no information. Plus if we're all just townies bickering then that means scum is flying under the radar hard. So let's go people, let's get some input.
I think Salazel is too nervous about being lynched. If he doesn't have anything to hide, he shouldn't be nervous. Even if he might just be excited to start his first game and just doesn't want to get killed so early into it, he could still just go queue for another. We do have a long time to go Day One, though, so there isn't any need to rush his lynch through, but he's worth watching closely.Nina wrote:What is your opinion of Salazel? You've never played before either, so can you relate to his nervousness about being lynched on D1? Do you think you would react the same way as he has, under scrutiny?
1) It's very over-punctuated.Salazel wrote:So your saying that even though this is my first game EVER anywhere, that I shouldn't be afraid that Im going to by lynched on the very first day??
And that since I'm afraid that whats happening right now would happen I must be scum??
So when a IC decides that a Newb is scared in is first game ever, he must be scum? And then When an IC puts the same newb on a bandwagon and he gets even more nervous he now is playing nervously HE MUST BE SCUM! Or could it just be that Seeing as how this is my first game ever,that I'm nervous and Id rather not be lynched on my first day unless its for a good reason and AHA! he's nervous! doesn't seem like a good reason to me.
Unvote
Vote: CallmeLiamYou seem to be trying awfully hard to get me out of here because Im nervous, and I dont think that thats a good enough reason for an IC to jump a Newb on a bandwagon
Apologies, AtE = Appeal to Emotion. Funny that I should forget to explain, as I had no idea what AtE was in my first game either.Salezel wrote:@katsuki I still don't know what AtE means.
Simple, scum win condition differs from that of town. While scum requires survival to win, being townie does not require survival, but removal of scum. As such, being lynched as town, where there are 7, is not like scum, where there are only 2. Since you like looking at probability, ending up in a 1 scum out of 7 scenario (given NK) for scum is far more less desirable than a 5 townie out of 7 for town.Salezel wrote:Second of all how the hell are only scum afraid of being lynched? you have a 2/9 chance of being lynched as a scum but you have 7/9 chance of being lynched as a townie? Ive been the most scummy because im defending my self?
It was still semi rv. Nah, not really, he's a newb, I remember my first game I was soo scared of being lynched that I had to tread on ice the whole time and when anyone called me on anything I flipped (I was townie)McGriddle, I'm surprised that your vote on Salazel was a "joke," seeing as you cited defensiveness as the main reason and that is rather valid. What was the purpose of your joke vote? Do you find his defensiveness not actually suspicious, then?
I really do not like using "semi-RV" as an explaination of a vote. Seems like you are just trying to avoid liability for your vote.McGriddle wrote:It was still semi rv.

McGrid placed a vote, when questioned on the reason, for a perfectly valid vote, he changed his vote and called it a joke. I saw that as apologetic. my perception of apology was the only incriminating thing I saw. to place the original vote was fine, to move it was fine, but to excuse it the way he seemed to sent off a warning. like I said before, we don't have much to work with yet, but I wanted to get my vote out there.Nina wrote: His placement of lol still does not explain your reference to it as an apology. Once again, what did you think he was apologizing for and why was it incriminating?

2) He's trying to shame the IC and imply that he's a bully.
3) Picturing this comment playing out in person is pretty amusing.
Your preemptive defense shows that you were prepared to come in and defend yourself and every action under this cover.Salazel wrote:Seeing as how I'm brand new and am still learning I would like to vote for Vote: No lynch today
The reason I voted no lynch was because I had and still have no Idea what Im doing, Im not a fan of random voting so I voted no lynch because I thought everyone was going to have conversation to get hints or clues before voting. Instead It was just a bunch of random votes thrown about. You may think my reason's are "weak" but those are my reasons I did not read every single inch of the the wiki I read the basic roles and the point of the game for both sides.or at least until people talk some more so I at least have something to base an opinion on,
It wasn't a cover it was my first real post of the game and I was letting every one know Im new. No not almost every one is new,5 of the 9 players in this thread joined months to years ago giving you time to play other games or read threads and develop strategy's or w/e you have that lets you guys understand the game better than me only 4 of the players joined with in the last few weeks like myself so they are the ones I classify as newbs along with myself. Your right no one else has been aggressive in saying they are new like me, but why would they when I said I was new and I got jumped by people being "to new" or w/e its you guys want to call it. You guys keep saying "townies arent afraid of being lynched" which i think is stupid yeah if the townies win you win if your on the townie side even if your lynched, Big deal your still DEAD when you "win" Everyone should be afraid of being lynched only mafia should be afraid of losing.Seeing as how I'm brand new and am still learning I would like to vote for Vote: No lynch today, or at least until people talk some more so I at least have something to base an opinion on,
I don't understand how "semi rv" explains anything, because the vote you placed on him wasn't random -- it was backed up with reason that you later dismissed. I don't see how the vote was a joke, I don't see how it was random; you didn't find him suspicious but you placed a vote just when pressure was beginning to mount on him. I don't think this vote is incriminating but I do think you're being rather obscure about it.McGriddle wrote:It was still semi rv.

It's fine. I didn't like your vote at first, but I really like your explanation.Xine wrote:like I said before, we don't have much to work with yet, but I wanted to get my vote out there.
When I vote, I pretty much am conferrable with lynching that person eventually. If at any point I feel uncomfortable with my vote target getting lynched, I will unvote. As I said before, I am not looking for a quick lynch, and not looking for someone to accidentally hammer.Zed wrote: @Xine- Did it make you uncomfortable at all that Salazel was at L -1? Or is a lynch your goal when you vote?
That's awesome! but hey, what were you more sure of before, and less sure of now?Zed wrote: These recent posts have me asking questions, and less sure of things.
