Just a warning that I might go on V/LA this weekend. Not yet, but this weekend.
I think I will, but I will try to post. I just can't be relied upon.
It's my 21st birthday tomorrow. Haha.-

becuase if we had multiple votes it would only take a couple of misguided townies, or the scum team, to lynch someone!OhGodMyLife wrote:@scotmany, what are you thoughts on moz? What do you make of moz and meransiel's interactions?
@moz, I'd always like to have multiple votes. Why wouldn't you want extra votes? Calling it "hysterical" is not really an argument.
absolute power corrupts absolutely etc Or, in american terms, the "checks and balances" of this game is one vote each -so one individual can't wield any more power than anyone else.
More practically, I was just trying to say that flinging mud at a lot of people is good for scum at this point, as it ups the paranoia and increases the chances of a mislynch. Hence "wishing i could vote for four people" isnt really helpful.You've reached that age, Listy. 24, 25...Your muscles give up, they wave a little white flag of surrender and without any warning at all, you're suddenly a fat bastard...-

VERY happy with where my vote is at (Meransiel) due to the rolefishing that just went on in 79. Yay for IIoA, defending a scum-lurker-buddy (most likely) and rolefishing within the first 4 pages of a mini theme. I don't know if this could get any easier.
@Blen: What problems are you referring to? Why are problems worthy of a vote?RAWR!-

Code? Are you kidding me?
Don't you see the cake next to my name?
I'm going v/la essentially but will try to post a bit. Don't you want to be notified of that?
Birthday sex > mafia games.
Find the code in that.-

By the way, he is flaking, not lurking. Huge difference.
@Amrun: You can use something like that to make up an uncrackable code, also, the weird phrasing, also, the repetition of "weekend".Voltaire fan. (yes, both of them). If you are a fan as well, pm me, and we'll converse for hours about why they're awesome.-

Moz is all over the place, and isn't a bad place to put a vote. As far as meransiel and moz go, I can see them being scum together. Him say he would probably unvote him, then leaving his vote on him two hours after that (using gut as his justification) is strange.OhGodMyLife wrote:@scotmany, what are you thoughts on moz?

Oh, and Meransiel accusing Amrun of posting in code is ludicrous.-

You guys I'm totally zonked on Nyquil and should have fallen asleep like an hour ago but doesn't this just seem really.. obvious? I mean. So obvious. Moz and meransiel. Everyone weigh in on them. Is there something funky going on here or what?
Psst blenblen try again, calling their posts fluff is itself more fluffy than their posts.-

Since you've brought up "IIoA" a second time just now in Post 80, Truant, please explain to me (i) what you think "IIoA" is, and (ii) how you think it applies to Meransiel.Truant, Post 55 wrote:Yeah, I believe it's commonly referred to as IIoA.
Unvote
Vote: Meransiel
I have always thought of "Information without Analysis" to be more of a scumtell when somebody makes a post thatlooksimpressive (because of the amount of work it seems that player has put into making their post), but once scrutinized, the post does not actually give that player's personal opinion on anything pertinent.
Meransiel, in my opinion, was making a "policy" argument; which almost by definition is not going to contain an "analysis" on players. My problems with his posts, on the other hand, are (i) I don't think the policy is applicable a few days after a game starts, and (ii) I think Meransiel was using the argument to make himself look Town by talking of justice and fairness."Logic? I call that flapdoodle."-

IIoA to me is a post that doesn't contain anything regarding a position taken on another player, but is used in an attempt to try to *appear* townie.petroleumjelly wrote:

(Here is the IIoA post for reference)
The reason it applies is because he's white knighting a cause that is (at the face of it) honorable/townie. However, look at the motivation behind it: townies do not know what alignment belongs to anybody else (barring confirmed masons, N0 cops, whatever else for random roles in all games) and therefore are ultimately suspicious of everybody. Not posting does not set any townie's mind at ease and voting for lurkers when they aren't in any real danger of being lynched shouldn't really bother any town. Those who do vote for them know that if there's decent content out of them then the vote is likely to be moved and there's no harm done, if they don't post they'll be replaced anyways, and if they fold under pressure and claim scum then it's good.Meransiel wrote:
Because everyone has a right to defend himself. At least, day 1-wise. You don't vote on people that don't post, you ask the mod to prod them and get them replaced. Until that happens, voting for them means voting at random. And that's fairly anti-town (though unavoidable in some cases).Truant wrote:@Meransiel: Kinda what Tuncali said, why are you defending somebody that has probably ~1/4 chance of being scum when you have nothing to prove that he's pro-town?
As such, I won't vote for someone that never posted. I suggest you don't rush with that yourself.
@mozamis: your avi is annoying.
There really isn't a downside to voting for a lurker early on; so if there isn't a downside, why would you be arguing against it? Trying to appear town by defending somebody that you know/highly suspect is town (since they aren't in your scumgroup) or defending/asking for a replacement for a lurker scumbuddy that's only going to be lowering your chances of winning are both plausible explanations for the post when you can't possibly have a solid read on said person since they haven't posted.
So it both doesn't provide anything substantial in game, and has more scum motivation than town motivation.RAWR!-

Not exactly, no. If I was mafia, keeping my head low and voting for someone who is defenseless would be the most pro-town thing to do. By defending a flaker, I'm not making myself a favor, I'm putting myself at risk. You're jumping to conclusions, as I have said.petroleumjelly wrote:Meransiel, in my opinion, was making a "policy" argument; which almost by definition is not going to contain an "analysis" on players.

@Truant post 95: All that you have said can be invalidated by me PMing a single thing to the mod. Why so much pressure AGAINST something so easy to do? Because I COULD be in team with the guy and replacing him COULD strengthen the mafia? Sorry, but the alternatives are far easier to believe.
As such, I'll kindly ask the mod to prod.Voltaire fan. (yes, both of them). If you are a fan as well, pm me, and we'll converse for hours about why they're awesome.-

This i find a bit TOO agressive, and as such, scummy. Trying to ridicule someone for wanting to be patient? Illogical. Plus a bit of "I'm experienced and you're a noob" from petrol.petroleumjelly wrote:Unvote: mozamis, Vote: Meransiel
I only regret that I only have but one vote to give. We just hit page 3. Acting like you are a fountain of virtue (by speaking of patience and equity) is really not getting you anywhere in my book. Especially since you are making generalizations about how mafia games are generally played and progress while just earlier you conceded your inexperience.
None of which looks very town to me.
