NY 171: An Education in Telling Jokes (Game Over!)

[Green Crayons]

Oh I got another town read. All votes on Zekrom are bad and you should feel bad.

This is your only post. What are your other town reads?

[Green Crayons]

Oh, I see my mistake. That's what I get for going through each option of the display posts by user list.

@DeathNote:

All three of those posts that I quoted- 15, 20, and 34 had one common factor and that was him pushing mislynches, even if it was in a joking, "weird" way. You want to mess around like that once, fine... but when you consistently posting in an anti-town fashion, the I feel that warrants a vote.

Why do you think scumminess is the reason why people don't post Super Serious in the first 35 posts of a game?

I don't think this is how I would have worded this question but I think I understand what you are asking? Would you agree that most players play differently as scum then they would as town? That is how they are normally found out. Some players even go to extremes by posting in a drastic fashion. For example, I tend to be slightly less aggressive as scum while posting more nonsense. My extreme is spamming posts while be unsure of what I really want. I have seen other players not post at all as scum while being active as town. Everyone's play style is different but I suppose that's common knowledge right?

In this case, I see his erratic play and "sarcastic" mislynch push as scummy because he is playing to an extreme.

The point of my question gets to the bolded part of your post: why do you think erratic play and "sarcastic" mislynch pushes that happen within the first 35 posts of a game are attributable to scumminess rather than, say, stupid and typical RVS behavior?

[DeathNote]

Because its excessive?

[Marquis]

You came into the game trying to find a serious lynch to push when we were still mostly in a fun little RVS session. That's like walking into a circus and arresting the clown for assault and battery.

Antiprod reading today

[Marquis]

Not that I mind comparing myself to a clown, mind you.

Still, you should really stop making something out of nothing. You just said players react differently- that's wonderful. But me reacting differently from whoever you compared me to makes me scum pushing for a clearly RVS mislynch? I mean, I know my power to vote and unvote must be really scary, but man, come on.

[DeathNote]

Everything stims from something. I just pushed something that caught my eye and have really enjoyed were it went.

I think you are likely scum. The same goes for Mollie who I will probably end up having to switch too because so many people find you town. Fake claiming IC muse have done wonders for you.

[Marquis]

Some of the scum "townreading" me will eventually find a way to conveniently retract their read. So don't worry, not all hope is lost!

yeah anyone who reads you as scum has to be scum, right?

I can't keep track of all the players in this game. Sorry but going to have to find myself a smaller game.

[Zekrom25]

any thoughts ?

[Untrod Tripod]

@pisskop why are you suggesting a mis-lynch

RVS: Random Voting Stage. Most Mafia games start with a phase wherein people vote for silly reasons,

until someone slips up or makes a legitimate accusation.

This is a sentence.

explain what your point is

mollie what are your thoughts ?

@pisskop what are your thoughts ?

any thoughts ?

do you have any thoughts, or are you content to just feign activity until you eat a vig bullet or some rope?

[Porochaz]

@tman2nd what are your thoughts on mollie ?

mollie what are your thoughts ?

@pisskop what are your thoughts ?

@Zekrom what are your thoughts?

Your weird response to pisskops early vote on you is also noted.

[PeregrineV]

Gonna start with the past-past Nikanor reads,

@Mollie-

Why do I think you are scum this game? Is that feeling strong enough to lynch you today?

Vote: Gooner

[Gooner]

btw the video in 300 is frikkin hilarious

Could you comment on my response to your criticism of my GC case.

[Gooner]

Peregrine, are you a Spurs fan?

Now GC. He's been active lurking up to this point. I mean read his ISO. It's all lovely blending into the background, not doing anything to push the town along type scum. The type of player you don't really tend to notice until the end of the game when he's revealed as scum. Fortunately, I have a lot of experience with this type of scum and have grown accustomed to spotting them from a mile away.

[RadiantCowbells]

VOTE: PeregrineV

Making a show of his scumhunting, instead of being focused on the actual results.

Yes, I am. Insomuch as I don't follow basketball much, gotta support the home team.

This intrigues me. Since I have about 1 post where I've said anything that is remotely scumhunting, I'd like to hear about the show vs the results.

Didn't realise that this had started. Will catch up and post now. For now FOS: any Spurs fans.

VOTE: Green Crayons

I felt his vote on UT was just as bad as Zekrom's but Zekrom's the one getting all the heat for it. Best I have at the moment.

*Groans*- I hate Day One, particularly early Day One.

Mollie's a slight scumread. Lots of posts with little content always makes me want to start poking people and seeing what happens.

By the way it would be really nice if people actually explained their votes in this game. It makes it so much easier for other people to read you and for you to read other people if everyone does this. It simply makes games more fun to play and far harder for the scum to win (which is always a good thing).

Otherwise we might as well just roll a dice to determine who to lynch.

Read, I'm caught up and very little of any use has actually been said up to this point.

Oh I got another town read. All votes on Zekrom are bad and you should feel bad.

Slightly creepily that line has become a bit of a catchphrase on the other site where I play Mafia.

But yes the sentiment is one I definitely agree with. It's why my vote is on GC at the moment.

Hey, look. Posts.

...what?

unvote vote Marquis

Seriously though, UT's vote on Marquis is really awful.

Vote: Untrod Tripod.

Vote: Untrod Tripod.

bitch please

@Tripod Do you want to explain your vote?

@Tripod Do you want to explain your vote?

Do you want to ask everyone else to explain their vote, or have you already chosen today's mislynch?

UNVOTE:
VOTE: tman2nd

aaaaaand Marquis is town. town block party!

unvote vote tman

Thus: VOTE: Tripod

Pacman, could you explain why this post gives you a townread on Crayons? I assume you were referring to this in your original post.

Yet another post the entire iso of someone post by Prozac.

Does anyone actually read those quote walls?
