Mini Normal 1809: Game Over

Grendel · Post Post #100 (ISO) » Thu Jun 30, 2016 9:49 am

As this is my opening post I just wanna say that I look forward to matching wits with you all!

Anyone up for some questions? I tried RQS in my last offsite game and it got some pretty good discussion going. I know it’s not very popular here, but

I at the very least

prefer it over RVS.

1) Do you prefer to play as Town, Mafia, or Independent?
2) What is your favorite role?
3) What are your strengths as a player?
4) What are your weaknesses as a player?
5) Do your strengths and weaknesses change with your alignment?
6) Do you believe in having a D1 trust/buddy? If “yes” who here would be your D1 trust/buddy?
7) What is the story behind your current avatar picture?

Incase you're wondering, yes, I do have some reasons backing some/all of these questions. And I'll explain them once I get some answers.

Unsure I trust man-eating monsters.

Congrats on being the first person in this forum to RVS vote me for the mythological origins of my username.

What are your thoughts on the current game state?

@Elyse

read people jesus fuck
But what you said didn't disprove what Hoopla was saying. Hoopla said that cmit is an overeager newbie trying to figure out what the town should do. You said scum are more likely to massclaim D1. That only makes sense if cmit is suggesting massclaim D1.

yeah okay I'm wrong

RQS does not provide any useful content as all of it is alignment irrelevant.

RVS is alignment relevant.

Okay, how is a random vote alignment relevant when it is random?

Random implies their is no logical basis behind it right?

I think questions are good because it forces scum to take multiple stances early on. Thereby increasing the chance that scum trip over themselves.

I already explained I have reasons, but if I explained why now then it'd defeat the purpose.

I would say the same of early game joke posting, and RVS.

I'm disappointed that you feel that way, but I'm not offended. Thanks for the apology anyways though.

You are directly interacting with a player. And the thought is that RVS is never truly random.

BBmolla · Post Post #113 (ISO) » Thu Jun 30, 2016 10:18 am

Unless you random it with a dice, then it's pointless.

But that also could say the player is nervous about RVS and trying to avoid it.

I don't see how theory/alignment irrelevant questions will cause scum to trip over themselves. It'll just allow them to post fluff content without getting called out.

^ this.

I wish I could get more answers to my question... when do you think we should mass claim.

Why can't I engage with somebody if I like/dislike their answer to a question? Does that not count as interacting?

If it isn't random then calling it RVS is an awful misnomer.

Getting me to explain the intent of the questions before their answered certainly would render them useless.

I'll play your silly game.

1) Scum all day errday.
2) Nexus (that also redirects NK/vig shot)
3) I'm easy to read as town if you're not an idiot (thus hard to mislynch)
4) Finding scum. They're my people, yo.
5) Yup.
6) I think that answer is already pretty obvious.
7) Refer to username.

Analyze me, Sherlock.

Grenadel, how useful is debating somebody about their opinions that are going to be the same regardless of alignment?

How useful is it to debate the merits of a position when both parties are predisposed to reject the logic of the other?
