I agree with Aster's reasoning here, I really really don't like the rolefishing Mutant is doing. It's wayyyy too early in the game for that and is not at all beneficial to town. Even less beneficial is the way in which Mutant pointed out who should be the first NK, like are you kidding me?In post 45, Aster wrote:Curious is how quickly you backtrack on asking for a roleclaim. Northsidehadn't even said a wordand you already felt like you needed to defend yourself with "no, I totally wasn't asking for roleclaims!". It gives the impression thatyou knewthat you just committed a scum action.
There is one more curious thing about asking for roles: suppose Tex would claim her role. We, as townies, wouldn't have a clue whether her role was town or not. The mafia, however, would know—and if Tex is town (like yousomehowsilently assumed in post #35), then its all the more power to them. Roleclaiming seems kinda more beneficial to mafia than to town.
I would vote you, but my vote is already on you from the RVS, so I shall do the following:
UNVOTE: mutantdevle
VOTE: mutantdevle4reals
So you acknowledge that you are unwilling to disclose your role; why would you feel that Tex may have been willing to do so?In post 47, mutantdevle wrote:Luckily for me, my placement in the list allowed me to choose my role more comfortably. Whether or not I received said role or what role I was after I am unwilling to disclose at this time.
Look at this. I mean REALLY LOOK AT IT. He draws a parallel between the two and basically says "As scum, I prefer to boost my own team rather than try to subtract from town by taking their PR's away."In post 54, mutantdevle wrote:I hadn't previously considered the possibility of scum taking roles to prevent town having them. Possibly because I'm someone who prefers to boost one's own team rather than subtracting from the other.
I would like an answer to this as well.In post 38, northsidegal wrote:wow, finally getting this started - it feels like it's been over a month since i signed up.
why did you answer it, then?In post 24, mutantdevle wrote:12 & 16?In post 18, Creature wrote:Leaving here that I detected so far one post that looks very forced and one post that looks very genuine.
Free towncred if you can find each.
Also I get the feeling this question is to just test for people who want to appear townie.
I don't like this. His join date is a month ago but he already said earlier in the thread that he has plenty of experience playing mafia, and in case that wasn't clear, he even refutes your noob claim later:
I almost think that Creature is a scumbuddy who is trying to help out Mutant, and Mutant is just too prideful to take the bait.In post 96, mutantdevle wrote:I’m familiarising myself with how things work on this site. I’m yet to complete a game here but I am currently in 3 of them. On the EE forums however I have played at least 6 games and even hosted one. The mafia culture there is a lot different though. So basically I’m not completely inexperienced and I wouldn’t want anyone to discard me as that.In post 88, Creature wrote:What I'm worried about mutantdevle is that he has no idea of how mafia works here. So I'm thinking his rolefishing is town motivated even if it's pretty bad.
I don't like how Wilky is willfully ignoring the rolefishing issue which has generated so much discussion otherwise.In post 102, wilky wrote: I told you that scum participated in the draft... Surely that's better than saying look at the setup
Firstly, you played a "I don't know how this setup works" trick to look more town, then you took the conversation off topic and tried to keep it off topic, seems scummy to me.
VOTE: Chip butty
I don't know how I feel about this, he acknowledges the issue with Mutant but it seems obligatory, like he just has to acknowledge what's going on.In post 108, Chip Butty wrote:If i had to pick 3 right now:
Wilky for being squirmy and casting a defensive vote.
Mutant for blatant and ill-advised role fishing.
Aster for too much setup spec.
In no particular order yet...
Can you explain this a bit more? These are both RVS votes, surely your reads have to have developed a little more since then. Also, why are you just now answering this question, which was already pointed out by Mutant as seemingly obvious fishing for towncred?In post 118, Creature wrote:Seemed forced.In post 12, Aster wrote:VOTE: mutantdevie for bandwagoning.
(This is totally unrelated from my fear of mutant zombies.)
Seemed genuine.In post 16, CommKnight wrote:VOTE: Pisskop - One scum in the group of 1's for sure.
Also holy shit, look at that. I managed to pick the one number that wouldn't screw me and someone else over.
