Newbie #358 - Big Trouble in Little Rome (Game Over!)

[yakult]

/confirm

[yakult]

vote: Dio

, for having the shortest name. He must be trying to slip by unnoticed. Unlucky for him, I am sharp as a tack. None of your tricks will slip by me, Dio. Don't even try.

[yakult]

Vote: Jack

A random vote at the start of a game is understandable, but a random vote without a reason at all but to put someone at two is just erotic.

It's understandable, Snoop Dogg turns me on too.

[yakult]

It's getting hot in herre.

[yakult]

Apologies for my protracted silence, i have good reasons involving alcohol, lampposts and handcuffs :S but enough of that.

So, who here is guilty? Fess up and save yourself a painful interrogation? Is it you Jack? Two votes for one person, is that the confidence of scum that powers you?

FOS: Tendril

for alleged lamppost abuse.

[yakult]

Happy to see: Tendril

[yakult]

say it how you read it. should you lynch people who are lying, because the only people who should lie, are scum.
not difficult.

Isn't this whole argument (over who may or may not have hammered someone, then consequently what was mentioned about it) getting rather far outside our mission here? Even without the context of the game, I thought Jack's comment was purely meant to be funny, rather than any sort of actual observation. Why so aggressive, BM?

[yakult]

Mafia is serious business.

[yakult]

It's a stupid method only good in games that have roles that aren't complex.

So... a-okay for this one then?

[yakult]

I suppose a bit more pressure on ElKabong to post more wouldn't hurt.

Or at all. Has he been prodded?

[yakult]

Tendril, putting someone at lynch -1 is not pressuring them to post, it is dangerous and reckless. We need to spend time in discussion; putting someone at lynch -1 just because they are lurking is either scummy or stupid.

Not only that, but earlier on you stated:

Anyway, back to finding scum....my only suspicion is on the aggression of Battle Mage, however it could be Jack playing a clevel double bluff, for now i'll hold back my vote for more discussion.

Why did you "hold back" your vote then, but you were prepared to put someone at -1 with no discussion at all? At that point, you could have put Battle Mage at -3 or Jack at -1 but you did neither. This all seems a bit inconsistent so:

FoS: Tendril

Agreed. Inexplicable behavior reeks of scum to me. Let's put Tendril at a healthy two.

Unvote: Dio

and

Vote: Tendril

.

[yakult]

Its not an excuse, its a mistake, thats why im in a newbie game, so I can learn these things.

I'm not sure that this excuse has much merit. Couldn't any scum claim this about anything? I know that's somewhat WIFOM, but I feel like you're going to have to explain your reasoning better, even if it was faulty.

[yakult]

I'm not inclined to jump all over someone for what could be a newbie mistake.

fos:yakult

not sure I liked the tone of your accusation of tendril. Tendril

did

explain his reasoning, it was to put more pressure on elKabong. He could be scum pushing for speedlynch or mistaken townie, I'm not going to assume either just yet. One thing though, generally whenever a newbie makes a newbie mistake there is at least one scum that jumps all over them for it.

I felt like my vote was better made on Tendril than on Dio, since the one on Dio was random, and Tendril is the first one I've seen to do anything particularly suspicious this game. I feel like two votes isn't dangerously high for this level of suspicion, although if it suddenly raised to three, I'd remove it, since I'm not ready to be part of a lynch just yet.
