I'm so ashamed that people are random voting in this game, especially from some people who were in the last game with me. It's embarassing.
RVS is over, as of now. If anyone "random" votes, I will stab them in the eye. Then I will vote for them and I may not leave from my vote for the day until they are lynched from the neck.
Jase, do you enjoy having town roles or scum roles more? On an unrelated note, are you happy?
ConfidAnon, are you scum? If not, why are you lying?
Leafsnail, can you PM your scumbuddies and let them know we've started?
pman5595, why'd you do it?
My Milked Eek, how scummy do you think you'll be this game?
Kitten4u, how much have you played mafia in real life? What's one of your real life tells?
Wickedestjr, how many scumpartners do you have?
Oman, do you find happiness in receiving role PMs? Were you happy when you got your role PM for this game?
Sotty7, what's the best method for catching scum?
CrashTextDummie, how good do you think you are at online mafia?
Ellibereth, do you think lurking is a scumtell?

I'm not sure why you think RVS is a productive means of our time (that is what you're suggesting, right?). I disagree with your assessment that my questions are pointless.ConfidAnon wrote:Why are you against the RVS? And why do you think your mostly pointless questions are a better alternative?
What's silly about it?My Milked Eek wrote:That's a rather silly policy and I'm tempted to random vote.
More the latter, but primarily because it's a waste of time and usually only muddies things up. I want things to be productive. I'm also a big proponent of a diminishing point of returns with posting, and RVS is antithetical to that. On top of that, if there are people who are active early then peter out, I'd rather them be mildly useful to start, and I'm not convinced that RVS is the best method of obtaining useful information as rapidly as possible.Leafsnail wrote:Also, since I haven't played a game with you before, why do you dislike RVS? Do you fear a hammer vote could randomly be reached or do you just think it's childish?
How likely would town have had the reaction you describe?My Milked Eek wrote:
It was, but it's odd that when a little "heat" was coming her way, she immediately dropped the joke.Sotty7 wrote:

I thought it was pretty clear that Elli was joking around.
What gave you the impression that they were random?Wickedestjr wrote:

To answer Firstly, I am trying to get meaningful responses from which to make keen observations on to find the scumz for us.Wickedestjr wrote:Firstly, what was the purpose of these questions?
Secondly, if we were out of the RVS when you made your post, then why didn't you make any serious comments?
To answer Secondly, the RVS officially endedwhenI posted. My post was entirely serious business.
I </3 the Leafsnail wagon.
I don't like the feel of this post.ConfidAnon wrote:If you're going to paint me as scummy for saying "partner" instead of "partners," you're gonna have to do better than that.
I'm agreeing with pmann5595 more than I expect to. (Primarily re: Leafsnail and ConfidAnon.)
I've quoted the part of your post that is wrong. (Looks like Ellibereth agrees with me.)pman5595 wrote:

I don't like his Leafsnail vote, for starters.Sotty7 wrote:Thesp, why the confid vote?
*hifive*Leafsnail wrote:ConfidAnon - The most scummy player, in my eyes. Seems determined to kick me over small things, but doesn't seem to be making any attempt to establish whether I'm scum or not. Inconsistent motive for his original vote on me. I would like you to explain the disparity between your more recent post and the post where you voted me.
I actually thought wickedestjr as genuinely trying here, and I'm not seeing the connection between him and pman5595.Sotty7, re: Wickedestjr wrote:Feels like epic reaching to me, I see nothing wrong with the question you asked. Then he also tries to tie Elli and Leaf together with some weak distancing call. Not buying it.
I disagree - they help me get a feel on players in the game.Wickedestjr wrote:They weren't relevant to anything going on in the game.
I couldn't tell.pman5595 wrote:If nobody could tell, I was being extremely sarcastic with that vote and the comments afterward, and they were meant to show Elli how annoying what he is doing is. unvote: Wickedestjr
The Kitten4u attention is distracting from the ConfidAnon wagon, which needs more votes. I'll switch to Ellibereth if necessary. I'm down for a lurker-wagon if I have to, but I hope we won't have need of that."When playing a game, the goal is to win, but it is the goal that is important, not the winning." -Reiner Knizia

I don't find Kitten4u nearly as interesting as those on the wagon seem to. Combine that with the particular people on the wagon are people I am most hesitant about, it looks awfully bad to me. (Looks like Leafsnail also asks this - same answer.) (And Kitten4u.)Sotty7 wrote:You disliked it in the first place? How come?
Hello, Ythill! Hello Budja! Ythill, you can say hello to Budja with a vote. That's the most friendly and welcoming of approaches to meeting a new player in the game.

Sorry I've been off the past couple of days. Back to work.
I'm flattered!Ythill wrote:I'm posting in this one first because Thesp + Oman + CTD demands special treatment.
I don't - though I see what you're getting at with what you're saying. I'm not sure scum would ask such a question in thread, though - I end up drawing the opposite conclusion about Leafsnail.Ythill wrote:Most people read the rules during the confirm phase, especially if they are bored and bit-chomping like Leaf was.
Most stances he's taken in the game. I also find Oman persuasive. I also look for towntells from people, and I don't remember seeing any from Ellibereth. (This is furthered by Ellibereth's subsequent posts, but I must admit a bit of trepidation for the Budja wagon now that Ellibereth is on it.)Wickedestjr wrote:Thesp, why are you suspicious of Ellibereth?
Hi! I told my wife last night that I needed to post, but bed was too persuasive, so I woke up early to do it.Ellibereth wrote:Where's Thesp?
Really? Howso?Oman wrote:Elli why are you voting Kitten. I ask because that looks like real scumpartner behaviour there.
Looks like it's claim time for Kitten4u. I don't like either of the top two wagons, and I'm bothered that Budja and Ellibereth have no steam (though perhaps I'm partly at fault for some of it).

I know I'm behind in both of my games (work has been crazy lately, and the week has been busy!), but I intend to set some time aside this evening to play with you all.

How are you not being lynched at this moment?Ellibereth wrote:Okkkkkk, my gut now pings town on Kit for some reason. Leaving vote on for now but I still think that a Budja wagon would be good.
I'm torn here and I understand the call for a Kitten4u lynch after the vanilla claim. I still think it's a bad lynch, and there are two other very worthwhile considerations out there - Ellibereth and Budja.
He had town points?Budja wrote:..and Elli just dropped all of his town points.
*hi-five*Ythill wrote:Anyway, recent developments have given us an opportunity for good information. I want competing wagons betwen kitten and Elli. Hence my unvote; vote Ellibereth.
I have a hard time not skimming walls when replying. I read them once, but replying point-by-point is a drain on town resources.Kitten4u wrote:And with all that said, no one was really commenting on my wall like I was hoping they would.
This.Oman wrote:We have plenty of info, we have 12 pages, this is a good length for the day.
Any more and our signal to noise ratio is going to drop, making it impossible to find scum amongst the textheavy first day.
Do you think it's "not-a-scum-move" or "town-move"?Sotty7, re: Budja wrote:His turn on Kitten doesn't feel like a scum move but he really needs to get into the game here.
How? Do you have other examples? The only experience I recall with Ellibereth is very recent and very interrupted, but is extremely dissimilar to how he played when he was town.Wickedestjr wrote:Ellibereth - Despite him not contributing much, I actually have a strong town read on him.
Agreed.Oman wrote:
This feels very out of the blue. I just scanned through your posts and you call him a hypocrite once, but that's it.Wickedestjr wrote:pman looks like the best lynch to me.
Needs more Ellibereth death.

I feel that Kitten has been let off the hook because Ellibereth is more likely to be scum.Leafsnail wrote:...Huh. I feel that Kitten has been let of the hook for not doing anything in particular.
I'm down with that.Ellibereth wrote:Vote: Budja even though it probably won't happen today. I hope you guys string him up after I go though.
Agreed.Ythill wrote:Wick needs to take a seat in the hotseat if Elli flips scum. Otherwise, I'm open to look into pman more closely tomorrow. Two wagons is enough for today.
I'm having a hard time not skimming it each time I go to read it. I'm happy to re-read him during the night. I don't remember him standing out very much (which could be a sign you're right, but I will look later).Wickedestjr wrote:So... what do you guys think about the case? I skimmed through and only one person had commented.
I'm totally supportive of an Ellibereth hammer, though I am respectful of Ythill's request for this to wait until Kitten4u has posted. I wouldn't mind waiting for My Milked Eek, Budja and pman5595 to weigh in a bit more, but I'm not interested in tarrying until deadline."When playing a game, the goal is to win, but it is the goal that is important, not the winning." -Reiner Knizia

I was pretty conflicted when Ellibereth wanted to turn on Budja, I must admit, because Budja is indeed at the top of my radar.CrashTextDummie wrote:He seems to be too much on cruise control for my comfort, the fact that he agreed with the guy he was lynching (!) on who to pursue today and promptly followed through when the day started rubs me the wrong way.
ConfidAnon's contribution to the game was terrible, and Budja has kept up the pace. The Leafsnail vote from ConfidAnon was awful, as was from Budja. Budja was scum well before his hammer on Ellibereth (particularly when he distances from his own vote).

Sorry the post is 12 hours later than expected - the site was down for me last night.
Also, welcome to the game, Moriarty147!
What did you think of what he said when he placed his vote?pman5595 wrote:I don't see a problem with budja's hammer, personally. I don't view it as any different from the other votes.
I read Ellibereth as scum - I thought his disjointed play was substantially different than the immediately-prior aborted game I had been in with him. I read his sudden switch to Budja (which came with an insistence on not asserting justification, and asserting he'd soon start a wagon on Budja that never came, then was re-asserted only after he was the foregone lynch) as a possible ploy at distancing. But to some real extent, I had a moment's hesitancy about lynching the only other person who seemed to be giving Budja some mind.Leafsnail wrote:If this is the case, why were you on the Ellibereth wagon?
What did you mean when you said "Elli is clearly not-newbish just zwets-ish"?Budja wrote:I didn't like Elli's later actions and thought him the best choice.
I support the wickedestjr wagon - I want to see what comes out of it.
I'm not sure there's the dissonance there that you suggest - both assert that Ellibereth is the "better" or "best choice" lynch.Leafsnail wrote:
Yet in your latest post you seem to imply that you were pretty damn sure. Why the change?Budja wrote:Not fully convinced but certainly a better lynch than kitten.
I find this more interesting than anything else here.Ythill, re: wickedestjr wrote:1: You suspected Leaf at first but then gave him the pass because kitten was scummier but kept questioning him for awhile. Then you posted a calculated lean towards kitten-town but never really turned back on Leaf.
I don't see any problem with it - I strongly support anyone trying to encourage people to vote and wagon.Moriarty147 wrote:First person that unnerves me is Oman. It's true that being terribly indecisive Town is a bad thing. However, why are you bitching about it on D2? Why did you want K4U lynched so badly?
I'm not sure why hammering inherently means he comes under more suspicion, particularly when there are people calling for the hammer quite vociferously, as you yourself have noted.Moriarty147, re: Budja wrote:But the latter option doesn't really work, because it means puttinghimselfunder evenmoresuspicion than K4U: sure, if he went down and flipped Scum, K4U would trivially follow assuming she kept playing in the same fashion, but it meant putting himself under a lot of unnecessary suspicion when before this...he really didn't have all that much suspicion on him.
Actually, if he wants a third lynch, his best bet is to make a case, like he did. If he's just trying to stay off a wagon, he can do that easily enough with out the wall-o'-text. The primary reason I can think scum would push a third lynch when two townies are on the chopping block is to make it even harder for the town to come to a consensus, but I don't think wickedestjr is experienced enough to pick up on this strategy. I'm actually leaning more towards wickedestjr-town on this.Ythill wrote:
I don't agree with you about kitten but, even if you're right, there's a perfectly good explanation. He didn't want to be involved in a D1 mislynch (which may suggest buddies on the wagons). Do you think Wick expected the pman wagon to lead to a lynch? If not, why would he make that case and vote as town?Mori wrote:K4U is Town and Elli turned out to be Town as well, so if he was Scum, why would he try to start a THIRD WAGON when he has his choice of "delicious Townie" or "delicious Townie" to lynch?
People keep saying things like this, but I haven't felt that wayMoriarty147 wrote:I still need to reread Leafsnail. Nothing he does makes any sense really, as Town OR Scum. Argh.at all. Am I missing something?
Who are the scum that pushed the wagon away? Be specific - this is a very targetted accusation you're making broadly, and I don't like it.Sotty7 wrote:Moriarty's post would be great if I thought he was a townie. It makes much more sense that the wagon was pushed away from him because he is scum. I just don't see how it makes sense with him being town.
I woke my wife with my laughing at this.Ythill wrote:Q. How do we create a four-vote wagon and make Thesp complain?
A. unvote, vote Moriarty147
I do disagree with the Moriarty147 wagon, but you've already figured that out.
It's disturbing to me that there's not moreconsiderationfor the Budja wagon. I feel like people who are posting more are getting more vote attention, which is a bad message to be sending for this game. I'm still surprised at the Moriarty147 wagon, and I'm a little unsure how to proceed from here. I need to go hunting for others - I find myself in a weird place where I have a strong suspicion of one person left, and only middling suspicions of a number of others."When playing a game, the goal is to win, but it is the goal that is important, not the winning." -Reiner Knizia

Ugh. I hate running into this. Actually, the last time I ran into someone using this, scum was using it against me (and it was a game CTD was in).Wickedestjr wrote:Also, CTD brings up a good point regarding Thesp. He usually figures out some of the scum, but I don't think he's right about any of his suspects.
Thank you. Yeesh.Ythill wrote:No, actually he doesn't. Calling someone scum for being wrong on D1 is complete crap. Even the best players are wrong sometimes, especially in the early game. I've been mislynched by Thesp-town late game. The only reason I didn't call CTD out on this was because it didn't seem to be the heart of his accusation.
If it's between either of them, I'd vote on Wickedestjr, but I'm not convinced it needs to be between the two of them.Ythill wrote:I'm going to wait on Mori for awhile but, if the Wick wagon grows, y'all can expect me to jump on.Mod, can we get a prod on Budja?We seem unwilling to give attention to people who aren't posting."When playing a game, the goal is to win, but it is the goal that is important, not the winning." -Reiner Knizia

But that's the thing - it seems (from most people) to be directed at people who are posting more than other players. People who are posting less than others are getting slides, which encourages lurking and will kill us if we let it. We don't seem to be approaching non-contribution as scummy, and that's bad.Ythill wrote:Meh. I'm giving attention where my suspicions lie. If you think it's warranted somewhere else, I'm all ears.
Agreed.Ythill wrote:The Mori wagon isn't moving, I'm putting my vote back on my lead suspect. The rest of you should either vote one of them or get yourselves organized somewhere else.
Still leaning slightly-town on Wickedestjr. Still in the likely-town camp on Moriarty147. Still thinking Budja is scum."When playing a game, the goal is to win, but it is the goal that is important, not the winning." -Reiner Knizia

My activity will be dependent on my availability. And I have had a few stellar games where I knocked things out of the park.

This close to a deadline, no sense in my vote being all lonesome. I will gladly move it back to Fate if there's a possibility of a wagon there.

So we should wait a week? I've been pushing for two weeks and haven't gotten any traction. I'd rather push for our claims/lynch now, and I don't want to be pushed up against the deadline doing it.Sotty7 wrote:Deadline is a week away Thesp.

The last two posts from Thesp make me *raise eyebrows*So we should wait a week? I've been pushing for two weeks and haven't gotten any traction. I'd rather push for our claims/lynch now, and I don't want to be pushed up against the deadline doing it.
I think your vote on me was back when Budja was still around. Either way, it didn't seem like it was going to stick, so you switched wagons.
Why didn't you put Wicked at L-1? Especially if you want to push for claims? As I see it right now, the only reason you voted pman was because he had more votes on him.
I'm not a fan of the wickedestjr wagon, but I don't want to see stalling for a claim with him now at L-1."When playing a game, the goal is to win, but it is the goal that is important, not the winning." -Reiner Knizia

Yes. He emerged as a conceivably viable second candidate, and you move off him to a single-vote, leaving Wickedestjr as the only person with more than 2 votes. Yeah, that's a significant deflection.Fate wrote:

Also, there were other points in your post? What is it you want me to address? Why I didn't vote for Wickedestjr? (I thought I made it clear that there were others I preferred to lynch.

My apologies, I thought I had made it clear that I preferred other candidates, but that between Moriarty147 and Wickedestjr, I would vote Wickedestjr. I will vote for Wickedestjr over No Lynch as well. I find it notable that you're removing steam from the only other wagon that seems to have any decent attention. I'm still not understanding what you mean here - IFate wrote:
^No, I guess you didn't make it clear, because in this post it seems like you are willing to vote Wicked. Add that to the fact that the "point" I brought up that you should've explained was your dissonance between "close to the deadline, let's push for claims lynch." and not voting Wicked, who you said before you're willing to vote for, to put him at L-1.Thesp wrote:

I'm all for pushing for a pman5595 lynch. We've got to act fast either way. I'm kind of surprised Oman didn't put a vote out there after his unvote - what are you thinking at this point?"When playing a game, the goal is to win, but it is the goal that is important, not the winning." -Reiner Knizia

With that in mind, Vote: Fate. Your interactions with pman were all odd, and I believe pman started the day on you as an attempt at distancing. Your explanation for the end of day 2 is bizarre, and your defensive of "Oh it can't have been a bus" sucks.

See, that's part of the problem with things like this - once you're clearly self-aware of such a move, it's less useful as an indication of being pro-town.Fate wrote:You still haven't answered the question: Why would I getoffthe SK andonto my partner, Pman?
In any case, I remember when you were all like, "Hey guys, I'm just now in the game and I'm voting for pman5595" then I was all like "It's getting closer to a deadline, let's get a real wagon on pman5595 so we have a wagon to compete with wickedestjr's wagon" and then you were all like "Screw that, I'm now voting for Thesp". Good times.
Would you care to state what you think of that, or are you content to throw out vague "hmmm"s?Fate wrote:Thesp comes in and quickvotes...hmmm
This feels like a bit of a reach - I don't follow the same conclusions here. (Looks like CTD beats me to this here.)Sotty7 wrote:This also feeds into my theory that scum would not have pushed a wagon from Kitten4U over to Elli if both players were townies. I think Pman jumped on Elli taking Kitten away from lynch-1 with the hope that others would follow. Pman being new to MS wouldn't know that a VT claim at lynch-1 isn't and shouldn't be enough to derail a lynch. I think he saw strong players like Ythill and Thesp leaning away from Kitten and decided to leap himself.
I would vote Fate, but I want to hear from Moriarty147/newplayer - seeing a playerslot go for two days without posting is a bit much for me."When playing a game, the goal is to win, but it is the goal that is important, not the winning." -Reiner Knizia

I am sorry for my absence lately - life crept up on me. Anyway. I haven't seen anything interesting here at all, or anything compelling to suggest a different course. I'm happy to see Fate die, and frustrated that we're still missing a playerslot. Regardless, I don't see anything else coming out of this day.

Can we get the nightchoices, pretty please, mod? Thanks for running this game!
Thanks, but I felt it was a bit of the opposite - it bothered me that all our nightkills were townies! And I swore there would be a jailkeeper in the game up until the end, which turned out to be quite wrong.Darkstrike_11 wrote:the one thing I will say about this game is that the scum played out of their minds. They nailed each power role, pretty much, and had all the control of where the game was going. It was like watching a townie train crash in slow motion.
Every time I'd check the thread that day, I would think, "I hope they don't suggest massclaim and no-lynch", which was probably the correct play.Ythill wrote:The one place where this scum-win hinged on bad townie play was on the day after I died. It was quite obviously MYLO. Why the hell didn't someone suggest mass claim?
Doc/Cop is a pretty strong combo. If anything, I think another town role could have been added, but I don't think with Cop/Doc in the game you can take away the roleblocker.Fate wrote:That would be the only feedback I had, was that scum was pretty strong this game.
