Actually;
Vote: blenblen
My first vote was my random vote (i.e. I wanted to recognize a certain person, say hi, whatever) while my 2nd vote is a more serious vote. What else could it be at this point in the game?mozamis wrote:Clam yourself. You must see that voting for someone and then changing it without any reason looks a bit odd. So yes, why did you do that?
I endorse this idea/product.petroleumjelly wrote:You seem to be discounting Day Roles, as well as roles that start the game with information. But that is neither here nor there.Actually see rule 2?petroleumjelly wrote:Actually, no.
Because this is a themed game, it is actually possible for me to have information relating to BlenBlen. Which is one reason why -- rather than assuming Tuncali "has no idea how this game is played," as you claim -- I asked him his level of experience.
Anyway I'd like to think that someone postulating that you might be a cop with a night 0 investigation and with the ability to share your results in night 0 is probably very new. Didn't make it any less amusing to read tho
Amrun, I would like four votes for the following four reasons:
1.)mozamis
2.)BlenBlen
3.)Tuncali
4.)To badger non-posters (currently Magnetic & ender241)

It's more that he's one of the scummiest so far (which isn't saying a lot as we're 2 pages into it, and not everyone has posted). Therefore he's deserving of a vote to truly figure out his alignment.Tuncali wrote:I am sorry if I said something that I was not expected to say. I was just confused as to why several people were so quick to listen to petroleumjelly when he said BlenBlen was a scum. As to your question of me, petroleumjelly, I have little experience in playing this game. The game of Mafia was introduced to me by a student and it is my second game on this site after I was killed in my first one.
Ignoring the overall game-state implications of voting for lurkers; why aren't you voting at all? People are posting, what, if anything, is suspicious to you?Meransiel wrote:Because everyone has a right to defend himself. At least, day 1-wise. You don't vote on people that don't post, you ask the mod to prod them and get them replaced. Until that happens, voting for them means voting at random. And that's fairly anti-town (though unavoidable in some cases).Truant wrote:@Meransiel: Kinda what Tuncali said, why are you defending somebody that has probably ~1/4 chance of being scum when you have nothing to prove that he's pro-town?
As such, I won't vote for someone that never posted. I suggest you don't rush with that yourself.
@mozamis: your avi is annoying.
IIoA to me is a post that doesn't contain anything regarding a position taken on another player, but is used in an attempt to try to *appear* townie.petroleumjelly wrote:Since you've brought up "IIoA" a second time just now in Post 80, Truant, please explain to me (i) what you think "IIoA" is, and (ii) how you think it applies to Meransiel.Truant, Post 55 wrote:Yeah, I believe it's commonly referred to as IIoA.
Unvote
Vote: Meransiel
I have always thought of "Information without Analysis" to be more of a scumtell when somebody makes a post thatlooksimpressive (because of the amount of work it seems that player has put into making their post), but once scrutinized, the post does not actually give that player's personal opinion on anything pertinent.
Meransiel, in my opinion, was making a "policy" argument; which almost by definition is not going to contain an "analysis" on players. My problems with his posts, on the other hand, are (i) I don't think the policy is applicable a few days after a game starts, and (ii) I think Meransiel was using the argument to make himself look Town by talking of justice and fairness.
The reason it applies is because he's white knighting a cause that is (at the face of it) honorable/townie. However, look at the motivation behind it: townies do not know what alignment belongs to anybody else (barring confirmed masons, N0 cops, whatever else for random roles in all games) and therefore are ultimately suspicious of everybody. Not posting does not set any townie's mind at ease and voting for lurkers when they aren't in any real danger of being lynched shouldn't really bother any town. Those who do vote for them know that if there's decent content out of them then the vote is likely to be moved and there's no harm done, if they don't post they'll be replaced anyways, and if they fold under pressure and claim scum then it's good.Meransiel wrote:Because everyone has a right to defend himself.

Hi, I'm replacing Magnetic. I replaced in because PJ asked me to and because Shanba is totally Shibby. Let's catch us some scum.

Hi, I'm replacing Magnetic. I replaced in because PJ asked me to and because Shanba is totally Shibby. Let's catch us some scum.No, I didn't read at all, actually.I just checked the first post to see if I was in the right game, and to see if CrashTextDummie had also replaced in as PJ promised. I think PJ may have lied to me, or at least used weaselly legalese, but I'll stick around anyway. I also checked the little dropdown at the bottom of the page and saw my predecessor hadn't posted in this game yet, so I made a smart-ass comment to see who was paying attention. No one really noticed or at least commented on the fact that my predecessor never actually posted in this game. When I said I read his post history, I actually just checked his history outside this game to see why he got banned from the site.
So anyhow, I skimmed this game today and saw some mild protections and some illogical posts and some attacks on said illogical posts. And definitely some noob play--asking someone if they're the cop on the first page? Really? Kids these days.
fos mozamis omgus omgwtfsee i can throw acronyms around too.
I'll read the game more carefully tomorrow--I believe I have lots of free time to waste.Thank you, Shanba, for not making me scum.I look forward to nailing a few of these young Turks to the wall before summer dawns. Ribbit.
