Open 122 - Near Vanilla (Game over)

Vote: Empking

knee jerk reaction

[hohum]

Course not, I just don't really care to.

Please explain why you feel it's necessary to completely skip a whole stage of the game. Random votes certainly help to spur conversation. Everyone does it, so not complying can certainly be construed as an anti-town thing to do.

Pack mentality in this game is a good thing. It's something that scum certainly lacks.

It bores me, I like it once we get into the real game and I actually have things that I can go off to scum hunt. And no not everyone does it I've come across multiple people who don't do the joke vote stage, of course their reasons are usually different than mean but I just find it boring.

If everyone in the game refused to cast an initial vote then we would never have anything to talk about.

Boring is good. Boring is pro-town.

You're already earning scum points in my log book.

[hohum]

Oh please you're just looking for an excuse to attack me after the way I attacked you last game. Get over yourself.

You really think I'm that petty, or that you're worth stalking from game to game? Get real. I think it's you that has the ego problem.

BTW resorting to ad-hom attacks is also a scum tell.

[hohum]

I find it odd that people are attacking hewitt for not random voting. My first post contained no random vote, why is no one attacking me. Seriously, the random voting stage isn't that important. Sure, it helps get the game started, but as long as people are posting something, the game will eventually get started.

He's not being attacked just for that, at least not by me. Read my previous few posts.

That's exactly what you attacked me for, not random voting.

I'm also attacking you for the OMGUSy ad-hom attack. Pay attention, dumbass.

[hohum]

I've never been scum on any games on this community

Are you scum in this one? If so we can give you some good advice

[hohum]

Quite Honestly I am not the mafia nor have I been on this community

You realize that god can see you playing this game, right? If you're lying you best repent or roast deep in the depths of hell.

[hohum]

she should go join a newbie game if she wants to play the newbie card.

[hohum]

Post 48: How is boring pro-town? Or does boring in this context refers to the random voting stage of the game?

Boring translates to stretching the game out. The longer a game goes on the more the balance of the game swings to town. Information is a good thing, lots of it is better. Only scum would want a short/exciting/fast paced game.

Seriously, these are all questions which can be answered by ICs in newbie games. I suggest you play in a few.

[hohum]

I don't think the scum meta discussion is actually getting us anywhere. I do know if more people thought it was a good idea more than just KMD would have posted theirs by now. No need to continue to beat a dead horse.

Me personally: I think metas are more useful for establishing patterns of play for townies rather than scum if the game is played correctly. Townies have far less of a reason to lie than scum does. The very act of telling a conscience lie alters one's game play, so any meta that can be picked up on scum is ultimately skewed.

[hohum]

What are YOUR opinions on ZT. I'm agreeing with hewitt sofar, btw.

Why are YOU attempting to moderate an argument between ZT and Dej? Let them hash their shit out. We don't need someone guiding the process, asking "why, why not, what do you think, I agree with, blah, blah, blah" without actually contributing any original opinions of his own to the process.

Attempting to look busy and being busy are two different things. +scum points for you, my friend.

[hohum]

Agressive playstyle =/= insultng people so you don't have to do anythng.

Zwet, KMD are town. You're scum.

It's too early for you to be drawing such conclusions, especially since you really haven't made much of a case on ANYONE yet.

+scum points for empking.

[hohum]

Hi everyone!

Mufasa also needs to contribute more; the last post really feels like an especially bad post, saying "hi, discussion is going" while not contributing at all.

Vote: Mufasa

Do you find hypocrisy to be a useful tool?

[hohum]

Enough with the quote pyramids guys. We don't need you to rehash the entire discussion every time you post.

@Empking: We have a right to moan at you, because you making bad cases doesn't help us if you're town. You're only going to get yourself lynched.

[hohum]

Empking, don't make definitive statements like you did. The only way you can really know that is if you were scum.

Way to reiterate what everyone else is already saying. Got any original thoughts floating around up there in your head that you'd like to share with us?

Thanks.

[hohum]

Posting what I think, even if it's already been said, is better than not posting anything.

Actually posting to make yourself look busy is scummier than lurking. We're 10 pages into the day. Surely there must be SOMETHING you can comment on.

[hohum]

Unvote; Vote: Ztife

Nice OMGUS.

[hohum]

@Mod: That was a fucked up quote tag, not a vote

[hohum]

hewitt: You think "OMGUS voting" is not referring to voting?

An OMGUS doesn't necessarily have to be in the context of a vote, despite what the wiki says. The wiki is a user-contributed source of information and is based on people's opinions. The wiki is not in fact the Mafia play style bible.

There are plenty of other very widely accepted definitions for the term "OMGUS" that do not encompass a vote. It's broadest definition lends itself to what the acronym actually means in the english language, which is simply: A negative reaction to someone based on nothing more than the fact that you're the target of their scrutiny.

And yes, it is a scum tell.

Now you and zwet need to both stop pushing for quick lynches, MKAY?3

[hohum]

Hohum: You don't think that Dejhka was referrng to voting?

No I don't:

My bad, I was referring to when I was insulting you. While understandable, it was still OMGUS nonetheless.

Now STFU you stupid troll

[hohum]

Now STFU you stupid troll

no u

And I said "OMGUS voting" because your vote was based off an OMGUS reaction.

That was directed at empking, not you Dej.

@Empking: seriously, do you have to join EVERY game?

[hohum]

Nah, Dejka is actually a smart cookie. He's good to have around in a game. Empking and Zwet on the other hand are just totally useless.

[hohum]

There's a few people who have been earning scum points in my log book this game but not enough to justify a vote. Since Empking is a raging faggot anyways, my vote is staying right where it is until a better lynch target presents itself.

[hohum]

Ztife is bandwagoning.

Also, has anyone been here longer than me?

I've been here longer than you. This account is an alt. What does that have to do with anything? You could have signed up 5 years ago, but if you just DON'T get it then your experience doesn't mean squat IMHO.

[hohum]

w00t w00t

@Empking: Would be a good idea for you to
