Except I never once stated my own opinion on Gurgi's claim, and, honestly, before he announced that he was serious, it looked like a joke to me. Just because something is the supposed theoretically best option doesn't mean *I* agree with it. Never said I would. What I would do depends on who I'm in the game with as I said.Falcone wrote:Reasons for my vote for Mirth:
1. She voted the mod in her first post. I realize it was a joke vote, but not making an arbitrary vote to start the game with can be interpreted as not wanting to make any connection to any other player. This is obviously a very weak reason.
2. She asked Lord Gurgi if his claim was serious or not, then before he responded, stated that it's “theoretically best” to claim at the beginning of the game as a miller, which makes me feel as though she knew the claim was serious beforehand and that she tried to lend credence to the claim. Then, after Lord Gurgi confirmed his claim, she asked for a counterclaim, which seems a very strange thing to do after a miller claim, and again has the implicit connotation of “Well, if there’s no counterclaim, I’ll believe the claim”. Since I don’t see why there can’t be either zero or two or more millers in a game (see for example this thread: http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8831), the absence of a counterclaim doesn’t tell us anything about the value of Lord Gurgi’s claim.
3. The “cult recruited” remark, which was very clearly not what farside22 was saying. This was later established to be a mere spelling mistake, which I can accept as explanation.
Furthermore, since I made my vote for her, Mirth seems to have changed her stance on the miller claim:
So first she states it’s “theoretically best” for a miller to claim at the start of Day 1, then later she states she “probably” wouldn’t do it if she were a miller herself. That's contradictory.Mirth wrote:I would probably wait until twilight day 1, claim doctor or something to get myself NKed or vigged. Depends on the other people in the game really. If they know my "no claims" playstyle, I might do a first thing day 1 claim.
Happy with my vote for the moment.
Reasons for my IGMEOY’s:
1. Lord Gurgi: His miller claim and the inevitable WIFOM that it brings with it, makes him more likely than average to be scum in my opinion. If you’re a miller and you know it, best play is, in my opinion, to try avoiding an investigation by being as pro-town as possible. On the other hand, I understand why a miller would want to claim immediately and I don’t think it’s an unreasonable play, just a less than optimal one. In one acronym: IGMEOY.
2. FaerieLord: For believing Lord Gurgi’s claim, yet failing to unvote him. It’s certainly possible he forgot that he random-voted Lord Gurgi, but it’s still worth mentioning.
Now could you and whoever else avoided my question please answer it?
Also, you're certain I'm scum after only a couple of posts, most of which were nonsense and some of which happened *after* your vote?
Nonny: I agree that shopping for them is a pain in the behind (I hate lace, *hate* padding, dislike funky colors, and hate minimal coverage bras) but once the annoying task of finding suitable ones has been achieved, they make life more comfortable, I think. Actually, I think I just hate clothes shopping in general. Womens clothing just needs to get standardized sizing in inches or something. And make stuff with bodice waistlines. Grrr...Seriously, why is everything shaped like a potato sack? (If you have issues with sizing, perhaps you should try an internet retailer that stocks larger sizes?)-

I don't. Note the question mark. No responses to the rest of my comments?Falcone wrote:

vote:MariytaThere is always something to try and make a substantial post about. You should know better than this.
Falcone: ...my asking for a counterclaim was half joking and sort of a "just in case" move...no sane person would ever counterclaim miller, but, on the tiny miniscule chance that both Gurgi was lying and there just happened to be an actual miller in the game, then we'd know one, if not both of them, would be scum, because the mod would have to be a complete bastard to stick 2 millers in a mini. Which would be a heck of a lot better than just having Gurgi announce himself the center of a WIFOM debate. However, I did not seriously expect an answer, hence the way I phrased the question with the prolonged so. FL seemed to get that I didn't really expect an answer.
As for theoretically best, well, I'm not much for theory. I don't believe in most metas, and don't think anything is a universal scumtell. For me everything is situational.-

Mariyta: you are still not actually answering my question and starting to convince me that my vote is in the right place. I asked you, as an experienced player, about your no substance comment when I voted you. You still have not responded to this despite me asking you to multiple times. Now you failed to explain what you meant by "overreact" And you "people attack me and I give up and quit" answer just now seems like a bit of a cop out, like you're saying not to attack you.-

It is the no substance thing. If you have nothing new to add, why don't you try to provoke discussion by throwing out a couple of questions? Or asking other people what they think? Or throwing out a random pressure vote on a lurker? "I've got nothing to say" isn't playing. And saying that you're scared of criticism bothers me. This game is all about criticism and questions and suspicion. So why are you treating it like a bad thing? And how to you define "overreact?"Mariyta wrote: I must be missing the question in there.
As for the no substance thing, if I have nothing new to add and I don't say anything, I get yelled at. If I say I don't have anything new to add, I get yelled at. Would you like me to make stuff up?
Farside, knowing what a miller is isn't going to give me enough experience with the role to make a judgement call... and not all "real women" are chatty. Just the gossips.
And Farside, why the voteswitch?-

Did I call her scum? No. I said that she's just giving me more reasons to keep my vote where it is. There is also a difference between avoiding conflict, which she admits to actively doing, and not having much to say.ThAdmiral wrote:
Sometimes people don't talk because they can't think of anything to say. This may be because they haven't been able to get on as much and really take a good look at the game, or because whenever they think of something to say they realise that someone else has already said it or a number of other reasons. As I said this sort of thing has happened to me quite a few times in the past; in some games I'm very talkative and in others I'm a bit of a wall flower. Basically I don't think it's a very good indication of whether someone is scum or not.Mirth wrote:Admiral: what are we misunderstanding? That she's scared of drawing attention to herself by "overreacting"? Why defend her?
(Oh, Mariyta, I'm sorry but you'll hate playing with me.)
Darla: Why don't you suspect Farside? Why say that Mariyta is suspicious but not do anything about it even if its not voting? Are you setting yourself up for a safe vote later in case the wind blows that way? Why does LG's activity make you comfortable? Can't scum be just as active?
on Meta: I try not to use it. Except very very very very rarely on really really obvious lurkers.-

Scum don't always wagon jump at random for oppurtunisms sake. I know that I don't do this when I'm scum. Neither do a lot of other players.Spacecase wrote:Yes, that does sound like a sound sound mafia strategy but, isn't there the possibility that a stalled game could work against the mafia as well. I mean if the town isn't really sure on who they want to side with, wouldn't that make it hard for them to jump onto a bandwagon?
Xyzzy: maybe it's you're gender. Maybe you should change it. It will help with the adjustment. Why is Mariyta protown?
Admiral: Mith is not in this game. I am voting her because I believe it is the best place for my vote for the time being. She is acting scummy enough to warrant attention. I cannot say yet whether she is scummy enough to merit a lynch as it is only page 7 and we spent lots of the first few pages just joking. So not very much content yet.-

Actually I don't care what you think my alignment is, I just really dislike it when people underestimate scum,regardless of what side I happen to be on. I'm not saying "I can't be scum because I'm not doing this." Very well could be regardless of what I'm doing. Just don't think wagon jumping for wagon jumpings sake is a scum tell based on both observation and personal experience. Take what you will from that.
You said before you were going to do a reread on 5 pages, why did you think a reread was necessary and what did you conclude from it?-

Your logic doesn't follow here. "It's not exactly scummy"? So actually playing could be scummy? You don't know if he's scum or not, unless you're scum yourself, so you can't say if his talking is good or bad, am I right or wrong. (And as for scum running the conversation, I don't see this as necessarily bad if it means there is at least some sort of conversation going on)
Also, why did you ignore my question yet again?-

That question. Please answer it.Mirth wrote:Why this is true, half the players are pretty much lurkers.
Sooooo throwing out a question, same thing I asked Nonny, to all of you: if you had to pick a person to lynch right this instant who would it be and why?
LG, I refuse to give a townlist as that would only help scum, and am not happy with you for asking for it. In light of the last few posts, my possibly scum list looks as follows:
Tied for 1st: Spacecase/Mariyta
Tied for 3rd: LG/Admiral (for recent post and defending Mariyta, respectively)-

Farside, I was asking him his exact stance on that, so I don't know.farside22 wrote:I wanted to reread through everything before I do a scum list and I'm a bit busy at work today. I did read just the last 2 pages and I have to say I agree with LG on one aspect. When it comes to lurkers it seems most of the time there is typically one scum amoung the lurkers. I see no fault in bringing it up and I didn't see this as something where he wants to lynch a lurker either. Mirth where do you see in his comment that he believes in lynching lurkers?
Spacecase are you always a follower? I haven't seen anything origninal coming from you yet.-

Do you have a stance of your own on anything yet? If you do, could you please share it?nonny wrote:farside: I like how you take one post and use that. I know I havn't been posting a lot but I have more than that one post. My stance on miller claim isn't strong because i've yet to have a game finsih that I was in with a miller, so I'm not even sure what my stance is.

So far you have nine posts, in those nine posts, the only opinions you have expressed are as follows:
- you dont know what you'd do as a miller or what to think of miller claims
- you dont like meta gaming
- you don't like the phrasing on one of my sentences.
- you apparently agree with Falcone but not enough to vote. (speaking of, you're not voting)
That is pretty much it. I'd like to hear who you'd vote for if you absolutely had to vote right now.-
