Chances are that the potatoes have various triggers such as time (potato explodes after X hours), passes (potato explodes after it has been passed X times), or other completely unrelated things...

I personally want to see "Potato explodes if anyone says the name of the person holding it".

Worth a shot i guess. :P

Not sure about the second question, but i'm pretty sure that the number of passes can have an impact.

Is it better to keep the potatos moving or not?
No i reckon it's best if we keep talking for as long as possible, so Porochaz's potato blows up in his face. :D

Potatoes asplosions... I was thinking that they would happen mostly along the lines of something like after X posts or X tosses, personally.

'Course, we can only guess until we get actual pink mist. I get the feeling that this is going to be a very unusual game...

Also, Battle Mage, you talk
way
too much...
After X posts is a fun idea. I doubt it, but if that is the case, it's very clever by the Mods. :P

You think I talk too much? You clearly havent met Armlx. :P

that is, if the potatoes work the same way every day. It's possible that they get mixed up at night?

Also, i rofl'd at Wizardcat. Nothing in particular. Just generally. :D

I'm gonna risk keeping the potato for now. Until i think of something good to do with it. Other than eat it.

This is the problem, right here. What if the people with potatos don't like the wagon? What do we do?

We'll see, BM. It's not my final vote by a long shot. Maybe you'll like my next vote better. :P
in case u hadnt noticed, John already has a potato. He's a timebomb already. :P

What i suggest is we all wait for Armlx to throw the potato back at someone, and whoever recieves it, throws it back to him. Such a plan makes for a great reaction test! :D

Indeed. It won't be easy to make anything happen the way we want it to, but I think the players' potato passing patterns will play a particularly prominent part in working out who's scum.
Lol, i like the way SSF left out the Night phase there. :P

Why do you want Armlx to toss his potato and not one of the other two players?
Because presumably, Armlx won't want to keep a potato that could kill him for very long. Hence he will discard it at some point, at which time, we pelt it back at him. It's the school of hard knocks. :D

armlx suggested his plan. There's a distinction.
Personally, i dislike the use of plans in games with a different mechanic. More often than not, they are either concieved by scum, or followed by scum, and dissenters (predominantly town) end up getting scapegoated. It allows scum to ride on Armlx's coat-tails, assuming he is town himself. Brings back bad memories... :'(

It is possible (But unlikely) that JohnWells hasn't posted because he's afraid that talking while holding hte potato will blow him up.
I very highly doubt that. Let's face it, if talking blows him up, he's screwed, because he has to talk in order to give it to someone else. Not buying it.

Crazy wrote:The only problem that I can see with Armlx's plan is that the potatoes will stay in the hands of pro-town players while we're deciding whom to potato-bomb. If some of these potatoes are triggered by time, and no doubt some are, then that's not good.

I say, whomever has a potato passes it to a person they find scummy. Once we get a majority via Armlx's plan, then we can continually pass it to those select two.

It also gives a more concrete voting record for us.
Yeh, or we just forget Armlx's plan completely, and just give the potato to someone we want dead. If there is a good enough case to kill someone, im sure we'll end up passing it to them anyway. But, im not going to commit anyone to passing to someone who they dont feel is scummy, just because Armlx said so. :roll:

I think you are missing some very obvious points here. Firstly, John is NOT HERE. He won't be throwing his potato until he shows up or gets replaced now, will he? Secondly, I highly doubt Porochaz will listen to anything i have to say.

Now, a few questions for you:

1. Why do you think that it is solely my job to determine who throws potatoes where?
2. Why are you pretending to scumhunt when the majority of us are clearly still in the 'random' stage.

I wouldnt mind Armlx throwing at Porochaz. It would serve the same end as my suggestion, just with a higher risk, as i'm getting townie vibes from Porochaz atm. And Armlx? hmm, not so much.

Armlx isn't our king. The decision would be made by the whole town... and going against the majority is not a good idea unless you feel very strongly about it.
^THIS is exactly the kind of mentality i am trying to avoid. Going against the majority should not be deemed scummy, because in practice, a majority is just as likely to be fuelled by scum as it is by town. We're all individuals, and we can all make our own decisions. When you use an authoratarian system, you need a method of punishing dissenters. In this case, that means killing everyone who has an opinion that goes against the consensus. It might happen in practice anyway! But for crying out loud, let's not make it official before we even start!!!! :shock:

DUDE. TRY READING MY WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU GET A BEE IN YOUR BONNET! :D
Now, a few questions for you:

1. Why do you think that it is solely my job to determine who throws potatoes where?
What gives you the impression that I think that?
The fact that you are asking my opinion on what everybody should do with their potatoes. Nobody elses. Just mine. Now, stop completely avoiding the question.
2. Why are you pretending to scumhunt when the majority of us are clearly still in the 'random' stage.
I rarely see townies complain about a random stage being over. Why are you?
What gives you the impression that i am? :roll:
Skruffs wrote: This is pretty defensive for a simple question that you seem to be backtracking pretty hard to avoid answering. If this is the random stage, then you trying to direct Armlx is also random, which means there's no reason for you not to try to direct potatos to and from Porochaz, right?
Eh? 0.o
I dont really understand what you are saying here, but i think i can see where you're heading. If you could be clearer, that might help the both of us.

BM
How can you be?
We're in the random stage, you can't possibly be scum hunting yet, can you?
Saying someone gives townie vibes isn't scumhunting. It's the converse. Armlx is more, just incorrect. Being wrong is not inherently scummy, but it remains to be seen whether he will continue to be wrong. Continuously misleading the town IS scummy.
Korts wrote:I agree. It's probably best if the potatoes are kept constantly moving until we find a likely target for "lynch".
You are advocating a random lynch if the bombs are triggured on 'number of tosses'.

My guess is that one potato is based on number of tosses, one is based on length of time held, either by one person or from the beginning of the day, and a third is based on number of posts that have been posted, either since it's been last tossed or since the beginning of the day.
Yep, i pretty much agree with this.

Korts wrote:BM, then tell me, how is it any less random a lynch if the potatoes stay put? Assuming they are currently in the hands of valuable pro-town players, and also assuming that they obey and keep the potatoes like you imply they should, we have no chance of actually hitting scum. If, however, the potatoes are kept in motion, there is some chance that one of them actually asplodes into the face of someone we actually intend to kill.
So...you want a random kill? Are you kidding me!?
Did you actually just say that we should pass the potatoes around, because mathematically, we MIGHT hit scum? 0.o
I'd rather see the potatoes KEPT in the hands of those protown players, until we have some idea of where we are throwing them. I dont mind keeping them moving TOWARDS PEOPLE WE ARE SUSPICIOUS OF. But srsly, it seems atm we are just throwing our spuds around for the lols.

I hope you won't mind if I redirect any potatoes at you, then ;)

cos if the trigger is number of posts, our multiposting isn't furthering the pro-town cause.
Actually if we follow your advice, we're probably just speeding up the town victory. :D
You can throw spuds at me if u liek. I wont hold it against you, as long as you keep making me laugh :)

isnt the fact that it is possible enough? 0.o

The fact that it is possible is not equivalent to "a strong possibility", so no, it isn't.
Ok, how about if i said i am 99.9% certain that number of tosses has an impact on when the spud blows up? :roll:

I suggest throwing the Potatoes around be cause its the only action that has any real weight behind it. Votes don't have any consequence because he have no real way to put a majority choice into effect. Being in possession of a Potato could lead to death for the possessor and so the passing of Potatoes is something on which we can judge people.

Every time you pass a Potato you should be able to give a reason for your choice of target. As such I'd like to know the reasons for the choice of target from those who have thrown their Potatoes in the last few pages.

Whether I give a reason or not, that leaves a valid papertrail. IE scum are goign to more likely throw it to townies, and not each other, because throwing it to each other leads to a much more likely case of fatal bussing rather than quasi distancing.

Again, encouraging people to hold onto an exploding potato "Unless they have a good reason", is, well, encouraging players to be sacrificial.
Happy scumday man. Can i take a wild guess at who you 'think is the most suspicious'? :roll:

punishing lurkers in this game will be important, because obviously they will not leave a trail as Skruffs pointed out. Then we are left with active players who we can actually analyse.

I think you are missing some very obvious points here. Firstly, John is NOT HERE. He won't be throwing his potato until he shows up or gets replaced now, will he? Secondly, I highly doubt Porochaz will listen to anything i have to say.
Completely avoided the question.
Do you think Armlx should throw to Porochaz?
DUDE. TRY READING MY WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU GET A BEE IN YOUR BONNET! :D
More avoidance of the question?
Your response to "Do you think Armlx should toss to Porochaz" is, "John is not here" and "I doubt Porochaz will listen to what I have to say"... but nothing, no part of your answer, says, "Yes, I think he should" or "No, I think he shouldn't"...
Hmm. Not sure what secret hidden cryptological puzzle you have imbedded in your post, but I Really don't see a valid, direct answer to the questoin.
OMFG. I dont even know why i'm dignifying such blatant playing dumb with a response. I cant bottle-feed you for the entire game Skruffs. If you seriously scan every post you try to criticise, you'll NEVER get a good outlook on the game. I've already answered your question, and if you'd been reading properly, you'd see it. I suggest you reread my recent posts and then you can come back and apologise for making a fool of yourself and irritating me.
Now, a few questions for you:

1. Why do you think that it is solely my job to determine who throws potatoes where?
What gives you the impression that I think that?
The fact that you are asking my opinion on what everybody should do with their potatoes. Nobody elses. Just mine. Now, stop completely avoiding the question.
I'm not asking your opinion; you've already given it. I'm asking the basis for your opinion. Why one polayer and not another, why throwing to this player and not another, etcetera. Trying to twist what I am saying and asking you into some sort of ultimatum is pretty last-year's-playstyle for you, BM.
You still haven't answered my question. Why are you apparently trying to attack me, whilst completely ignoring everybody else?
2. Why are you pretending to scumhunt when the majority of us are clearly still in the 'random' stage.
I rarely see townies complain about a random stage being over. Why are you?
What gives you the impression that i am? :roll:
If you liked it, you wouldn't be asking me why I was doing it - you would be doing it yourself or encouraging it. But I do like how you returned an answer to me that you yourself claimed was an 'avoiding the question' answer, which was itself a mirror to the FIRST answer you gave me. Now that you have confirmed that you are intentionally avoiding questions I am asking (And for apparently no reason), I am happy to see you baptized in a Trial By Potato.
Lol, so because i'm far from impressed by your poorly thought out, and ill-timed attempt to attack me, you are happy to see me die? Jesus christ, that is poor. Forget me for a second. You have declared somebody scum when we have barely started. And why? Because you immediately jumped on them, they argued back, and you tunnel-visioned them ever since. And you're surprised that i'm unimpressed by your play? Even if i was scum, the fact is, you have no case whatsoever, and appear to be making this game into a personal affair as opposed to an objective game. Hell, i may have been a little hard on Armlx so far, but i haven't gone as far as to say that he's definite scum. Equally, i'm still unsure about your affiliation. I think it's more likely than not that your attack on me is merely a personal thing. You jump at shadows from me, in the desperate hope that you can get me lynched as scum. It's a null tell i guess. Although the fact you are hurting the game by trying to kill someone for personal reasons rather than for game-related things, and are trying to kill someone because YOU made a mistake, is not helping the town, and thus, scummy. Now we've just got to try and judge whether you are a foolish townie, or an exceptionally arrogant scumbag.
I wouldnt mind Armlx throwing at Porochaz. It would serve the same end as my suggestion, just with a higher risk, as i'm getting townie vibes from Porochaz atm. And Armlx? hmm, not so much.

BM
How can you be?
We're in the random stage, you can't possibly be scum hunting yet, can you?
Saying someone gives townie vibes isn't scumhunting. It's the converse. Armlx is more, just incorrect. Being wrong is not inherently scummy, but it remains to be seen whether he will continue to be wrong. Continuously misleading the town IS scummy.
That's like saying an insane cop is scummy, if their results lead to lynches.[/quote]

Umm, no. An insane cop does not DELIBERATELY mislead the town. There's a discernible difference.
And if you were really against players being wrong, you wouldn't be so brash as to tell other players where to toss their potatoes.
Lol, how quaint. You ask me to tell someone where to toss their potatoes, i do so, and then you call it a scumtell? Are you for real?? 0.o
Skruffs wrote: This is pretty defensive for a simple question that you seem to be backtracking pretty hard to avoid answering. If this is the random stage, then you trying to direct Armlx is also random, which means there's no reason for you not to try to direct potatos to and from Porochaz, right?

There should be more Kuribo hate.
If you read what i said, you'd know that wasn't the case. I'm saying that because a significant factor in when the potatoes explode is NUMBER OF THROWS, we should not just throw them around for a laugh. If we throw a potato, we should actually be ready for the recipient to possibly die. Do you feel we've had enough discussion for Day 1?

*TSS Hate*

Agreeing with Skruffs instantly makes you wrong. :D

Now he says if he's ever passed one, he'll throw it immediately?
I retract my last comment. If this is the case, Skruffs WAS right earlier in the game. Apparently he then realised that if the town holds onto the potatoes and discusses the game, it will give him more chance to slip up.
That's a very well spotted inconsistency Crazy! :o

Your long post, which incidentally you posted twice, is giving me very scummy vibes. I'll be looking at it closer a bit later to see why. As of now, your reply to Skruffs is just confusing. It feels like you're caressing my brain with half a brick.
Yeh im not sure how it posted twice. Normally after i post it send me straight back to the thread. But ah well. If the Mods want to delete it, they can.

I think you are missing some very obvious points here. Firstly, John is NOT HERE. He won't be throwing his potato until he shows up or gets replaced now, will he? Secondly, I highly doubt Porochaz will listen to anything i have to say.
Completely avoided the question.
Do you think Armlx should throw to Porochaz?
DUDE. TRY READING MY WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU GET A BEE IN YOUR BONNET! :D
More avoidance of the question?
Your response to "Do you think Armlx should toss to Porochaz" is, "John is not here" and "I doubt Porochaz will listen to what I have to say"... but nothing, no part of your answer, says, "Yes, I think he should" or "No, I think he shouldn't"...
Hmm. Not sure what secret hidden cryptological puzzle you have imbedded in your post, but I Really don't see a valid, direct answer to the questoin.
Here, Skruffs has a point. You don't answer the question at all, your reply includes opinions about John and Porochaz, but the question was about armlx. When asked again, you point at your initial reply, which, as I said, doesn't include an actual answer.
Korts, Korts, Korts...
*sigh*

Perhaps you should do as i bade Skruffs do, which is READ THE ORIGINAL RESPONSE I MADE.
No, not just the section Skruffs decided to quote. The ACTUAL POST i made. Because, guess what, kiddo? I answered the question in that post. Sadly though, because Skruffs is not reading, or thinks everyone else is incapable of reading, he has decided to ignore this itsy bitsy little fact.
Christ man, gullible much? 0.o
An apology from you would be appreciated too. Especially because you should know me better-regardless of affiliation.

Now, a few questions for you:

1. Why do you think that it is solely my job to determine who throws potatoes where?
What gives you the impression that I think that?
The fact that you are asking my opinion on what everybody should do with their potatoes. Nobody elses. Just mine. Now, stop completely avoiding the question.
I'm not asking your opinion; you've already given it. I'm asking the basis for your opinion. Why one polayer and not another, why throwing to this player and not another, etcetera. Trying to twist what I am saying and asking you into some sort of ultimatum is pretty last-year's-playstyle for you, BM.
Here, you initially tried to misrepresent Skruffs; his motives for asking were pretty clear, given that it was after (and in reply to) you (I assume jokingly) proposed that either armlx throw a potato at Porochaz or vice versa. His question of "what gave you that impression" is fully justified IMO.
You feel an attack based upon what you yourself deemed a joke, is 'fully justified'? It seems to me, from where i'm sat, that Skruffs is merely focussing all his attention on trying to construct scumminess from me, rather than actually scumhunting. Or do you disagree?

2. Why are you pretending to scumhunt when the majority of us are clearly still in the 'random' stage.
I rarely see townies complain about a random stage being over. Why are you?

If you liked it, you wouldn't be asking me why I was doing it - you would be doing it yourself or encouraging it. But I do like how you returned an answer to me that you yourself claimed was an 'avoiding the question' answer, which was itself a mirror to the FIRST answer you gave me. Now that you have confirmed that you are intentionally avoiding questions I am asking (And for apparently no reason), I am happy to see you baptized in a Trial By Potato.
Your hypocrisy here is the point I agree with.

Of course, there are points in Skruffs post that are just pointless arguments which I don't care to list because I'm too lazy; plus I don't follow how you've confirmed that the potatoes were in pro-town hands. But that doesn't change the fact that Skruffs has some valid points against you.
Erm yeh, in case you hadn't noticed, the fact i copied Skruffs' line was actually meant to be ironic. Hence it being the same word for word. :roll:
Now in what way do you feel i have avoided questions?

I wouldnt mind Armlx throwing at Porochaz. It would serve the same end as my suggestion, just with a higher risk, as i'm getting townie vibes from Porochaz atm. And Armlx? hmm, not so much.

Also, I totally forgot that BM said his PM says number of potatos is a trigger. That changes things and we should probably be a bit more careful who we throw to.

BM- What personal reasons does Skruffs have for attacking you?
Number of potatoes? Dontcha mean number of throws? ;)

The reason Skruffs put forward himself was Food Fight Mafia in which he argued against me for pretty much the whole game, until he got killed, and i went on to win the game (which started with 30 players) alone, as an SK. :D

Its far from the only game where we've...quarrelled, but its the example he seems to be drawing from. Ironically, we are also joined by DGB, who moderated that game, and probably has the best meta stance here. Even so, her post seems more than a little opportunistic, and it's exactly what i'd expect from DGB-scum too. So probably a null tell, but i cant blame her for trying :P

It's this post which makes me think Armlx is probably town. Q21 is obviously town. I'm pretty torn about Skruffs' death. Its never good to lose a townie, but 1 as anti-town as him? It was bound to happen, and perhaps now we can move on...

This is a scummy post. Not simply because it suggests killing me, but because what is suggested has a lot of potential to kill absolutely nothing but townies.

If you're telling me you have no scum reads on anyone, you're lying. They will not be as firmly grounded or deeply rooted as in a regular game, by the nature of the death mechanic where people find suddenly that they have made unilateral executive decisions, but it is
a scum read
, and that means by definition that you are prepared for the person to maybe die. Not as much as you would like to be prepared, maybe, but more than you should be prepared to die yourself.
That's not what i've said atall. I'm saying that, the little bout of throwings we had earlier, was clearly random, and not largely based on suspicions atall. It's probably a good idea for one of us to keep tabs on the number of throws each potato has had so far. Any volunteers? :P

Good work on the potatos. I doubt they will all be controlled by number of passes though. That's too easy.
not exactly. But my disruptiveness is pretty much a null-tell, as Armlx well knows from his rather extensive experience playing with me.

I'm interested to see where Armlx pelts his potato. In fact, i'm just interested to see whether he practices what he preaches. :P

I'm certain that is has some significant impact at some point. I cant say which potatoes, or how many, are affected by this. But i'm guessing a fairly significant proportion are.

I think the risk from holding a potato is lower than the risk of having one thrown at you.

Both are connected. If we know a trigger, then the one triggering a potato on a townie has some explanation to do.
Triggering a potato by choice is one of the scumtells that we're looking for.
But there's nothing that says the potatoes will be the same every day, or that the triggers will be every day.

So, again, the speculation is pointless.
We will see that if we get another Russet Potato. They have a name for a reason, until I see otherwise, I think we can assume that the triggers don't differ. Otherwise, this game would just be a bucket of randomness.
Actually, i was thinking the same thing. The Mods emphasised that we may not get the same potatoes again, which seems to suggest that the potatoes have constant properties (otherwise, why would the name matter).

What i dont understand is the bit in italics. Can you please explain?

You and I both know thats straight up WIFOM.
To an extent. But its unrealistic to disregard things as WIFOM and suggest that they have no significance. You are pretty familiar with the way i play. Certainly you know enough to know that i've played like this as town before, yet you, like Skruffs, seem to want to play the meta card. Of course, i've played like this as scum too. But if you take a look at my play across my 85 completed games on site, you should get the overview that in fact, as scum, i tend to lie lower, and ideally, stay out of focus. Doesn't always happen, but i can assure you, thats always my goal.
people just throw them to keep themselves safe (which isn't a scum tell either because nobody wants to die).
Except it is. Scum are much less willing to endanger their life for the group then town simply based on the fact each scum is more valuable to their team.
I see this argument put forward by alot of older players, and it never ceases to irritate me. I dont see how you possibly hope to gauge how much people want to live. I tend to find i hate dying in any games. As scum, because it means the team is a man down. As town because it means the town no longer benefits from my infinite wisdom, and quite possibly that we've wasted a lynch.

But the major flaw in this argument is that we dont know how these potatoes work. How the hell can you conclude that people who throw potatoes quickly are more likely to be scum, when we have no real evidence to suggest that holding onto a potato is dangerous!? Frankly, if i was scum, i'd be just as concerned about throwing a potato as holding it, because in throwing a potato, you draw more attention to yourself, and can often invoke OMGUS, not only leaving you with the potato at the end of the day, but with the risk that you will die as a result of the 'No. of tosses' rule we
know
exists.

Sure. If someone blows off a potato with a known or at least assumed trigger on purpose, he'd better have a good reason.

Examples? And quite frankly, throwing the potato early would not have dragged you out had I not been so adamant about the plan.
I wasnt aware that was what you were referring to. You are claiming that i'm being a pain in the ass because i'm not kissing yours? :roll:
I dont really think you've thought this through. Not alot of point me finding examples until i have something to defend against. :roll:

Sure. If someone blows off a potato with a known or at least assumed trigger on purpose, he'd better have a good reason.
I think anyone who throws a Potato anywhere should have a good reason.
I said this like 10 pages ago.....
And i said it almost word for word on the last page. This isnt a competition, and Q21 is probably town in my eyes anyway.

You do realize that that's WIFOM, I hope.
I do so tire of people trying to refute points by simply calling 'WIFOM' and not really explaining themselves.... :roll:

And now that I reread your sentence, am I reading it correctly and you're referencing q21's scum meta? If so, please clarify.
By that end, everything anyone says is WIFOM. If you define WIFOM by such broad terms, you can't possibly scumhunt, because every scumtell and every towntell can be declared WIFOM as 'it could have been something done by scum in order to appear more town'.

It's very weak to call something WIFOM under these terms. Not buying it.

Scum meta? I dont have the faintest idea what you are talking about....

Calling my set of beliefs inconsistent based on this instance is a bit off. Your statement registered as WIFOM. Whether it was
weak
or not, I didn't state, and weak WIFOM or strong WIFOM, it's still WIFOM. WIFOM WIFOM WIFOM. I wonder how many times I'll be using the word WIFOM. WIFOM?

But you have pretty well declared that any and all attempts to defend someone are inherently scummy. Which i find, rightly, ridiculous. :lol:

Where did I do exactly that? I just pointed out that the point on which you base q21's pro-townness is subjective at best, and not hard to be considered WIFOM.
I've challenged you to give an example. Then i'll point out where your own logic falls flat.

Not sure if this got answered, but I think it was this:

Implying that the hands the potatoes were then in were pro-town.
Not that there's any real point arguing over this, you've taken my comment out of context. The original scenario posed (i believe by Skruffs or possibly Armlx) was that the potatoes were in the hands of the protown players and that we should be throwing them around. My retort was that i'd rather see the protown players with the potatoes keep them until they have some idea about what they want to do with them.

The reason I am voting Kuribo over you is I feel my vote is needed there more to ensure nothing dumb happens.

I don't like "rofl" posts. They're the worst kind of defense you can give.

When you threw that potato at armlx, as he mentioned, were you doing so to spite his plan, or did you find him suspicious for suggesting that plan? Or were you just being silly?
All of the above. No, honestly? I cant even remember. Quote the post if u want, or i'll hook it out in a sec.

And by doing so you did exactly what kuribo did: try to buck and semblance of order. Only I actually believe what I said enough to hold the potato.
That's nice for you. I've got no issue with you standing by your own beliefs. That is, until you have an issue with my standing by mine. :x

It's obvious why you are picking on Kuribo instead of me. Because you know the case is bull, and when i DO go down, i go down making a shitload of noise. :D
If you get me killed, you can be damn sure that won't be the end of it.

I'll look into the specifics of what you are saying in a sec. For the sheer lols and ridicule of your comments. :D

Personally, i dislike the use of plans in games with a different mechanic. More often than not, they are either concieved by scum, or followed by scum, and dissenters (predominantly town) end up getting scapegoated. It allows scum to ride on Armlx's coat-tails, assuming he is town himself. Brings back bad memories... :'(

BM
This post pretty much sums up my thoughts at the time. But because you feel the need to bring up a concept which really irritates me again, i feel like another rant! :D

First and foremost, why the hell would i want to take
orders
from a guy who is as
unconfirmed
as the rest of ours, and sets out with the objective of
leading the town
?
Anyone can come up with a half-baked scheme. Does that mean suddenly we are all duty-bound to do it? I don't think so buddy!
I think it's pretty obvious why his plan is flawed. Even if it wasn't, the whole idea of mafia is that we have our own opinions. You seem to think that it's a scumtell to not do everything you are told. It's ridiculous, beyond any words. I mean, ffs dude. Do you really think that me not doing what a guy who could just as easily be scum said, is scummy?!

Order is not necessarily bad. But, as i pointed out in the quoted post, it isn't easy to attain in a game of this nature. Certainly, i'm not putting all my eggs in the basket of the majority. Remember, the majority can very easily be pushed around by scum. If we all work as individuals, whilst still taking into account each other's opinions, we will fare alot better.

I'm surprised Armlx suggested something as ill-thought out as this....actually, that's a lie. :o
It's not even a scumtell that he'd want to lead the town and boss everyone around. But one thing is for damn certain. After playing Ultimatum Mafia, you can bet your ass i'm not investing in any group strategies or half-witted plans concocted by somebody who could be scum themselves. Nor am i going to let other people, again partly comprised of Mafia, decide who i combust in a potatoey mess.

Thats where i stand. At the time, i wasnt being all that serious. It seemed pretty ridiculous that anybody would actually take Armlx's plan seriously, and rather than go on an angry rant, i think i summed up my disapproval pretty succinctly.

Now, Crazy, we come to you. I'm astounded at the irony of YOU being the one to kiss Armlx's ass, when in fact, aside from me, you are the person who i'd say most openly declared their disillusionment with Armlx's plan. Remember that time you threw a potato at me for lols? Yeh, you're a fine one to be giving lectures on systems for using potatoes, when you were the individual Armlx was trying to tackle! Are you seriously trying to tell me that when you lobbed a potato at me for pretty much no reason whatsoever, in the back of your mind, you were thinking "shit, i really wish we had an organised bueraucracy set up in order to co-ordinate our potato throwing. Ah, screw it. HAVE 'AT BM". roflmao! :lol:

FoS: Crazy
for outright hypocrisy and buddying up.

I'm not going to condemn Armlx for being arrogant and self-obsessed. That's a personal thing, and not really a scumtell. But i am suspicious of the way he actually seems to believe that everybody who doesn't follow his lead is scum. Or more the fact that he is trying to get those individuals lynched on really shoddy reasoning.

I'm pretty riled up now. So...anyone else wanna have a crack? :twisted:

a good solution might be to kill Armlx. Regardless of affiliation, it would make me very happy at this point. And it might allow me to give his plan a BIT more credibility if he comes up town. :D

It's not hot potato, it's hot potato mafia. Your attitude is kind of anti-town.

Vote:Ricetailball


Hey BM, your momma's so fact, she has her own postcode.
So fact? lol

Well, M4yhem, your momma is so fact, she's known by the locals as the 'Walking Planetarium', because she has a centre of gravity so high, that when she goes out, pedestrians (and sometimes, small cars) actually orbit her. :o

I agree voting is useless, however not for the reasons stated, I dont think. Time is of the essence. Noone is keeping account of the votes and as not everyone is talking/voting its not worth it.

Anyway I think the mod should know that BM is a high replacement risk due to the amount of knife crime in his area. Yeah ok, so Capital of Culture... however who says they arent reciting poetry when they kill you...

obv I have the right to slag BM off due to where Im situated in regards to him and that he should know its light hearted.
I don't have the faintest idea what you are talking about. 0.o

Ftr, i really like Kuribo at this point. He is making a ton of sense. I'll swiftly gloss over the fact he is pretty much parroting me. I think he feels town. (partly also because Kuribo scum doesnt post. He merely lurks and gets replaced).

Still happy to see TSS die.

You modded PresidentMaker, and I got called out for lurking and had a total meltdown, at one point refusing even to answer any questions and posting pointless drivel. Then HackerHuck refused to lynch me, the following day, Armlx lynched me, then MafiaPlayer defended me after I was lynched and flipped scum, so Armlx lynched him, and from there he lynched HackerHuck for the bad lynch a few days before.

You and I haven't been scum together that I know of.
Yeh that could be right. >.>

That's RETARDEDLY STUPID. So, if i get say 12 people voting for me, and i have a potato, you want me to hold onto it, till i die? When the alternative is me throwing it at somebody who COULD be scum, and them potentially dying? I really hope your play this game is just some sick joke and tomorrow you will pop out and say "Jk guys, PMS :P".

inactivity.
Actually, i thought Armlx held onto his potato for longer than 72 hours. Maybe it's just the baked one that has such a time limit.

What you are saying here is you think your personal choice of vig shot is going to be more informed and more informative then a town majority......
Yes, yes i do. :roll:

Of course a Vig will have more faith in their own shooting ability than the town's lynching ability. The Vig is 100% protown, and is wholly trying to kill scum. The town majority is made up by a percentage of scum- upto 49% of the total players. So yeh, i'd be fine with wasting a lynch in order for me to get another shot. And let's face it, if the town doesnt believe the 'shotgunned' kill method to be a vig, you're hardly going to credit them with much scumhunting ability, are ya? :P

Why would you kill yourself, knowing that you are pro-town, when you can throw it to someone who is possibly scum? You are putting your opinion ahead of the town's, because if the town is targetting you, and you are town, then the town is wrong.
Again, if it was a matter of you dying or you not dying and you got to choose, the answer is obvious. But if you act in that manner you will die, just as if the town comes to a majority consensus you should be potatoed you will eventually die in this game. By not self killing / holding the potato, you are only putting the town in a worse situation by making it more difficult for them to move past you as a suspect.
that is REALLY poor logic. I mean, first off, a majority consensus means f all here. Even your buddy TSS isnt backing you here, so if you really want to prove your bs, i'd love to see you put your money where mouth is. Oh, but look! As soon as you get a whiff of that potato, you're tossing it away again! :roll:

Let's face it kid, when it comes to ability to argue, you beat me hands down. The reason NOBODY here is taking you seriously? Because you are preaching such utter bs that you make ME seem logical. rofl

I see less votes on me then either TSS or Kuribo.
You yourself said that the number 2 was subject to change in the event of your plan taking place. The fact you are recieving the potato, and are, of late, the player gaining the most heat by far, should, by your own standards, be enough for you to commit suicide.

She has, and I have noted this. Kuribo comes in ahead of Riceball solely due to the fact Riceball offered up the flawed, but existant alternative of just playing hot potato over mafia.
Surely that is exactly what Kuribo is putting into practice? I dont like how you seem to be selecting the minimum number of targets, when a good townie should naturally cast the net wide. And on weak reasoning too.

How is 'playing hot potato' a viable alternative?
How is
VOTING
viable? It's an even bigger waste of time than trying to pass the potatoes around. I still don't know how you can imagine voting ever working in a system like this. The only ones who know they should work as a team are the scum, the rest don't know who they should trust, as they do not have any information about anyone else.
We don't know if the scum have an NK.
There is no lynching mechanism.
This is not kingmaker/executioner.
This is a game of hot potato where there are teams, and one of them knows who their teammates are, the other(s) do not.
M4yhem makes a valid point. I lol'd. :D

Why would the scum not have an NK? I see no reason to infer this, and it stinks of hidden knowledge. This has been mentioned before now, but who suggested it first?
