Hot Potato Mafia - Game Over

[Korts]

Still, you're the third, as far as I care to know, therefore the potato will be circulating between the three most suspected.

[armlx]

This reminds me a lot of how people direct an active vig, and not everyone cares enough to say anything.

[kuribo]

I see less votes on me then either TSS or Kuribo.

Because the people who agree with me are probably the "fakevoting is pointless" crowd.

[kuribo]

As an aside, I hope by now, Armlx, I've actively demonstrated to you that no matter how many votes you pile on a person, you cannot force them to die.

Keep chucking me the potato if you must, I'm just gonna throw it somewhere else. That's Hot Potato for ya. Sooner or later, somebody's gonna blow up!

[M4yhem]

unvote, Vote:Armlx

Happy now?

[armlx]

Happy now?

Yes, now I can ask you why you think I am scum.

As an aside, I hope by now, Armlx, I've actively demonstrated to you that no matter how many votes you pile on a person, you cannot force them to die.

Thanks for claiming scum.

[M4yhem]

I find your tunneling on Kuribo scummy and your logic lacking.

Ricetailball has been at least as unhelpful as kuribo (much more so, I'd say) but you're ignoring her totally. Double standards much?

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.

:rolleyes: We both know you're not stupid, so stop trying to twist everything I say.

You have shown that you have no desire to conform to the standard lynch procedure that is pro-town. Only scum would desire to do so.

[Korts]

standard lynch procedure doesn't apply here, arlmx. Don't pretend it does, only scum would desire to do so.

[armlx]

This is funny, because the only thing destroying an orderly fashion of elimination does is let the scum get more free potato kills in.

Even worse, the entire "case" he and TSS have built against me is that I've been vocally opposing the pointless.

As I've said, fakevoting helps the scum more than it hinders them.

An orderly fashion of elimination needs to be set up, agreed, but should know that standard lynch procedure doesn't work in this situation like it should. What you proposed back a lot of pages ago isn't standard lynch procedure, since it involves two people set up for a lynch, not one. And you setting it up like I didn't agree with your proposed plan smells of bad to me.

[Korts]

As I've said, fakevoting helps the scum more than it hinders them.

I'm not so sure. Consider the fakevoting system two simultaneous lynches, with one of them being "pardoned". It's not any more helpful to scum than conventional lynching, and if it is, only by a small margin.

fakevote: kuribo

Just so nobody puts me in your "agreeing" crowd.

And disagreement is a legitimate reason to vote (even if the vote is fake)? Yays!

No, the reason is that kuribo is scum. All he did before TSS made his case was "(But) Suppose this, (but) suppose that; we'll only give scum a weapon". Criticism without any input.

[Korts]

In my irrelevant opinion, criticism can be just as valuable input as any other comment.

It can - but it wasn't. First, he just said things that were totally obvious, and second, if we followed him, we'd just had hold the potatoes and done nothing. It's not like he came up with a better plan up to that point - or any plan.

[kuribo]

Oh for Chrissake, TSS did not make a case.

He made a vague statement accusing me of being scum and when asked for evidence, his evidence was that I disagreed with Armlx.

[kuribo]

You have shown that you have no desire to conform to the standard lynch procedure that is pro-town. Only scum would desire to do so.

Also, YOU HAVE NOT PROVEN that this procedure is pro-town, or even will help at all. You've even conceded to BM a number of points, yourself. I'm not going to conform to a plan in which I see no benefit, and coming from someone that I see as scummy.

Please pay attention to the game. My thought was that analyzing WHO THROWS POTATOES AND WHERE will get us MUCH further than pretending that this is a normal game of mafia and insisting that the lead vote getters hold on to potatoes or meekly allow their own lynch.

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.
