No, Magus was jokevoting Emp for doing what I consider a protown action: starting real discussion. Way to defend a player on Page 2 though.ac1983fan wrote:
Which is, what I beleive, Magnus Stragnus was doing here. So Magnus's vote could be considered both pro-town and anti-town.Kmd4390 wrote:

The way I see it, Emp made a statement that Magnus saw as an attempt to get us out of the RVS. Magnus called that scummy. I call it a more protown action, and Magnus doing the exact opposite scummy.ac1983fan wrote:
I wasn't defending him, I was simply stating my opinion on his actions, and how, in one way, it is creating discussion to get us out of the jokevoting stage, which is generally considered protown behavoir, however, your interpretation is another way the post could be intended. I was basically trying to point out a little bit of irony in his post and your reaction to it. I guess I should've made it clearer.Kmd4390 wrote:

Why wait if there is something to jump on? The RVS serves it's purpose when someone can jump on something seriously. Then reactions blow up from that. After that, well, you have a serious mafia game.Magus_Stragus wrote: Well, first, I agree with you regarding that townies want the RVS to end as soon as possible to have more time for serious discussion. However, the RVS is important, as it lets us start with the game properly, and rushing it when we have not yet something to start with is not good, imo.
Looked like a defense to me.Magus wrote:Also, ac is right: he wasn't defending me, just stating his opinion on the ironically fact that your answer of my post created.
Are 3 votes scummy? Do you think that it puts me in danger of being jokelynched by 3 more votes? If one of the votes on me was your own, would you unvote? Why or why not?Magus wrote:Hmm...

You're right that the probability goes up with each vote. But how do you distinguish which come from scum, if any, when all three are random/joke votes?Magus_Stragus wrote: @Kmd: Your three votes might seem random, but there's also a probability that mafia (not all of them, though), it's behind of one of those votes. Just saying that, though. After my first game, I've learnt that being/putting someone half-way from the total votes needed to lynch is a bad thing.KMD is the coolest dude who ever lost a bet to me - vonflare-

So one of the three is possibly scum? That's very close to the odds of any one player in this game being scum.

Why do you care if you get called out for bandwagoning?Magus wrote: with Kmd at L-3, voting for him becomes difficult (not that I'm saying that we should all vote for him, just saying that in case of a vote against him), due to the likely assumption of such vote being a bandwagon
Why wouldn't they? What's so scary about L-3?Magus wrote:You're right. However, if you see, no person that voted for you have withdrawn his vote. Why would they want to have a person at L-3, if the all of those votes were done in the rvs?

Putting aside the fact that that wasn't directed at you, you wouldn't look at the people who quicklynched before you COULD remove your random vote?

Gonna steal a line from Caboose here.[s]Magus[/s] Shin wrote:First, if a person gets called for a bandwagon he didn't want to follow (let's say, because he really have reasons to vote for someone), he might look scummy in front of the town, even if he's a town and his reasons were good enough to vote for that person (although in the end such person resulted a townie). The point is not the fear of being lynched, but the fear that the town will loss another member, hence, giving more advantage to mafia. This is a game where townies have to do everything in order to the town to win, and put yourself in a wrong spot (and hence giving an advantage to the mafia) due to someone's else actions is not a good thing. Second, I've already said why I don't like halfway to the lynching when there's no good reasons for it.
A well reasoned vote is NOT a scumtell.
If you think someone is scum, you have no reason not to vote them. And in the RVS, you have no reason not to vote ANYONE unless it's a hammer.KMD is the coolest dude who ever lost a bet to me - vonflare-

You've never seen a player lay a vote and then build a case? I know I've done it. The thought process behind that is usually, "My gut says X is scummy. I should see why." That's how most cases end up being formed.Shinnen_no_Me wrote:You don't lay votes just to lay them out of the rvs and then look for a excuse for that vote. That's zetta weird.

Tell me why it's more likely that there is scum in the 3 players who random voted me than any other group of 3 players. (I've lost this post twice already. )GIEFF wrote: I, like Shin, believe that for a 3-player bandwagon, it is more likely than not that at least one of the three is mafia. Just from a statistical standpoint, the probability that three randomly-chosen players are all town is 8/11*7/10*6/9 = 34%. So the probability that three rnadom players contain 1 or more scum is 1 - 34% =66%. And this number is completely ignoring things like mafia liking to bandwagon, and early bandwagons more likely to be on townies than on mafia, so I think the true chance that at least one of the three on the early wagon was mafia is more like 70 or 75%.
I unvoted because I was satisfied with Shin's response, not because the RVS was over. I don't do that. I unvote a random vote when there is a better reason to vote.GIEFF wrote: Empking, if yyou find it fishy that people unvote because we aren't in the random vote stage, why did you ignore it when Magus did it? It looks like kmd did the same thing, but Magus actually said the unvote was because "things were getting serious," and I don't have to make assumptions about intent.
Really? Hidden? It was posted right there. Why is it any harder to read than any other post?GIEFF wrote:The fact that Empking's case washiddenin a quote pyramid (which I didn't take the time to read completely, either) makes me more suspicious of Empking than of Shin.
Hypothetical scenario.ac1983fan wrote: I guess I'm more of a follower than a leader. I have a hard time making up cases on my own, but when somebody else makes a case, I can usually determine if I agree or disagree.
5 players. 1 scum. 2 players all out attack each other. You and 2 others are "followers". You lynch one of the 2 attacking each other. The other is NK'd. You are left with 2 players who won't do anything until you make a move. Do you see why being a "follower" hurts there?KMD is the coolest dude who ever lost a bet to me - vonflare-

I see no reason why it shouldn't be. Quoting is a convenient tool. The whole conversation is lumped together and there is no confusion as far as what we were responding to. I quote in almost every post I make. Is that scummy and/or hard to read?Shinnen_no_Me wrote:But for the other players, it wasn't that easy.
I think you should have read it.Shinnen_no_Me wrote:I didn't read Emp's "case" because I simply did not see it. Is that scummy?
1) It's not hard to read.Shinnen_no_Me wrote:But for me, you were the ones that were trying to hide that and make it harder to read.
2) Trying to hide it? Why do you think we were trying to hide the conversation? And if we were, how would that benefit scum?
We are currently in 7 games together if I count correctly. We have also been online around the same time. I can see where you think there is a connection, but it's not exclusive to this game. I won't go into detail though considering ongoing games and all.Shinnen_no_Me wrote:But, you know what else is scummy? That kind of partnership you are having between yourselves.

Quoting in general limits confusion. Just because I didn't take the time to eliminate everything doesn't change anything.GIEFF wrote:

The whole conversation is lumped together and there is no confusion as far as what we were responding to. I quote in almost every post I make. Is that scummy and/or hard to read?

I quote to limit confusion. If I didn't quote, people would ask, "Who were you directing that at?" and, "when did I say that?"GIEFF wrote: You were not trying to limit confusion. Quoting in limits confusion (to an extent, which you by FAR exceeded), but I am talking about your specific behavior on pages 6 and 7.
Can you really not see that if you weren't involved in creating that pyramid, it would be quite difficult to read?
Just because I don't always take the time to take out some things changes that? Because I'm not seeing it.
And no, I don't think it's difficult to read.
Anyway, you say Emp is distracting us near a deadline. Is your questioning me about quoting related to scumhunting in any way?KMD is the coolest dude who ever lost a bet to me - vonflare-

I am? Prove it.GIEFF wrote:You are claiming that Shin is lying when she says she didn't see Empking's post.
I'm not saying you are lying. But yeah, I am saying itGIEFF wrote:You're claiming we are BOTH lying, and that the quote-pyramid should not have been hard to read.shouldhave been no problem reading it.
Misrep. I quote to limit confusion. That is any time I post and there are quotes. It limits confusion to include posts. Being lazy and not removing things isn't what I am referring to when I say I'm limiting confusion. It's quoting in general.GIEFF wrote:And I think it's scummy to claim (read: LIE) that your quote pyramid was intended to "limit confusion." That is what you're claiming, right? That is just about objectively false. You were quoting because it was funny.
You know, my sig could say the same thing. More yesterday than today though. I've actually managed to pay attention to MS almost as much as talking to you.ZazieR wrote:See sig. He should be able to let me post tomorrowKMD is the coolest dude who ever lost a bet to me - vonflare-

I never said that "Shin is lying when she says she didn't see Empking's post." Those are your words. It's very possible that she didn't see it. But that means she didn't read it. I think she should have read it. Not necessarily scummy, but sheGIEFF wrote:It looks to me like you are implying Shin really did read it. If you are not, why else would you say Shin should have read it? Am I misunderstanding your intent?shouldhave read it.
Read carefullly. Quoting-in-general-limits-confusion. I am not talking about any specific quote. I am talking about ALL quotes in ANY game. Hell, this could apply for a thread in general discussion.GIEFF wrote: This is ironic, because you are taking it out of its original context, the very thing you claim you are trying to avoid. You said you quote to limit confusion in response to Shin saying the quote pyramid was difficult to read. I took that to mean that you were arguing against this, saying that the quoting made the conversation EASIER to follow, and that this was your intent, when your intent was very obviously nothing of the sort.
Are you even reading what I'm saying?GIEFF wrote:No, you didn't come out and say "My quote pyramid was intended to help the town follow the conversation." But you very much implied it, and it is very much untrue.
Because people didn't like the quote pyramid for some reason. I explained that it happened because I quote for convenience.GIEFF wrote:And if you weren't trying to imply that the quote pyramid was intended to help the town follow the conversation, why would you make a general argument about quoting helping to provide context?KMD is the coolest dude who ever lost a bet to me - vonflare-

Both, but mostly the town.GIEFF wrote: For your own convenience, or for the town's convenience when trying to read what you are saying?
I'm not going to sit here and repeat myself screaming at the top of my lungs just before a deadline. I've responded to your points. You've told me I'm wrong. I've repeated myself. You've told me I'm wrong. It ends now unless you have something new to add, ok?
^This. There was mention of a case 4-5 times along with the case itself. If you at least skimmed, you'd have seen that.Slicey wrote:GIEFF, I was not around when the quote pyramid was made. I skipped over most of it until I saw something that was more than one line long. You should have at least skimmed through it, as should Shin.KMD is the coolest dude who ever lost a bet to me - vonflare-

I think the quoting in general did, yes. The amount of quotes specifically shouldn't have made it any easier OR harder IMO.Slicey wrote:KMD, can you please answer this question?

*Sigh*
It upset people, so I apologized.
And I'm not saying the pyramid itself made anything easier. I can probably quote myself at least 10 times saying that it's quoting in general that makes things easier and the pyramid is the effect of not removing everything.
How many times do you plan on making me repeat this? Scum are probably loving the distraction.KMD is the coolest dude who ever lost a bet to me - vonflare-
