That's all fine and dandy, but are you saying that someone should unvote Wall-E so he isn't at L-2 anymore?Amished wrote:
Zach, regardless of Wall-E's ... interesting... posts, I also find your dismissal of putting somebody at L-2 whenever is odd. Especially if we don't know what the setup is. I don't try to out-guess the mod, I just think about the worst case scenario. We could have somebody that get's 2 votes, or somebody that needs less votes for a lynch due to their own role, or cause of somebody else's vote on them. L-2 in an unknown setup is rather serious in my opinion and shouldn't be disregarded like that.
I noticed that too, but I don't think 1 word is really gonna matter, is it? But I do see what you mean by trying to blend-in.Stephoscope wrote:Is there anything to the fact that each of the three people who answered my question about mafia experience answered with, "plenty"?

That was partially sarcastic. You'll notice that someone else expressed an interest later and I seconded it, but only out of a curiosity for whether or not lordzoner was lurking.Zachrulez wrote:Stephoscope raises a good point on Lordzoner.
I suppose my biggest concern is the fact that he unvotes DDD to make him feel more "comfortable" about things.
I will note however, that Wall-E immediately jumped on Lordzoner after Steph raised his point.

To add to my previous post, what's the point in even bringing something like this up? Surely you can't think it will show any relevance to somebody's alignment. It appears to me as if you're trying hard scum-hunting, perhaps a little too hard.Stephoscope wrote:Is there anything to the fact that each of the three people who answered my question about mafia experience answered with, "plenty"?

I'll always be trying to scumhunt, but more importantly, I'm trying everything I can think of to initiate topics of conversation other than the Wall-E/Zach stuff. I invite everyone else to try the same.Pitstop wrote:To add to my previous post, what's the point in even bringing something like this up?

Just a quick explanation on the purpose of mentioning this would be nice.
I am seriously just trying to drum up additional conversation. I noticed something I found sort of peculiar, and I brought it up.Amished wrote:... Stephoscope. The use of one word doesn't signify anything. So far I believe everyone has said "the" at some point, so it must mean we're all blind millers or something, and the first person to point it out wins. Also, I find that "soft vote" that you just said to be extremely scummy. You're basically going against the person with the most votes, so if they get to L-1 later on or something, you can point back to that to say that you were suspicious of him for a long time.
I don't think I've ever seen a townie actually say something like that so

That's pretty weak to use the example that everyone has used the word "the". There's a big difference between using the word "the" and using the word "plenty" to describe past Mafia game experience.Amished wrote:... Stephoscope. The use of one word doesn't signify anything.

@C_O and Zach: I'm saying that you're trying to outguess the mod by saying those roles aren't going to be in this setup, and I'm also saying I'm going with the worst possible case that I can think of to be safe. I'm not asking people to unvote for somebody, I'm just saying that when I don't know what the possibilities are out there, I'm gonna try to play more conservatively until we get more information, and I'm going to think about pressure voting a bit more than I normally would.
I understand this, but by trying to use one word to describe past Mafia-game experience to pinpoint someone as Mafia is a very weak excuse and makes it seem like you're desperate to just get someone gone, thus making you look Scummy.Stephoscope wrote:ANYTHING in this game can show clues to someone's alignment.

No and you see right through me.Stephoscope wrote:Wall-E, are you "roleplaying" in this game and/or others? Your posts and play strike me as kind of bizarre and stream-of-consciousness...you've made yourself the easy vote for Day 1, but I'm not convinced that's the best one here.
Well he is looking for scum, but the way he is doing it, is just not the best way of doing it.Pitstop wrote:
I would like to get everyone's thoughts on the Stephoscope case
I just asked the question, did anyone think there was anything to it? I was reading the thread and I noticed something I thought might be interesting. Never did I guess that people would interpret it as a scumtell! Would you all have preferred to just sit around and talk about the Wall-E/Zach exchange? What has everyone else done to proactively try and figure out who the scum are? There's something wrong with trying to do so?Pitstop wrote:I understand this, but by trying to use one word to describe past Mafia-game experience to pinpoint someone as Mafia is a very weak excuse and makes it seem like you're desperate to just get someone gone, thus making you look Scummy.

"Plenty" is a quite common word, and answers the question well. There are other responses that carry the same meaning and connotation, but I think repeating the word might be more indicative of vocabulary than allegiance.Stephoscope wrote: Is there anything to the fact that each of the three people who answered my question about mafia experience answered with, "plenty"?
There is a slight difference, but we're trying to eliminate both, so that point is moot.Stephoscope wrote: Specifically, I was wondering why Wall-E insisted that Zach was "anti-town" and not "scummy"...and I like to think I and everyone else understands that there is a difference between those two terms...
That's actually something I find non-scummy about Stephoscope. (S)he's being cautious, and I would consider that a pro-town thing to do.ryan2754 wrote: The one thing I find scummy is his fencesitting on Wall-E. Saying you are going to possibly vote for him and not voting is scummy.
