I don't know if Mastin is scum or not. What I do know is, his style of play last night was un-constructive (to say the least) and downright distracting.
That being said, it may be in the best interest of the town to vote Mastin out, whether he be scum OR town. If he flips scum, we score. If he flips town, then we lose a townie, but we also lose a HUGE distraction.
I will reserve my vote for the moment, to see how others feel about my opinion.

Maybe, but I kinda doubt it. I am willing to believe Khan for now, unless he does something scummy.

Nah, Rofl just got the memo first that the RVS was over, as the mod always sends a PM first to the scum, and afterwards to the townies. Which means Rofl claimed scum, and Hayker is town. Let''s lynch ahead[/sarcasm]Hayker wrote:He's scummy because of saying the RVS was over, when it clearly wasn't to the majority of the players.
My opinion is that there''s no general borderline of the RVS. And I see no reason why this should be scummy.Ignore the ''R''-

Yes, but for night 0, it's always a good idea for scum to keep a lynchalious (to quote a certain dgb) newbie alive... But of course, that leads to WIFOM, because the newbie could be the scum... Which they were in this case...ZazieR wrote:

To be fair, in any game I am in, the RVS will last only a maximum of three pages.Hay wrote:The RVS didn't even seem over at that point, yet you just claimed it was.
Yet it works perfectly when people react the way you do to it and consider them instantly clear for it. A miller claim will almost never be a mafia night-kill unless said miller appears incredibly pro-town. So by claiming miller--an excuse to dismiss any cop reports--when it makes people think you're pro-town, is the perfect excuse for mafia, as they know a miller would almost never be night-killed.rofl wrote:claiming miller as scum on day one is a gambit that may work on occasion
Which is why I will keep an eye on Khan.
When they fail to get lynched (a success), I fail to see how it backfires (them getting killed).but more often backfires horribly.
So?1) you are locked into that claim.
Scum who don't lock into a claim plan from the beginning are going to end up dead. Any good scum will have planned out their claim from the second they were handed out their role.
Immediately claiming is more so, but still, good scum will have a claim planned out, locked into their head with no chance of changing, whether they end up needing it or not.
Perhaps.as scum, this means you will not have the option of doing any of the following things:
In a game like this (see: Konowa's specific type of mafia flip, three deaths total), do you honestly think that this would happen, anyway? And when there is no guarantee there aren't multiple power roles (this isn't a semi-open or open setup), would a counter-claim truly be a counter-claim?counterclaiming a power role in lylo
And also, see below answer.
That's what the partners of the miller claim are for.fakeclaiming an investigative/protective role with a false guilty/protect
We already KNOW the setup isn't vanilla.adapting to a changing game environment such as discovering that the setup may be all vanilla, etc.
An Emerald Jailer and a Mafia Doctor are both dead.
Got another example that fits this?
(Also, again, that's what partners are for--bussing a bad claim such as that if it turns out to be true.)
If he lived that long. The move he made might have simple been to rolefish, like I pointed out as a joke at the time.there are many ways for you to find yourself in a situation several game days later where you are simply fucked because you locked yourself out of the right strategic move as scum.
As scum, if I have a claim that will buy me even a day of life...that's still a day of life that I would not have had before.no matter how your claim plays out, there is just no freaking way you're living to endgame.
And, yea, partners are made for situations like that.
False dilemma. Anything could happen to the miller claim.one of two things will happen
Possible, but the vig will likely have suspects of their own, and if a doctor--for example--protects the mafia miller claim, the shot fails to go through.a vigilante will either not believe you or have no better idea who to shoot and will take the safest vigilante shot in the history of the game of mafia
Again, we have a known (mafia) doctor flip. What's to say there isn't another one?or an opposing scumteam/sk will come to the point where they need to start killing semi-cleared players because cleared players are the scum's SINGLE WORST NIGHTMARE and they will end up killing you.
As a semi-cleared player, they're likely to get protected.
Perfect for scum.
We shall see. It depends on his play.therefore we are never, ever lynching kublai khan
Uh, yes. Yes, it does. It makes a difference between winning the game as a pro-town player, or losing the game as a pro-town player (or winning the game as scum, mind you). It makes a huge difference.and it doesn't even matter if i'm right and he's in fact town or i'm wrong and he's fakeclaiming scum
It's not like I'm advocating for his lynch. I'm stating how I will keep my eye on him, and how he's a suspect of mine.because the problem will work itself out long before the endgame.
Discussing a claim is NEVER a waste of time.continuing to waste time discussing whether or not you believe khan's claim
Know what it is?
Scum hunting.
Nobody should ever eliminate a player as a lynch candidate unless there is STRONG evidence to suggest they are completely cleared. It is incredibly scummy to do so.or especially considering him as a lynch candidate
Lynch candidate for today?
That, I can understand, even if I disagree with it.
Apparently. Simple solution:Johnny wrote:A vote on me for my short post earlier?
Contribute more.
As I noted, it is not the best reasoning in the world.My goodness that is weak sauce dude.
Fresh players come along all the time and get slammed into Large Games. Not exactly the best place to start one's mafia career, especially if the name "Mastin" is listed amongst the player list.Glad I am not alone in this being my first Large Game.
Not my fault. Okay, it might be, but this is my posting style.Combine that with Mastin apparently being a mind-fuck specialist
And that's what's scummy about it:I really didn't have too much to say at the time.
We have three pages, already. Lots of long posts. There should be SOMETHING to comment on.
I love long posts, and I am almost always town. Do you really need anything else?Not too sure what to make of Mastin yet
Hopefully not your last, either. (I have had that impact on some players)as this is my first game with him.
And if you had to, where would that vote go at this moment?I am nowhere near ready to vote at this point.
This, I agree with. We need more contributors. They'll fall behind if they don't log in within the next few hours.Too many people haven't even been online yet.
Scratch that--they're already behind.
It's called scum hunting. People vote for their suspicions, if they view those suspicions great enough to warrant a vote?I do find it quite interesting that some people feel the need to vote at this stage of the game.
More of a null to town tell, depending on who you ask.Scumtell?
Not to most.Possibly.
And most agree with you. I imagine some disagree, but not many will. Whether it's a null tell or a town tell, now, THERE you will find some disagreement.Hay wrote:I don't believe voting at this stage is a scum tell John.
Players?Especially because this is a hard game with the current majority being 12.
We've had less than that?
Needed to lynch?
That's 11.
What were you saying?
From what I had read of Lynch all Lurkers, Tajo softclaimed and was forced to hardclaim in the future.Rofl wrote:woah there. do not try to involve me in your rolefishing.
I saw, and Khan saw, a potential softclaim. Your policy in that game was to force a hard claim from the soft claim.
I fail to see how the two are really different.
Minus the 'brought on by pressure' part, this is what I believed you to have thought. Nowhere did I see you mention that a softclaim brought on by pressure was scummy--I DID, however, see you mention that the softclaim was scummy and needed a full claim (which turned out to be correct).softlclaims brought on by pressure = scummy = need a fullclaim
The thing is, it didn't look like a possible breadcrumb.possible breadcrumb = SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN MENTIONED SPECIFICALLY = DO NOT FULLCLAIM OR CONFIRM OR DENY A KILLING ROLE OR ANY OTHER KIND OF ROLE SERIOUSLY DON'T DO IT
It looked like a soft claim.
Where do you draw the boundary between breadcrumbing and soft claiming?
Kise definitely crossed over to the latter, in my mind.
Not just me, either. Khan, your "clear", asked for the same thing.mastin's attempt to
What makes him excluded yet me included?
My wording was, originally, essentially,pull a fullclaim out
"Please...tell me that I didn't hear you say what I thought I heard you just say...could you clarify?",
meaning I wanted to see if that was what I thought it was (a soft claim), or if I were mistaken.
I'd do the same to elvis if she were alive. Or Xyl if he were in the game. Or Tajo. Or pretty much anyone who stated their opinion on soft claiming being scummy and needing a full claim.attach my name to drawing out said fullclaim
So?earlier in this very post you made reference to lynch all lurkers mafia
I've always said the same basic stuff. "ask Alduskkel about it."and appealed to me as an authority
"ekiM can confirm it."
"AceMarksman should back the story up." (How much do you want to bet at least one of them will search their name and find it referenced in here? )
Yadda, yadda, you get the idea.
Basically, I like to back up my points. Other people confirming it is perhaps the greatest evidence I can give.
Do you really have an issue with that?
I've explained this already.in making a (ill-conceived) point.
1: Face it: I've got a bad memory, so if it were true that my memory wasn't telling even half the story, it wouldn't be a scum tell.but now your memory seems to very selective
and
2: As I am about to explain, this is not the case and my memory is in no way selective.
So?as you are failing to take into account the same game, lynch all lurkers, where i did the exact same thing, as town, to zwetschenwasser, who flipped scum, starting on page 2.
You hit scum once.
Big f-ing deal.
How many other people did you target in that game?
I imagine rather some number.
They weren't all scum, were they?
You still tunneled.
Tunneling IS anti-town. It can catch mafia and sometimes does, but when you tunnel on a townie, it only hurts the town, and this happens far more often than it does not.
Tunnel Vision is listed as being a Logical Fallacy, and the second paragraph lists how it is Anti-town in nature.so yes, i do in fact deny that it is not pro-town
Khan brought out the fact that he was tunneled on by a townie in another game (he brought this up in 742, mind you, where I had a guilty on him--I must admit, I flat-out ignored the link. *shrug*), and both were left alive until Lylo, where the scum hammered him for a win, for example. Tunneling then was anti-town. And it is anti-town now.
Okay, I will. I've still got the Lynch all Lurkers tab open. I'll look at your posts in isolation--let's see how many people you tunneled on.and counter with the above evidence. check.
And how many of them were scum.
You also said that you were thinking a Zwet-Elvis team (saying you were paranoid about it) the very next post after you said Zwet-Tajo. In fact, you had expanded your suspects here.
Tunneled on scum: 1-2,
Tunneled on town: 0-2 (depending on the interpretation of thinking one of the three listed is scum)
Posts later (around Here), you’ve tunneled on two more players, and think a third is likely scum.
Tunneled on scum: 2
Tunneled on town: 1-2
Of the ones listed here as your scum-team, which evidence supports you were tunneling on, only one was actually scum.
You continue calling Brian, DGB, and Xtoxm scum with Tajo, similar to what you have done this game with me and FA—let’s see how long it takes you to add another two or three names to that list.
At this point, you’ve tunneled on,
Zwet (scum), Tajo (scum), Xtoxm (town), DGB (town), and Brian (town)—
2 scum,
3 town.
Your post here again only has one actual scum in it. And yet you focused on those players a great deal, did you not?
By your defense, at least half of them should be scum, if I read your argument correctly.
They weren’t. You tunneled on mostly pro-town players. And helped get them lynched. You drove their lynches, really. So how is that not anti-town, to get three pro-town players lynched?
Statements like this
Showing a refusal to listen to others are what’s so anti-town about tunneling.Rofl wrote:i think dgb is at least 95% likely to be scum at this point.
I read part of the game. Not all of it. I didn't even remember Zorblag or SpyreX (and to a lesser extent, Xtoxm and DGB) were players, yet alone, what was said. Only some comments which were brought up at the end of the game that were said earlier stuck in my mind. Like, oh, the people stating that the soft claim was scummy, for example.which you should also have been intimately aware of since you were reading the game as a replacement onto the scumteam.
This is a blatant 7-for-7 fallacy.so that just makes you attempting to brush off a similar statement from me regarding a mastin-fallen angel pairing seem even more hollow.
You were right once.
Big deal.
You're not Mr. Perfect. You're not going to be right every time.
Rofl, to be fair, your attitude is not one which I think is scummy. Your playstyle is annoying, to say the least, and you tunnel and refuse to give up, no matter how well your target defends themselves. It can work (which is why whenever it does, you gain rather the ego, in my opinion) well sometimes, but it is far from 100%. Or 50%, for that matter.
Okay, this was typed last night when I had an internet failure, with minor revisements when I had my internet back in the morning. Posting it now; I’ll catch up with the rest of the posts soon after.I'm back! Well, kind-of.No Access on Weekends. :/

1 Im not saying its all true by any means but there maybe some truth in that statement. It shouldnt be disregarded and ignored because it was mastin who said it. Im tired of everything is just mastin being mastin.Kublai Khan wrote:@Empking's Alt (112): Oh, okay.
@MafiaMann (116): Mastin listed you as a member of Mafia A and you weren't sure if he was completely joking? I took Mastin's opening post as a joke calling out and ribbing people he had a history and was familiar with. The fact that you aren't someone Mastin knows is now making me say hmmm.
Also: You're making some pretty reaching arguments which seem to betray a deeper knowledge of the game and it's setup than I've got. All I know is that there are 3 kills. Since the flavor is pretty minimal, the fact that the Cerulean Mafia has a name would strongly indicate that there are at least 2 mafia groups. The third kill could be a serial killer, a vigilante, or a third mafia group. The listed causes of death (Slaughtered/Murdered/Annihilated) give us no hints as to which group did what.
These are the bare basic facts. Your wild speculation about multiple mafia doctors is unhelpful and has been noted.
2 Im not making reaching arguments i havent even really made many argument please quote what you are referring to because all i said was wouldnt make sense for the mafias to be symmetrical.Why don't they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as well as prohibition did, in five years Americans would be the smartest race of people on Earth.├óÔé¼-

Best to assume I'm not. Because, well, I rarely am scum.I don't know if Mastin is scum or not.
I got us out of the RCV.What I do know is, his style of play last night was un-constructive (to say the least) and downright distracting.
Explain to me how that's unconstructive.
I've got us talking.
Discussing.
Debating.
Scum hunting.
How's that not constructive?
Unnecessarily, I might add.That being said
Red flags have officially been raised over this comment.it may be in the best interest of the town to vote Mastin out
The goal of the town is to lynch scum.whether he be scum OR town.
The goal of scum is to lynch anyone but their own scum.
Policy lynches are exactly that--lynches not of their own.
Which is precisely what you are suggesting.
Yea, anyone got a tall flagpole? Definitely a huge red flag raised here.
I won't.If he flips scum,
Again, you might as well suggest a policy lynch of Empking, Zwetschenwasser, or other players with similar playstyles.we score.
It's similar to this policy:AceMarksman's Sig wrote:"either he's scum and yay 1 less scum, or he's town and yay 1 less zwetschenwasser. " ~Moratorium
Words to live by.
Like I will...If he flips town
1: Rolefishing for my role (you say "townie". "Townie" is a role.),then we lose a townie
2: It is almost NEVER a good idea to lynch a pro-town player. ESPECIALLY off of Policy. It is FAR better to lynch scum, and to actually SCUM HUNT instead of a Policy Lynch.
My "distraction" only lasts until the RVS is over. Then I start scum hunting.but we also lose a HUGE distraction.
Scummy, considering how you've expressed a willingness to vote for me.I will reserve my vote for the moment
Why would others' have such an impact on your opinion?to see how others feel about my opinion.
If the majority of the town would think so, sure, they can't all be scum--but any less than that, and the scum may or may not be influencing that opinion.
Are you going to wait that long?
Or are you going to wait for just a few to weigh in?
How about this option C: You want the advice of your scum buddies on whether to vote for me or not.
Because you just made so many scummy comments, it's not even funny.(why do I have the feeling I am about to be shit upon?)
Johnny with this post single-handedly steals away my vote for such a scummy post.

Nothing special. Treat my posts no differently than those of any other player.then I'm not sure what to make of it.
Yet it works brilliantly in the long run for discussion, especially since it only lasts for the RVS before I start getting serious.It is distracting in a way
I like this guy. He makes good observations.but at the same time, it generates conversation
And there we have the quoted for truth opinion of the day--this guy's good.and the more talk there is, the more likely chance there is for scum to slip up.
Heh. I figured there was a reason there were seven pages when there were only three before--you came online, Zaz.Zaz wrote:He does it all the time
Yea. I like doing what I do in the RVS.
I do it in most of my more recent games, so, yea, I do it often.At least, he has done so in my games with him.
So you say...Well, in this case it doesn't apply
Well, duh, of course I did.You obv knew that and are now trying to get me lynched.
Ah, I love playing with Zaz. So vitalizing.Reasons for that can be found below XD
XPObv a lie as Rofl would never betray me
Eh, you never know...right Rofl?
It's the best kind.Mastin is planning to use circular logic here
The government of Mastin will neither confirm nor deny the existence of this claim.when I get lynched and turn up as Mafia A traitor in order to keep himself and the rest of our team safe
Zaz, you're so much fun. So much for my promise to not tell so many jokes.Discuss that
1: Yay! New feedback!Wicked wrote:Do you actually think that Khan would have roleclaimed if this were the case?
2: Wicked, you've obviously read a good portion of the game--why is that the first thing you comment on?
3: I have explained this opinion many times, though Kise should as well, considering that's his quote.
I'm keeping an eye on Khan. He's never going to leave my suspicion list because of this.Maybe, but I kinda doubt it.
As long as he appears pro-town, I am as well.I am willing to believe Khan for now
Glad that someone else agrees with me on that matter.unless he does something scummy.
At this very moment, so do I.Although I believe his claim
This seems to conflict with the earlier opinion--I wouldhesitate to vote him [ufor doing something scummy[/u]just because he RC'd miller.
Can you explain the inconsistency, Wicked?I am willing to believe Khan for now,unless he does something scummy.
I wouldn't take it that far.I am going to pretend he is just an ordinary player
I can understand this opinion, though, like I said, I disagree with it.to make it fair for everybody.
How is scum hunting not helping conversation?I am sorry, but your posts are getting too long and none of which actually include content that is helping this conversation.
Of course my early ones were--it was the RVS; that's what they were meant for.I think that some of your posts are just distracting.
But you can't call all of my posts distracting when they're scum hunting.
Are you calling scum hunting a distraction?
'Cept, only scum don't think anyone is scummy.If I did not think that anybody else was scummy
We're nowhere close--we've got weeks left.and we had a deadline that was near
Why state this now?
Fencesitting-->Scumtell.then I'd vote Mastin
Right, scum hunting is in no way helping the rest of the town. [/sarcasm]because he is not helping us at all
And vote me because of it?!?and I think it would be really hard to tell whether he was mafia or town.
Seems like guilty-until-proven-innocent (GUPI) logic to me.
You have NO way of knowing if ANYONE is mafia or town, unless you, yourself, are mafia.
This applies to ALL players, not just me.
Why use it against just me, then?
I'm scum hunting right now. I have been. WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED?!?Mastin I would like to see more contribution from you.
Of those three?Which of these three people do you find the scummiest?
Hayker gave me bad vibes last night, and Kise needs to answer a few points. At this point in time, I am thinking that Fallen Angel is likely town.
This is not surprising.I am a bit suspicious of roflcopter
Hey, he's roflcopter the tunneler. Does he need a good reason with an ego like his?because his vote for mastin doesn't really seem to have a good reason.
Rofl is a strong believer in Tarhalindur's Chainsaw Defense--defending me and attacking my attacker (rofl) would make FA scummy to him, because he thinks I am scum.He is also trying to convince us that Fallen is mafia without giving reasons.
To my knowledge, it is.I don't know if this is his normal playstyle or what
His sig gives all of his completed games. You can find them easily.but if I didn't have any other games to base his playstyle on
So, where is your vote going?then I'd vote him.
To my knowledge, yes, he is.I would like to hear from others whether roflcopter is acting normal or not.
That's page three. I'll do page four as well.
"MafiaMann
is having a scumday!"
Happy S-day, Mafia Mann.
I mark my sarcasm with either the roll emot or with "[/sarcasm]".Mafia wrote:Mastin I believe you are using a lot of sarcasm in your posts
Really, what's wrong with sarcasm?
My RVS tactics work wonders, don't they?and thats definitly not helping the town
It does help the town.
I've gone over this a million times.
It
-Gets us out of the RVS,
-Gets us debating,
-Gets us scum hunting,
-Generally at least gives me suspects.
Now, how does that NOT help the rest of the town?
Only if people put some weight into my RVS tactics. They're generally worthless.and its going to create confusion.
Aww, the image broke. I can't see your wonderful picture, Zaz.
Fortunately, copy image location works well. Yay!

So I'll say we use Mudkip next night to ensure our victory Twisted Evil
Who else LURVES mudkips XD?
He did claim at the best time for any miller to claim.Why did you claim?
I asked what type of Miller he is (I think I did, anyway. Meant to, if I didn't), because there are at least three. You listed death miller (who shows up as mafia upon death) and just miller (shows up as miller upon death), but there are more than just those two.And for clarification, dead miller or miller?
Yea, yea. I know.Bad vote
Aww...but it's soooo much fuuuuun...!Mudkipz say no to this!
Yet you don't vote me. Vote for the person who isn't voting her suspicions.Definitly LAL!
My, my, you sure say what your vote doesn't seem to support...Mudkipz support LAL, and so do I!
Eh, I'll change it when I have the time.OMG Shocked ^^That's so LAL
As said, Mudkipz support LAL
So Mudkip LURVERS support LAL! Let's lynch Mastin XD
That was what I understood from rofl.Don't tell me you think Kublai is town, based upon him claiming miller, right?
I wouldn't say that--I'd say most-of-the-site-knows, but not site-wide.Yeah, it's known site-wide.
Yea. I know.Which means that scum could also use it like this.
It is, however, worthy of keeping an eye on.So, in my opinion, it doesn't say anything about his allignment.
The question is...benefit to whom?Far wrote:Miller claiming early is of benefit
The same applies to if he is scum. :/means a cop won't waste investgation on him.
Which is why Khan has my eye.I guess it's possible your scum claiming miller
Perhaps you failed to consider that maybe Khan tried to do something last night as scum (like, say, night-kill someone), and him panicking if it failed to go through, thinking he'll be exposed.but it seems a sub-optimal strategy to me for scum, due to 1) the attention that's drawn to a miller claim and 2) millers being vigged is very common, so yeh.
If scum fail to successfully carry out their action, they have reason to be afraid, in my opinion.
Eh, I just randomly assign scum tells with the number 42 in them.What's scum tell 420?
RVS Shenanigans. I will keep an eye on Khan, but his claim isn't a scum tell. (Doesn't mean it's a town tell, though.)And does this mean you consider miller claiming early as a scum tell?
If you want to put any real weight on my RVS tactics, sure, go ahead and bandwagon rofl's logic.I guess this is actually a fair point
Really.
It was the RVS,
And not having fun's a scum tell.
As do I. I can understand someone thinking that, but I definitely do not agree with the opinion.and although I dont' consider him as good as confirmed, I understand the position.
Of course I do.The mastin proceeds to unvote here;
Khan was my RVS vote.
In reality, he's worthy of keeping an eye on,
But not worthy of a vote.
Keeping a random vote on needlessly is pointless and unproductive.Why did you unvote here?
It's no longer the RVS. My vote was a RVS vote. Simple conclusion: remove RVS vote, for it is no longer useful.Sure it's no longer the "rvs" but, there's no harm keeping your vote.
Don't see why I would keep it on, unless I was seriously, seriously suspecting Khan's claim. (I have minor suspicions of it--not enough for a vote.)
Again, why keep a vote on someone if they're not your primary suspect?Looks more like you unvoted b/c rofl called you on it.
Khan's worthy of keeping an eye on. Not worthy of keeping a vote on.
Exactly.Well, Idk you could always read the information and see what you think of it?
He's accusing me of wanting to cause confusion and have people not know what to do with my posts, of course.What do you mean "which is probably what he wants".
I've explained why it's a good tactic several times. I've yet, other than the explanation of it being confusing, to hear a good, solid reason as to why it doesn't work.Pffffft it sucks and you know it
It gets us out of the RVS within an hour,
It gets discussion going,
It gets us scum hunting.
What more do you need?
I'm erratic.As for Mastin behaving differently
Considering my post length...well I've read/reading along with a few of his games
That takes some serious skill.
I wouldn't say I'm consistent. Mostly consistent, sure, but some games do have notable differences.and he appears to be consistent in all of them, so yeh it seems the "norm" so to speak.
I agree.This seems weird to me.
Yea--fence sitting.It's like "you're ok for now, but I may find you scummy in the future" kinda thing.
We all want to know. :/erm, what's the point of this?
Depends on how it is done.Mastin do you consider bandwaggoning to be a scum tell/scummy?
With little/no/poor/repeated from another's reasoning, yes.
With their own, good, darn-solid logic, no.
Yea, I disagree with that as well.So rofl is scummy for thinking Mastin is scum
Like I said, you can think someone's scummy (or even know that they're scum), yet still admit that they do raise some good points. I don't really see the problem with it.yet rofl brings up some valid points.
Not to me, it doesn't.This sounds rather strange
Eh, fair request. Don't really see the point, though.so can you please clarify what you mean here?
Because I am.You accept Mastin is being mastin
Well, he hasn't played with rofl before. From what I've seen and heard, I believe this is normal rofl play, but to my knowledge, FA hasn't played with Rofl before (but he has played with me).however rofl seems like rofl to me so far.
Not really a large issue. For many, I imagine it's vice-versa.
I have no problem with this.If you're going to use meta to excuse one players actions
If he knows about rofl's play, then, yes.then surely it's strange not to apply this to everyone?
Otherwise, not really.
I've been called scum(my) by those who don't know my playstyle, and then they reverse their opinion later on.
And I agree. It's not the best reasoning in the world, but it did have reasoning.Also Kise's vote seems perfectly reasonable.
It's not long until it matches the length of my average post.Gonna end this here as it's probably long enough
I suppose it'd be fair to do the same with me, when I finish page four. Start a fresh post for page five.will continue it in another post.
You and I seem to be of a similar kind, Zaz.
The vig direct thing you noted, of course, was me drawing reactions, as at the time, I had not declared the RVS over.
It makes him worthy of watching. Keeping an eye on him after the claim is a very good idea.
As I explained, I didn't even see 33. I didn't know it existed due to a simulpost, and the first new post I saw was FA's.
By the way...did I mention that Faraday is obviously a pro-town player?Far wrote:And no, we're here to lynch scum, anti-town players =/= scum.
Good posts like this make it so that I'm already putting him on my pro-town player list.
Okay, that's page four.
"OH, LORITHIA, MY EYES!!!!!!!"
Sorry, sorry, I was holding back as much as I could... :/I'm back! Well, kind-of.No Access on Weekends. :/
Advid reader/contributor to MD, as I'm far better in theory than I am in reality. :P
True to my word, I'm retiring. Totally not me. :P
