I don't think I like this Vino wagon at all.

I would support the Emp or Korlash wagons at this point.
Unvote, Vote Empking

I dont have any evidence to vote him. Only a gut feeling from his first/second post. This is random stage.
So, you think Emp is deliberately lurking here?Finally, have you played with Emp anyone who deliberately lurks before? Yes.mistakein another game, its hisblaming of that mistakeon someone else.
2) No doubt he is lurking. The game is in full swing, he saw then when he posted his "/confirm". He just posted confirm and left.

You know you can keep on this all you want, but you do realize the three most active and vocal town in that game all fucked up at some point right? You were an idiot when it came to Crazy, I was an idiot when it came to Mirth, and Corv was an idiot when it came to Farside.Pop wrote:Pffft.
I am the crappy player that managed to convince the obnoxious Corvus in Lylo to vote for scum Mirth.Its totally my fault that I didnt manage to convince the super awesome Korlash in Lylo to vote for her. Instead he went for the obv town Kublai Khan.
Yeah, Kor. You rack!
But of course you can continue to hold a grudge against me for my mistake, however you should realize we'll be at it forever.
Also, once again. If you called it day one and it took you until LYLO to convince anyone...You need to work on your argumentative process.[i]Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?[/i] [url=http://www.braingle.com/community/wiki.php?user=Lamont_Cranston&page=ms_wiki]Wiki[/url]

I said I also noted how he said "random vote" and so I agree with you in noting that. However, in my mind that only sets up a potential relationship between him and Rofl. I questioned him about it and like his repsonse and don't actually think his vote is random. Therefore no reason that is being used to advocate his lynch is working with me at all.Fishythefish wrote:
You agreed with my original vote. Now, after a post from Vino about a different game, which you "like" in some unspecified way, you don't like the wagon on him. What changed your mind? Also, why does Korlash's opinions (wrong or right) about a previous game have any correlation with his alignment in this one?Lamont_Cranston wrote:

It's a Tao Cup, which apparently rings at 289.44Hz and is therefore(?!) "tuned to the planetary tone of Mars". It'll set you back €169. It doesn't appear on the first 23 pages of Google Image Search under the search term "bell".
So, um, what the fuck?Whoops, looked like a bell to me...
Also, I have no idea why you're defending Vino, especially after expressing initial approval of Fishy's first post.I have explained this.

Ok, so you don't blame Tajo for your loss in LYLO because of his failure to convince you? I am sorry if I misunderstood that.Korlash wrote:@Lamont: Pardon me for not quoting that. seems weird to quote myself... anyways that had nothing to do with "my mistake", it had to do with him taking 5 days to get the people he "called on day 1" lynched. I can see where you get that confused though as it has nothing in common at all. Very easy to get two completely unlike things confused that like.
I think it's survival of the fittest. i was wrong in another game thus I'm less of a player and detrimental to the town... hmmm...

Kewl. Well you look super fun to play with and so I withdraw my support of your wagon.Korlash wrote:No, I never said anything about him convincing me. I'm saying you can't claim to have "called out scum" on day 1 unless you also recognize your failure at lynching those scum day 1 as well.

The game of mafia isn't about calling people out as scum, it's about proving they are scum and forcing everyone else to help you kill them.
And FYI I didn't lose in LYLO. Being wrong and losing are two different things. I had two super awesome townies watching my back that saved us the game.

Also, extreme amounts of enthusiasm is worth noting. Also, note the poor logic in why he wants to lynch people. Korlash because something that happened in another game and Empking because he's 'lurking.'

So? It's the beginning of D1. The people who just random voted are about as guilty as Emp in posting no content. There was little to say at that point. Do you really expect to him to say "X is scum because of this" on Page 3?Lamont_Cranston wrote:

I'm not jumping on this BW. I have good reason to vote you. You're trying to say someone is lurking when the game has barely even begun. You're either:
A. Scumbuddies with Emp, and you're trying to distance yourself, albeit making it way too obvious. Possibly because Emp is generally seen scummy.
B. Scum whose using bad reasoning and making a crap attack against Emp to appear more town.
C. Town whose using bad reasoning and making a crap attack against Emp.
D. Properly pointing out someone is lurking and taking the proper town action towards that person.
I'm going with option B.rightanswer here.[i]Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?[/i] [url=http://www.braingle.com/community/wiki.php?user=Lamont_Cranston&page=ms_wiki]Wiki[/url]

Well it appears I have thefamousTar all pissed off at me.
We're going to have to agree to disagree on most things here.
Parts of your case are so astoundingly bad it makes me wonder why you would be reaching so hard...
But let's get started:

He needs to be postingmore.This of course is completely senseless. Why are you wasting the pixel space with a point like this? How would you like somebody attacking you with a lame argument like this? Certainly you understand how voting people is part of the process of catching scum right?
(This is something of a pet peeve of mine.)
I didn't know there were criteria that qualified potential lynch candidates other than "this player is likely to be scum". Elaborate, please.Lamont_Cranston wrote:

I support an Empking wagon because anyone that posts "/confirm" and leaves needs to post regularly or be lynched.Surely you know that very early in the game there is less to go on than we would have once the game progresses right? Why is the famous Tar wasting time with bad arguments like this??
Again, why does "fun to play with" equal "shouldn't be bandwagoned"? Scum can be fun to play with, after all...Lamont_Cranston wrote:

I'm saying you can't claim to have "called out scum" on day 1 unless you also recognize your failure at lynching those scum day 1 as well. If you call player A out as scum but are incapable of lynching them and end up lynching Player B, you have no real claim to fame at calling player A out. The game of mafia isn't about calling people out as scum, it's about proving they are scum and forcing everyone else to help you kill them.
And FYI I didn't lose in LYLO. Being wrong and losing are two different things. I had two super awesome townies watching my back that saved us the game. And yes, Pop had some small hand in it as well.Are you skimming too? I already explained this. The fun note is a side note. The main reason I unvoted him is because he wasn't exhibiting the behavior I thought he was (he explained it)...

Also, extreme amounts of enthusiasm is worth noting. Also, note the poor logic in why he wants to lynch people. Korlash because something that happened in another game and Empking because he's 'lurking.'
Unvote, Vote: Lamont
also, love the awesome australian players <3
Why are you jumping on this bandwagon??
I'm not jumping on this BW. I have good reason to vote you. You're trying to say someone is lurking when the game has barely even begun. You're either:
A. Scumbuddies with Emp, and you're trying to distance yourself, albeit making it way too obvious. Possibly because Emp is generally seen scummy.
B. Scum whose using bad reasoning and making a crap attack against Emp to appear more town.
C. Town whose using bad reasoning and making a crap attack against Emp.
D. Properly pointing out someone is lurking and taking the proper town action towards that person.
I'm going with option B.rightanswer here.Says you. He needs to post now or be lynched -- the earlier the better.
We can hang him out to dry in a few days if we need to - there are scummier players right now.The best way to get him to contribute is to ring him up. If a scummier player emerges, sure I'll buy it but right now he needs to get rung up.
As previously noted, it's only two days into D1 and this is Empking we're talking about. If he's posting like this in a week, THEN we can attack him for lurking - not now.Lamont_Cranston wrote:
Are you blind?? The game was in mid-swing and his entire post was:Slicey wrote:The game started yesterday. How in the hell is he lurking? You're not even giving him a chance!

The last time I checked that is NO contribution in an ongoing game. My vote for him is proper.
Also, hunting lurkersinstead of scumis becoming a pattern for you.Thanks & /fixed.
Trying to convince us to waste our D1 lynch on a quick lurker lynch? I THINK NOT. Even if the lurker lynch aspect of this was pro-town (and I'm NOWHERE as convinced of this as you are), the quicklynch aspect of it isn't.Lamont_Cranston wrote:

His point is valid. Supporting a wagon and scumhunting are not the same thing, they can be sure, but in your case they aren't. You supported a wagon without any real action, and thus without any real scum hunting. Also can you keep the discussion on the right topic. When talking about "supporting a wagon" don't suddenly change to "voting people" because they are not the same topic and eventually you'll slip up so bad you cant recover from it.This is so sad. You both are stuck on semantics. Please drop this stupid issue and understand how one's vote is used to hunt scum. This is pitiful.
If you know there is less to go on why would you make a statement that someone is not a lynch candidate? Wouldn't at this point there be so little No one is a lynch candidate and thus such a statement applies to everyone and thus is moot?

No my point is that based on the info we have & my investigations of Vino, he is not guilty of what he is being accused of and is being wagoned unjustly.the silent speaker wrote:Lamont:
No, Tar is right. Evidence to lynch is thinner earlier on in the game, although there's plenty in this one now, but the criteria to lynch are the same: is the player scum, or is he not? You can argue that there is less evidence for Vino than for others and therefore those others should be lynched preferential to Vino, but it is silly to call him "not a proper lynch candidate" for any reason other than "I think he's town."Surely you know that very early in the game there is less to go on than we would have once the game progresses right?

Parts of your case are so astoundingly bad it makes me wonder why you would be reaching so hard...Sorry but that's my opinion and its quite valid. I would expect better arguments from an accomplished player with his reputation. The poor quality on some of them raises my suspicion.
Tar's point wasn't that bad, really. On the one hand, you're saying that the game is still young and there's nothing much to work from, but you're still trying to differentiate who should be lynched and why, and none of the reasons you stated were sufficiently linked to why you think they are scum.Lamont_Cranston 114 wrote:I didn't know there were criteria that qualified potential lynch candidates other than "this player is likely to be scum".

Why is the famous Tar wasting time with bad arguments like this??I have explained this in another post. I have queried Vino and found the accused link between him and Rofl to be false and thus the motivations for lynching him to be false.

How, exactly, have you picked Empking out of this 13-player list?To state the issue once again, he posted a /confirm when the game was obviously in full-swing and left. This is deliberate lurking. This point is moot since he has returned. He made me happy. Btw on a side note I don't like your insinuation that I'm scum for hunting lurkers.

Ya I have to disagree with this entire concept. There are incredible scumhunting possibilities in the early game. In fact, a good case will go all the way back to the beginning of the game. To discount early game play entirely (like the above post) is aVino wrote:One thing I like about Mafia is that it's a different game depending on who you ask. You hear very often, "Mafia is ______" but the fill-in-the-blank part is never the same thing twice. If you want to make a big deal out of the trivialities at the beginning of the game then feel free, personally I don't see what all the fuss is about. In my experience major scum tells generally aren't made in the opening pages, and doesn't have much effect on things that happen in the mid and late game. This is all theory though, on to more practical matters.hugemistake.[i]Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?[/i] [url=http://www.braingle.com/community/wiki.php?user=Lamont_Cranston&page=ms_wiki]Wiki[/url]

Right because the case against you was actually generated by fish using a scumhunting technique for the early game. I have found that your vote for Rofl was neither a bus nor "fake random as scum" and so disagree with your wagon as well.[i]Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?[/i] [url=http://www.braingle.com/community/wiki.php?user=Lamont_Cranston&page=ms_wiki]Wiki[/url]

1) Ad hominem is every bit as much a logical fallacy in defense as it is in offense.Lamont_Cranston wrote:Well it appears I have thefamousTar all pissed off at me.
2) You don't have me "pissed off at you". I think that your behavior is consistent with the hypothesis that you are scum, and that you are the scummiest player in the game at this point in time. There IS a difference.
3) Take a very close look at the quoted sentence. Lamont is NOT trying to explain that his play makes sense from a pro-town perspective, nor is he arguing why another player is more likely to be scum than he is (he's advocating a policy lynch instead - again, there IS a difference). The motivation I'm seeing from Lamont is an attempt to discredit my case against it by using spin (the ad hominem "famous Tar" attack and the decision to refer to my case against him by referring to it as me being "pissed off" - which implies that it's not a real case - instead of what it actually is, namely an early-game case).
That's behavior I'd expect to see from a real life politician or from a Mafioso... but NOT from a townie.Sorry but my humourous fame reference is a null tell so there's no need to make a big deal out of it.
We're going to have to agree to disagree on most things here.
Really now? Why should I just "agree to disagree" about something I find SCUMMY, instead of continuing to pressure you about it until I'm convinced that it could come from a town perspective or until you're lynched?I'm not telling you to abandon your beliefs but you sure aren't going to convince me. I'll hunt lurkers viciously regardless of your opinion.
(Also, wherever did you get the idea that you could just order me to take a course of action and I would agree to do so?)Ditto.
1) The clear implication here ("astoundingly bad, "I wonder why you're reaching so hard") is that you think I am scummy, but you don't come out and say so. Why is that? Are you trying to avoid a conflict?Parts of your case are so astoundingly bad it makes me wonder why you would be reaching so hard...I'm only suggesting that it IS odd you are reaching so hard with such a bad case. The majority of the points you've made don't match the vigor with which you have pursued the case.
2) Again, trying to discredit my case with spin, though this time there is a small grain of truth to the attack (I do tend to somewhat overstate cases in the early game, since there's less to work with).A little more than slight here, yeah.
3) Keep this sentence in mind if Lamont tries to attack me for "reaching" later: he's clearly setting up such an attack (attack first with vague rationale, invent the longer rationale later), using language I strongly associate with scum.I definitely am pointing it out and thank you for helping me to do so.
Again, spin (trying to show that you don't care via the LOL, when it's quite clear you do) and blatantly obvious deflection (as far as I'm concerned, "You really should be looking elsewhere" = "Hey, look over there, a distraction!", or else maybe the old Southern rhyme: "Don't tax you, don't tax me, tax that ****** behind that tree.")But let's get started:
1) Theoretically, referring to "supporting wagons" should be a scumtell. Scum have a reason to support a wagon just because it's a wagon (it's in scum's best interests to have just about any lynch, especially on a nonscum player and even sometimes on a scum player), while a townie's goal is to lynch the scum and thus their reason for joining a bandwagon should be "because I think he's scum", so "supporting a bandwagon" (much like "I like my vote") is theoretically more likely to come from a scum mindset.Tarhalindur wrote:

Why is the famous Tar wasting time with bad arguments like this??the primary reason for lynching is because you think a player is more likely to be scum than other players).Well you are 50% correct here. Votes can also be placed to apply pressure to test for reactions. Since you made half my case I figured I would fill in the other half.
2) The argument you're using is, in fact, an argument AGAINST your pushing for quicklynches: since quicklynching is likely to result in an effectively random lynch, the logical conclusion for town is to wait a few real-life days (for more players to post more, and to give anyone who was temporarily low on access a chance to make more involved posts), make cases (even/especially on weak grounds, because the responses to those cases on weak ground create cases on strong grounds later), and generally wait for more information before lynching?Waiting around is not the correct repsonse for lurkers. Really though the goal is to get them to come back and VOTES is what accomplishes this.
1) Which you didn't say here - the reasoning provided in this post (for "withdrawing support of a wagon", I might add) is that Korlash is fun to play with.
Again, why does "fun to play with" equal "shouldn't be bandwagoned"? Scum can be fun to play with, after all...Lamont_Cranston wrote:
Kewl. Well you look super fun to play with and so I withdraw my support of your wagon.Korlash wrote:No, I never said anything about him convincing me. I'm saying you can't claim to have "called out scum" on day 1 unless you also recognize your failure at lynching those scum day 1 as well. If you call player A out as scum but are incapable of lynching them and end up lynching Player B, you have no real claim to fame at calling player A out. The game of mafia isn't about calling people out as scum, it's about proving they are scum and forcing everyone else to help you kill them.
And FYI I didn't lose in LYLO. Being wrong and losing are two different things. I had two super awesome townies watching my back that saved us the game. And yes, Pop had some small hand in it as well.Are you skimming too? I already explained this. The fun note is a side note. The main reason I unvoted him is because he wasn't exhibiting the behavior I thought he was (he explained it)...Quit pushing an argument that makes no sense. I've already explained why I withdrew the vote; because he no longer exhibited the behavior that I specified. It is really useless to keep pushing this line because it is patently false.
2) Now that you mention it, why the HELL would you as a townie push for a player to be lynched solely for behavior in a past game? Especially a player who some players in the game (I, for one) have played with before and can get a decent read on with time and posts?It was a fun probe in the beginning of the game. I was basically taking Tajo's side of their argument and positing that a person that would blame others in THIS game of losing in lylo should be voted. As it turned out I was incorrect so I withdrew my vote. This was all obvious if you had looked at all of the posts involved.
Let me get this straight:
1) Wrong: Correct answer is E: Wait a few days to make sure they're lurking, then investigate, vig, or deadline lynch them (preferably vig).Lamont_Cranston wrote:

So? It's the beginning of D1. The people who just random voted are about as guilty as Emp in posting no content. There was little to say at that point. Do you really expect to him to say "X is scum because of this" on Page 3?Lamont_Cranston wrote:
Are you just skimming? Did you not see him post /confirm in the middle of the ongoing game and post nothing more and leave?Slicey wrote:
wtf is this statement. are you actually serious? are you accusing someone of lurking when the game started yesterday and is only 4 pages in? I posted only one time as well when you posted that. Does that mean I should be lynched because I am lurking?Lamont_Cranston wrote:

Also, extreme amounts of enthusiasm is worth noting. Also, note the poor logic in why he wants to lynch people. Korlash because something that happened in another game and Empking because he's 'lurking.'
Unvote, Vote: Lamont
also, love the awesome australian players <3
Why are you jumping on this bandwagon??
I'm not jumping on this BW. I have good reason to vote you. You're trying to say someone is lurking when the game has barely even begun. You're either:
A. Scumbuddies with Emp, and you're trying to distance yourself, albeit making it way too obvious. Possibly because Emp is generally seen scummy.
B. Scum whose using bad reasoning and making a crap attack against Emp to appear more town.
C. Town whose using bad reasoning and making a crap attack against Emp.
D. Properly pointing out someone is lurking and taking the proper town action towards that person.
I'm going with option B.rightanswer here.Says you. He needs to post now or be lynched -- the earlier the better.
We can hang him out to dry in a few days if we need to - there are scummier players right now.The best way to get him to contribute is to ring him up. If a scummier player emerges, sure I'll buy it but right now he needs to get rung up.
1) Empking posts late with only a /confirm, which could be due to any number of out-of-game reasons (say, a day with a lot of work or a family gathering).Sorry. If you can post "/confirm", you can post "/confirm I got family probs" or w/e. He didn't, that's my point.
2) In order to punish Empking for "lurking" (a completely unfounded charge given that the game had only been going for a day), you propose that we quicklynch him (not directly stated, but implied by "the earlier the better") - the course of action that does the MOST to shorten the amount of time Empking would have to come back and make another post.As I stated earlier waiting until another day is not the best policy for lurkers and so "the sooner the better" means TODAY rather than any other day (as you were suggesting ).
And what's more, when I suggest several options for dealing with Empking should he be proven a lurker (through not posting for several days), you reject them! And these aren't even the best options for dealing with lurkers, since I forgot to list the very best: the almighty PROD, administered by our local Moderator on behalf of the players (and if you look again at the first post you'll note a 72-hour activity requirement, more than sufficient for forcing at least some posts from Empking).!You fail to notice that he was DELIBERATELY lurking so your strange fantasy about his tremendous RL problems where he couldn't make 10 extra keystrokes really makes no sense whatsoever. Once again a player of your talents making such a big deal out of this is really over the top, and WHY?
/Fixed back.
As previously noted, it's only two days into D1 and this is Empking we're talking about. If he's posting like this in a week, THEN we can attack him for lurking - not now.Lamont_Cranston wrote:
Are you blind?? The game was in mid-swing and his entire post was:Slicey wrote:The game started yesterday. How in the hell is he lurking? You're not even giving him a chance!
/confirm
The last time I checked that is NO contribution in an ongoing game. My vote for him is proper.
Also, hunting lurkers instead of scum is becoming a pattern for you.Thanks & /fixed.
1) As I noted previously, lurker hunting is a popular scum pastime precisely BECAUSE it allows them to get players lynched that often aren't scum.Says you. I say lurking is a scum pastime and wow look at that we are on even ground.
1) Confirming and/or killing lurkish players is what vigs (killing them off), investigative roles (investigating them), and post analysis are for (even lurkish players can be read, and as long as you're sure a player is town and will post enough to vote before deadline you have no reason to vote that player, EVER). If we think a lurkish player is scum because he or she is posting like scum, we lynch that player... just like any other case.
Trying to convince us to waste our D1 lynch on a quick lurker lynch? I THINK NOT. Even if the lurker lynch aspect of this was pro-town (and I'm NOWHERE as convinced of this as you are), the quicklynch aspect of it isn't.Lamont_Cranston wrote:
Dam he needs to stop it. Do you think a quick D1 lynch will help?Vino wrote:Re Empking: he lurked the fuck out of the last game I was in him with, which coincidentally is the same game as the one roflcopter and I was in. He wasn't scum that game though, I think he just doesn't come online much. So, his lurking is a null tell in my book.The town will benefit greatly from forcing him to post. If a strong case elsewhere appears then fine the sooner lurkers are removed the better because as I am sure you know scum love having them around in the endgame and if we wait until mid-game when we have stronger cases that have to be dealt with, things just devolve from there.
2) Weak early game cases are what ALLOW us to build the strong cases in midgame.
It's completely serious now.LOL. This is the best you have for a completely serious case? You really should be looking elsewhere.NO. You REALLY should be looking elsewhere. Its exactly what I mean.[i]Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?[/i] [url=http://www.braingle.com/community/wiki.php?user=Lamont_Cranston&page=ms_wiki]Wiki[/url]

You realize I never voted Vino, right? So, you know, your whole premise that you're voting for a Vino BWer is false.
Not to mention 'I've been looking to vote for someone whose BWing this other person early D1' is one of the scummiest things I've ever heard.Its not that bad.

The wagon was started by fishy. All three listed above just wagoned with no real reason. Only one of them named two people they would vote which would be Tajo.Vino (3): Korlash, roflcopter, populartajo
I also find it interesting that both Korlash & Tajo are on the same wagon after all that banter back and forth. Could be early D1 scum bussing.

Well I'd like some time to start playing better. I'm not used to making mistakes like this and such. Sort of off to a bad start I guess... 9.9
I think its reasonable to assume that there could be scum on the Vino wagon. I would suspect Rofl & Tajo more than Korlash.
So I think my vote is in the right place with Tajo atm.[i]Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?[/i] [url=http://www.braingle.com/community/wiki.php?user=Lamont_Cranston&page=ms_wiki]Wiki[/url]

Ya talking more is always better especially this early. I am especially interested why he included me as the "second option" for his vote besides Vino.

I really dont like this Santos post. It is a soft-claim. I would of preferred it if nobody had noticed it but since it has come up, I will say I find it very suspicious. Soft claims hold no merit whatsoever. They either help scum find a PR or give scum something to hide behind.Fishythefish wrote:
This sounds incredibly insincere. Surely you don't think that anyone wants you to roleclaim, nor that anyone would think it was a sane idea.Santos wrote:I can role claim if you like, but it would only help scum safe claim later.

Why mention it if you have a unique PR?? The proper town action here is to force a full-claim.

First of all I'm nowhere near a lynch and second of all, unlike you, I have made no comments about claiming nor have any desire to claim. You on the other hand brought claiming up for no reason whatsoever in two instances.
