Mini 934 - Troubles at Smiths&Catharts (Game Over!)

[Ythan]

I wasn't going to go wading through Ray's meta for evidence on such a minor vote. Like my vote on IJL, that's just where I was keeping it until someone scummier came along. If NS's meta was an issue, I would go look at it.

[Thor665]

Why'd you move your vote from IJL to Ray?

[Ythan]

The vote on IJL was even weaker.

[Thor665]

Are you "just keeping" your vote on NS, or do you actually believe he is scummy?

[Ythan]

NS is my first strong vote. I think he's scum, not just the most likely to be scum.

[Pomegranate]

As for expounding (absolutely love that word), here's some clarification:

Ray Flips Scum
------------------
NS voted for Ray after what I think is a very interesting case developed against him, bandwagon? I think so. Especially since the case seemed valid (again, IMO), I believe NS [if scum] thought Ray might get lynched. He then voted, in an attempt to bus his partner.

Ray Flips Town
-----------------
NS bandwagons on a Townie, which I would dislike.


I shouldn't have said either way he's scum, I'll admit that was a bit much, but either way to me it does look very suspicious.
I didn't vote because I would like to see what NS does.
[Kids, the moral to this post is to never bandwagon.]

So basically, NS is scum regardless.

Also, bandwagons = information, which is good for town, so you're wrong.

--

I must have been learnded wrong then, because in my first town game most used wagoning as a scumtell. Excuse my mafia illiteracy.

Well, it does really depend on the circumstance, but without a real BW, how could a lynch be acheived? Bandwagons are a natural part of the game, which wouldn't be able to function without them.

--

On the note, there has been entirely too little voting in this game. I want everyone not voting to vote for someone in their next post.

If you say so.

vote: Zorblag

I'm just done with an unexpectedly pleasant (if internet-free) weekend. I'll take a look at where we are when I get done teaching today and have some input.

He said this two days ago, trying to fly under the radar.
@Zorblag: Can you please put your input into the game?

I actually really like the feel of thei vote, It gives me a slight, (and slightly odd) town feeling on TCC, despite this post, which just looks a bit newbish to me:

But i would much rather lynch scum, as for plans, i am just waiting for someone to slip up at the moment, so no i dont ahve any 'plans' for pursuing scum at the moment

--

Scrambles, how long are you willing to wait for NS before you do decide to vote him? Why is this different from the other votes you have placed so far in the game?

I am not fond of NS's lurking. Especially since he has posted in other games after I called him out on st00f. I like to let people defend themselves before I vote, however.

So, to clarify, you're waiting for him to post. Right?

--

Let me categorize everyone to show my view on everyone:

Lurking (in no particular order) :

NobodySpecial
Zorblag
Sajin
Inquisitor JL

Active Lurking:
RayFrost
TheCheshireCat

Not really making sense:
ScrambleTheDeathDealer
Ythan

Posting some content (Satisfactory):
Sotty7
Copper

Posting real content AND MAKING ME HAPPY:
Thor665

So, more people should try to emulate Thor. Got it? Now that that's setteled, let's continue our regularly scheduled Mafia game.

[Sajin]

Sorry I have been feeling ill. Mega post up soon.

[Zorblag]

Troll must say that Troll has no trouble at all with someone casting a vote Troll's way based on what Troll has done thus far this game (i.e. nothing at all useful.) Troll has twice now said that Troll will post at some time and failed to follow up. In fact, that be all that Troll has put into the game. That be pretty unacceptable and a decent thing to watch to make sure scum no can get away with.

Having said that, Troll has been away from all of Troll's games in this span so Troll does hope that getting into the game and being a part of it should offset that quickly enough. Troll had expected that Troll would be joining this game later on in the process when Troll had a bit more time to be about but that no was what happened.

And unfortunately this no will be the post where Troll starts to provide any content. The start to the week was much less pleasant than the weekend though also largely internet free. If Troll no has time to get into this game by tomorrow Troll will need to request a replacement. Troll very much hopes that no will be the case.

[Ythan]

How does Troll feel about Cheshire's case on Troll?

[Sotty7]

Pom how about you post a townie/scum list instead of a content list?

[Thor665]

Actually I'd prefer just scum lists. I'm of the mind that full townie/scum lists tend to start helping scum if too many people do them.

It does concern me that she could quite reasonably place 50% of the players into a lurking category.

[Ythan]

Scum lists good town lists generally not good.

[Ythan]

NS has been posting in another game I'm in but not in this one. He's on right now even.

[Nobody Special]

NS has been posting in another game I'm in but not in this one. He's on right now even.

I believe this violates the rule of not talking about another ongoing game.

Mod?

[Ythan]

That's your response? That's all you have to say? I'm not endangering the other game. I'm outing you as a lurker.

[Sotty7]

In my opinion it doesn't because it's talking about activity not about what is going on in said game. But surely you have more to say than just that?

[Nobody Special]

That's your response? That's all you have to say? I'm not endangering the other game. I'm outing you as a lurker.

It's still totally fucking bullshit.

[Ythan]

Still nothing else to say?

[Ythan]

The no talking about ongoing games outside the thread rule means no cheating in that game by carrying on discussions limited to certain players. This obviously is not that.

[Sotty7]

Also, I'm fine with just scum lists if that's how you all want to play it. I personally see no harm in scum/town lists as long as every one doesn't post one at the same time

[Sotty7]

That's your response? That's all you have to say? I'm not endangering the other game. I'm outing you as a lurker.

It's still totally fucking bullshit.

Why so angry about being called out on this?

[Ythan]

And there he goes again.

Activity check in progress...

Nobody Special requested replacement. Currently looking for one.

Standby for word of mod about Ythan-NS thing

[Col.Cathart]

It seems we have some problems with 'he's posting in another thread!' issue.

First of all, it's an issue with the other game of Nobody Special rather than issue in this game, because you're discussing about OTHER GAME in Mini 934. There is a rule against discussing Mini 934 in other threads, but and there's no rule that would forbid discussing other games here (if anything - expect repercussions from that other game Mod, not me), although I would rather like you to talk here about Mini 934, not about the other games.

But, since we're already discussing it - if I'll encounter in another thread 'you're posting in Mini 934, but not here!' I'm not going to react, because someone else (probably outside of this game) started talking about it. BUT, if you'll start dwelling on that topic (for example explaining why you are posting here and not there etc.), I WILL punish you either with forced replacement or even modkill.

Keep that in mind and carry on.

[Ythan]

Then how about "I have firsthand experience that NS is lurking but I can't tell you where it's from."

Because I have firsthand experience that he's lurking but I can't tell you where it's from.
