Open 214 - Lovers Mafia (Game over)

[Mindgamer]

Mindgamer, did you have a look at my past games too to see if I've ever dice-voted before?

No, because it was the imitation, not the dice rolling itself, that interested me.

No, because it was the imitation, not the dice rolling itself, that interested me.

Then why check to see if I'd rolled dice before? Why not check to see if I've imitated someone's early play?

[Mindgamer]

Yesss. Haylen over you because you already had a vote.
In general I like to make a vote at the start of the game. The posts on this page have had only light content in them, at least nothing to base a 'serious' vote on.

Firstly, I haven't received a vote this game. And secondly, why not put a vote on someone who already had one?

*checks* Hmm, my fault.
I didn't put a second vote on someone because... I wasn't in the mood to do that.

If you hadn't dice rolled before it was clearly an imitation. Checking for dice rolls takes a lot less time and effort than checking for imitations of play. That isn't worth it since imitation is a small scumtell at best.

[Maemuki]

What's your take on what's happened so far, Miss Mae?

Nyaha~ Personally, I think that Mindgamer is taking the RVS a bit too seriously. Maybe that's just me? Also, where did Haylie go?

2) Maemuki's like 10. She's jailbait. 'nuff said.

I'M

TWELVE

[Haylen]

Hoopla
Why did you choose to vote Haylen over one of the other four players with a vote already?

Haylen deserves some vote love too.

You are correct!

Vote Haylen

As a side note: This Large Sausage roll is good.

Incog Votes Maemuki ----> Mae votes Incog. I SMELL OMGUS! :3

[Haylen]

Uhh...holy fuck!

Unvote

Jeeze people make it clear that your voting me in a six player, 2 scum game BEFORE I self votes >.>

[camn]

Why can't Incog-town get a lover too? I knew off the top of my head that those three were unloveable for various reasons:

Also Horse manure.
And SO contrived!

Is it scum-contrived? Or breaking the RVS contrived?
Who can tell.

I, however, have an admission to make.
I have taken to using the word "scummy" when I really mean "annoying".
I need to correct that.

However, @ Mindgamer... Imitation is a SMALL scumtell ? I think of it as a slightly larger scumtell.. in that you can later weasel out of your actions saying it was just imitation!
However.. I saw Hoopla's dice-roll as "making-the-circle-complete" more than imitation.

------preview edit-----------

Hi Haylen. Are you scum?

[Hoopla]

Just when I was thinking this game was off to a sensible start...

[Haylen]

Hi Haylen. Are you scum?

Did i claim scum?

Yo, Mae! Marks out of ten for Self Vote and Claim!

[Haylen]

As another side note: I had a drink (pint of pepsi) in the bar with someone on my course today ^.^ I feel very proud of myself...cause I'm scared of going out...And now she's invited me to spend some time with her family cause I don't get out much.

7.9/10. Microwaves are one of the few sounds that can put me to sleep during the day. Wait, mad scientist? Nevermind, 8.6/10.

Incog Votes Maemuki ----> Mae votes Incog. I SMELL OMGUS! :3

*puts soap in front of your nose* What do you smell now? :3

[Hoopla]

Hey Haylen.

Put a vote on someone.

[Incognito]

Nyaha~ Personally, I think that Mindgamer is taking the RVS a bit too seriously.

Really? More seriously than say me or even Hoopla? Can you point out what makes you feel that way?
And more importantly, can you explain why scum would be more likely to take RVS more seriously than town would?

@camn:

What's contrived about that?

-~-~

At the moment, I can buy Mindgamer's responses. I'm receiving a minor town vibe from him in that I think town would be more likely to meta-game at this point of the game than scum would -- especially coupling this with the fact that the Search function is down, which would make looking through games more difficult than it normally would. It's just a minor tell right now though.

@Haylen:

If you continue to post loads of IIoA when I feel this game has had pretty decent content to comment on, I will vote you and seriously push for your lynch hard. Share your

game-related

thoughts so far.

[camn]

Did i claim scum?

Claim SK ...

Then she didn't even deny it.

So, Haylen. You ARE scum?

[camn]

Alternatively, since we know Haylen's claim is a joke-claim.. one could argue that she is NOT anything on that list. Thus NOT a:

SK

Large Sausage Roll

Double Voter

Funky Mad Scientist
Paella

Townie

Sauce Pan

Tracker

Plastic Bag

Watcher

Microwave or

Doc

.

That leaves this as her possible role:

Mafia Scum

.

[Hoopla]

Camn, are you jokeposting? I haven't worked out your humour yet.

[camn]

@camn:

What's contrived about that?

Um.. it is almost more random than random!
You die-rolled instead of straight-up random voting why? To look like you weren't playing typical RVS, right?
...But I have seen you pull better first-votes than that.. so wtf?


ALSO..Your explanation doesn't wash.
After I thought about it.. I thought that the townie reason for doing it is easy: To see how people would react...

But you didn't name that as a reason.

Instead you are trying to use your love-charms on me and Hoopla... hmph.

Camn, are you jokeposting? I haven't worked out your humour yet.

My jokes are funny. Thats how you know.
But specifically.. I am not DEAD serious... but maybe a little.
Haylen is sweet. She doesn't like to lie. She can joke all she wants.. but outright lying is hard for her.

Really? I would have thought such a vivid imagination would be well capable of lying. I don't understand your logik though - why is it reasonable to believe that she wouldn't include her role in her claim? Isn't an equally logical (and simpler) explaination that she is a 'townie' and then isn't lying at all?

[camn]

Could be. But I think she avoided claiming what she actually is.
She claimed SK.. but not GodFather. Why? Why not Framer? Why not Goon?
Because it was a joke, thus the truth cannot intrude!

More important: Notice how she dodged the "are you scum" question.

That is her subconscious speaking.
I am a friend, and she is disinclined to lie to my face.

Incog: am I wrong here?

[Maemuki]

I am a friend, and she is disinclined to lie to my face.

Funny, that has happened to me a lot, especially with Haylie.

@ Incog, I...don't know. Gut, I guess. Then again, nobody had dice rolled on the RVS in one of my games, so maybe it's just me.

Also, chance to attack somebody for no reason.

[Incognito]

Camn, reaction gathering has become such an inherent part of all my opening votes that I completely forgot to list that as one of the reasons. But yes, that was one of the reasons too, obv. I'm sure you could recall me using a similar random voting technique in Mini 803 where I didn't explain why I chose the four people I chose there, and I waited to see how people reacted to my vote first. I figured I'd employ a similar strategy here, but I explained the logic from the joke perspective instead of the serious one. Ya get?

I don't understand your post 40; I've seen absolutely no empirical data that suggests that Haylen has a tendency to leave off her actual role when she does her joking claim stuff. In fact, the only time I've seen her do this role claim thing was in my Mafia 108 here and if you notice, she actually

did

claim her role in that post. I do slightly agree that her not answering your "are you scum?" question could be a tell, though.

Having said that, I'm concerned about the fact that you seem pretty set on your Haylen-is-scum sentiment but yet you haven't switched your vote to her. Reasons? Here, I'll even get the ball rolling for you -

unvote
vote: Haylen

Also, chance to attack somebody for no reason.

I think we differ in opinion then. In my experience, I've found that the people who try to push the game out of the RVS, or the ones who try to build mountains out of the molehills of the "joke vote stage" are more often town than scum. Have you seen otherwise?

[Haylen]

unvote
vote: Haylen

Bugger off. I'm not in a good mood. Cant describe it. Bad Day. Doing PBPA.

I dont give a shit whether people think i am or am not scum.

[Incognito]

I don't want a PBPA. I want general thoughts about the game and about each player. Your PBPAs are generally too long and are, quite frankly, completely unnecessary at such an early stage of the game. Short, concise thoughts every so often are much, much better. Everyone has moods, everyone has feelings, but people still make it a habit to post. Do you think that every time I post, I have a huge, cheesy smile on my face and am listening to "I'm Siiiiiiinging in the Rain"? No.

Now, why did you pop back into the thread directly after receiving another vote?

[Haylen]

You're too demanding, Incog >.>
I've been crying on and off for the past 3 hrs cause I failed an assignment due to poor structuring of sentences, poor grammar and poor punchuation. They're basically saying I'm never gonna get a uni qualification cause I'm dyslexic. Sorry for taking that out on you .__.

I'm suspicious of Mindgamers vote on me because he didnt have his eye on anyone else. I still think Mae OMGUS'd you mainly because she didn't respond properly to me saying it earlier. I think Incog's being agressive - dunno what this means. I'm more suspicious of his confirming his vote for Maemuki and then voting for me a page later - could be a sign of vote hopping. camn's post 42 gives me town vibes - she is also correct when she says outright lying is difficult for me .__. I disagree with Hoopla saying I have a vivid imagination but I'm not really suspicious of her right now.
