[AlmasterGM]

I... never read the first post >.>

I guess I should have. In any case,

Vote: AlamasterGM

. This is not a random vote. I will not provide reasoning.

Cool. Feel free to provide that reasoning whenever.

[jeromus]

You opened by claiming so in both...Gah. Good night, the internet, I'll be V/LA for the next 4 days - The mod know this - I apologise for any inconvenience...

Actually, given the flavour, how does this sound?
Xbox Live account ran out.

[xRECKONERx]

Well, this game is gonna be dead in the water if every fucking player goes V/LA in the first two pages.

[jeromus]

Sorry - parents are forcing the beach upon me...

You say your vote is not random, and yet you will not provide reasoning? In the interest of getting out of the RVS in a timely manner:

unvote, vot: reckoner

[xRECKONERx]

You say your vote is not random, and yet you will not provide reasoning?

Yes. Thank you for repeating exactly what I said in my vote post.

[xRECKONERx]

Oh but wait, you put a "?" on the end... I

totally

get it now.

He was using that as reasoning for his vote - If a vote has no reasoning, then it is random. If it has no reasoning that is shared just yet, then it is slightly less of a lie.

Is it random, or are you just not sharing? Doing that whole "Reaction Fishing" thing?

[AlmasterGM]

I just re-read Reck's post. I thought he said he was going to provide reasoning ... with an implied later. Apparently, he is simply not going to provide reasoning.

Amusing. Glad to see you enjoy contributing to the game. What reason could you

possibly

have now that you cannot share with the rest of us?

Rhetorical question, obviously, seeing as you've already committed yourself to being an enigma.

Is this a policy vote or is it random?

You catch on quickly.

Anyway, my vote's gonna stay right now. bv310, who are you referring to?
Pssst... let's all be careful of bv310, he tends to lurk his ass off all the goddamn time.

[bv310]

It was referring to you, Reck. And I'm trying to post more when I actually have something to contribute that's not just "I agree with so-and-so".

[xRECKONERx]

Uhhh my vote on AGM wasn't 100% random. lrn2read

[Kast]

Did no one else read the flavor in the first post? It states that we are trying to stop the flood... so speculating otherwise makes little sense.

Yes. There's no example town PM, but I'm assuming everyone else's (town) PMs say as much as well.

Primary scum is Flood. If there are other scum (second group/SK/other 3rd party), I could see any of a number of things, but at the moment, everything points heavily to a straightforward Flood mafia.

@Reck-
Thanks for getting things moving. Please don't do any "I'm gonna be scummy because I'm bored" moves, unless you're actually scum.

-Your vote wasn't 100% random, but was it some other % random?
-Was your vote arbitrary?

[xRECKONERx]

@Kast:

You're welcome.

I won't this time. Maybe.

It was 78.49% random.

What do you mean by arbitrary?

[AlmasterGM]

@Reck - Putting aside the irony of "78.49%," how can you justify any number that is not either 0% of 100% at this stage of the game?

[xRECKONERx]

Because there's a reason behind it, it's just not a good one, but it's better than "ELL OH ELL RANDOM VOTE".

[xvart]

Vote: AlamasterGM

. This is not a random vote. I will not provide reasoning.

As annoying as this is, I have seen something similar in a previous (ended) game.

This person essentially said there was a reason behind it, but would not give any details. Stuart ended up being town and the person he voted for with no provided justification was scum. I still don't think I ever got the justification and it was not role related information. Of course, now that Reckoner has said some nonsense about 74.xx% I guess the two aren't exactly comparable.

xvart.

[Kast]

@Reck-
Arbitrary as in you may have a reason for your vote, but the reason does not actually implicate AGM as scum (or may implicate multiple people equally well).

@xvart-
Anecdotal evidence like that isn't as applicable as meta-information since playstyles vary greatly from player to player. If you have links to games in which Reck has posted that way as a townie, then that would be pretty relevant.

Also, even bad play can get lucky and turn out good results. If someone tried to out and lynch the cop in every game, eventually he's going to get lucky and end up lynching scum. That wouldn't make outing and attempting to lynch the cop a viable town strategy or acceptable behavior.

@Reck and no reasons-
I'm a strong proponent of townies providing reasons for what they do. Sometimes there are reasons to keep your reasons secret. If so, you better provide that eventually.

From what I've seen of Reck, he's a bit...reckless...I could see him voting with no reason as a townie. Doesn't make it good, but for the moment he is breaking RVS and answering questions. Also, a single, early, unexplained vote isn't going to kill town. I expect an explanation eventually (actually, I'm guessing he's going to throw his vote around more as the day progresses).

[cruelty]

unvote, vote snow white

[xRECKONERx]

Damn straight.

Actually, it's a stupid reason, I just wanted to get reactions. I thought it was minutely scummy that I purposely commented incorrectly on the flavor of the game and AGM didn't say anything about it. That's enough scumminess at this point to justify me moving out of the RVS, albeit only slightly.
