959: Malth's Alternate Reality: Game Over

[Twomz]

Btw, we're at lynch -2, please no one hammer before Fate posts.

[Pittbunny]

unvote

In case we have a hidden voter. Thanks for the heads-up.

[SocioPath]

In previous games I have observed scum keeping up "banter" longer than they should.

I enjoy banter.
It is a tool.

Why should I value the opinion of people who are wrong?

ITP UK doesn't value UK opinions.

And I never get lynched, not til D3 anyway.

This is a good reason for a lynchen.



I would like to know Cobalt's POV though for the first batch of UK posts that he commented on as her being scum.

[UncertainKitten]

Twomz' reaction to my reaction makes it hilariously blatant he's scum ^-^

@Pitt: A who?

@Jack: Congratulations, you acknowledge step 2 of scumhunting and promptly fail at it. So let's up the question. Why am I, as scum, more likely to act the way I did? If you can explain that, then maybe you would actually not seem as silly as you are at the moment.

@SP: Hmmmmmmmmmmm...

Nyeh, I have nothing to say atm wrt your latest post.


Pitt's unvote actually bothers me a lot.

[Pittbunny]

I don't trust Mal to not have a person that votes via FoS or something similar, especially in a game that has no vanillas. Assuming that each person only has two abilities, that's at least 24 powers running about. Vote influencing's not unlikely in that scenario.

[Jack]

Have you played in a game hosted by "Mal" before?

[Pittbunny]

No. Context is all I have to make that assumption by.

[UncertainKitten]

I'm trying to figure out where Pitt gets "everyone has two powers" from.

[Cobalt]

I would like to know Cobalt's POV though for the first batch of UK posts that he commented on as her being scum.

read her first posts in iso.
first, I dislike her interaction with pitt early on ("oh, you're a VI, you're making a lot of mistakes" etc). Reeks of coaching.
Then observe her iso 6. Complaints about quote striping and some indirect defense of pitt. Then in her next two posts, does she address the game-relevant material? No, she continues to complain about quoting. Then some more defense of pitt and I vote her. Her contribution has been so focused on pitt and she produced so much spam that she's addressing little else up till I voted her.

[Pittbunny]

Well, it can either be A. Me claiming off my PM or B. A rough estimate. 1,2,3, the fact is that we have quite a few powers that can run amok.

Also, I'm going to apologize in advance if I double-post. My submit-button isn't sending me to the "Message Sent" page, and I've had to backtrack-pagereset-doublecheck to make sure a post actually went through.

[Cobalt]

wow, I was right.

[UncertainKitten]

Cobalt: What about Sociopath's interaction with me that caused me to talk about the quote stripe bullshit for more than one post? Or were you going to conveniently ignore that?

Though, to be fair, Pitt's most recent posts make me more ill at ease about him.

[Pittbunny]

As you've been trying to imply for the last three posts, yes. No need to be so redundant about it if you're just going to be vague.

[UncertainKitten]

But redundancy gets people lynched! Trouble is, I don't want to drop Twomz since he's been pretty bad.

To be clear, the unvote is one of those things that just overall feels like "Look at me I'm so conscientious and protown", and also would theoretically make you look better were I lynched anyway. The weird speculation about 2 powers per role feels like a slight rolefish, almost as if you are daring people to contradict you.

The non confrontational fluff doesn't help.

[Cobalt]

scumdar pinging. you chose to address the presence of non-game material rather than the absence of game material. feel free to claim before we lynch you.

[SocioPath]

I dislike her interaction with pitt early on ("oh, you're a VI, you're making a lot of mistakes" etc). Reeks of coaching.

This, yes. Rest, no.

[UncertainKitten]

I...

That's...

I have an o.O face at how fucking retarded you're being.

That's...it boggles the mind that you are somehow manufacturing a scumtell like that.

Please, explain how that makes me scummy before I have an aneurysm.

Also, you aren't going to lynch me. It's impossible. You MIGHT get my claim but that would be because people on my wagon are pretty across the board boneheads. I'd advise not forcing it to such measures, and actually hunting scum.

I'm also curious how much "Game material" you had by page 3 I think it was?

[Pittbunny]

I'm going to have to agree with UK on the "What the hell are you smoking Cobalt" platform.

And the problem with redundancy is that once someone mentions it (like I just did), it becomes a blatant Appeal to Repetition. As to rolefishing, why shouldn't I rolefish? As Jake questioned I don't have any experience with this mod, and only know the fact that "This is a game with no vanillas". Besides, I can use my attempt to fish as a way to ensure that everyone gets at least some form of scope as to the extent of what can occur on a Day/Night cycle. Granted, I can't help much with just Day 1, but I find that the ballpark numbers of 12,24,36 should be indicative of, well, a game of strategical intrigue.

[Cobalt]

yep, pitt and UK are scum
/thread

[Pittbunny]

Because I agree that your latest post makes no sense. Right.

And you're not going to lump Sociopath in with this little tirade too? Or did you just go after me because I specifically called you out? Cobalt, content. I want some. I don't care if you provide nothing but flowery absurdities, just provide something that doesn't make you look more VI than I already do.

Unvote, Vote Pitt

Seriously? You admit that you want to rolefish? How is outting roles at all beneficial? That just friggen gives the scum a pretty good idea who they should target.

I'm...just boggling at that statement even more than I was at Cobalt's.

Also, cute, Cobalt.

I notice that you don't explain your scumtell. Probably because you can't ^-^.

[Cobalt]

scumdar pinging. you chose to address the presence of non-game material rather than the absence of game material. feel free to claim before we lynch you.

a town player would at least argue based on game material. a town UK would say "but I WAS contributing" or "yeah, I spammed a lot, now I'm going to scumhunt." not "but Sociopath MADE me talk about useless garbage, honest".

[Cobalt]

oh, I see UK noticed her scumpartner is useless

[Pittbunny]

Did I say anything about outing roles? Rolefishing doesn't have to target specifics; I want scope. It can be as general as you'd like, so long as it's data. Even a genre-claim would provide something, though that example isn't that good via your scum-reference bit. I don't think that getting this close to a hammer so early when we've got only about half of the players active is wise.
