Voting to Replace
Should the town have the option of voting to forcibly replace a VI? I know that in a recently completed game of mine, Open 209, the town was plagued early on by a person whose greatest contribution to the game was "I'm a townie with bad gas, lets kill everyone" who refused to replace out or flake for long enough to replace out, and when the entire town voted to forcibly replace them out, the mod refused.
I'm not sure I can quite describe how bad the play was other than to say that I reported him early on for trolling because I honestly can't think that anyone would be that brain-damaged and still know how to type.The textwaller of d00m-

Easy enough for you to say, but drumming up lynch support for him was harder than you think. Trust me, I tried (and failed).CLICK HERE FOR THE ALDUSKKEL APPRECIATION PAGE

Open 209. The player in question is Sniper.
If vote-replacing had been allowed, he probably would have been booted out, but as it was he was never lynched.Seraphim wrote:You can vote to get him replaced but you can't get him lynched?CLICK HERE FOR THE ALDUSKKEL APPRECIATION PAGE

Uh, I believe I refused to have him replaced. The mods jobs is to make sure everybody is posting, not that they are contributing.bouncy.bouncy wrote:Mod should force replace for not trying to win.

QFT. As long as they aren't breaking the rules the mod shouldn't get involved.Haylen wrote:

I'll have a game soon enough for annoyances and lurkers alike.

edit: omfg that guy is hilarious! I'm glad I wasn't playing that, and sorry for those that dealt with him, but he's so damn funny. I wouldn't be surprised if it's an alt.
Unvote! Vote: crypto!

I believe you're looking for this thread. And that guy was painfully town.
Protip, if someone is that stupid/annoying and hasn't been lynched, it's because they have to scumbuddies to bus them.- bouncy.bouncy

Sounds like the town got it right. They were able to determine from his behavior that he was town. So...problem?I have a degree in bullshit. I have patents on entire lines of bullshit. So don't sit here and feed me a line of bullshit and think that I'm not going to recognize it as one.

Yeah he was painfully town, even playing as scum in multifaction that read was there.shaft.ed wrote:I believe you're looking for this thread. And that guy was painfully town.
What made it interesting was that all the scum seemed to realize this, and none of the town, which ended up in scum keeping him around for mislynch purposes. Despite him being erratic.Temporary unretired alt- xRECKONERx

No, the town definately should not have this option. Replacements are not good for the game, they should be avoided if possible. Giving the town the option of voting for a replacement will probably mean that weaker players get booted from every game they're in.
In the scenario given in the OP, town members can ask the mod for a forced replacement due to breaking site rules (not playing to his win condition), but that decission should ultimately be up to the mod. If the mod decides not to replace, the town simply has to deal with it.There is no 'a' in Michel.- shaft.ed

I agree with Crypto's sentiments.
That game was lulzy and enjoyable, but we didnt have two mislynches to use on our VIs. I don't wanna whine and say the game was unwinnable, but there was good evidence supporting one VI as scum A and our other...er...less desirable player as scum B. I just don't think it was necessarily winnable for town, but nevertheless I felt the scum EARNED their win/draw. I'm just not for sure if we really EARNED our loss.
Sniper never did jack squat, ever. Deathnote self voted in what was lylo and literally held Scum A in his right hand and scum B in his left hand and led them to victory. I was facepalmingheadkeyboardnerdraging all over the place...then I'm like, oh, game right. - Slaxx
