Magna 1

Animorph day one lynch sounds like a fine idea. That is actually entirely what I was trying to get at with the questionnaire, actually - question two was supposed to determine whether you got what you wanted, and then research would reveal what you were likely to request. Magna beat me to the concluding punch, but I 100% agree with his results.
Question 1 is obviously silly, but if you didn't answer questions 3 and 4, stop pretending you are important and have a life and answer. If you were actually as busy as you are pretending to be, you wouldn't have time for forum mafia. Information can be deduced from them, you know.
To answer my own questions
1) No response.
2) Yes.
3) I would give him the $200. A life is worth more than that (even a petty theif's), and I don't think I could live with the image of him screaming as he burst into flame for the rest of my life.
4) Depends on the situation. If I were playing the game as a mental exercise and/or for fun, I wouldn't cheat as that defeats the purpose. However, if I were playing the game to prove myself as superior to the other players, then I would do whatever needed to win.
Also, Seraphim's post restriction is annoying as fuck.-

YOU think it's [REDACTED]? You don't have to write the [REDACTED] posts. I'm just saving up so my [REDACTED] are readable [REDACTED], when it's important. As soon as the [REDACTED] starts, I say we [REDACTED] ani...it's a good idea given the logic behind it. Even so, we should let [REDACTED] speak for himself first.-

@Almaster:
If you want me to answer the questions, then relate the questions to the game. I don't normally answer questions anyways because IMO, they do nothing for scum-hunting that the RVS doesn't do. It's just a cop-out for people who hate the RVS, IMO.
@Policy Lynch:
The reason I took out what I like to get that is to avoid myself WIFOMing and saying "Yes, I like mafia and 3rd party, but I sent in Town." And, FTR, everyone else should to, even if they put town as what they wanted, to avoid WIFOM. The main reasons I like town less than mafia/3rd party is that I like having a kill. Which is also why I like Vig, PGO, CPR Doctor etc... All of them effectivley are a vigilante."Animorpherv1's posts are so powerful that prolonged exposure may cause vertigo, nausea, acute tinnitus, and in rare cases, death." - vonflare

EBWOPX2: I found this, which I mostly agree with:
Seraphim wrote:I find the RQS to be banal and just as pointless, if not more so, than the RVS stage. I'm not saying that questioning is bad during the beginning of the game but throwing down a survey and expecting everyone to answer pointless questions is just as bad as randomly voting people for jokey reasons. I also dislike the entire idea of there being "stages" in the first place...the entire idea of "Random Question Stage" seems to imply that EVERYONE should be asking random questions which makes the "RQS" even more unfun. It has just as much potential for discussion as it does dragging down the game. So "RVS" all the way."Animorpherv1's posts are so powerful that prolonged exposure may cause vertigo, nausea, acute tinnitus, and in rare cases, death." - vonflare

The first question is obviously silly, but the other three are not dumb random questions like, "what's your favorite color." The second one is designed to try and find out whether everyone got the side they wanted, which is pretty relevant in a game where you supposedly CHOOSE YOUR SIDE. The third and fourth questions reveal how far you are willing to go to get ahead. which is also pretty relevant in a game where some people are TRYING TO GET AHEAD BY LYING. The answers also help gauge people's personalities in general, which is always nice information to have, even if you can't use it in game.animorph wrote:If you want me to answer the questions, then relate the questions to the game.

And even if the questions ARE useless, you are wasting more time arguing about whether you should answer them or not than it would take to just answer. What's the point of being difficult on purpose?-

Vote: animorpherv1
Admitting to liking being Mafia/3rd party more then town usually isn't evidence pointing that a person is scum but in this case it is. As this is a game where you could choose your side, you would want to pick your favorite alignment and I don't see animorpherv1 picking town.
His meta indicates that he tends to flake out of games he's uninterested in and games he does play to full extend he usually plays poorly in, which already makes him a decent policy lynch candidate as town do not want useless players in their games.
His outright refusal to answer the question is scummy as well, as AlmasterGM has proven that #2, #3, and #4 are related to the game in some way and I'm convinced. While MagnaofIllusion hasn't answered the questions yet either, he at least gave a decent reason for not originally doing so (Which is not moot since AlmasterGM answered the question himself, now he must as well). I don't see a town reason for animorpherv1 to be avoiding those questions at all.-
