Mini 1120 - X-Files - Game Over

[Sotty7]

Err...

An explanation would be nice.

[DarlaBlueEyes]

alright here I am, still a little sick but okay enough to participate. Reading through now ~

Bandwagoning is the best way

to start a game

The rest of your post was a whole lot of nothingness anyway.

[Amor]

Bandwagoning is the best way to start a game. It evokes reactions from everyone, or at least it should. I also haven't agreed with every wagon seeing as my vote hasn't been on theman. I just feel in the early goings of the game that if you aren't willing to bandwagon someone for pressure then you're doing it wrong. I think we have passed the early stages so things become a little more clear as the day progresses. This tends to mean my vote will settle down depending on what happens. Still I think town should be much more open to moving their vote around if it is needed. It is the one pressure tool we really have to make the scum sweat during the day. But this is probably just how we differ in playing the game.

Do you think my stated thoughts have been going with the flow so far?

Sort of yes and sort of no. Doing a re-read of your posts, the only thing that jumps out as unique is the comments about scumbuddies, which I don't think is that productive before we have a confirmed scum. Still, you get some points for initiative there.

What kind of reactions do you think you got from your votes? If you did them mainly for reactions, did you not really mean the reasons you gave for them?

I'm a lot less sure about theman right now, mostly because I have no prior experience with him. I find that laziness and minimalism are only a scumtell for certain people (me, Parama, vezokpiraka, and others) and it's an MO for others.

In the previous game I had with TMH he was a lot more active, and he was town there.

Speaking of which, there's a whole lot of lurking going around... maybe things will pick up on the weekend?

[Mariyta]

Things usually get worse on the weekend. I think some flogging needs to occur, get people moving.

[Antihero]

Alright, I think it's time to use this.

Tangle: camn and dekes

*waits for jason*

*extremely curious*

[DarlaBlueEyes]

Alright someone please explain to me the scientific nature of the whammy because I soooooooo don't get it. In a more game related question, anti, what the hell is a tangle.

[Jack]

That's your read through

[DarlaBlueEyes]

My read through was null seeing as how so far there has been very little said that's not pointless or the tail end of RVS so. I am here to make things happen, ladyface tudor.

[Jack]

Vote Sotty then.

[camn]

I don't know what that is, but I don't like the sound of it.

[Antihero]

I don't know what that is, but I don't like the sound of it.

Don't worry, it's not killing, it's investigative.

You worried about what I'll find?

[DarlaBlueEyes]

if I voted sotty I'd have to trust you, and I am afraid I can't do that, Jack. Trustno1. Come now, I shouldn't be having to explain this...

[Jack]

You don't, just explain how you can both be here "to make things happen" and yet not be doing anything, even voting.

[DarlaBlueEyes]

Because I am here to wait on something worth a vote to happen too. I happen to be a conservative voter unless I have a good reason to vote. Ask anyone who plays with me in non-newbies. It's annoying

[camn]

I don't know what that is, but I don't like the sound of it.

Im just a little nervous to be paired up with someone.

[Antihero]

What do you think of Dekes?

[camn]

I think if either you or he is scum, so is the other one.

[Antihero]

Awesome deflection

[camn]

from what, exactly? (insert Mariyta-type rant about meaningless 'buzzwords here)

You deny that you two are cross-bussing, then?

[Antihero]

You didn't say if you thought dekes was scum or not, you just tried to jump to a buddy link.

Same thing goes for you dekes, you haven't mentioned camn up to now. What do you think? I'd like this before jason gets back with me, if possible.

[camn]

Is that the only thing you ever 'think' about a player? scum or not-scum?

TBH, I rarely get that far day 1. And THIS week? Not even close.
But this exchange has been interesting. We both have given each other unsatisfactory answers.

[Antihero]

Yep, welcome to my black-and-white world.

TBH, I rarely get that far day 1. And THIS week? Not even close.

I thought the "scum or not scum" thing came before the "scumbuddy" thing.

[Bella]

Based on how she's reacted here and how she's been talking in Scumchat, I'm fairly confident that Amrun's reactions to this thread are more down to newb-to-MS culture shock on her part than pure scumminess. It doesn't mean she's not scum, but her actions so far aren't down to scumminess.

CML's reaction to it is curious though. Repeating the experience question and then trying to make a deal out of two differing (but factually accurate) answers just doesn't make sense to me, especially when there's an obvious explanation for it.

I'm not a fan of this post. It piles onto the CML case without actually voting or really saying...anything about CML's alignment directly. Same thing with Amrun.

It's not necessarily scummy, and it warranted analysis of his response before it went anywhere. His response is lacking - the post I commented on was his last in the thread. It's particularly concerning that he's failed to respond to the fact that a wagon grew on him in the meantime.

Alright, I think it's time to use this.

Interesting.

In the meantime... VOTE: CallMeLiam
