vote: Prosaurus

For (a)Having a card as an avatar, and (b)Doing a little thing I like to call "Trying to start the damn day already".

Vote: Cjdrum

no apparent reason. You may call me McG, that's my nickname.

unvote

Vote: McG

for a vote with

absolutely

no reason. Also for advertsing name shortenings in vote posts.

1. How much experience playing mafia do you have?
2. Why do you enjoy playing mafia?

1. I played quite a few games IRL, moved to the xkcd forums' Mafia (played quite a bit there), and this is now my second/third game here at mafiascum.
2. I enjoy playing Mafia because... I don't actually know. When I'm Town, I can do analysis on people and stuff. If I'm scum, I can pretend to do analyses

Questions for people:

@All - Can you give us all a fresh new reason for your vote?

@[L] - How often do you get lynched D1 as scum?
@Prosaurus - If you're so pro, why vote for somebody with over 9000?
@Wingdamage9001 - What's your favourite ProTown role?
@crazypianist1116 - What is your favourite thing to claim while under pressure as scum?
@McGriddle - What would you prefer to be: ProTown or Anti?
@zMuffinMan - If you ran a UPick and somebody submitted "The Muffin Man", would they be ProTown or Anti?
@Romanus - All

roads

lead to Romanus. Is this why you voted for the man who famously lives on a Lane?
@Misder - If you were scum, who would you like your scumbuddies to be (from this playerlist)?

[cjdrum]

"Fresh new reason" was meant to be another random reason for that person. Should've made that clearer, huh.

And, re Fluffy: I... Um... Well, this is my first EVAR rqs, and I was just thinking of things on the spot. I couldn't think of better questions at the time, and I felt I needed to question everyone, because a scum slip could even come through from a ridiculous answer, right?
Like, when somebody says "Well, every other time I've been scum..." is pretty scummy.

And about the question ranked "Fluff around the edges" - well, if we end up killing Misder (and they are scum), we can mostly clear [L] now - or, at least, be a bit less suspicious. Or more, if Misder is the winey kind of person.

[cjdrum]

Or, at least, be a bit less suspicious.

[cjdrum]

Wait, I thought we were pressuring Misder?
Um, so, do I vote now, or let somebody else do that :/

I'll go with it.

Unvote: McGriddle
Vote: Misder

And don't hammer 'til we get some stuff from him!

[cjdrum]

Because...?

[cjdrum]

I must say that was kind of weird-looking. I mean, you convince me to vote Misder, then... Jump off so you're not blamed?

I don't like that. I don't have much experience with that sort of thing, but it seems... off.

Unvote
Vote: Romanus

[cjdrum]

EBWOP: That was directed at Romanus, not to Prosaurus

[cjdrum]

Can you explain why that post is incriminating, please?

[cjdrum]

Lost. Why is the IC being difficult? Is difficulty all of a sudden a good playstyle? :/

Lost.

[cjdrum]

Most Suspicious: Romanus. For the difficulty in general, but mostly the "Yes, I can. No, I won't." (post 104)

That... I don't even know.

[cjdrum]

Opinion - I don't like shit stirrers. Maybe if there was some real reasoning behind the stirring of shit, I'd be happy.

But... I don't wanna be lynched. That's my honest opinion.

Not because I have some power role, but because I want to learn past my first Day. Thanks all.


Oh, have I been asked any questions that I've missed? I'm pretty sure you all haven't, but I'm open to questions asked of me, if you point them out, please thankyou.

[cjdrum]

Well, nobody wants to get lynched. It's like saying "Oh, that person voted for someone. Scum vote for people."
Or even "That person was talking. Scum talk. That person must be scum."

I've been trying to keep up with the IC, and his reasons seemed good. And then he's been all... Mm.
So I've been lost - I've already been programmed to trust ICs, and everything threw me off and I've gone haywire. It's kind of hard to keep up with... What Romanus is being.

[cjdrum]

cjdrum, I am very much prepared to hammer you. But first, can you post a few things.
1) Why you think you shouldn't be hammered.

I should be hammered. I've looked through, I've been scum-looking all game. I don't

want

to be hammered (for your sake and mine), but it'd probably be stupid for Town to ignore what's happened.

2) Your role. I know you said you didn't have a PR, I just want confirmation.

Townie. No special powers, no protect or investigate or gun. I can vote and post. Win by lynching Mafia.

3) Your experience. Links to games.

Newbie 1063 (complete), Open 295 (D1).

Italics is mine.

Re IC Trust: Yes, the IC in Newb 1063

was

scum. However, I find it fairly unlikely that my first two games will have IC scum... But I will be more careful. When I said "Programmed in" or whatever I said, I was slightly exaggerating - it's more that I want to look at what the IC's doing to see what's likely to be good.

[cjdrum]

I've been vote flipping, bandwagonning and just not thinking in general. I haven't been pushing a quick lynch on purpose, but that's what's come across.

I was following the IC because they're meant to be kind of helpful with what is good Town behavior - even if they're scum, they've probably played as scum enough to know what good Town behavior is. So with Romanus flipping and stuff, I mindlessly followed...

So why I was scummy - mindlessly following vote flipping and bandwagonning on that.
Why I did it - Didn't think. Romanus was talking about putting pressure on Misder, so I was helping with pressure. He changed (for "pressure" again), and I thought I was helping with pressure again.

And, can you explain that last comment? Are you saying that I can't trust probability, or that two ICs in a row is unlikely?

[cjdrum]

Yeah. Just, when I'm not thinking right (which seems to happen often), I get confused ideas - and so that was one of them. It's just my stupid brain, and now I'm thinking more about thinking more.

My vote stays on Romanus, for now.


Ninja'd by Misder: Why will crazy be scum?
Also, off of this:

Romanus is at L-2, I'm at L-1, and [L] has just raised a Prosaurus issue. Please don't be voting before discussion happens.

[cjdrum]

When I was posting, I didn't know that Pro had.

[cjdrum]

Re "Jump Ship": 'Cause it was scummy to follow him (based off people's reactions). I changed because I'm learning, and that was the application of my learning.

Also, I'm honestly Town.

[cjdrum]

9. A lynch will occur when a player achieves over 50% of the votes. When this has happened,

any subsequent votes and unvotes will not be counted

, and the game has entered twilight. Night will begin as soon as I have declared the lynch.

[cjdrum]

Romanus and Prosaurus and zMuffinMan and [L] and crazy and McG and WingDamage and Misder
are all scum.

Actually, I don't know anything. If you ask about something specific, I might be able to help with that, but...

[cjdrum]

D:

I do like how the second rule on the "Being a Good IC" wiki page is "Never flake/be replaced" - and we had three people in the IC slot through the course of the game...
