Mini 365- Thinking Mafia - Game Over!

[Arafax]

lurkerhunting is not only rude, it doesnt get us any closer to finding scum.

You know what's rude?..Signing up for a game and then not participating....And lurking is a scum tell.

Rosso, you go ahead and let those who are not participating keep playing...I'll lynch them and let those who actually want to play get to play.

vote arafax

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Lurkerhunting is very much pro-town. They are just as likely, if not more likely, to be anti-town, a pro-town lurker is generally speaking useless and an anti-town lurker is hard to read as scum.

[Pink Princess]

While I'm not in the lynch-all-lurkers school of thought, I definately think that pressuring a lurker to participate in the game is a pro-town move.

Reasons for your vote on Arafax, omg?

[Arafax]

1. He used the word "villagers" in his post...I'm not sure why he is using that phrase but the only other person to refer to "villagers" in the game is omg_im_innocent_wtf (post #51). Scum partners?....I'm already suspicious of omg, so it's scummy.

OMG, I am suprised that you had nothing to say about this when you posted; you simply just voted me without saying another word...Care to explain why?

[Rosso Carne]

arafax and cem: lurkerhunting is pro-town, lurker-lynching is not.

if you have a problem, ask them to be replaced.

[Elias_the_thief]

yeah, im also wondoring whats with the arafax vote. no explanation?

[Elias_the_thief]

and when i say the arafax vote, i mean omg's vote against arafax of course.

[Arafax]

arafax and cem: lurkerhunting is pro-town, lurker-lynching is not.

Just so you know, I won't lynch a lurker when there are other people being scummy and I won't lynch anyone without allowing them the chance to claim.

Also, I'm not voting Lowell based on just his lurking.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Psst, Arafax, hypocrisy is not a scumtell.

[omg_im_innocent_wtf]

post 125 sounds fake.

[Twomz]

unvote, vote CES

erm... yes it is? wtf?

[omg_im_innocent_wtf]

i have to say, this game is very much running in backwardsworld to what im used to.

given the amount of time, wouldnt a mafia be more likely to really think through their posts, making sure all angles were covered, then give lengthy explanations that make sense for what they do?

whereas a villager would just post what they thought, based on feel or anything else without caring much what anyone else thought?

for example, my above vote is made based primarily on feel. i 'feel' that arafax is overreacting. he is becoming zealous about something that i 'feel' he doesnt really care about at all because to be honest its kinda silly. to me this is how a mafioso is likely to be acting.

from now on if i will try to give a brief summary for anyone i vote for, but know that many votes will be based on feel and not elaborate logic, because lack of logic is not a 'scum tell' imo

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

No, Twomz, it is not. Generally speaking, you know yourself to be town(or at least you pretend to). As such, your own behaviour is fairly irrelevant.

Example: A places a third vote on one bandwagon. B places one on the next.
A cites the "third vote on a wagon"- scum tell, because he believes B is more likely to be scum because of it. Of course townies can place third votes. But A believes scum are more likely to do it. There's nothing wrong with A's vote.

Now, applying a double standard

is

scummy, but that's not what hypocrisy is, not by a long shot.

[Pink Princess]

CES - so what specifically are you calling hypocrisy in this game, and therefore not scummy?

[Twomz]

If someone starts the day saying they don't think so and so is scummy, then later in the day for no reason at all they start pushing for their lynch, it's typically concidered a scum tell (that's my closest example to hypocricy in mafia games).

[Lowell]

FOS: Twomz

for making a fool out of me in culutural revolution mafia. I shall never NOT suspect you again.

Actually, townies should stay away from feelings and act upon the facts available. Scum have to make up excuses to lynch someone, so the more you talk about feelings (which have no proofs associated with them)the scummier you look. Base your arguments on logic, and as long as it's sound you'll help the town.

[Arafax]

post 125 sounds fake.

Can you explain this?

for example, my above vote is made based primarily on feel. i 'feel' that arafax is overreacting. he is becoming zealous about something that i 'feel' he doesnt really care about at all because to be honest its kinda silly. to me this is how a mafioso is likely to be acting.

Can you explain to what I'm being zealous about, but you think I don't care about?

Something else omg; (and I'm not trying to be rude or picky) could you try to explain some of the reasoning of your thoughts when you post...It would make the game easier to read IMO.

[Arafax]

Ummm, hey Lowel...Can you explain why you didn't post anything of content when you last posted?...I mean I'm accusing you of being scum and you post a zero conent post?

Did I already

Confirm Vote Lowell

?...Well, I'm very happy with my vote.

[Twomz]

Lowell, it was obvious i was the last scum. Both you and Vismajor were cleared BECAUSE YOU WERE MASONS... that was just a bad play on your part. (I thought i was screwed beyond belief... thx again ).

Omg... it's lightning outside, and ALL the cars in the parking lot's car alarms keep going off... it's annoying as heck...

Erm... also, i don't have anything else to add right now... i guess i'm waiting on CES to respond.

[Pink Princess]

My closest example to hypocrisy in a scum game is someone lurking to the max and then voting someone else for lurking.

I assume that's what CES was talking about as hypocrisy and not scummy in this game, and I'm really interested in hearing his thoughts on that.

Annoyance

Vote Lowell

for complete lack of contribution.
