Kingmaker II-Game Over

[Mastermind of Sin]

So really, Dead Rikimaru goes through the trouble of making and posting all those comments and you guys (not all of you, but there's a lot) can't be bothered to look or comment on what he's said?

Seriously, if you're going to comment on his inactivity or lack of hammer, then at least do something with what he's given you. Dead Rikimaru may be lagging, but he's hardly unpassionate.

It'll help him make his decision quicker if you can process and discuss in the same manner as how he would like to proceed.

a) I already did a summary of everyone's play (except a few of the more prolific posters) that is more up-to-date than DR's, so his is useless to me
b) He's merely presenting facts and didn't stop to analyze anything, so there's nothing to comment on. If he's factually wrong about something, point it out, but you can't really argue against or comment on a summary that doesn't give any opinions.
c) He's probably scum, so I can avoid any possibly bias of his influencing me by not reading his post carefully. I don't lose anything by not reading it because of a).

Well really, I can't imagine many reasons why the kingmaker chose Dead Rikimaru...

But I'm sure if the kingmaker wanted a specific result, I'm sure I know why.

Note: if we don't want to give away the identity of the kingmaker, people shouldn't say things like this.

I'll be away from now till Monday, CHinese New Year.

Hey everybody I just wanted to let you know that I will have very little time this weekend because I will be attending a D&D convention. So I hope to be on about once a day if I can manage it....

[Toaster Strudel]

Will something ever happen today????

[Toaster Strudel]

I hope the next king is Fritzler, he'll take a decision!

[Yosarian2]

Yeah; we really need to at least get that list of execution before this game dies completly.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Vote: Rikku

[Mastermind of Sin]

Damn scum...

[Yosarian2]

Mod: Can we have a coup or something? Because if something dosn't happen soon, this game is going to die.

[Glork]

> Each day must end in an execution. "No Lynch" is not an option in this game. If I post a deadline and the King fails to make an execution in the allotted time, the King will be executed for his incompetence.

Let's start by getting a deadline, eh?

[Toaster Strudel]

Count me in for the revolution.

[DragonsofSummer]

I'm all for a revolting against King Rikki right now as well. I also feel that he is scum because he kept coming on just to give little hints that he might be doing something and then never did.

Vote:DeadRikkimaru

[petroleumjelly]

Yeah, today feels like it is going to be wasted - I would be surprised if we end up with a dead scum today. The worst kind of Carnie is the one who talks big, but has nothing behind the curtain. Though the compilation effort was impressive, the lack of insight

on

that compilation (while asking the town to comment) is disturbing.

Vote: DR

, though I will be keeping all of my previous votes. As much as I normally don't care for them, I would not be opposed to a deadline at this point.

[mnowax]

Vote: dead rikku

kill anyone!

[Lowell]

Oooo yeah, let's all vote him.

That matters.

[DragonsofSummer]

You know you're sarcasm is unnecessary right now Lowell... we are just disgrunted that our king seems to have left the game completely

[Mastermind of Sin]

Not to mention being scum.

[Mastermind of Sin]

*sigh* can we lynch DR already?

[pablito]

PJ, what was the point of mentioning that you'll be keeping all previous votes? I didn't see the need to say it but you chose to do it anyway?

[petroleumjelly]

Because I was the person advocating trying to generally keep 4 or fewer votes at all times. DR is my fifth vote, but I don't really want to unvote any of my other four.

[Mastermind of Sin]

I didn't see a problem with it.

[pablito]

PJ, you really want to adhere to the four votes or fewer at the time so badly that you'd mention it when you voted for a king? I find it unnecessary, but if you find it that important to do so, then you have every right.

I find that scum tend to overjustify votes and add unnecessary language to make themselves look better when they vote. PJ used language that I thought might fall into that category. And his explanation of why he used such language doesn't put me at ease. Considering how long it's been that he's made a vote, I'm a bit surprised that he remembered such. Thus, I felt the need to question the language.

[petroleumjelly]

This probably isn't worth responding to, but I'm procrastinating on studying,

and

(as sad as this is) this is probably the most interesting thing in the game that has happened in a while, so:

I keep voting records at almost all times (I try to update them at least once a week). I know exactly who I am voting for (I tend to remember who I think is scummy in any given game and hence where my votes are), and I furthermore have a tendency to remember stances I've taken in games (such as my general rule of "people should keep votes below 5 so that their votes can be taken reasonably seriously"), and this is because I've put thought into those stances and agree with them.

I further tend not to like smarmy comments being directed at me, and while I was making me DR vote-post, I had a mental image of somebody going:

HAY! Weren't you the guy saying we should vote for LESS than 5 people? Way to contradict yourself.

Vote: PJ

.

And to save myself the exasperation of having to explain why I was making an exception in this case, I figured I would counteract it by explaining that I was

aware

that DR was my fifth vote and that I was not going to retract any of my other four votes.

And yes, I do see the irony of me going out of my way to explain this.

This week will be very busy at work. Might be that I can't check the thread until Sunday (if there's anything to check).
