VOTE: Michael_Wolf

This is page 2. No more time for funny business.

I think Michael_Wolf is scum. He used the word "turf". Only hoodlums use that word.

UNVOTE: Cheery Dog

Ok we accomplished our goal of RVS to start a wagon.

L-1 and not calling it is uncool, we could have an accidental lynch and that's not very town.

Although I'm one who is usually ok with taking someone to L-2 or even L-1 early on to see how they react, I gotta agree with Michael_Wolf here. Not so sure I believe the excuse for it either. You obviously went through and read the very short thread since you quoted Cheery Dog from last page. Yet you didn't realize your vote made it L-1?

I didn't, no. I was more concentrated on what people wrote, and the two first votes must have slipped my mind.

If your mafia taking someone to L-1 early isn't the best idea, but it's not a horrible idea either. Maybe someone derphammers and you get a quick jump on the townies. You got called out for it and if your mafia you have no choice to but to lie. Now, I don't necessary think your mafia at this point. It would be a pretty bold move to do that. But it was worth questioning.

I don't see anything wrong with L - 1 so soon as long as no one hammers (which shouldn't happen if people read the thread), so imo that seems like he's just trying to blend in and seem town

Issue being I didn't state that I put Cheery on L-1, which I should've, so he was right to point that out.

@pieguyn Sure I could've left my vote after calling out L-1 but newbie games can be so unpredictible and after seeing an SE put down a vote without knowing it seems logical that it could happen again.

At this point, it's still super early in the game. I don't want what happened when Dyslexicon came in and didn't realize the vote count. Once the flow of the game gets going, which it seems to be getting there, theres less of a chance someone derphammers. But this early, the game is just getting rolling and we are still in RVS, for the most part. So someone could easily RVS a vote on someone who is L-1 without realizing it.

At this point, no. What you did could be seen as super scummy, especially as an SE. You should have enough experience to at least check the vote count before you vote. So my initial reaction was to call it out and question it. But after reviewing what happened, I have to believe you truly didn't know the vote count. Would be a pretty bold move for mafia to try and get a lynch so soon.

Any reason for your vote change? I'd like to see what happens if we get 2 tied up at L-2. Maybe we can get someone to start squirming.

Facetiousness has many values to it, and when combined with rvs, I felt that there was scum motivation in why those posts happened in that manner. This is what would be known as a gut read at this stage.
In post 29, Michael_Wolf wrote: Ok we accomplished our goal of RVS to start a wagon.
The goal of RVS is actually to get dicussion happening (or as some people probably like to put it, to get out of RVS), wagons need not be invovled, and sometimes actually can hamper efforts.
In post 31, BigTerp wrote:Although I'm one who is usually ok with taking someone to L-2 or even L-1 early on to see how they react.
Would this have to do with the fact I simply ignore votes on me that appear to be random? Even if I was still there, I'd probably just be scorning at having people at L-1 early in the day is bad for business.

Everything is serious, we're up against the mafia in a life or death situation. Getting too much joking happening, just lets scum control the town.

You're asking about vote changes and then just practically random voting elsewhere and changing the vote yourself. Which as a whole is a bit contradictory in that you want reasons, and then settling yourself for having completing wagons. (which more useful than no wagons, mostly just focuses players in certain directions)

Overall, I call an opportistic stance, and my own vote to move.

Cheery - How are you able to neatly organize individual quotes from other peoples post like you did above? I'm aware of the multi quote button, but If I want to quote only the parts of your post that pertain to me it ends up quoting the entire post. Typically I just copy and paste what I want to quote, but it leaves out who the post is from.

Fair enough.

No. What I mean is that I like to see how people react to being at L-2 or L-1. If we catch mafia in that spot there should be a good bit of squirming from either the player with the votes, or alot of movement from their mobster teammate to try and move votes. If we get someone who is town at L-2 or L-1 mafia may try and slide in to quick hammer or try and get someone else to. Either way it's a good way to gain information, IMO.

Quite the contrary. I gave a reason for my vote change. Without looking, I honestly don't remember where my vote was, it was RVS. But it was doing no good there. I moved it to where I felt we could start getting some discussion and hopefully some mafia reads.

DOES NOT COMPUTE!

First you say you thought those RVS's were fishy because they exclaim pointless stuff
as if it made actual sense
. The bolded part means that you thought those posts were fishy,b ecause they were invoking silly reasons as serious ones. So the seriousness that you saw was the problem.

But now that everyone has made clear that your comedy-radar needs fixing, you proclaim it's not the seriousness that is scummy, but the facetiousness (whoever came up with that word should be able to spell "merely" by the way, cfr. BigTerp) and the joking, that are suddenly tactical instruments for scum to gain control.

In other words, he doesn't care about the stick he's using, he already picked out the dogs he's going to try and beat down.

I would vote, but yes, L-1, and at this point things could get too confusing, but: :igmeou: CheeryDog.

What I do, as a player, is to open each quote in a new window, edit down to what I wanted to quote, then type my reply; then copy and paste all those into one post. A bit labor intensive, but it looks nicer.

I have never figured out how to make the multi-quote thing work properly. At all. :evil:
