Peers has no sense of humor.

UltimaAvalon · Post Post #77 (ISO) » Mon Oct 01, 2007 12:35 pm

Peers and Unright are also obv scum who can't wait to get to night so they can morph and open a can of Japanese Whoop-ass on us poor Townies.

FoS: Both of 'em

I agree with Peers. Not funny and a waste of time = not good. I don't see what Avalon's crappy attempt as joking has to do with the rest of you piling on pointlessly? I also don't understand why Avalon would have such a ridiculously annoying method of joking, but I'm of the belief that playing along with juvenile behavior only further encourages and enables it, so I'd like the extend the humorless schoolmarm headshaking to everyone who plays along with this kind of nonsese.

If it is pointless and a waste of time, does that make talking about how it is a a waste of time MORE of a waste of time? (psst, the answer is yes!)

If it was pointless we wouldn't be talking about it for two pages, no?

Oh, I don't mind pointlessness and wasting of time. It's just that UltimaAvalon is less funny than Carlos Mencia.

Flameaxe · Post Post #82 (ISO) » Mon Oct 01, 2007 5:36 pm

I second the Carlos Mencia not being funny part. As for UA, it's just a tradition for him. If he tries to push the wagon the whole game, THEN I would have an issue.

All right. Hackles down then.

I love the fact the first person to back me up about this is named Mirth.

Mirth · Post Post #85 (ISO) » Tue Oct 02, 2007 5:03 am

Since this is getting nowhere (and none of you are funny. Get over it) I will purpose the fowwing. Since Avalon's bandwagon hd 5 people on it (including himself) it would be satistically sound to assume that at least one of them is scum. In a game likje this, I will also assume that we have probably three or four mafia players (could be 2, could be 5 cause of the five rangers, but one mislynch and one nightkill would put town in LYLO with that, so I'm going to assume that 5 is less likely than 3 or 4 for that reason, though it is still possible due to the number of rangers). Possibly some other killing role, don't know yet since we started on day.

So, in no particular order, Blight, Avalon, Flame, CES, Unright, what do you all think about my above comment.

killerbob · Post Post #86 (ISO) » Tue Oct 02, 2007 5:34 am

I'm back...sorry for the inactivity. I had a major weekend at school. I'm glad to see that we started being serious. Maybe we will start to see who the scum really is now. I don't really have an opinion ATM but I will re-read and get back soon.

You're assuming and speculating too much.

Mirth · Post Post #88 (ISO) » Tue Oct 02, 2007 6:09 am

I *am* assuming and speculating too much, but at least I'm trying for an actual conversation that extends past "ohh, lets vote someone pointlessly and see if we can lynch him." Though my assumption that at least one person on that bandwagon (barring the possibility of there only being two scum) is most likely correct due to probability.

Peers · Post Post #89 (ISO) » Tue Oct 02, 2007 6:41 am

I dunno... a five-person bandwagon (4 not counting the self-voter) in a 12-person game... it's perfectly reasonable for the scum to not be on that bandwagon. The problem is, you get into a WIFOM arguement over if they would or wouldn't avoid it.

The sad thing is, we have very little to go on, and what we do have is based on randomness and bad humor. We either lynch someone totally at random, or don't lynch anyone at all. If we lynch at random, at least there's a chance of hitting a scum... and UA may just be trying to protect himself with that "Oh, I always do this" 'joke'...

Vote: UltimaAvalon

UltimaAvalon · Post Post #90 (ISO) » Tue Oct 02, 2007 6:57 am

Hi guys. Peers is a hypocrite. He is also scum.

Yes, there's a chance of hitting scum with a random lynch. Why that means its better than a logical lynch is beyond me.

I never said my bandwagon was a joke. You guys did.

I'm not protecting myself with anything, even words. I didn't say "I always do this." Flameaxe did

Vote: Peers

If a logical lynch were possible, I'd be all for it. But it's not, given that we don't have any information to go on that doesn't stem from someone's attempts to get laughs out of the first day.

So you were seriously trying to bandwagon yourself? What is it about yourself that you find scummy? Your PM?

Cogito Ergo Scum · Post Post #93 (ISO) » Tue Oct 02, 2007 8:44 am

Mirth: How do you plan on being helpful by saying things and then admit they're pointless.

I liked Avalon's wagon way better than this.

Avalon and Unright are very townish.

I'm not trying to discourage your scum-seeking ways, but what are the odds of a group of people behaving in a satistically sound way?

Statisticly speaking, the odds are even.

If you are thinking about focusing pressure on just those 5: I say, screw dat, scum.

It looks to me like all discussion/voting going on here is based on "DURR YOUR POST IS POINTLESS! NO YOURS IS SHUT UP" which is no good. There definitely are no grounds for a serious vote on anyone right now, unless you are satisfied with a random lynch for day one. So try not to let you being mad at someone else dictate your votes. I can't believe I just said that.

jmar · Post Post #98 (ISO) » Tue Oct 02, 2007 3:12 pm

We're four pages in and we've gotten nowhere. I for one am not happy with a random lynch- in my opinion it shouldn't even be up for discussion.

First of all, you neglected to actually answer my question. Second, it is a place to start. I am of the opinion that WIFOM is a useful tool for extracting information. It's crappy logic, yes, but it gets people talking, which, for some reason, you lot don't seem too keen on.

I don't see why we can't come to a partially informed decision, Peers, as opposed to voting either randomly or not voting at all. Do you see a rush to get to a lynch? I certainly don't. We more or less have until the mod decides that we should move (so at least a month) to talk and argue and try to do something that isn't random or just piling on to a convienent bandwagon. Speaking of, why exactly did you vote for Avalon? Self-voting, if anything, is a null-tell. (By the way, this means 6 people, including Avalon, were at some point on the wagon already.)

CES: why do you think Avalon and Unright are townish? And if you do why is your vote still on Avalon?
