Mini 507: Big Brother Mafia - Game Over

[ryan]

pmg: No reason to get hostile now my friend. As has already been proven our two nominations have done little if anything to defend themselves, that to me is a little strange. If they aren't active they need replaced BUT if you're town, wouldn't you be jumping up and down screaming your innocence?

[Untrod Tripod]

Yeah, uh, pickem, do you recall earlier when I said that people don't usually do scummy things on day one? That post you just made is an example of when someone does. If this were ordinary mafia, I would be voting for you right now.

[Vel-Rahn Koon]

Really? I usually don't consider Scum to be stupid, and doing something like what pick just did seems like he'd be painting a target on his forehead if he were scum.

I agree with everyone else pick - stow the hostility, we don't need the over-reactions. You can prove a point in a less abrasive manner. Although I understand your point of view, I don't condone your behavior.

[ryan]

Woo!

I'll catch up soon at what has happened.

So why should you not be voted?

[pablito]

three players have been prodded for not posting in the last 48 hrs.

See first post for a note about the frequency of prods.

[mneme]

Hmm. So far, we have:

Trabony: "I'm not going to defend myself" (more or less)
Flare: Woo! {...}.

Can't we just vote to lynch them both?

More seriously, neither is giving us much to work with, either in terms of evaluating them as scum/not scum nor even any idea of whether they'll be useful members of the town (ok, we get the impression they won't be).

All things considered, if nothing changes, I'll vote for Flare, for general uselessness, but I'd rather have more to work with.

[DragonsofSummer]

I agree with Vel that what Pickem is doing isn't scummy actually. I think him and I are miscomunicating, and I'd like to figure out what I'm missing that he is saying.

One can only wish...

I'm happier with a Flare lynch as well, since at least we know he's around and not contributing on purpose, vs. the general malaise Trabony is showing. At least Trabony is attempting to scum hunt (ref. post 149), which ought to count for something.

im here, waiting for somethnig from the nominiees, but so far nothing, fun. and i just saw the thing from PMG that was kindof crazy, i havent ever seen him act like that in what i have seen from him in games that i can remember.

i kindof missed trabony declareing nont to defend him self. why is he doing that?
i agree with mneme. it probably would be better to evict them both, but since trabony has said something somewhat useful/ of substance i would vote flare

Before I defend myself I want to know how I'm hurting things, as far as I'm concerned I've only been hurting myself so far in this game.

IOW, AFAICT "I'm not going to defend myself unless someone makes a more substantial attack."

[Pug89]

Like a few others have said, I'm leaning towards a Flare as well.

[pickemgenius]

I'm saying you nominated Flare because of lurking (which you've said) but that you nom'd him basically on the premisis that you thought he would continue lurking. am i right?

IOW?

AFAICT = As Far As I Can Tell (I'm assuming anyway), but IOW is escaping me.

No non-standard acronyms please, makes my head hurt

[Vel-Rahn Koon]

Heh Google rocks.

IOW = In Other Words.

Yes, because I feel that in a game with time limits like this lurking is much more harmful to the town than in normal mafia, and so my nominating was on the assumption that either he was following what was happening, and would immediately start posting, or that he was actually lurking and wouldn't post anything, and both would give us info on him. It is obviously the later, but he posted saying he would say something, and has once again gone back to not saying anything, so I still feel that my nomination is very well justified.

[pickemgenius]

so basically... you umm...ftr... can justify

any

nom like that.

[DragonsofSummer]

I can't justify a nom of someone who isn't lurking like that no.

[ChaosOmega]

I'm here, but neither of the nominees are really posting anything, so it's hard to actually pick one of them.

I am also favoring voting for Flare, because it's possible trabony isn't here. Flare's just being useless intentionally.

[ryan]

If Trabony isn't here he needs replaced than.

[pablito]

If Trabony isn't here he needs replaced than.

I will look for replacements for these nominees if they don't bother defend themselves by posting.

Note new rule: Anyone who does not post for 96 hours consecutively in this thread will now be eligible to be replaced without notice. I will also give last chance prods to those who I think are not participating frequently enough with quality posts. I will continue to prod to let you know if you're not keeping up though.

Julie Chen:

And tonight we will reveal this year's new ingenius unique twist. Unbeknownst to some of the other players, there are several sets of twins in this year's player list. None of the players are aware of how many sets of twins are playing the game either. And the first set of twins to be revealed is trabony and Skruffs.

Skruffs will replace trabony

in the game from here on.

Deadline extended to Thursday 18th of October at 16:00 EDT to give ample time for the replacement to jump in.

Thanks for replacing Skruffs!

[ckillor]

hah, amazing twist julie! and Hi skruffs

[Skruffs]

Hi guys.
Sorry flare, but unlike my predecessor, I intend to talk.
So apparently I am the least-liked player in the game? Hawt zheet.
Hopefully just me being the least liked player (I need to check the rest of the game to see how this happened) means that it's unlikely I'm just being bussed by any potential scumbuddies?

Shame on DOS for choosing the two least liked players as his nomination. We already know that they are unliked - how is nomming them going to generate discussion? This is the equivalent of a bandwagon vote.

I have nothing against flare, but odds are 6:5 that he is scum.

How many votes have been cast, and can they be changed?

[pickemgenius]

I can't justify a nom of someone who isn't lurking like that no.

You could say I thought if I nominated X then X would post more or continue doing the same amount X has already been doing.


Where X =/= lurking(not posting), but whereas X could= posting alot, but nothing particularly relevant (actively lurking), or if X is posting a bunch, you could say, I nominated X because i've found the most scummy things from his posts.

[ryan]

Welcome to the game Skruffs. As for nomination votes, I don't believe anyone has actually cast a vote yet.
