Mini 573 - Darkstalkers Mafia - Game over!

[armlx]

Apparently, I missed Ranger and Piper's posts, despite the fact Piper voted. Everyone has posted.

My bad.

[Drunken Piper]

The game is on, however I am dark stalker naïve.
But love Dead’s games, and this will be great I believe.

Before you ask, I don’t have a Post Restriction.
Like a foot fetishist, to Big Feet, I have a rhyming addiction.

I find Ranger’s first post quite strange,
A quick meta shows he has never given that speech before, why the change?

Vote Ranger

Matter of fact, it seems he does partake in the random vote stage,
which make me wonder why he isn’t here on this first page?

Again I put forth my question,
Ranger, why the “I will not random vote” confession.

Anyone who is Hands On and metas you they will see.
You in other games placing some random votes with glee.

Explain why you should be playing different here.
While I sit and guzzle my beer.

Thoughts please,
since many of you are just shooting the breeze.

god. the rhyming is going to kill me

[Alabaska J]

If I'm reading him correctly, he wasn't random voting because he's against

them

, he was doing it out of protest of there being no night zero.

[GhostWriter]

No, I read that, particularly the second paragraph, seemed to be against the random voting which day starts generate.

[gorckat]

I'm curious why armlx didn't find Al mildly suspicious for saying he believes townies should first and foremost not be suspect (something armlx disagrees with) but finds me mildly suspect for agreeing with his stance against random voting.

[Drunken Piper]

But look at his other game(s).
and you will find he does not play the same.

[GhostWriter]

I"m not saying that he does. I've already checked.

[Drunken Piper]

What has attracted my Eye,
is why he decided this game to make such a statment, why oh why.

[GhostWriter]

Which would be the driving reason to his post being looked at.

[Alabaska J]

I will not place a random vote.

I think the entire system of beginning games with a day is flawed, and has a negative influence on the game of mafia.

Starting games with a day forces players to babble about nothing for pages on end until someone does something irritating enough to get lynched over. This usually has nothing whatsoever to do with them being mafia. Most day one lynches that do end up getting scum are pure luck.

Here's his second paragraph. He is mad about beginning with a day. He doesn't ever say anything against random voting. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Not trying to be a Butt, you see
but can you please explain to me.

why you didnt quote the whole post?
especially where he gives random posting the roast.

Why must games always start with day? It seems so counter-intuitive. How are we supposed to figure out who will kill someone in the future when they haven't even killed someone yet. Besides that, the very notion of justice seems to suggest that we should not punish someone for crimes they only intend to commit. They actually have to at least attempt to commit the crime before we can punish them for it.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much we can do about this.

I'll try and keep up with the vast amounts of drivel

that are sure to be generated today,

but don't expect me to participate in it

. If I see something worth commenting on, I'll comment on it, but beyond that, I'll keep my participation low until we

actually have something to base our votes on.

seems to me that he is giving himself reason to lurk.
reading this statement like a smirk.

got a question I would like to aska,
did you meta Ranger before you posted this Alabaska?

This is an implication to random voting and the babble that follows as players attempt to make sense of nothing.

[ooba]

RoTN is lurking in plain sight.

I'd hardly call what we are discussing drivel. Contribute !!

[Alabaska J]

Ah. I see. I read that part as the was drivel because there was no one nightkilled and therefore nothing to talk about at the beginning of day 1. My apologies.

@Drunken Piper: Yeah I meta'd him, and I do think this stance on random voting is odd, as he random voted in others games. I just wasn't sure random voting is what he was ranting about. Also, kudos on the rhyme.

[armlx]

I'm curious why armlx didn't find Al mildly suspicious for saying he believes townies should first and foremost not be suspect (something armlx disagrees with) but finds me mildly suspect for agreeing with his stance against random voting.

Notice my vote is still on Alabaska.

The part I was kinda suspect on was the fact you post looked a lot like "I agree with a logical pg 1 post, wagon X". However, given more background, it turns out I am wrong and you legitimately agree.

RotN, post please (assuming what ooba says is true)

Deadline is on

APRIL FOOLS' DAY

Needed to lynch a fool: 7 votes
If by deadline no one has 7 votes the fool is the player with more votes
If two fools share the top score of votes the foolest among them is decided by

duel

[gorckat]

Notice my vote is still on Alabaska.

Duh. I guess that implies a fair level of suspicion.

[Sir Tornado]

Drunken Piper, can you post at least once without rhyming please? I want to make sure there isn't any PR.

a meta will tell you what you need to know.
play this way in all games though.

Sir T, your thoughts on my meta on Ranger?
I noticed you havent addressed the topic, stranger.

[gorckat]

@Sir T: If he was faking one for some reason, would you expect him to come out when asked?

[springlullaby]

Through the question is not addressed to me, and I'm certainly interested in Sir Tornado's answer, I think your meta is drivel (what a nice word).

Change of gaming style is a null tell, and I don't see how that particular little speech would benefit a scum anyhow. However, what I find more interesting is your bringing up your 'meta' at every turn. Your meta here looks to me as a fine way to appears to be doing your homework, while in fact what you evidenced is inconsequential at the very best.

Unvote, vote: Drunken Piper

I think that the discussion on random voting is drivel also. Bias behind random votes are too hard to divine and too easy to disguise whether from town or scum to be important. What matters is the throwing of accusations, bandwagons etc. That said I also can understand that it's a nice place to start a discussion.

Seems I got ninja'd too.

he says he does not like random votes and day 1 posting is a shame,
but posts like mad day 1 and random votes in another game?

this does not bother you!
this does not bother you?

he basically says he will not chat (much) this day.
but you feel like his lurker attitude is A ok?

so I have your vote for actually be Hands On and trying to scum hunt.
but you have no problem with his lurking stunt?

Interesting to me,
noting this link, I be.

I am not faking a PR,
check out my other games and you will find them on par.

[Ration]

Meh,

Unvote

my 'stupid' vote.

P.S. I don't like the start of games, usually they are pointless, so I'll post more later on.
