The Hobbit Mafia - GAME OVER

[meaning of life 42]

ok, i'm sure alot of other people know what that means, but i'm speaking for all the dumb people, by saying what the hell does that mean¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?

Feeding the masses scum doesnt make them any smarter.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?

[Yaw]

Dude. Here's some Official J.R.R. Tolkein pipeweed. Have some and take it down a notch.

I'm not thrilled with the two replacements either in terms of scumminess, but I'd rather go after the lurkers on my previous logic and wait to see if either of them makes a mistake.

Feeding the masses scum doesnt make them any smarter.

Very true. Which is why

I

, at least, try to explain why I think people are scum when I feed them to the masses.

[meaning of life 42]

ok, hold on a second. I'm scummy? and why are we feeding scum to masses? who/what are masses? and how do you know they're not getting smarter¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?

[Yaw]

That isn't down enough notches.

Masses. Of people. Just feeding them scum and saying, "Vote for him," doesn't help them figure out how to pick out scum. Which was my point -- I explain why I think people are scum, both because I don't expect people to take my analyses on faith, and because it might help people become better scum hunters.

And why wouldn't you feed scum to the masses? If you've caught one, it's pretty much what you're supposed to do.

[meaning of life 42]

ohh, ok. well, just remember i'm stupid, and have to have alot of stuff explained to me. And i wasn't going to take it down any notches untill i found out what all this ment. now that i know, i'm going to just hang and chill out. also i gotta go because i gotta catch a bus for school at 6:10 in the morning...........( damn school with their stupid buses and their stupid comming early and waking me up from my sleep.........and their stupid quizes..........and also their stupid teacher who thinks she hitler junior................this is too funny because she doesn't know yet that i'm jewish, and told the whole calss some people call her that because she can be very mean........wait till tomorrow when i go up to her and say "Shalom".)

Okay, been slammed with work 10 hour days and it's only going to get more hectic in the next couple of weeks. So between that and the mini, I've been quieter then I should, my apologies.

Good things: 2 scum groups dead, no kills last night.

Bad things: Far too many people are inactive, so that there were no kills last night isn't really conclusive of anything.

Also, for those who are trying to claim the koraiss lynch for themselves *applauds and *, still doesn't mean you're not scum =^-^=, as he was the last of his group.

Oh and pet peeve time, I despise one line posts. So, while I might not have the sheer quantity of posts that many of the other players have, mine actually have content the vast majority of the time.

Personally, I see between 4-7 scum remaining (1-2 gobbies, 1 snapper, 2-3 spiders, and 1 wizard). The problem is that the trolls had a somewhat complicated kill method, so the other groups could have lesser numbers due to easier killing; however, at the same time there are two named Goblins in The Hobbit, so having a misc. one would likely indicate a group of 3+. Yes, I am beating a somewhat dead horse, but if it helps to understand the mechanics behind the game, it is well-worth it, imo.

Going along with my hatred of one line posts and a decided lack of choices submitted last night

fos: lord gurgi

I would vote for him, but he is on vacation. One of the problems I have with one-line posts is it allows mafia to seem active while contributing nothing. I would wager that at least 2 groups did not submit their kills, either that or multiple groups targeted the same person who was then doc saved, although in such a case it is normal for said person to still die, but it depends heavily on the mod.

Honestly, I just want to see votes, lots of votes. As stalled as we are now (and I dont underdtand why) people posting and not voting isnt helping matters either. Lets get a move on.

[Yaw]

Day only dawned Friday night. Weekends are generally slower. Give it at least a weekday before complaining.

OMGUS

Vote :meaning of life 42

There we are, IS... I hope that helps

[meaning of life 42]

Yeah, i realize i suck since i'm new here, but i'm not one of the inactives here. arn't we pressuring them to play again?

[CoolBot]

Actually, we're looking for scum and many of us think there's probably a good chance that some of the lurkers are scum. And that last post of 42's looks like he wants to go after lurkers at the expense of finding scum. Am I misunderstanding?

[Yaw]

I don't understand this, CoolBot. If there's a good chance some of the lurkers are scum, then how would going after lurkers be at the expense of finding scum? It seems like a contradiction to me.

[CoolBot]

What I mean is we're going after scum, who may be lurkers, not just lurkers. I looks like 42 wants to give scum who are not lurkers a brake, and I want to know if he really meant that.

[MMCL]

*is confused* ... what if the lurkers who aren't scum are in a different group than the scum that aren't lurkers...

LOL

[meaning of life 42]

ok, now i'm really confused, espically since i really didn't even know what scum, or lurkers are in the first place.

(correct me if i'm wrong)
lurkers are people who r inactive, or don't post..........?
and scum are bad people....................?

once those 2 statements are correct, if they're wrong, then you and i will know weither or not i want to give scum who arn't lurkers a break.

[Yaw]

Yes, scum is a catch-all for "evil people". Lurker is a pretty common internet term for someone who watches a message board, but doesn't post. We might modify that here to "doesn't post often", but the principle remains.

[meaning of life 42]

so then yeah, i do want to give lurkers who aren't scum a break, and get some more people active again, or replace them.( i'm sure many of u don't want more replace ments, since 2 have already joined) sooo........yeah.



k.

[MMCL]

[drummer97531]

I'm here. I just missed the weekend is all. Err, let this be a note to everyone. I do not go inactive. I just have internet problems. If I get involved in something, I don't just quit. If I'm ever going to leave, there'll be a thread.

I'm really behind unfortunately. I can't even remember who I'm voting for right now. I'm too rushed to find out(thanks to Yaw who has tricked me into joining two themed games at once). I will try and catch up.
