Mini 799 - One Flew Over A Cuckoo's Nest, Abandoned for Real

[Starbuck]

We are all in an asylum (technically), should it?

=P

UNVOTE

Hmm.

Supposing a person was scum, and asked this question. It might lead to a Townie tripping themselves up upon answering it, and trying to not tell the truth in order to answer a supposed hypothetical. Since scum knows who's town and who isn't, if the Townie being questioned claimed scum* it would show that Townie as lying. As I said, not much usefulness, but some slight usefulness; which is why I just don't see the point of the question in the first place (which is what I said initially).

*blink*

How can you lie about who you would want to be scum with?

[Platypus_Dude]

If there is any post restriction, the Chief Bramdon (sp?) has one.

I'm not sure what the other characters would have for roles.

No. I'm saying if a Townie was tripped up and claimed scum (which would be a lie).

[Crazy]

Why would a townie claim scum as a result of Kise's question?

(Also, I don't have a post restriction, and I haven't read the book/seen the movie either, so I have no knowledge of the flavor at all.)

Why would a Townie claim scum at all, ever? I don't know, but I've seen it happen.

Any more questions? Keep 'em coming.

[Kid Know Nothing]

could you please answer the question I posed about your mafia experience...I do want to know.

Honestly, and no disrespect, but.. I think answering this is irrelevant for a townie player to know. On the other hand, this is more benefiting for the mafia to know about their opponents. By answering this question TRUTHFULLY, it would end up resulting in doing 1 of 2 things for me. I would either 1) Say I have minimal experience, which in turn makes everyone think I'm not worth taking serious, or 2) I'm informing the mafia whether I'm too smart of a game player to be kept alive after the NP. By saying I have a lengthy amount of experience, that would put a bulleyes on my back for the mafia to consider NK'ing me and leaving the less-experienced townies alive to be tricked and defeated.

I'm understanding what you are saying but I don't think it's that great of a reason not to provide some form of Meta or an answer to this question. To me, this subtly reads that you are above posting your experience and you don't have to answer this question.

Lack of experience =/= not being taken serious. Being experienced =/= mean a NK all the time.

Also; I prefer Kid to KKN, just so everyone knows.

With 12 alive it takes 7 to lobotomize

[VP Baltar]

Contradictions are scummy.

Is this a hard and fast rule for you?

I think I'm actually ready to move out of RVS.

I would hope so. Do you consider your vote on Kise to be a serious vote?

I'm in the process of reading the book now, and I can see a possibility of 4 scum (that's obviously not likely though). Also, I think their may be an SK, we are in an insane asylum, after all.

More scumhunting, less setup speculation would be useful at this point.

This is an odd post. Especially with the bolded part.

Also, camn expresses anger in many of her posts. I think she tried to cover this up at the beginning with her "listening to NIN" post.

There are a lot of question marks and elippsisses (elippsi?), but they are sporadic and pertain to no one particular person.

In general the game itself isn't playing...normally.

This all looks like an attempt to look busy without really contributing.

Unvote, Vote:Skitzer

Hmm.

Stellar analysis...care to elaborate?

I think I need a translater for Josh Lyman's posts. KKN, can you get an avatar plz?

mod, did you prod Taranski?

[skitzer]

Um, I was elaborating on the question someone asked me, and you've broken it apart to look like I they are two separate things. I haven't really found much yet to contribute about yet.

[VP Baltar]

yeah, but no one asked you about post restrictions or reading kesey or number of scum in the first place, correct?

Can you tell me how any of those are more than pretty baseless speculation or would serve the town in helping to find scum at this point?

[skitzer]

Well, I haven't noticed any much of discussion yet, so I'm trying to start some by speculating about odd posts I've noticed, and such. That way, we can actually get some serious discussion started.

[Crazy]

Well, uhh, you voted Kise for asking that question because you thought it might lead to a townie claiming scum...?????

Is this a hard and fast rule for you?

Essentially, yes. There may be a few exceptions, but I have no objection to Kise's line of questioning about it.

[Kid Know Nothing]

Unvote

Skitzer, how strongly do you feel that there are post restrictions going on? And do you feel that the discussion thus far hasn't been serious discussion?

[camn]

Hmm.

Stellar analysis...care to elaborate?

Not really.
It was a RVS/Pressure vote... and I don't really believe in it anymore.

[Josh Lyman]

Five pages and you can't find any discussion?

I hate lurkers.

Unvote, Vote skitzer

No, I voted

Kise

for asking that question because I thought it made him look like scum. YMMV.

[Platypus_Dude]

o_O

Unvote: Kise;
Vote: Josh Lyman

for vote hopping.

Taran is lurking more, and you changed your vote after someone switched to them. Any reason you would rather vote skitzer?

VP: I'm getting the sense that you like the game to move quickly? Any reason?

[VP Baltar]

It's more fun and will move us out of the RVS sooner. Any reason not to?

I support Josh Lyman and/or skitzer hate.

[camn]

Vote : Josh Lyman.

I am in too many games with the same people.
There is going to be some emotional transference.

Be advised.

Because while

Taran

is simply not here,

skitzer

is here but trying to pass off this stuff about "not finding discussion." Seems very 'hiding in plain sight' to me, and therefore scummy.

[Stef]

Prods going out to: imaginality, Taranski

[imaginality]

Argh, apologies. Who knew buying a house would take up valuable mafia-playing time? Proper post on its way later.

[Kise]

So what are we looking at here; 2 or 3 mafia? I can already see the teamwork amongst a few of you.

When skitzer said there could be 4 mafia, she basically answered a question I was curious of. I'm not sure if she saw my question, because the way she responded did not give me that impression. But when I asked how many mafia were possibly in this game, I wanted an answer from someone who normally plays mini games on mafiascum.

And back on the topic of teamwork, (and I'm not going to FoS anybody, but) VP, Josh & Kid have not been suspecting of

each other

at all. Guys, I just want to point out how this looks like you're watching each other's back and acting as if you 3 can trust each other as being on the same side.

First VP saves Kid by ignoring his hypocritical comment on me not helping to scumhunt. Then Josh comes in, ready to vote for anyone [seemingly] opposing VP and/or Kid, which was me at the time. Now VP asks Josh if he's serious about a vote on me, essentially treating Josh like you guys are buddied up on D1.

The way I see things, you guys are (possibly, not definitely) covering each other up by ignoring each other's wrongdoings and focusing on the minor slips of others, rather than the slightly greater slips you 3 make. Rest assured that it will take more for me to see before I vote anyone.
