The whole reason that bandwagons are useful is that they are a record of who amongst the town wanted to lynch someone or force a role claim out of them. You faking a daykill could easily have had her saying "Good job guys, you just killed the doc." Gee, wonder who the mafia would kill that night. Basically, you took the voting record away from the town, depriving them of that information. One of the few kinds of information that is more helpful to the town than the scum. On top of that, IF you're a townie and I were the vig, I'd have nailed you during the night for outing the doc (in that previous example), so we would have lost 2 pro-town roles in one night. Not pro-town at all.

Or, on the other side of the coin, you have the player not being retarded and believing it, and actually showing some protownieness, which is why my vote is NOT on Adele. Seriously. I don't find a fake daykill antitown.

unvote

. IH's right.

I never even realised before, but when I've been scum in the past and been lynched, I always protested my innocence into twilight - just in case there was a Mayor or something. Once before I was fake-daykilled when I was scum (:oops: I'm so easy) and I said "no, I'm innocent, you're bad waaah". Just in case. I don't think I've ever confessed while there was a snowball's chance in Hell that I'd be somehow saved. (Here's the link in case you're interested: Best of the Internet Mafia. God, that game went on)

But

, in those other cases (especially the , I didn't think "oh crap! Now's my last chance to say something of use here". I might omgus accuse someone, but I wouldn't give the kind of both-sides fair analysis I did on SL. His behaviour pulled a spontaneuos, brand-new reaction out of me. It's true, I could have ended up revealing something that would've damaged town (if I'd been a cop and had an innocent investigation on someone, better the town have that then nothing, right?). I don't think the benefits outweighed the risks, and I don't think it was a smart gambit
...and I won't pretend I'd've confessed as scum, so I was probably not an ideal target for it anyway...
...But I think it probably had protown motives. Or chance enough that I should unvote, anyway. It'd just be an omgus vote, and I don't like them.

Lecturing people on how your mind works and metagaming yourself is manipulative.

Don't be stupid.

Twito · Post Post #130 (ISO) » Fri Feb 09, 2007 8:47 am

So why are people voting Twito when he so obviously is protown?

IH · Post Post #131 (ISO) » Fri Feb 09, 2007 9:56 am

Why are we not voting the POTS!

unvote, vote:Pots

Also Twito, cause it's the cool thing to do.

Penguins of the Serengeti · Post Post #132 (ISO) » Fri Feb 09, 2007 12:12 pm

Yes, it is a cool thing to do, I agree.

But there is no downside to lynching Adele. Let's get on with the job.

klebian · Post Post #133 (ISO) » Fri Feb 09, 2007 12:33 pm

yasrsly,

unvote, vote pots

Penguins of the Serengeti · Post Post #134 (ISO) » Fri Feb 09, 2007 12:36 pm

klebian, it's not spelled "pots" it's spelled "Adele." Please revise your vote so as not to confuse the mod.

Ok this game just got 200% stupider, I'll have something of content soon.

No downside for

you

certainly. Since you got so obsessed with killing me following my revealing myself to also be in Pooky's little black book, I'm suddenly suspicious that your win condition is merely to see me dead. Are you a lyncher, POTS?

I wish I were a lyncher, but no.

I am just trying to get something happening in this game, and injecting a bit of humor. You're as good as any other "target" and if people are voting me for this, that's a good development just the same, as long as this game doesn't stall.

It's not cool. Didn't you hear? All the cool kids vote IH these days. They don't like their eyes being poked.

That's why everyone thinks it's cool to vote for Twito. Or else the eye poking commence.

Twito, IH, we are past the goofy random voting stage.

It's time to vote for Adele.

Quagmire · Post Post #144 (ISO) » Mon Feb 12, 2007 6:15 am

The game somewhat looks like it's stalling. I'm thinking of imposing a flexible deadline. What do you guys think?

IH · Post Post #145 (ISO) » Mon Feb 12, 2007 8:58 am

Nah, I'm saying Pots myself.

Sure. But maybe you could give reasons why you think I should be lynched, then I can answer back... you know, play a game of mafia.

At the same time, I maybe I can try to convince you to vote for Adele.

This game has to get started, come on people.

IH · Post Post #147 (ISO) » Mon Feb 12, 2007 9:16 am

Like you have Adele?

Penguins of the Serengeti · Post Post #148 (ISO) » Mon Feb 12, 2007 9:24 am

I am not sure what you mean by "have" but regardless, I don't have Adele.

I find her genuinely scummy. This post: http://mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 012#499012 is an uncalled for rehash of an old game. It sounds like a pre-emptive excuse to me, a kind of psych stragety to influence the town.

Then I keep voting for her and asking everyone to vote for her, and she coolly doesn't even get a teensy bit defensive.

And when people vote for me in return, she doesn't vote for me! Why? I suspect she doesn't want to compromise herself voting for a townie.

So, within a few pages and a few posts, I seriously think that Adele is scum, and we should lynch her.

IH · Post Post #149 (ISO) » Mon Feb 12, 2007 12:07 pm

confirm Vote:Pots

Please pay attention to prior pages. I had made a joke about that game. Adele obliged to explain.

You vote for her on basis of crap, as well as ask, so there is no reason for her to be defensive or else she'd be over defensive for you.

Also you're accusing her of

not

voting for you?
