Never really watched any baseball game. I prefer hockey and basketball, Blues in H and Magic in B for that matter ;] (as a guy from Europe I'm not region-biased or region-claimed to any team

)

And yeah, there's nothing wrong with RVS IMO. Someone will always say something weird, that will spark future discussion Not voting at all can lead to stalling, when no one will say anything, because there's no topic to discuss.

BACKPEDALING ON LAST PERSON TO GET TEN POSTS POLICY

Hey, who said I wasn't going to vote the last person to get 10 posts? I said we couldn't call anyone a lurker

yet

. By the time nineteen people get ten posts, we should be able to safely call someone a lurker.

FoS: Head_Honcho.

For purposefully posting in caps lock.

You specifically said it was a joke. Are you backpedaling on your backpedal? Is that what I'm seeing here?

Probing questions for the lulz? Love it.

H_H starts the game in the plus column.

Relevance of argument has no bearing on day one. Whoever you vote for, you vote for on no evidence aside from prior knowledge and arbitrary outside views. Unless a person outright goes "Blargh! I'm the Mafia!" I don't see why there's a problem with voting for petty reasons on day one.

That said, I agree with the seizures argument. Obviously Yabbaguy is trying to kill the users themselves.

Vote: Yabbaguy

The old "D1 IS REALLY HARD SO WE CAN VOTE WITH NO REASONING" excuse for not trying D1. Often scum.

...Change Day 1 to "RVS", otherwise I completely disagree with this statement. What do you mean by "arbitrary outside views"?

Honcho, how am I discouraging discussion? It seems the only thing that I discouraged was overzealous suspicions.

Blastinus · Post Post #84 (ISO) » Wed Oct 14, 2009 4:08 am

By "arbitrary outside views," I'm referring to people's preconceptions of players from other games. This is in reference to the guy a page or two back who voted for me simply due to the fact that we know each other.

At this stage in the game, these don't exist. Anything that gets people talking is acceptable.

Geez, I make one statement and everybody's mocking me left and right. I do love the internet.

Though I do admit that I am guilty of being relatively new to the game (total times played with friends: about 15, total times played online: 1). Take that as you will.

12Keyblade · Post Post #88 (ISO) » Wed Oct 14, 2009 8:31 am

I would like to clarify to Nikanor that I am not lurking because I do not have ten contentless posts.

Hyl · Post Post #89 (ISO) » Wed Oct 14, 2009 8:44 am

So, Blastinus, you're saying that the town can't lynch someone on Day 1 for

any

credible/informed reason? That one online game you played must have been full of trigger-happys.

Scumpoints for the avatar haters.

I don't know what the hell Flava-85's up to.

Blastinus · Post Post #92 (ISO) » Wed Oct 14, 2009 9:24 am

The online game I played before indulged in a lot of bandwagoning, actually. Someone would be like, "This guy is scum! We should lynch this guy!" and everyone else would go, "Okay!" Not really much productive activity occurred in that game.

But enough about me.

To be honest, Yab, I was being mostly satirical about the avatar vote. I don't know anyone in this game enough to make an educated guess.

The first sentence was a joke. The second can be serious if I want it to be. It depends. If we've caught scum, I'm not going to drop my vote on that person to pursue a lurker.
