Mini 304: This is NOT Any Kind of Mafia (Mod Abandoned)

[Yosarian2]

Oh, I didn't consider that - does changing a thread title knock it off of the Watched Topics list?

I actually don't use that...I just tend to go into each forum and say "Ok, I'm in that game, let me check that one." (shrug) Don't worry about it, I'm sure I'll get used to it.

[Tamuz]

unvote:Drummer vote: Raj

Yos, just look for the thread in this forum by Inhim, thats what I do.

And I vote for raj because he is supporting adele but swinging at another person. He is in one hand holding her statement up, but with the other undercutting it by not bandwagoning crop as he should be with a statement such as "bandwagoners should die". It is very interesting that he votes Vitamin R rather than crop, and I think it is scummy to boot.

So, yeah...Reasoing.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I meant when I said "taking the logic one step to far".

[Tamuz]

You've said that?

[Yosarian2]

Anyway,

vote:Raj

for taking that logic at least one step too far.

On another note, the title of this thread just messed me off AGAIN. I was just starting to write an apologetic PM to MeMe saying I somehow ended up in 3 regular minis at once, when I went through, checked the threads, and realized that this game is, in fact, a theme game. (sigh)

[Tamuz]

Right-O

I just explained it wholeheartedly.

[EmpTyger]

Apparently my vote in [35] wasn’t taken seriously by the mod; probably for the best, I suppose, given the date. Lest potential ambiguity remain:

Unvote: rajrhcpfreak

.


Drummer:
You seem a little too careful to justify each of your votes, and [65] seems too expository. Call it an uneasy suspicion…


Adele:
I don’t want to imply that I like crop’s selfvote- ordinary I strongly agree with Adele’s sentiment in [46]- but given the holiday, the theme, *and* the fact that it’s early in Day 1, I’m overlooking it. I’m assuming the town got burned in a recent game of yours?

[68] threw me off a bit too, for awhile, and I’d like to here more from rajrhcpfreak about it. Actually, I’m finding it more interesting that crop legitimized the pattern in [69].


rajrhcpfreak:
[see above]

I didn't justify anything. That was a joke. See, cropcircles said he was voting the person above him? So I voted him? See...? Nevermind.

And in post 65. Well, nobody was talking 'cept me, the mod, Adele, and those other couple of people. We were all messing around, waiting for stuff to get serious. Not that it's likely to happen in this game.

[rajrhcpfreak]

crop did it the last game i was in with him so i am attacking vit. for supporting people who self voting.

[Tamuz]

Why is that wrong for crop to do that last game? Metagamatically, you make no sense.

Why attack VitaminR rather than Crop if it is Crop's action that catches your eye?

[rajrhcpfreak]

i dont enjoys crops actions but killing him day one everytime wont stop him. so vitaminr is there say that us trying to discourage this action is like discourageing random votes.

i do hate random votes but voteing for your self and the mod is only funny once.

[Yosarian2]

So...you're seriously trying to discourage VitaminR frm tryong to discourage Adeline from trying to discourage Crop?

[Tamuz]

It seems like he is trying to accomplish a bad goal in a roundabout way.

Vote stays

[micigante]

Why attack VitaminR rather than Crop if it is Crop's action that catches your eye?

I totally agree with you. The fact that Rajrhcpfreak has written “self voters should die” and then he has switched his vote from me to vitamin, and not to crop is enough scummy to deserve my vote.
(I don’t have change my vote because I’m already voting for him )

[inHimshallibe]

Vote Count - Day 1

Bacde - 1 (JechtMurray)
Adele - 1 (VitaminR)
rajrhcpfreak - 3 (micigante, Yosarian2, Tamuz)
cropcircles - 2 (Adele, Drummer)
VitaminR - 1 (rajrhcpfreak)

Not voting, soon to be obliterated - 4 (Bacde, cropcircles, EmpTyger, ryanjunk)

[VitaminR]

Raj, what exactly is the difference between a random vote and a self-vote in terms of productivity? That it is only funny once? Why does that matter?

[Drummer]

inHim

: I find the heading changes to be refreshing and amusing. I never have any trouble locating a game with a name like "Five and a half step polka dance mafia."

VitR, it's not that the vote is funny, it's that the mod makes a joke about it. Post 61 was where it was. He's saying that inHim might take crops up on it next time.

[ryanjunk]

I'm here, I'm in, /confirm and so forth!

Random

Vote: VitaminR

Who wants to be healthy?

[Adele]

Adele:
I don’t want to imply that I like crop’s selfvote- ordinary I strongly agree with Adele’s sentiment in [46]- but given the holiday, the theme, *and* the fact that it’s early in Day 1, I’m overlooking it. I’m assuming the town got burned in a recent game of yours?

No, not really. I've just seen selfvotes several times - both in place of a random vote and in a petulant fit when subject of a bandwagon - and I see them as intrinsically anti-town behaviour (much like lying or lurking). And I'm acting from that perspective from here on in, no exceptions.

However, to prevent it from neutering me for the potential remainder of this game, I am willing to treat it - just this once - as merely a scum tell, not an automatic invitation to lynch.

In either case, there's no pressing reason to unvote or switch my vote at this point.

[rajrhcpfreak]

random votes we can react to it.

self votes are safe by not voting anyone and not making anyone mad.

unvote, vote Tamuz

for being a dumbass

[Tamuz]

uhmm, confirm vote?

[Yosarian2]

random votes we can react to it.

self votes are safe by not voting anyone and not making anyone mad.

unvote, vote Tamuz

for being a dumbass

Clarification: when you say "being a dumbass", do you mean "voting for raj", or is there something else I missed?

[rajrhcpfreak]

It seems like he is trying to accomplish a bad goal in a roundabout way.

Vote stays

by dumbass i mean hes calling my way of voteing a bad way.

i dont agreee with vit or crop.

but i dont feel like being an ass and getting crop killed day one two games in a row.

so im sorry i didnt bandwagon crop like you think i should do.

[Tamuz]

Your way of voting is not beneficial nor does it follow logically from the views you expressed.
Vale?

[cropcircles]

self votes are safe by not voting anyone and not making anyone mad.

Couldn't the same be said of people who don't random vote?
