It is spelt correctly for a name silly!

Off topic...Wishing a very Happy Birthday to our Mod!

[StrangerCoug]

Well so it is...

Happy birthday, mod!

[Corvuus]

I guess you meant it is spelled correctly for a silly name!

Happy B-day mod!

Happy B-day Mod

[Corvuus]

huh, so miteymouse is your name... then are you really a mouse or named after one?

Would it... happen to be Mightymouse the great hero of our galaxy who cruises around saves the day, or Evil Twin Mightymouse who obliterates his foes with lasers from his eyes!

Of course it it my real name...but you can call me Mitey if you want! Mouse is my last name....hehehe! It is actually a nickname from high school. I am, of course the great hero....I have never had lasers come out of my eyes!

[Corvuus]

If that is the case, wouldn't there be a space in the name? Mitey Mouse?

Anyways, we should try to get this day rolling at some point.

Days I read commonly kick off from someone doing something scummy, or a player jumping on the smallest of actions. The former is misguided because it usually occurs when a newbie that doesn't know better stumbles, or the player just does this on purpose to start the day or set an obvious scum trap. As for the latter, I deeply despise it because the eager paranoid does not find those actions scummy at all, and will most likely generate a discussion based on false/exaggerated premises and opinions. The paranoid also unfairly earns suspicious for being "jumpy" and is labeled as scum trying to lynch a townie based on nothing, which is almost never the case (...).

How does everyone else feel about this?

Well, something has to happen to get the ball rolling, I can tell you that. For the first one, we cannot clear the person that did the scummy action just because the person is new (that's called the newbie card). As for somebody doing something on purpose, I've done that once before and nearly got my head ripped off for it, but it sure got reactions going, which was clearly what I intended to do with it.

Jumping on the smallest of actions is also known as jumping at shadows and warrants a vote on the person doing it.

Vote: Corvuus

[StrangerCoug]

Vote: Corvuus

Would you like to explain?

[Evilgorrilaz]

No.

[Primate]

[Evilgorrilaz]

Oh and I mostly agree with Atlas.

[StrangerCoug]

Unvote: Atlas
Vote: EvilGorillaz

for refusing to explain his vote on Corvuus.

[Atlas]

You're right that we shouldn't let the player slide because s/he is a newbie, but a newbie's actions are considerably more tricky to analyze when it comes down to if they know what they're doing. Mislynches on Day 1 frequently fit this situation.

Primate, does the dancing lemon signify anything?

I was referring to jumping on meaningless actions in the first couple of pages. If this is what you also meant, then I hugely disagree. Calling everything suspicious in the RVS is more of a null-tell to me, because I don't see mafia gaining anything from it (unless the town is stupid enough to lynch based on such a weak case.) #42 is a clear example of such... I don't see EvilGorrilaz any more likely to be mafia with his vote. Clearly it's not pro-town to vote without explained reason, but I don't see him pushing any malicious agendas with it.

I couldn't tell whether Evilgorillaz's vote was random or not. There are scummier actions than voting without an explanation, yes, even than refusing to explain your vote. I am also fully aware that Evilgorillaz may or may not be today's lynch. We do not have just one Mafia member. In my experience, three is the most common in a mini, though I've also seen and heard of two (not on their own, however—some of those two-player teams had traitors working for them, some were playing against another two-player Mafia team).

Where did I say or imply anything along the lines of calling everything in random voting suspicious?

[Atlas]

I doubt Evil's vote was random.

#35 was centered around events that generated Day 1 discussion and with it RVS paranoia, so when you responded I thought you were talking about RVS paranoia as well. My mistake.

Interesting.

I doubt Evil's vote was random.

Why?

[Atlas]

Because I've seen a million no-explanation votes in a similar fashion that weren't meant for much else other than dicussion purposes. You may have randomly picked out Corvuus but it's unlikely that you voted at such an inapt time for the heck of it. Also, the way you responded to StrangerCoug with a flat "No" as if there were more behind the vote.

[Huntress]

Thanks for the birthday wishes

....is spelling correct name for voting in bold that important?

I don't need exact spelling or full names as long as it's clear who you're voting for.
