And yeah,snafoo, it really DOES look like you can't make up your mind. There was this old saying I thought was funny when I was in grade school: "Fighting a battle of wits against an unarmed opponent." First you vote for the guy who hasn't posted in the game and should be replaced; then you vote on the guy who hasn't shown up to defend himself. Kick defenseless kittens much?
Well, I hope we are all still interested in scum hunting. I think quite a few people are waiting for Demon King to respond to the various allegations, and there may be a few people who are just... waiting. Obviously if you don't say anything you can't say anything scummy, but lurkers (as well as being suspicious for lurking) make particularly good night kills as their death gives nothing away. And no, that is not me giving hints to the mafia, it is me politely suggesting to the townies that they get more involvedBut to no avail - looking at the recent election results in Italy it should come as no surprise that no one is really interested in hunting down mafiascum anymore.
That's an interesting way to parafrase my words. Please explain your interpretation.massive wrote:All right, I'll get more involved. I'm going to go ahead andvote snafoo. His response to my question basically said "I'm willing to go ahead and vote for any person, even if no reason is given for said person's bandwagon." That to me is not how a townie would play.
Isn't that a reason that was given? Voting just to get an answer out of someone is, to me at least, townie play, because the mafia would rather the accused keep quiet and then lynch him.snafoo wrote: Yeah, maybe we can wake up the sleepingdogswolves:

All right, I'll get more involved. I'm going to go ahead and vote snafoo. His response to my question basically said "I'm willing to go ahead and vote for any person, even if no reason is given for said person's bandwagon." That to me is not how a townie would play.
What does his reply mean? He either is a newb townie or scum frustrated for being voted. Or he used OMGUS as random vote, which is quite common in mafia games afaik. What I found much more intriguing were the responses to Demon. First Litral makes my head spin:Demonking wrote:Now you're in a newbie game as a newbie. That may mean that you actually did a scum vote first mistake.
I'm still not absolutely sure what he means by that. Is making an OMGUS vote a scum trait?Litral wrote:Craplogic 1. You're in a newbie game as a newbie as well. Does that mean you just did an obvious OMGUS vote? This would mean you're scum.
At first this post looked pretty innocent to me. But later on I started to doubt Muerrto's motives. Why did he jump to the support of Litral so quick? I think that Muerrto wouldn't normally take an OMGUS at random voting stage so seriously.Muerrto wrote:Um...this is the random voting stage, you took that vote way too seriously
Vote: Demon
With this message Archivist became my first suspect. To me he was trying to play the 'I know nothing so I can't be scum' card a little too hard (see his later messages as well. In addition, not wanting to vote makes him scummy as well.Super Archivist wrote:Hello people! I don't feel like random voting at the moment because I like you all so far. Very Happy
When does this "random voting" thing end anyway? Does anyone actually get killed on the first day?
Of course, the passive person is Massive, so Demon might bandwagon here. This post is obviously scummy, so much so that I still don't buy it. ObviousDemonking wrote:The way I see it, its better to begin logicly straight away and miss out the random voting stage. So I'll change my point and agree with Snafoo, so I'll point to the person who is neither active or ill.
Another interesting post. Why can't Massive vote for Muerrto anymore? Because he has 1 vote (from me)? Hmm, I'm not convinced. What if Massive and Muerrto both are scum?Massive wrote:That's disappointing, I really wanted to vote Muerrto, seeing as how he was scum in my last Newbie game! I got my eye on you!
Demonking: Can you speak a little about your vote for me?
Muerrto doesn't give any arguments why we should not lynch an IC. Instead he suggests that no one could/should/would vote off an IC thinking straight.Muerrto wrote:Please tell me this was a joke...snafoo wrote: Since it would be a shame to vote off a newb on day one, I'd rather vote for an IC.
This was the post that made me suspect Muerrto. What does he mean by "from your further posts and your questioning of his vote"? And why, if he thought that Demon's OMGUS was a random vote, did he jump in so quickly to attack? I found the early scapegoat very funny. Now who was trying to find an early scapegoat to buils a case on? Demon or Muerrto (using Litral's opening)?Muerrto wrote:My vote's good on Demon right now.
You also questioned Litral's random vote for you and OMGUS'ed him. I figured it was a random vote as well but from your further posts and your questioning of his vote I see it wasn't.
Are you simply unfamiliar with the 'random voting stage' that normally occurs? Or were you trying to find an early scapegoat to build a case on?
AnxiousMuerrto wrote:Little anxious for a bandwagon there...Super Archivist wrote: The vote count edit at the top is sweet!
I find it odd that Demonking is voting for massive when he hasn't done anything. Why wouldn't Demon vote for Litral or Muerrto? It seems suspicious...
I hope Demon posts soon, because it looks like he's going to be bandwagoned. I won't vote until I hear more from him.
So you're encouraging Demon to OMGUS vote me or Litral just because we voted him? If he's town he doesn't know if we're scum or not and vice versa so why would voting him automatically make us scummy in his eyes?
As Litral and Walnut pointed out, I did give a reason for voting Demon. So either Massive misread my earlier post or does this on purpose.All right, I'll get more involved. I'm going to go ahead and vote snafoo. His response to my question basically said "I'm willing to go ahead and vote for any person, even if no reason is given for said person's bandwagon." That to me is not how a townie would play.
And in response to my Muerrto comment from the beginning of the day: We were in the same Newbie last time around; Muerrto was scum and I nailed him. It was an inside joke more than anything. And while I do believe in random voting, I don't believe in random or OMGUS bandwagoning.snafoo wrote:I didn't change my vote so I could kick another defenseless kitten this time (although I'm spineless enough to do so anytime).
Tell me what about being an IC makes us more or less likely to be scum and I'll vote myself...snafoo wrote:Muerrto doesn't give any arguments why we should not lynch an IC. Instead he suggests that no one could/should/would vote off an IC thinking straight.
Demonking's argument was: you are a newbie suggests you made a mistake. The mistake was to vote first. This is scummy.Demonking wrote:Now you're in a newbie game as a newbie. That may mean that you actually did a scum vote first mistake.
My (mocking) argument: you are a newbie suggests you made a mistake. The mistake was that you did an OMGUS vote. This is scummy.I wrote: Craplogic 1. You're in a newbie game as a newbie as well. Does that mean you just did an obvious OMGUS vote? This would mean you're scum.
I myself find it strange that SA has asked about one of the most basic rules, because he certainly knew a lot of things (such as random voting, lynching, pro-town, IC, etc.), but not enough to know the day ends after a lynch...? Queer. SA, in this game, showing that you are new is actually discouraged (sorry for that), so even though I may not understand some of the game, I try to work it out myself. It's not very newbie-friendly, but... heck.Super Archivist wrote: Sorry for my noobishness, but what does L-2 mean? The wiki doesn't have anything on it...
Also, when does the first day end? Will there be a time limit or something?
I don't think he's saying that an IC is more likely to be scum. He was saying it'd be more newbie-friendly not to vote off a newbie, and that was as much as he had for the first semi-random vote. He didn't - and I don't - like the "this is a joke" response because it was rather blunt. How is he pushing it way too much?Muerrto wrote: Until then
Unvote, Vote: Snafoo
for pushing the 'vote an IC' thing waaay too much.
Really? The town wants to win. Selfish as it may be, the town wants to just find the mafia. Moving votes onto people who are not in the game is a good way to find out if they're mafia, because it'll pull them back into the game... uh... theoretically.massive wrote: He's deliberately moving his vote onto people who are not in the game. That's not townie behavior -- townie behavior would ask for those people to be replaced.
Let's see, Demon's last post was on Friday 11 (post #19), my vote for Demonking was on Monday 14. So you're suggesting I knew that Demonking was not in the game less than 72 hours after his last post?massive wrote:Litral: Your post, 55, basically makes my point. He moves his vote from Mike4876 (who he voted for for not having posted yet) to DemonKing, whowe knowis not actively following the game. My post [45] says exactly that.He's deliberately moving his vote onto people who are not in the game.That's not townie behavior -- townie behavior would ask for those people to be replaced.
I might if you answer my earlier question first. Here's my question, in case you forgot:
snafoo: Maybe you'd like to rephrase this then?
snafoo wrote:I didn't change my vote so I could kick another defenseless kitten this time (although I'm spineless enough to do so anytime).

Did I ever claim that? Instead of a serious response, is this all you can do?

Hehe actually it's the exact opposite. Scum don't care who dies as long as it's not them. They try to convince everyone that everyone else is scummy. Causing paranoia is an excellent scum tactic. If everyone's acting scummy for one reason or another, votes will be flying more.Litral wrote:I am particularly intrigued why you have not tried to cast suspicions on people, except those who you were voting against. Seems that a townie would not focus so much on just one target at a time. Maybe you could tell us what you think and help us find the scum instead?
Soo...what's your case to lynch the IC's then? If it's this newbie-friendly crap you in the wrong game boy. This is mafia, not the frickin care bears. I'm not sacking myself so you can play an extra day. I'm here to help the town win and whether you're newbie or not I'll lynch you. That's mafia.snafoo wrote:Did I ever claim that?

There were 24 posts between his last post and your vote, 10 of which mention Demonking by name. That's not slow. There was plenty of discussion. There were plenty of people calling for Demonking to explain himself. He wasn't. He hadn't posted anywhere on site after that last post. So yeah, I think one could have easily guessed that Demonking was not in the game at that point.

Hm...I don't remember ever even defending myself, could you quote me? I don't defend my actions often so I'd be surprised.Super Archivist wrote:but I think Muerrto's last post was very... defensive. He seemed angry. Now, I don't know if that's because he's mafia, or a townie under fire trying to defend himself, but still... Sarcasm and anger just feels anti-town to me...
Huh. That does not compute for me. A townie never knows who is the real scum; he has only suspicions to act on. There's no way he can be sure. But a scum does know who he points at is or is not scum. If you're townie, I'm certain you wouldn't know who the mafia is, because your reason for voting snafoo is weak (which I will discuss below).Muerrto wrote: Scum don't care who dies as long as it's not them.

Town very much cares.
The first random vote. The entire thing is full of randomness. True, he stuffed it with a bit of logic, but I like the logic.snafoo wrote: Since it would be a shame to vote off a newb on day one, I'd rather vote for an IC.

This is no longer his case in his suspecting you. If this was his case there were two more people he could've voted. But he voted you. He had other suspicions, which you have completely ignored up to now. Also, again, first random vote, it's better not make the newbies (such as I) feel too bad about being random voted.Muerrto wrote: Soo...what's your case to lynch the IC's then?

You're saying his entire campaign is to "vote out the ICs"? That doesn't make sense at all. It's not like there's some obscure role which wins if you vote out the ICs or something.... I think. That's not his purpose, since it just plain makes no sense to be a purpose at all, but you're trying to make it sound as if it is.Muerrto wrote: Sadly, your top two suspects are both IC's and that's no coincidence. And you never miss a chance to mention both of those IC's in your post, even when the post has nothing to do with the other one, see below:
Again, not his main point any more. He only considered the IC factor in post no. 60, not because he's voting for IC, but because his first random vote for IC raised a sarcastic response for you, which seemed like a scummy way to defend yourself.Muerrto wrote:
Soo...I'm sposed to give an argument why not to lynch an IC when you haven't given an argument on WHY to lynch an IC?
You lynch scum, period. Being an IC doesn't make you more or less likely to be scum so it should never be a factor in deciding.
It is not. It is a factor when determining who to vote for in the first random vote. He never pursued the argument again as part of his attack on you.Muerrto wrote: So I repeat, give me a reason why being an IC would make one more or less likely to be scum. Give me a reason why being an IC is even a factor when determining if someone is scum.
But this does not mean he supports an argument indicating Muerrto is scum. That refers to Muerrto's sarcastic response to his vote which was random in nature. It's not even his main argument.snafoo wrote: Muerrto doesn't give any arguments why we should not lynch an IC. Instead he suggests that no one could/should/would vote off an IC thinking straight.
