/confirm

We just can't get a game away from each other, can we, DRK?

[Idiotking]

It's like you're stalking me or something....you're not stalking me, right?...Right?!

No, of course not, never!

For being the only other person here that I remember! Or... at least, remember remembering.

My apologies for inactivity, folks, my week's been hell. I'll do a quick reread in a few hours and post my thoughts.

[Idiotking]

Thoughts:

I had no idea what was going on until page 6 or so, to be honest. I couldn't tell what was RVS, sarcasm, or serious. You folks make my brain hurt.

As for scumtells:

I think Far_Cry is an interesting case, jumpy. He seemed to get serious far before anyone else did, and reacted... oh, what's the term... negatively? Now that he's replacing out I feel somewhat sad, because now the replacement can't elaborate on what Far_Cry was thinking.

EC also annoys me like all hell. I think it's suspicious to withhold information and reasoning for one's actions (I hate gambits and anything that could be mistaken as such), which makes EC out to be a living, breathing scumtell.

Unvote

Vote EC

On the other hand I don't see BB's actions as suspicious. Anything to generate discussion is a good thing, and if he did really vote for a no-lynch to get us out of RVS, I applaud that, especially since without it we'd probably still be in RVS.

One other thought:
It's natural to assume there's a Godfather in games of Mafia. As far as I can remember I've never been in a game

without

one, so I can understand why folks would expect there to be one.

[Idiotking]

Just so everyone knows, that's L-2.

@IK
Can you think of any non-mafia motivations for EC's actions? I'm just looking for a yes or a no (I asked you specifically because your experience playing with me makes you more likely to figure out what I'm implying).

If it were an isolated incident, yes. But EC's taken it to the extremes, so I have to say a no, not from my experience. And I'm not really good at picking up on implications

[Idiotking]

Is there any particular reason why you're playing coy, EC, or do you just like annoying people?

[Idiotking]

I don't ever assume or think there's a Jester. I've never been in a game with one, and if I did indeed play one, I'd question the mod and refuse to ever play under that mod, or play with that person, in a game ever again. Jester is a horrible, horrible role and shouldn't even exist. As such, I won't ever accept that there is one.

No, I think EC is just being stupid.

[Idiotking]

All of my posts post-return have been serious, I think.

– What do you define as ‘gambit’?

I think a gambit or gamble is when people do something that may be seen as scummy or PR-esque to get people to react, when it's not really the case. A vanilla townie acting like a PR to get NK'd instead of a real PR, for example, or a townie doing something that seems scummy so they can see whether others jump on them overeagerly and try to get a premature bandwagon. That sort of thing.

I don't like them because I can never tell what's a gamble and what's genuine if they do that.

@BigBear & IdiotKing: Are you still happy with your current position on the Cookie wagon?

Nothing's changed to make me reconsider my vote. I prefer getting rid of useless people first so they don't screw things up later when we're in more dire situations.

Mod: Request Replacement

I'm sorry, guys, I'm just too busy to be able to be in this game. Maybe my replacement will be able to be more active.
