Open 216 - Generic Reality Television Mafia! Day 2!

[Shattered Viewpoint]

Pressure for lurking. (Mine, at least.)

[kunkstar7]

2) Regarding the 'score', almost everyone switched over to mavs after he claimed bored scum. So how is Xscorpions's reaction any different from the several other votes that sprang up on him?

it does imply that he actually scumhunted Mavs.

Um...then how is this scummy?

3) This was questioned in the beginning of the post but for thoroughness:
How is a non-random hypocop scummy?

hypocoping was intended to be tool for helping real cop not for setting up lynches. But it seems to be nice move for our scum-lurkers, isnt it?

Again, I don't understand this. Who is setting up lynches, and how exactly? I still don't see it as scummy.

Town can't moved past it because we arrived to a suitable lynch candidate set yesterday but were deprived of the information yesterday, so we are forced to use today's lynch to make up for it. I am of the opinion right now that we should just lynch chnorek now for his insistence of finding a lynch other than himself, classic scum not wanting to get lynched early. We need to lynch either or to get the town to move past this, and it'll help give us a bearing regarding the wagon on either or both lynch candidates.

i see great town motivation here! you want quicklynch and it will put us in LyLO tommorow.

FoS: kunkstar

Yea, except for the fact that we wouldn't be pushing the lynch if we didn't believe that there was scum to be lynched? If you believe that it is a mislynch then you shouldn't be pushing it the lynch. I believe you are scum, therefore you are a lynch target.

Don't like either SV's or Nopoint's votes, but I find nopoint's even worse due the fact that it is still unexplained and it doesn't really make sense on imaginality. I haven't seen anything wrong with imaginality.

[Shattered Viewpoint]

Post coming later today (before midnight NZ time).

Not to speak for nopoint, but have you seen this?

[imaginality]

Excuse me for the site not loading (at least not for me) for pretty much the last two days, and being so slow when it has loaded that I'm not going to waste hours of my life trying to do isos and read previous pages.

Today seems better so let's see how it goes.

[ConfidAnon]

Day 2, Vote Count 5:

4 Shattered Viewpoint (XScorpion, Deer, imaginality, Miyu)

3 chnorek (kunkstar7, Chronopie)
1 XScorpion (chnorek)
1 imaginality (nopointinactingup)
1 peanutman (Shattered Viewpoint)

Not Voting: peanutman

With 10 alive, it takes

6 to lynch!

Day 2 Deadline: June 11 4:30 PM CST.

peanutman has failed to post in 72 hours. Ordinarily in this situation, I would send out a prod. However, this would be peanutman's third prod. As per the activity rules, peanutman has been forcibly replaced.

[Miyu]

Chnorek. What is your opinion on Chronopie and his admittance of not random hypocopping?

Is there a point SV? What is your reasoning? I assume it has something to do with both of them mentioning that they would be back later to post, then never did. Is that it? Or are you just trying to look like you are scum hunting?

I had the same thing happen imaginality. The last two days it would take close to a half hour just to get the forum index page to load. Then it would be the same when trying to get to Little Italy. I couldn't even get the game thread to load.

[Shattered Viewpoint]

Miyu, no point beyond the pressure that I've already indicated. Since there's a replacement in the works, I'll

unvote

I'm going to give imaginality a day or so before I vote

him

for lurking.

[Miyu]

Yes, but why did you decide to pressure vote? For what reason?

You do realize that you essentially fit the bill of a lurker, right? Wouldn't this be the pot calling the kettle black?

[Deer]

SV, don't you think there's better places to put your vote than imaginality, who's been one of the towniest people this game?

[Shattered Viewpoint]

I agree that imaginality *was* townish. However, add into this that he then disappeared,

after promising content,

and then *conveniently* showed up half an hour after I pointed out his broken promise, and it just looks too convenient for me.

I can't even begin to hypothesize why he may have come off as so very town and now is lurking through, but it raises red flags to me. It's just a pressure vote. Chill. If he provides actual content, I'll look elsewhere.

@Miyu: I decided to pressure vote because, largely,

nothing else is happening here.

It worked, nu? (And by "worked," I mean that it stimulated discussion, drew imaginality out of the woodwork, and got the game going again.)

[Shattered Viewpoint]

EBWOP: It's not even a frakking

pressure vote.

I'm not voting right now. It's, whaddyacall, a pressure intention-vote.

[XScorpion]

The game isn't "going again" until we get replacements and lurkers start posting. As far as I know, peanutman's replacement still isn't here and people are still sitting around in silence.

[Chronopie]

I'm announcing an extension on my

LA

.

Econometrics assignment is a bitch.

[nopointinactingup]

I personally don't see imaginality as townish much. He's experienced so he can very make himself townish to others in the beginning, especially with the posts bringing up the hypocop strategy. However, his recent activities is typically lurkish, inconsistent with his play in the early game.

And the feud between XS and SV looks pretty town-town to me, since both look very natural and unmeasured.

[ConfidAnon]

GroupThink replaces peanutman.

[nopointinactingup]

Ohh GroupThink invited me to a game once. Welcome.

He's already explained he has trouble connecting to the site. Maybe that is where the inconsistency is coming from?

Yeah, SV's vote hopping is real natural and his behaviour through the game has been really pro-town </sarcasm>

[Shattered Viewpoint]

To be fair, the site has had problems on Friday and Saturday. But it's been perfectly fine for me all day.

Vote: imaginality

GroupThink, how soon will you be posting?

[kunkstar7]

EBWOP: It's not even a frakking

pressure vote.

I'm not voting right now. It's, whaddyacall, a pressure intention-vote.

Say what? Backpedal harder scum.

It worked, nu? (And by "worked," I mean that it stimulated discussion, drew imaginality out of the woodwork, and got the game going again.

Didn't Xscorpion try to pull something like this Day 1? Oh yea and I recall you voted him for it too, nice one.

Unvote; Vote: Shattered Viewpoint.

[Miyu]

Welcome GroupThink.

Oh my goodness. SV makes me want to bash my head up against a brick wall.
I would naturally assume.. but apparently it needs to be pointed out nonetheless. Just because the site works well for you, does not mean in any way that it works fine for everyone else. It may be the internet, but obviously you've not taken into consideration that we are all not in the same place - therefore we connect differently.. etcetera.

nopoint, why does Scorpion vs SV look town vs town to you?

[Miyu]

There is no need to wait for replacement(s) to show up, for people to contribute Scorpion. That is purely lazy - and blaming the inactivity on someone whom just replaced in.
If you want the game to get going again, then post. Discuss.

[XScorpion]

I don't think there's much more that I need to say on my end. I'm pretty sure I already know who the scum are, and the way they are behaving is just reinforcing my opinion.
I'm pretty sure the only reason SV is still alive is because of the fiasco on day 1 combined with the fact that we need all of town (minus one person) to vote for SV unless we get scum to join the bus with us.

[Miyu]

Who are the scum then Scorpion?

How can you honestly complain about the level of activity in the game, if you apparently don't have much more to say?

[XScorpion]

Because if you've been paying attention (clearly not if you have to ask who I think is scum), you'd notice that I've already outlined who I think is scum. Not everyone else has, hence why I'm waiting.
How about you? Clearly you think SV is scum too, but have you given any thought to his partners?

The first quote (which you quote

out of context)

was after I voted peanutman. The second quote (again

out of context)

was talking about imaginality.

Two words: Bite. Me.

It worked, nu? (And by "worked," I mean that it stimulated discussion, drew imaginality out of the woodwork, and got the game going again.

I'm sorry. If I'm going to go

look

for something someone

may or may not

have done, could you AT LEAST BE MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR??

Thanks, ever so.
