Unvote


Vote: GroupThink
Overreacting already? Was my random vote, brought on by Kleedrac's hypocrisy, really that much more "precarious" than your vote to end town discussion in your very first post of the game?

I second this ammendment.

i'm very reserved in posting for many reasons one i usually don't understand half of what other people are saying.
eg. i'm playing another game ona different site and everyone is going on about how such and such is mafia due to what they have said and i just don't get it. which is why i'm here to try and learn
You and me both.

You're the one overreacting, hate to tell you.
How so?
Cove wrote:Also, if I was trying to stifle town discussion, why have I answered the questions while you haven't?
Because you're a hypocrite, voting not to answer questions but backpedaling to fit in.

Kleedrac wrote:This is my first game here though I've played on somethingawful forums and such. I am a little concerned by the three week deadline on day 1 as I can't help but think it will promote ignoring the thread for 2.5 weeks :P
No one is going to want to drop the hammer before the deadline
and anyone on the block will try to promote weeks worth of conversation. Is this normal for this site? The FAQ listed the average length of a newbie game 3 weeks or did that mean day 1?
I disagree.

Remy wrote:Anyway, I am simply looking for SOME reason to vote for a person at this point. Isn't that what we are all trying to do? Otherwise it is just a lengthy lottery. I don't see how looking for some evidence to use against a person when I place my vote (you called it "jump[ing] out at people") would point to me being scum. Townies are constantly looking for any bit of evidence to use in a conviction, if they want to lynch the right people and win the game.
I want to win the game.
unvote; vote Remy


AQUA wrote:6. Honestly no, unless the mafia is retarded and can't read, then they aren't going to lurk when a lot of people are saying "lynch lurkers".
They're also going to read everything else you post and adjust accordingly.

This is absolutely ridiculous. My life won't become any less entertaining because you put "pressure" votes on me. I'm sorry. That and I have to get familiarized with all your avatars again because I could've sworn Robo was NKd on his birthday...

vrtra wrote:Personally, I don't find any players in this game annoying, a lot of posting does not equate to annoyance unless they are one-line stupid posts.
I'm guilty of that sometimes. I don't necessarily think they're stupid, but alot of my posts tend to be one-lined.

vote Cove
This
seems
a little defensive to me. Why are you reacting like this to a random vote?
Why input the term "seems"? So you can backpedal later on for lack of expressed initial confidence? Why are you so alarmed by my random vote on Cove but no one else's random vote on anyone else?

Robo
was
NKd on his birthday, and they killed me, too, the turds. Vanilla Townie.

Prolly shouldn't link ongoing games, but that's what my Wiki's for.

I also forgot to mention in reply to Cove's accusation that my "meta" indicated a shift in aligment. If he was really serious with his accusations, he would've noticed that the game in question was one I started before I signed up for this one, and, therefore, had and has my full attention. Apparently, he wasn't serious, though.

That appears to be the only reason for my lynch.

I claimed back in 202. Vanilla Townie. And I can tell you who the scum are if I'm lynched and we get a NK.

I take it this means you're competent enough to stay off a mislynch D1 as scum? Would that be proper play?

Coke.

Well that's what your response was - a stretch - and I knew no way to answer it.

Mod: Please replace me.

Life is just much too hectic for this game right now, hopefully my replacement will be able to devote adequate time for this game.
I didn't know you could voluntarily ask for a replacement. Maybe I should do that in all my other games.

vrtra wrote:I liked playing scum last game
Sorry you couldn't be scum this time around.
AKnottedRope wrote:
GT wrote:Is this the only reason for my lynch?
No, it's not.

The reasons for your lynch include:

Incessant lurking

A flippant attitude towards the game

A disregard towards questions and votes directed at you
Thinking robo got NK'd (which you still haven't explained)
Your meta points to you being active when you're town


Any other questions?
Incessant lurking isn't a reason for a lynch; it's a reason for a replacement. Flippant attitudes, or the perception thereof, aren't indicative of alignments; they're not even indicative of personalities. I replaced into too many and my main one's only just now ending.

I wouldn't call my lack of response disregard anymoreso than you'd accuse someone of withholding information after a mentally ill youth has impetuously run up and quacked at them, leaving them speechless. And Robo
was
NKd...and I was lynched. And RE:Meta - it points to me being more active when I'm active. At that time, I'd signed up for one game - when I entered this one, I'd signed up for six. Do the math regarding divided attention and whatnot.

Yes
- 1: Which of the following do you believe to be more closely tied to Vrtra, alignment-wise: Remy, Kleedrac, or Cove?

vrtra wrote:AKR seems like the best vote right now, because of his interactions/reactions with Robo and posting style.
@AKR - Do you think it's plausible for you and Robo to look like scum right now?

vrtra wrote:AKR is looking pretty bad to me right now. Mainly, he places a FoS on Robo for not voting beyond the RVS stage on page 4. A mafia would try to incite a lot of voting around so it would be easier for him to slip through the cracks and provide vague defense for votes hastily put on him. It is a good way to gauge how the town is. While this isn't a lot of necessarily verifiable and textbook material, it's my own experience from what I've seen / read.
Then, he overreacts to a point made by Robo asking him (AKR) and Cove to tone it down a little bit by saying "toning it down= not scumhunting" which isn't what he was saying at all.
@AKR - Do you know if anyone else on my wagon agrees with these sentiments?
AKnottedRope wrote:None of the above. If you happen to flip town, my suspicions would lie with a Vrtra-kindred scumteam.
Why Vrtra? Did you notice what I said about him not being scum this time around?
GroupThink wrote:Incessant lurking isn't a reason for a lynch; it's a reason for a replacement.
@AKR - Do you think we should lynch the rest of the playerlist simply because they're not posting right now?
