Newbie 973: (Day 4)

[Equinox]

While that is a possibility, I was asking brej if he was scum with you or ant. I was not implying you two (equi and ant) to be scum together though. To be honest, the thought didn't cross my mind until you mentioned it.

Ah, I misread your post. Still, I agree it's possible that scum would try to distance in RVS... except it wouldn't be that much of a significant action, since it

is

a random vote. My jumping on chihuahua0 might be better classified as distancing (or even bussing, since I'm formally accusing him), if indeed I am scum.

Since I'm using a lot of jargon, I'm going to provide a few definitions.

Distancing: Scum will try to argue with each other or accuse each other to sever any links other players may see between them.

Bussing: Scum may even throw their partner under a proverbial bus by lynching them or pushing for their lynch.

[My Milked Eek]

My question is rather moot and stupid to ask now...

You know I've never had a twinkie, do they sell them only in the States?

Your first post. No vote.

It's not my fault i can't find you anywhere comrade

Your second post. No vote. (OK, I miscounted >_> happens to the best of us)

Vote: My Milked Eek I do not like your anime/manga style picture comrade, I deem such caricatures as a submission to Japanese cartoons and as a sign that the Japanese are taking over the cartoon industry while already controlling car and electronics industries and even though I have nothing against these people I see this spread of loathsome cartoons as a disease which must be treated with a good dose of voting medicine (you have just wasted a few seconds of your life reading this and I a few minutes, but thanks for reading it anyway )

Your third post. A vote.

Now that I realize that I miscounted your posts, my one post looks even more like an asshat'd one.

[Equinox]

No. I'm just zooming in at a certain person and see if he/she says something that suggest that he/she's Mafia.

While pressuring someone is a good way to test their reactions and see if they are mafia, it's a bad idea to actually say you're pressuring them -- you have to pretend it's the real thing. I realize you had to respond to My Milked Eek's question, though, so you probably didn't have any other way to say you didn't actually suspect me. (Or do you?)

Going further into hypothetical town:
If you were scum, you'd be jumping on a wagon on an overeager newbtown. It isn't uncommon for mafiate to vote their partner in the rvs as it is one of the only places they can place a vote without getting too much negative feedback. /hypo

Why are you voting chihuahua exactly?

[Equinox]

Why are you voting chihuahua exactly?

For his jump to your vote on Ant_to_the_max and the accompanying "I agree with your vote." Sounds like scum buddying up to a town(?) player to me.

[chihuahua0]

I have to go now.

[My Milked Eek]

Anything wrong with wagoning?

[Brejnev]

Sooooo would anyone who knows care to answer my first question which was basically, where are twinkies sold?

[Brejnev]

Oh and also, what is wagoning, when you team up with some players and pressure someone?

[Equinox]

Anything wrong with wagoning?

No. Early wagons are good. I didn't like the "I agree with your vote" part, though, so I decided to question chihuahua0 about it.

Wagoning is "forming a bandwagon".
Which is basically putting a few votes on a person in order to gauge reactions from the people on and off the wagon. There's a fine distinction between protown wagoning and scummy wagoning. And it can sometimes be hard to see the difference, but at other times it can be detected from miles away. In other words: use your own judgment whether a certain person wagoning is scummy or protown.

I think I

could

provide you with an example of each, but I'd need to reread old games and I'm lazy so yeah....

[Brejnev]

Nah you don't have to, I'll learn while playing, and thanks for the google search lol.

[Twinkie]

Only had a chance to skim through the thread, but I am very comfortable with keeping my vote on Brejnev. With all the posts he has been making, very few of them are game relevant.

[Brejnev]

Wow, I was waiting for someone to accuse me of that lol, so glad you noticed.

[chihuahua0]

Hey, Twinkie. You're right.

Wagon him!

*leaves again*

[13emily14]

Hey everyone, sorry I'm late. My internet's being a jerk.
Anyways, I just went through and read the whole thread. So far, no one seems particularly scummy to me at this point. Most of the accusations and questioning I've seen so far have been pretty minor and the answers have been decent.
I'll still post a couple of my reactions to some things though.

This is true. It doesn't seem like a big deal just yet, but then Brejnev didn't try to explain himself or anything after this. He just said he was waiting for someone to accuse him of this.

VOTE: Ant_to_the_max

I agree with your vote. Let's pressure him!

I don't like this though. No real reason, and he just jumped on right after My Milked Eek random voted him Ant... See below...

Ah Ha!

FOS: Equinox

People who buddy up are considered scum. You've been warned.

This confused me. Equinox voted Chihuahua because he had jumped to a vote against Ant after right after MME, and with no real reason. Wouldn't that make Chihuahua the one buddying up?? I fail to see what Chihuahua's line of thinking was when he posted this. Can you explain?

Anyways, that's all I have so far. Nothing huge just yet. But I'll vote anyway.

VOTE: Chihuahua0

The few suspicions I have are on this guy. First voting without a reason and seemingly buddying up to MME, and then accusing someone else of doing what he was doing.


@Brejnev: Wow you've really never had a twinkie?

[Ant_to_the_max]

Do you have an issue with this evolution?

Actually yes I do. My last game was horrible. We had our first lynch 3 pages in. I seemed to draw attention to myself so not only did the cop use his night action on me, but the mafia also decided it would be in the best interest to kill me that night The game ended up with a perfect Mafia win. So anything resembling a repeat would be very upsetting for me.

And my avatar is a Pokémon, not a cartoon character.

Quite a mighty contradiction

Not to go too far off-topic, but Pokémon are first and mostly video game characters, I care little for the anime series.

But the anime came first...


Two lies right off the bat? Hmmmm

[Brejnev]

so why haven't you voted yet Ant?

[Morthas]

Heeey guys, sorry for not being here for the 1st 3 pages which might be because of me just waking up,

I am sorry for not being able to provide content which is due to my massive headache, i read through but really have nothing yet ill reread in the evening which is when i hope my headache leaves

[Brejnev]

As to my going randomly off topic it's just because I like to mess with people and avoid being a slave to all this confusion the game is generating. The reason why it's so confusing (to me at least) is that for every reason you can find why to accuse somebody you can also find just as strong a reason why not to accuse him. With me for example you could accuse me of being scum for going off topic and drawing a lot of attention to myself but you can also choose not to accuse me because of my above explanation. However if for example I was mafia, to what extent might my going off topic be beneficial to my cause. My presumption is because by doing this I ascertain myself as an overly-relaxed townie amidst an atmosphere of paranoia and this I guess makes you suspect me. Aaaaanyway whether you think I have given a valid (and understandable) explanation is up to you, as is whether you think I am scum or not. AND NO I'VE NEVER HAD A TWINKIE SOMETHING FOR WHICH I AM VERY ASHAMED!!!

[Brejnev]

Oh great, now we have 3 anime style profile pictures, guess I'll have to flip a coin to see who I should vote for.

[ZazieR]

VOTE: Brejnev

*<< Starts rolling on her plate*

[My Milked Eek]

Two lies right off the bat? Hmmmm

lol, are you going to continue this superfluous posting or are you going to comment on the game?

And zaz joins us. Any ideas or opinions?

[ZazieR]

Just read the game, so they are coming up
