I got it! Jack has the post restriction, and it's to be as anti-town as possible and not do anything!
Seriously though, could you elaborate on the FoS?The Clown is Town. The Clown also uses "they" pronouns. Don't be a dick about it?
I know it's weird given the username, but "horrorperson" just doesn't have the same ring to it.-

There is. To get MD-theoryish for a second:DemonHybrid wrote:I didn't know there was a difference, voll, except for the subtleties.
A person who votes without reasoning and just on gut by definition can't be inconsistent. Since their positions have no ostensible rational basis, a sudden shift in direction can't be attacked (unless, for instance, it appears opportunistic). This is one of the many reasons why I detest gut play.
However, a player who gives reasons, like VI has been doing (even if they are abysmally crap) makes themselves more accountable. To demonstrate, consider the following scenario:
1) (at time = t) Player A: "I Vote: B for doing Q"
2) (at time = t+x) Player A: "I Vote: C for not doing Q"
If Player A is town, that means that at time = t he genuinely believed that Q was scummy. However, he contradicts that if, later on at time = t+x, he votes somebody for not doing anti-Q (which might be not doing Q, or doing the opposite of Q - depends on what Q is). Unless he has a reason for changing his mind on Q's scumminess, then there is a fundamental inconsistency.
Same thing here.
1) Vezok unvotes SS for not posting recently; and
2) Vezok votes Esp for not posting*
(* he made a "I will post soon" post, but it's tantamount to not posting and, in any event, Vezok has failed to respond to this and explain why that post had scummy content)
1) You're not what?Vezok wrote: I'm not.
You'll get my reads day 2.
So Looker looks like town to me. Anyone want to agree?
2) This is ridiculous. For starters, if you don't have reads YOU SHOULDN'T BE VOTING ANYBODY! Secondly, I cannot see what difference a D2 flip makes. Imagine Espy is lynched and flips town - what read does that give you? Imagine Espyt flips scum - what read?
3) Despite just having said you won't give reads until D2, you now tell us Looker looks town. Isn't that a read? And why the hell does Looker look town?
Vezok, replace out. You are seriously incapable of playing this game. I can tolerate inexperience, because people can improve, but you are going nowhere in terms of your play. This game requiers reasoning and analysis; you have neither. Leave.-

What I'm thinking...- It's plausible enough for me to call Espeonage town due to the way his wagon built up. It's not enough for me to confirm it, but at least enough for that to be my opinion.
- Horrordude, you're placing the likelihood of scum noticing the soft-claim dependent upon whether or not you noticed the soft-claim when the only way there'd be a correlation is if you're scum. It's also safe to say that I was in no danger of being lynched prior to me pointing out the soft-claim, which means I wouldn't have to sneak a message to anyone to do something that, if I were scum, I could've done myself. Also, if we protect him, scum will waste a kill. And yes, your logic very much makes sense.
- I called Zwet town to see if he would stop his attacks, in which case they would've been OMGUS as opposed to actual arguments. He stopped his attacks.
- I'm voting CKD for the reasons I previously voted him; I only voted Stef for pressure.
- Jack still hasn't explained his hunt for post restrictions.

Yeah, definitely. I look up what you're talking about tomorrow, though, since I'm very shot with band at the moment, and I have another one of these days tomorrow since it's the first home game.

Looker, I'm going to go through your post bit by bit here.
Wrong. I'm just saying that the likelyhood of ANYONE noticing it is extremely unlikely. I don't think anyone else had mentioned it or seen it before that.Looker wrote:Horrordude, you're placing the likelihood of scum noticing the soft-claim dependent upon whether or not you noticed the soft-claim when the only way there'd be a correlation is if you're scum.Btw, if I could get everyone to comment on this, that'd be great! Did you notice the alleged soft-claim before Looker pointed it out?
This one makes sense, and the only response I would have is that you know the tide can change at any moment, don't you? (Weak argument, I know, but it's a semi-valid point nonetheless)Looker wrote:It's also safe to say that I was in no danger of being lynched prior to me pointing out the soft-claim, which means I wouldn't have to sneak a message to anyone to do something that, if I were scum, I could've done myself.
Looker, you're placing the likelihood of him surviving the night on the fact that weAlso, if we protect him, scum will waste a kill. And yes, your logic very much makes sense.
1) Have a doctor or something similar.
2) Have a doctor that would also assume that is a breadcrumb and would assume scum would see it as well.
3) Have a doctor that would be willing to waste a protection on Snake rather than on someone that they may see more pro-town or valuable for one reason or another.
4) Have a doctor that wouldn't try to WIFOM the scum out.
So basically what you'd be counting on would be that we have a doctor that would also assume that the fact Snake capitalized the letter W in watch in a meaningless post to be a breadcrumb and would assume scum would see it and assume the same as well, the doctor would be willing to waste a protection on Snake rather than on someone that they may see more pro-town or valuable for one reason or another, and wouldn't try to WIFOM the scum out. That seems pretty presumptious, don't you think?
I'm Pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but what's your read on Zwet now?The Clown is Town. The Clown also uses "they" pronouns. Don't be a dick about it?

Sorry about the triple post, but unfortunately the meta brought me to see your playstyle as a nulltell because you've had it forever pretty much.

You shouldn't be going through giving reads of all players at any point. It simply tells scum how you find them compared to everyone else. If everyone starts posting what they think of all the players in the game it gives the scum an easy ride, so that would still be anti-town.
Here's what I think, you don't want to give honest to god reads of anyone or proper explanations as to anything now, and instead want to wait until the following day purely so you can get some help with it from your scum buddies as they can give you some better direction.
vote: Vezok
Sorry, but you're not the best player around, but when I have played against you, you've not been this poor with your day 1 posting (I hate meta generally, but you're not normally making ridiculous posts like the switch to Espy from SS).
As for what's happened recently, I still feel Espy is likely to be scum, SS going nutso on CKD initially read to me as scummy, but I feel less now (though I still feel off about that slot, if either of those two are scum, it's SS). Jack is still being more useless than Vezo (and that's saying something, sorry Vezo).
Right now I'd be happy with a Vezo lynch or an Espy lynch.-

Oh. I mean I don't give reads on all the players day 1.
I give reads on some players.
And explain the Espy/SS thing from way back that you totally ignored.
Fine. But that's no excuse for only selectively responding to certain points. I notice is this is about the first question you've actually answered.Vezok wrote: No. English is not my first language

This does not invalidated his reads or reasons

This does not invalidated his reasons on you. Just because he doesn't post much doesn't mean his reasons are invalid. Your point is a logical fallacy, which I am too lazy to get my ass of this chair and look up its name in my logic book. However, if you do nothing, you are still doing nothing independently from what other people are doing.

I don't see you as fishing actually, however I would like an explanation, some quotes plz Vozo...

That boarders on omgus as well as (sorta) this next post:
I don't like the tone of that above post. I want to let ESP post his post before I fully make up my mind on weather or not to vote for you. I have a little bit (lets say a big) gut-tell on you.

Ok, updating, and typing as I go, I am sorry if this turns into a wall of text, if it starts to look like I giant post, I will break them up.
Starting at the top of page 13.
I am not sure what post you are talking (“this post”)about 208 or 209. I assume you are talking about my vote on you. Yes you did vote for no reason. In your view, why does one of the neighbors “have to die” and why does it have to be the any particular pair?Looker wrote:
I already asked you the question earlier which one of you do you prefer we lynch, to which you replied with an OMGUS.curiouskarmadog wrote:@ Demon, and who ever else feels so inclined to answer (the more the merrier, would like opinions and stances on this question)..also interested in seeing who blatantly ignores this post.
What's the rationale behind this post? I don't see the scum motivation for stifling your claim. Also, I didn't vote for no reason; one of you neighbors has to die. We can hash out the night action for the survivor once we decide.
Is singersigner the neighbor you want to lynch?
Where is the reason in that post/vote….there isn’t…so don’t act there was with this post.Looker wrote:
UNVOTE: VOTE: curiouskarmadogcuriouskarmadog wrote:if you knew you would understand....my neighbor and I are vig-like..not vigs....I dont need to tell you if we are two shot, unlimited shot, etc...i dont need to tell you any other part of the mechanic, which is in the name...so no, it is not pro-town...so back the fuck off....if you think i am scummy for not telling you..vote me or move on.
at this point, you are looking scummy for role fishing...keep in mind, i didnt have to tell you jack.
Do you propose we lynch you or totallynotmafia?
And you are asking me if SS is the neighbor I want to lynch…at the time of this post, where the fuck was my vote?
how many people are in your mafia?Looker wrote:How can vollkan and curiouskarmadog both have "Best Mafia Performance"?
what were those reasons again? (edit: vollkan asks the same question later)vezokpiraka wrote:unvote P

You tried to force a lynch on CKD. By using false information.
I had to claim Day 1, you disagree, why or why not?CooLDoG wrote:@CKD: I know you have already said it many times... I just want you to answer it once more. Why the claim so early?
why is he scum? I thought SS was scum, and vollkan asked you a question, why did you ignore it?vezokpiraka wrote:Spam.

why the vote? I assume because you thought I was lurking?..did you check any of my other current games to see if that was true?Looker wrote:

You're accusing HD of tu quoque (The fallacy where: A makes criticism of X. A is also guilty of X.Therefore, X is not scummy)CD wrote:
This does not invalidated his reasons on you. Just because he doesn't post much doesn't mean his reasons are invalid. Your point is a logical fallacy, which I am too lazy to get my ass of this chair and look up its name in my logic book.

And what have YOU done lately?Vezok wrote: He is not doing anything here guys.
However, mafia is one situation where tu quoque is not actually as fallacious as it normally is. Let me explain why:
In order for a player to treat X as a scumtell, they have to, at the very least, think thatX is more likely to come from scum than town. Vezok attached HD for not posting content. That means that Vezok is implicitly saying "I think not posting content is more likely to come from scum than town". However, Vezok himself is not posting content. Which means, in order for Vezok to be logically consistent (and thus be reasoning validly), one of the following must be the case:
a) Vezok is scum (eg. it is consistent for scum-Vezok to see something as scummy if he is doing it);
b) Vezok has a special reason as to why it is not scummy for Vezok individually (eg. a meta point that Vezok tends posts no content as town/no matter what his alignment); or
c) Vezok has a special reason as to why it is scummy for HD individually (eg. a meta point that HD tends to post no content as scum).
Vezok seems more newb than scum, so we can't treat a) as true. And I find it very hard to believe that Vezok even knows how to meta, let alone actually has something that could satisfy b) and c).
(Note: b) is actually probably true, which is Vezok's uselessness isn't a scumtell - however, in terms of analysing the validity ofhis own reasonsit is irrelevant, because Vezok hasn't actually appealed to his own incompetence)
First, a Community Service Announcement. Please see this recent MD post by me which explains why there is no such thing as OMGUS.CD wrote:
That boarders on omgus as well as (sorta) this next post:HD wrote: I'm gonna see if I can look at your meta really quickly before I decide if you're a VI or not, though.
Second, how on earth does it border on "OMGUS"? He isn't attacking Vezok - he is saying that he wants to investigate Vezok's meta before deciding if he is a VI or not. Isn't that exactly what a townie should do in this situation?
And for using a boiler-plate scumtell without basis (not that there is ever a 'basis' for accusing someone of "OMGUS" ) :CD+1
I don't like the pixellation of your avatar.CD wrote: I don't like the tone of that above post.
Since at this stage, tone seems as relevant to HD's alignment as avatar pixellation seems to yours, why is his tone relevant?-
