Ah, RVS discussion. *falls asleep*
Anyway, my 'stifling discussion' post spawned more discussion than anything so far, so I'm calling it a success. The scummiest players so far are ThAdmiral and Cyberbob. They come in, vote un-randomly, and disappear. Don't like.
Olinea and chamber have to stop the posting diarrhea. A long and confusing game helps scum. Don't post unless you have something to say. Always have something to say.I'll explain it to you. You have to get someone else to understand it for you.-

I'm starting to develop a ping on my scumdar in Oritz's direction. I feel like the vote on him was more serious than it should have been, and the reasons he gave were almost exactly the same as chamber's reasons. To me, the self-vote comes off as a "Hey, guys, this is still a joke! I'ma vote myself just like Umbrage did so you guys know that....! *looks around nervously*"
However, el simo's vote justhappenedto "randomly" fall on a developing bandwagon. Interesting, no?-

The Umbrage vote was RVS. I don't even get what you're saying about the self vote. I self voted for lulz. (Also RVS) You are trying way too hard to make something out of nothing. That's equivalent to you taking a random RVS vote and calling me scum for it.-

Yup my vote was unrelated to the previous two. Why is this interesting? What are your thoughts on bandwagons that makes this such an interesting occurrence?sorasgoof wrote:However, el simo's vote justhappenedto "randomly" fall on a developing bandwagon.

Hey, buddy. I'm not trying that hard at all. Looks like you're trying pretty hard to make it look like I'm trying my heart out to paint you as scum. Point is, to me, it didn't feel like your vote was an RVS vote. It felt like a real vote with secondhand reasons. If I were really trying hard, I'd have voted. That's why I said it was a "ping."

As for you, el simo, you said you were randomly voting. It's interesting how your "RANDOM" vote happened to follow the bandwagon. To me, it looks like you're trying to jump on the largest bandwagon and further it without too much (read: any) reasoning. How can you even say it was unrelated? It's interesting because it's too much of a coincidence.-

My vote on Umbrage was pretty obviously an RVS vote if you look at the context of it. I used crappy reasoning to try and start a bandwagon, and then unvoted in my next post. (<-- This should pretty much confirm the fact that it was RVS.) If it was even a remotely serious vote, I wouldn't have unvoted without provocation. You're still saying, "I have a ping for ortiz on my scumdar because of his RVS vote that I don't think was RVS."sorasgoof wrote:

Note: It was RVS.
I agree with not liking el simo's vote. But it was RVS so I'll lean toward it being a nulltell. Personally I jump on RVS wagons regardless of alignment. As town to move the game along, and as scum for the same reason.-

I don't give a rat's arse whether they're the funniest jokes in the world. I consider self-voting to be against one's win condition and contrary to the spirit of the game no matter the context. I chose ortiz over Umbrage because I dislike numbers in usernames.Olinea wrote:Cyberbob picks out Umbrage and ortiz's self-votes. Both were obvious jokes but Umbrage started it. Cyberbob decides he's gonna vote ortiz anyways, because when you want to stifle that kind of behavior you vote for the person who followed it rather than started it, right?tread softly because you tread on my dreams

Fair enough. That's using somewhat RVS justification for a vote which wasn't RVS, but alright.Cyberbob wrote:
