If you want to further research, the DC site should have their own style of a wikipedia within it, as well Wikipedia in general has a lot of decent info too.SensFan wrote:Not 100% sure that my role necessarily fits the emotion you gave for my colour, but thanks.
Because as of this post you are still going on about it (even in things not directed to me). Hence "time to sing a new tune".Andrius wrote:1) I'm not complaining.
2) If it is old, why are you voting me? HRMMM
Did you happen to miss that I was answering Sens' question? I'm not just posting meaningless crap.Andrius wrote:I agree with Kublai Khan. Starbuck needs to stop posting non-scum hunting crap. We all need someone who knows flavor (I sure as hell don't), but we don't need more of what she's doing.

I've just taken quite a few months off from mafia, and I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.Plum wrote:Starbuck - I played with her before. As a Neutral party she basically fluffposted the entire 100+page game, from what I recall. That she's doing it again here doesn't particularly surprise me. Someone who knows her meta better than I do can tell me if she does that as Town as well.
Honestly me either, but I've fallen out of Mafiascum games and the thoroughness of posting in them for a long while and was hoping people would understand that. Guess that's too much to ask for.Toogeloo wrote:I really don't like Starbuck's "at least I'm posting," comment, especially considering she was called out for fluff posting, and then she posted more fluff with that tidbit at the end.
You are really pushing this hard, my friend.Toogeloo wrote:Starbuck reminds me of a bastion of town information regarding the game itself, but kind of disappears outside of that. When called out on the fluffiness of her posting, she posts another fluffy post about her life, the blackest night universe, and everything else... like she is making a next volume to the Hitchhiker's Guide. Then she simply taglines it, "At least I'm posting." I don't suppose you want to get on her case since that's just a statement as, "Unlike Vi...," difference being is that is all she is doing... it's like just enough to stay off the radar activity wise, but not really sticking her nose into anything.

How do you know this?Jack wrote:There is a cult, but it's no concern to the town.
I completely agree with this for the reason that a lot of scum tend to just grab onto someone's coattails and go for the ride on a bandwagon without adding something unique to the equation.Tanstalas wrote:I don't like voting people based on just what others say even if I agree with them, if a lot of people tend to think someone is scum I will look at them and try to find something else that looks scummy. Anyone that has played with me where I was town knows I do this. If you do not believe me go meta some games of me where I was town and you will see that I usually at least contribute something unique before hopping on a wagon.

What was the point of this statement?Toogeloo wrote:There are a couple people on both leading lynches I don't really care for.
Vi wasn't keeping anything from you.Toogeloo wrote:I may throw my vote down on Star, but I would like to clear the air surrounding the matter before I commit. Reck states that he knows Star is town, and Vi apparently caught on as to why. Is there any reason to keep this from the rest of us? I don't care if Reck says it or Vi says it, but Star's lynch is a very good possibility, and if information pertaining to the lynch is helpful in stirring in the right direction, it should be brought to the attention of everyone and not just a select few who have the possibility of coming back tomorrow with something like, "I told you she was town."

I don't know how often I've played with you (AGar), but I think I'm more disappointed with Zito about this statement.The Stove wrote:Zito and I are still (as of our last discussions) in agreement of the Starbuck needs to die movement, and I'm not keen on just buying into what Reck's selling.
I think that you don't know how to take a joke when you see one. I also think that YOU could use some lessons in reading comprehension, since you so boldly said that Katsuki was in need of them.tanstalas wrote:So Fate, what do you think of Katsuki saying that you, she and Reck colluded to submit the same colors?

Thank you.xRECKONERx wrote:Actually, since I kinda know Starbuck outside of the site, I can honestly say she hasn't been online much at all...and when she has been online, mafia has been taking a backseat.
I love your use of one game that you played in with me as a basis for your opinion.MoI wrote:I looked that the argument. I don’t find it outweighs
1. The Starbuck provided information that she prefers Scum roles.
2. Starbuck’s play in Stardust Mafia as a Serial Killer where she pretty much tried to lurk out pressure on her and completely avoided scum-hunting while repeated posting about how she was too busy to post. I’m not convinced that her scum play would be much different in a multi-scum Large game environment.

I agree she is scum though.
Reverse the question. How am I scum?Andrius wrote:HOW IS STARBUCK TOWN.
Look at the quote below that I have from Vi, and you'll understand.Andrius wrote:How do you mean Vi gets Starbuck? I'm confused as to how she can't be scum.
It was already addressed in the first 9 pages of the game. If you iso me, and go to wherever it is in the thread you'll see it.Starbuck wrote:The mods didn't specifically state (as far as I read) in the sign up thread as to which colors would be town and which wouldn't be.
If you know the flavor of Blackest Night and the Green Lantern series, you already know this information. If not, I posted it more than one and even linked the Blackest Night Wiki for people to read in the sign up thread.
This is absolutely uncalled for. As I said above, I had already addressed it. Way to be a jerk, Andrius.Andrius wrote:But what does it mean besides that Starbuck is dumb?

If you know the flavor of Blackest Night and the Green Lantern series, you already know this information.knowswhich colors relate to scum, in spite of not being told as much...Perusing Wikipedia, this is accurate - as long as they aren't attacking each other, the rainbow corps do have a common target in the Black group.Starbuck 210 wrote:In Blackest Night, the bad guys are the Black Lantern Corps. Yellow and Red kinda of war with each other throughout different eras.
As scum, she would know this information is not applicable to this game, and it would be really obvious given that her entire scumteam would be the same color.

Thank you for noticing that.Kast wrote:Starbuck Lots of flavor info without much content in early game. This is null for Starbuck (if Starbuck likes the subject, he's going to give lots of flavor info regardless of affil). Catchup posts were helpful. Neutral affil read.
The recruiting still should occur, as I should have notification. Since I have no notification, that proves to me that Kats is scum especially because if you read the flavor, Reck was on his way to recruit her when he was killed.Kast wrote:@Starbuck-
Please confirm this with mod: If Reck targets a non-scum to recruit but Reck gets killed on the same night, would the recruiting still happen? I assume that's a yes
From Wikipedia -Kast wrote:-I am suspicious of the Tomar Re claim. Tomar Re is DEAD in the Blackest Night storyline. He gets reanimated as a Black Lantern and fights the good guys. Starbuck, please confirm.

It’s entirely possible that Reck was blocked by a Yellow action and killed by a Red action. There’s enough muddle in the circumstance that I think NoPoint is an overall better choice.

Luckily I don't care what people think. Sometimes what needs to be said just needs to be said, regardless of sentiments.
As a mod, if you would not have done the same if you thought someone else was cheating, then you have no backbone.
I don't think you were out of control at all.xRECKONERx wrote:Regarding the setup: the only balancing issue that bothered me is that we had no notion of there being a cult into far too late in the game. Dana & RC kept saying, "Well town should have been cult-hunting!"... which is easy to do... if we had more than 2-3 days to actually look for the cult. Not knowing about it is where the main balance problem lied. Black recruiter being bulletproof is pretty OP, then take into account it's a bulletproof recruited mixed in with three other scum factions, and town really didn't have a shot.
By the way, I just want to point out that I called all of red scum plus tans-SK on D1.
Just gonna warn you guys, I got a bit out of control in the dead QT, but what can I say? It really gets under my skin when someone assault my integrity, insults my boyfriend, and essentially tells an entire group of people that he has "proof" of my dishonesty, when in fact, he has none.
Dram & I never cheated, and for anyone who thinks we did, I'd suggest reading my points in the QT.
@Reaper: Yeah, but after you made such wild accusations, and were proven that your facts/basis for thinking that was false, you should've fucking admitted you were wrong and made a public apology. But instead, you continue to stand by what you said because of some sense of mistaken pride. I expected better.
Definitely agree.Kdub wrote:I think a lot of the issues people are having with the game could have been remedied by a simple solution: this game really needed to be advertised as a bastard mod game (and not just because of the cult).
