Answers to the other guy's questions...

1) Are you having fun yet?
A little, yes
2) Chocolate or vanilla?
Definitely chocolate
3) How many Mafia games have you played (here or elsewhere)?
Too many to count
4) Lynch all Liars?
Yep. I pretty much apply this line of thinking to my real life too.
5) Math or Sports?
Maths is far more fun.
6) Lynch all Lurkers?
Nope. Posting frequency bears no relevance to a person's alignment.
7) What do you think of the RVS?
I'm completely indifferent to it.

To those of you who are asking the questions...have you gained any information of note regarding people's behaviour or alignment so far? Not that I think you necessarily should have done, just asking. Nothing wrong with icebreakers to get the game moving.

Well, the reason for that non-committal answer was to keep in line with my
other
non-committal answer [5) Frequently.].

@Maxous: Just because I don't like something doesn't mean I avoid doing it. I do tend to eat my vegetables.

@Trendall: Nope, nothing yet.

Hmm it's hard to get suspicions from questions.
I was surprised JediKnight only answered the questions and did'nt really question or ask anything else. There was a bit of material there.
I got nothing better to go on....
Vote lynch:JediKnight

@Maxous

First you remark that JediKnight didn't question or ask anything else after he answered the questions and say you have nothing better to go on then vote him. Next you say it was a random vote?

How can it be random if you are voting him because of his non-initiative? Also, why not vote Nobody Special, who you expressed suspicion of earlier?

Okay, I don't literally mean random but I don't seriously think he is mafia based on it, it's just if I had to pick out someone so far that would be my guess. So I said random as it's more a light-hearted accusation because I wanted to get the game moving somehow with a vote.
In short I voted for the sake of voting to help along the game and that was the best reason I had at the time.

As for NS - if I vote every time I have a slight suspicion on somebody for something they say I will end up with a countless amount of votes :p

K, you said something that you didn't believe. Why would a town player do that? Only scum has to appease the town. Also, your vote on JediKnight is based on a slight suspicion. By your logic in this post, you shouldn't have voted him either.

Well, not really. It was just a good way to get the day into better discussion, instead of just wasting our time with the RVS.
Maxous wrote:NS also stated his dislike for random voting...and then randomly voted :I
This is very strange indeed. His distaste of the RVS was put into his auto post and the next post he made was a random vote. This means he is not in line with his usual play which means he is a different role. Scummy, scummy, scummy.

Let's give him some more pressure guys.

@Con

Ironically, the better discussion is stemming not from the relatively useless RQS questions but from the votes people have made.

Howdy friends and neighbors.

I'm not the only one that just answered the questions Maxous. I was only the most current. This does seem a bit like you were trying to get a bandwagon going but don't want to appear too scummy with it. That's suspect to me.

I answered the questions cause it seemed like a good place to start. Now I question your attempt at bandwagoning but then saying its random. You can't have it both ways.
And I'm spent...

I explained I voted with the main intention of moving the game along. Which has worked I guess.

@Trendall: Have you learned anything from these random questions?

Max' post 28 doesn't make much sense, but to me it just looks like newbie town trying to vote someone for the sake of doing something.
@Max, could you tell me your role in your past games and the result of the game? No links needed.

I don't like NS going against RVS before voting randomly. I agree with Max and Con.
Also, I really don't like bacon's "Maybe" answer to wether he answered the questions seriously or not.
Hm, I'll wait for Max and then decide what to go with.

Okay, this is causing unneccesary confusion.
My thought process for post #28 was -
The random questions that everyone was answering was going nowhere.(Apart from Conspiracy's accusation)
So I might as well place one of these random votes to try and help the game along and get reactions from people to generate game conversation. So I looked at page 1 and saw that JediKnight only answered the random questions and did'nt really attempt to ask other questions or comment on anything said, even though there were a couple of comments made. The other 2 people are playing the game for the first time so that was to be expected.
So I guessed that maybe JediKnight was waiting for others to take the lead and just follow along. As I said, that was the best lead I could think of for somebody to be mafia.
*But* I am not seriously accusing him as mafia because that is a very weak reason to have a proper case on someone. So I added that 'random' part to show that it was not a serious case/accusation against him. I was more looking to see what he would say in reaction. And I certainly was'nt campaigning for him to be lynched at this stage.

That turned out long..but hopefully that will avoid any further misunderstandings about that post =)
And I'm confused as to how it was I attempted to appease the town.

Random doesn't mean weak, you know. Which is why I hate the name RVS. Uninformed voting, sure. But the votes shouldn't be random in the actual sense of the word.

Maxous, do you think that JediKnight's passivity is scummier than Nobody Special saying he doesn't like RVS then random voting?

I was just having fun with my answer of maybe, this really is my first mafia game and I really do like burgers, and live in the central time zone. Due to my lack of experience there wasn't much to seriously consider about the questions.

So max and nobody both contradicted themselves. I would suspect nobody more because max is less experienced and doesn't know what he's doing as much as nobody.

So, since there is hardly any discussion coming up:

@ bacon: Do you think Akira's anger in post #39 is fake?
@ Nobody special: Let's say a day vig would vig scum jediknight, who would be his scumpartner?
@ jediknight: Why aren't you voting for Maxous, despite the good reason to vote for him?
@ Maxous: Which strategy wil you use this time to win as scum?
@ LordChronos: If you were a one shot vig who has to use his kill right now, who would you kill?
@ wredfar: Although Nobody special is scum, do you think he is doing his IC task without taking into account his alignment?
@ Trendall: Can we make an agreement to start up a bandwagon on LordChronos?
@ Akira: Why aren't you voting for me?

I demand answers of at least 10 words. If somebody doesn't respond as demanded a policy lynch will occur.
If somebody has tools to fix my scumdar, pm me.

It'd be simpler just to ask me who I think is scum right now. To answer the question, I wouldn't be willing to vig anyone right now, even if it meant not getting to use my kill at all. There is no supremely anti-town player to off and no one I find scummy enough to kill.

Why do you want to bandwagon me?

And it's awfully pretentious of you to declare that the town will policy lynch someone who uses less than 10 words to answer.

@Conspiracy: Because I have no reason to. You haven't done anything scummy.
But if you insist... VOTE: ConSpiracy :P

---

Now forget that, I need to choose between Max, bacon and NS.
bacon gave me town vibes in his last post, I don't find his answer scummy anymore. I'm still waiting for Max.

@Max: Since you're not helping, UNVOTE: VOTE: Max I'd like those roles and results along with a good reason for that blunt reply in your last post.

At the time you asked the question I would of said yes. However NS' latest comment sure did'nt ease concerns about him...at all.

I played one game on this site, I was on the mafia team and we won.
Unless you are asking about the games not on this site? If that was the case, then I misunderstood the question.
Just in case,I played doctor(won), Vig(won),Cop(lost),Yakuza(lost),Roleblocker(won)...that's all I can think of.

@Conspiracy: I am not mafia...now extending my answer to be 10 words long
