You have no active abilities but your vote, which you are advised to use wisely.
You win when all threats to the town are dead.
Game is here.
I assumed the point of the RVS was to randomly vote until that point when someone started to act scummy.Internet Stranger wrote:Isnt the whole idea of RVS is to see who decides to stand out first and thus face the wrath of everyone else? Looks like Occult wants the OddballScum title.
Unvote: Jeromus
Vote: Occult
So if I read you correctly, breaking RVS is good for town but the one who does this is typically scum?Yes indeed. I like also enjoy breaking RVS as quickly as possible, as the scum routinely act the fool in RVS in order to establish themselves as active when it least counts. So the first one that breaks the norm in RVS is typically scum.
As I said earlier, I don't like the fact that we don't have a full roster of confirmed players, so in my mind, we are playing a partial game a mafia, hence you only get a partial vote. Thats not to say that I would've randomly voted anyway, but there is your "symbolism".darkdude wrote:
Occult, what did you mean by symbolic?
Now, yes while its true that the RVS doesn't just automatically lead to a lynch, its just plain useless. I'm not "threatened by them" I really don't like the fact that it is expected to random vote. Yes, it is our most powerful tool, but doing it randomly does not help, does it? You randomly voted for McGriddle, what did you learn from that vote? Nothing. My non-vote has started an actual conversation, I now have responses from IS, darkdude and yourself. I would say I have actually contributed to the game where as you just jumped up, pointed at me and voted for me for saying a prefer to carefully look at the evidence rather then put up some sorta random absurdness? That's just absurd, I'm not going throw my vote around for no reason, especially if not everyone has posted. Would you find it anti-town if someone jumped onto a bandwagon without reasoning?Elsa von Spielburg wrote:Really, Occult (and others), how often does the RVS lead to legitimate votes and bandwagons that end in the Day 1 lynch? I've read a few games around this site so far (and from my experience in mafia in general) and from what I can tell, very rarely does the first few sets of votes actually go through. To see them as legitimate threats seems a little silly and paranoid; I find it had to believe that anyone should be so threatened by the first stages of the game that they will not vote.
"I just don't like to vote without an actual tangible, quotable reason to put my vote down."
Yeah, but isn't the vote the most powerful tool the town has in both voting off mafia and discerning information about the players?
Unvote; Vote: Occult
