What about Budja seems contrived and forced?
What is different about how you're seeing Hiplop?

Well, I give up. I'm keeping my vote on whoever other than Balter or Beck has the most votes at the time. If no one else is going to try, then I'm not either.

hiplop · Post Post #379 (ISO) » Mon Jul 18, 2011 3:30 pm

wow. No need to be pretentious, we're playing a

game

, the goal is to have fun, not to boost some sort of internet ego you have going on. Who isn't trying?

Beck · Post Post #380 (ISO) » Mon Jul 18, 2011 3:44 pm

I still don't see how hip has done anything to make himself looking better, and I am not sure if the unvote was sincere or just to get me off your back, i'm holding firm.

I feel very positive with a hip lynch

I don't know what else I can do, clearly trying to force feed it didn't work so i'll just leave it out there. If anyone can explain why hip isn't a good lynch option, i'm all for it but quite frankly I haven't seen anything.

charter · Post Post #381 (ISO) » Mon Jul 18, 2011 3:53 pm

I'm not going to call people out, but I feel as if I'm wasting my time playing in this game, which is quite frustrating. I doubt I'm the only one who feels that way either, and it isn't fun for myself/anyone else who feels that way.

this is really funny coming from you Phoebus

Phoebus, you do realize that you have now 15 posts and probably only 4 with ACTUAL content and the rest is essentially worthless?

i'm just sayin....

Beck · Post Post #385 (ISO) » Mon Jul 18, 2011 10:52 pm

alternatively, if the hip wagon fails to get going soon, I will gladly support a Budja wagon, sheeping and following others is avoiding to make reads of his own, it definitly looks like he was following Balter around.

I feel the same. It's unfortunate Juls is out of town on business because she was playing too. Honestly, we probably just need a lynch at this point because we have too much dead weight to get any good information out of discussion. We need to lynch someone and start analyzing the wagon or at least using that as a catalyst to talk more.

12th Vote Count of Day 1:

Not voting (Psyche, Hiplop)

With 9 alive it's 5 to lynch.

Day One will end no later than Monday July 25th at 6:30PM CST

Beck · Post Post #388 (ISO) » Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:08 am

lol thanks for the vote count, I had no idea the hip wagon fell apart already.

Zachrulez · Post Post #389 (ISO) » Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:11 am

Psyche replaces Panacea effective immediately.

Please welcome him to the game.

VP Baltar · Post Post #390 (ISO) » Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:12 am

Hi Psyche!

Beck · Post Post #391 (ISO) » Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:17 am

Welcome

Psyche · Post Post #392 (ISO) » Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:22 am

Hey, everyone. I appreciate your relatively brief posting styles. Will make reading the thread easy.

I'm going to be trying some unorthodox scumhunting techniques this game. Nothing particularly abstruse, just some statistical analysis or whatever. ^^ I'm just bored of arguing about contradictions and inconsistencies and gut feeling, though I'll still be doing that, to a small degree.

But yeah, I'll read the thread and come back with whatever I find and make a tentative vote, probably.

hiplop · Post Post #393 (ISO) » Tue Jul 19, 2011 3:55 am

thats good.

Psyche · Post Post #394 (ISO) » Tue Jul 19, 2011 3:59 am

Weird. If I weren't replacing Panacea, I might have voted for her. Makes me really rethink what I look for in scum.

Anyways, I have loads of time! Now to see what amazing little secrets of mafia I can find through quantitative analysis...

And first, the activity overview!

Username // Post Count // % of all posts
Beck // 113 // 28.75
VP Baltar //56 // 14.25
hiplop // 52 // 13.23
Juls // 42 // 10.69
charter // 29 // 7.38
Panacea (25) + Psyche (2) // 27 // 6.87
pappums rat // 25 // 6.36
Phoebus // 15 // 3.82
Budja // 14 // 3.06

As we can see, Beck has posted more than the 2nd and 3rd most prolific posters' posts combined, and takes up about 28.75% of the entire game, more than a quarter of it. Three players have <half of that, and three more >half of that, and two more >half of that.

In an ideal game, every player would be making 11% of the game's posts (unachieved by 66% of players and not even nearly by 55% of players), and have posted about 43.6 times by now. Clearly, many players aren't doing their fair share and should be pressured to contribute.

Budja's the worst at it, and his content's been superficial at best.

vote Budja

Beck is genuine. Still, I can feel the bias against him coursing through my veins. His username reminding me of that idiot on TV, his snarkiness, his questioning...it makes my blood boil. But he's town, so we're cool. Unless he isn't. Eh.

Hiplop's a little lazy, but seems okay.

Now to find something else to do.

charter · Post Post #395 (ISO) » Tue Jul 19, 2011 10:46 am

Wow. Now I really want to lynch Psyche. Psyche, you have anything else to say about the game? (welcome!)

My only reservation is you give me the impression you're going to play, which at this point counts for quite a bit.

Beck · Post Post #396 (ISO) » Tue Jul 19, 2011 11:15 am

Given Pan's play before the jump on budja is bad, but budja's play has been equally bad

I think out of the 2, budja is an acceptable lynch IMO.

He has done nothing but sheep and regurgitate others opinions

Plus it honestly seems like he read all 15 pages and is making an effort which is more than I can say for budja.

VP Baltar · Post Post #397 (ISO) » Tue Jul 19, 2011 11:18 am

Basic math = putting in effort?

Psyche, why do you label Beck as genuine?

Why does hiplop "seem ok"?

It's more effort than hip has done all game

charter · Post Post #399 (ISO) » Tue Jul 19, 2011 11:25 am

I agree with you Beck, but I thought his post was quite suspicious, basically a big report on posting frequency. I feel like 'Budja has posted the least' isn't that great of reason to vote him.
And anytime someone replaces in and says "wow, I thought my slot was scum" always makes me think, "I wonder why.. probably are scum". More than once, I've replaced in to a game, and before reading my role, I read the game and make my notes. I read my role, and I had the person I'm replacing down as scum, and they're scum...
