So many promises. None of them kept. Thus ends one of the most useless pages in mafia history. Although TrustGossip did come back to say he wasn't available.

Alright, here is my random collection of analysis, in an attempt to get back in.
UNVOTE

remussaidow wrote:lynch -3 is a little far to push someone in the random voting stage.

Aceiks, how many games have you played, and how many are you in currently?

at this site and others.
Arguably, the first real post that was made.
Now, a few thoughts here:

There's nothing wrong with L-3 in random voting, because that's what it is, random voting. Any scum hammering, or lynching would be VERY obvious, and no townsfolk would (well, hopefully) even consider lynching someone while in the random stage.

Are we getting a little jumpy, or does our logic just disagree?
Aceiks wrote: Although I'm not sure I agree with your statement that L-3 is dangerous. With 4 scum (+- 1 I believe) if we see 3 bandwagon votes on Trust in the next two hours then that kind of gives us most of the information we need.
If random voting never puts anyone "in danger" then what reason is there for scum to ever open their mouths.
I agree with what this guy said.
Teffc wrote:but i'm keeping an eye on Ace because i do not like ppl that post theoretical stuff. It gets me wondering about his trying to be too pro-town
Posting theoretical stuff is scummy? I'm sorry, what!?
Trying to be too protown? I've never like too protown as a scum tell, since doesn't every townsfolk try and be as protown as possible (ie, hunting scums).

Theoretical stuff is often useful as a way of determining possiblities; although it's not as useful as analysis, it's still useful, and NOT a scumtell.
YogurtBandit wrote:Remus, you are at -2 Lynch, Claim.
Okay, I think this is a bit far.

The bandwagon forming is on page 4 or 5, and this is far too early to think about claiming, or such and such. I mean, I thought this was a reaction provoking bandwagon when I joined, since to be honest, observations about random voting does not a scum tell make, so I wouldn't be prepared to go through the whole lynching proceedure with Remus.

i kept wondering why he posted this part...because as long as we have mafia among us they'll know what you're thinking. unless you are linked to them and telling them not to vote in a very subtle way
Okay, let's go through this again.
When there are mafia in the game, they know what the town or Ace thinks? WHAT?

And how is this a subtle message to scum buddies? If the buddies need to be told this basic mafia stuff, then god help Ace if he is scum.

He was talking about how obvious mafia would be on a speedlynch, so I do not understand your comments at ALL.

FoS: Teffc

Aceiks wrote:Well, if the mafia need me to tell them that a 3 person bandwagon on Page 3 of Day 1 is a bad idea then they aren't very smart and us townspeople should have an easy game.
Why do I always end up repeating this guy?
remussaidow wrote:I will not claim for lynch minus-2 on page 4, where I was asked too. Period. Its a bad play for everyone. I won't do it on page 5, or until there's enough discussion to warrant it.
remussaidow wrote:And I refused to claim because, really, claiming Vanilla townie never does anyone any good.
I'm sorry, what just happened? Here you go talking about not claiming, (or until sufficent discussion) and 8 posts later you claim vanilla! *tearsupsomethingexpensive*

On a side note, although I was on the wagon at this point, I hardly think there's sufficent reason to lynch him, at least at this point in the game.
Sonicpulsar wrote:I've read and reread most of the past couple of pages looking for some insight in to remus's defense and realized he hasn't really laid any sort of groundwork for his defense. At least I can't really find any substance in any of it, which leads me to believe he's scum or he'll be a useless townie for us. Mainly whining and silly retorting. My vote stands.
Laying groundwork for defence? Like encoding V A N ILL A into your posts or something?
Okay, now some thinking. Remus claimed vanilla, but that doesn't mean we lynch him instantly. If he's town, it's probably bad play, since now the scum know that he's not a powerole, unless he's lying, which is VERY BAD for the town. If he's scum, then lynching is good, but at this point, like in page 5 (five, my god), it's very early for a lynch, or at least in my mini experience.

A hammer at this point would look REALLY scummy. I'm going to remember that you said you'd place the vote when discussion picked up. I'll call you on it at an appropriate time, probably when discussion's picked up!

Analysis of Pages 5 - 9 will follow sometime in the future. Sorry for not posting guys. :oops:

if you noticed, I went from lynch minus 2 to lynch minus 1. Then I claimed. I said I wouldn't claim at -2 in this stage, not that I wouldn't claim at all.

If this continues, I might ask for an abandonment vote. I'll try and post soon, once I sleep. :|

Heh, I feel I should probably post something here. Been putting off doing it, no theatric excuses from me. At least I didn't promise anything (ha). Not much to say I think, I agree with most of YellowBounders post 202 and Qmans revote concerns me if just a little.

Why exactly does it bother you? It was only vote #3 at the time, he's welll away from lynch. Still at 3 I believe.

I don't think you can say discussion picked up, so I put the vote back....

Here I did exactly what I said I would. Would you rather I have lied? It seems like that is the only position you're offering besides a revote. I said I would when I unvoted if things didn't pick up. They didn't, I did. Don't try painting it as more than it is.

I think you're blowing what Eteocles said a little out of proportion. He merely said he was a little concerned with it. I'd guess he just didn't remember (pay attention) to your earlier post/promise.

The only reason this game is dead is because too many people aren't posting anything at all besides "I'll post later". Either suck it up and do a reread/make an intelligent post or get a replacement. I can't reply or discuss things unless people post. I've thrown myself pretty far out there (as well as a few others). It's time everyone do the same.

I'd also like to see a deadline added, for no other reason than to see the game actually progress.

My opinion of Remus hasn't changed. My vote stands.

remus, self-voting is bad. It makes you look scummy.

I can't think of anything else to say. Granted, I haven't read this thread since my last post, and this is the least interesting out of all my games. I will try to do a reread and post some stuff. I will also try, for the first time, to post summaries in a casual manner, instead of overthinking my syntax and being self-conscious.

well, you know what. I don't give a crap anymore what you think is scummy or not, since moving the game forward meant I was scummy too.

Ok, this is how I am seeing the game right now.

The people that are active in the game (Aceiks, remus, and sonicpulsar, and to a lesser extent QMan and Yellowbounder) are basically on an island. This island is called The Game, and they're playing it. Unfortunately the game can only really be played with a full complement of people, and all those people are lazily asleep on a raft in the ocean, in full view of the island and the active people. They need these people to play the game properly, and without them they're getting a little desperate. Some of these people even begin to play the game
improperly
and thus the active people on the island begin to look a little like savages. Now this isn't any good! Now if the lazy people on the raft want to get back on the island to play the game they'll have to worry about getting attacked by the savages!

Ok I'll stop the metaphor there. I'm proposing that we all cool our heads a little (this is mostly directed at remus) and kind of mentally reset ourselves and try to make this thread as neutral but *insert the opposite of desperate* as possible in order to make it appealing for the inactives to actually do something. Because even if I'm back, and suddenly making helpful posts doesn't mean that we can do much of anything without everyone back.

I have to admit my attitude about this game has been bad and I'm sorry for detrimenting the game in any way.

Ok, on to non-kumbaya-type stuff.

@remus, I understand your situation. You expressed your opinion about bandwagons and people attacked you for it. And since people have used your opinion as a weapon against you and not any sort of action, you can't really defend yourself. This is made even worse because most people aren't participating to an extent that they could be construed as scummy but participate just enough to keep a sizable wagon on you, and if they are ever questioned about it, they could just say that they don't really have any other ideas/options.

In summary:
Vote Yogurtbandit
Compcrack

Basically crack.
