Mini 508- Trouble in New Catania-Game Over

[Streeflo]

unvote
vote: Streeflo

cause he is surely not a paranoid cop lol...

Huh? Am I the only one who is confused?

I was a paranoid cop in our last game that claimed Day 2. After three

very

long days and three

very

long nights (and lots of bad playing), the town lynched me on the grounds that someone2 was the sane cop. We lost of course.

Bad memories > >

They dynamic between Streeflo and Claus is very interesting. I'll keep an eye on the both of them.

Oh. Okay. The fact that you unvoted to vote for Streeflo seemed odd. If you wanted to make a reference to a previous game, I would think you'd scan the player list, find his name, and then make the reference.

By unvoting, you made it sound like your vote was a reaction to his post. I apologize for the confusion.

This, to me, seems incredibly odd and out of sorts. Almost too polite. It seems forced. Faked. It reminds me of the Mafia Buddying Up Technique.

I'll place the first non-random vote.

Unvote, Vote: Rishi

This seems a little too hypocritical to pass up posting.

There's nothing wrong with the a little civility once in a while.

Your post doesn't sound forced? How many different ways do you have to mention that my post sounded a little bit off?

I agree that it sounds like you're trying to make a case out of thin air. Fortunately, my random vote is already on you. I see no reason to remove it for now.

[The Fonz]

And now, your first votecount, brought to you by New Catania Morgue- you kill 'em, we chill 'em:

LoudMouthLee 2 (Rishi, Claus)

Claus 1 (Streeflo)
Lowell 1 (Beastly)
Streeflo 1 (someone2)
someone2 1 (BrianMcQueso)
Rishi 1 (LoudMouthLee)
Beastly 1 (Lowell)

Not voting: rite

Unvote, Vote: Rishi

Hypocritical is wrong.. more like pointing out possible pairings. I thought the Rishi post was odd, along with Claus's post, with yours directly afterwards. Both just seemed... odd.

Rishi's post screamed "untrue" hence the vote. The correlation of you and Claus was not strong enough at that point.

[LoudmouthLee]

Hmmm, it seems to me that you are trying too hard to make cases out of thin air, LML. This is the second time already. (a _little_ better than the "interesting dynamic" in random votes, however).

Vote: LML

And I get to form the first bandwagon - yay!

You don't get to form ANY bandwagon without the town believeing in you. What do you expect me to do? Twiddle my thumbs and not be aggressive? I implore you, check out ANY of my games. I am hyper aggressive.

It catches scum an awful lot. You may be scared of the best mafia performance button by my name, but the year before that, I was the paragon of mafia hunters.

Pairings are important to look at, especially after we gain valuable information through lynching and NKs. Instead of just documenting these pairings in my notes, I give them to everyone to read. It tends to make scum very nervous.

So, Claus, are you nervous?

[kuribo]

Claus, why are you trying to form a bandwagon on such shaky ground?

Finger of Suspicion: Claus

[Beastly]

unvote: LML

Hopping off that bandwagon,

making cases out of thin air

are what day start day one is all about, no reason to punish it.

Scum however are forced to make cases out of thin air are they not? Day one, two whenever.

I'm not admonishing LML for going after Rishi but you seem awfully quick to jump to his defence. Scum buddying up to town perhaps.

Plus I thought what with your title you'd be shamelessly bandwagonning

unvote, vote rite

Wow... let me count...

You are bashing me here with appeal to authority, read-my-previous-games-I'm-like-that-shut-up, intimidation, AND patronizing. That is REALLY charming, LML

(Oh, and I hadn't noticed your little button - congratulations!)

I'll be without internet until sunday evening - until them, I don't think it will hurt leaving my vote on you, you seem to like it.

[BrianMcQueso]

I'm with LML on this one. "Making cases out of thin air" is about all you can do two pages into the game, but LML is voting based on behavior.

Even aside from what Lee thinks, trying to start a bandwagon (and even blatantly stating so!) on something that seems like no more than OMGUS reasoning seems awfully scummy to me.

unvote: someone2
vote: Claus

[someone2]

Wow, Claus' behavior is very scummy, but I think what he did was just to get the game starting, and it worked. However, the fact that he isn't defending himself but just trying to humiliate LML is scummy.

FOS: Claus

[death_omen]

Unvote

I think we are out of the "random" stage now.

[LoudmouthLee]

Don't worry. I am patronizing. I'm a true asshole

I dislike Clause more than Rishi now. Claus was hypersensative to my posts and pressure, and seems more nervous than frustrated.

Unvote, but IGMEOY: Rishi.
Vote: Claus

[Streeflo]

Random stage = over

Unvote;

Rishi seems to be the one "making cases out of thin air". I don't see the heavy suspicion on Claus.

[Rishi]

Honestly, I don't think the case on LML is that strong. But it's the most suspicious behavior I've seen so far. So, for now, my vote stands.

Why are you sad about the random stage ending, Streeflo? Just curious... I hate the random stage. I realize that it's generally necessary, but it's not fun to play.

[rite]

out of internet reach until sunday evening!

[Happiest Sadist]

unvote

We aren't random anymore.

[Claus]

Don't worry. I am patronizing. I'm a true asshole

Then I think we'll get along just fine.

But why are you still saying I'm nervous, and not frustrated? I don't feel either nervous OR frustrated: It is too early in the game for either

Claus, why are you trying to form a bandwagon on such shaky ground?

Because it gets people talking. Why do a meaningless random vote when you can get people accusing and defending you by doing something a bit more bold?

For instance, someone2: You said my behavior is very scummy twice. Can you elaborate on that, or are you saying I'm scummy because a lot of people seem to be saying that too?

[someone2]

Sorry, in post 35, I tried to say that your behavior seemed very scummy but it wasn't because you wanted to get the game going. After that I said that the thing that was scummy you did was to not explain yourself in post 33 but just kind of humiliate LML...

[The Fonz]

Due to lack of posting, a tentative deadline will be set for

6pm GMT, Monday 22nd October

. This will be pushed back if discussion picks up.

[LoudmouthLee]

Mod

, so early in the day, can we have some prods rather than a deadline?

[The Fonz]

Let me know who you want prodded. I got a feeling of general, rather than specific, inactivity, hence the deadline.

[rite]

Seconding the request for prods, and could we have a vote count, please?

[The Fonz]

Your second votecount, brought to you by TomTom SatNav- allowing you to find your way back to the mini normal you've so carelessly neglected:

LoudMouthLee 2 (Rishi, Claus)
rite 1 (Beastly)
Claus 2 (BrianMcQueso, LoudMouthLee)
Streeflo 1 (someone2)
Beastly 1 (Lowell)
death_omen 1 (kuribo)

Lowell has been prodded

. Everyone else has posted on this page, so no-one stands out as being particularly inactive. Deadline remains, for now.

[Streeflo]

I don't know, I think it's more fun than Day 1 as a whole. The juicy mid and end game are the best of course =D
