/in-Vitational Game 5, Simon Mafia 2: Game Over before 832

[Lord Gurgi]

I'm not serious. Were I serious, chances are I'd be voting for him.

Batt, do your FoS's actually mean anything?

[Nuwen]

All of these FOSes need to turn into words.

Unvote
Vote:LlamaFluff

FOS: ZazieR, Lord Gurgi

Actually when you vote someone who can't defend themselves, you get to see who jumps to the valiant defense.

I see.

Do you think stating that reading technique neuters it at all? I do.

[SpyreX]

Ohh Battousai comin in harshin the mellow.

I'll do some real stuff when its not the wifes bday.

[Lord Gurgi]

It doesn't seem to matter, because people keep doing it every time.

Is that an Ether avatar?

[Nuwen]

Is that an Ether avatar?

Yeah. She touched my special profile place.

Yeah. She touched my special profile place.

:(

She might need to try something new if it's that obvious.

Also <3

Yeah. She touched my special profile place.

I like your avi. It's pretty ^-^.

[Debonair Danny DiPietro]

Might've been nice if someone had actually told me this game was starting.

Vote: ZazieR

, what the other Hokie said.

[Battousai]

Goat- Why is ZazieR the worse?

LG- He may not feel it now, but he may feel it when he wakes up. Also, my FOS's do mean something, as in I find these people suspicious. Actually I think I can say with some certainty that at least one person on the DDD wagon is scum, regardless of DDD's alignment.

[Lord Gurgi]

Well, see, I think that FoS'ing without voting is a reliable tell.

[Battousai]

Well, I'm not going to vote to suit you...

[Lord Gurgi]

Why aren't you voting? It's not for lack of suspects, so what is it?

[LlamaFluff]

Well, I'm not going to vote to suit you...

You have three FoSs out at this point, but no vote. Am I correct in assuming that everyone you are FoSing is at the exact same level of scummyness?

[Goatrevolt]

Goat- Why is ZazieR the worse?

I'm not going to elaborate on this yet.

Zazie: Can you explain why you voted DDD?

[Battousai]

LG and Llamafluff- I'm waiting on more play before I place my vote down again. Right now everyone I fos'd has done the same thing, so I'm going to wait for them to become more active.

[Nuwen]

LG and Llamafluff- I'm waiting on more play before I place my vote down again. Right now everyone I fos'd has done the same thing, so I'm going to wait for them to become more active.

Passivity kills orphans. Why aren't you pressuring all of the above, finding out their lurker policies, and putting them off ease? Waiting for players to provide you with case material at your leisure is lazy and opportunistic.

[Patrick]

Vote: Nuwen

[Lord Gurgi]

Now I'm confused, because what Nuwen said makes sense to me. Are you voting her for some other reason, Patrick?

[Patrick]

How? That's not the feeling I got from his posts at all. He seems to be one of the more involved players so far, so I wouldn't say lazy, and I don't think there's anything wrong with waiting for more before voting.

[Lord Gurgi]

He's got three suspects, it's not like this is a terribly volatile situation. There's no reason not to vote, and plenty of reason to vote.

[Goatrevolt]

LG and Llamafluff- I'm waiting on more play before I place my vote down again. Right now everyone I fos'd has done the same thing, so I'm going to wait for them to become more active.

They didn't do the same thing. Llama started the wagon. Zazie hopped aboard without comment. And LG jumped on with a "screw the RVS, let's just blatantly bandwagon" vote. Does reasoning, timing, the nature of the vote not factor in to your opinions at all?

[Goatrevolt]

I have a feeling this is going to be a slow game...

[Nuwen]

I don't mind a slow game while the search function is down. I like to look up the hopes, dreams and metas of people I've never played with and I didn't possess the lucidity to prepare for this game in advance. I

care

about you guys as

people

.

Battousai has said a great deal of nothing in his

involved

posts, and left even fewer voting footprints to boot. While I'm not suggesting that we halt all play and string him up now, I'm surprised that no one else shares my dissatisfaction. Look at these,

What seems to be the most likely, is that you are trying to lynch a player who hasn't been on to defend themselves, and leave yourself defence of lynching someone who would be hurtful when DDD flips.

I prefer quicklynches to have actually happened prior to going after those behind them; are all of your suspicions honestly based on the expectation that DDD's wagon would be pushed to a kill?

Unvote
FOS: LlamaFluff

Why does verification of DDD's "active lurking" (which I doubt was deliberate, but that's irrelevant to this point) lessen the insensity of your suspicion towards LlamaFluff? Do you believe scum always get town lynched for false reasons?

NUWEN TUNNEL, IGNITE!

[Nuwen]

I'd also like to take this moment of sobriety to bring up the mechanics of this game:

What advantages does the use of a bellhop have?

The floor system makes it entirely possible to "protect" a slew of players, with the caveat that they can still be killed by another person on their floor. A death on a locked floor means that someone on that floor has killing abilities, barring the intervention of a bellhop.

Does anyone else see a town use for the bellhop? The role seems like a game-convoluting nuisance. There's a faint possibility that the bellhop could secret the target of a NK off to a locked floor as pseudo-protection, but that also injects another player into the controlled atmosphere of sealed floors.
