Sigma's post made sense. Vi's didn't.

Lynching someone whose meta you don't know is just extension of "lynch killa 7" logic
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"

I prefer 'elegant'.

Ur-Quan are just about the opposite of "elegant".

Nnnnnnnno, "lynch killa seven" is
all about
knowing k7's meta of lurking through every game.

Question to both of you: Is there anything better you could be doing to find out who's Town or not?
Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.

Sigma is not the first person to use the "I'm voting for someone I don't know" reason. I have seen it before. It is not novel. It is not wild and crazy. Haven't you seen it before, Vi?

vote Vi

The logic is similar Vi. You lynch killa seven because you can't ever read him (because he lurks). Likewise, lynching someone you don't know makes sense because you have less power to read that player compared to any other player.
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"

sigma: I'm refusing to random vote.
sigma, 5 hours later: Wow, isn't anyone going to pay attention to me?

I'm sorry. If I
unvote
and
vote: sigma
do you think you can forgive me for not jumping on your post?

Do you think that Vi was actually concerned about your vote in post 69? Did Vi's insight greatly influence, like, your reason for speaking out about your vote? You brought up that you were a little quick to pull the trigger, but, just to rephrase the question, what exactly did you expect the town to do or say, especially in such a short period of time?

The key words being disappointed and yet, in my opinion. "Disappointed" implies that you wanted to catch some attention for it, and that you are not impressed with crypto, Sotty, pops, hito, Pads, rofl, Mae, me, Infinis, and CSL for ignoring your vote. "Yet" implies that you are expecting feedback from players not named hiphop. Is at least this much accurate?

I, although meta-blah, understandish what sigma was suggesting. However, this still absolutely baffles me:
I was hoping that someone would take offense at my stated reason and non-random vote me. I don't think that's likely to happen now -- probably should have waited a little longer for that to happen, but I'm feeling impatient.
So, was it "wagon because I don't know" or "lol, reactions"?

Were you expecting anything at all from hiphop, then, or were you trying to incite general controversy?

I don't understand what you're saying here and I'm pretty sure I'm not reading this properly.
In context with the above quote, this seems like you're looking for a bandwagon on yourself... not hiphop.
They're not randomly voting me for my stated voting reason, which is what I was talking about. Basic goal is to incite some controversy to get this game rolling, yes.

Given that a wagon is going to form, I'd rather it form on someone I don't know. I'm also taking a risk that a wagon would form on me, but I can deal with that.

Vi's post did not influence me particularly -- I just had some time to make a post and elected to do so. I expected someone to ask me about my stated reasoning for my vote.

Yes to all, except feedback from hiphop was expected.

both, really. reactions get the game going, and wagon because I don't know is a decent strategy, IMO.

Limited time but here's my take from a quick skim.

^QFT.

Sigma initial vote was fine but still semi-random. I don't see why you were expecting much to come of it.
Sigma wrote:Basic goal is to incite some controversy to get this game rolling, yes.
Preferably not of yourself. Appearing scummy to end the RVS is not the best IMO.

@RC, is your vote implying you find Sigma's actions scummy or just RVS?

He voted for someone who just said they weren't gonna be around til sunday and didn't provide a reason for his vote. But know I think about
it I was being a bit hypocritical.

Anyway,

Vote: Hoopola

I'm not trying to appear scummy. Is that your contention?

If you take my 'wagon someone you don't know' approach as good strategy, then it makes sense that the best target for this is someone who no one knows. that's what I was getting at.
