Mini 549 (Tarhalindur Mostly Mountainous) - Game Over

[Blackberry]

Trying to get in my good graces Earwig? Scum...

No, I'm trying to make everyone think we're scum buddies by defending you.

On another note, SlySly has only had 3 posts. The first a random vote - nothing unusual there. The next 2 were nothing of substance. Seems to be lurking to me.

At first look, it might appear that Rosso Carne is lurking as well. I've been in game or 2 with him - this seems to be his play style. That, or he really is always scum.

Also, I have to agree with Nyktorion:

Unvote, Vote: Rosso Carne

for trying to look active without adding content.

Although I appreciate the support on voting off the Nazi, I have a large problem with your ''reason''.

First -- ''Trying to look active'' makes no sense. One is either active or not active. There is no such thing as ''looking active.''

Second -- It's early in the game, how is someone supposed to add content this early when it's barely started?

Overall -- Your reason for voting RC is completely invalid. The accusation is a huge stretch and I'm unsure at this moment whether I consider this a scumtell or not.

Well, it is still possible to have many posts without really saying much (or in other words: to have a good difference between the number of posts and the number of relevant posts). And while you are right that my accusation might be miniscule in a progressed game, I think it is still a good reason for a vote considering the current ((semi-)random) state of the game, and the other possible reasons to vote for someone currently.

However, I find it quite interesting how you fiercely you are rushing towards Rosso's defence in the face of my rather semi-random accusation. Might be a slight first tell that you both have the same alignment, and that you know about that.

However, I'm going to go one step further.

Unvote: thenextepisode

Vote: Blackberry

Yes, I realize that puts Blackberry at 3 votes - no danger of lynch yet.

Do you care to explain why you are voting me? O_o



On a side note -- I know nothing of RC's alignment. I simply found your "reason" suspiscious.

Vote: Blackberry

What's this line all about? No danger of lynch yet? Isn't that rather the whole point of a vote, to lynch someone? Why do you need to reassure us that he is in no actual danger?

Bull--AniX knows everything because he is God. You have no relevance in AniX's getting information.

I'm not sure it is a good idea to convince everyone that you are scum.

My apologies. I played a game recently where red was reserved for mod. Thanks for clarification Tar.

Unvote

I think there is more than just random stuff going on right now

[Dean Harper]

mod

, your count is wrong you have two votes listed on Earwig and Blackberry, when you have 3 names listed.

Oops, you're right. Fixed. -Tar

Im still here, but will be away for 2 days, so ill bb on wednesday. Might have access, might not. Happy scumhunting!

[Earwig]

I can see my post had the desired effect.

Warning taken. It won't happen again. I meant it as a joke.

On a side note -- I know nothing of RC's alignment. I simply found your "reason" suspiscious.

I was voting you because Nyktorion stated you were "fiercly" rushing to Rosso's defense, then he said that might be a tell that you were alligned with Rosso.

Vote: Blackberry

Yes, I realize that puts Blackberry at 3 votes - no danger of lynch yet.

It was a pre-emptive statement. I was expecting everyone to get all over my case because I put someone at 3 votes. Yes, the whole point is to lynch someone.

@Earwig: Don't you remember who you were voting for?

I was going by the vote count. After checking, I see that I must have been on something - I obviously looked at it wrong.



While I'm at it:

Unvote

[Nyktorion]

It seems that Rosso's "spammyness" and Blackberry's seem to be rather related to their general playstyle, so I am done with that avenue of information search for now.

Unvote

Right now, I am getting curious about ryan's small post. You say that there are many nonrandom things going on, but you don't have any nonrandom opinion or vote yet? This sounds a bit like trying to stay below the radar to me.

Vote:ryan

Mod

, I think that Blackberry should have three votes listed in the fifth vote count, since all three people who are listed besides Blackberry were voting for him at that time.

So it should. Fixed. -Tar

[ryan]

Uh........I had a random vote on till I lifted it and now am watching Rosso and Blackberry as those two are the two that most interest me currently along with Earwig for their posting content, I'm not sure how that validates a vote but to each his own.

[Jester]

Blackberry, what's with the green, oversized text in your 36 and 56 (green in one, red in the other)? That said:

First -- ''Trying to look active'' makes no sense. One is either active or not active. There is no such thing as ''looking active.''

This is incredibly not true. Nothing will draw a serious vote from me faster than posting about nothing. Posts about nothing tend to be scum posts. It's also quite easy to look active by posting weird, random crap (as Rosso is doing in his 26, 28, and 33). People who post random crap tend to be rather poor townie players. Since Nyktorion also pointed out that this statement isn't true,

unvote

.

On another note, SlySly has only had 3 posts. The first a random vote - nothing unusual there. The next 2 were nothing of substance. Seems to be lurking to me.

Interesting that you didn't accuse myself or Dean Harper or johoohno of this. All three of us had fewer posts than SlySly up to your 49. For the record, I tend to play this game by making longish posts every two or three days. I also don't play MS on weekends unless the game is at a critical phase.

Also, a sort of newbie question. The title of the game is "Mostly Mountainous." From what I understand, a mountainous game is slang for one that has multiple mafia groups. Is that correct?

[Blackberry]

Blackberry, what's with the green, oversized text in your 36 and 56 (green in one, red in the other)?

What is wrong with oversized, colored text? I like to make myself feel important. If you don't like my text then get out of the mountains or something.

Speaking of which, I had no idea what mountainous meant. I've never heard that as "slang" but I will go look into it and see what I find.

I still argue there is no such thing as "looking active," you are either active or not action. Posting content or not posting content. Being active and posting content are two unrelated concepts that do not intertwine.

Ryan's last two posts are oddly suspiscious to me. I can't point out the exact reason why, but I am not satisfied with his imput.

I was only trying to stir things up. SlySly wasn’t the only one with few or no posts.

[Blackberry]

Mountainous Mafia -- if I am correct, only has townies and mafia as roles.

[Blackberry]

Errrrr, then again, this is "MOSTLY Mountainous Mafia" ... O_o So I dunno what that means.

:goodposting:

im gonna read up, but im perfectly willing to pressure a lurker like ryan for right now.

unvote, vote ryan

thanks for bringing that out.

[Ectomancer]

Blackberry, the behavior they are talking about is one I've heard described as "lurking in plain sight". It is scummy behavior to me.

I still argue there is no such thing as "looking active," you are either active or not action. Posting content or not posting content. Being active and posting content are two unrelated concepts that do not intertwine.

This is just semantics. I believe you know what they are talking about. Why split hairs with an argument over "active" and "content"? What do you think about Jester's comments concerning Rosso's posts 26, 28, and 33?

[ryan]

Rosso Carne: Pressure away my friend, but if you are pressuring me for "lurking" as you stated, than make sure you've got your facts correct on people and what they've posted in this game so far.
