…No, it’s more that I want a class that requires a specific alignment.
True enough, but I don’t think trading votes for items, especially when the person clearly intended to gain the most from all these secretive exchanges appears to be the only person who knows what these gems do, is either wise or pro-Town. I can’t fathom why anyone would take you up on this agreement when you have the knowledge and they have none.
If it was open and aboveboard, why not make the offer in public? My guess is: because you want to pick up the most pretties in the end, and because you know how they work.
I’ll ask it plainly: how does this help Town, fubbles?
this is what i meant when people would find private communication suspicious. PMing and chatting are just tools. it can be used to coordinate attacks, to try to catch a suspected scum in a slip, to try to get a townie to say something suspicious (if you’re scum), negotiate with people (ex fubbles) on services.
can you imagine fubbles and someone posting 20 times on thread to agree on a price? what if you want to conceal what items you have? don’t tell me that’s scummy. after all only glee has declared ownership of an item.
use or not use, that’s up to you. just don’t consider it a bad thing.
it helps town if townies get their items identified. they will have to trust him. as i said before, there’s no incentive for dishonesty. if he is dishonest, he’s dead. is that clearer?
I woudln’t want price haggling back and forth in the game thread, true, but I felt the original announcement of the offer should’ve been in public, so at least everyone knows what’s going on.
It could very well be I’m just not cut out for a pizzaguy game, where chaos reigns supreme, but I’ve gotta be me, and "me? is someone who prefers openness as much as possible when it comes to gameplay (within limits, obviously). We Townies have little enough information as it is, for pete’s sake. That’s the whole premise of the game. I want info so we have more of a level playing field with Scum. And rightly or wrongly, I just can’t help not trusting secretive people when Town is so starved for info.
Why do you care so much, if you’re not Third Party?
Someone I’ve been talking to relayed something that someone they had been talking to said about a Third Party win condition to amass as much wealth as possible. The person that I’ve been talking to noted that such a win condition fit your behavior to a tee, and I agree.
You haven’t exactly been allaying my suspicions with your responses.
What are you talking about? I’ve told you what I know. And by your reaction you’re clearly Third Party, so we don’t really need to continue this exchange.
Deal with fubbleskag at your peril, people, and hope that if he achieves his win condition it doesn’t mean that the rest of us lose.
It relates to secret vote pimpery (you didn’t mention in your PM that you were doing any other vote swapping deals). This really isn’t hard to fathom, is it? Also, I don’t like the idea of the one person able to identify items also trying to amass more goodies than anyone else. “Oh, this one isn’t worth much, I’ll take it off your hands for 5 gold.”
Eh, might as well start the day off already with a tentative
I didn’t mention it because it should have been obvious - I’d already publicly swapped votes with someone else prior to making a similar offer to you.
is the rhetorical implication that I’m a fucking moron necessary?
what makes you think I’m the only person that can identify items? even if I am, it’s clear from the write-up that this may not always be the case. also, it’s not technically possible for me to amass more goodies than anyone else.
Wow, this game has turned into Survivor.
Scum won’t necessarily vote as a bloc here, because if one gets busted, everyone who is allied with them will come under suspicion. These kinds of in-thread things are good for Town (not like the attacks, which are anonymous).
choie seems on the same wave length as me, not for any one post, but her general cautiousness about all these goings on. Choie, want to work together?
I gotta agree. I’m just not sitting well with the fact that secret negotiations are being carried out behind the threads without a good paper trail.
FOS Fubbles
And VisorSlash- I really don’t like asshole tactics. I mean, they have a time and a place, so if you’re playing some master strategy fair enough. But our fair town needs to work together, and your behavior… well it’s not really helping us out. And the fact that you’re working with fubbles behind the scenes. Just =\
Also, just WIFOM, but to whoever said they were surprised by the healing- Clerics in D&D games are known as having “light/healing” magic. Clerics seem like the likeliest people to heal. And usually they and Pallys (paladins) tend to be of the Good alignment stereotypically, but in D&D they can fall and be Evil as well.
As I’ve said, I think Lightfoot, gnarlycharlie, Normal Phase, choie, and GuiriEnEspaña are all Townies, and I hope some of them advertise their desire to win one of the magic items. If other Townies cooperate, at least we can ensure these items don’t pass to Scum or 3rd Parties.
