Since there are no restrictions on strategy talk, when I made my FOS post, I said “everybody” because I was pretty sure I’d seen that argument made before in a post by someone voting for peeker, although not necessarily in the post where they made the vote. I wasn’t sure who it was and didn’t have time to go through the thread looking for it (and still don’t, although I may at some point in the future) so I just hedged my bets and said “everyone.” But if it turns out it’s just zeriel, then the FOS applies to just him, then. Nothing changes–I still think it’s a horrid reason to vote peeker on Day One, since he always makes the same damned joke vote every Day One.
sorry for missing it. I looked them up just by sorting "the game thread’ by highest post threads ‘since the beginning’ A vast majority of the threads at the top are Mafia threads, btw
Hey guys, sorry I disappeared and didn’t get a vote in. I’m finally settled in back in my old office but it was buried under a mountain of paper work, actually my friends spend the last 6 months filling my 10x10 office floor to ceiling with newspaper, and it took me 3 hours to dig out. This was the big hurdle in my communication for this game and I should be good from here on out.
Whoops, I somehow got the time zone conversion mangled in my head, or I would have shown up earlier to defend myself. Since I ended up in second place, and since it looks like strategy talk is permitted at Night, I think I ought to defend myself anyway. First off, MHaye’s vote:
As it stands, I can’t really make sense of this-- Could we have some antecedents for those pronouns, maybe? MHaye starts off by agreeing with me, that the typos didn’t mean anything. He then goes on to say that “the conclusions he drew were totally unsupported”. Since it was Wanderers who drew the conclusions from the typos, I presume that the “he” here means Wanderers, not me. Then we have “Someone trying to build a case on that reason is either extremely foolish or has an ulterior motive.”. OK, I think I can agree with this, assuming that the “someone” means Wanderers, and “that reason” means based on the typos. But then we have “I reject the hypothesis that Chronos is that foolish. So he had a reason.”, which makes it look like the preceding sentence was about me. MHaye, at what point in that post did you go from talking about Wanderers and what he did, to me and what I did?
OK, next up, to storyteller’s re-vote of me. I’ve already made my defense against the charge that my vote was opportunistic, so I’ll say no more on that. Then there’s this:
OK, I can see how those two ideas, especially in combination, can be seen as bad. It’d have been nice if you had pointed out that it was a bad idea at the time, so we’d have been able to re-assess, and maybe come to a consensus that it was bad, so we wouldn’t fall into that trap. It’s too late for that, now, since everyone, including our hypothetical doctor and all of the Scum, have now claimed. If it’s obvious that this was a bad idea, why didn’t you point it out sooner, and if it wasn’t so obvious, then why does it reflect on me that I didn’t notice it either?
Also from storyteller’s vote:
I’m pretty sure I’ve said something to this effect in every game I’ve played, including the games where I was Town. I say it for the simple reason that it’s true: The first-Day lynch is, in fact, usually Town. Can anyone dispute that fact? It doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t try to lynch Scum, just that we shouldn’t be too surprised when and if we fail.
And, of course, there’s peeker’s vote for me, which so far as I can tell boils down to “Chronos voted for a Townie, therefore Chronos is Scum”. Even if the blue text does mean peeker was Town (a point I’d really appreciate seeing clarified) I don’t think I really need to put up any defense versus that one, since I’m sure everyone already sees the flaw.
Oh, and since it was sachertorte who pointed it out in the last game, I feel obligated to point it out here: The way the end-of-Night is scheduled, there’s a perfect window of opportunity every Morning for a detective claim. When the Detective decides that the time has come to claim and reveal es investigations, e should do so shortly after 2:00 on that Saturday, rather than during the preceding Day. That way, the Scum can’t decide to kill him immediately, but if he was targeted by guesswork, he’s not dead yet.
Hi all. I’m assuming that blue text, plus peeker’s “go town” dying message, mean Town. I think I’m going to pretend that there isn’t strategy talk at night even though there is and come back with fresh eyes and brain later.
And, oh yeah, Screamers mafia went to 880 posts on the first day. I still remember the sinking feeling when we found out it wasn’t over yet on page 13 or so…
That was mostly because Day 1 itself went on extra-long, though. There were mechanics in that game that led to variable-length Days, but after that, I think they were all about a week long, like normal.
You’re in luck. It, too, comes with a cute lil Passover beanie, and you get a bonus! No, NOT the peanuts, save those for tonight. You get a clean glass.
You ever have a day, where you don’t know what you feel, and you don’t why you don’t know what you feel?
I feel bad for the Peeker vote, but not sure that I would even unvote now, if I had the chance.
Not sure if he will understand why I voted for him. Not sure if you guys got why I voted for him.
I feel drunk right now, and I haven’t touched any.
Would like to talk to him later though. Not here, not the forum. heh. Just, I felt I put a lot of equity on Peeker that I can never get back. Bits and pieces here and there, in all games, and in meta game space. Just sooo thought his “strategy” in the game was from a different place.
I am probably making it worse. Catch you guys later. I feel REALLY off tonight. in general.
