Don’t lynch me!! I know it’s scummy to lurk, but I have no freaking clue what’s going on here. As much as I’d love for you guys to put me out of my misery and end my obligation to this game, it is not in Town’s best interest.
I am not scum.
I tried on three seperate occassions to catch up in this game, but the fact that it’s all in one GIANT thread, makes it hard to seperate everything. Add to that the fact that we can talk strategy at night, it’s impossible to figure out where in the game any particular page is. It’s overwhelming.
When I first subbed in, I was fired up and motivated. But all the confustion, rule changes, indecisive mod, subs, etc… I couldn’t take it anymore.
Though my life can’t really add much to Town’s efforts, my death will certainly take away from it.
Thank you for resolving my uncertainty, Bear_Nenno. You have now established that you are, in fact, still following this game, and just not doing anything to promote Town winning, rather than just having drifted away as I had considered possible. Someone who’s paying no attention to the game at all is as good as dead already, and would be a waste of a lynch, but someone in your situation? You’re dangerous. My vote stands.
(Bolding mine)
Oh, so you have a role to claim? But you’re not telling us what it is? What do we call that? Oh yeah, a softclaim! The very same thing that nearly got you mislynched on Day Two, and did end up getting you Nightkilled! I think Chronos has already done a good job of explaining why this is bad, anti-Town play.
And the second quoted sentence is just the kind of rude, condescending smudginess we have come to expect from all of your various incarnations. Really, dude, the first two times you were in this game, you were Town and you got yourself killed. If you’re trying to help Town this time around, you’re still not doing a good job of it.
I agree that Mahaloth has an unfortunate voting record (as do many of us), but what is your beef with AllWalker? He (I think he’s a he, right?) voted for the only scum we have thus far lynched, which makes him look better than most from my POV. Do you think he has done something to encourage mislynches without actually voting for them? If so, please clarify.
And I would also like to note that most of the above post (even after I edited out a paragraph addressed to Meeko) isn’t actually about the people you are allegedly presenting a case against. Lame and lazy.
More to come, probably soon but maybe not until Tomorrow.
:dubious: Everyone in every mafia game has a role. Whether it be vanilla town or Bulletproof hated townie. If you didn’t have a role then you wouldn’t be playing.
I said prior to the post that you quoted that there wasn’t a whole lot to go off of. I was pressed to bring alternatives to a Peeker lynch, so I brought up the people who HAD been pinging me the most. It seems that this Day has brought about a lot more meaningful content and I am not as wary of either Mahaloth or Allwalker.
Or, you could just be clueless about the game to begin with, and get further out on trying to explain yourself to people who have given up on you.
I understand that we should be running what someone says at one point in time, against what they say later, but frankly, I don’t see much of that at all.
I thought that if I Could maintain a level of presence along with some different thinking, I thought I would be ok.
That’s post 1638; in 1621 you complained that the Doctor hadn’t been smart enough to protect you (the original you, that is). So apparently what is “obvious” to you isn’t always obvious to others.
On the other hand, since the only other claimed Town power roles were masons, who you define as “vital”, apparently you think that it was good that scum “wasted time” taking you out, so what are you bitching about the doctor for? (not to mention that although we have Meeko’s testimony that a Doctor exists, we don’t even know for sure that the Doc is pro-Town). Besides which, I think you’re wrong; your claimed role was much stronger than a Mason, if played intelligently.
Your efforts to argue that there is some non-convoluted scenario in which softclaiming could be pro-Town continue to underwhelm me.
True(about a lot of us having poor voting records), but I did vote Captain Pinkies on Day One for my final vote and he turned out to be a Sinner, right?
Yeah, I know. It’s not a scumtell so much as a sucktell.
But I wouldn’t say I “made a case” against Mahaloth so much as I mentioned in passing that his voting record looked bad.
The setup in this game makes vote analysis more difficult than in a regular two-sided game. Presumably a scum in this game would love to make successful cases against members of the other scum team in order to get Town cred. So a record of voting for Town doesn’t say “scum” so much as it says “bad scum-hunter”…except in the case where a vote was close between Town and scum (as on Day Two), where a Town vote should still raise suspicion of a motive to protect a teammate.
Unfortunately, in this particular case, when I went back and reread Day Two looking harder at the paul voters, although I did notice some mostly-paul-unrelated scumminess from Freudian Slit, mostly I just thought “Well, of course all these people are voting for paul, he’s acting scummier than scum-fried scum in scum sauce with a side of scum!”
Re: paul’s WOW on Inner Stickler (1673): Lots of smudging, interpreting everything in the worst possible light. Also inconsistency (he thinks IS might be a Sinner pretending to be confused about the mechanics of sin, but then he’s pretty sure he isn’t, but he’s still probably scum). Lots of defensiveness about how IS called him on his softclaiming, which would have been such a brilliant pro-Town move if only everybody else in this game wasn’t so far below paul’s intellectual level.
Bottom line,** IS** has been on the lurky side of this game, and seemed very invested in drawing people into pointless speculation about the mechanics of Sin, neither of which are points in his favor. But paul seems to have gone into this WOW with a giant-sized axe to grind.
On a technical note, how did you quote multiple posts within a single post? That is a very nice thing to be able to do!
There is one aspect to the game, that will remain the same, regardless of who thinks the following thought, regardless of how much experience they have.
I am having it currently.
There will come a point in time, where all players left will have to reevaluate what they were thinking of certain players, who have not claimed.
Added to this, is the fact that people who are stuck on voting one person for the next vote, no matter what, will simply not be as productive to the Town as they could be, if they were otherwise undecided.
No… I said that EITHER IS was clueless about sin and so not a Sinner… OR he was a sinner making it seem that way. And I then made it abundantly clear that I was convince he was truly clueless. The only reason I brought up the other option is because it is an option.
And a WOW is not going to be impartial… what would be the point of not stating my opinion when reposting someone’s posts? When Meeko brought up Bear and IS… I didn’t have much an opinion. They had flown under my radar. But there wasnt anything to turn up on Bear… and when I read through IS’s posts I got a very scummy vibe from him. So naturally my comments on his posts in the WOW I did is going to reflect those scummy feelings.
