Declaring suspicion of a bandwagon in the random phase is as impotent as declaring suspicion of a single vote in the random phase. What difference does it make whether a bunch of non-serious votes with no explicit justification are placed on various people, or a single person?

Hey, maybe now it's suspicious if one person switches their vote several times in the random phase, or when two people vote for each other in the random phase.

Sorry, I don't buy this. It's a pretty lame argument and I'm suspicious of those making it, for aforementioned reasons.

Whose to say they weren't / aren't serious?

Yeah... because that's the same thing...

Well good for you. We've established now that we disagree...

Why are we debating this again and letting people get away with lurking?

Vote: ooba
I still want to hear from him.

I've already explained why they were indistinguishable from other jokevotes.

Being unsure about it at the time is one thing, but continuing to push them as suspicious is... well, suspicious.

In terms of the kind of picture you're trying to paint of them, yes.
Nightfall wrote:Well good for you. We've established now that we disagree...
I was just making my opinion on the matter clear to all, as opposed to addressing you directly.

to spur some conversations, I shall put my opinion into this question.

Its has always seemed suspicious when a number of votes get tacked on to one person in the RVS, because there are so many options to place a random vote, it seems suspicious that people would pile them on to one person so early in the game.

Grimmy
yes I am insane, thanks for asking. And yes, I would like fries with that!
Why is it suspicious for a random wagon on one person in the RVS?
what made it look suspicious was that one after another, despite the number of other players in this game, the votes piled up on one player.

Ive seen suspicions placed on people who simply put a SECOND vote on someone in the RVS, but we had THREE.

Like I said, I was giving a reason why it would be suspicious. Personally, I dont take ANYTHING in the RVS stage seriously, with the exception being when someone keeps their random vote and decalres it a serious one.

Whoever put suspicion on someone who placed a second vote on someone else in the RVS is too paranoid.

Either way, I feel no point in debating this further :/

Still waiting for Zilla.

IMO, Nightfall is trying to stop a discussion that has very minimal in-game effect. Yes, he
is
changing the subject, but that just happens to be the pro-town thing to do. Stop wasting your time debating a silly point. Honestly, if nobody had suspicions because of a random wagon, most games would never get out of the random vote stage.
Not a dayvig.

I'm surprised Charter flipped town.

I'm debating on whether we should examine his wagon, or examine the people calling to examine his wagon. I'm leaning more toward the latter, I think Charter's lynch was mostly town led and scum are trying to capitalize on that.

If we're going the other route and examining the wagon, I'm suspicious how how Megatheory's vote carried all the way from RVS to lynch, even though his vote wasn't all that random.

Ooba is Gamma's replacement.
That's why I am voting him.
I thought Gamma was scum day one,
and I want to hear from his replacement.

Would you like me to continue debating the issue?
I stand by my posts, and I'll continue debating if you'd like but I thought it best that we hear more from other players as Spol and I have been pretty much dominating the thread in the last while.

I don't like how AJ just switched his reasons for voting Nightfall...

I think I may have to read over this game one more time. I also don't like the latest turns discussion has taken.

I don't like the way activity is around here, so I'm throwing a deadline for April 4 at 9:00 PM EDT/7:00 PM MDT. Get posting.

MafiaSSK, I'd like you to do a round of prods and a vote count please.
I have to get off now.
Well, maybe not since my mom only needed the computer for a few minutes, but if you could do me that favor...

Again, he had only made one large, non-joke post at the time of my voting him, which was mostly a list of possible role names. So kinda, although I'm willing to go back to voting him if he starts posting non-contribution posts again.
Also, why don't you post some analysis, Alabaska?
speaking of not posting a lot of analysis, you've posted shockingly little yourself. one post on how you thought grimmy was scummy and then you take it back immediately after one post defending himself. grimmy was hardly the biggest offender. if you were gonna go after people for not contributing, we have people who don't even seem to post anymore. i'm finding you fairly hypocritical right now.
Irony. AJ hasn't posted analysis himself, very little at all. Almost all his posts are one-line peanut-gallery comments.

Vote: AlabaskaJ


I'd like you to post some analysis' of your own, and perhaps a summary of your stance on players.
