Vote count 1.02

Did you know:
Only NBA player to kill a lion with a spear
Manute Bol, 1985-86 to 1994-95
One thing is beyond dispute: Manute Bol is the greatest 7-foot-7 center from Sudan to play in the NBA. At 15, the Dinka herdsman killed a marauding lion with his spear while it lay sleeping -- a feat his agent noted during his contract negotiations.

@DonJosh: Do you think scum tend to be more jumpy than town?

Yes. Jumpiness is caused by paranoia.
This is a weird question. I don't like it. It's just so... out of place.

[Shattered Viewpoint]

Two quick housekeeping questions:
1. What timezone are you from?
2. How often do you intend to post?

Pacific (the only Proper time zone.)

At least once per RL Day. More if you're lucky.

Vote: Xalxe

[Xalxe]

That's it? You have nothing else to say at all?

[vijay2vasandani]

That's it? You have nothing else to say at all?

Dude he's SV, of course he has nothing else to say.

[Vadinci]

Just hopping on saying I'm miserably trying to "last minute learn" for an exam. I will catch up tomorrow afternoon (GMT+1 here) when hopefully I passed it.
apologies

Give me your read of The Acting Method. In detail. You have danced around it and your overall vibe is really weird.



Quaroath, I see you're taking one of my ideas for votecounts. Glad to see it spreading.

[Shattered Viewpoint]

That's it? You have nothing else to say at all?

Oh, I have lots to say.

Patience, child.

[Xalxe]

Detail? He's scummy. Sorry Amrun, but there's three pages, and that's not a lot.

[Amrun]

Why did you feel the need to make a distinction between "this post is scummy" and "the poster making this post is scummy?"

[Xalxe]

I don't recall clearly making that distinction wait yes I do.

One post does not a mafia member make. Several in succession? Do.

[Amrun]

What I find very scummy about your posts - even scummier than The Acting Method's - is that you corrected someone to make clear that you didn't say The Acting Method was scummy, giving yourself technical wiggling room. It was unnatural and stiff.

[Xalxe]

Sorry, but that actually wasn't my attempt to provide wiggle room at all, just my correcting a minor difference that I found.

[Amrun]

Why did you perceive that as a mental difference, though, and especially one worthy of pointing out? More than that, it was the way you pointed it out.

I do find The Acting Method scummy as well, but I don't think it's super likely at this point that you two would be scum together. Time will tell.

[Voidedmafia]

To be frank, though, I don't see where his scummines is.

Since you mentioned he had several posts in succession that you feel are scummy, could you link to them?

[Xalxe]

https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... er_sort=Go

[Amrun]

Why are you being so purposefully non-helpful?

[Voidedmafia]

Specific posts, Xalxe. -_-

Not to mention that you can still at LEAST give one or two sentences of reasoning for why each post is scummy.

[Xalxe]

Sorry, snippy because I was in class.

Anyway, I don't want to do a wall 'o text, because nobody reads them, but I will anyway.

[Xalxe]

Hello everyone.

Two quick housekeeping questions:
1. What timezone are you from?
2. How often do you intend to post?

And since we have the very cooperative Amrun with us that leaves us with 12 lynchables, so by taking a d12 and rolling it

vote: Tajun

I got 9 so That's my RVS.

Oh and to answer my questions: 1. Pacific Standard Time. 2. As often as I can.

RQS, which I have already stated is scummy and bad.

Yeah, but really, I did that for my other two games. Felt like spicing it up.

And Really? I don't think that was worthy of a second vote during RVS stage.

There was a third Question Matt.

Reacts poorly to having votes placed upon his person.

It's the connection I made between your vote for me and your post above.

Okay, I'll try to avoid it. Just my last two games devolved for me into a discussion of my site I used to belong too's meta, which I only mentioned once in the more recent case (the earlier case I fell into it and was complaining about it.) so I'm trying to break away from bringing up my meta, Both were mentioned in RQS stage at first (reason I joined the site, to escape the meta I had on the site I came from.)

PREEDIT: Really? Because I disagree; but then, that my point of view...

Claims he is refraining from bringing up meta. Which he did one post earlier.

Also only 4 posts? Wow. I didn't think there were so few.

[Voidedmafia]

5, actually.

quote 1: RQS being good or bad is subjective, so I won't arge that.

quote 2: and you think that's worse than Deas' reaction to him being called out?

quote 3: Correction. He says he'll try to avoid doing it in the future, rendering your point null.

[DeasVail]

I thought the defending himself with meta after two RVS votes was pretty scummy. Other than that, I just get a feeling that he could be scum. I can't really see anyone else as scum at the moment.

@Voided What was I called out on? Changing my vote?

[vijay2vasandani]

VOTE: Amrun
You could have tricked the mod into thinking you are innocent. I got my eye on you scum XD

GMT

I post whenever I can.

I've played about 13ish games on Mafiascum, and one game off site.

VOTE: vijay

Weird name much?

T^T

VOTE: whispersilk

That'll teach you to make fun of my name. XD


Now on to the serious stuffs, I just wanted to get my joke votes in so when anybody uses the VC history thing they won't think this next one is completely random.

You don't think that was worthy of a second vote during RVS stage?

Are you serious?

It's RVS! Surely I can change my vote if I want.

Play, here DV (can I call you that?) admits that the actions of whoever it was is worthy of a second vote. This implies a slight seriousness to his vote imo. Yet he also says that he can change his random vote if he wants to.

Two problems are that these statements, while not direct, slightly contradict each other. Also, if DV had what he(she?) thought was a valid reason, he should have brought us out of RVS because only scum benefit from prolonged RVS. Sure its been 3 pages or so, but he should be taking steps to ensure it if he was lrotown.

@Tajun I don't see why I need great reasoning to change a RV.

Let's just say my vote on Acting is more serious than my vote on Xalxe and I think his reaction to me could be from scum.

Hmmm, I shouldn't need reasoning because it isn't a serious vote, yet he could possibly be scum tbh. Lol fencesitting and a bit of lolgic(i should trademark that).

I was confused as to why someone would claim that the reason behind a vote change in RVS was not worthy.

@DonJosh: Do you think scum tend to be more jumpy than town?

Okay, what? The reason for a vote change is either serious, aka worthy or random. So if it is a random vote then the reasons are not worthy. If there is a reason, then it isn't random. Please stop pussyfooting.around.

VOTE: DeasVeal

Sorry if my grammar or spelling is off, I'm still not at 100%. Cheers guys.

[The Acting Method]

I think it was being called out for the perceived logic behind it.

Xaxle, you may see RQS as a scum tell, but to me it's a null tell, especially when the questions I asked are essentially me saying "Hey, should I expect to have to wait for answers to any actual questions that I may ask or could I expect more frequent and hopefully more content filled posts."

I don't see how the questions that I asked are scum tells, can you explain that one?

And that is very interesting Vj...
