Mini 1344: Murder on the HMS Regalia - Game Over

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

@Malakittens - I think your av is causing me seizures

[Phillammon]

What can I say, shotgun. Random.org dislikes you, apparently.

As for the avatar, this is relevant.

caught up...vote staying

[Malakittens]

Why the vote on me? Just asking?

[brundibar]

Phil, Shotgun, good to see you guys again.

This is going to be an interesting game to say the least.

VOTE: Trollie

No really. It's really driving me insane too, and whenever I try to read something you wrote (or someone else wrote that is in close vicinity to your post - as in shows up on the same screen), my eyes keep dashing back and forth, and I'm getting dizzy. I would love it if you change it to a none-gif.

Agreed. People on the site are not going to look kindly upon it.

[Malakittens]

Sorry Trollie I missed the reasoning off my phone.
For my avatar.. I was asked to get one and then every single one of my customized avatars that I have gotten made for my other site wouldn't take due to sizes and I'm not wanting to ruin a quality made avatar to re-size. If it helps pressing "esc" will stop the avatar from moving. -.-

Oh my. 20 years surfing the internet and I just learned that today.

[Phillammon]

*ESC* *ESC* *ESC* *ESC* *ESC* *ESC*

Nothing doing on opera. What browser does it work on?

[Malakittens]

Firefox, Chrome & IE.
I only learned it recently too. My other site someone has a pokemon avatar that moves in an annoying fashion and someone was like I accidentally pressed "Esc" and it freezes in place! We laughed at how she found out, but it works for us there. :p

[TheTrollie]

It isn't working for me on chrome

As far as I know, Zombie isn't a role; I hope that's clear. Also, I was

totally

breadcrumbing my role of Chris Redfield.

What I am thinking we can do is jail someone who we don't want the scums to kill. Like, a confirmed townie or something, if we ever get one. Though that will highly not happen on Day1.

I don't know. I actually think it's

better

to not Jail anyone on Day1, because we might try to jail someone which will trigger a PR claim, which we definitley don't want on Day1.

Since jailing lasts only for one night and is non-fatal, someone about to be jailed on D1 hopefully won't actually claim; it's not nearly as threatening as being lynched. However, we still probably shouldn't jail today or at all until we have a good reason to. Not only does this stop us from accidentally blocking PRs, we also won't ever run into the situation where we decide we need to jail someone except we can't because we jailed them randomly the previous night.

I don't think anyone was serious about zombie being a role. I see no reason to believe it is.

[Malakittens]

Well.. In my other ROMS game we refer to the players that the nexus brings back as Zombies. >.> Why I was actually wondering if zombies was a role play, joke or what not.

[Ser Arthur Dayne]

Thank you Kitty

Also, RVS is dragging out. Let's throw some stuff out there:

Thinking image knows something we don't.

Why do you think that is a bad thing (I'm assuming you do because you voted for him right after)?

Claim: basically a vanilla townie.

I found this post odd.

And all that about Zombies? What's that about?

If you think it's odd, why isn't your vote there? I mean, RVS is for when you don't find anything suspicious, but the first second you do, your vote should be jumping there, even for whatever little reason. You won't be pressuring anyone by throwing a completely random vote in the air, and then calling other behavior 'odd' and not acting on it, so why didn't you vote?

Claim: basically a vanilla townie.

I found this post odd.

And all that about Zombies? What's that about?

Yes, I was wondering the same.. It just didn't make sense.

And why isn't your vote there? Same thing as above.

[Malakittens]

Because if this claim is real why risk killing off a townie.. If it's not well time will tell about the truth of the claim. I normally hate voting/lynching D1, it's just something I always have done and I'm not really want to go against my own policy here. I hate lynching on D1 because I would hate to lynch a role holder before they have the chance to use their role.

Nexus: role brings the dead back for a day cycle. I assumed that maybe Image threw out some type of hint on a role. It's funny though we call them zombies (After the nexus brings them back) where I come from.

Ser you make it seem like you enjoy pressure votes. Is that to role fish a role out on D1? Honestly you are acting type of scum like. >.> I don't agree with pressure votes on Day 1.

Low Fos: Ser & Image.

If you are wondering here's a link where I normally Abstain, known as No Lynch here. That game though had insanity cost, but I still ended up voting towards my usual policy: no lynch.

I did not think it merited a vote. I pointed it out so that everyone was aware of it.

However, I was told on my first game to vote more often. I guess I could have voted for espionage and it would have added pressure to him. I guess the chance is gone now.

That usually doesn't hold up here. These games are balanced such that no lynching on day one is usually a bad idea for town.

[Phillammon]

Meta here is usually to vote fairly randomly until you have a coherent idea of who the scum are, or at least who you want lynched in some extreme cases, at which point you put together cases and vote with intent. No lynching at all tends to be fairly bad idea unless an even number of players remain at the later stages and we're having an odd number of deaths each night.

[Malakittens]

Well even if you pointed a gun to my head and said you were going to shoot I still wouldn't vote. I been playing these types of games for over a year now and I have never once voted on D1. This surely isn't going to change now. Either way my one non vote won't matter if we get majority to vote for someone. I'll still watch the thread and point out when I think someone is acting scum like or who's acting town and why I think that.. >.>

[Phillammon]

Trust me, I'm not complaining, but I thought that filling you in on meta would probably be a good idea. For reference, it's probably safer not to vote rather than voting no lynch if you're going to do that, just to be safe from protracted no-lynch sniping, if that makes sense. Basically, we don't want to accidentally give scum a free kill.

[Malakittens]

Yes, I am starting to understand the meta a bit, but my concern is mostly that say I get into the habit of voting via D1 here and I accidentally do it over there that I'll be lynched there early for changing normal game play. I'll most likely not vote today. That's different than voting towards a no lynch btw. I just want to explain why I'm not voting incase everyone think I'm scum for doing it.

Okay, I'll drop it now.

[Espeonage]

Oh dear, this is going to be one of those games.

OK FIRST POINT: It might be the start of day one but I don't think that gives anyone permission to not use their heads.

Second point: Vote: Malakittens

You have started this game in the stereotypically scummy fashion of appearing overly nervous. You have commented on absolutely everything, and you keep repeating yourself every time someone says something you have agreed with. Already yuou are exhibiting IIoA with your refusal to follow up on alot of your 'ideas' which cooinceidentally seem to fit in with the bog standard neutral reading which is another sign of trying to artificially fit in. I think that's enough for now.

Now my claim. With a mechanic like Quarantine, I figured that everyone would be jumping to claim VT if they are in fact VT in the hope that it would mean that there is less likelihood of wasting it on someone that doesn't have a power. For the cynical ones, there are 'likely' to be goons who would also claim VT as it is the most safe claim to make, and goons also have nothing to do at night as kills are 'generally' a team thing meaning kills should go through regardless of quarantine. I want to make this point very clear so that we don't waste time early game in the case that a townie gets quarantined and scum think they're smart but no killing. This won't work until there is only 1 scum left.

Next point: Phill, NEVER I repeat, NEVER use an RNG to choose your rvs vote. The idea of the RVS is that people can start to get reads. But by RNGing your vote you effectively skip this and instead disassociate yourself from your vote which is anti-town. I won't be following this up yet, because Mala is already doing scummy stuffs, but bear it in mind for future games. You help literally noone.

And closing words, No I'm not a Ythan alt. I'm myself, I have my own alts. I just haven't played in quite a while. Uni9 semester and such things. My claim has been explained above.
