Can you link me to a KKB game where he didn't jump votes?
Because it seems exceedingly in character for him to me.

I am not talking about vote jumping... vote jumping is something different than wagon hopping both of which are null behaviors. However, in games such as http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=28450 no such behavior. Bounced around other games as well and had not noted the behavior but I looked at iso's on that game and quick glances do not demonstrate wagon hopping. He has not shifted his vote to wagon again yet so that remains to be seen. Just something sets me off... something doesn't fit quite right

Sweet - I never claimed it was logical, all I said was it was site meta to do so.
My evidence is in this thread.
But feel free to go and find me a Day 1 Miller claim where the Miller claimed as part of their first post and was then lynched anytime in the next three days.
I'll wait.
I asked for this site meta... Can you show it?

-As far I knew, site meta is for you to claim opening post. Check. Then again, from what I recall is to simply treat you as any other player and go off of your play. NOT have you as confirmtown by any means whatsoever. Also for sometime following KK's infamous fake miller gambit win, meta was to lynch millers on site. Which I fucking agree with, and rather just yell at mods for being fucking pricks. Jesters Godfathers Cops... I thought this was a game of logic and wits, not random dice rolls.
ZZZ FARADAY
:!: .

-What inthread evidence? You saying its site meta.. thats not evidence.. I want the MD discussion that popular opinion has somehow shifted to treating miller claims as conftown. I mean thats mindfuckingly stupid. You yourself agree its not logical... so why the fuck even follow it?

Pretty much yes. It is day one..I think you're the type of player fully capable of trying to gambit miller claim. What awe inspiring case you looking for?

Yet you picked Casso with the predetermined idea that you'd get the Miller role, and you did get the Miller role.

(Also Thor what 4 other requests did you send, and was Casso your first pick, or first named?)

What do you think of what Tierce and Shadoweh said about this?

Anyway, I don't buy that the mods would have informed the miller about the presence of non-standard cops, so Thor's miller claim looks bogus,
- I'm a miller, but you could still investigate me as town.

Unvote
Vote Thor
This is the most bullshit vote I've EVER seen in my life.

ANY MILLER RETURNS TOWN TO NON-STANDARD COP ROLES, OR IT IS THEN NOT A MILLER BUT SOMETHING ELSE (ie a universal miller, a gravedigger, etc.)

Saying so is not giving additional information and suggesting this is like, blowing my fucking mind. I need to sit with this a bit because my initial reaction is to call zdenek scum for this because he's not a fucking idiot, but it might be kneejerk there.

This quadz wagon is lame. ooba is better. elle is town.

thor will sort itself out.
I believe I've seen it, but also, it's astonishing to me that this looks worse to you than anything else in the thread. What could possibly be alignment indicative about his misunderstanding even if you're completely right?

Expect me to accidentally wander into others' lines of questioning like this, I'm very oblivious about that strategy.

Its D1... lets do it.

no

Benny manages to make very slightly less sense than Zeddy - and that takes some doing.

I may be down with the ooba lulz wagon, but I'll admit the copping to the misrep actually feels townish. Ooba is certainly skilled enough that might be a feint to the growing pressure...but my gut kind of says town on that one too, so I think we can do better.
Let's lynch Benny for lulz, I like to lynch him Day 1 anyway.

I think it shows a mindset of looking to make the miller claim look bad, hoping that will result in a lynch, without really thinking about it. For example, he's ready to vote and declare Thor scum over something that he agreed after being criticized and looked at the wiki was not something pursuable. If you're going to vote for a role-based reason that would be cleared up by looking at the wiki, wouldn't you like ... look at the wiki FIRST, instead of after being called out on it?

It's meh, though. I'm going to keep observing on that score.

As long as you ignore my commentary that I think at least one scum would be trying to present my claim as a reason to lynch me, than - yes, my case is equally as unsupported as his.
Oh, wait, that was snark again, wasn't it?
Darn.
I'm bad at this.

In other news, Casso is blatantly my real name claim and needs to be analyzed in regards to my Miller claim from a guy claiming my role and alignment and whatnot aren't even connected.

You're allowed to sheep me and vote Benmage now.

Benmage: Trying to barge into a thread and establish comftown dominance seems like something people do here in general? Arguing that Thor is attempting the miller gambit because Thor claimed miller and.. that's it, makes you sound like a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist. His vote back on you is kind of omgusy but I think I'd react the same way. Is there something Thor's doing that's actually scummy for him? Same question to Zdenek since he's still holding onto the vote despite admitting the miller thing isn't a good reason.

Quadz, #487 is painful to read, quote strips in bolded quote strips why. The best defense is a good offense, but I'm not sure if I agree with it. I think reads are the only content that matter. That and thought patterns. The counter that's been brought up is ooba's thought patterns are reasonable to follow.

Amrun: If there's anything MS has taught me, it's that screaming about your scumread over and over actually does work to generate votes! Either on yourself or them, so go for broke!

It just kind of made my head explode. Like, omg, vote Thor because he has claimed that a miller works exactly the way a miller works! wut

Voting you because X doesn't think you're a miller, or whatever, is something else entirely.


In related news, I have no idea who Casso is. Someone refresh my memory?

p-edit:

I don't hesitate to scream about scumreads when my jimmies are rustled. I have to feel it in my bones and be on the warpath to feel like doing that. I feel like PnJ is the best vote right now for stated reasons, but I'm not ready to go all martial law on his ass just yet. I'm just going to organically comment on what strikes me about the game, and one of these days, someone will really rustle said jimmies and the fun will begin.

@ peaceperson

when you meta, what do you go by? kanye is town cos so far his posts come from a town POV. <----- scum can do this too and pull it off in the early stages of the game but I am thinking kanye might be town.

naut is town too, btw
