Open 538: Diffusion of Power (Game Over)

[Mr_Blonde]

Vote: Wake88

(L-2)

Let's see what happens.

Prod dodge, back tomorrow.

Meh.

Sort of like the L-2 vote to prompt a reaction from Wake.

Null.

[Mr_Blonde]

@DBK: I find 34 interesting. Kalimar is just visiting here to vote Wake (to -2 as he mentioned). It's also nice you remember me...

@ETL:
Null: Mr_Blonde, Smudger and aptil because almost nothing to read.
Scummy: Gam and Kalimar leaning scum (more or less) because I cannot see reasoning behind some of their votes except wagoning.
Nothing: KBW, simply no posts...

I didn't include either Cheery Dog or lucky, I'm not decided where to put them yet.

@Lucky and ETL:
To clarify:
Null is 'no useful or very useless activity'
Nothing is 'no activity to even start with'
And the uncategorized category is 'a slight idea, but nothing major'

I'm sorry if this confuzzles you, but that just happens sometimes. I'm not sure if it's me giving more mainstream names to my obscure categories, translation mistakes or something completely different.

@DBK: I don't feel this is 100% out of RVS yet. Half of the players are under 10 posts and something. I consider RVS more than just "random" stage of the game (None of the votes are

never truly

random). My "RVS" is can be described as the time to get the game rolling properly. Like in the scum/null/nothing/wth case above, lines I draw are never straight.

Kalimar & gam, who's scummier? With only 1 post from K, I have to choose gam. That contradiction with 114 and 115.

I could vote Zebe for these two posts.

1st quote: You list Gam and Kalimar as your scum reads because you don't see a reason for their votes besides wagoning? Why is that necessarily scummy?

2nd quote: You list Gam as scummier than Kalimar because he has more posts, but you keep your vote on Kalimar.

[Does Bo Know]

Zebe randomly saying one of top 4 posters is scum and then voting one is scummy as shit.

Yeah it gives him an out if/when I flip town.

I actually like Aptil for scum too now that you've drawn attention to that stuff. At least the most likely one out of the four lurkers.

I'm cool with a wagon on Zebe or Aptil right now. Preferably Zebe, but if you guys wanna wagon Aptil to get her to post then I'll join that.

I'll keep Wake in the back of my thoughts for Zebe's flip.

[Smudger]

DBK I dont want to labor this too long but you really have not answered my question. You say "classic town Smudger" I ask how you would know, meaning I took from your statement you were basing your comment on previous knowledge of my games, your answer does not address that you say we played in one game as town together, ok I recall that, so from that one game you get "classic town Smudger"? ok then.
..................

Mr. Blonde your comment surrounding the DBK ETL buddying, in that when ETL calls him out he acknowledges it makes you feel better about him, I don't see why. Why would it make you feel better?

and then of course he, DBK, falls in love with you, ain't that sweet.

What I will say is that DBK is consistent with the " I am no good a mafia line" he has used it before to my knowledge on two occasions. as he has this line:

I wanna say about 70% of the times I'm called scum when I'm town, I'm accused of it because of buddying.

DBK do you think the two might the related? really is there a slight possibility? Nice cover though.

With so many AWOL its hard to get any real reads in this game. I currently read town on ETL and Wake. Why Wake? already said; take away the battle with ETL and DBK and he is actually contributing. Zebe and Mr Blonde are null right now with BB leaning town. If we are gong to lynch an inactive then any of the current candidates are good in my book, I think they need to POST! all of them.

I read DBK and Gam as scum.

BTW Classy recent posts ETL.... [/sarcasm]

BB and others there were some minor questions for you in my big post.

[Mr_Blonde]

@ Smudge - Regarding DBK/ETL and their lovefest: As I stated in my earlier post I find it more common for scum to allow Townies to buddy up to them. In DBK's 285 he acknowledges that ETL calling him out for following her makes her conf-Town in his eyes. This makes me feel better about him because it tells me that he was waiting to see if it happened or not. IE: if ETL continued to let DBK tie himself to her then she could be scum securing a later mislynch dependent on her flip.

Also, you'll notice me addressing his new-found infatuation in 395.

[Does Bo Know]

I just like players

That make sense

And echo things I have been saying

[Smudger]

I did notice

And echo things I have been saying

Bo, seriously? I don't see anyone "echoing"what you are saying, unless of course that is an echo of your echo of them......

[Cheery Dog]

^^^^THIS guy knows what's up.

Yep DBK is still scum.

Looks like you need to make a new friend since etl noticed your sheeping.

[Does Bo Know]

404 was an echo of something I had said earlier in thread as far as why ETL shouldn't be scum.

BBmolla agreed when he was saying how worthless a lot of Wake's posting is.

I just feel like when some players are thinking exactly what I'm thinking, they're probably town with me.

Nope.

I just exaggerate how much I like people.

[BBmolla]

Point me to them

[Smudger]

62 BB, would agree with this in that it is not relevant to his alignment. But a question came to mind, Wake is not a Newbie and so his reaction could be controlled could it not?

67 BB, this at the time of reading is a true statement but It is a gamble all the same and DBK does cover this in his post 68 and again in 85 but then I want to tie this into later observations regarding DBK.

although the second part is an observation not a question

[BBmolla]

Possibly? Depends on his past experiences with being called a cop guilty.

[Smudger]

hmmm, Hypothetically how do you think you would react, as town that is.

[aptil]

I have been away . I am back now . Just skimmed through the thread now . I will address the following two posts right now and go back and read through in some time .

#98 is so bad Lucky . There is enough content for you to comment on . Instead you go and do a random vote .

Your taking that wholly out of context and THAT is bad. Are you just trying to misrep me or did you skim the interaction between me and ETL instead of reading it?

I was not mis-representing you . This post came after #97 where you mention you are caught up to this game but you did not think any of that was woth any content and instead go back to random voting . Even if it was sarcasm or whatever , we were not in random stage by then and you deciding to have us go to random votes seemed silly to me .

Jesus fuck this is a ton of stuff to slog through.

UNVOTE: BB

Originally I didn't buy the N0 Cop claim considering the Wiki says PRs will be designated randomly for Nights 1-5. Additionally, why add the further pressure of a guilty viewing to a player that was already gaining a few RVS votes? Anyway, he reads better from where I stopped.

Liking ETL. Where are you from btw? I posted this morning and since have been busy, but alas I am home. Technically it's still 'tonight' as I said I would be posting earlier.

On re-read Lucky stands out for the dice-roller vote thing. Aptil's response to it I didn't like much considering he was attacking Lucky for not voting someone based on the previous content when he hadn't as well. VOTE: aptil

I give-up on the re-read. I'll be more active now that I'm back with my laptop and my schedule will be considerably less busy for the time being.

Well my vote was on wake in the random stage . The reaction of Wake on the cop gambit was way cool than i have seen him play before . Even if he knew the thing was fake he had too many votes on him and i have seen him blow up when he gets that close to a lynch as a townie . To me that did not make me think he was town automatically so my vote remained unchanged . So i didn't think i needed to change my RVS vote at that time .

[aptil]

Quick question : Is BBMolla the same person on westeros mafia board ?

[Kalimar]

Ketchup time!

Wake's reaction to the cop gambit was boring, more boring than I'd hoped for. I heuristically want to say BB is leaning Town for conducting the gambit to begin with, though, so that's something.

Gamsimbre's 114 is weird because he chooses to agree with Wake's assertion and then Lucky's attackers simultaneously. It's like he's trying to get on everyone's good side and I don't like that.

Aptil's 121 is bad because it's hypocritical. Aptil hadn't commented on any of the content Lucky is supposed to have done himself.

@Zebe (146) - I voted Wake there to see how he'd react to the pressure of a wagon. There was very little reaction, so I was underwhelmed. Relatedly; why did you unvote me when you did and not try to keep up the pressure for when I returned? I know you said you didn't want to wait, but sometimes you have to to get the results you want.

I like Mr Blonde's 254, he came to the same view on Aptil as I did.

Cheery Dog's 318 worries me, the level of confidence gamsimbre is Town on what is later revealed to be just one post probably means that if Cheery is Mafia, gam is actually Town.

I need to put some effort in to reading the higher volume posters at some point, but I can already tell with Wake it's going to be hard.

[Mr_Blonde]

What gives you the scum read on DBK?

[Mr_Blonde]

@ aptil - Do you still like your vote on Wake?

[Wake1]

Skimming, I noticed this.

Wake: 69 < DKB: 119

Fifty post difference.

[Does Bo Know]

Cool

[Mr_Blonde]

That's a skewed number considering PCs don't also count the number of characters in said posts.

@ Wake - Did you see my question in 383?

One more thing that should be noted is that, of all my posts, less than 5 are large. That's the problem with his comment.

I'll check it.

[Does Bo Know]

He's not even scum reading you yet. Why is checking your post quality more important than this scumhunting you were going to do?
