Mini 1778 — BuzzFeed UPick Mafia — Game Over

[Nahdia]

and no, I'm not going to wait for something to happen to preemptively call it out. i don't want more people pledging, and from this point on im going to assume everyone who does really just wants desperately to coast. there's a difference between pledging post 1 of a game and pledging on page 3, believe it or not.

[Maestro]

It's a fun new mechanic. I'm a huge fan of fun new mechanics. As I said in the PT, this early? If we've pledged, it's for funsies. I don't entirely believe you had as much/many reasons as you are purporting to have. Or maybe you have a similar / linked shiny new mechanic, idgaf. I don't. Come at me.

I'm not being flippant; that's how it made me feel and I don't have a reason for feeling "ew", I just do. Do you want me to try to pontificate and muse on the WIFOM you spew by saying "I have reasons" when really all I felt on reading it was "ew"? that seems silly

PEDIT: I disagree

...and so far I'm not coasting hon, so come at me harder but all this will do is turn this into a 1v1 where I have to post in two places and neither of us wants that

[Nahdia]

lmfao Maestro comes into the PT, sees that RC is townreading me, and instantly starts painting me as scum for everything i've done so far. and then follows it up with townreading RC for literally no reason.

if I could vote I sure do know where that vote would go~~~~~~~~

see, this is a perfectly good reason. and this is what you could have just given me when i asked for your reasons. but instead you had to be DIFFICULT.

[Maestro]

UUUUUH I'm not painting anything, I'm responding to what you're posting

@Marq: can I quote from the PT?

because I want to be able to show that 77 is BS

PEDIT: A- I heavily implied my pledge was for funsies in my opening post in the PT, before you asked why I had pledged
B- I gave my reason to you in the very next post, which I was working on as you "called me out" for not giving the reason?

[Nahdia]

Pledge Allegiance to the flag of RC

or whatever

This should be fun :3

HE HATH SPOKEN

HIS WORD IS LAW

i have my own reasons

but pledging your vote is also a pretty good way of getting out of that responsibility day 1.

The bolded makes me go "ew"

As for "getting out of responsibility", I entirely disagree. I'm still perfectly able to have my own opinions and lobby (for lack of a better word) RC's vote, both in this thread and in the PT. I'm not just going to tune out. Say shit like that once it happens, not as a preemptive exercise or because you feel like getting paranoid. That's what others are doing to

you

about

your

pledge of allegiance.

wowie none of these posts give a reason for pledging! and no, saying "This should be fun :3" doesn't imply anything lol.

[BROseidon]

VOTE: Maestro

Actually this looks interesting.

[Clumsy]

@gamma, why did you dislike Clumsy proposing that idea, but ignored when I said it?

What makes mine nothing and his scum? Not sure I like that trail of thought.

Wait, did you guys actually think that was a serious proposition?

aight i'll bite

Pledge Loyalty

to Generalissimo RadiantCowbells

town spotted

I wouldn't go so far as to say that this is necessarily indicative of town. I haven't gotten any bad vibes from Nahdia yet, but it's an easy way of being rid of the responsibility behind your vote. No one that is pledged has to directly answer for their vote. Easy way to lurk without lurking. I'd be wary of anyone doing it and then going quiet.

Why do you dislike RC's post and like kuribo's? I'm inclined to like them both (both making a good point), and they both have PRs that are ~probably~ town PRs.

If there's a lengthy conversation/argument about 'but possibly prs tho' on page 3 of the game instead of just ignoring it and talking about who's scummy for the things they're doing (yes i know basically nothings happened yet but it's the principle of the thing) you'll make me the saddest person. please don't make me the saddest person.

That didn't actually answer the question. I'm wondering the same here, and you dodged it by talking about the second half.


I feel like I'm missing a lot in this game because I don't know anyone besides Nahdia. I've seen a few games you guys have been in, but I haven't really paid attention to how each person specifically plays. I think I'll need to go read a game or two from everyone.

P-edit like an entire page: RC could just confirm one way or the other, no need to hedge on the rules here.

[RadiantCowbells]

I think Maestro and Nahdia are both town as of now.

[RadiantCowbells]

Still think Clumsy is scum.
Strongly suspect that Broseidon is scum as well.

[RadiantCowbells]

Like the whole making a show of voting, unvoting because L-1, then jumping on this shiny new Nahdia vs Maestro fight just feels horrible and like scumbuddy-scumbuddy interaction.

[RadiantCowbells]

VOTE: Broseidon

Let's start here.

[kuribo]

I wouldn't go so far as to say that this is necessarily indicative of town.

My logic is as follows:

If Nahdia were scum and RC is town, she'd probably hesitate turning her vote over THAT early, not knowing if it was going to end up dog-piling a scumbuddy.

If Nahdia were scum and RC were scum with her, she'd probably not want to tie herself to RC that quickly.

It isn't a matter of what she did, it was the timing.

[Aristophanes]

Hey all!
I love this playerlist! I'd like to think you all joined because I was here, as I had the prein

This pledging thing is interesting!
The question is whether it would be a town or scum mechanic. I'm more inclined to believe the former, and so far RC hasn't seemed scummy to me, so I'm happy with him so far!

Nahdia (which I spelled correctly, double checked to make sure) is probably town for her immediate pledge. I doubt that scum would be so excited about the prospect.
Maestro I have yet to get a good read on. He pledged, which is more likely from town imo. But I didn't like this post:

UUUUUH I'm not painting anything, I'm responding to what you're posting

@Marq: can I quote from the PT?

because I want to be able to show that 77 is BS

He knows damn well you can't quote PTs. I have never seen a game where you can. I dislike the posturing here.
@RC, I know you townlean both of them, but was Maestro trying to paint Nadhia as scum while buddying up to you in the PT?

Like the whole making a show of voting, unvoting because L-1, then jumping on this shiny new Nahdia vs Maestro fight just feels horrible and like scumbuddy-scumbuddy interaction.

RC, who is Bro a scumbuddy with here? I don't get it.

Mastin's Bane

I'm calling you this from now on.

I know it's still early and RVS is freshly ended, but I dislike Bro's noncommittal voting. It feels like he's just going from vote to vote willy-nilly. 2 RVS votes, a Clumsy vote, unvote, then pressure vote on me, and a vote on Maestro because it "look interesting." I get the feeling he doesn't really care where it ends up.
VOTE: Bro

This game is gonna be a bitch to VCA

Ninja'd
Yeah, I agree with Mastin's Bane here.

[Marquis]

@Marq: can I quote from the PT?

You may

not

directly quote from any game private topics. In general, attempts to prove or manipulate details of private communication or trackable external work (links to spreadsheets, docs, etc.) is a bad idea.

I have amended my rules to clarify that for this game and future games I run. Thanks!

Hi guys

[RadiantCowbells]

Why haven't you pledged allegiance to me yet?

[Nahdia]

@gamma, why did you dislike Clumsy proposing that idea, but ignored when I said it?

What makes mine nothing and his scum? Not sure I like that trail of thought.
