And why would you want this game over quickly? I play this game to win, not for it to end without doing everything I can to try to win.

I'm also playing to win ... but considering the activity level of this game it's not possible at this point to win through good play and logical deduction. Personally if we lynched Draux and he turned out to be a Jester at least I would have learned something and this tiresome game would be over.

Awe crub I almost want to give you a hug. :(
This game seems about as normal as the rest. Little talk. Very little said. months of talk. Blah, blah, blah. Tell you what if by next week things don't pick up I'm with you. :wink:

I'm okay. I found a couple of deadlined games. I noticed those go well and are chatty enough, but not overwhelming. I'm just going for my 3 month stint and plan on modding.
Anyways game mode:
Not too much going on still. Would like to hear from those who haven't even done the random vote. Hopefully after holiday we will have some activity.
GO TOWN PEOPLE!!

This is the longest randomvoting phase I've ever seen. I was serious about the post I got voted for. Let's discuss mass-claiming or lurkerhunting, because else we get no where. (Randomly chooses farside) Farside, what do you think about voting lurkers, and what do you think about massclaiming in this game?

My personal opinion: lurkerhunting only makes sense if you think someone is lurking without any real life issues, so only to avoid discussion, while just posting enough not to get replaced. Massclaiming: in this game I think it would have less of an impact than in other theme games, because we don't know which characters are town and which ones are not, but as long as there is no good reason we should never mass-claim.

Let's ignore the suggestion of lurker hunting there (a scumtell in and of itself) for now and look at the bigger problem in this post.

So, instead of having people give their opinions on who might be scum (aka "scumhunt") you want us to discuss theory? That's not just a case of Information Instead of Scumhunting (IIoS) - one of the biggest scumtells in my book (it was the tell that let me nail Theo in Stargate SG-1) - that's advocating that the entire town act in such a way that perpetuates that tell (obscuring scummy behavior and distracting the town from scumhunting). That's some Seriously Scummy behavior there. Dare I suggest the obvious - namely, that you're advocating pro-scum behavior because you are, in fact, scum?

I really like my vote where it is at the moment.

I sometimes don't like mass lurking by people, and this might turn in to that. But saying we just should attack all lurkers, On a holiday in the US no less, is just stupid. A massclaim could possibly work, but I think that the names could allow scum to narrow down who has what power possibly.

Wow, I first thought you were joking with your vote on me, but it seems you're serious. If you are able to hunt scum with the discussion we've had until now, I'd say you're the best player on mafiascum. Other players can't give their opinion on who is scum because we haven't had a good discussion yet! (besides Draux's "claim") I am trying to start a discussion about these subjects, and that does not mean I want the town to massclaim or hunt lurkers obviously. And how am I advocating pro-scum behaviour? Discussing these subjects seems to me like a good way to find scum, and unless you have a better idea I'd like your opinion too. Now it might seem to me that you don't want the town to have something to discuss.

See Tar, do you find this pro-scum behaviour which I advocated? It does help the town to discuss things like this, for example to spot inconsistency when we want to massclaim in endgame or something, or when nobody does so while they did before. I'd like to be clear about this though: I am in no way saying we should massclaim or hunt lurkers, I only want to hear other's opinion on it so we have something to discuss. If everybody has the same opinion though, then it has less use.

Well this got chatty. Thanks for putting yourself out there Lawrencelot. :lol:
I really am going to be honest I don't have an oppinion on whether lynching lurkers is good or bad or whether someone mentioning it as a posible tool is scum or not. I have seen a few games where the scum were lurkers and some where they were active. It doesn't seem a good basic's to go on especially when the Mod replaces them.
As for role claiming I say bad. Well not bad for a vanilla character such as myself because I am no one special. :cry:. Besides we really don't know what power roles there are in the game and have no way of knowing if someone is telling the truth. Bad Draux no biscut. :wink:
I didn't see where the votes were at before I posted so I will
FOS Lawrencelot

Happy Thanksgiving to those who are celebrating!!

Heh.
"lets not lynch someone for lurking unless they're doing it in a scummy way"
"we shouldn't mass claim unless there's a good reason to mass-claim"

What possible other opinion's could you voice? Let's lynch the first lurker we come across? Let's all just mass-claim for the fun of it?

In my experience, watching the thread without contributing, and then when you do contribute you just say something inherently pro-town = scummy behaviour. See your opinion on lurking for further explanation of my vote.

Also we're now discussing something so mission accomplished.

: I FOS: for a couple of reasons. 1 you voted against me to get answers that seems a bit devious or threatening don't you think. Plus I think you asking people what they think is a good thing however you haven't really stated what you think or why. Why would lynching a lurker be a good thing? Why would people want to reveal there power in this game.
Seriously I'm surprised no one mentioned the fact that two people died at night which probably means there is scum and a SK. Anyone know who would want to kill the two that died?

Of course there are other opinions. One could say that he never votes for a lurker, no matter the situation, because it's up to the mod to prod him. Or someone could say that he always votes a lurker if the lurker is not pressured yet and there is no better candidate for a vote. You cannot say I'm not contributing, I'm a very active player right now and there are people who didn't post at all this day. We finally have some discussion going on though, so apart from the votes on me I'm happy with it.

Where did I vote you? I only asked a question to you, to make sure at least somebody would answer my questions. And I also gave my opinion didn't I? There might be people who think voting lurkers or mass-claiming is good, discussing it might lead us to find the scum.
farside wrote:Seriously I'm surprised no one mentioned the fact that two people died at night which probably means there is scum and a SK. Anyone know who would want to kill the two that died?
Good question. Two scumgroups is also possible, but I think an SK is indeed more likely in a mini game. I don't know the dead players very well, so I'm not sure why scum targeted them. There wasn't much information D1 though, so it was probably more random than in a normal game with day-start.
