Dude I know you're here to have fun, and I respect that. But if you want to do nothing but talk about Star Wars, there's all of GD to do that.

For sure, I'm not AGAINST talking about Star Wars. I know that part of the fun of a theme game is bantering about the theme. But you have to also be playing the game.

Why'd you pick an ascetic role?

I didn’t want to play the game with the “unique mechanic”

In post 124, Dr Easy Bake wrote:If y’all dont like this, then the quickest way to get me to lay off the Star Wars talk (at least for the time being) is to get these lists to me. So far only Krazy, Vjörk and Xtoxm (once they answer me about the prequels) have obliged me.

The problem with that, DEB, is that I don't reward bad behavior.

You're new, and you're clearly just starting to learn what's acceptable and what's unacceptable on the site.

I'll save you some time. This is unacceptable.

Lol, bad behavior? You’re the only one who seems to have a problem with it. You’re starting to sound like the fun police. It’s early D1 in a STAR WARS THEMED GAME. I think it’s extremely relevant to find out everyone’s stance on the franchise. How is asking a question unacceptable?

Asking a question's not unacceptable, it's refusing to participate in the game at all until everyone answers that's the problem.

Like I said, I'm all for playing to have fun. But what you're doing is REFUSING to play in order to have fun. Go ahead and ask the question, banter about Star Wars to your heart's content. I have no issue at all with it... as long as you are playing the game at the same time.

It’s D1, what else am I supposed to do? I could argue that getting these opinions locked down IS playing the game you so desperately want me to. You never know what AI information will come from these lists and talks. Why are you wasting your time complaining about my actions and talking down to me? Does it make you feel high and mighty? Do you think you’re above Star Wars and the players who have had delightful conversations with me because of my request? Just give me your list. Are you afraid I won’t like your take on the franchise? I’m not here to judge what people think of Star Wars. This is a safe place Smart, you can talk to me, I’ll be your only friend.

He’s just asking for you to simultaneously play the game while waiting for people’s lists. That’s not a big ask

I don’t really watch Star Wars so you can just make up my list if you’d like. I don’t see how it’s extremely relevant to this game

In my experience on this site, if I don’t do something drastic people tend to ignore my questions. This whole thing is just wasting time. If everyone just gave me a list we could move on. It’s one post. I shouldn’t have to simultaneously “play the game” and get lists, because this shouldn’t take up much game time. Just put down your list and we can get back to your regularly scheduled programming.

So you’ve never seen any of them or you have and you didn’t like them?

It’s Star Wars themed game, of course it’s relevant.

Well, that's the eternal question of mafia, isn't it.

For sure, it can be possible to read into fluff posting. But I don't really think that's what you were trying to do, because you pretty clearly suggested that you'll get into more game-related content once you finish with this.

Sorry if you think I'm talking down to you, I admit that my tone was harsher than it needed to be. I certainly don't think any less of you as a person, but like I said, I don't think you've quite grasped the team element of mafia yet.

You signed up to play a game. You should be playing it, no ifs ands or buts.

I think I’ve seen the first two movies but I don’t remember much about them

I think that’s just flavor. It’s still a booneytoonz mafia game at its core

I picked this game because I wanted a regular mafia game like it was advertised as

But why waste the time at all? Just jump in and start playing. Try to get in people's heads, figure out how they might think as town or scum, ask probing questions.

Yeah, there's a phase at the beginning of the game where there is no information. But the way we get out of that phase is just by trying to create information. That attempt, in itself, creates information.

Ugh, more words from Smart that could have been a helpful little list...
I’m here, I’m talking. That’s playing the game in my book. Like I said, you never know what AI information is going to come from this. I don’t think Star Wars talk should be considered fluff in a Star Wars themed game.

Thank you! I’ll mark you down as indifferent.

And how is my request not trying to create information? The argument between us is the time waster, not the lists.
The way someone feels about Star Wars says a lot about their personality/life. This is good knowledge to find out.

how dare we have fun whilst playing a game right? fuck us.
it's page 6 of a star wars themed game, theres going to be some star wars discussion.

Despite my best efforts to be clear, you misunderstand me. I have no issue with Star Wars discussion. I have issue with him holding it over everyone's head like a carrot on a stick.

Also, DEB, this discussion IS game-related. It's not a waste of time. In addition to hopefully helping you become a better player (and maybe helping me become more tolerant as well), it should be producing content off which we both can be read.

Oh I see now X. That’s cool, it’s not everyday you see a prequel lover. I agree about Awakens, looked great and I was happy to have Star Wars back in my life but I wanted something new as well. I get why they did what they did. They were trying to get a whole new generation of fans involved, people who weren’t invested in the product already. Just in doing that they disappointed a lot of long time fans.
