I am not asking you to do that. I am asking you to proofread posts you make to make sure they make sense. I don't like how you automatically resort to sarcasm and threats when I make a comment on your posting. I am giving you suggestions on how to make your posts more readable.

Shanba is not attempting to justify his vote in retrograde, which is more neutral than scummy to me. While an unexplained or whimsical vote is certainly anti-town, Shanba shows very little concern for its appearance. His vote on Mizz's wagon would garner more attention from me if he
had
attempted to build a case from her limited presence, or if he was perturbed by seeming anti-town.So high, so low, so many things to know.

You are obviously clueless or overly paranoid. Where did I say ANYTHING about you and this particular L-1 vote? I am certain that what I quoted had nothing to do with you. What I was responding to was the question of what I thought about mizzmafia making a claim when at L-1. Go make a mountain out of a mole hill and involve yourslef in something that has nothing to do with you. Oh, wait.. you just did. Wake up numbnuts.dean harper wrote: and his going along with corvuus' error on the L-1 thing about me without even checking.

My bad. I was under the impression that you were speaking about corvuus' post, which was right above yours for some reason.freeko wrote:You are obviously clueless or overly paranoid.

About the "mountain out of a molehill" comment, sometimes it is very beneficial for the town to involve yourself in something that you were not part of. I make comments on things that I see relating to myself, and on things that seem scummy/anti-town. In this case, I was wrong about it being related to me, and it was not a scummy comment.
Please stop insulting me. I make mistakes. I'm sorry. This game has unfortunately jumbled a lot of those mistakes together very closely.

I'm not following this. Are you voting for Dean Harper because he's the scummiest or are you asking Corv who he thinks is the scummiest while voting for Dean for some other reason?Shanba wrote: Corvuus: who is the scummiest player in the game?
Vote: Dean Harper
Which is why I suspect some combination of you (L-2), Slicey (L-1) and Master Ruck (the claim request) are role-fishing.freeko wrote: Under general circumstances it seems fairly standard around L-1 or L-2 that people end up claiming.
Dean Harper's point about Corvuus talking about a subset of the wagoners is valid. Corv presented concerns about Shanba (L-3), Freeko (L-2) and
Dean Harper
Master Ruck (the claim request). Yet, he (conveniently?) overlooked Slicey (L-1), or whoever is replacing him.pepoel who spel bad and don't know grammer is jerks

Dean Harper's point isn't valid (or at least, the point you try to make isn't)
read my post #98 and #100. I wanted to go after Slicey but he hasn't posted at ALL, still is being prodded and still is being replaced and so I moved on.
What is the point of mentioning someone/voting for pressure, etc. someone who should have been replaced a while ago/doesn't exist? It is just beating a already dead horse.
Likewise, I'm beginning to give up hope on MissRin doing/saying anything but I'm keeping my vote there until post/prod/replacement.
Seamus was replaced by IH but he hasn't said anything.
etc. etc.

At any rate, I'll

FOS Artem
for simply being around and saying something so obviously false since post #99 is you (artem) telling me that Slicey dropped off and I inferred that there was no point in mentioning him anymore until he is replaced. So you conveniently forgot that you did that and now you say it is a point against me? C
@Corv: I would understand that if you were asking questions of people. It doesn't make sense to ask questions of somebody who's about to be replaced. However, you were simply stating things you don't like that they did and things you found scummy. Just because somebody's getting replaced doesn't mean you should give them leeway in terms of what they've done. Alignment doesn't change with replacement.

How am I giving them leeway?

conversely: What is the point of stating things (which I already stated in my previous post) again for a person who isn't here/no response can be received.
When Slicey does get replaced, then the point/re-read will be brought up again; So what do I (or you) accomplish by saying Slicey voted Mizz.Mafia ( L-1 ) lets all go vote him?... oh wait... he isn't here... umm... ok.... no progress.
So Artem, what do YOU want to do. Who do you find scummiest? Otherwise my FoS stands since you are just quoting/following and I gain nothing from it.

So what did you accomplish by stating that you're not happy with Shanba's and freeko's answers and Dean's request for a claim, besides Dean getting on your case about using him in place of Master Ruck?Corv wrote: conversely: What is the point of stating things (which I already stated in my previous post) again for a person who isn't here/no response can be received.

I want Shanba to answer my question and I want IH to post his thoughts about the game he replaced into.Corv wrote: So Artem, what do YOU want to do. Who do you find scummiest? Otherwise my FoS stands since you are just quoting/following and I gain nothing from it.
I still find freeko the scummiest, because he somehow expected a newbie to instantly learn to play better from his "shape up or ship out" and then backpedaled to "oh, I guess a replacement would have been better. I should probably OMGUS vote you to take Mizz off L-1".

Corrv, this is the correct mentality. You could have had your questions out on the table for Slicey's replacement, even if Slicey couldn't answer them. Just because Slicey isn't around doesn't mean you completely ignore the fact that he was on the wagon as well (let alone placed the L-1 vote).Artem wrote:Alignment doesn't change with replacement.
I'm still here, not much to say besides that at the moment.

I'm around but half of the players aren't posting/around, so I have no motivation. Especially when players, like Dean, post 'what is correct mentality', 'you ignored' and telling me how to play and what I didn't play.
I didn't ignore it. If you or anyone else says I did, then I will just post that you have ignored the lurkers/inactive/replacements as well, especially Dean, who despite saying it is correct mentality for someone who did L-1 vote, hasn't mentioned or made comment on Slicey until this point. Hypocrite/ignore much?

I wasn't the one posting about other people on the wagon. I was focusing on what others had to say. I might be somewhat of a hypocrite but that doesn't change the fact that no body else talked about Slicey either.Corvuus wrote:I didn't ignore it.

may we have a week extension after all replacements enter the game?
Outstanding actions so far:
Shanba
- Attempted to pull out of RVS with theory discussion while still placing random votes (Dean at L-6, MizzMafia at L-3). I consider her vote on Mizz still within the RVS, since Shanba concluded that Mizz's play was not indicative of her alignment, thus making her chances of being scum random.
Shanba, why did you slap your vote back on Dean a few pages after Mizz's wagon dissipated?
- Post more or we'll get another policy wagon going.
- Vote on Mizz is scummy. A replacement can solve an activity or experience deficit. Justifying a vote with either quality reads as an attempt to hop on a quicklynch with no regard to the target's alignment.
- L-6 vote on Mizz during the RVS. Opted to unvote once a bandwagon had formed. I have little else to say; reading her Cyrillic text gives me unpleasant LSD flashbacks.
- Hi.
- Aggressive, opportunistic play. As I said above, opting to lynch instead of replace in a small setup is scummy.
- Lots of playing nuances, like
Setting up peeves early is a tactic used to justify semi-policy cases later in the game. Do you have any reason to believe that chiming in to answer someone else's question is inherently scummy? Do you have any other reason to believe that Dean's eager response is scummy, besides its eager quality?I'd probably also FoS Dean Harper since I extremely dislike it when players answer questions for other players
- No material. Random vote on Shanba, removed after RVS ended.
- I do not find Ruck's claim request scummy without links between him and another member of Mizz's wagon.
- Welcome. Post.
I'm still not contented by this. Do you realize that an unstated pressure vote has the potential to garner more information than a stated pressure vote?Artem wrote: This statement comes up in many games but it's not true. I will flat out admit that I'm pressure-voting freeko right now, but I still expect him to address his poor reasons for a L-2 vote.
- L-4 on Mizz.
Disconcerted by speedlynch, but unwilling to remove vote as a pressure gestureDean Harper wrote:I don't like how we almost hit a quicklynch during the course of one day... I will not unvote until I hear something from Mizz because she is out of danger as of now.afterpressure was obviously exhausted.
So high, so low, so many things to know.

Hrm. Corvuus, I asked you about your main suspects because it always worries me when someone starts voting the people they are
I don't like Dean Harper's play so far. Call it gut. Don't get the feeling he's scumhunting, more that he's lynch-hunting. freeko is such an easy wagon right now, and I don't feel that he's particularly scummy :S.
Artem, the two things were separate thoughts. Also, I worry about IH. He's a notorious flaker.
not
really suspicious of. It's fairly apparent to me that you are not really suspicious of missrin, you just want to get her to post - a goal which, to me, is always far more effectively carried out by the mod prodding/replacing. I'm not a great fan of the "lynch the lurker" mentality - and your vote is worse, because it almost seems like an excuse for a vote, an excuse not to have to vote.I don't like Dean Harper's play so far.

Mrh. I've only gotten 3 responses, without having prodded anyone yet. All of them seem to be overwhelmingly leaning towards "I'll continue if everyone else wants to", which indicates to me that nobody really cares anymore. Truthfully, I've gotten enough data already, so...
This entire game was an experiment. The setup was 4 groups of 3 scum each, in an attempt to see pure scum motive in action, to determine whether a town is necessary as a driving force in mafia, and to see if an all-scum setup can be pulled off. All players were sent the same generic PM modified with their role name. Thank you all for participating. Let's hope that this game will lead to another breakthrough in mafia theory.
