Are you an alt? Are you trying to start a fire to derail the day?

You can count me in on that speed lynch. I'm super excited for this game and even more excited for the BOXES so don't anyone ruin this on page 3 or any page for that matter.

It actually doesn't say that unvotes are required, so likely their new votes overrode their previous vote.

There's no reason that Yami needs pressure
, because there's a good chance she'll flail.

Care to explain the disparity between these two posts? This is exactly what I was referring to when I asked you if you were just trying to derail D1. Also, I don't understand the relevance of your dating example. My opinion is even further justified by your whole "let's lynch her tomorrow if we have to" and your whole motivational speech directed at YamiChan followed up by a 180 degree turn and vote on her. Speaking of your vote, you had already identified YamiChan as someone who was going to flail and yet you say "dammit, I hate it when you're right" to CSL and vote Yami when CSL said "she's flailing and appealing to emotion." Can you backpedal more?

CSL, 97 wrote:
Vote: YamiChan


Less murking about the rules and the players in the game. More content, please.

FoS: Rikana


Explain your post 91.

FoS buddy, vote easy lynch townie?

CSL, 102 wrote:Aww, she's appealing to emotion, AND flailing!

Moar votes please. I think we caught a live one!

Seriously, CSL. Do you think these are legitimate scumtells coming from YamiChan considering she has exhibited those same behaviors in every other thread that weren't even mafia games? You are obviously aware of the other threads so you are just stirring the pot.

The same can be said of Nurez. The way Nurez, CSL, and Rikana are all dancing around the Yami wagon seems very much like people stirring up trouble for the sake of distraction. Nurez and CSL knew this coming into the game based on discussion threads and Rikana seems to have know as well since he already stated he knew she would flail.

YamiChan, 105 wrote:Do you even hear yourselves? Contribute to the thread? What exactly am I supposed to contribute at this stage? None of us have anything to contribute, it seems, and I don't believe anyone has contributed anything. I haven't done anything to deserve this bullying, and you have no right to lecture me and tell lies.

At the time of this post there was plenty to discuss. What do you think of Rikana?

Too many variables surrounding RC's post restriction that seem to have answers/explanations out of the blue. Five consecutive posts, adding a syllable each day (or something), etc. For you post restricted people: is there a penalty for breaking it? It is just nonsensical for a game like this that requires communication and complicated mechanic discussion.

It's hard to keep fake post restrictions straight when the restriction changes every day.

Awesome. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep until this later date.

CooLDoG, 870 wrote:^hops on the wagon. This is quite scummy in my opinion. RC was currently under a lot of pressure, and all Xvart can come up with is

he has a post restriction that is complex. Thus RC must be scum. This has to be one of the worst reasons for voting for someone.

Think about it. In a game like this, where communicating about boxes, levels, powers is focal point, having a one syllable post restriction is ridiculous. Plus the modifying per phase seems especially out of place, and considering RC talked about that after he started receiving heat, plus the "oh yeah I can post four posts in a row." It reeks of being fake. It completely impairs the game. The only pause I have about it was when I was reading and saw MoS's pictures posts I thought maybe I was wrong, and then with his flip... But the modifying part of his post restriction and the how that developed is what is keeping my vote. I did not remember it being one syllable per
phase
; I thought it was per
day
.

xvart, 870 wrote:Question: What does RC's post restriction do? And if RC posts after me do not read her posts. I want to know what you currently think about RC's PR.

It should be obvious I think it is fake. Plus, I can see RC doing some gambit like this in one of his last games to be like "woohoo I'm outta here with that awesome gambit I pulled." Plus, being in Storm of Swords mafia I'm not too hip on post restrictions and letting people skate by because of that.

The only person at this point I would consider voting is Rikana, for the reasons I mentioned yesterday. Voting YamiChan to give pressure and then saying later saying she doesn't need pressure because she'll obviously flail. It appears to me that he was just trying to get her into a spot where she would flail (knowing she would flail) to derail D1.

Does not answer my question about RC's post restriction. Is attacking solely on the fact that RC does have a post restriction, and wifoming to no end. Good job guys we got scum on d-2....
I didn't answer your question about what RCs post restriction does? It's a stupid question because it supposedly restricts his post. Is there something else you are looking for? Second of all, I answered the part (again) for what I thought of it. And, considering your follow up question directed to RC saying "you didn't answer my question RC, what does your post restriction do. Answer or I will vote you" makes it appear that the question to me was mixed in with a question to RC:
CooLDoG, 870 wrote:Question: What does RC's post restriction do? And if RC posts after me do not read her posts. I want to know what you currently think about RC's PR.
CooLDoG, 888 wrote:@RC, answer my question. What does your PR do? If you do not answer in your next post you get a vote.
It looked to me like you were asking RC what his post restriction does, and I don't even know what that question means; and how would I know what his post restriction does (other than, you know, restrict posts)?

MagnaofIllusion, 906 wrote:My vote has NOTHING to do with cool secret inside information. Just normal scum-hunting.

So continue to vote xvart cause he's scumtastic but don't get worked up about possible role information.
This was anti climatic...

CooLDoG, 918 wrote:No you didn't. It is not a stupid question. You simply have no understanding (and have proven that you don't by the above quote) of how RCs restriction works. You are simply going for the easy lynch.
CooLDoG, 918 wrote:Boy ohh boy, did we just take a shit? This my point. You have no idea what RC's restriction does. Simply put you are just voting to get someone lynched. RC had already said what his post restriction does (read his post with link). That was my point for asking the question... To see if you even knew what you were voting on.
As I've identified previously, I understand/understood the supposed mechanic that he gets increased words as the game goes on. What is misunderstood was the degree at which his supposed words can increase (phase vs. day). Even so, that has nothing to do with why I think he is lying and you arguing the semantics or my comprehension is just ridiculous.

CooLDoG, 918 wrote:Also, I was asking RC to clarify what his post restriction did... Just to make sure if it was a word a phase...
And this warranted the threat of vote on him because?

I'll use Kublai Khan's progress list to illustrate what I'm talking about:
Kublai Khan, 935, edited for relevance wrote:15 - ReaperCharlie starts 1-posting. Indicating that he opening his box early. If he's faking it, he did it clearly before most of the other restrictions.
227 - ReaperCharlie confirms Restriction
258 - Hoopla calls ReaperCharlie's restriction bullshit. Lays foundation for other's votes.
285 - Hoopla questions ReaperCharlie's restriction again.
290 -294 - ReaperCharlie explains the syllables/phase thing
RC only added the ability to gain additional syllables after being put under significant pressure and the threat of lynching. Everything thing about his post restriction screams ridiculous and fake. The progress and evolution of his supposed fake restriction is damning enough evidence alone.

CooLDoG, 949 wrote:@xvart, read the bolded red spoiler tags. That should answer pretty much everything I have to say about you.

wtf? Seriously, wtf? Your bolded red spoiler tag is my quote. Second of all, you still haven't even articulated what exactly is scummy about me. I clearly understood his supposed post restriction yesterday when I said "adding a syllable per day". What I didn't understand is the degree of the mechanic (one per day vs one per phase), as has been clearly explained (several times now). Regardless of that, it doesn't even matter, because
it is not the degree of syllable adding that I am voting him for
. It is simply put, because in any permutation of how many letters, words, or syllables he adds I do not believe it. Coupled with his out of the blue "oh by the by I get to extend my syllable as the game progresses shortly after Hoopla ratchets up the pressure and says RC needs to die no matter what.

Just out of curiosity, you don't find it at all all odd, convenient, or dare I say,
suspicious
that
the syllable extension only came after tons of pressure came onto RC???
Do you normally not care about suspicious explanations that come after pressure is put on someone to justify something that already happened?

Also, you neglected to answer this question:

It seems strange that you are admonishing me for voting RC yet you threaten to vote him for saying again the details of his post restriction.

I can't tell you how pissed I was at RC for faking that stupid restriction, and then for getting modkilled. Me getting lynched gave him some pretty solid town cred (I think) and he blew it. And the fact that he said he was going to replace out anyway at the beginning of D2 made me even more mad.

I didn't really follow along after I was lynched and frankly I didn't even know that anyone on my team was still alive (I missed that gamma replaced someone on my team) so way to go gamma. I was thinking there was a serial killer since I got a box that checked to see if someone was a serial killer.
