- 1. All votes and unvotes should be boldedand use this format:Vote: Whoever,Unvote: Whoever.
Neruz and DeathNote, please do this and then revote. Things are going to get confusing if you try and vote for another person without unvoting the first person. Your vote could mistakenly be counted twice.
Some mods require that votes first be unvoted, others do not. Seraphim did not clarify if unvotes are needed or not.
I do, however, assure you that votes will not mistakenly be counted twice, and if Seraphim does err in the vote count someone will be quick to point it out and get it fixed. Let Seraphim worry about mod problems, he's the mod, its his job.-

As a player, I have a right to worry, just like other players have pointed out mistakes and clarified things. Unvoting first is the right thing to do. There's no need to make a fuss about it. In the meantime, I know I won't be counting the votes of anyong who has voted twice without unvoting.
And that is why i have asked the mod to clarify.-

The fact that it is mentioned in the rules is all the confirmation you need. Don't argue just for the sake of arguing.O_o
*Sigh*
YamiChan, it is often a result that mods allow unvotes, but do not require them. I myself ran a Mini Normal where i stated the formats for Votes and Unvotes and then went on to say that Unvotes while appreciated, were not required. Whether or not Unvotes are required changes from mod to mod, hence why i have asked Seraphim to clarify as he did not state one way or the other.
The fact that you refused to join a Newbie Game and thus are completely unaware of things like this is not my fault, it is yours.-

We have every right to lecture you and tell you lies, unfortunately for you what we're telling you right now is the truth. You've caved spectaculary under pressure and rather than even attempting a pretense of defending yourself you've fallen into a desperate attempt at appealing to emotion and constant rhetoric. These are not the actions of an innocent townie accused of being scum, these are the actions of a fearful scum trapped in a corner who cannot find a way to get out.-

My proof is very simple. You're absurdly overdefensive. A few people voted you and your response was to accuse everyone involved of lying and bullying and being disrespectful and so on. Your response to the votes and pressure is to claim that we arenot playing the game the right way.Furthermore not only did you respond with blatant AtE, but you attempted to bring themodinto the argument as well. Such desperation is an incredibly strong scum tell.-

First up, is itreallythat hard to spell my name properly people?
hohum wrote:Unvote, Vote NurexYou followed the drama and you knew she was going to be absurdly over defensive (as you put it) when this game started. So you're running with a null-tell ball as far as I'm concerned.
I didn't follow the drama, i did stumble upon this thread thanks to the drama surrounding YamiChan, but i decided to in because my Large Normal is taking forever to fill up and because the mystery box mechanic interested me. I did, however, know that Yami would act exactly like this, my correctly predicting that does not give her a free pass to commit AtE fallacies and act in a scummy manner. Simply because i know someone is going to act scummy doesn't change the fact that they are acting scummy, furthermore i amcertainlynot going to WIFOM myself into giving Yami said free pass on day 1. If this were a lylo situation i might be more open to potential WIFOM, but it is not, so i am not.
DeathNote wrote:But... She is also a flustered newb who is in over her head. I remember my first game was similar just with less posts by me and more self voting. It is for this reason that I can not vote Yami just yet, I am thinking that she is more then likely town.
Indeed, and i respect your decision to not join the wagon yet. But don't let her newbness disguise genuine scumtells. It's one thing to keep in mind that a newbie is acting in a newbie fashion, but being a newbie does not give you a free pass to act scummy. A lot of newbies take advantage of that (either knowingly or not) to get away with obvious scumtells by passing them off as newbie errors.
Post #123 seals the deal for me at this stage. Rikana, someone who, as far as i am aware, has not interacted with her prior to this point voted for her. Herimmediatereaction was to accuse him of being mafia. That is pure defensive scumplay.-

No, i am not. If my vote on Yami were a policy vote i would not be pointing out scum tells in her actions. I would have simply voted her and ended the discussion there.
hohum wrote:That's right. Wagons. Plural. You tried to push one on me too.
No i didn't. I placed an RVS vote on you as part of a silly joke. I find the fact that you seem to think such an obviously random vote was serious extremely suspicious; you're not an inexperienced player, you should be able to tell that vote was RVS.

But you just got done acknowledging that it's expected behavior. Policy lynch by the very definition of the term.
A policy lynch is typically either a lynch because a player's bad play is considered actively detrimental to the town, or a lynch on a player for reasons unrelated to the player's scumminess. My noting a pattern in YamiChan's actions and then expecting that pattern to continue is indeed unrelated to her scumminess, but that's not why i'm voting her. I'm voting her because she is not reacting as a townie should react.
Did i expect her to act like this? Broadly. Does that give her a free pass to act in a scummy fashion? No. If being expected to act scummy allowed one to discard scumtells, every player on the site would simply act as scummily as possible in every game. I do not have any meta on Yami from prior games, so i cannot say if she would act differently as town or scum, therefore i must fall back onto generalised scumtells, and general scumtells currently point to her being scum.

SpyreX placed a vote on me as part of a silly joke. You followed up, which is at least some basic indicator that you took it seriously.

EBWOP:
I also find it impossible to accept that the following quote is actually legitimate and not a poor attempt to excuse the fact that Yami has found herself attracting more attention than she wants. I certainly never expected to see anything like this out of her.
YamiChan wrote:As for Mafia-hunting. this game is not designed for it. We don't have roles beyond basic Townie or Mafia, and we also don't have the ability to privately communicate. What little we do know, we are forced to withhold. You can't come out and say you have info or a certain power. That would get you killed.-

I think it might be worth waiting for some input from these players before continuing any of these wagons. We've created a shitload of pages considering over a third of the player base hasn't even posted in the thread yet.-

hohum wrote:Neruz wrote:Primate wrote:She's conflating people attacking her behavior with attacking her.
She does that anyway regardless of being in a game or not. Null tell there.
Yet somehow a page ago you were using that as a reason to push for votes.
Misrep some moar plz. I wasn't using the fact that she takes everything personally as a reason to push for votes, i was using using the factthat was all she was doingto push for votes. She wasn't scumhunting, she wasn't contributing. All she was doing was 'woe is me for i am a victim and you are all terrible bullies who hate me' and so on. Had she been both whining and scumhunting, i wouldn't have voted for her. It was not the presence of the first, but the lack of the second.
Upon being called out on this, her response was to flail around and claim that it's impossible to scumhunt because there aren't any power roles in the game. Now i find it incredibly hard to believe that is what she really thinks. First, she claims to have prior mafia experience and second sheknewwhat this game involved when she signed up. So either her prior mafia experience has never once contained a single instance of scumhunting and she deliberately signed up for a game in which she believed the town would be largely powerless, or she's spewing a torrent of bullshit to try and hide the fact that she isn't scumhunting not because she doesn't know how to, but because she is scum and thus has nothing to hunt.
And, of course, to add an extra degree of absurdity to her protestations, she's tried to claim we're somehow attacking the mod when we attack her. I honestly don't know what to make of that one, but it looks like a pretty transparent attempt to get people to stop attacking her by implying a modkill or something equally rediculous. I don't know.

Eh, i'm not seeing hohum scum. I dunno, i've never played with him before, but this sort of passive-aggressive antagonism is pretty normal for him outside of mafia games.

Come on, really? Opening a box labelled 'Poetic Justice' was only ever going to cause you pain and suffering.
Although i have to hand it to Seraphim, a Haiku post restriction is sheer genius.-

Opportunism is the strongest scumtell i know of. Nothing Yami has done compares to Primate just up and joining a bandwagon without even asingle wordjustifying why he did so. And when asked to elaborate? He just point blank refused. If you don't see that as extremely scummy, there is something wrong with you.
Juls wrote:Scum could fake a post restriction to say "hey, look, I can't express my thoughts clearly because I have a post restriction"
Town could fake a post restriction too and I would rather not share why because I don't want to do the work for scum.
LLD hasn't used the PR to avoid sharing info\expressing thoughts clearly however. In fact she seems to be doing everything in her power to express herself as clearly as possible. The PR has no bearing on her alignment, but i see no reason to believe it is faked at this point in time.
ReaperCharlie's post restriction in the other hand looks really bad. While i could believe a Haiku post restriction and i believe i have already made my feelings as to it's brilliance clear, a one word post restriction is just plain bad. I find the concept that Seraphim would willingly put a one word post restriction box in the game highly implausible.
ReaperCharlie certainly is using his PR to avoid expressing himself well too. With that in mind,FOS: ReaperCharlie-

Yeah ok, ReaperCharlie is our lynch today. I'm not buying one word of his Post Restriction claim; if he really had a one word PR, as Hoopla said, he'd be restricted to not posting in a row like that.
Having a 1 word PR with a 5 posts in a line limit is functionally identical to having a 5 word PR, except five times more annoying and obnoxious. ReaperCharlie is lying, and that makes him a likely scum candidate.
UNVOTE: Primate
VOTE: ReaperCharlie

And it's silly to put off a lynch. The longer it does, the worse it will be.
The longer the day goes, the more we get to see how players interact with each other and the more information we can potentially glean in the future. Shorter days favor the scum as the less they have to interact, the lower their chance of scumslipping.
@Mod: As the list of boxes on the shelf has not been released yet, may i trade with the shelf at random or do we have to wait until tomorrow?-

Juls wrote:@Neruz - CSL is scummy because she did a complete 180 on YamiChan saying she was just looking for her to do something "townie". This after baiting and pushing the easy obv-target (hey! just like you did).
Thanks, i'll keep an eye out for that.
Also it's not what i did, i still think there's a good chance YamiChan is scum, but i also accept that there is a possibility that i am wrong. Certainly i tunneled rather hard on her (for Day 1 at any rate), so there is a reasonable chance i overreacted.-

Jester is a third party with a win condition independant of all other players. Jester win condition is literally "Be lynched." that's it.
Also SpyreX, may i suggest some lovely sweet and sour sauce?-

Why would the Jester want to get lynched if they don't win?
YamiChan wrote:If you are lying, I'm pretty sure you can get modkilled for it.
No, you cannot. Feel free to re-read the rules and look for one that states lying about game mechanics is not allowed if you don't believe me.
In fact i'm pretty sure there are a few games on the site that were actually won because of scum lying about game machanics.-

Like any player they want to play to their wincon. If their wincon states that they win with the town then they're just going to play like a townie.

In which case the Jester is a town power role and plays as such. In fact, the Jester as you described it wouldnotwant to get lynched most of the time, as he will probably end up causing more harm to the town than to any of the scum factions.

Also, ladies and gentlemen, from opening my box i have learned the most useful information that no recruitment mechanics are in play in the game.
I'm not sure if that means no recruitment mechanics -right now- or -ever-, but given that it was a level 2 box i'd guess it probably means ever, in which case Hoopla's Cult Cop box was a red herring.
