Newbie 2014: Aesthetic | Game Over

[brassherald]

Guess mafsepia is out.

VOTE: votato

[brassherald]

You I'm a chubby catholic lawyer who went to church a few years back. AMA

[brassherald]

I'm going to be honest, starting a game on a Saturday is never great. It generally disappear most of the weekend myself and so do many others. We'll have activity tomorrow

[brassherald]

Before we get in this fight, let's remember that tone is hard to read on the internet. Because it's text. Which is why Mark Twain could report on a caveman being discovered in the mountains and people didn't get the joke.

[brassherald]

I'm new to this version of mafia, but generally I find spam-posters worth voting out on the first Day, if we have nothing else to go on. At best, they're just cluttering the thread. At worst, it's scum that's using wackiness to make themselves appear benign. I'm hoping Mikul will post a little less spammy over this cycle - if he keeps this up, I think we should go for him.

Again I will certainly not posting and if you aren't capable.of keeping up with a mafia thread then feel free to try and Lynch me and I'll laugh as you take a loss.

I have 0 sympathy.for being lazy and poor play because of it. This is essentially both. If you can't read a thread don't sign up. If I was flooding to floor sure, I've already stated why I was flooding earlier. If you consider what I'm doing now flooding which is actively posting, then again you deserve to lose.

Calm down and try again, because I have no fucking clue what half of this means.

[brassherald]

@mikul:
Calm down, spamming is subjective. He might see it as spam while you don't. And I disagree with you calling that lazy, excessively flooding makes it hard even for active players to keep up. And flooding *is* a legit strat used by scum, so no need to get offended by mutesea.

@town looter:
All your "good reasoning" is me voting and unvoting Mikul. As for scum not picking up on jokes thats bullshit, I'll bet you're making that up. Cmon, give me at least two examples of that.
FOS'ing brass for noting a well known fact is unreasonable.
To clarify on the lurking, I thought it would be anti-town if you did that. I made a mistake missing the joke and I admit to it.
So really all you have to go on me is:
1) Me not picking up on a joke
2) Me unvoting because I realised I'd put Mikul on L-2. If he only had one vote on him, I would not have unvoted.

its not simply that you unvoted. its the way you went about it. although scum often unvote RVS wagons that approach a lynch out of fear of being on such a bad wagon.
not picking up on humor is actually a very useful tell. Because scum are lying, their brains have a hard time picking up on humor. it could be that you just are incapable of sarcasm/humor, but for your sake i prefer to think that youre scum

Are you scum in USPol? You can tell me here, it's a safe space.

[brassherald]

why is it that everyone who comes from epicmafia is super cocky?

I'm not from epic mafia, I'm just generally an asshole in forum games. Because it's easier to get reactions from people.

I'm generally an asshole in real life, not for any real reason, though.

[brassherald]

I just want to clarify, I wasn't coming in to defend whatever person didn't get the joke, I just didn't want to read fucking 4 pages about how someone is joking and someone else didn't get it and then its resolved as "Well, that was a waste of time"

I literally can't be bothered to look up the two of their names, but it's not going to be useful content to me for the two of them to bicker about a fucking joke.

Do you actually think their is no value in the fact that he either didn't read it as a joke or acknowledge it as one ?

I do actually think it's not a valuable discussion to have past the first attempt to say he didn't think it was a joke. Either you believe him or not, nothing that's said after that is going to be him saying "Yeah, it's an obvious joke." or the other saying "Yeah, it wasn't an obvious joke." people don't change their minds in these dumb arguments.

[brassherald]

Are you just asking people not to vote you? Of so, what's the reasoning behind the request?

[brassherald]

Hey, guys, don't vote me if I'm acting like Scum, that's just how I naturally play. Yuck!

VOTE: Arthur

It's L-2.

[brassherald]

You are literally telling us not to vote you if you are scummy, that's a new scum tactic I've seen a whole bunch.

[brassherald]

First wagon is rarely the daily lynch. We'll dance around and then there will be some people who decide to take a stand on some reason not to lynch the best choice, then we'll end up on a compromise lynch. Whether the compromise is a good lynch is yet to be seen, but its very rare for Day 1 to end differently in my experience.

[brassherald]

VLA until Monday

[brassherald]

People voting Anthony when Vox whatever did less yesterday smh.

VOTE: Nash

[brassherald]

Also, don't out PRs as a PR when you don't see someone visit the night kill, that's the only way you get a confirmed guilty as a tracker, ugh.

[brassherald]

I'm not here as an SE to play the game for you, I'm here to help you get better at the game.

So, get better.

[brassherald]

I'm terrified.

[brassherald]

I can give you some reads if you really want, but it seems like I had been filed into the scum pile purely for not posting when I was VLA and also not posting during a low content Day 1.

I refuse to waste my own time, and from what I can see "active lurking" aka, not being on the site 24/7 or most weekends, has gotten me a scum read I'm not going to shake with any posts, so why bother?

[brassherald]

I give a read, Nash is scum, his predecessor falls into the newbie scum tactic of just not posting. Hell, I replaced into a game where I won as scum because my partner did this and no one called him out. But, it's the "easy vote" so, what? Is it because I'm not sitting here typing pages of text? That's not my style, and I definitely don't want to read long posts, have less desire to make them.

So, what exactly is it I'm supposed to do to change your minds? Solve the game for you all? Not tell you that outing PRs is anti-town?

I mean, not exactly much for me to do at this point with the heavy confirmation bias going on.

[brassherald]

Yeah, you guys were ready to lynch me without posting, so, clearly I should waste my time and effort actually working in this thread, that makes sense for me and my time management.

I have consistently held that my time is valuable and people consistently call me a jackass for not being willing to waste time.

So lynch me, deal with the green flip and move on. I'm not going to be apologetic for when Day 1 ended like just 3 days in, and Day 2 I've been labelled scum without any avenue to convince otherwise. Then, what? You want me to apologize for valuing my own time? If I don't, sure as hell no one else will.

[brassherald]

I'm not saying my time is more valuable than your time, I'm just saying I value it too much to waste it on the effort of pushing a boulder up a hill just to have it roll back on me.

I've been down this shitty road before, I'll make posts, people will say my reads are all generic and I didn't do enough to invent the wheel.

I messed up by not expecting Day 1 to end a week early and I know the point where the reads of me are at. I cannot change anyone's mind at this point and anything short of finding the entire scum team with a guilty will just all lead to everyone lynching me and never reading my posts again because "I didn't add anything of value"

I didn't have my moment of clarity Day 1 that I sometimes get at the end of the day, so, now I'm a top scum read.

I've played this game before.
