I wanted something more solid than simply voting the same way as the group as right now. I only have very very very vague suspicions about who might be "scum". I try to avoid group conformity and group think. I learned enough about it in sociology class, I don't want to reenact those scenes. ~.~

And maybe its because I'm new to this game but what qualifies as a fully town post? Do you want me to cast my suspicions out when I think they are nothing more than baseless hunches?

If it's a baseless hunch, keep it to yourself. If you are suspicious, then it is based on something. Share.

Baseless hunches you can keep to yourself, but any suspicions based on what/how someone has posted and why/when someone has voted, are most welcome. Scum tend to either avoid putting too much on the thread, lest it catch up with them, or they simply scatter-gun suspect everyone. Your thoughts and analysis would be appreciated.

Having a nice lurk down there mono?

It's called waking up in the morning and reading what happened while i was sleeping. it's 8 in the morning here.

Why is group training catering always so disappointing?

Because they expect you to be so focussed on your group training that you neglect to notice that you're eating the leftovers from the homeless shelter.

That is bordering on fluff. I have the concession on that.

I own some original stocks in fluff, I'll have you know.

[Azathoth]

fair enough you were posting. You are wrong mono. Day one is a day for gaining information. Day one voting patterns often make a lot more sense later in the game. Hiding on day one because you are scared of lynching town is anti-town.

eta damn this thread is moving fast now

[irretating]

Forget my first post. I was just being silly in a very serious thread. If you think that's scummy, so be it.

I didn't really think so* ... as I said, I was just pulling your leg.

I like them all, but the difference between RatSkep style mafia (lots of witty levity) and ratz mafia (getting down to business) is noteworthy ... and TR has a different style again (still getting a handle on that one ). Each have a unique and interesting dynamic.


*That doesn't preclude the possibility that you are, in fact, scum.

Mono, Why not vote yesterday?

I don't believe in the first day witch hunt. Those have almost always failed in the past, and this game was no exception.

WTF is this. Do you think we should all keep quiet on day 1 and give scum a hiding place? Utter nonsense. Day one is where you get information for day 2 even if you do end up lynching town and a nolynch on day one just gives scum a free kill. I'm trying to work out if this flawed reasoning is because you are scum or just because you are clueless. FOS anyway.

Keeping quiet and shooting blind are two different things. I certainly didn't see any compelling reason to vote for anyone, including higgs2.

And the scum get the kill anyway, whether we lynch or not. All this has been doing is giving them an extra kill on day one.

This is what I think.

Jesus Christ.

We have players to spare. Oblivion has already given a fairly good reason to vote on day 1. It gives information. We could all shut up and say nothing for a week and no one gets hurt. Pretty dull though. We need to prod and probe. Tickle and annoy.

What ya got Mono?

ratz mafia has developed into quite a challenging game. the days of role playing until the seer outs are long gone.

No PMs, you say, irre? hmmm ...

Last time I played there, many of the RatSkep players were keen advocates of the 'no lynch on day one' notion.

mono, you play at RatSkep, don't you?

[Uselesstwit]

maybe the other game stuff could be taken else where?

Let's not bring Jesus into this, oblivion. He has caused enough trouble. I'm fairly sure he has meet his quota for the next several thousand years.

As for my hunches, even I know enough that we need to vote on people on day 1 or else it means they get a free kill so Mono seems a bit odd to me. I think he is experienced enough to know better, I think.

Ghat also seems a bit odd to me. He thought I was scum(at least his post on page 2ish did) and he seemed rather emphatic about it before quickly changing his vote. Sort of like a slider in the whole modular, slider, dissenter social experiment. Saying that I think it might be my annoyance over being voted on by him that makes me suspicious of him.

And I don't think I need to elaborate on the totals suspicion.

[Magicziggy]

Back to training. I'll see you on the otherside.

[Rob]

Also I have noticed almost no activity from Morticia, So That is making me iffy.

[Uselesstwit]

mono is experienced, but a lot of that experience is from ratskep that play a very different kind of mafia. Over there it's a lynch able offense to vote to lynch someone. I know, it's weird.
