Mills posted:emphasis mine Here when you say that Exakt first wrote up a joke and then say that he attempts to be serious. I don't think you voted him on the basis of whether or not it was a joke vote. I read the whole thing as a joke vote whereas you took them seriously at the end. I think you ended up taking them seriously since Exakt didn't quite manage to lay out the humor as well as they could've. For me the fault is found in his set-up. Now you may see that as problematic in itself but I don't see it being any more than just poorly phrased humor, coming from a player who writes awkwardly on a regular basis.

hello, I put this on the back-burner cos of, well it was laziness mostly tbh, my apologies! Still plenty of time to make up for it:100YrsofAttitude posted:You two are just slap-fighting over nothing.

I'm of the opinion that any scum would just sit tight this early on rather than risk rocking the whale-ship. I agree with wall monitor that this post kinda sucks. A voice of reason commentary on the argument based on a categorically false premise of scum having standardised behaviour patterns, seems like it's trying to appear agreeable without adding much and almost verges on being anti-scumhunting with their "conventional wisdom" of scum not gonna be doing anything (so you can't find scum). 100YrsofAttitude posted:I will try as much as I can to emulate lumpen's e-prime thing seeing how much of an amusing challenge it seems. Also maybe it'll help me clear up the way I type, which as most of you know, often meanders about. I won't be as strict about it though. Not a fan of this post much either, "I will now adopt a conceit that alters the way I communicate, which is in no way a pointless diversion from what I have to say". What they say is kinda apologetic and wishy-washy too. I would probably be ok with voting 100yrs today.

Wall Monitor, you have lost your status as a "real straight sailor", you can now tack and stuff, which while makes a boat able to travel into the wind, but allso allows plausibly shifty intentions... I think this metaphor has been stretched too thin. Kay, lemme rephrase and elaborate. Punt, you've made one post, and it's one where he's agreeing with me. While I'm happy that someone is agreeing with my opinions, I'm also suspicious because it's jumping on my read instead of coming up with something original. That strikes me as something a scum would try to do, since a manufactured read might get called out as manufactured and by jumping on someone else's opinion you can participate while still staying under the radar. It's maybe a bit iffy at this point since there's only been one Punt post, which is why I wanted to hear more from him so we can get better reads.

I completely agree that agreeing with wall monitor and jumping on his reads instead of coming up with something original constitutes Scummy behavior. It strikes me, as well, as something a Scum would try to do since a manufactured read might come off as awkward, but that by jumping on someone else's opinion on can participate while still staying under the radar. That, combined with Puntification's extreme lurking, leads me to change my vote. I do not feel even a bit iffy at this point since there's been only one Puntification post, and that sort of lurking matches well with my biased expectations of Scum behavior. ##Vote Puntification

Well since I've been lurking, being the first to point something out is more difficult and that was the only particularly interesting thing I noticed. Lumpen's vote on me seems like an intellectually lazy excuse to vote someone rather than genuinely looking for scum so at the risk of eliciting an omgus response I'd say I wouldn't be surprised if he's scum as well, I prefer 100yrs over lumpen at this point though.

But Punt does bring up new points against me!Puntification posted:Not a fan of this post much either, "I will now adopt a conceit that alters the way I communicate, which is in no way a pointless diversion from what I have to say". What they say is kinda apologetic and wishy-washy too. I would probably be ok with voting 100yrs today. That said I don't agree with them. I think my comments speak for themselves in a direct manner to be honest. Nor do they apologize. They merely explain why I said what I said. Last time I will bring this up but mentioning the e-prime stuff serves no purpose. It shouldn't have any bearing on anything or at the very least shouldn't be a big point of why you'd vote me.

Rascyc posted:What is the eprime stuff? E-Prime (short for English-Prime, sometimes denoted É or E′), a prescriptive version of the English language, excludes all forms of the verb to be. I encourage you to review my previous posts for more details. This thread reminds me of the ol' Sargasso Sea; goes nowhere and full of poo poo.

Complaining about a game (especially on d1) is a tedious, tired cliche; you're a player in this game help make it less poo poo yourself.

I'd like to note the irony that neither of lumpen's votes are original; he votes exakt after mills' does and me after wm declares me suspicious. Also I already called him on it but it bears repeating: complaining about this game instead of doing anything useful is a lovely unconstructive move especially from someone who's posted more about e-prime than the game. Lumpen is fast over-taking 100yrs as my favoured scum pick. 100YrsofAttitude posted:I will work on this since I really do use redundant platitudes way too much. Should have gone with the unapologetic answer and told me to go gently caress myself, you'll write/speak how you like imo.

I really don't want to get a vote on me, and considering that Puntification put so much tough pressure on me, I change the subject and take this opportunity to shift my focus off Puntification, who has posted their way out of the bottom of the stack. I declare fiery_valkyrie the new biggest lurker and insist that she prove to me her innocence. ##vote fiery_valkyrie

The 'damned if you, damned if you don't' response to pretty much every action made in a mafia game led me to gradually stop playing for a long time previously. I doubt that if I had answered in any other manner, things would've played out differently. Like I told Wall Monitor earlier, 'do as you want', because while generating content for the thread this early on suits me just fine, I feel like we've exhausted the subject. I've either convinced you or I haven't.

I think Punt is scum. Also, I think Lumpen might be trying to emulate his town self rather than be his town self. The difference is subtle but looking back at what DHD was saying I can see it. This is not enough to vote until I see more.
