dscruffy1: Nov 22, 2007; Look out!; Nap Ghost

Hal Incandenza posted:

##vote dcsruffy1 lets look at this post and really break it down:

It's - Vague subject to lead off the sentence. Why can't dscruffy1 commit to a more definite article? Possibly nerves?

three days left - pointless reiteration of something that is obvious to everyone. Also, why is dscruffy1 on so concerned with the time left? Who likes to watch the clock? SCUM

and no one - again, the vagueness. Throws shade on the entire game and leaves himself (herself?) open to put a vote anywhere later in the game. Quite scummy.

is throwing stones. - More vague metaphors. Is throwing stones good? It doesn't sound good, it sounds anti-social and belligerent. Why does dcruffy1 want people to act violently? This is a scumtell.

I'm new - here dscruffy1 tries to play on our emotions and subtly begs for the "new guy shield" yet how do we know dscruffy1 is really new? We don't of course, and given the rest of his post this is probably more misinformation and lies. Why are you still reading this case and not voting dscruffy1?

to this day one - Oh look another reference to time to make us think dscruffy1 is looking out for the towns best interest. Yet he also uses "this" to covertly take ownership of the day. We all know who owns day 1. Scum.

thing. - Oh look another vague term that leave dscruffy1 open to claim the "thing" he was talking about refers to whatever he wants to push his scum agenda later.

There friends, I have solved D1 for you.

Okay cool. I can do this.

This day one is boring. This is normal.

I gather this from watching other threads and it is perhaps true. If not I would like to be proven wrong so I can learn.

Throw some! Even if you're wrong, it's a fun way to get things started.

Well I mean gently caress me, that's the game right? Someone has to be the day 1 stalking horse rude or not. I'm not mafia or 3P but I sure am popular :v:

It is, but we're not complete jerks. New players usually get a bit of a pass.

Oh like we are going to end up going with him. No one who is ever the leader early on D1 ends up being the kill.

We're just letting him get his feet wet at being targeted.

That being said, my case was pretty great.

This is true, we'll randomly vote someone on nothing with like 2 hours to go and they'll flip town and I'll be cross

No, you'll be cross because 10 minutes to deadline we'll all change our minds and lynch someone different.

Maybe Opop will be cross because we'll actually pick them, like this: ##vote Opop

Also I'm reading through League I and Keane made a good point about the Opop/poop connection, very persuasive.

Oh no, I think me and Opop are forum married now since I claimed him in f/m/k in the mafia thread. I believe I have to defend his honor.

Given the current state of mafia on these forums, do you think Ecco gambit-ing is worthwhile strategy?

Get rid of low volume posters first. I think scum are lurking at lot lately and in my last game (in which I was scum) just blindly lynching the lowest volume poster each day would have won town the game.

Obviously it becomes a bad strategy when scum start posting in high volume, but that's when the game gets fun.

Oh yeah

Well tbh my last modding job had quite a few lurkers so I'd be behind it as a form of sportsmanship
