EccoRaven posted:hello QPQ how are you. I am tired but otherwise healthy! I saw those posts and your Crusader Kings character. Everyone looks like they are having fun. Sometimes I think about doing another NationSim but it really is a massive amount of effort to put together. FranceSim was exhausting, especially as people started abandoning the country en amasse for the Americas. I have something based on the Russian Revolution floating around GoogleDocs, and another game based on the Kingdom of Jerusalem. I probably won't run either, but I still toy with the statblocks from time to time.

EccoRaven posted:it really is. the only one I ran that actually met to completion was the Indian Springs one you played in, and that one I think was really, really good, but mostly because it was so small-scale, and had a built-in end-date. my grenada one was pretty much D.O.A. :/ Indian Springs was fun! I just wish I could have killed more Yankees and racists, maybe using my mill. The other issue with NationSims is that you need a player base that won't immediately abandon when the game starts. There was a brief period in which NationSims seemed to be a regular thing, and began developing an experienced playerbase. I don't know if a game run now would last long, due to player abandonment. I think the last game I played in was Maher's Hope, which was a moon colony NationSim. I am really disappointed it never went anywhere, because I was secretly an advanced computer program masquerading as the colony's founder using Weekend at Bernie's style shenanigans.

Murmur Twin posted:On the surface, Keane would have us think that he isn't invested in the outcome. That, of course, begs the question: why enter a tournament that he doesn't care about? Murmur, can you clarify if this is a real case or not? I got the sense you were joking about Keane's laissez-faire attitude in the same way I did earlier (1), but PMom and CPig's reactions (2) (3) are throwing me off. The initial votes strike me as overeager.

I find it odd that Roy doesn't provide any substantive content until Murmur provides him with an easy target (1). Does anyone else get this vibe?

As an aside, I'm having real dfficulty reading and writing right now and I apologize if any of the above is poorly phrased. Let me know if there is confusion so htat I can clarify later.

Feeling much better! Let's begin again.Roydrowsy posted:Why would Goo want me to win? What are you talking about Goo? Upon revisiting this post, I think I can better explain why it set me off. The first three lines strike me as defensive. There's no reason for Roy to distance himself from Goo, nor any reason to explain his motives in last night's challenge. While claiming "it was never my intention to win the game" appears to be pro-town, it doesn't make sense on second thought. What sort of player would not play to win? Protection from the lynch is protection from the lynch. Saying that you had no intent to win is defending behavior that needs no defending. Roydrowsy posted:This stuff you pointed out, it seems more like dramatic flavor play than anything. Perhaps they are playing Nicholas Cage from Leaving Los Vegas, or an emo kid. And then there's this post, which is just repeating objections that were previously raised in a slightly different packaging before doubling back. It's meaningless and meandering. I don't know what Roy's position actually is, and her following posts leave me even further confused as to what her position actually is. Roydrowsy posted:I like this less. Roydrowsy posted:I am not above posting things to seek out reactions fro. Which to make judgement, but typically I ask for people to try and clarify and summarize information.

Pinterest Mom posted:Look at her case. Look at how patently unreasonable it was. Look at people saying they like it, and how artificial that opinion has to be. Why do you think Murmur's case was serious, given its content, her voting on KB for supporting it, and her subsequent clarification? OmegaGoo posted:So what was your reasoning here? I understand items are nice, and hell, they might help town in general, but why not try to actually win? Omega brings up the exact same issue that I referred to (1). Liking that I'm not the only person to notice the weirdness of such a confession. Murmur Twin posted:My vote wasn't based on your changing your opinion of Keane, it was based on your liking a bad case that supported your opinion (which made me think it may be fabricated). While I'm not sure what you mean by "flailing", I admit the vote is as flimsy as D1 cases usually are. King Burgundy posted:My reason for voting Keane was exactly the same as yours minus some words. You didn't think it was worth a vote initially. But now you do. To me that looks like you are trying anything to get out of the pressure you were under since I hadn't actually done anything new. Aka flailing. Getting a greater sense of "flailing" from KB than Murmur because KB is doubling down on a lovely joke case that literally no one likes. Get the sense of trapped scum trying to divert attention to another member of their bandwagon after the experiment goes sour. Pinterest Mom posted:It's Anarc, Opop, and KB. Thank me after the game. Cool. Please elaborate. King Burgundy posted:I also agree with Opop on this. Pmom is prolly scum. Cool. Please elaborate.

Birdstrike posted:I don't think you get to question anyone's intent to win after you sat in the corner after picking up an item key. you are just mad because i ate you and my point is, "why defend yourself for something that doesn't need to be defended?" Saying "oh noooooo, i didn't really want to win" just comes off as superficially townie to me imho.

King Burgundy posted:Interesting. And you feel the same way after my most recent posts on the subject? Yeah, I still do. Your posts build pressure on Murmur without putting forth reasonable effort to understand her motivations. What, for example, does Murmur gain through "a dishonest interpretation" of the votes against her (1) (2). In what way does that benefit scum? It might be weird, but I cannot fathom how "dishonest interpretation" of that incident is helpful. It's taking anti-liar policy to an extreme. You engage in a similarly thoughtless attack later on, when you discuss Murmur's motivations for voting you (3). It is not contradictory to accuse you of blindly supported a bad case (4) and saying that you supported a case without reading it (5). Based on her clarification (6), Murmur's meaning seems pretty straightforward: Her case was never intended to be serious, and if you thought it was a good case then you clearly never read it. "Flailing" might not be the best word to use, but I do think you are being exploitative and I'm still struggling to explain why you are caught on a hella dumb flavor case against Keane (7). OmegaGoo posted:Yeah, so I'd vote for Yuming, Merk, or Garth, just based on amount of content. (Yeah yeah, replacements and such, but still). Yuming is an extremely low content poster, regardless of alignment. Know nothing about Garth, but I assume he's a newbie player. Merk typically does a bunch of weird flavor stuff D1 before swinging back around and playing for reals. Nothing about his posts thus far ring as off to me. Also, lurker votes are baaaaaaaad. Roydrowsy posted:damnit i typed a response and it deleted itself. did you just confess to posting just so that you could have a higher post count and now that you've chided me for not understanding your positions, would you please tell me your positions because my previous post about not understanding your positions was intended to get you to explain those positions, not explain to me that you can explain those positions. thx

Pinterest Mom posted:She hasn't made a single case (or, indeed, scum call!) all game, and all her opinions are made up ("imgay is contributing", "murmur is scum hunting" re: her case on Keane that was basically bolding words at random and calling it a case) Didn't Narc literally the exact same way as a townie in one of Ecco's games? FAKE EDIT: The game I am thinking of is Misery of Madriu where Narc was town+. She somehow survived to the end despite everyone thinking she was hella scummy and providing close to 0 content. Narc's behavior is bad, but there's nothing particularly special about it based on what I remember.

What I get out of yuming's post history: a bunch of shallow ~~vague~~ stuff that doesn't go anywhere. The only things that stick out to me are her failure to vote for Murmur after calling him suspicious and her promises to deliver cases that never happen. As a whole, though, I don't get a strong scum vibe from her posting. As mentioned before, a lot of her stuff seems to fit yuming's meta.
