Ok I am willing to accept that maybe you genuinely were annoyed at my post, I just found it odd that you would be upset over my post when most of the other players weren't really putting any effort into playing the game regardless of their post count. It just looks fishy to me since I know that I am town. What do you think of YPM's attempted vote on me?

Also I am still waiting to hear from Opop.

Why are you refusing to confront me about my vote on you and are trying to get other's people's opinions instead

Your vote on me is terrible but I want to hear Punt's opinion on it because getting a player who you think is scummy to give an opinion of another player you think is scummy is helpful in evaluating reads. You haven't posted a single opinion of substance in this game yet unless you were serious in your case on Yuming early on, but if you have some words on why you think I am scum I would love to hear them.

Opop I wanted to know if you had any reads and you said you didn't know who was in the game, so I posted the player list for you but you never gave any reads.

I'm voting you because almost all everything you have put out has been weird and doesn't fit. You are that weird guy at the party who dances at the wrong time and says things that are tangentially related to the topic at hand by using stock phrase from movies. It's certainly a gut case, but why not, no one has anything else in this goddamn game.

soscannonballs posted:

I doubt I will get 25 posts, this game is just too overwhelming. Its funny to read all the fanfic stuff but I don't really have any good reads or anything so I will just ##vote Poque.

This is probably the quote that personifies what I'm talking about. It seems like your wrote this post just so you could fit in with everyone. There is no mafia theory behind this case that usually drives my posting, but I think it's off enough to pursue.

I wrote that post because I felt it would be rude to just get modkilled in a game without saying anything. I had been following the thread but I was too overwhelmed and frustrated at all the silliness going on to feel like I could contribute anything, but I didn't want to leave the impression that I was a flakey player because I would like to play in future mafia games and don't want to have a reputation of just dropping out of games without saying anything. I voted Poque because I was annoyed at the guy who made 400+ posts that were variations of "I'm scum" and "Kill me."

This post feels genuine to me. A stupid opinion because Poque was hilarious, but I believe a real one. I'm getting a townie feel from this guy.

I'm getting a bad feeling about Rarity, like she's half way between joking and being serious.

He didn't really explain (at the time that is, he has now) his votes so I didn't think much of them if I'm honest but since they were in agreement with my desire to have you lynched I didn't really scrutinise them, not that there's much to scrutinise. He's now explained it though and it's a bit vague but that's in keeping with it being an apparent gut vote I guess though I'm not sure I understand what he means about mafia theory.

In general I'm a bit iffy on YPM to be honest, I found his attempt at role-fishing suspicious and this in retrospect reflects poorly on his given Diqnol's scum flip:

Your Personal Muse posted:

Diqnol is my sixth best bud, I wouldn't want to lynch him anyway
But it's hardly convincing and possibly just an unfortunate co-incidence. He's on my list of possible scum but hasn't actually done anything to make me want to vote him yet.

Mafia theory is a reference to the fact that there are certain things that are traits of scum and not town and I only look at those things without much variance. I believe Ernie described it as clinical. I was referencing that the case on sos was not clinical.

just so we're clear, this isn't omgus. this is agreeing that rarity has been behaving very strangely what with the d1 claim and now all the contentless posting and henget votes. far be it from me to criticize jokeposting, but i think we're finally getting away from that, and i'm not really seeing anything except jokeposts from her.

There are like a million. The biggest one I guess is a heightened priority toward survival. It's much more important for scum to survive than it is for town, although this trait gets more and more hidden the more experienced the scum is.

Honestly, always add time to everything when doing it forum wise. Mancala, for example, takes like 5 minutes when playing in real life but it took hours in death match form.

Tbh though Asii I played that personality test game first hand and the online portion of it, you know, like posting code tags with my entry etc., seemed pretty meaningless... if it was irl I thought times would be the same. Therefore I didn't count on being online adding too much time. I guess it may have added time in this case, but maybe the players are just slow? I do not know.

Yeah personality test can be pretty fast, however there's also a very set limit of moves. At most it can take 16 turns, and often quite a few less. Mancala and Black and White are both limited in how long they can possibly take. I don't know if there's a maximum for this.

The only one I've run so far that can go on for who knows how long is Snakes and Ladders and the getting rid of a snake/ladder after it's been used is to combat that.
