I'm phone posting, so I'm not going to go into depth on anything until I get home later, but I did want to take a minute to say that this name mistake amused me because I just watched 'Fury' the other day.

Sorry, a system error occurred.
Sadly I'm not able to access the Internet at all at work, so I'm sorry for generally being quiet.

I still have no opinion about who is scum or not because I don't know how to tell who's insincere or not without anything actually happening. I don't know how people typically post and it feels like a major disadvantage.

look to whether you think something is a reasonable opinion or interpretation for a person to have. Look to see why someone might want what they're advocating aside from what they're saying. Lastly vote early and often~

Just reread this post, in which PMush strains to justify her vote on Taste while trying to present it as something she has to do because gosh he's the vote leader and what are you going to do this close to deadline, over and over until it becomes clear.

Poison Mushroom posted:

Okay, so out of about seventy posts, a good quarter of them are a slap fight between KB and Taste.

I'm more inclined to side with KB here, if it comes to that. Not only is Taste being incredibly over the top, he's doing so in a way that makes the game less fun for the rest of us, and sets a bad example for the new players.

So, in a situation where I have to choose between two possible D1 votes with no real read on either of them, I'm going for the one who makes the game actively less enjoyable to play.

It's lazy meta voting that lets scum sit another day without having to worry about cases being developed.

This is my point on all that! They're arguing for someone to be dunked not because they're scum, but because they might possibly hurt town in the future, also they don't really make a distinction why specifically imgay vs. Hiip (who is just as much of a jokester).

I still don't know how to play internet mafia. I hadn't really gotten a good read on anyone, so I made a vote on Imgay to see if it pulls him towards more productive posting, figuring if it didn't and he got killed it wouldn't be a huge loss.

Now, however, I'm leaning towards Poison, but I still don't really know.

imgay contributed to making asiina quit mafia for a month or two in Wild and Crazy Kids because he just idiotically went along with what his friend (who was SK) told him to do instead of actually trying to figure the game out for himself, and Anarc was following that game.

This is more what I was thinking of than just the fact that imgay poo poo posts. He lost the game for town based on the fact that 1. The SK was his friend and 2. "Asiina was ruder to me this game." This was after Asiina spent about 10 pages explaining exactly who was the SK and why.

I don't trust him to play with town's best interests in mind, even if that's his given alignment.

But that friend isn't in this game and there's no real reason to think he'll do that again?

Your defense is that you're policy voting someone off of salt rather than reading the game and making a valuable vote

I read the game and thought imgay was the best vote available. I can see the reasoning on PMush, but the fact remains that imgay has done nothing to change my mind. Reading his prior games after the fact is....illuminating..., but it's not why I voted for him in the first place, and I'd still get rid of somebody who contributes nothing over somebody who's trying.

He (jokingly, to be fair) scumclaimed, and posted a link to a Brass Eye video, which is not a contribution to be ignored. He also called the votes against him lazy.

But the thing is, it's hard to blame people for not having much to say right now. Is there another content-free poster you'd rather lynch, or are you really that confident against PMush?

Rereading everything, Poison comes off super-scattershot with the reasonings. Almost every post contains some argument that doesn't quite make sense to me.

I kind of agree with this. Her logic is ridiculous, but it feels genuine. Wouldn't she build a more solid, 100% bullshit case if she were scum? She's making cases but she's not really pushing them.

Then again, she could just be throwing poo poo at the wall to see what sticks.

Hmm.

I can't speak from previous games, but in this game something seems weird from Poison.

I agree that it doesn't feel like it would be a strong scum play, but it certainly doesn't seem like it supports town.

Maybe she got caught in a bad early argument and she is spiraling until she finds an argument that people buy?

Holy poo poo. Why are people basing their votes on previous games played. The only thing that should matter in this thread is content in this thread. Policy voting metacasing opinions on previous games don't matter and you are just adding noise to the thread. Stop it

Honestly, I was pretty much resigned to being the D1 dunk the moment Taste started to really put a lot of pressure on me. He's wrong (or just scum), but he's persuasive. So, I figured the best thing to do was just to get all my thoughts out on the table, and hope that some small part of them would be vindicated, or at least useful, after my flip. I believe in each of the votes I've made, and would follow through on any of them, but I don't realistically expect any of them to actually become the majority.

Also, turns out I'm somewhere on the autism spectrum, so all those games I spent being frustrated by my apparent inability to make an accurate read at least make a little bit more sense, now. I'd like to think that I've still got a shot at being good at Mafia, though. Just gonna be a bit of an uphill battle. :j:
