I make more of a go at it than you, yeh? :allears:

Besides, how can we have substance this game beyond speculation and theory? I'm not saying quick assessments are bad, but it is more suspicious in this mode of play where solving the game will hinge on these interactions and our thoughts about them.

I dunno why we've got too people in pera and AA both cheating the content game, HURM.

As written, I answered your question. I would not grant a cop to anyone else and I would not trust the result if I was forced to. I don't know that anyone would feel different.

I'm appreciating the increase in effort, Quid. With regard to any "finger-pointy-ness," let me just say that Quid and I have a history of me encouraging him and he... finds a cliff and walks off of it. At least from wherever I'm sitting at the time.

pera's gonna pera; I don't have anything else useful to say, except maybe this: I refuse to vote Ecco day one short of an outright scum confession. The nature of this experiment demands she see d2 so even if she's scum, I'd prefer to focus the other one first.

i do not care for dadding as a verb and I'm a lady for anyone stuck in them-territory. I think tomorrow I'll take a look at the folks I've never played with or jammed with - ya'll know who you are so, idk, introduce yourselves?

Yeah, but maybe cool it with the joke votes? It's four to hammer and it wouldn't be impossible for scum to jump on your two votes?

How many scum are in a 7 player game? 2?

This interaction is the only thing I've seriously furrowed my brow over thus far.

As a person who does enjoy setup spec, I don't find that outright suspicious even if it has been demonstrated to be a scum tactic at emulating content. I'm more drawn to contagious harping on the joke votes so early.

You might be saying, "...but AA, weren't you complaining about not rushing the day?"

This is true. I was. However, AYCs remark comes 2 hours after game start when it was truly unlikely scum would hammer someone.

Ecco's reply towards me reinforces their previous stance on the notion, but when I expressed concern it was well into the day, and it was more for the point of securing a window of time to discuss. I'm not saying this makes AYC scum, but it certainly has made me think about it.



So yeah...

AA signing out!

Sorry, but no, this is suspect as poo poo. There's a difference of 5 hours between my "maybe watch the joke votes" and yours. Your argument would carry more weight if you said it closer to the deadline. As it is, 2 vs 6 hours is basically no difference. So you can't claim mine was scummy and yours wasn't. There's no flip, so no information comes from the lynch. Scum could easily hammer under some pretense.

AA has been pinging me a bit too. I hate to use the big fake-impressive words but they both strike me as a little performative? Like they want to be seen saying the words they're saying, rather than for their meaning.

I'd rather vote Ecco, though since it's been much more consistent from her.

This is also the feel I get from Ecco. Like just banging that drum right from the start.

Quid I've softened a bit on based on some of his recent posts, but I need to re read everything. I think AA has taken his spot on my list simply because that effort post was very "hey guys, everything is cool and these are just light observations only I'd straight up kill this person and that person".

Fake impressive lol, cute.

My word choice is usually deliberate not to impress, but usually because those words are most appropriate. I don't care about impressing anyone.

Also yes, AYC, it was a content game equivalent to "marry, gently caress, kill"

Who would you cop?
Who would you doc?
Who would you vig?

However, if Mush is actually reading and not sniping in favor of shifting opinion, they will see that there is genuine opinion and explanation.

To call my points light is an unfair assessment when I actually made the effort to explain them, even if some are more brief than others.

Also BK, you are officially lurking at this point, what's up?

I've explained why I made an emphasis in people taking this game seriously:

EccoRaven posted:

The full story is that Kash is running this game to "prove" that flipless games are bad, spurred by me saying "flipless games are good." So I have an interest in this game being a competitive (or at least ordinary) game of mafia beyond just being in the game itself.

and regardless "says good things but but is just saying good things for the sake of saying good things!" is a really lovely and lazy (and pro-scum) case.

yeah it was a really lovely case, but it makes sense because pmush hasn't put in any effort into this game so far (aside from being the spongebob tYpInG eAcH lEtTeR meme personified).

I would vote for BK too, I feel like when he rolls scum his instinct is to lurk. This might be unfounded but it's a feeling.

Right now I'm feeling pmush is the scummiest based on play. BK had a family thing last night but he's been a non-entity even before then. I'm liking AA's gumption. And I don't like AYC.

If the scum are outside of pmush, BK, and AYC then they're doing an okay job and should feel okay with themselves.

More thoughts while I'm here paying attention, I like AYC. You seem like a chill, genuine player, and you really do remind me of the early days of Evil Sagan.

AA did not exactly change my opinion by jumping in literally fifteen minutes after I called them suspicious and then immediately making a super-defensive post.

Considering he was busy last night and it's still midmorning in most of the states, pressuring BK so much for not being here yet strikes me as going after an easy target. That being said, if he's still lurking this time tomorrow, then I'll definitely be taking a bit more issue with it.

"this player is making good posts with content" is not a good scum case, that was my point. That's your case and that seems to be PMush's case, and it's nonsense, so I was addressing it.

There's absolutely no way you could reasonably believe this is a good way to go about the game, especially when the people not posting content are so much worse.

It's patently ridiculous. It's the second laziest case in the world, and does nothing but advance the scum win condition.

I bring it up because if AYC votes me for this (terrible) case I'll be at -1, which is even more absurd.

PMush's play so far this game:
- Shitposts (worthless)
- Talking about the incredibles (worthless)
- Making a nonsense case
- Says AYC is a good player solely because AYC agreed with the (nonsense) case
- Accuses AA of being "super defensive" (he wasn't) and refuses to elaborate.
- Half-defends an absent BK (this is a scum maneuver)


Their posting just says "I am lazy scum and I'm gonna poo poo my way through this game instead of actually put in any effort." And as an aside, if you want to talk about being "performative," this post is actually a good example of "says things just to look helpful," because the underlying content is hollow.

So the thing with flipless mafia is that it requires people to actually put effort into posts so others can get a good feel for their tone - do they sound sincere, do they sound forthright, do they sound like they're hiding something.

There is going to be a learning curve, too, and that's alright! But you have to try is the thing. If you slack off and go an entire day or more without posting then we're in the dark.

So, even more so than most mafia games, "this player is lurking" is a really good reason to vote for someone.


As such: ##vote quid for lurking.
This post is Weird. The vote at the end would feel pretty natural as a joke-vote, but as far as I can tell, you're being entirely serious. Not to mention it was right after BK put an actual joke-vote down on him.

flipless games require a more rigorous way to look at the game, I wanted to address that going in.

PMush I know I'm biased but I hope you at least see that your first attempt at a substantive case this game is not very good. "Puts quidnose at -2!" is a terrible reason to vote someone, "seems serious but then it looks like a joke AND THEN ECCO SAYS IT'S A JOKE???" is not a smoking gun (it's not even a gun), and shitposting like you did all yesterday doesn't exactly make it look like you're going into this with a sincere heart.
