So quiet. Do I need to make another effortpost questioning Mafia strategy just to get people to post again?

Of the two posters with significant bandwagons, I like the case against Flamander more than the one against stickup; for a guy who makes a point of withholding a vote because he wants to have a good reason behind it, he immediately turns around and advances some pretty shaky reasoning about stickup to justify his vote.

##vote Flamander

(yes I am aware that basically every charge that can be leveled against Flamander besides his general air of resignation and "oh well I guess I'll die I'm just not very good at this" can be leveled against me as well; c'est la guerre)

You've expressed suspicion of more than one person today so you are already doing way better than him.

To put things into perspective, if you ignore the 2 posts Flamander made to sign up and confirm his PM, he's got as many posts as the vote counting robot.

I would take my vote off of yronic to reconsider the 2 main options forming right now, but he has been conspicuoualy absent since he had 2 votes on his head. Really feels like scum trying to be ignored out of suspicion.

I was suspicious of chores earlier?

chores + stickup = 2 people.

Does suspecting someone of being scum means that you have to vote for them, or something? Because I've played a few games now and I've never heard of this new rule.

and here above you can see the classic 'scum under pressure'. perceiving all as against him (they are) he lashes out at mafia itself instead of any one player who may be scum (because he knows they are town), then curls in on himself in angst and self pity, blaming all of mafialand for his failures, instead of his own scummy postings.

Flamander posted:

I was thinking the same thing. He's posted in bursts early D1, and so far he's done the same early D2. As you said, it looks like he's trying to get the needed amount of posts for the game out. It's not voteworthy, because for all I know chores could post more later on in D2, but it looks suspicious.

Read Flamander and this is really all that stuck out. Holding off on voting someone just in case they post later is really weird. We'll, there was this earlier.

Flamander posted:

Jokevotes vs no votes as a measure of scumminess is a useless debate imo; because you're using meaningless criteria to define whether a person is scum or town D1, when a lot of people either jokevote or don't vote early on.

##unvote

Nervously defending a jokevote also seems odd. Self-voting is never a good idea, and although momentum built up quickly, there wasn't so much indignance as instant defeatism. Also weird to self-vote before claiming. Even if it's a VT claim, why put yourself at -1 without saying anything?

I mean ya, that seems pretty likely, but not definate.

Honestly I think Flerp is scummy in the way he just added another vote and announced that Flamander was at -1, basically asking someone to hammer immediately.

I don't think it's pro-town to end discussion early like that without solid evidence.

The holding off on the chores vote was because I wanted to give him a chance to post. If he didn't, then yeah; I would have voted him if there was no one scummier.

The selfvote is because I've been lynched early on the past few games I was in, mainly because I try not to vote without a reason (and also because I'm not a very good jokeposter); so I figured that if the same thing's happening for, like, the 5th game in a row; I should vote for myself. Make D2 go a bit faster and then you dudes can actually get some flips on D3. Though, it sounds like an bad idea, now that I've said it. :shobon:

name dropped my last somber character, then specifically use the words who I am, rather than alignment. I put dumb posts out there early in games because scum are looking for easy votes early game so they don't get called out later on for not voting. (hi opop)

yronic heroism posted:

Lol, no town would say this

##vote stickup

unsurprisingly, yronic jumps on. even though you're just trying to put content down on paper here, you're still wrong. town scum claim sometimes. claiming that you forgot your role, character, or alignment isn't very farfetched, especially as there are those that sometimes don't even read their pm right away so they can look at D1 with completely neutral eyes. but the thing that really sold it was him doubling down on it.

Anyone feel like verifying this? I'm certainly willing to believe it but I'm going to have to bow before the knowledge of other people who've played Mafia with stickup, because while I enjoy the game and all I'm not looking to do homework. Anyway if it turns out to be 100% true and verifiable and trustworthy, the second part of this post can probably be disregarded:

I'm honestly not a huge fan of lengthy effortposts that are devoted to making a case about someone but spend half the time talking about the posting player's strategies and tendencies; they strike me as scummy (as much as I hate this term) virtue signalling.

I won't bother verifying because of the second bolding there; going game to game for meta arguments, to me, is weak.
