Anomalous Amalgam posted:and last is Dancer who only at mod provocation has appeared to catch up lest they run the risk of the lurker gun. yeah this is kinda dumb dude. even if the only reason Dancer is posting is to keep above the minimum postcount, every alignment wants to stay above the minimum post count. no one serves their agenda by getting lurker-killed

Yami Fenrir posted:This is actually a really good point. Please re-read my post about "defending Anidav". For ease: Dancer posted:An early weak-ish scum read that jumped at me is Yami. Dancer posted:Nothing in my following post was in any shape or form pro-Anidav, it was me questioning the behaviour of Yami. And my current vote on AA has nothing to do with his alignment. Do you still think that the thing Jeabus said is "a really good point"?

Anomalous Amalgam posted:"Don't target me, I don't want you to waste your ability" Sounds like something every player says regardless of alignment, but obviously more so by scum. I will make the dreaded wifom argument here. Would I, as scum, needlessly attract attention that way? Of course the answer to that question is "Maybe". Now ask how likely the chance is I will do that on D1, with 20+ people in the game. I would argue the chance is significantly lower. Of course, it's wifom... I don't necessarily expect you to buy this, nor do I necessarily expect that further discussion would help, I'm just asking you to re-consider.

Yami Fenrir posted:Lol Sorry, contradiction might have been the wrong word here. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the proper english word atm? (german here). Still had the word in my head from Jeabus' post. But look at this: Dancer posted:Anpu voting for no-lynch I might understand, I can't quite read his behaviour, he always seems weird, but I expect more from B-man. Given the prompt, let's read him. Here he defends bad behavior as jokes. Dancer posted:I'm going to briefly interrupt my reading of the rest of the game to slam down a ##vote AA. Entirely independent of whether you're scum or not, if we as a community develop a meta where that kind of posting gets you insta-lynched, that can only be a good thing. Here he immediately slams down a vote on bad behavior. This feels like a... what's the word... Double standard? I think that's the one. Dancer posted:You're being massively disingenuous. I have not at any point taken issue with AA defending himself. If you look at my specific post, I have specifically cut down AA's post to the following sentence: I personally don't see why tone matters. Especally in a situation where you're more likely to be frustrated to begin with (aka being voted). You may have not meant it, but the post earlier comes over pretty absolutist on the matter to me, since it's pretty much the sole factor on the vote. --- Coming back to Jeabus' thing: I do not see it as a defense of Anidav. However, the read still seems flimsy to me.. How exactly am I supposed to summise "anidav has mechanical knowledge of a game mechanic" based on a bunch of people talking about it? It feels graspy to me. Same with the B- read.

So catching up with this entire cluserfuck I find myself still agreeing with AA and am going to ##vote Anidav because of a lot of the reasons Anidav mentioned. We have no idea how Exodia works in this game and I don't think it'd make it into a sanity-checked setup (which open arguments as to whether Pod is sane but he did check it or so N20 claims) In my mind it has to work one of two ways. 1) One specific player has to acquire all five cards, which seems really hard to do for several reasons. Not only is there luck in terms of getting cards, but then there are a number of unmentioned side effects (what happens if a player dies while holding one of the Exodia cards? is the 'Exodia wincon' even possible at that point? How many ways do players, scum or town, have to trade cards? Even if town tries to coordinate card grabs, there doesn't seem to be a mechanic to consolidate cards/give cards to another play) 2) Aligned players have to collect all five Exodia pieces. I don't have to explain how imbalanced this could be, and is overwhelmingly a point in favor for Town, in the sense that even on N1 you could have five random town players each pull one piece of Exodia and then whoops game's over. In addition to all those factors the talk of a side wincon and how it's been expressed is just muddying the waters in a way I can't really determine well. I really think the only way we're going to find out one way or another is in a post-Anidav game.

Still had the word in my head from Jeabus' post. What you refer to as "bad behaviour" from bee is "bad mafia play" (voting no-lynch). What you refer to as "bad behaviour" from AA is "being a dick". If you still think that's a double-standard, please tell me which of the two you take issue with. Do you disagree with me reading bee's no-lynch vote as a joke? (which is feasible, though I think a lot of people agree with me) Or do you disagree with me taking issue with AA being passive-aggressive and smug (this part is less feasible).

One last post - I don't disagree with how you read it, but I felt like you should have gone after either both, or none of them. Especially the later is just obnoxious, while the former is activel bad for town.

I'm not condemning you there with my comment, it was more to dismantle B- saying that's a pretty town thing to say. It's alignment neutral at best.

Maybe, but to bring it up this early in the game unprovoked seems like something a town player would die. Interestingly, it is the complete opposite of what Anidav said earlier. Dancer doesn't want to be investigated because he claims it will be wasted, Anidav wants to be investigated to clear himself.

King Burgundy posted:I have a question related to this. Why did you take issue with AA's tone attitude but not Bif's? short version: phrasing. In my mental image of this thread Bif was saying "I'm a good town player don't vote me", AA was saying "lol cute". Maybe if I go through the thread again and pay attention to details I missed, Bif will also jump out as particularly smug. The AA post happened Then and There, and I had the opportunity to instantly react, so I did.

I'll save you the time Dancer, I am super smug Yami Fenrir posted:Lol seems like a pretty knee-jerk off-the-cuff reaction of incredulity for someone not sure of the right word. And it's a strong word to throw around in Mafia. I wanted to see what Yami thought this contradiction was, cause I didn't think there was one and Yami sounded defensive and full of it. Bifauxnen posted:point this out for me please? Yami Fenrir posted:Sorry, contradiction might have been the wrong word here. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the proper english word atm?

But the details arent right cause this is not a genuine misunderstanding or change in opinion. Okay, no, you're doing this on purpose now. ##vote bifauxnen How the gently caress is "Taking an anti-anidav stance" and then "defending anidav" (like I thought he did) not a contradiction? You're grasping at straws. The fact that he didn't specifically say contradiction is irrelevant. Let's also talk about how your votes have been flying goddamn every which way with no weight behind them. You're looking for someone to lynch. Bifauxnen posted:really? I thought he was making a very good showing to make up for his earlier absence. Immediately after votes AA: Bifauxnen posted:hmm this smells fishy to me. The game started earlier than expected on a weekend, and once someone knows they're gonna die if they don't potst, what do you expect them to do? Go on not posting? Bifauxnen posted:actually the Exodia idea makes perfect sense imo, it's the fact that Anidav makes this very straightforward flavor idea seem so drat confusing that frustrates me. Even if he really is just vanilla town explaining himself badly, he could be drawing lots of innocent townies into needless conflict and accusations with each other when they're just failing to interpret his tea leaves the same way. Bifauxnen posted:ok off to work, it's lurkin time The only votes in there that have reasoning behind them are the ones that actually target bif. The others are easy tag-along votes. --- Also, you're wrong about the whole contradiction thing, but I honestly don't blame you on that. I am stressing out hardcore IRL because I'm worried about losing my job, and mafia makes my mental state even worse. I just asked for a replacement.

I assume it will either A. reveal him as town at which point we have to take his claim with a grain of salt or B. He's scum and we still may have to take his claim with a grain of salt, but I think the instawin poo poo is unsubstantiated bullshit and that he's scum so.
