I'd prefer to just role claim when the time comes.

Karthik, sometimes I think you WANT to lose at this game, even if you are town, I don't think we can afford to keep you around, to be honest.

After doing some thought on the issue(sorry this won't be as long as I would like, gotta be up in 5.5 hours so I'm gonna make this quick), I'm beginning to think that Marshy may be right about the name-claim. I'm still not entirely sold on the idea, but I'm not against it any more, more neutral leaning toward doing it. I do agree though that if we're going to do it, this is the ONLY day when it will really be worth much.

....so, what are we discussing? *sigh* KK, you really need to work on your word phrasing man. It seems that you are acting contrary to what you say.
Unvote anyone
Vote KK

are we really gonna move towards kk? it seems like every game he's in Town just lynches him and/or smashbot out of impatience. not considering that he's simply bad at phrasing things and keep running into the same wall as a result. doesn't grant him immunity but i honestly think that if he was mafia he'd be flushed out sooner or later anyway.

there's also that he's already at 4/7 and we haven't even nameclaimed yet. he has enough pressure that a response is warranted.

already 4 out of 7? All I counted was 3, including me >.> Fine, I'll unvote him, but he should atleast come here to attempt to better explain what he said.
Unvote: KK

you're right only ronike and kevinm had votes on him. thought yaya did too since he bolded his fos and i just took it as a vote skimming through.

also i agree with pythag's post

Yeah after rereading posts I have found quite a few bad phrasings of things. Ok I never said it would not help my phrasing just screwed it up. I said it would be hard to pretend your something your not. Also its easy to tell whats a mafia character and whats a town character. What I said originally sounded very odd and made it sound like I was advocating it because it would not work. I am sorry for what happened and I will make sure I don't screw up my phrasing from now on.

Unvote: Xenu

He's not such a bad guy. He sneds spirits to earff and doesn't afraid of anything.

Vote: KK

For a reason like voting for a man because he believes a nameclaim is a failure THIS early in the game is slightly ridiculous.

Like everyone else has said before, name claim HELPS maf.
I agree with Pythag here - What you did was go with the flow, make a safe vote, agree with everybody else, and add nothing to the discussion. How does nameclaim help the mafia? It puts pressure on them and especially in this game makes it hard for them to fake a name.

Also, I think you misread KK's post anyway. I thought he meant that the roles would be mostly well-known dinos, so it'd be hard for mafia to fake.

Reread the thread to see what you meant. You and Pythag need to cool the suspicion.

And I messed up- THIS game, name claims don't help maf. And no matter the game type, maf could always fake the roles.

Though I understand what you two mean.

What are you talking about? Reread the thread? What has that got to do with your post?

Yes, maf could fake roles, but it's much more difficult in this game, because there are only so many well-known dinosaurs that aren't carnivorous. The chance of fake-claiming a dino that somebody actually has is fairly high.

for a d1 nameclaim from the start :)

Marshy- been pushing the entire time
Niiro- urges us to do it quickly to give mafia less time
1048578- he's been arguing for it
Lombo- said there's no harm done
karthik- said that he thinks most players will have well-known dinosaurs making it difficult for mafia to fake claim i think

goes with the flow/opinion has changed :ohwell:

Macman- has been suspicious of me and is personally against it because he thinks it takes skill out of the game but will do it with majority. i think it's a weak argument
Mentos- was originally against it but says he's starting to come around
pythag- same as mentos

against :mad:

KevinM- is supposedly skeptical because it could lead to a pattern but i've said why i think that's not enough
Ronike- like macman he seems to be suspicious of me and says i'm acting differently
yaya- against because of lasting wifom. think this is one of the weaker arguments and it's bulletproof
smashbot- said nameclaim helps mafia, then retracted and said mafia could always fake roles. that's true but he doesn't explain how it'd necessarily hurt us
rockin- says i'm pushing it way too hard and that i'm acting weird. doesn't explain what's wrong with pro-nameclaim reasoning

if i made a mistake show me

it's the 28th

please please please if you see something wrong with someone's claim don't point it out until everybody has gone. if mafia x found out because townie a pointed out something wrong halfway through the nameclaim, mafia y may be able to tweak his claim to avoid making that mistake. so if you're itching to say something just encourage everybody to go through with it before saying it

Giraffatitan

herbivore
Brachiosaurus here




Herbivore
These two dinosaurs are in the same genus. The Giraffatitan is like a different kind of Brachiosaurus. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giraffatitan#Discovery_and_species)

I highly doubt that these two nearly identical dinosaurs would both be included in the game - Just look at the pictures - They have the same oddly shaped type of head.

I have reason to believe either Mentos or Pythag is mafia.

LOL marshyaht t made my day.

I also think we should be inspecting closer... mafia may take more precautions and decide to choose a lesser known dino- such as Pythag's Giraffatitan.

That sounds like a bloody Pokemon evolution.
