I read 2009 in your postbit as 2010 so I assumed you might have been a new player. My mistake.

There is no unvote rule. You don't have to unvote before voting again.@Mod. Please clarify the unvote rule. Many mods don't care if a player unvotes before voting again. Others require an unvote before another vote. You have nothing in the rules about this mechanic. Please clarify.
Yes.@Mod, you made a mistake, did you not?
A bunch of wifom right there.@SephMasa: I have no posting restriction; Tandora was mistaken. I said it was selective breadcrumbing; I cannot breadcrumb roles I do not know, so it must be mine. Anything else would be tantamount to a pre-game established system or code. A no-no.
I chose you to choose a lynch target because you exist. It's just as well a reason as any. Let me take this moment to assure you that, no matter what you might think, it is more important that you convince me that your alignment is town than for you to be able to get a good read on me. Both are important, of course.
I give orders because I wish to see how much actual control I can exert. I'm seeing more and more that people must be influenced in ways that make them feel as though they are responsible for what they do. Things can never be simple, can they? Why do people not wish to simply win? Fear, fear of looking foolish, fear that the mob may come for them, or my personal fear, feast upon itself. Some people snicker at that fear. I see their smiles.
Hmm. Concerning your last question, first, I must ask, what would you think if I lied to you? I already know the answer I intend to give, but I wish to know your thoughts so that I may word it properly.
Swallow my pride? You mean like just thinking "Oh, swiss has an amazing reason to vote for me, He just doesn't want to tell me it. I should just trust him, as he''s better than me?"Unvote
Vote: Dark Horse
I strongly suggest that you put your vote back on Nabe - swallow your pride, its all about winning and no offence, but some players in this game know better than you.
@MK: I meant get over the fact DH is cello's *****, there's no harm there atm
How abou I vote myself, eh? According to this, that makes me town.Next 3 people to vote for Dark Horse are automatically town.
See what I said below about genralizations.This is NOT how new players react to Cello when the first encounter him. As soon as I saw this I knew he was scum.
And how does it reek of being scumfeded?The first one surprised me that he didn't say anything more confrontational, then the second one reeks of being told to listen to cello by a scumbuddy. No joke. Even without the massive 180 the second post alone would confirm his scummity in my eyes
So you're trying to apply a generalization for why somebody is scum? Proof by example is a logical fallacy, you know.NO townie does that. I'd be willing to say that DH COULDN'T.
Because if nabe flipped town, what could you really say? You had purposely gotten everyone to lynch a townie. I would bet people wouldn't listen to why you think somebody's scum. Today you might've been able to convince people. Tomorrow, you wouldn't.Further, DH decides in #105 to try to explain himself to MK. He basically said that his primary concern was his own safety, in that he thought that I would be able to get everyone to vote for him. If this were so, why the threat that I would be dead next? Why would DH deliberately provoke the person that he felt was dangerous to him at the time? His explanation is clearly a lie.
And... What? How does this prove that i'm scum?Post #108 finds DH unvoting, about twenty minutes after his initial vote, and very shortly after X1 arrives on the scene. This could easily have been X1 asking him what the hell he was doing and telling him to back off. There was nothing in-thread that should have prompted DH to change his opinions and therefore unvote. The only thing that X1 said to him was that he should try to question people, which is hardly asking him to unvote. If MK's request for an explanation, and a subsequent theoretical DH reexamination of his own beliefs was the cause, DH would have unvoted in post #105, 7 minutes before his actual unvote. But this did not occur.
You sure? This is OS were talking about....J is town on a practical level because scum would not be given such an easily failed posting restriction. As the player-role selection is random, no mod would want to see their work go to ruin due to some bungler ****ing things up. Town is damaged less so by a single person's ineptitude.
Fair enough.I am on the DH wagon because I asked Cello for handholding and I trust him. In return I have to show that I'm trustworthy to him. I would like to think he wouldn't say he would hold hands if he was scum, but if I am wrong, I'll know not to trust him again.
Castle maf, halo maf, and Sorcerers at the magic academy on mafiascum. And about 1,000 EM games.@DH - What other games have you played in?
Why did you vote rPSI over Cello?[/color]
R had made statements with nothing backing it up.
Probably misguided. Besides ordering people around, he/she/it hasn't done much scummy things.Do you think Cello scummy, or misguided?
Yes, as backing up points is a lot less scummier than not.If scummy, do you find rPSI scummier than Cello?
Sorry, what do you mean "cello would be unaffected"?Or do you think Cello would be unaffected by your vote, and hence used it on rPSI.
Also:
unvote, vote:GLG
Glg's been acting scummy, though rPSI just seems dumb.
Getting multiple permanent votes on someone because they screwed up their posting restriction would be a funny, quite unusual way to die. The person that votes for him will basically self-confirm scum in that case sooooo...Don't like that you'll laugh at a modkill and how you reacted to Cello's order.
@Inferiority/Nabe/Dark Horse: I have not really seen much of your guy's play before nor have I played a game where you were in it. Why should I trust you guys? What are your reads on GLG and each other?
Don't like this. It sounds megalomaniacal. And then you not only contradict yourself, but go out of your way to point it out (specifically, that you gave two seperate answers for why you are controlling).@SephMasa: I have no posting restriction; Tandora was mistaken. I said it was selective breadcrumbing; I cannot breadcrumb roles I do not know, so it must be mine. Anything else would be tantamount to a pre-game established system or code. A no-no.

For now, it is appropriate to say that I am comfortable with the direction that you have chosen to take.
@BSL:
I will give you a different answer. I choose to give orders because it whips certain towns into shape. This is a town that will ultimately respond positively to my discipline, provided I do not attempt to micromanage too much and properly rely upon the support of my allies. YOU already know that I am not mafia. Everyone else will know that I am not when I deliver all (probably) 4 of your heads to them. I've always found a good rule of thumb to be "Follow Cello until he leads town into 2 mislynches". I'm biased, however.
0_o Gonna have to let this digest before I comment.Why X1 and DH are scum: A Primer to Scum Thought
--------------------------------------------------------------
Starting from Post #91, timestamped 2:39 PM. Let's say DH refreshed at that moment, and it took him about him about 6-7 minutes to read and digest the information present in it and then formulate an opinion, which was the time of his first response. That would mean that he wasn't aware of my #93, where I suggest voting for Nabe, which is reasonable enough. One minute later, he places his opportunistic vote on Nabe. This has been mentioned.
Think about it. In that one minute, he had to 1) reverse his implied opinion that I don't have the authority to command his vote, 2) decide that he was willing to place a vote that he had no intention of sticking to (unless he lied later in post #127) and 3) come to the conclusion that if Nabe is town, I must be scum without already having that impression (or else he would have said as such in post #95. This point is further strengthened from post #127, where DH suggested that my confidence [which indicated to DH that I never considered if Nabe were town] was a factor in his interest in wishing to vote for me, something he probably did not know for post #91).
NO townie does that. I'd be willing to say that DH COULDN'T.
Further, DH decides in #105 to try to explain himself to MK. He basically said that his primary concern was his own safety, in that he thought that I would be able to get everyone to vote for him. If this were so, why the threat that I would be dead next? Why would DH deliberately provoke the person that he felt was dangerous to him at the time? His explanation is clearly a lie.
Post #108 finds DH unvoting, about twenty minutes after his initial vote, and very shortly after X1 arrives on the scene. This could easily have been X1 asking him what the hell he was doing and telling him to back off. There was nothing in-thread that should have prompted DH to change his opinions and therefore unvote. The only thing that X1 said to him was that he should try to question people, which is hardly asking him to unvote. If MK's request for an explanation, and a subsequent theoretical DH reexamination of his own beliefs was the cause, DH would have unvoted in post #105, 7 minutes before his actual unvote. But this did not occur.
I already spoke of DH's hypersensitivity toward Swiss's vote against him, but it bears repeating and a further expansion based upon later events. X1 voted for DH and suggested that he put his vote back on Nabe while quoting DH's question to Swiss. THIS MAKES NO SENSE. And yet, DH says nothing in response. Why get antsy at Swiss? Why did he say nothing to X1? Oh, Nabe said the same thing. Excellent. Then, in #128, DH's sensitivity shines once more when he asks Nabe about his vote on him. Yet, when X1 virtually accuses him of being scum in #158, or worse, an actual vote in #161, the SECOND time this has happened, DH has nothing bad to say about X1. No questions. Nothing.
One detects sub-background noise acoustical signatures by the presence of absence. When there is nothing when there should be something, there is something.
I seem to recall Dastrn saying he once lost a game because one scum was made unlynchable. Spamming "Kupo!" isn't that difficult either. All J has to do is double-check his posts. Takes like thirty seconds.J is town on a practical level because scum would not be given such an easily failed posting restriction. As the player-role selection is random, no mod would want to see their work go to ruin due to some bungler ****ing things up. Town is damaged less so by a single person's ineptitude.
If you really think I'm town, you would say why, no?I will not comment on my reasoning for InCom's town alignment for now.
Meta-Kirby is not mafia. He has, at worst, that enviable anti-town position called "independent" which can legitimately scum-hunt. I must question his action against DH...while I agree whole-heartedly with his anti-DH sentiments, DH is admittedly a very easy target. Further, his vote on me was unwarranted and useless as Swiss outlines in post #133. It serves no purpose, disproves nothing.
Imma just leave this here.More or less just disproving his "mk is kefka he has this restriction I see" theory. I'm content leaving it there until something else sticks out, which is bound to happen.
More "trust me because I say to trust me". A habit you should break for your own sake.Nabe is town becauseI say soit's pretty obvious. A DH scum flip virtually guarantees it. Cello-Rule 11a states "Bussing does not occur on page 1". Besides, the way Nabe signed up wouldn't be an effective bus.
Zen cannot simply be "wrong". He must be "delusional". I really don't like the lengths you go to to discredit anyone who disagrees with you.Zen is delusional, but town. He wouldn't stick his neck out the way he did for such a worthless scummate. I don't know why he chose to laugh though.
Read: "I'm scum and swiss is not". See what I said about you thinking me town.Town Swiss? Sure, why not.
J was this a RVS type vote or did you have a reason for voting GLG?
@GLG/BSL: Nailed you two last time I wonder if I can do it again :3c Also I am noticing a similar problem. I do not like both of your posts so far. =/
Unvote
Vote: GLG
Any questions feel free to ask. ;D
Kupo! Kupo! Kupo!
No, I'm leaning town on Swiss.@Nabe: Talk to me. Do you think Swiss is scum? Out of this list who would you do you think is scum buddies with DH?
1. giraffelasergun
2. Xatres
3. Inferiority
6. Zen
11. RocketPSIence
15. Sephiroths Masamune
16. BSL
@Everyone who thinks J is auto-town for his restriction: does this change your mind? OS knows the game can be ruined by one bad player and I think its wrong to assume J is auto-town because of his 'kupo!' thing. Someone tell me what they think of J if they consider the restriction a null tell. Someone like Xastrn's opinion would be niceMy mafia setups are always closely related and require planning of all mafia members. One bad member will bring down the whole group like dominos in all my games.
You're trying hard to take more stances... but you're fluffing around possibly the most important stance in the game thus far? If you don't have a strong read on DH, why aren't you trying to strengthen said read by scum hunting?For the record, guys, read Castlevania. DH's play there was very similar to that here, we were about to lynch him, then Swiss got him modkilled and he flipped town. (It's also your only opportunity to meta-read me as well.)
Doesn't confirm anything, but it does make me hesitate to jump that wagon.
And?Don't like this. It sounds megalomaniacal.
A man with military training sees a thug attacking his family. He shoots him. Did he do so because of his training, or to protect his family?And then you not only contradict yourself, but go out of your way to point it out (specifically, that you gave two seperate answers for why you are controlling).
Posting restriction =/= voting restriction contextually.Also, "I have no posting restriction" yet you apparently are not allowed to vote (or more likely, must not). Which itself is a posting restriction.
The damage is done. J can't UNDO his ****-up. Moreover, I've never advocated making J unlynchable, just considering him Town until LyLo, then lynching him there. That minimizes the impact OF his ****-up, and his easier for me. Selfish, yes, what do I care about that?I seem to recall Dastrn saying he once lost a game because one scum was made unlynchable. Spamming "Kupo!" isn't that difficult either. All J has to do is double-check his posts. Takes like thirty seconds.
Given that I DIDN'T, apparently not. Duh.If you really think I'm town, you would say why, no?
MK proved with that post that he didn't have the VILLAINS version of Kefka, nothing more. Which means, nothing.Imma just leave this here.
Zen thinks DH is town because he's acting differently from a situation ENTIRELY different from here. He was cast into a situation where he had to observe himself "objectively", and failed. Here, it's 100% DH. Zen's dissension is dangerous and must be stamped out.Zen cannot simply be "wrong". He must be "delusional". I really don't like the lengths you go to to discredit anyone who disagrees with you.
Awww. He's stepped it up. X1 has evolved..ish. Not a Gyarados yet. Stuck with splash.
Will call town for now. Will change it when he doesn't do what he's meant to.
You're ninja skills.J said:How so Zen :o?
Wow dude. This is basically as bad as my reasoning was in Halo except reversed. Not liking this at all.X1 said:This is @ every who asked me about DH
This is NOT how new players react to Cello when the first encounter him. As soon as I saw this I knew he was scum.
The first one surprised me that he didn't say anything more confrontational, then the second one reeks of being told to listen to cello by a scumbuddy. No joke. Even without the massive 180 the second post alone would confirm his scummity in my eyes
Because I didn't understand what he was saying until recently.Cello said:@DH: Why did it take you so long to FINALLY respond to X1, AND after I pointed out that you hadn't THREE times?
Did you mean 'Tomorrow' or 'ToMorrow'? The latter, with the odd capitalisation, referring to in-game days.Will catch up on the rest later. And post more from toMorrow on.
