Ok, so I acknowledged some of the suspicions about Joker and went to analyze what he's done on my own.
Well, enough horsing around, lets dive right in, shall we? Since this is my first game, and I know very little about you all, I figure I'll just cut to the core with my first question. Anyone can answer this if they feel up to it.
How well do you think you'll do this game? Are you confident you can convince everyone that you are town?
For a first game, you definitely had a bold start. You immediately started asking giving questions to others. This approach was quite different from other first gamers, considering some of them haven't even made enough posts to make reads on them. You may be trying to lead us into thinking you're ok.
Then, you said this a little later:
I feel like I've gotten what I wanted out of Badwolf. But Toasterbrains has been lurking a lot without posting much. Any particular reason you decided to choose me for your first vote, toaster? Why so quiet?
/unvote Badwolf
/vote Toasterbrains
This leads me to believe that you think lurking without posting seems scummy. You've been taking the exact opposite route so far: you've been the most vocal person in this game by far. Perhaps you think it'll make you seem less suspicious?
I'm glad RVS didn't last that long.
Joker, could you tell me what you were trying to gain asking Toaster such a loaded question? What's with your vote on Badwolf? He did nothing telling of alignment and it was weird for you to jump like that.
Soup pointed this out too. For a first timer, it was quite weird for you to jump out like that. Again, you've been extremely active.
The purpose is to gain reads off people's answer to the question. It's the begining of the game, and I thought I'd get people talking instead of just voting at random.
My vote on Badwolf is just to get my vote out there. He was the first person to give me any reason. I'm sure it'll move, unless of course Badwolf continues giving me reasons to keep it there.
You have been giving reasoning. You always have reasoning in your posts actually. This is something the easy targets (tonberry and toaster) have failed to do for their actions so far. Maybe you're just getting ready for accusations.
^ I was just about to bring that up.
BSP, hasn't the conversation up to this point given you anything to go on? What's your opinion of the exchange between Badwolf and myself? Do you think Badwolf might be town? What about me?
Again, definitely the most active person.
You're trying to get his head in the game, cuz based on his post asking other people to make his decisions for him, it clearly is not. Hopefully having to defend himself will get him thinking.
I have to say I agree with that sentiment, and since I legitimately think Toaster was just RVSing and pressuring him isn't going anywhere, I'll join you on that.
Unvote
Vote BSP
Active.
I feel like even someone who was sheeping would be a little less obvious than literally asking who he should vote for. If BSP is, in fact, just sheeping to keep a low profile, then he's doing a terrible job and needs to start thinking before he posts. Trying to keep a low profile could just as easily be noob town as it could be noob scum.
This sentence right here fortifies my idea that you do know the implications of maintaining a low profile, and again, you've definitely made yourself known this game. Maybe you are avoiding a low profile on purpose?
Okay so Joker's really putting himself out there, especially since this is his first game (right?) I have a hard time seeing him do that as scum.
vote: BSP
Tonberry noticed you putting yourself out there a lot too.
And again Tonberry, that vote on me was hella suspicious. Maybe it was innocent though, I can't tell.
So anyways, up to this point, I thought I had a decent case on looking at Joker, but then he did this:
I'd actually be a little upset if we did lynch BSP and he flipped mafia. I mean, it'd be nice to lynch mafia and all but to get him because of such an obvious noob play would feel extremely unsatisfying. I'm sure not gonna take my vote off him unless he convinces me otherwise.
I actually don't want BSP lynched yet. He hasn't been around to answer to the pressure being put on him. Since he's this close, i'm gonna
unvote before he gets potentially hammered by scum trying to get an early town lynch.
He makes his unvote before I even say anything, and he didn't really have any reason to either. No one was suspecting him actively or anything, and I was still 2 votes away. If he were scum, he wouldn't care if I got lynched or not, right?
So I'm on the fence with him...he's still pretty suspicious. All this activity for a first timer, especially compared to all of the other first timers, is a little suspicious if you ask me. He's also acted very differently from the other 1st timers, indicated by his posts with actual reasoning and no random votes (minus the first one I guess). I think he knows what he's doing.
Opinions? Maybe he did that unvote intentionally just in case people started suspecting him. Getting lynch kills is just a bonus for scum, so he may not care about them that much, thus, the unvote.
But try to spark a debate with me and you probably won't get much other than "okay".
