Wall Time....
...Ask Hipster about Newbie 18... She will probably say to never trust anyone.
Yeah...Hipster...I hard-bussed her straight into the ground last time.
While I do agree you shouldn't trust people, I don't believe in the "Give people a chance" mentality either. I'm more of a guilty until proven innocent fan. And that's how I intend to go about this game.
@VitaminC - I don't mind at all. Let me start off with the pregame aspect. After a person discovers their role, it's part of their subconscious. Scum have the intention of appearing town, so they put up barriers, often without even realizing it, to protect themselves. Quite a bit went on before Day 1 even began, and it doesn't seem very sensible to disregard it. People have motives, and it should be a goal to understand those motives and how they would be accomplished.
Unless I tell you something like : I confirmed my role pm without reading it.
Which I did. My entire post game up to when I started question people was going at it blind.
Would this change your view on my posts ?
Before you stated that you believed most of what was happening was a BS stage and I recall asking you about your swap to regarding it. You even cited a point where you pushed off the "BS" stage ideal.
@CloverWould it be fair to say you will re-reading all of what occurred pre-game or have you gotten what you need out of it ?
And no, I'm not suspicious of Rake. Or anyone at this point. It's too early to point fingers.
It's too early to point fingers...but yet you've already listed off your "bad vibes" scum list.
Did you feel pressured into creating that list ?
Was it an attempt to draw reactions ?
What if I told you that your sudden jump from "too early to point fingers " and "give everyone a chance" mentality, to creating a scum list this early in the game, was scummy activity to me ?
You've stated these are "bad vibe" picks. But you have no content to actually back it up yet. It seems to me like your reaching to create content and using "bad vibes" to justify it. It seems to me you were happy to give people a chance...except for these bad vibe picks.
@Homeslice : Lets disregard the scum list for a second.
Had you already decided on who would receive this "Give everyone a chance mentality ?
Has J or any of your other picks posts changed these bad vibes ?
@Ran: What do you think of this jump ? Is it even a jump ? Why or Why not ?
@Everyone: What do you think of buddying? How does it apply as a tell in your pov? (Buddying is when two people buddy up, such as "Let's be friends" or alliances etc)
Buddying is an interesting way of testing people's reaction to said buddying.
In my last game Newbie 18, I was buddies with Zen & Vinyl, but it didn't really matter that much because I eventually called them scum... Buddying is only a problem when you don't have a correct read on that person. It doesn't tell me all that much unless one of the people are really happy to get into it, it says to me that they're scum and are happily being accepted.
I'm not going to do it but I don't really care all that much if others do. Like I've said "Trust no one, suspect everyone."
Yes and last newbie game I avoided touching your posts like the plague.
And buddying can work both ways(I think someone stated as much).
You get too attached to them and suddenly your hammering town left and right.
Look and what happened to Soup in Newbie 18. Once zen was sold on his scumminess he tunnelled him straight into the ground and Soup got lynched. It gave Badwulf that extra night phase and was a direct result of town buddying and fighting with itself. At least thats how I saw it. Badwulf and J could comment on it with a greater accuracy.
Wait, you're not seriously voting for me right? That would be a weird reason to lynch someone.
From now on, I guess I'll just stick striclty to the game.
How you explained buddying, I think that it sounds like it could make people suspicious. Personally, I'm guessing it's not somehting you'd want to do.
Wonder what J's doing right now? Suprised that he hasn't anything yet.
Hm. Oh well.
1) RVS is lolcatz awesome sauce.
You could vote J for having a letter instead of a username if you wanted to.
2) Why do you wonder what J's doing ? As I recall J posted directly above you (not sure on post order right now you can correct me if you like ). Were you planning on buddying J until you saw the buddying post and decided to comment and disagree with it ?
@HomesliceWhy does J's lack of content surprise you ? Is this part of your suspicion on J ?
What are your thoughts on a player like VitamenC who has posted one time (at the time of me posting this).
Well, as much as your saying makes sense, doesn't that seem a bit harsh? I mean, if you suspect everyone, that really doesn't give anyone a chance to say that they aren't scum.
That's just what I think. I think you can trust some people. Maybe just not right off the bat.
I say, "Give people a chance".
You can trust some people, Give people a chance , and yet....Scum list already based on what you describe as "bad vibes".
@ VitaminC: What do you think about this selective chance and trust giving ?
Also, Badwulf...well. Sometimes he sounds scumy, but I think he's honestly just being normal or something. Not entirely sure. I wouldn't put it past him though.
But I've seen your gameplay before. Trying to put the attention on someone else while you kill someone, eh? Now, I'm not sure- but I'm just being cautious about you, J.
Here you have already pushed J and Badwulf's chance out the window I assume ?
Does your caution at J's play over-ride this chance you give to players ?
As well you essentially post nothing helpful in regards to Badwulf.
Sometimes he sounds scummy , but he's just being normal or something. Not entirely sure.
If your not sure, why mention it ? It literally achieves nothing to post this opinion.
You manage to go through three phases on Badwulf's slot in one sentance. It seems like your leaving yourself doors to go through , whatever the case may be on him.
@Homeslice: Right now if you had to peg Badwulf's play , would it be scummy or towny ?
Are you aware you did the same thing you condemn J for doing ?
Trying to put the attention on someone else while you kill someone, eh? Now, I'm not sure- but I'm just being cautious about you, J.
You attempt to deflect attention from yourself and push it to Badwulf and J's slots.
I'm more leaning towards J, but that could change. Of course, my suspisions of J aren't from that, but from playing with him in real life-
Again, very open stance wrt to J. I'm leaning on J, but it could change. What would change it exactly ? If J successfully kills off scum ? If J becomes the popular town pick ?
You seem to be questioning your own stance wrt J's slot. I know it's D1, but this seems very flippy floppy to me. You put J on your scum list later on , but it's a list of bad vibes. The most you have come up with is "bad vibes" and J's IRL play.
@Homeslice: Will you be focusing on J all game ?
Who would become prime suspect number 2 , were we to hammer J and have J flip townie ?
It's not that I have a scum read, it's just that it seems like his regular game plan. And he's using you as his main decor. It would be a likely cover-up to say that since you act well as scum, you may be one. He's using that to his advantage, and you'll see that he tries to find anything scumy on all the players. Anyone but himself is how he plays (from what I can tell).
My scum reads are (fyi: I feel vibes)
J
Hipster (I'm being serious Hipster)
Clover
maybe badwolf. But I'll look into that later.
@J: What's your defense in not being scum?
That's 4/12 players as scum in one read based on D1 "bad vibes"
Plus you directly contradict yourself in this post:
It's not that I have a scum read it's just that it seems like his regular game plan...
My scum reads are (fyi: I feel vibes)
J
Hipster (I'm being serious Hipster)
Clover
maybe badwolf. But I'll look into that later.
You cannot not have scum reads and then proceed to create a list of scum reads.
You seem to be adopting the very same gameplay that you find scummy about J.
It would be a likely cover-up to say that since you act well as scum, you may be one. He's using that to his advantage, and you'll see that he tries to find anything scumy on all the players. Anyone but himself is how he plays
You already have "bad vibes" on 4/12 players and have of this post , not claimed to like or trust in what other players are saying.
Are we to assume these others are null in your eyes until you post otherwise ?
@J
Like I said before, sometimes I get vibes just by reading posts. I look at what the players are saying, but then I look deeper into it like 'why? motives? cover-ups? past-experiances?' Stuff like that. I'm not a raw analyzer, I play by extrasensory-feelings and a wee bit of facts.
With Hipster I just feel like she's trying to hard to act normal (I don't know why though)
Clover because he's really analyzing people, and when someone over-thinks/ over-analyzes, I get suspicious. I'm still not sure about you ( I don't like that you role-claimed) But that could be me just being already overly-cautious. And yes, other games do count because how a person plays is how a person plays, even if slight adjustments are made.
But really, who knows? There could be scum just watching this all play-out, sittin' back and seeing us rip each other apart. We have to be alert, but not so alert that we jump on people for litlte mistakes and/or acusations. Think things through, guys.
If your looking deeper into it, why have you not brought a case against J , Hipster or Clover up to this point ? Are you comfortable making a case on any of them at this point?
Well, I wasn't trying to be iffy. Sorry 'bout that. It's just that I've looked at the Rosario Vampire game and saw people accusing others pretty quickly. I don't like when players do that. It seems unfair. I'm not saying that sometimes it doesn't turn out well, but I was just saying because I want to avoid this game harboring bad feelings cuz of how people act.
Again, you state your not trying to be iffy , but I have just shown multiple posts where you approach it in exactly that manner.
Do players accuse each other ? Yes. Was it unfair ? In some cases (like Soups) It was borderline.
Also I had Lolli stuff but Lolli's stuff is hellsa annoying to quote with all those colour tags around it.
