[§tarshy]

cello is there something about our answer to your earlier question that gave you gg vibes? was there a way to respond to that question thatd look scummy?

i agree that that summoner guy be lookin like straight scum up in here

unvote vote scummoner

[Cello_Marl]

@Steel: "Our"? You'll notice that I only quoted "Marshy". Still, the question you just posed to me is set up in my own style. What fun. Also, buddying. Also, not on it's own.

@Marc:
1) Cautious when you see something you don't comprehend the use of.
2) Willing to waste time (precious, limited time, 8 days remember) by waiting for clarification; i.e. little initiative.
3) I don't know how serious he was being on his last post. If serious, he's pushing for people based on nothing, which I could see as distancing. If not, then it's just an exacerbation of point 2, and he owes me a third point.

Currently changing vote from RVS to semi-cereal. Also willing to change to Summoner if we'll go through with the lynch if we have to get to L-1 just for pressure, and he doesn't subsequently claim PR. Wasting 1/4 of the Day with only the post he has placed? For shame.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Cello your second and third point is null.

Willing to waste time? That's just farfetched, is it strange to question a 'random' vote?
Pushing for people based on nothing? Pushing = CONSIDERING it a problem? Twisting words much? Besides, it IS based on nothing, and that is the problem... There is nothing to say about them.

**** just got real, yo.

Are you a Jester? =|

You've singled me out since the beginning with questions that are quite frankly just weird, not to mention the fact that you voted for me while I hadn't checked the game after your previous post and you're just assuming things when I don't play along. Isn't the fact that I subtly pointed out that others have contributed far less testimony to the fact that I don't like to waste time. Have you considered that I might consider this a waste of time? I can do some nice image management and paint myself as a clever veteran, but what would you gain from that? I don't owe you anything.

 

[SummonerAU]

I'm sorry Cello I don't know how to get out of RVS well. I thought it would kinda happen like in the other games I've played.

Should I be claiming?

I'll get back to whoever wants me to claim once I get to uni and have some free time. Probably around 4 hours from now. Right now I am very against claiming so early in the game.

 

[#HBC | Mac]

posting so i don't gets proddsed

 

[Kataefi]

Summoner why on earth would you claim now? =?

Also Cello when you first came into this game did you pick your chosen 3 there and then entirely on gut instinct and random thinking or is there something a little less random about them?

 

[SummonerAU]

I'm at L-1 afaik

 

[SummonerAU]

I dunno, I've never been at L-1 WHAT DO I DO D:

 

[Marc]

Vote: Macman

Not acceptable.

 

[Mayling]

Whew, man, I reread and that was a lot to go through.

Are you a Jester? =|

No. It's just Cello being himself.

I dunno, I've never been at L-1 WHAT DO I DO D:

Sweety, you only have one vote.

 

[§tarshy]

@Steel: "Our"? You'll notice that I only quoted "Marshy". Still, the question you just posed to me is set up in my own style. What fun. Also, buddying. Also, not on it's own.

i might (and probs marshy too) end up saying "our" or "us" when the other person spoke. probs bcuz they agreed. and in my defense the avy is pri good

summoner u have 1 vote. surprised that u think u might have to claim. and dont know how to get out of rvs? why arent u doing ur 20 questions thing

fos summoner
unvote vote macman

~§teel

 

[§tarshy]

summoner u have 1 vote. surprised that u think u might have to claim.

now I ask you this summoner, do you think anyone would claim scum in this game? claims are absolutely pointless

[Kataefi]

Summoner
Just curiously for my own peace of mind because I don't think we've met before =), but how often have you played mafia? You're not at L-1 atm so this whole WHAT DO I DO persona isn't necessary and I don't think ever needed to be at such an early stage in the game.

Unless you were joking... it's looking a tad bit too forced to me sorry =(

 

[Mayling]

Summoner looking odd to me too.

Les get 'em.

 

[SummonerAU]

Oh gawd, I misread the votecount. I am so embarassed right now.

I've only played afew other times before

 

[SummonerAU]

EBWOP, I read Marc as myself for some strange reason.

 

[SummonerAU]

Seeing as thought, I'm pretty sure it's late night ET time atm, I hope you'll forgive the triple post. I'm a little more composed now.

@Steel/Marshy: I am suprised too. I only know how to ask question when there's something easy to ask questions about. I'd have to pick questions out of the air here and I haven't plaeyd enough to know them yet.

:| I was so red after rereading.

 

[Cello_Marl]

Almost anytime you seriously ask yourself, "Are you a Jester?" about me, I'm town.

@CielSempai: Just ask something that you think reveals something indirectly through the person's response or lack thereof.

Like...what's the longest amount of time that you've gone without posting in a thread?

The answer itself is immaterial. What I'd look for is 1) whether you thought it was important enough to respond to, 2) whether or not you took the time to look up the correct answer, 3) how quickly you answer, and 4) if there are other responses that you elect to answer before or after my own.

A warning though; my thought processes appear to be drastically different from the other players here. Mayling knows how I think, and can interpret, but she doesn't think like me. She's normal. I'm Extra stage. I need to go beat Flan now.

I'm getting town reads from Xonar, Meimu, Kevom (though for a bad reason, and after thinking about it, maybe Xiivi is messing with us? Nah.), and the Cellos.

I wanna votes for Summoner...but I'd feel bad if we're wrong, and I'm still getting a bad bad bad bad bad feeling from the Marx. You dot commie.

I want Kat to claim.

 

[Mayling]

Can I change my name to Cello_Translator?

 

[Mayling]

Why not (do a crazy dance)?

unvote vote summonererererer

you be acting fishier than fish and chips

 

[Kataefi]

Cello cello cello...... what a post. It was an interesting read Would you say your thoughts are quite scattered at this point in time? I really don't know how you want me to react to the last part...

For example:

Have I posted this too soon? too late? Why am I addressing it? Why not ignore it? etc etc... I'm not feeling the underlying principle behind your public guidelines there - the way you've created a nice little mechanism that moves completely under your own conditions. I think if anything, yes it's lovely to reveal your motivations and make a personal mini-guide in finding truths behind people's posts, but I think in your case it would have been much wiser to keep that a little more subtle.

Why such a contrast from left4scum btw?
_

@Marc - what was post #40 about just out of curiosity? I think Kevtom wins best joke posts in this thread so far, no? especially considering they've all been only joke posts.
_

Yes, 5am >_> so impressed I haven't succumbed to any extreme formatting of my posts yet... though I can feel my posts snowballing into bigger things.

 

[Marc]

So far the best course of action seems to be to do the opposite of what Cello posts. As in, don't claim. -_-

In post #40 I confused the names of Marshy and Macman, but it was about how little Summoner and MACMAN had posted up till that point. I'm hoping Kevin/Tom has a post restriction, I'd be disappointed with them if they were treating the game like a joke.

Unless your experience with Summoner suggests otherwise, I just see an inexperienced player that gets flustered under (perceived) pressure.

 

[Moriarty]

Well Marc, if you think that's a problem, tell us how we're going to get out of the RV/bull**** stage kthnx.

Vote Xonar

[SummonerAU]

Cello, assuming I was at L-1 at the time I said I was, do you think I should have role claimed if asked to?

(Okay, I'm going to refer to the person who signed off on the post I'm replying to)
Marshy, I'm kinda confused at your question, why would anyone ever claim scum? It might just be I'm not used to your posting style as of yet. Is it a joke question?

Moriaty, must you post images all the time? At home, my internet isn't the greatest so it's a little annoying on my end. Unless you mean you actually have a post restriction in that case, getting @ you Xiivi.

Macman, where you at?

To all, I'm especially sorry for the confusion here, I also seem to get something massively wrong at the start of games

 

[#HBC | Mac]

macman who do u think has a better name us or moriarty

~§teel

i can't decide =/

 

[#HBC | Mac]

Moriarty is the better hydra so far. So you, starshy, should step it up.

vote: xonar

so I came here thinking that some stuff had actually happened. I was very dissapoint

cello's probs town.

 

[Cello_Marl]

Why such a contrast from left4scum btw?

Because I'm scum again and I feel so intimidated by your presence that I did a complete 163 degree turn of my normal activity level and playstyle so that you will be confused and be thrown off my trail.

/not being sarcastic

@Kataefi: Why did you respond to that? Actually, after RVS, the One Truth about my analysis style is "Anytime, anyone, says anything, ask yourself, 'What does this person want me to believe?'"

Still waiting on that claim.

@Marc: Why did you think I was serious about Kat claiming? Also, if you consider a waste of time, why did even bother giving a "third" point? I ALREADY KNOW YOUR ANSWER.

@All: In my head, I've been clearing Moriarty because I just don't see a mod giving that sort of post restriction to a bg. But...it's the Xiivis. He might just be twisted enough to do such a thing. What do you all thinkies?

I need to stop twitch-clearing May.

@Summoner: What does your gut tell you? Also, why were you interested in my opinion specifically?

Which part? If Captain Crunch vote, it's because of the way he's trust trying to get attention away from him. It's rubs me the wrong way. If pressure kill comment, it was more of a, if he doesn't say anything and we had to go that far business. When you need water in Western Hemisphere deserts, you rip open the Cacti (or anything that looks like it).

Is deadpan sarcasm? I don't think it is.

 

[SummonerAU]

Also willing to change to Summoner if we'll go through with the lynch if we have to get to L-1 just for pressure, and he doesn't subsequently claim PR.

This part in particular.

My gut? I just want to clarify, do you want me to list my suspicious so far(even if they're for petty thing) or do you want me to say who is scum but I have conscious reason for it at this time? I ask because I don't like gut feelings at all. I don't see how it helps you but I'll be happy to give it to you if you want it.

@CielSempai: Just ask something that you think reveals something indirectly through the person's response or lack thereof.

Like...what's the longest amount of time that you've gone without posting in a thread?

The answer itself is immaterial. What I'd look for is 1) whether you thought it was important enough to respond to, 2) whether or not you took the time to look up the correct answer, 3) how quickly you answer, and 4) if there are other responses that you elect to answer before or after my own.

I just noticed this was directed at me lol. I'm obviously Curry-sensei. I don't really like some stages of it, as they could be affected by outside sources (the person's state of mind at the current time). I, for one, believe I post quite differently at times. With that said, I haven't played as many games as you.

Oh, I generally try to answer all questions posed to me. If I don't, it's either because I read it and forgot about it or I didn't have time to answer it. Just mention the question again and I'll probably answer it. Just a general heads up for everyone. With that said, I'll think you're a jerk if you don't answer mine >:

 

[Cello_Marl]

@Summoner: I think you/I missed something here. When I said, "Gut" I was referring to your question of whether or not you should claim, i.e. do you think you should claim if you were at L-1? (So, I wasn't asking for suspicions at all. But, why do you feel that you have to be asked?) We're literally told that we should, because we are theoretically inclined to perform every possible action to fulfill our win condition, but other outside factors might influence that decision.

Ultimately, taking any unorthodox action is exchanging short term advantage for a chance to change the current metagame. There are hundreds of ways that this place's playstyle norm could evolve if "don't claim/don't believe claims" became the norm, most of which I've not even considered.

However, we have digressed from this game, and this is turning into a strategy discussion.

Sidenote: We have the same amount of XP. New 3, L4S, Miller, Bat, Down, This.

 

[Mayling]

So far the best course of action seems to be to do the opposite of what Cello posts. As in, don't claim. -_-

I'm getting town reads from Xonar, Meimu, Kevom (though for a bad reason, and after thinking about it, maybe Xiivi is messing with us? Nah.), and the Cellos.

The same goes for when he clears someone.
That means Xonar, Meimi (that's me!), Kevom, or Cellos is da bad guy.

I'm inclined to think Kevom. Let's put him at l-1/l-2 and see if they squeak.

unvote: vote Kevom

Because I'm scum again and I feel so intimidated by your presence that I did a complete 163 degree turn of my normal activity level and playstyle so that you will be confused and be thrown off my trail.

/not being sarcastic

Is deadpan sarcasm? I don't think it is.

Yes it is.

I need to stop twitch-clearing May.

What do you mean by twitch-clearing, and why do you think you do it?

 

[Kataefi]

Cello I think your aim to be as confusing as possible for your own meta/survival is not very pro-town as a whole in this game. Quotes like...

Because I'm scum again and I feel so intimidated by your presence that I did a complete 163 degree turn of my normal activity level and playstyle so that you will be confused and be thrown off my trail.

/not being sarcastic

...whether sarcy or not does nothing to help town hunt scum. I'm finding a lot of what you say confusing and wasteful.

I like your idea right now mayling

vote: Moriarty aka Tevkom

Yes I am sorry since I'm expressing interest in (especially) Cello and little bit of Summoner but I really think you should post some words or quote a sentence... if it is a posting restriction then it's a berluddy hard one - I fail to see how useful you can be with nothing but moving pictures. Surprise me!

 

[Kataefi]

Yes

I forgot to unvote

Unvote, Vote: Macman, you gonna do anything?

And Cello, like I asked you in Millers, please stop posting confusing/fluffy things. Okay, thanks.
-----------------------
Oh and people, stop giving clears because of post restrictions. Seriously, it works the reverse way.
