Tylui:Leafsnail, Deathsword, MrCelt, and Bookthras: I've never seen you on Bay12 at all, I don't think, though I don't lurk as often as I used to. When did you join the forums and why?
First of all, as has been said before: do not
ever,
ever,
EVER! edit your posts in a mafia game. That's massively uncool and is likely to get you modkilled if you do it again. I understand that mistakes happen, please make sure you understand it was a mistake and that
it should not happen again.As to your question: yes, we've played together before: back on BYOR5, where you were Samus Aran, and ToonyMan was the Webadict, I
accused you of being the webadict yourself. At the time, I was using the moniker "Zathras", I am now "Bookthras". Details are complicated, let's just say I'm what's left after life's mandibles chewed up and excreted the remains of Zathras and Book... but it's still me who said that then.
I joined a little over two years ago. I had played forum mafia a bit elsewhere, and when that group dissolved someone pointed me here; I lurked for a few weeks reading old games, and came to the conclusion I liked the style and the fauna, so I joined
BMXIV and a bit later
BYOR4....the rest, as they say, is history.
Tiruin:Bookthras: Why did you change your avatar?
You may have to google this, but a minor interesting point of recent politics in the US was an election, where one of the candidates expressed displeasure with funding for Sesame Street. He lost. Some of us who opposed him and are strong advocates for the sort of education
cookie monster represents choose to make that explicit now, both as support and as gloating for them fuckers who were sooo wrong. 8-P
Why? I love them and things like them. I learned to read and sum with Sesame Street; I learned English (not my first language) with
similar efforts. May they all live long and have oodles of taxpayer money to support them. I pay taxes, and I want them to thrive. Better that than wars in the middle east any day.
Why now? The forum was sort of dead for a couple of days; buggy connectivity, 504s, plus wuba faking injuries to delay shipping roles left me nothing to do, so I did a bit of maintenance on avatars and sigs...
Man, this post turned out much more navel-gazing than I expected. Apologies for that. Back to the game now.
Bookthras: If you were an SK, which players in this game would you want to be mafiosos?
Hmmm... no real preference, but I'd prefer one scum to be obviously scummy, so I could advocate his lynch and gain town points that way.
How does this answer the question, and...what is meant by the bolded portion? I can't get what you mean there.
It answers it, just leaves out names because I have no individual preferences. For the bolded part, if I were a Serial Killer, I would look for ways to look town; there is no better way to do that than lynching a scum, so I'd like a scum to trip so I could do that. Before you ask: yes, I would wish the same as town as well. As scum I wouldn't because it would mean lynching a buddy.
Aaaand the preview button strikes again!
Off-topic maybe, but: what's your beef with the preview button? It works just fine as far as I can tell. If the infrastructure works, your trying to blame your posting mishaps on it may become scummy. Or please explain your difficulties.
Dariush:Why do you think Shakerag's questions are that different from yours? Anyone could just say that 'oh I'm looking for reactions to my posts' as an excuse for not giving...well, food for thought, to use a literary device. What kind of reaction were you looking for other than "Wow look at that, posting words backwards," and the inevitable question for you on why you did that?
I would also like to hear your detailed, non backwards response to this.
Leafsnail:Leafsnail: Say you are scum and your buddy is leading in votes for the lynch; you can vote someone else to tie the vote. Do you tie the vote for a nolynch, vote your buddy to secure a bus, or let him die while trying to stay under the radar by doing neither?
In a role heavy game I'd save them to help maintain a buffer against PR randomness. In a role light game I will judge whether they'd be scummy enough for me to vote as town and then act accordingly.
This is a role heavy game, and the game where I asked the question. Is your answer then "I'd save them"? Would you tie the vote for a nolynch?
Shakerag:Do you think there will be a "theme" to abilities in this BYOR, like the ressurrections in the last one?
rolefishing
No, it isn't. What makes you think this is rolefishing?
