I suspect him but I'm not sure whether this behavior is normal for him or not. Is this normal behavior of Max? I believe you also ignored the section that says I'm not getting good reads on people.
So what?
You're going to let yourself get stopped because you don't know Max White's meta? You're new; you're not going to know a lot of people's meta before a good long while. In fact, while you're new, this is going to happen more often than not.
You still have to vote somebody.
I fail to see how that's a slip-up. Thanks for the tip though. By the same implication any insult thrown at me that I just ignore is true. And if I have a technical question I'm going to ask it and not care about how scummy I look.
It's a horrible slipup. I called you and Cmega3 scumbuddies. You did not deny this.
Recognition of a tactic is not an invalidation of its content.
I'm glad I'm back too. At the moment I'd vote Max, but until someone answers my questions on playstyle I'm going to wait.
And what if you never find out whether this is typical for Max White or not?
Are you just going to sit around, paralyzed by it?
You can't sit on your hands forever. At some point you're going to have to decide on you're own whether you really mean it or not.
PersusWhy are you buddying me Cmega3? Why should you care so much about a question I asked? It won't have much effect on you and will have a big impact on me. Are you scum that thinks buddying a newbie town will get him lynched?
...Buddying suspicion + a vote? Buddying in this scenario is that much of a tell to place your vote on?
It seemed pretty suspicious to me as the one getting buddied, particularly as I couldn't really think why Cmega3 would ask the question as he isn't the one being voted at the moment. And his question about busing right above his question to Jim seems suspicious in context. Cmega may be a newb, but he hasn't really behaved the way I'd expect him to as a newb. His reasons seem odd even for newb reasons. And his concern at my question seemed too interested for town.
I think you need to elaborate further on this.
How was his question buddying?
How is he not acting like you'd expect him to?
Broad, hand-wavy arguments aren't convincing and they make it seem like you have reasons when you really don't.
Now - Why does my saying and asking about the words 'Jim is quiet' rate a double dose of profanity from you, when the first time those words were posted you were... completely quiet... in reaction to them?
But Toaster is cool.
Oh, and forgive me that I couldn't appreciate the subtleties in what you were saying, that, when you said "Jim is quiet," you in fact meant, "Toaster, you said Jim is quiet," something which would have no doubt been made abundantly clear to me had I read your post. Because your posts are
art. In a true reversal of expectation, I assumed that in a 4500 word post there was no room or even need for subtelty; how happy I am to have been proven wrong. Clearly this discovery adds a whole new dimension to my previous impressions of your post; whereas before they were long and tall, they are also now
deep. All fine, excellent mafia qualities.
Nerjin's meta analysis
Well, this is interesting.
Are these all his latest games?
We have 10 people posting very actively. Having me throw walls of text at people I'm not particularly focused on just throws out chaff.
Everybody else is doing work so you don't have to?
Yeah, right. You're making excuses for yourself so you don't have to hunt.
@Jim Groove:
Why are Cmega3 and Persus13 scum buddies again? Also you seem pretty relaxed, are you enjoying yourself?
I accused Persus13 of being buddies with Cmega3 because Persus13 clarified, or reminded, or whatevered, Cmega3 that his uncolored unvote of NQT early in the game was not valid. It looked visibly like Persus13 was looking out for Cmega3, which I found odd and notable and seemed like evidence of collusion. I accused them of being buddies mostly to get a reaction out of Persus13.
I don't find the tell very valid, and it's not a significant part of my case on Persus13. I'm more or less convinced that Persus13 is scum because he has yet to vote anybody despite suspecting Max White.
Relaxed? I'm halfway to full-on swear mode. This game is resembling homework more than a little and I am losing patience.
I was trying to start to know you guys. Not only good for now, but for later games I may play in. I thought it was implicit.
You did it again!
What
specifically were you trying to find out?
Never mind, I don't care anymore. Clearly I'm not going to get a response any different than the one you gave.
@Jim Groovester - What do you think is suspicious about Persus asking me if I would unvote NQT? I'd not posted for a while, he could've thought I wasn't gonna unvote or was undesicive.
I don't know how someone asking another person a question could be scumtell for both of them. Especially if it happened nine pages ago and nothing else particularly suspicious happened.
See my response to ToonyMan.
Imp, so your argument against ToonyMan is that he's scum because he's lazy because he hasn't had the time to post more than superficial content and analysis on players in the game. And that he wants to win without effort.
And that these two points in concert together paint ToonyMan as lazy, selfish, malicious, corner-utting, narrowminded, selfish, lazy, inconsiderate, lazy, selfish scum.
I think you're underestimating the amount of time that school and mafia take (for any college age player there's often not time enough for both), and I think you're extrapolating a pattern on limited evidence.
