This is going to be long. Sorry for the absence.
Explain which side of the fluff-line Toaster's question, your answer to it, and your answering question each falls on? If these are not fluffy to you, what is the useful purpose you see these serving?
Toaster, your 'answer' to my question was amusing and somewhat fits theme.
I am wondering if your 'peg' is too heavy for you or something. I was going to study your 'avast' answer a bit and try and figure out if it had a coded hidden meaning or something, but there was your spoiler to consider too.
So are you telling me that you and Jim are just joking about the fluff? What purpose do you believe that serves in this game for you or him?
Or are you telling me in an artistic and amusing fashion that you're just not going to answer my question?
Because you didn't answer it, and you've made two comments to Jim this game that, other than sounding themey, actually are linguistic nonsense.
Jim: Arrr. Be ye a swarthy enough pirate to see us out of this mess?
Translated into modern English, you asked him if his skin's dark enough to see us out of this mess.
Aye. Be ye a seaworthy enough sailor to smoothly sail to safety?
He answered you -yes-, but his follow up question uses language in a sensible fashion, without logical contradiction. Your reply is even more nonsensical than your first Pirate theme question:
I'm going to avast this ship until we sail over some land lubbers.
That seems to be a no in reply to his question - because you just said you were stopping the ship until you sail over some newbies (assuming land-lubbers in context are those without Mafia-legs yet).
What are you doing with this? Why are you doing it? Why didn't you answer my question, and why did you throw a 'labeled as a joke' joke at me in place of an answer?
Why does this bother you so much?
Jim:
Is your GPA going to allow you to play this game, or are you going to have to lurk through it for at least the next week? If lurking's the answer your GPA needs, are you going to replace or will we have to decide if we're better off lynching you to not without your input?
Well, damn, with such tough talk I'm definitely going to come out and play right fucking now, instead of when my schedule permits.
<3 Imp, only you can take me away from my homework.
I have no intention of replacing out as of now, but I've seriously considered it.
Have you reached a point where you just don't think you're going to get to do anything cool as any role now, because you're getting targeted period too much or something? Where's your -play-, man? Where's the skill and art that others have spoken of admiring you for?
I'm almost tempted to toss a 'knock knock joke' at you. But if you 'answered' it I'd only be saying to you 'Can Jim come out and play, please?'.
I GET IT
I HAVENT BEEN ACTIVE
I KNOW
Jim I'll leave the interpretation to you, but please do read two pages in exact next time?
I don't quite feel up to looking through your posts in the detail required to figure out what both of you are talking about, could you provide me a clean summary of your arguments against each other?
I mean, I could also not quite feel up to caring but hey, you noticed the shallow detail there! It's only a few pages back!
Yeah, yeah, I'm a horrible person and a horrible player, what with all these
priorities and other
stupid shit going on.
Continue along the post line and you'll see strange reasons back and forth.
On rereading this I still don't understand (or care) what you're both arguing about.
I'll just go do my own thing.
I understand your reasoning here but I question whether it's as all-important as you seem to be implying.
Is interfering with another player's scumhunting typically a tell associated with scum players?
Well it wasn't last time.
So of course it must be this time, right?
If there isn't even a pattern a single game long where answering another person's question is a scumtell, what the hell are you doing?
Tiruin & Max White, since you've both voted each other and I don't quite feel up to looking through your posts in the detail required to figure out what both of you are talking about, could you provide me a clean summary of your arguments against each other?
Basically I saw Tiruin do something interesting, so I bought it up and she got somewhat agitated by the fact that I was singling her out. So following on from that I voted for her to see how that would go and she got so annoyed she decided to return the favor.
I honestly don't care very much about her answering my question for me, it is the kind of thing people sometimes do, but when she is throwing out OMGUS votes to people this early as an act of aggression that is a little more interesting.
This reminds me of you in Supernatural 6 on Day 1 against NQT.
Wherein, you say that you saw something a player do, then you say your target gets all bothered by it, and suddenly you have instant justification for your vote.
Basically, I smell bullshit.
Wait, this is actually your most recent post in this thread. That's almost an absences as long as mine. Where the hell did you disappear to?
Because it's a tacit admission that he's perfectly within his rights to hold whatever suspicions he wants to regarding me. His suspicions are not based on facts, but on intuition, hunch, whatever, but that does not make them any less valid for him to hold.
Clarify for me: What's valid, for him to have suspicions to hold, or the suspicions themselves?
Regardless, as before, you're free to be suspicious based on your read of my actions, but your suspicion is misplaced. Barring my death and a role/alignment flip, however, I can't prove that you're wrong. If my assertion, based on the facts that I have but cannot prove, that you're wrong makes you more suspicious, then so be it.
Declarations of townhood are completely empty.
As to the scum-hunting, forgive me if it seems I'm not. I'm unused to this style of Q&A scum-hunting, with random, or seemingly so, "What if..." questions posed and answered. Perhaps I was rash in jumping into this game immediately, but it looked interesting. I have itches that make me lean toward a couple as scum, but I haven't clarified for myself yet how much of that is an emotional lizard-brain response, and how much is logic.
It's not about the random Q&A. The random questions don't turn up anything. Sadly, they're sort of necessary to actually get the game going.
There are substantive issues to talk about and discuss, and asking players about them is a worthwhile thing to do.
On your reads through the game, did you find anything strange?
Anything odd?
Out of place?
Noteworthy?
Something to clarify?
Suspicious?
Then ask the player in question about it. And determine the appropriate level of hostility and pressure to apply in the tone of the question to get the most revealing response. That is how mafia is played on this board.
I realize how much of a fish out of water you are, but continually talking about it will accomplish nothing.
I had a stroke several months back.
Not the kind of news you expect to hear in your mid-40's, when you're active and healthy, but this was a very specific type of stroke that most typically strikes people fitting that exact description.
One of the medications I'm on, Coumadin, is a blood thinner and anti-clotting agent, and is very bio-reactive. Changing diet and other drugs can have very strange reactions, but it's necessary so the damage to my artery can heal.
This is not something you should have had to clarify. Nobody in the game is obligated to get an explanation of any real life issues you have.
Jim: I checked every line because i'm trying to figure out what makeinu's playstyle and way of thinking is. Checking his responses to mine is a good way to check for me to start. Is there a problem with that exactly?
No.
Did you have to list your entire thought process while you did it?
Wouldn't it be more effective to figure out what precisely it is you want to ask somebody and then ask them that, without fussing around with all the other stuff? (Hint: Yes)
Tiruin

Hrm, three votes in a single post.
Why, there's no way you could be intentionally drawing attention to yourself with these antics.
Say, what were your intentions with these antics?
I'm voting for him for trying too hard to fit in.
Yeah, fuck the new guy!
makeinu has shown that he is not just making excuses, so, while I still suspect him, Unvote for now. We need someone to check him eventually (and hopefully soon) to see what he is. I'd consider is reason to lynch if he came up as a townie based on the fact that, while he claims town, he carefully does not claim townie.
Well, I suspect him a lot more now with his fifth town claim. He's close enough to me voting for him again that I'll probably do it next time he is suspicious.
Idle conversation is still made for a reason, and this is definitely a townclaim (yet again). You shouldn't need to spam townclaims on day one, since it's not like anyone is going to be able to prove otherwise if you stay quiet. However, early townclaiming spam like that shows that you are trying to seem as pro-town as possible when playing scum. While some of them have legitimate reason, you just added another one that wouldn't be done if you were truly a townie.
You have no idea what you're doing, do you?
Though DarkStar not previously having a case is suspicious.
It's because I came a day late, after ~10 pages of the thread were already written and people had already started collections of evidence.
A day late is nothing. That's no excuse at all for not doing an adequate job of your own scumhunting.
I think you're probably scum, for your flimsy suspicion on makeinu and just as flimsy unvote. It looks opportunistic to me instead of legitimate
TheDarkStar, besides makeinu, who do you suspect?
