Comrade Shamrock:Why thank you, I appreciate being insulted as much as the next person.
Not an insult. Your post showed that you had not been paying very close attention to the game. You also have been lurking quite hard all game.
Why is your only contribution to this game with regard to this discussion?
Good answer. Word to the wise. Don't worry so much about keeping yourself alive. Getting mislynched -is- anti-town, if you are a townie. That said, if you're hunting scum and progressing the game state, you are not likely to get mislynched, even if you do make a mistake or two. Don't let fear of messing up interfere with your play and you'll likely avoid being mislynched.
Use your vote to pressure people. If you find a player scummier than the others, examine why you feel that way. Then, confront them and vote them to show you're serious. Course, that doesn't mean toss your vote around like it's nothing. Remember that the power your vote holds is only as strong as the determination to root out scum behind it.
You were not the IC there. You offered advice stemming from your authority as an experienced player.
That advice was not misleading. Mastahcheese's advice, should you call it that, is irrational and nonsensical.
Yes I'm sure it does. As does this.
Are you SURE you're a newbie, Scint? =.=
What? You make no sense here.
Well he seems to be saying that scum can and will use the lynch if they can.
And the mislynch is the scum's second weapon, in case you forgot.
Yes, they will. But using the mislynch is suboptimal when you have a mislynch already lined up, which is what I have been saying. Go back and reread my posts.
Also you know that theory of his about you distancing him so he'd kick the bucket if you went. It was a niggling thought in the back of my head. Since this has now developed into a full blown lynching. I'm inclined to believe it now.
Yes, because I'm totally busing him right now and his theory wasn't complete hogwash.
Come on, Comrade. You've played enough games now that you shouldn't be falling for this.
I don't mean like you setting up teacher credentials, I mean you setting up some kind of dictatorship where you shove people into line for questioning you.
Like I said to Mastahcheese, if you have an issue with my integrity as an IC, take it up with me outside of the game.
I'm starting to get really pissed off about this strategy. It's against the spirit of the game and the IC role. I'm intentionally not including my opinions in my IC-text, but the fact that you guys are forcing me to toe the line of acceptable IC play is not cool.
And you used it earlier why?
The IC-text is specifically there so that new players can read it with the knowledge that it is being given in a manner that is as objective as possible. That is, you can trust the IC when they are speaking using this text without fear that their role will be motivating their advice.
Which is something both you and Mastahcheese seem to be completely incapable of understanding and/or are taking advantage of to confuse the new players and cause the town to lose. If it's the former, I'm going to be talking post-game to both of you. If it's the latter, I will be speaking in a very severe tone due to the seriousness with which I take my role.
No reason? Then that's an excellent reason to do it.
Subjective. Back this up.
Scripten you seem to be punishing mastahcheese for things you yourself have done in past games albeit in a less flamboyant manner. This is hypocritical which I think means something has changed.
Punishing? What punishment?
I'm voting him because he's acting scummy. I'm chastising him because I feel that becoming combative about the IC's integrity to avoiding getting lynched is against the spirit of a newbie game, since it actively undermines the role of the IC.
