I do try to entertain.  Now play the game, smartass.

You don't sound like you're having fun. Would you like to calm yourself first?

I am having fun, and this -is- me being calm. 

Would you like to try your hand at scumhunting now?  I'd just like to remind you that this is MYLO, and activity is paramount.

It's ok (appreciated, even), but wait until both ICs have a chance to post in response before doing this again.

Learning experience time!

Some players are naturally "grumpy" people. Others like to be antagonistic, and some have odd ways of having fun. This does not always mean that they are being purposefully grumpy, purposefully antagonistic, or purposefully bullies.

This is a prime example. Shakerag and I have played a few games together, and while he typically comes off as "abrasive and rude" to me, it's his standard attitude. It's a core part of his being, and just because I perceive it as rude doesn't mean it's intended as rude and it doesn't mean that other people see it as rude either. Here we can see him reminding another player that Mafia is a serious game where "smartass"erry is usually not appreciated; while I might see his form as blunt and derogatory, it's meant to be to-the-point.

TL;DR: It's easy to misinterpret other players' intended tone. Do your best to make your tone clear.

HHHNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG

H4zardZ1, why didn't you include yourself in your scum list? Why did you offer to swap out, then come back and do nothing?

1. I forgot to place myself equal to Shakerag and Tawa.
2. Offering to swap out because i don't have access to my tablet, doing nothing is because i'm still as confused as heck, and i forgot to play this thing.

1 - Who gives a shit how scummy you think you are?
2 - ASK.  OTHER.  PLAYERS.  QUESTIONS.  TO.  FIGURE.  OUT.  WHO.  IS.  SCUM.

WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND

THE GAME.  IT DOES NOT PLAY ITSELF>

Tawochir, I think you are the least scummy, after graknorke you have been the most dedicated scum hunter. You have never jumped on a vote for no reason. All of your arguments have been your own and they have been well thought out.

Keep in mind that the day ends if no votes have changed in 24 hours! I haven't applied this rule before in this day because there were no votes. A simple vote and unvote is enough to keep the game going until people decide to end the day.

[notquitethere]

It's good practice in any mafia game to try and vote every day, regardless of their alignment.

[If you're not going to play the game, then at least replace out so someone else can take your spot.  I can't teach you and everyone else anything if you're not willing to play.

So if you want to take your ball and go home, fine.  I'll help you ruin the game for everyone else by not voting.  I can't fully do my role as an IC if everyone isn't on board.

If you're upset that big, mean Shakerag was yelling at you and you're waiting for an apology, no.  Consider it a life lesson that not everyone you meet is lining up to give you tummy rubs.
Furthermore, mafia is (or at least can be) an intense game.  The whole point is to argue with each other to figure out who is lying.  It's not a laid back environment.  However, most everyone realizes that it -is- just a game, and doesn't take anything personally.]


Everyone who isn't H4zardZ1:
[Don't vote for yourself.  There are almost no situations in which this is even remotely close to ideal play.  If there is a situation in which it would be ideal play, you'll know it when you're in it.]

[Oh hey, the dead IC decides to show up.  I thought you were going to leave me high and dry here man.]

Would you like to try your hand at scumhunting now?  I'd just like to remind you that this is MYLO, and activity is paramount.

Hey, what is MYLO? Also it seems your sardonic wit has thrown a spanner in the tracks - when you got scrubs who don't know what they're doing mixed with scum who are content with letting you do all the talking all activity is going to grind to a halt. Hahaha, big mean Shakerag - you're making nubs and scum bugger off, nubs haven't got any investment in a game they've just picked up, and if they can't handle the banter they're just going to go outside and scum are just going to let you talk yourself to yourself.
And just to clarify, you picked off from where 4maskwolf left off right?
Urist McCoder, who are the two you believe are most likely to be Scum?

[Teneb]

Hey, what is MYLO?

I really shouldn't be the one to answer this but it's been asked twice already, so... Mislynch and Lose. LYLO is Lynch or Lose. The OP has a section explaining most terms.

[Shakerag]

No lynch, because it's the best course of action at MYLO.


Everyone:  You have two game days worth of posts to use as material.  There are two scum remaining.  Use what has been said to find them.  I'm your IC, but I'm not going to play with myself.  Scum wins the vast majority of the time when activity dies off toward the end of a game.  If you're town and don't want to lose, get your ass in here and figure out who is scum.

Yes, well, we like to separate the boys from the men in the beginner's games in this subforum. 

And just to clarify, you picked off from where 4maskwolf left off right?

Yup.  I am the role that 4maskwolf was.

Urist McCoder, who are the two you believe are most likely to be Scum?

And why are you voting Urist McCoder exactly?  The RVS stage was two days ago. 

[If it isn't early D1, you really, really, really need to include reasons as to why you are voting someone.  Your vote is an indicator of who you think is scum and needs to be lynched.  So if you don't explain -why- you are voting someone, you're doing nothing to convince the other players that your target is scum.  And, furthermore, voting without giving reasons sends the message to other players that you're lazy and potentially don't care who gets lynched, which comes across as scummy.]



[Teneb:  I get the feeling H4zardZ1 has decided to throw a tantrum, so please prod/warn/force replace at the appropriate intervals of time if he doesn't come back.
Also, Tawarochir is due for a proddin'.]

[Tawa]

I'm here.

Tawochir, I think you are the least scummy, after graknorke you have been the most dedicated scum hunter. You have never jumped on a vote for no reason. All of your arguments have been your own and they have been well thought out.

Why me? Why not Loud "Text Wall J'accuse" Whispers?

Day ends if 24 hours pass without a vote change, or when the players vote to end the day.

I'll prod H4zardZ1 when I next wake up.

[Teneb]

Prodded both H4zardZ1 and Urist McCoder.
