But you're right. I'll Unvote for now and await the facts. Its a bit premature to vote for anyone.

So, maybe I'm a bit confused here, but is the first day largely spent waiting for night information in Paranormal?  It seems to me that this is the random voting phase, so it is not premature to vote for anyone.

Someone more experienced, please enlighten me.

I suppose it depends on each person's individual preference. I prefer to watch for suspicious behavior rather than vote randomly, but others (as you've seen) enjoy laying votes about with no rhyme or reason.

The reason is probability!
Exactly. The probability is that ToonyMan is scum.

Back at you.

Unvote, just to extend the quote tower.

Argh.  I'm tired.  Off to bed.  I hope this pyramid doesn't grow anymore.

Yeah, I'm done with the pyramid.

Even though he said he's gone, ToonyMan is still listed as online.

I gotta go, too

I'll accept that for now, Forsaken1111.  Unvote.  I'm keeping my eye on you, though.

Rysith, what do you think of ToonyMan's mathematics?

Rysith, what do you think of ToonyMan's mathematics?

Math is a dangerous route to take in mafia. There have been all sorts of experiments with random lynching, perfect mafia play, etc. and they've come up with all kinds of probabilities and such, leading to the infamous And They All Lived Happily Ever After scenario. Treating it as a purely mathematical exercise is a really bad idea, from a town perspective, since it takes the Town's advantage (superior numbers) and throws it away on the idea that all of the scum are so accomplished at appearing townie that they will be indistinguishable. We've repeatedly proven that false, especially since even on D1 townie lynches the reasons behind a vote are often important later.

On the other hand, that was an impressive display of crazy by Toonyman and an impressive bandwagony-thing that developed off of it.

Agree'd that RedWarrior is pushing ToonyMan early on for seemingly no reason. I'd like to hear why.

Hmm...I've never been a big fan of CCGs - I mean, I did and still do collect Pokemon cards, but I never got heavily into the battling and trading thing.

By definition that makes you a fan since you still buy them.

In any case, I'll vote Frelock. What do you have to say for yourself, young man?

As for myself, I have only this to say.  He who walks alone, walks with himself, and is therefore not alone.

Oh, and I'm curious as to where webadict is.
You can't pawn this one off on me, Frelock. I know you took the cookie from the cookie jar!

Oh, and Bloodbeard, if you were at 3p with 2 other people, who would they be?

1. Unvote thanks to Rysith's adequate anti-mathematical explanation.

2. What on earth does the above quote mean?  It's incomprehensible to me.

3. Webadict, you're acting funky.  Something good happen in your life recently, or have you taken a turn for the Toony?

If you were at 3 people.

Also, vector, I think I know what I'm doing... It's like when you give a monkey a gun.

That's what I was thinking but I wasn't sure.

I don't think it would matter who you're with at 3 people, alot of shit would have gone down by that point and the course of the game would make it a very unique situation. I couldn't tell ya.

Webadict, I honestly have no clue what most of what you're saying is. It'd be good if you explained yourself.

What, you mean everything goes pear-shaped and horrid?  That's fabulous, but your skills at Mafia don't give you an automatic right to contempt.

I didn't say I was underestimating you.  What I said was that you're acting weird and continuing to act weird.  I do not trust this weirdness.
