He voted to lynch me, so in turn I voted him. If he hadn't I would have gone undecided.

[Vector]

...

Have you played Mafia before?

[zchris13]

I haven't. This looks fun.

[Luke_Prowler]

Once. Why, what am I doing wrong?

[zchris13]

You look silly. Also, I bet you're only meta-ing once. You need to do it at least 5 or six times.

[Rashilul]

This is a stage where we randomly vote whoever we please. The votes don't really mean anything.

[Jackrabbit]

At the same time, it's called OMGUS and it's a bad idea.

[Vector]

Once. Why, what am I doing wrong?

It's not that you're really doing anything wrong, persay.  It's like when you see a little kid who can't figure out the social norms of a given situation.  You teach the kid what's going on, but don't malign them.

Okay, I sound like an asshole, and I'm sorry.  What I mean is that here, we typically have a random vote stage.  (Most of us) aren't trying to lynch each other, yet.  We're just trying to find out what's happening, and we try not make sure that everyone gets voted.  We're testing reactions.

You're treating it like it's a bit more serious than it really is, so I wanted to check and make sure you knew what was going on.



zchris13: what does "meta-ing once" mean?

[zchris13]

It's all like, taking it out a level of abstraction. It's what makes the stock market so random.

Also, I vote Pandarsenic

[Vector]

Ah, that's what you mean.  Just... beware of the WIFOM.  That's all I have to say about that.

[zchris13]

It's exactly what we all are trying to do to hunt out mafia.

And what does WIFOM stand for. I know OMGUS.

[Luke_Prowler]

heh, oops. sorry about that. I guess I was taking it a bit too serious...

Edit: I guess I change my vote too...Luke_Prowler. I don't trust that guy.

[Cheeetar]

Wine in Front of Me. It comes from the Princess Bride, the scene where the guy poisoned one of the glasses and the other guy dosen't know which.

[tehstefan]

Toonyman Why do you always accuse Panda of being scum?

WIFOM Is Wine In Front Of Me. Basically, its using logic like "I think he's town, but what if thats what he wants me to think?" Or "Zchris is being active, thats a town trait, but what if thats just what he wants me to think?"

It makes your logic go in circles, so if you ever find yourself doing that, you should probably rethink your point.

[Cheeetar]

It means that the other player is playing in a way that what they are saying can't be proven and they provide contradicting theories.
