Why would Exkirby ask to claim? I mean, even if its just the name, thats bad. And so easy to lie about it is useless.

He asks to claim in every BYOR, though... I think he's just excited about his role, which is understandable.

Org, why aren't you voting for something you consider scummish?



Yeah, I just meant rolenames. If we think like Web, we can do this right.

Because thinking like Webadict is so easy...
Ill vote for who I think is scummy then! DOnt tell me what to do.

I'm saying you are acting scummy, Org... not telling you what you should do.  Touch jumpy there?

The purpose of a BYOR is not to try and come up with a name that will force the mod to give you a horrifically broken role

Wasn't what I was wanting. I wanted to see how Web would make it not broken, while still being relevant to the name. It's not relevant. At all. I can think of a few ways to make a relevant role without being overpowered, though they would depend on what the other roles in the game are. Even just going with "you have a nightstick that you can pummel people with, blocking them for one night and one day while they recover" would've been more appropriate.

But really. Partying, Web? If you had caught me at a better time with the PM (say, yesterday), I might have chuckled. But I got the PM when I was already in a bad mood and had a terrible headache. It sent me overboard in the "pissed off" direction. But now that the headache's gone and I've had reason to cheer up, I'm treating it more as a regular role of this type (the only parts of my role I'm not sharing right now are the name (though I've hinted heavily at what it is) and the actual ability Web gave me) than as a role I requested.

...But anyway. Onto the actual game. I FoS Org for...ugh. I can't disclose why due to Mafia etiquette. =/

I also FoS Dak for not paying attention to the person he was voting for.

Bulborbish. So you're relatively new to Mafia here, right? Have you read some old games, either for entertainment or for information?

I read them for fun primarily, or to learn a person's strategy

So far I have learned that webadict is alway's scum.

SirBayer, what is your current appraisal on scum based on these random votes?

Meh.  I had tried something like what you did over in another uPick style game and ended up with everything I wished for gutted away. 

Since then I learned to ask for simpler requests.  ExKirby turned IRS into a role much better than I expected (though I'm partial for game-breaking roles ;D).  Webadict could've went lazy with mine now but he went for the crazy so I'm content.  Not gamebreaking but oh well.

Meanwhile, still waiting for Arch.

While this could be because you're relatively new, there's not much to figure from. In this post you appear to be placing the blame for this upon yourself. Why defend something that isn't your fault? Why do you place the blame upon yourself? I can only conclude that you must be scum to have something to be blamed for. Isn't that right?

And unvote bulb (that's okay, right? I like to shorten people's names). Thank you for providing us with what I think may be something good for later on. That said, I also forgot to actually FoS SirBayer.

I change my vote to MagmaDeath. How do you feel about your role? Note that I am not fishing for a role name or ability, just how content you are with your role. Was it appropriate given the name?

...you're not serious, are you?

Because that's kinda, uh, incomprehensibly unrelated. What blame is there? I asked for more time to answer his question before he lynches me. I'm failing to see the connection.

Unvote.

SirBayer, you're scum.  That's entirely too much overdefensiveness and jumping in RVS to be anything else.

...you're not serious, are you?

Not completely, no. Doing some pseudo-psychological analysis. Don't ignore it, though.

Wait...Why would you want more time "before he lynches [you]"? Bulb doesn't have the power to lynch you all by his lonesome to my knowledge. Do you know more than I? Or do you have reason to be concerned for your life? You have no need of such strong self-preservation as town during the random vote stage. However, scum always has self-preservation in mind; they wouldn't want to let their teammates down by going off and dying, now would they?

I once again FoS SirBayer. Why do you need self-preservation in the RVS?

[PPE:] Yeah. Vector beat me to it, and in much fewer words. I'm giving you one more strike until I vote you, SB.

So this brings up a problem I've had in IRC Mafia.

Why the fuck is asking a question a scumtell? A single question and suddenly, boom, scum. Can someone please explain this to me before I get even more frustrated?

Asking questions is not a scumtell (unless your name is Mephansteras :P). The original thing from me was mostly just pressure to see if you'd crack.

You cracked. That is a scumtell.

I asked for more time to answer his question before he lynches me.

I don't care about whatever question you asked.  What I care about is this: you have one vote on you, and you equate it to a lynch.  You don't have any thoughts whatsoever, and you answer in an extremely jumpy fashion.

Asking questions has nothing to do with it.  What matters is your obsession with death.... in the RVS.

You jumped.  Now I'm voting you and yes, I intend to lynch you.  Die, scumbucket.
