I don't appreciate the fact that you quote me using improper grammar, implying stupidity, when I clearly do not type that way.
I type like an 7 year old kid who doesn't know how to behave on the internet for everybody's "quotes," whether positive or negative. You'll want to get used to that, because I'm not changing how I play for anyone but me, though I will attempt to lessen my cursing like I do in games with "younger" players since you are apparently against that.
While I agree with you that trivial questions can be quite trivial, that's not the only way to play the Random Voting Stage. I and a number of others attempt to break people. It gets good game-relevant discussion going early on, which you can pick apart to look for inconsistencies and such things. Every now and then the person actually does break. New people are especially good for this practice.
Also, not really relevant now until we get some, but I'm guessing your "logical sense" dies at the sight of WIFOM. Just a prediction right now.
I can tell thou art scum, Foulsark! Why dost thou protest so loud to the rope around thy neck? Only witches have reason to fear death (for all magic dies along with them). Thou must be a witch!
I don't care if other people swear - it's just not something I personally do. I'm 21, by the way. It's just a personal choice. And that is fine, thank you for explaining.
Thank you for explaining that bit about asking people questions. See, this is actually my first round here at the beginning of the round. I have only played one other round here and I was not around for the beginning. Thus, this whole process is foreign to me. The sites I go to everybody just sort of contacts one another on IM and talks to each other that way (plus the rounds I play in are around 30+ people so there is an abundance of conversation and me sitting back for awhile is never an issue).
It depends on the WIFOM and how good people are at executing it, I suppose. Generally I can have some sort of a feel for when something is WIFOM - sometimes things are just a bit too fishy. If executed by two skilled mafia, though, then sometimes it can look very much like one townie trying to get a mafioso lynched. I do believe that, if played right, most people would be fooled by very well-played WIFOM, it wouldn't just be me.
Actually I haven't been protesting any kind of lynch, I've just been talking about my thoughts on the whole random question-asking bit this entire time.
I suppose I'll go ahead and ask the only question that seems of any relevance to me, and why not go ahead and just have everybody answer it at once? So to everybody: "What three players would you most prefer as scumbuddies and why?" Obviously Apostolic Nihilist needn't answer since he already has.
