Magwebster; random.org thinks that you are mafia. Are you?
You start the game by using random.org for your vote. This isn't a particularly big deal in general, but it's the first passive post in a string of passive posts. The fact that you're "defending" your RVS vote by saying "it was the RNG, not me" looks bad.
shibdib, might I ask you why you edited your post? (And what was orginally on it?)
You find a scumtell, but you keep with your RVS vote. More passiveness.
Also:
USEC_OFFICER, what color is my shirt?
You ignore my question.
Bandages, [joke]Trying to off Vector, are you?[/joke]
Your next vote is a joke, despite the fact that scumtells had already been dropped.
What? It's not like we'll be lynching somebody... Damn it.
You slip and act scummy.
USEC_OFFICER: Are you saying you want to no lynch?
You're called on it.
No. It's called a joke. I'm sorry if people are taking it the wrong way.
Then, you say you were just joking. Again. Funny guy, arentcha?
Unvote
shibdib, seeing as I am going to get first lynched, again, and you have finally posted something, I would like to ask you a few questions:
- Besides me, who do you think is the most scummy? Leasy scummy?
- Who do you think would be the first to be killed by the mafia?
Also, I would like an extend also.
More defeatism + emotional appeals. You pretend that you're scumhunting, but you don't even vote.
How can I contribute when I'm going to get lynched and everybody thinks I'm scum? As far as I can see, everyone is voting for me because I added a bit of humour and someone misunderstood it. I already apologized for it. If I was actually scum, I could have just lurked and played it cautiously like Thendash did in the last beginner's game (Not just Thendash, but I forget the other guy's name.), and Vector would have been lynched. Instead, I come out with a stupid statement that everybody now hates me for.
Passiveness. WIFOM. Defeatism. Passing off scumtells as jokes. Emotional appeals out the ears.
USEC, This is WIFOM, ("If I was scum, why'd I do this or that"). Don't do it.
Noted.
Finally, you stop passing everything off as jokes, but you basically stop contributing after this point. What was that about just lurking and staying in the background like Thendash and that other guy did? Hmmmmm, think I've seen that somewhere before...
shibdib, how can you be on something if you barely posted at all? Scatterbrain has had half as many posts as you, but had more content into them.
(RANT)
Scatterbrain was probably not killed because he was onto something. His (her?) only vote was for Vector. Vector had better people voting against her. Rube for instance. I am surprised that you would even say that you and him were onto something. Did you PM him? Did you talk together in this thread? Do you even have any prove that you worked with him? No.
It seems to me that you are using scatterbrains death in a clearly scummy way. You give no more proof that Scatterbrain was onto something other than that he was killed. If he was killed because he was onto something, why wasn't Rube or Bandages killed? They seemed to have more evidence against Vector than Scatterbrain.
(RANT OVER)
This is your only post for D2. You say that "shibdib can't be onto anything if he barely posted." This is clearly fallacious argumentation. Now you're running into WIFOM territory.
Once you've caused a blowup, you disappear for the rest of the day. Shibdib is lynched and flips town.
USEC: Why did you not vote day 1? Also, your only day 2 post started out by pointing out that shibdib wasn't posting enough. Do you not see an inconsistency there? Did the bad reaction to your D1 joke scare you away from participating?
I did not vote on day one as I was almost going to be lynched. So I figured that by not posting I would: A, not be noticed (And lynched.) and B, I didn't have an idea who the scum is. Day 1 is not my strongest point. [joke](Neither is day 2, or day 3 or ...)[/joke]
As for day two, being able to post mostly once a day, I could respond at a maximum of three post. Now, being set on the idea that shibdib was scum, and being the kind of person who prefers to respond to questions, instead of making them, I had little reason to post more. (Other people responding to shibdib's post help a bit too.) The only posts I would have made in day 2 would be to tell everyone, again, that I thought shibdib was scum. What would be the point of that?
Paragraph 1 tells me that you consider being lynched or not the be-all and end-all of this game. Self-preservation to this extent is scummy. You defend yourself with... more jokes. Seriously, man, this isn't clown school. It's Mafia. The goal is not to defray every attack on you with light-hearted joking.
Paragraph 2 basically reads: "Well, I'm passive and wait for others to come to me, so I tossed a vote on shibdib, didn't question him, and moved on. You also ask the audience a question ("What would be the point of that?")--in essence, you're asking us to fill in our own reasoning for your scummy actions.
Well, here's the point. If you asked him questions and had actually scum-hunted at
any point of this game, maybe we'd have figured out he was town D2. As-is, it looks like you spent D1 firing for a no-lynch and D2 picking someone off for invalid reasons.
USEC: So your plan was self-preservation? That's very passive and fairly scummy. Yes, town lynches are bad, but town standing around and letting scum control the game is far worse. Are your going to help your team today?
Standing around as in voting for the person who I think is most scummy?
Also, I would like to ask Vector why she thinks that she wasn't killed in the past two nights? And no, I am not doing this because you are voting for Vector. I'm wonder why she thinks an obvoiusly good player wasn't killed. Also, the two killings seems odd to me, and I am inclined to think that one or both of the mafia are good players (Or at least not beginner.) Vector seems a good target to start at.
Voting for one person and then doing nothing else is called sidelining. It is about as scummy as every other thing you've been doing so far this game.
I find it interesting that your first post of the day is spent defending yourself. Then Toaster votes for me, and you hop on the bandwagon. You preemptively defend yourself, buddy with the person you're attacking, and go on with reasoning, reasoning, reasoning for your attack and why it should be okay.
Passive. Defensive.
I'll need a while to think this through. The way I see it, either Rube is the godfather, or Toaster is scum, or they are both scum acting in a convincing ruse, the way Toaster has been attacking Rube.
Interesting that you think Rube is the godfather when your vote is on me. Sure, you unvote later, but it's interesting that your kneejerk reaction is to accuse the person you
aren't voting. It's almost as though you already know that person is town.
I rest my case. Go hang.
