Since I'm on the replacement list I suppose I should, you know, at least skim this monster occasionally.

[SniHjen]

Watching.

[webadict]

Speculation, Webby? This is WIFOM. Watch your step. You and I make bad fireworks.

SirBayer. Speculation is nowhere near WIFOM. The fact you're trying to attach WIFOM to me is a sign that youre setting up an early subconscious scum tag to me, either in hopes of having someone to attack in the future, or because you have no idea what the acronym WIFOM means.

How on Earth you got WIFOM from me claiming my STATISTICAL OPINION of what is in the game is beyond me. All of the possible teams (Or ones I know of) are up there, so I'm not LIMITING information or forcing an either-or situation. I didn't definitively conclude the presence of any teams except Survivor and Mafia (since there's ALWAYS a Survivor and Mafia in every of these big games [And this is based off of ACTUAL information.]) I'm not claiming anyone to be of any of these parties, so I'm not trying to nullify someone's words based on that...

So, what IS it that makes it WIFOM? Am I claiming to be a Survivor or Mafia, because of that statement? That's like saying, "I'm 90% sure there's Town in this game." That's not really WIFOM. It's just stupid. Saying that there are zero town in this game is WIFOM. Saying that so-and-so is a Jester is WIFOM.

To even label it WIFOM is an attempt to silence such speculation. Seeing as how the set-up and roles are completely unknown, NOT speculating leads to irrational and stupid decision. Having open options means that there will be all possible situations to consider, instead of being blind-sided.

I'd kill you right now if I could. Heck, even a suicidebomb would be nice.

On that note, Vector: How many different factions do you think we'll be dealing with?

Right.  You asked for "numbers of different factions," but number is irretrievably linked with composition... so here we go.

First, there's obviously the gamblers.  Then, I'm guessing there's some sort of organized scumteam of 3 or 4 individuals, or perhaps two smaller, opposing scumteams.  Pandar really likes third-parties, though, so I'm guessing that on top of whatever scumteams we've got we'll have a survivor and a jester--maybe even two of one of those, drawing from BYOR Panda.  Then I'm guessing we'll have at least one lyncher, doomspeaker, or SK.  Finally, there's the town itself.

So, in summation: I'm guessing between 6 and 8 factions, all told.


Spartan117, I hope you're going to finish this game rather than requiring yet another force-replace.  Let's say you have three apples.  Who do you give them to?

Tsk, tsk, Vector. Disappointing answer, really. I just expected so much better from you, even after answering the question for you.

I mean, come on. Is that your best? ... Is it? Because it's lacking something. Like, you know, substance. It was just an answer to you! It wasn't read. It wasn't analyzed. It was just you sputtering robotic automatic replies like an answering machine to a family on vacation.

Puh.

... I frankly have no idea what you're talking about.  All answers are answers.  Some answers only require a basic cross-checking with a known body of information.

Is an exemplary answer one where I make up statistics to "prove" my point?  Or should I not stick to what I know?

[IronyOwl]

Mr.Person, what do you think the lurking is going to be like in this game? Any solutions?

Eduren, is webadict being aggressive town or defensive scum?

[Eduren]

Eduren, is webadict being aggressive town or defensive scum?

Why must it be one or the other? Are aggressive scum and defensive town impossible?

To actually answer your question though, I believe that he is being aggressive towards Bayer, but as to whether he is town or scum has yet to be seen and could possibly be gleaned by how he continues his aggression.

No, an exemplary answer is saying screw the question and firing back. You didn't test to see the point of the question, questioner, or even why you should answer. You just answered it, bringing minimal effort and scumhunting into the entire game.

Heck, I've got a new thing we should try. It's called nothing. Let's all do nothing. Oh, want to ask a question? It has to have explicitly no purpose or relevance to the game in question. Been asked a stupid question already? Why, it's your turn down at Unintelligence to chain letter your own brand of ignorance.

That's what I mean. I mean, there's lots of things you can do, but firing these stupid questions never works. Like, ever. If you manage to lynch scum, it's not because you asked them how many dimples are on a golf ball. It's out of dumb luck. No, like DUMB luck. Because the scum would have to be a complete moron to be lynched.

Now, maybe you understand what I'm talking about and would love to participate in this new age style called rational reasoning, so that we can have a true psychological and philosophical game.

So, start nit-picking lines, because there's plenty for seconds and thirds.

Mr.Person, what do you think the lurking is going to be like in this game? Any solutions?

Eduren, is webadict being aggressive town or defensive scum?

Eduren beat me to it. Why is it one or the other? That's a fallacy. You're forcing a dilemma on someone by giving them two options, as opposed to a range of valid options. Also, you're refusing to ask me the question, making an indirect attack at me, and you'd be using someone else to determine whether a bandwagon would suffice. Those are all scummy. See, this is a direct attack, scumwad.

[Nolor]

dwarfguy2. Is this your first mafia game?

What do you think of the posts so far? Who's suspicious, who do you want gone and lynched?

[ToonyMan]

Gamblers I hope you didn't go the easy way out and placed all your bets on me being lynched Day 1, because that's only like a 2-in-1 chance man.

Pandar would always be my scum buddy, always.

But he isn't playing so I vote Wuba for skipping math classes.

They don't bet on people, they bet on "Town" or "Mafia" or "3rd Party"

[ToonyMan]

Don't bet town gamblers.

I never skipped math classes!

Wait... so they bet on people that are going to be lynched?

[Pandarsenic]

Yes. So depending on their bid, they might be more or less pro-town on a particular day.
