Azure Sepulchre:
Azure Sepulchre, might I ask why in god's name you aren't voting for me? Seriously. Didn't you read the scumhunting guide? There is no reason that you shouldn't be voting for anybody. With all the reasons that you gave for me being scum, you should be voting for me. Instead, you're sitting on your ass, saying "Oh, I can't vote for anybody, they all have real lives!" Well, guess what? We all have real lives, so that is not an excuse. Vote for somebody else who spends more time playing.
The title of this game is Beginner's Mafia, right? Which would imply it's a game for beginners, correct? Then would it be so remiss of me to presume you were simply very, very new? Fine, then. I shan't make that mistake again.
Also, WTF? How did I give the impression I'm not voting because everyone has their own lives to live?
Oh, lookie what I found.
If, on the other hand, this is your roundabout way of asking why I had targeted Ein in the first place... it was both because I wanted to know what he really thought of the game, and because I had considered his position much too mysterious and enigmatic for my taste when compared to everyone elses. For the latter I still do, actually (although the vote on him has become a tad redundant at this stage: unvote), but if he's busy IRL... well. There's hardly much I can do about that, now, is there? However, if a potential scum-buddy of his is willing to leap to the rescue, however... well, that's your affair.
Notice the part at the end. The part that says "but if he's busy IRL... well. There's hardly much I can do about that, now, is there?" You know what this implies? It implies that if ein posted more, you would be able to play more. But you know what really bizzare about this? It's that you didn't vote for me, the number one on your scum list. But wait, you've given a reason why you are not voting in your next post:
That's just, in a word, retarded. I'm not voting because I don't have any outright scum-tells, and I want to not only figure out where everyone stands so far, but I also want to see if anyone can bring up a scum-tell I haven't noticed.
Where have I heard that before?
I've learned to watch for scummy tactics, like somebody who may be trying to force others against each other.
Right now I'm waiting, and watching for a tell.
How is this similar to your excuse? Well,
A. You are both not doing anything
B. You are both waiting for somebody else to do something.
That's right. Some would call what ein is doing lurking, and I'm calling what you are lurking. You are waiting for somebody else to do your scumhunting. That's both passive and scummy.
Also, if you wanted to get ein to talk, asking questions would be a good idea.
Uhh, I did. And he answered. Have you even read this thread?
More importantly, have you? Because last time I checked, ein hasn't posted here in a day. If you really wanted to get ein to talk, you would have asked ein follow up questions, instead of saying that your vote is redundant.
And budding involves "Oh, don't vote for X, he's EXCUSE." What I'm doing is "Oh, your question is stupid because REASON_WHY_QUESTION_IS_STUPID." There's a difference.
You not only claimed there was 'less than a 0.06% chance of me and Spade being scum' (pretty funny, that, considering you're calling me scum now. That's some scum-sense you've got, there) which sure as hell sounds to me like budding, but you also involved yourself in a question that was specifically directed at me and tried to answer it in my favour instead of scrutinizing what I said in return. That's buddying, right there.
Azure, Azure, Azure, you were never part of that 0.06%. (Broody and Sir Bayer was a part of that.) Of course now, that percentage is redundant, since everypost has posted something. That means that you are back up to having a 25 percent chance of being scummy.
Azure, where does it say that I can't get myself involved in a question that is directed at you? I didn't try to buddy with you at all. I was merely saying that the question was incredibly stupid, because it assumed information that you didn't know at the time. How is that buddying?
I also find it surprising that you are attacking people who say that ein has a real life, and then go around and stopping voting for him because he has a real life.
...you really haven't read this thread.
Azure, you attacked kilakan because of this quote:
Azure-Last few games I've read and played, people who begin accusing lukers the second they are off for a few hours, have all been scum. Would you disagree that trying to point blame towards the people who seem to have lives, or nothing to say at the moment, to not be an attempt to move away from yourself or other people who are acting scummy without people pointing it out, which could lead to covering yourself and your team?
to which you replied with:
I also have a pinky finger of suspicion on both kilakan and SirBayer; kilakan because he leapt to the defense of Ein during an RVS of all things,
The only way that I could see kilakan jumping to the defence of ein was through saying that ein had a life. Oh, and guess what you said afterwards:
Still vaguely suspicious of Ein, but there's nothing really for me to go on other than the fact that he's lurking, and he's already explained why he is. Gut feeling on this one, more than anything else...
You say you have a gut feeling on ein, but you don't follow it up. Why? The best reason I could find was that you accepted his reasons of having a real life. And guess what kilakan said?
I attacked kilakan because he did what you did; defended someone else who could defend himself just as well. I stopped voting for Ein, on the other hand, because he answered my question and to maintain the vote on him any longer would be pointless.
So it would be pointless to maintain your vote on a person who gives you a gut feeling? I believe the standard opperating procedure for that case would be to SCUMHUNT. And what do you do? Nothing! You don't even keep your vote on the guy!
You know what? I bet that you are scum, with ein as your scum partner. If not, you clearly haven't learned anything from your last mafia games.
Then why aren't you voting for me?
Umm...
Because I'm bored, and have no idea know idea how much mafia Spade has played.
As such, I'm going to Unvote, and ask Azure Sepulchre the same question.
Have you even read this thread?
(Looks like I've been voting for you all along. Surprise!)
try to buddy with me and then preform a complete 180 degrees turn when I call you on it, despite the fact that I gave you the benefit of the doubt and decided to wait until everyone had made their opinions clear before I made another move.
I NEVER TRIED TO BUDDY WITH YOU!
Grats, USEC. You just got your vote.
Finally! The great Azure Sepulchre puts his money where his mouth is and votes for me! WHY THE HELL DID YOU NOT DO THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE! YOU DON'T GIVE PEOPLE THE BENIFIT OF THE DOUBT IN MAFIA, YOU SCUMHUNT THEM TILL THEY EARN THE DOUBT! And Azure Sepulchre, you haven't earned it.
Spade:
If there was a fool in this game I'd tell everyone to unvote USEC. Why would you tell someone to vote for you? Do you want to be voted off? Or are you trying to trick us into thinking you're town?
You're calling yourself an idiot. You realise something you say will sound suspicious, yet you post it anyway. Why would you do this?
I believe I made it quite clear:
USEC, now that Azure has said his piece, and you've effectly ruined your ability to be taken seriously, what's your next move?
Go into "Curse-you-all" mode, and try to get as much conversation as possible, so that the scum might make a scummy move, and get lynched in day 3.
Frankly, survival is not number 1 on my list anymore. Everybody else here looks like a better player than me, and it would hurt the town if someone else got lynched (except maybe ein or Jetsquirrel.)
If you want, I'll gladly show you some of my games which will make you happy to see me go.
