Oh, hey.
Mafia.
*facepalms*
1)RVS is not inherently stuipid. However, due to its constant and ritualised use, it becomes almost useless as an actual scum-finding tool. There are other means of starting discussion. This I truly believe. You may disagree. Let us not make this meta-discussion about how to play mafia (a major) part of our scumhunting. (I am opposed to the RVS regardless of my role)
2)Powder Miner had the time to answer a question. He should have had the time to ask one, it only takes a minute. He did not indicate any of the following: that he did not have time to ask a question of his own; that he did not know what sort of questions to ask; that he did not want to ask a question.
Asking random questions is the norm. Not doing so is a deviation from the norm, and requires an explanation of some sort. With no explanation provided, I can only conclude that he was intentionally being less active/readable.
Oh wow, I'm totally lurking for partaking in such horrible activities as sleep and school.
Way to overreact, guy.
Forgot rest of post.
I'm not too knowledgable of cults, I've onlyread about them and played them for a day in a Third Prty MAfia (which was won N1 by Assassin and Survivor).
Max, if the game had a third party, what would you want it to be?
Way to do exactly what I berated you for not doing. Was that so hard? Why couldn't you have done this earlier?
...you know, I tried to ask you a discussion worthy question since I knew you hated RVS.
Ahahaha. Wait, you're serious? May I remind you that the question was about meta.
Town meta. That shit ain't 'discussion worthy'.
stuff in favour of RVS
Each to his/her own. As I said, I don't consider this worth arguing about.
By the way...
...We will probably not find the cult leader...
Nice defeatist attitude there; play to win, NUKE, and there's no telling how fast we'll have this wrapped up. Or sit and pout in the corner with your little "RVS Sucks" banner; the big kids are gonna be busy in the meanwhile. Unvote.
Please don't insult me for silly reasons. I
always play to win. I
hate people who don't, or even joke about not doing so. Saying 'we will probably not find the cult leader' is not being a defeatist. It is a statement of fact. D1, there are 8 possible cult leaders. How often have you seen an accurate D1 lynch? Lets be generous, and say that we read each other well enough to reduce the pool of suspects to 4. 1/4 chances only crop up 1 in four times. 'Probably' is more than 1 in 2. Therefore, unless everyone here is a supernaturally good scumhunter, we will probably not find the cult leader. It could happen that we lynch the leader today. Would make the game a bit boring, but a win is a win. But it is more likely that we don't, so it is vitally important that there is a read available for everyone.
Powder Miner, you refuse to play along with the RVS shenanigans. This is because your are the cult leader, attempting to avoid attention.
During a reread, this stood out to me. NUKE9.13, this seems strangely hasty: you're convinced that Powder Miner is the cult leader because of one post near the start of RVS where he didn't ask any questions. You can argue that it could be scummy, but I find it to be extremely unconvincing evidence of being the cult leader. You don't bother asking him a question, either, instead just leaving a weak accusation that can be shrugged off with a short counterargument.
Hang on, what's the opposite of that?
A question can be shrugged of with a quick answer. A flat accusation requires the suspect to supply their own response from whole cloth; I have done none of their work for them. This makes them reveal more of themselves than an answer to a question.
Also, a couple questions: If you suspected one person rather strongly of being the cult leader, but there was a lurker lurking, who would you vote for? How about if you suspected the former of just being an ordinary cultist?
If I
strongly suspected (D1) someone of being the cult leader, I would want them lynched. If I wasn't sure, I would probably waver towards the lurker. Seriously. We can't be having with lurkers today. If I suspected the former of being a cultist, it is D2 or later, and lurkers are less important. Still annoying, but not quite so deadly to the town as they are on D1. So I would probs go for the cultist. Although I would rather still go for a potential cult leader, depending on the numbers.
NUKE: Something about you doesn't sit right with me. It may have been your "playful" claim of being the cult leader, or the unnecessary nonsense questioning of yourself, I'm not sure. But I have a sneaking suspicion that you may be trying to play the "I'm-totally-the-leader,-so-I'll-just-"playfully"-admit-it-in-the-thread-as-a-joke-to-draw-immediate-suspicion-away-from-me" card.
Sorry.
I'ma call this a bandwagon.
Anyway, if it isn't, a response: Seriously, guy, how fucking incompetent do you think I am? If I wanted to keep suspicion away from myself, I wouldn't be making a big fuss about not participating in the RVS, now would I? I may be counting on said suspicion being neglected on account of previous history of mislynches, but I certainly ain't attempting to avoid it completely, and suggesting that I am is ridiculous.
Max, Native, less of the arguing over semantics, eh? Also the insults, very clever, very clever, not useful.
Sorry about being lurky today- My carpet was wet so I coudln;t be in my room for most of the dya, and I'm struggling up a hill of homework.
Ok.
Do you realise why we all need to be extra active today especially?
