    It's not? People don't get killed for that.


    Von is called Grib on mafiascum. Pinky called Von Grib, so he's played on mafiascum.

    ...did you not read my thing carefully enough? It feels like I said "Hey! How are you?" and you replied with "Thanks, so do you!"

    That is a LIE, madam. Von is Von and nothing BUT Von.

    You keep saying only a stupid scum there and that's wrong. And people wouldn't get pushed as scum for voting in that situation. So, what's your point?

    Rubicon: It's a shiny wagon?? Why didn't you say so in the first place?

    @ Snowvon #175, Thought the "?" made it obv sarcasm.

    The question isn't solve the game this second, it's asking you for reads and opinions. As you've given virtually nothing so far, it's fair to think you're being scummy. We're over 200 posts in, it may be early, but there's certainly a decent amount of posts to work with.

    I was wondering if anyone was going to pick up on that.

    ---------- Post automerged at 18:04 ---------- Previous post was at 18:02 ----------

    "I didn't ask if they are scum" ... "Give reads"

    What?

    Being out of RVS doesn't mean much. There's still nothing to work with on d1 but blind finger pointing and rhetoric. It's one big tiresome popularity contest.

    The game doesn't even begin until d2/3 as far as I'm concerned.

    ---------- Post automerged at 18:08 ---------- Previous post was at 18:04 ----------

    What's to judge? A BUNCH OF BLIND FINGER POINTING AND VERBAL SPARRING.

    In other words: Nothing.

    it's day 1. Scum looks like town and town looks like scum. That's why town is typically lynched on day 1, for all the effort supposedly expended to prevent it.

    I'm not saying that it isn't a necessary evil to begin the game. I'm just saying that it's a part of the game that never makes sense to me.

    If that makes me scum, so be it. Lynch away.

    Wow, I completely missed Pinky calling me Grib. That's embarrassing.

    Sloth: I am not voting for fontisian. She's still a void.

    ---------- Post automerged at 18:49 ---------- Previous post was at 18:48 ----------

    Unvote
    Vote: fontisian


    Now I am.

    ---------- Post automerged at 18:51 ---------- Previous post was at 18:49 ----------

    So antagonistic, Pinky. Town has a half-decent chance of lynching scum D1, but only if you actually try.

    Do you believe in pressuring people D1? You're not doing that either.

    Not considering the last few games I did that resulted in 2 PR claims and a town lynch.

    Very useful results, innit?

    ---------- Post automerged at 19:09 ---------- Previous post was at 19:06 ----------

    Considering the lack of an ISO function, it's also going to be a bear to do my homework.

    How do you folks do it?

    ---------- Post automerged at 19:11 ---------- Previous post was at 19:09 ----------

    That's a mischaracterization. I am not the aggressor, here.

    I'm merely unapologetic.

    ---------- Post automerged at 19:13 ---------- Previous post was at 19:11 ----------

    Frankly our odds would be better if we rolled dice.

    ---------- Post automerged at 19:15 ---------- Previous post was at 19:13 ----------

    And again, it's not like I'm advocating that everybody should take my approach.

    This is an internal struggle that I'm dealing with, but I won't be pushed around to do shit that I don't feel comfortable with.

    I'll come to grips with it on my own terms. The fact I'm not going to let you dictate my playstyle doesn't make me scum.

    Pinky is fairly transparently town. The problem with calling him that is it encourages other people to emulate useless behavior in order to be townread, which is just gross. So, a little more effort please, Pinky?

    There is a sort of iso function. Go out to the Little Italy subforum and click on the number under Replies next to the thread. Then, click on the name of the person you want to iso.

    Oh, vB swiped that feature from IP.Board?

    Cool... only fair, considering IPB did their own fair share of "borrowing". ;)

    ---------- Post automerged at 20:54 ---------- Previous post was at 20:48 ----------

    Yes, this should do nicely.

    Thanks!

    You're not wrong, but all that effort town expends to lynch scum, the whole blind finger-pointing thing, is the main reason town has something to analyze by D2. Flips are good, but so is being able to look back to D1 and see who was pushing to lynch who.

    Oh right, I said I'd explain myself later.

    Just because I think fontisian may be scum doesn't mean I should vote her on page 3. I read fontisian by her actions and the positions she takes, not by her reaction to pressure.

    She pinged as scummy for ignoring Xanidel and Sloth at first and only poking at Plotless. Xanidel and Sloth seemed off to me (and still do, though in fairness Sloth always seems off), and I was looking for fontisian to pick up on the same things, not ignore them entirely.

    Snowvon is someone I read by his reaction to pressure. So it is more interesting to vote him.

    The ball is now in your court. :colbert:
