Sorry guys, kind of out of it for today. I'll be better tomorrow. Unvote Kiriwe for now... I'm keeping my eye on her, though. (Maybe she's just guilty of something irl. heh heh Oooohhh I think I know what it is!)
Fyler was slightly defensive right away, but we have so little to go on in any case. I guess it wouldn't hurt to give a little more thought to our first lynching.

Yeah, Kiriwe's defensiveness was really apparent. I can't remember Fyler being all that defensive or passive aggressive. What'd he say?


I think it was the sarcastic comment I made about bandwagoning Kiradawea after archer said something about not posting anything useful.
Fyler2009-03-05 07:26:52
This is where, I believe, the "defensive" argument started.

Archer 2.

Fyler, Shaddus and Archer2. Those three have to speak up.



QUOTE (Fyler @ Mar 3 2009, 08:32 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Why are we post counting on day one?



QUOTE (Archer2 @ Mar 3 2009, 08:36 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
First of all, I think they were just post counting solely to see who had posted yet and who hadn't said anything, not really to deem if someone was being too quiet.

Second of all, is that all you're gonna say? Way to contribute to the discussion.

Unvote
Vote: Fyler


*Bolded an interesting contradiction. A post count was posted, three of us were pointed out as being, in so many words, too quiet. I asked why we were post counting so early, and Archer2 responds that it was "not to deem if someone was being too quiet." Not that it points to anyone being a demon, but I just found it interesting and perhaps something to remember.

LOL@Archer2



QUOTE (Fania @ Mar 3 2009, 08:43 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Agreed, hee hee



QUOTE (Fyler @ Mar 3 2009, 08:44 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
....the vote counting, band wagon discussion?

Okay. Um...

Vote: kiradawea

Much like everyone else, I have no reason.


Is that enough contribution?

The sarcasm.

I'm still confused as to how I was so amazingly defensive that I almost got lynched.

That's how things work in Mafia games. Things snowball, people overreact to the slightest hint of "scumminess", and before we know it we've got an innocent person hanging off a tree. I see it...



... every day.

I don't see the point in posting when there is nothing to contribute.

I keep seeing "lurking" brought up and I just don't believe that's a valid argument at this point.

Because if no one says anything, nothing ever gets done and the game gets stuck on Day 1 until far after the cows go home. If a game starts on Day 1, you have practically nothing to work with, because everyone is so terrified of saying something scummish and get a train run over them. Roleclaiming is always risky business, because if you're honest you risk revealing too much information to the mafia, and if you lie, someone might notice it. At the same time, that's the only time we get a real information leak, besides getting to see the role after someone is killed, lynched.

Summary, saying something, even if you don't see the immediate contribution it brings, will in the end be beneficial to the town because it gives them more to work with. After all, town knows nothing, while scum knows about their fellow scum.

Your too funny Dai. That must mean you are a demon tongue.gif

You're not your...damnit.
Daganev2009-03-05 16:54:33
fubar ? perhaps my last... we shall see if this game gets too many pages.
Fania2009-03-05 16:57:13
No more? denied?

There's such a thing as too many pages? confused.gif

Ok, I'm going back to voting for people who aren't contributing. Because I've nothing better to go on! laugh.gif If someone has a better suggestion, please do share!

So, I'm gonna Vote Renthur. According to his profile he was 'Last Seen: Today, 10:24 AM.' There's no reason in all these pages and posts to only have 2 posts.
Dugan2009-03-05 17:07:21
Hrm. Vat to do, vat to do. We're starting to stagnate on day one, so it probably needs to end soon .... to vote for one thats quiet and not really participating much ... or take out one who has/is participating, but gave a weak claim after almost getting ninja lynched ... but at least she gave something that can be investigated.

VOTE: Renthur
Fania2009-03-05 17:08:52
Noola: There can never be too many pages.

Okay....wait a minute...I'm not understanding the votecount here... why are Kira and Fyler on there twice, and some of us not on there at all?
kiriwe2009-03-05 17:14:04
bolded names are the ones getting voted for, and the regular names after it are those who are voting for the bolded name.

Dugan, what do you want me to do? Lie? I have a vanilla role, and I can't help that. I could mention the picture that was in my role. Image of a DVD cover with the word Angel on it, I think from the TV show. Is that good enough for you? Also, it said I am more useful than a human.
I don't know what all Caerulo said in the other thread, because I'm not watching it. one Mafia thread is enough, I don't want to confuse myself.

I'm going to Vote: Renthur so he has a little more pressure on him to talk. Eight pages and two posts is sad.

I don't think it is so much about lying as it is your aggressiveness.

And now it all makes sense, thanks Kiriwe. Anyways, since Renthar hasn't bothered to post much I might as well Vote: Renthur and hope for the best.

Wait, first I was being called defensive, now aggressive? I'm confused, which is it?

Passive aggressive? You're hostile. Is that sufficient?

No, because I don't know what you mean.

I voted for Fania because it seemed to me she was hinting at having a power of some sort, and that she was going to use it on me for some reason (I was confused then, too.) When it was explained to me she was joking, I unvoted. Then everybody piled on me and I was a vote away from being lynched. If I come across as defensive, it's only because I want to keep playing! I like this game and don't want to be offed in the beginning!
