Is that correct?

Nah, that’s only for games where I manually count votes.

Btw, all those roles are super serious and should mostly chill out. Amber Wine or whatever is pretty hot.

I’m probably supposed to be more professional these days.

Somebody talk to me about times nonsensical looking poll options helped or harmed your faction.

I remember lots of “oh, the cubs should do this” discussions but I’ve never looked back to see if those statements were correct.

The speculation over the roles is an act to get involved.

Now go.

Disagree. DDL tends to be mechanically minded.

Then again, I read DDL for shit.

I can vote after having posted. Looks like DH saw he couldn't vote, posted, and then pooped about not being able to vote without realising he should now be able to.

Weird post.

This aubergine thing sounds silly. Why is there a need to have a vote word?

Because I hate myself.

When we had played in the past, I recall you as having a certain slightly mean edge to you when you were bad. I reread you (you have not said much) and am not seeing it at all here. You could have changed, I guess, but I think it looks like you are taking joke votes.

I’m sometimes a little mean to get what I want, usually when I’m town and utterly convinced I’m right or when I’m scum. You’re not going to see that D1 regardless and when I’m scum, you’ll see it more in late game.

Mac’s not joking. He’s doing that thing where he goes after someone hard early on but doesn’t put forth a convincing case. He often does this to actual mafia members and tends to not actually get a lynch. I’m not sure if the later thing is intentional. Not sure why Nutella is voting me but whatever.

Sloonei wrote: ↑Sat Dec 08, 2018 2:41 pm (In general I always think that pushing for a tie is a lame strategy. There's always a mechanism for deciding the result, and that mechanism always takes the responsibility of the outcome away from the hands of the voters, and that's never preferable. The existence of the tribunal does not change that. We should avoid any situations that would make the tribunal relevant, but none of this is really special to this game.)

So say we all.

[mention]colonialbob[/mention]

If the summary is

Colin: Imma do something that comes across as suspicious D1.
Sloonei: Vote Colin
Epi: Bullshit. Colin is town, therefore you are bad.

Then I tend to lean on Sloonei being bad over Colin. Colin has been almost mislynched like thirty times in the past couple games. Sloonei should know better.

Will update this read once I get to the part of the thread where Colin actually does the suspicious thing.

I think Epi?’s suspicion on DDL was junk but I don’t know why others jumped on DDL.

Ugh. Less than an hour to go and I need to shower...

Water damage...missing the lynch...whatever damage...

Which comes first? Am or pm?

I voted for Colin long before his DDL vote.

This aubergine thing sounds silly. Why is there a need to have a vote word?

Because since the poll itself no longer shows vote order some people may want to go back through the thread and track the vote order so the word aubergine was attached to in-thread votes (using the vote tags). That way you can search aubergine and bring up the votes and see the order.

Ok, i previewed a vote and see how it works now. I thought y'all were literally typing aubergine every time.
Still, looks like not everyone uses the vote tags so it doesn't really work imo. The whole thing looks ridiculous

Tbh I think it doesn't actually work lol. Since the word is part of the tag code it's not actually searchable text. So it's kinda pointless.

I never actually used them for FE cause they weren’t used consistently.

Thanks for this, but in the game I am thinking of (maybe the crossover game we played?) I recall thinking you were bad your very first post. Maybe it was luck, lol.

You should have tried to lynch me.


I should write a paper about obvious scum not getting lynched because they keep lynching slightly more obvious scum. That was me all through the ME crossover and also DH through the end of HP.

Like we are predisposed to ignore anything that comes out of outted scum’s or your top suspect’s mouth and this benefits scum in games with multiple scum factions.

Being rid of the Trickster is nice cause forges suck. No idea what Nutella’s role actually did.

Potential Nutella killers: Dark Worshiper, Frost Knight, Psionic Ninja (probably not).

Potential TH killers: Idk. Dark Worshipper still seems pretty doom-y.
