I understand that completely. It's all about what eventually people perceive to be 'normal' behavior from you.Roxy wrote:Nope you did not deserve to be lynched but as a player who does give reasons for his vote and rales against randomizing when you voted with little to no reasoning it stands out. Like me during Sesame Street mafia trying to get rey lynched with reasons stuck out b/c I don't usually go all out on Day 1 to find a reason. Understand?

Ahhhh linki and I don't have time to read it since I really should be out the door! I'll address these when I get back, I'm already later leaving than I should be.
Seriously?
And your gut is wrong!
I genuinely mixed up the poll end times and I am spending far more time in the other game than this one at the moment, so I randomized my vote. And this whole random discussion pisses me off everytime. If there is nothing to go on, randomizing is perfectly legitimate. It is as effective on D1 as voting "minor pings". Both are more likely to snare a civvie statistically. It is very rare to nab a baddie on D1 - as you well know.
Also, people who are dead set against randomizing as vehemently as you and then go ahead and pursue "randomizing people with votes" or "randomizing insert whatever excuse here" are hypocritical. So, Sock, you are a hypocrit

I just don't get how anyone can disagree with this, but whatever. I'm vocal about my viewpoint on randomizing every time this comes up.Kate wrote:My whole point about the randomizing is that if you randomize, there is nothing to go back to later. If you vote a weak ping, or a bad fakes a weak ping, those are in the thread as evidence later in the game. Randomizing tells everyone nothing, and if you are bad, that is a good thing. So the argument about "its just as likely to lynch a civ as is voting on weak pings" may be true but it leaves something to be analyzed later, which randomizing doesn't.
I read boo's post the same exact way, planting seeds for a later vote. I've often done it as baddie. The way he came in here and denounced votes against him as nonsense was interesting as well, especially coupled with a little subtle switcheroo.He-Man wrote:Well Boo's 'intention' turned to reality.
There are things called, erm 'playing the field' your 'intention' was really laying the ground work for your 'intentional' vote. Call your bluff. Glad I voted Boo now.
I'm sorry? What about my vote constituted blanket randomizing?Vompatti wrote:Whoops, almost missed it. Voted for MP for randomizing.
Thanks for clarifying, boo. I do agree it's nice to get rid of non-participants, but this early in the game it's impossible to know whether one of those players is civvie or baddie, and honestly getting rid of the baddies is obviously top priority.boo wrote:Sorry LT, I didn't want to vote for you but staying alive and all that good stuff.
And, I didn't get a chance to post about my opinion on d1 voting philosophy, so here goes.
I always prefer voting non-participants if there are any and I don't think there are any good reasons to vote anyone else. It has nothing to do with my alignment, I've done it as a civvie and a baddie and at the very least tend to discuss like I did here, as I tend to bring up those names as votes I'm considering on d1 because I ALWAYS consider a non-participant for a d1 vote.
It is annoying to make the decision to replace or host kill a player. You eventually have to do that with a non-participant. Killing them (as a player of the game) makes sense to me because it prevents killing a person actually playing the game. I don't care about a persons alignment if they are not playing, what's the point of having them in the game? They are adding absolutely nothing to the game for other players, and I for one would much rather have an interesting game by keeping people playing it around then keeping around someone who isn't playing, regardless of their alignment. The only valid counter-argument to that in my mind is "But Winning..." and if that's the kind of game you like to play then I honestly consider your opinion worthless. It's a game played for fun, sure winning can be fun, but winning by eliminating active players and keeping your non-threats around is not interesting.
Anyways, moving on. I'm thinking INH (just all those posts didn't sit right with me), MP (started the LT train, I don't agree with a great deal of what he said), and Kate (of my voters, I think hers was the most nonsense. I didn't have a chance to read He-Mans post before I voted and made that post, I have no problem with his vote, I didn't want to see LT lynched on her birthday either) for d2 considerations, but we'll see how the night goes.

I agree that Snow Dog and INH look most likely to be baddie at this point, just going off of how the lynch/votes went down. I'm not sold on either of them, but you seem pretty confident here. What do you think about INH, boo, or juliets?reywaS wrote:LMAO. Yeah, you go ahead and do that, Snow Dog. I'm pretty sure we've got a baddie in you, sir.Snow Dog wrote:Same goes for you.

I disagree with boo's rationale here. Of course the game is more fun if everyone is participating, and in another day period or 2 if we still had no major leads I'd be willing to look at no-shows. But on Day 1 the game has been going on for just over 24 hours, and I can think of plenty of RL reasons why someone wouldn't check the site within that time frame. I would hate to lynch a player (at least, assuming they were civvie) who was really interested in playing and just hadn't had time to check in, because I would feel really bad if that happened to me. As I (and LT, I think?) previously stated, lynching a Day 1 no-show is at best no better than randomization, and since baddies may have other channels of communication it's even very slightly more likely that a civvie would not have noticed. Honestly, I'm flabbergasted you're still trying to drive this point home, and it continues to ping me.MovingPictures07 wrote:Thanks for clarifying, boo.

I'm wondering about INH myself. I do find it weird that LT ended up getting lynched, especially when I said I didn't feel strong at all about her. INH does often get lynched unfairly as a civvie though, so I am a bit hesitant, and I'm not sure we saw a baddie INH or not. I'm leaning to think that we didn't, but I don't know.
Though I must ask, how does LT's birthday have anything to do with wanting to get her lynched or not? If she were a baddie, why would it matter whether it was her birthday?
You are including me with inh and boo which tells me you find me suspicious.

You shouldn't make assumptions based off of people I ask others about. But I understand that, if I am calling you as suspicious, that I do it to your face so you can respond.juliets wrote:You are including me with inh and boo which tells me you find me suspicious.

Remind me what your question from yesterday was (I must have missed it) and I will answer it.
I haven't been getting a read on either INH or Snow Dog. Is your suspicion of them based solely on the vote for LT? Because we both voted for LT and we are good.MovingPictures07 wrote:

No problem. I try to do that in games to gauge how people respond about others throughout the game. You can often manage to crack open teams that way on retrospect (like how I made the decision at the beginning of MOTU that I would defend Snow Dog when he is brought up, but enough about that game since it is in progress).juliets wrote:Thanks for your response MP and I see what you are saying, makes sense.

I simply haven't checked that much and was kinda pissed to see someone voting for me based on "low posting." I think is a bit early in the game to conclude that low posters are avoiding discussions.

And what you did right here is called a "switcheroo" which means voting for someone just because they voted for you. Also a baddie tactic.
So normally I would think this makes you more suspicious but I do see how new you are so maybe you didn't know.
Also, RIP LT it's very sad to see you go. And welcome to the "I got lynched on my birthday" club.

I believe LT about mixing up the post times, but the randomization doesn't sit well with me. I agree with Kate that it seems like something a baddie would be more likely to do than a civvie. I don't trust boo, and I would probably be voting Roxy if she were in the poll based on general attitude.
It is therefore with a heavy heart that I vote LT.

You have seemed overly aggressive to me. Maybe that's just your play style, but it struck me as suspicious. Also, your push to lynch Auger voters (irrespective of the fact thta I happen to be one) is very confusing to me and I can't see the logic behind it.

I'm feeling the same way on all three of those players. I would say this seems to be relatively normal behavior from Rox, so while it doesn't make sense to me, she's not necessarily really pinging me as BADDIE or anything. I haven't played with her in a while now though. I'll read through posts myself once I have some more time and see if I can't figure anything out. I do think there's one baddie to be found in the LT bandwagon, perhaps, just not sure who it is.Russtifinko wrote:Care to explain how you know MP is good, llama?thellama73 wrote:I haven't been getting a read on either INH or Snow Dog.

I read through Snow Dog and INH and don't think there's much there to make a decision on yet. I certainly didn't get INH's logic that randomizing is bad but killing no-shows on Day 1 is ok, but that doesn't make him bad necessarily. Snow Dog's vote does look bad, but he's not the only LT voter. I still don't and will never understand Roxy's anti-auger campaign and agree that her aggression seems over the top, though I do appreciate that she's started so much discussion. Can anyone comment on whether this is a 'normal' play style for her?
And I suppose it's too much too hope anyone will post the poll now, right? This will be a consistent problem for me because I go to bed long before they finish; can someone volunteer to get them in the future?
Why does my vote look bad? Is it because, assuming I was mafia I quickly voted for LT and followed a trend? I could answer if I was really mafia I would have been more subtle. No. I voted LT because she raised most suspicion to me and as I'm not mafia I had no need to be more subtle. I gave my reason and voted.Russtifinko wrote:Care to explain how you know MP is good, llama?thellama73 wrote:I haven't been getting a read on either INH or Snow Dog.
