He said he thinks it shows the mindset of a recruiter who has control over recruiting (ie someone who is certain they can make sure they won't be on a team with epi), while simultaneously saying the original statement is wrong because recruiters don't have control over recruiting (ie I can't be certain I won't be on a team with epi).JaggedJimmyJay wrote:I interpret him as seeing what he thinks is a logical discrepancy in your content and perceiving it to be a sign of insincerity.

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
it has been established, but you keep talking like you know for certain that you and epig will not end up being on a team. You do not seem genuine in the things you are saying. That is why I voted for you. The mechanics of the idea of not having full control over a recruit plays no part in my vote for you.Golden wrote:Rey - read this conversation back. You are contradicting yourself all over. Why does my original statement make me bad?reywaS wrote:It HAS been established that recruiters don't get to pick a name to recruit every time because of the host post saying as much. That alone should tell you that you can't 100% guarantee that the two of you won't end up on a team. Are you really going to ignore this? You are smarter than that. You know very well that you can't make that guarantee but you continue to pretend like it is a legit perspective.Golden wrote:You are telling me that is is 'well established' that recruiters don't have control over the recruits. If that is true, what sense does it make that me being a recruiter would make any odds to my certainty?reywaS wrote:I don't know. But the only way your idea about never being on Epig's team in this game makes any sense is if you are a recruiter. It still doesn't make sense for you to say this, but it's the only way it makes sense for you to think it...that you had some sort of control over the event. I dunno. Why do you keep saying you are so sure you will not be on his team?Golden wrote:Why? Whats the baddie motive?reywaS wrote:might could beGolden wrote:
You and I clearly have a different view of well established. If it was well established, as you say, why would that comment make you ponder anyway? Would it make me bad to have said it?
You say it's because it makes sense if I'm a recruiter.
Look at this:

Or that the comment makes me look like I'm bad because it makes me look like I have control over the event...

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
@Typh, would there be vote manipulations in this lynch, though? Don't the roles with vote tweaks have to submit actions etc. at night, thus that will all be in play tomorrow? Unless I'm minunderstanding things, I think only two team leaders could be revealed in this lynch, one with a lynch pardon, one with a lynch save?

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
they show up in the post as a different role, usually a civ role. In one recruitment game, DH famously was revealed to be a non existent civ role. The civs made a lot of bad assumptions on that reveal.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:What exactly is a "seemer"? I'm unfamiliar with this role/ability.

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
I'm not a huge fan of them personally because not only do they tend to wind up with the person whose role was faked outing themselves and being lynched to prove it, but they also create an excuse of "oh they showed up civ but they were totes the seemer guys, I haven't just bandwagoned a civ". I remember a game where that showed up like 3 lynches in a row.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Oh okay.

Linki Dom - Because I said I'd probably vote a low poster if nothing else. DF is a low poster. I'm not married to my vote staying there though, if something fun happens in the next however long we've got left maybe I'll swap.

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
Oh, it's been established because there is one contest that I didn't enter?
That doesn't make sense, because if epi wins the contest I'm still not on his team. and I'm not going to be winning it.
Also, the recruiter still has control...
@JJ - I think he perceives a logical inconsistency in my posts where there is none, whereas I actually found a logical inconsistency in his posts which actually exists. I think any indicator that someone can't keep their thoughts straight is an indicator that their thoughts may not be genuine, and I see it as inherently negative.
@rey - having a dialogue with JJ regularly helps me interpret my own thoughts.

@JJJ, I described the role in my last post.
And I don't think we have roles around our mafia culture that are taboo. LC/BR are both hosts that like to come up with creative role ideas. And in LC's game where he created the seemer, there were a lot of really interesting roles. I'm actually trying to figure out how to use Yin and Yang, who switched allignment with each other each day, as a role concept again.
I'll also throw in that BWT was here for a while and did not respond to the votes on him or my point about his not posting an accurate list. That increases my suspicion.LoRab wrote: Unless the person is bad, we actually will theoretically learn nothing regardless because of the seemer being a position 1 action--at least the first time, the seemer role (which I had, so I remember it well), was able to show up as they wanted in a check and as they wanted if lynched. It was really quite fun to have--and is a pain to have if you are not on that team, lol. LC could have tweaked the ability for this game, and probably has, but we can't know ot what degree.
I mean, we learn that the person lynched is either X role or a baddie alligned/playing as a baddie even though neutral Seemer--so the chances are a person really is as they appear. But we won't actually know that as fact.

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
Are you serious? It's one specific recruitment, yes..but it sets a precedent. It tells us that the recruiters will not have 100% control over who they recruit every time. Therefore, you cannot be so sure that you will never end up on a team with Epig. FFS man.

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
reywaS, do you find Golden's content and methods in this game so far to be indicative of a recruiter role outside the perceived discrepancy you've been focusing on recently? Consider all elements of Golden so far, including his involvement with other players, post count, his own meta as you perceive it, and anything else of relevance.

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
With you on the contradiction. Can't remember if he ever addressed it but it's something I picked up on. As for the rest... I dunno. He obviously should've known everyone has a power by now and there were only ever a handful of vanillas. But then even if someone in a BTSC chat said to him "hey did you know in the past we were all vanilla for this game??" I don't see why he'd turn around and say having a power is unusual. He was presumably given a role himself at the beginning of the game, as we all were... So in sum, I dunno. I'd like to see him address this.Dom wrote:This post.

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
Golden I have played all of them & Rey is 100% correct. We had control the first one or two recruits, but most of them were "submit a poem" or "submit a picture". Or " Write a paragraph telling us why you would be an amazing member of our team". And we picked blindly based on that kind of thing. When I was a civ recruiter, after the first 2 ( a group of 3) we did not know who we recruited, although we figured it out in some cases. When it was Rey & I recruiting in the third game, we had no idea who we were getting until we got the PM.reywaS wrote:Are you serious? It's one specific recruitment, yes..but it sets a precedent.

I cannot be sure I will never end up on a team with Epi, because who knows what the hosts have in mind, which I already admitted ages ago. I can only be certain that anyone who chooses to recruit me to that team is making a mistake.
The problem here is how you stepped to the next thing - the fact that I said that makes me bad, based on your own assessment that it is 'well established' I won't be able to prevent it.
You still haven't been able to give a good reason for why it makes me bad.
You said it's because maybe I'm a recruiter who has control over it, but that negates your entire premise.
linki @SVS - I'm sure it is. But I haven't played any of them, something that is 'well established' in the thread. So why does rey think it is so 'well established' that my comment is full of shit?

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
Would you agree that civvie-minded people sometimes commit "no u"? Moreover, I think his point against you was understandable. I already stated my understanding of your point against him. Should I lynch you both?reywaS wrote:I think he's full of shit. Civvie minded people don't usually become that full of shit. And now he's turning this into a giant No U. He's even using the same argument for me being bad that I'm using against him. How much more full of shit can someone possibly get?
Or should I take a step back and consider the full implications of each nuanced component of this scenario?

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
Do all recruitment contests state which leader it is for? Could someone truly only apply to civ teams?

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
Wrong. I see why you are holding on so tightly to that argument, but it doesn't make it correct.Golden wrote:If I never enter a contest, I can never be recruited by way of one. So it sets a precedent I have entire control over.reywaS wrote:Are you serious? It's one specific recruitment, yes..but it sets a precedent. It tells us that the recruiters will not have 100% control over who they recruit every time. Therefore, you cannot be so sure that you will never end up on a team with Epig. FFS man. Are you really going to play this dumb on this?Golden wrote:Oh, it's been established because there is one contest that I didn't enter?
That doesn't make sense, because if epi wins the contest I'm still not on his team. and I'm not going to be winning it.
Also, the recruiter still has control...
@JJ - I think he perceives a logical inconsistency in my posts where there is none, whereas I actually found a logical inconsistency in his posts which actually exists. I think any indicator that someone can't keep their thoughts straight is an indicator that their thoughts may not be genuine, and I see it as inherently negative.

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
Of course I would agree with that. He's playing dumb with the details. In my experience he doesn't do that when he's a civvie. That's why I voted for him.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Would you agree that civvie-minded people sometimes commit "no u"? Moreover, I think his point against you was understandable.

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
OK, well why does it make me bad, then?
Because that was your answer last time I asked. I don't hold tightly on to things because I feel like it. I hold tightly on to the reasons people give me themselves. That's the reason you gave me.
Just like with epi, when he originally said his view was one thing but then he changed his mind to something else.
I didn't need to no u you on this. I asked you why it made you ponder. It was an opportunity for you to think about it and realise that what I said doesn't actually make any more sense coming from a baddie recruiter than it does coming from anyone else. If not your original answer, please tell me why you think it makes more sense coming from a baddie than it does to be coming from someone who is neutral.

Additionally, this is a huge contradiction. "Random vote"-->I think SVS is bad???

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
@rey - I'm not playing dumb with the details. If anything, I think you are playing dumb with the details, insisting they support your statements when they don't.
You've even played dumb with the details of my own posting this morning, ignoring the bits that don't suit you, like the times I've admitted that my original statement might not be correct.
Doesn't mean I didn't think it was correct when I made it, and you are pointing at a contest for a baddie recruit as the single bit of evidence that I should have known it couldn't be certain.
I've also made it pretty clear multiple times that my point is people would be wise not to try to recruit me on to epi's team.

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
wrong again. When I was pondering the possibility of you being a recruiter, I was not saying that you were necessarily bad. That came later after you kept playing dumb.Golden wrote:OK, well why does it make me bad, then?

Re: Recruitment Mafia IV: Dawn of the Clans (Day 1)
The question I asked you is 'what is the baddie motive'.
Your response is really clear - that the only way it makes sense for me to say it is if I am a recruiter who has some control over recruitment.
BUT - the whole premise of the conversation was me saying 'why does it make me bad IF it has been well established that recruiters don't have control'.
Essentially, you are admitting yourself that - my post doesn't make any sense from ANYONE. Recruiters or otherwise.
So why does it make you ponder, and why does it make me bad? It's not that hard.

This is not me calling you bad, Golden. This is me asking you questions.
Then I said this.reywaS wrote:It HAS been established that recruiters don't get to pick a name to recruit every time because of the host post saying as much. That alone should tell you that you can't 100% guarantee that the two of you won't end up on a team. Are you really going to ignore this? You are smarter than that. You know very well that you can't make that guarantee but you continue to pretend like it is a legit perspective.Golden wrote:You are telling me that is is 'well established' that recruiters don't have control over the recruits.
