I thought I said they were both partially right. I don't think any one person figured out what I was trying to say until I clarified it myself. But this is the point I was trying to make about Dex back then:nutella wrote:See, this is the part that confuses me. You quoted two people who thought you were saying two different things, and said they were both right. It just didn't make sense.birdwithteeth11 wrote:In the interest of not making a huge quote pyramid out of that, I will just respond with a separate post. Yes, my wording was conflated and my response was odd. I think the heat and lack of AC was getting to my brain, and made it hard to explain the message I was trying to get across. A few people had sort of figured out what I was trying to say, so I pulled those quotes in an attempt to clear up my point.
Most of your defense seems genuine (kinda playing up the heat getting to your brain thing but I can buy that I guess), but you're not really responding to what I actually found odd. Probably my fault for not being clear. >_>
That's the only thing I've seen Epi go after. But that's the only other evidence I've seen against me.juliets wrote:Oh sorry for the double post but i also remember the issue with why he exempted Vomps from his comments that he is suspicious of early random votes. Is there anything else?
Yes, I just posted everything Epi said about him, which I find a very spurious case. The only other thing I've seen people pick up on is the typo, but I don't think there is anything there that indicates he is bad. I urge people not to lynch him today.juliets wrote:Oh sorry for the double post but i also remember the issue with why he exempted Vomps from his comments that he is suspicious of early random votes.

My first ping on Aces was defiance. I fully agree with llama that players are more than welcome to post, vote, and play however suits them, and that no one HAS to explain any of their actions in a mafia game. However, these players need to realize that I can also play however I want. If you're refusing to give reasons for your votes or otherwise contribute to the thread, I'm tempted to vote you. That's because in the best case you're apathetic and not helping the civvies, and worst case you're bad and trying to kill us.AceofSpaces wrote:R.I.P agleaminranks
Boo's reason for wanted to vote for me makes no sense. He's made no sense this entire game. I was going to vote for agleaminranks because he point blank said "I will not contribute the the civie cause. I will let you all die while I watch without giving you any chance to examine me". Or something to that effect. That doesn't strike you as suspicious Boo?
Boo voted for me specifically because I voted for him. Now he is suspicious of me. Did I strike a nerve yesterday Boo? Are you so threatened by one vote?

Except, as I said before when you said this, that still isn't a reason.AceofSpaces wrote:The case against me makes no sense, at all. I'm evil because
1. I refused to explain a throwaway day 1 vote. Which I later explained anyway.
2. I wanted to force someone who said they would not post or participate or contribute to finding baddies to actually do all of those things.
Not sure where that logic leads, but I'd advise against following it.
I'm going to Vote for BWT because it makes more sense than voting for me.
Added for Russ: I was going to vote for algea *today*. He gave me reason to vote for him when he posted at night, so I obviously couldn't go back and vote for him on day one. He died before I could vote for him. And I have given my reason for voting boo. I didn't want to vote for AP, so I threw one onto boo. Pretty simple reason. Does that clear things up for you?
llama, I don't trust lizzy one bit either. And I had not noticed the mysterious GOB voting but not posting.thellama73 wrote:Great point about Dex, russ. I missed that.
I don't have anything on Nevinera, but I know his personality in real life and he thrives on logical analysis. I'm having a hard time believing that he's too intimidated by the game setup to participate. It is my believe that he is intentionally waiting for the ranks to thin out before diving in, shielding himself from scrutiny in the process. This doesn't make him bad, it is a perfectly valid civ strategy, but it is enough to make me want to keep an eye on him (and perhaps provoke him into posting more than he would like to.)
linki: I have come around to thinking Dex is probably good. That's just how he is. I don't trust Lizzy at all, though. Also, it's worth remembering that the mysterious G.O.B. STILL has not made a single post, and yet has voted.
Better be careful there, llama -- playing devil's advocate for bwt got me two votes today.thellama73 wrote:I'm going out on a limb here (at great personal risk to myself if I happen to be wrong) but I just reread BWT and I really don't think he is bad. I have been on a baddie team with him multiple times, and he is reading completely civ to me right now. I don't have any specific quotes to pull, it is just his overall tone. I find the way Rob, Elohcin and others are gunning for him somewhat suspect.
DH and Vomps voted one after the other for Mongoose (who is female, btw.) They both posted it, and there reasoning, as far as I could tell, was that it was a semi-random selection of people who voted for A Person. Vomps felt like he was just imitating DH's vote, since it is unlikely they both would have randomized to the same person.Russtifinko wrote: Also, Mongoose has 2 votes?! Those weren't mentioned in the thread, were they? And what has he done to draw suspicion in any way? I'm just shocked that he's #3 in votes, but haven't seen anything to make me notice him at all.

Voting Zany Dex for the reasons enumerated above and elsewhere. I think it's a compelling argument (but that doesn't mean some of the other candidates aren't seriously on my radar for subsequent weeks).Devin the Omniscient wrote:Ok. I am still pinged by bwt but not quite as much as a couple of others. Thank you for explaining the typo. I was also not pinged by Vomps coin toss.
I am also getting bad vibes from Aces and Snow Dog for previously mentioned reasons.
Thank you very much for pointing out the 5 votes on Dex Russ. I completely missed that! Now I am beginning to wonder if Dex is attempting reverse psychology: Telling everyone to vote for him so that no one votes for him. I am very much considering a vote for him and may have to do just that shortly.

And 13 people yet to vote in the next 100 minutes or so. It is very much anybody's lynch.Mongoose wrote: Also, crazy lineup today with a nearly 3-way tie.

How is being defiant and anti-establishment trying to keep a low profile?nutella wrote:
Honestly I would be up to vote for Lizzy. She's been on my list but she keeps falling off the radar, which worries me even more. I took note of her when she voted for herself and the point was brought up that there are baddie roles who start off with null votes. And she had the sort of anti-establishment attitude toward the game as well. I don't remember seeing her post much at all since day 1 so she may be trying to keep a low profile. So my vote is either going to her or bwt.
It was not meant to either.super linki... hi Lizzy, the tone of that post is not helping you any in my book![]()

But maybe I just have chronic voting anxiety because I'm from Floriduh.

The game setup isn't 'intimidating', it's simply too complicated to draw conclusions from,Russtifinko wrote:Thanks, llama. I agree that Nev seems extremely logical and I would think he'd thrive in this setup. I think your read on him is likely spot-on so far.

Well, I am having fun anyway.Nevinera wrote: I'm actually starting to agree with the randomizers about this particular game.
There's so little information available that I might as well be rolling dice for my vote.
I don't buy into the 'typos are freudian' arguments that seem so popular;
I don't even really think Ace is all that good a suspect, despite my voting for him.
There's just nothing there to make a better decision on, and it's frustrating me.
And it's all so much *work*.
