Vote Wilgy

Not gonna vote Wigly but can some explain a good reason for a town aligned player to self vote?

#502

Polls are usually kept in a separate thread Silver Lantern. That may not be the case here, so you could ask Spirityo if you're allowed to screenshot them. You said mafia don't have much reason to vote together here though, which is true but altogether an unhelpful statement that could only serve to potentially make others disassociate those voting together in the polls as being teammates. Scum on a fairly regular basis will try to seem like they're contributing by posting info that makes them look like they're being useful when in reality it's just filler disguised as activity. That is why I am questioning a lack of a real point to your statement.

Response to Dyslexicon:

1. I flagged you but didn't vote for the same reason Jay did: to wait for your response. I did mention this, but kind of in the second degree because I was advising someone not to pile votes on you until you responded.

2. Unless the marmot has actual reason to suspect me, I wouldn't read into his vote for me too deeply. He and I have history: in the Talking Heads game I tunneled him hard out of desperation and game-fatigue. He owes me many, many lynch votes. That is, unless he has actual reasons to vote for me pertaining to this game.

3. Mentioning my paranoia was a fluff post, and not at all sincere. I haven't played Mafia in...like, a year? More? That was just me saying it was good to be back.

4. Brusquely saying, 'No,' to my posts without explanation felt almost like you were trying to alienate me or something, because I've played only one game here before. I was taking it personally, I'm disregarding it now, never mind.

5. Most importantly: your response to the 'slip'. Your initial responses read as aloof, as if to laughingly blame us for misreading an obvious and dumb mistake. You insisted that you weren't dumb enough to make such a mistake--something backed up by Jay, who said that not even most beginners would slip such information.

But as Jay also said, even vets mistakes. Egregious ones. I've done it. Jay's done it. Most vets I've played with have done it. I think that the true mistake is not so much in your original slip but the manner in which you responded to it. First aloofness, and then explaining yourself.

Also, citing other games and saying, 'But look at my meta! See? I've done this before!' is a classic scum move.

Don't know that I've often seen a post that gives me as many mixed feels as this one.

On the one hand, I found the false aloofness to be aggravating (though I don't blame him taking a while to get a hard-to-find link, he's busy and the game that held it was huge).
On the other hand, saying "No, you really did screw up that badly" and then blaming him for copying play from previous games (EXACTLY THE SAME PLAY AND STATEMENT) completely contradict each other. It's like:
"No, that was a slip"
then
"It's scummy to purposefully copy previous games where you were town"

WHICH IS IT? I disagree with both.
And don't tell me that he made a mistake/slip and then HAPPENED to have an example of exactly the same thing down to the number.

(Note: When I get on a rant, I might sound agro and stuff. That's just me being a disrespectful old codger. Love ya, Strawhenge. Now die.)

Even without you catching up, this is plainly misrepresentative. You clipped half of my post - the half that said 'if the original post doesn't say the number of mafia'. And what I did was go back and read the original post for myself.

Unless by 'does nothing about it' you mean I didn't vote, in which case - get used to it. I'm not a prolific voter. When I host I generally make votes unchangeable. I find changeable votes do nothing that basic case making doesn't do (in fact, I think they put on less pressure than questions and cases in the thread).

#508

Not only does Dys link show him making the exact same play but it happened just last month. There might be room to be skeptical if he had to dig up something from years ago but as is there is nothing to contest.

#509

I think the value of changeable votes is in late-phase maneuvering, not in pressure. Townies lose a lot of their ability to cooperate if they're stuck with just one vote all day. That's just Mafia theory though, don't mind me.

As for your first point, I blatantly disagree that his post (which yes, I edited out for brevity) looks like a slip. It looked, as I said in a previous post, about as much like a scumslip as me mentioning my "mafia buddies" or whatever in my first post.

And yeah, that's different here. Generally, where I come from, votes are thrown about willy-nilly. I feel like it's a pretty good way of pinging somebody in bolded text, getting yourself on their radar, announcing suspicion, and calling other's attention to it. The idea of being unable to change votes sounds like hell.
But hey, things are different here (or at least with you guys.) Gotcha. I get your point.

Also, people are much more forgiving of the "let's lynch lurkers D1" cry here. Apparently, most people saw one slip in Dizzy's post, where I saw three.
It must not be as obvious to those people.

"Do we have enough support to lynch this guy, or are too many people undecided or AFK?"
"Dunno, nobody's voted yet. Do you say we go for it?"
"If compelling counterevidence comes up, we'll be stuck with useless votes the rest of the day while mafia laughs at us. Let's hold off till the last minute and barely scrape by maybe."

I doubt the permavote games are that bad, but I like showing where my lynch support is. Good point.

Sorry, probably irrelevant.
I will continue taking full advantage of the vote moving as long as I live, though.

Also noted: I am curious about the KillWilgy party.

Had I made only the first statement, sure, your "it's just filler statement" analysis would probably make sense.

But you're completely glossing over the fact that I placed that sentence in context in the very next sentence a sentence you also quoted along with the the sentence you're questioning. In fact, I find you're analysis quoted above to be the real "filler disguised as activity" or "mafia trying to seem helpful" way more than my original statement.

My old friend, my ancient pre-Celtic monument with a twist, I am befuddled. I struggle to understand how you can have this perspective with present information available. So this is to say, with further logical progression:

You believe that Dyslexicon made a mistake, and just happened to have a reference available a prior game with a very similar post in which there was no mistake? As in, the existence of that prior example was good fortune rather than an indicator of personality or play style?

Caught up to this point. Still feel this way about all these players.

Feeling positive towards Fred but that may just be because I want him to play more better (i.e. more scumhunting, less waiting around for night results) and I know he's capable of playing more better cause he's a bright fellow (falling into the middle of the "clutch realmser" tier who can solve games once all the clues are out but rarely gets out there and creates the clues during the day) and I see him trying to play more better.

But does that make him a townie? "Probably" says other people. "We'll see" says me. Same for Silver but with the added fearless townie bonus.

I don't like Nachos's "okay, I've found scum" and "these folks are obviously town" posts. Like, bro, you had me fooled last game but I don't get the impression you're THAT good, know what I mean? Has Sorsha/Sonjei's problem of me only ever playing with scum Nacho (and 10 years ago over the top bulldog townie Nacho) so I can't answer "but would he do this anyway as a townie?"

@Jay: I believe he made a mistake here, yes.

And the game he said it in had information in the OP of how many scum there were. So, what I think happened is that Dyslexicon slipped, remembered a very recent time that he made that claim, and pointed to it as meta.

Long Con wrote:What does this mean, to "fail a quickhammer"?

There were 5 scum alive, and 11 players alive. Majority means that the second a player reaches majority vote, the lynch is locked and the thread goes to night, meaning that if a townie misvotes, scum can pile on and win the game. My partner and I were messing around in the scum QT late at night, both counted wrong, and voted at the exact same time and the same way we quickhammered in a recent game where we were scum together, and didn't realize our mistake until another scum partner pointed out that we put him at L-1.

For reference to those unaware: this is only the second hammer game ever played on The Syndicate. A lot of the regulars are unfamiliar with the lingo. I played a handful on RYM, but this is my first one in a while too. I think given the mixture of representation here there's some general confusion about who is from where and how well we all know one another. Sorting it out:

Syndicate regulars: insertnamehere, sig, Marmot, Quin, Long Con, DrWilgy, Golden, Sorsha, nutella, Scotty, Elohcin, DFaraday
RYM players: Strawhenge, JJJ (I am also a Syndicate regular)
Naruto Forums: Soneji (also a Syndicate regular)
HCRealms: JOH, Silver Lantern, Fredwood
From sprityo's home site: speedchuck
From MU and elsewhere: Nacho
From personality cafe and elsewhere: Dyslexicon

I don't necessarily disagree. Wilgy tends to play in his own little world, but that still amounts to generating reads and interactive links of some kind. However, in a recent game (Felt 2?) I believe he was caught for "player salad" in one of his posts which would contrast this effort so far.

I have no reason to town read him.

Oh, that makes more sense.

Finding a silver platter slip is different from pushing through a strong scumread, the "my work is done, I'm voting scum" wasn't implying that I caught Dizzy or anything to that effect; I was merely noting that it was less urgent for me to catch up that second and was considering sleeping, but ended up catching up anyways.

Golden wrote:He said I 'did nothing' - an accusation directly at odds with the bit he clipped out. Why do you think it's of no relevance?

"Did nothing" refers to the weight of accusation carried in your post. "That's what a real slip looks like" is clearly accusatory, and speedchuck believed that in the absence of a vote it could serve as a bit of a hedge. Declaration without action. Looking back at the OP to confirm the slip isn't action, because it's an implied necessity for the declaration to even matter.

speedchuck can correct me if my interpretation is incorrect.

To me it looks more like you insisting upon a misrepresentation that isn't actually meaningful than speedchuck doing the misrepresenting.

I've entered a busy time and I'm struggling to keep up. My wife's family are coming from Australia today and staying a week, so please don't expect my contributions to be as stellar as usual.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:To me it looks more like you insisting upon a misrepresentation that isn't actually meaningful than speedchuck doing the misrepresenting.

I'm not insisting on anything. I said it once, speedchuck replied, his reply is fine with me. By 'nothing' he did mean 'vote' (which, by the way, is not the same thing as 'nothing' even if you want to interpret it that way), and from the off I realised that it was possible that this is what he meant (although it wasn't clear to me). We've now resolved the misunderstanding.

I don't like this push from you at all. You're making it seem like I was being way more aggressive and repetitive than I was.

How would you Rate this game?
