Last game we played there, we were so close to lynching a baddie on the first day, only for someone to take their vote off at the last minute because they got scared it was a civ lynch. So I'm all for pushing people and questioning them from the start. I really don't see the point in talking if you do nothing but make sarcastic remarks. I'd rather just come back the next day.
If you just vote randomly, there's a higher chance of lynching a civ. I try to make my odds better. Sometimes it doesn't work, but then, I'm not doing any worse than lynching a civ randomly

To be fair, your day periods generally last 4-5 IRL days, so it lends itself to more discussion and, in turn, makes you more likely to nab a baddie on Day 1. Most of us are used to 48 hours at most, so generally we'll feel a bit differently about it than K-Siters will.

I agree on the voting randomly part though. I try to go for the person who I feel strongest about based on what happens in the thread on Day 1. I feel that's much
better than trying to roll the dice and hope you get lucky.

I'm not very sure about anyone quite yet, and the only thing that's stuck out is John's self-vote. Instead, I'm going to try something I normally hate people doing because I feel like it: randomizing!

I did a 1-18 generator (in order of everyone's name in the lynch poll), and got #5, so Bass. Sorry man!

What's with all these uneasy faces? It comes across to me like you're trying hard to look like you don't know who to vote for when in reality you don't know because you don't want to come out looking bad.

I wasn't trying to dissuade you. Just expressing the frustration at how often I get lynched early in these games.

Because this is the first day one in a while where absolutely nothing jumps at me and it bothers me.
Although, you and FZ have had an awful good time of picking everything I have to say apart.

I sort of feel like john showing back up in the thread after voting himself and receiving a second vote is indicative of being told in BTSC to come back to the thread...but his self-vote post uses the phrasing "don't know who to vote for yet", so I'm unsure.

How have I not fought? I have answered every suspicion leveled against me. What more can I do? I love this game, but one thing I hate about it is that the people who participate the most consistently get lynched first, while those who take the lazy approach and do nothing slide by without effort. You guys are new here, but anyone who has played with me in a few games can tell you how often I've been killed off early simply because my style is talkative, and yes, I find that frustrating. Who wouldn't?

Word to this. Just for that, I'm willing to vote for a low poster even if it gets me in trouble, because I hate that those who say nothing fly under the radar for so long. I think that even if a person is a baddie, he deserves a chance just for having the balls to be vocal.

Um, what have I picked apart? I mentioned this and said you were fluffy. Barely picking apart.
And yes, you used the smiley twice. It is not all of that but more so the general vibe I feel you are trying to portray of not knowing what to do.
This post just feels like you're trying to make yourself look like a victim.

Wow another post where I respond to your accusations and you find fault in that.

Dom wrote:sorsha, rey....? you guys there?


I did a quick reread and noticed Sorsha hasn't posted in three days. Rey has been very non-talkative and when he does post it's fluff. Then, Sorsha asked about game mechanics, but didn't ever go past that in her posts. :hmm:

Do they post more when they are civs in comparison to when baddies?

@linki: I know, Kitty, but I'm playing for fun as well as for the win, and if we all just lay low, we wouldn't enjoy the game. So why should the vocal people pay the price? This is something that pisses me every game, lol

I understand what you guys are saying but why should someone change the way they play. I mean if someone sits back and takes in stuff and picks his/her battles why should they get lynched just because they don't talk a lot.

K4J, I've seen him aggressive, but honestly, he is doing everything that he accuses other people of doing. He says I am twisting everything someone says into a statement that makes them seem bad. I see him doing this with almost every single one of my responses to him.

MR: I think Sorsha has been online, just not posting.

LINKI:
FZ-- I don't know their posting habits based on alignment, but I don't like how quiet, especially Sorsha is being. Also, there's a difference between giving the vocal players a chance on Day 1 and on Day 4 or 5 haha.


Bass, there's a difference between not posting a lot and not talking a lot.

I understand what you are saying . I just think that everyone plays different and some people might be shy or whatever and shouldn't have to worry about posting a lot just so they don't get lynched.

By that same logic, I shouldn't have to alter my play style and become more quiet to avoid being lynched, but I do have to, although I can never actually bring myself to do it.

That was FZ who said something like that, which I don't even agree with.
All I said about you was that your confusion came across as suspicious because it felt kind of forced to me. Which I never stated I was confident in, just a feeling. Then you got over defensive and said I was at your throat for everything, which I wasn't and yes, that made me feel you were making yourself look like a victim, because I never did what you are acting like I have. Perhaps you are getting FZ and I confused.
