I will be voting for the first person to self-vote.

If that doesn't happen, I'm tempted to vote for Epig for trying too hard to act like the grammar police, but I'm not sure I'll actually act on that desire. I'm sure something better will emerge... I hope.

Whilst the grammar police anooy me sometimes, I don't think it's worth a vote, I think it's kinda sucky to vote for someone because they do something that annoys you.

Just like its sucky to use a night kill or other horrible power on someone because they did something 'bad' to you in a past game.

No, I agree completely. I really just wanted to see what Robert (Epig) would say. :p

I really don't like when people revenge vote or kill either; it beats the purpose IMO. Every game is a fresh start.

I'd much rather vote for the lowest poster than for Epig being a grammar Nazi, even though it is annoying. :P

Not sure I'll do that though. However, I will have to vote either tonight or tomorrow morning before work, as I won't be back in time.

Death to Nazis, lol~ grammar or otherwise :)

But srsly GNs are annoying, but not necessarily bad. Also if the host is irked with him, he is less likely to be irked with someone else, like me.

I will not vote for a low poster, or for myself, but I would consider a vote for someone who intentionally does not vote, or who self votes.

Grammar is the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit.

It's important, and all of you are grammar people when it comes to Mafia. So don't pretend to be above it.

To avoid criticism for grammer and spelling, and therefore possible lynching, I am considering trying to express myself only with smileys.

Sigh. That's probably me.. I'm just really busy lately!

I'll be extremely overly free in a couple of days when my family goes to Texas for a week;
I'm sure you'll get tired of me posting then!

I'm not really sure what I should be saying though.
I never really know what to do or think until after someone's been lynched -
how people vote on things with no obvious outcome, and how they talk on day 0
just doesn't seem to have much to do with their alignment :-\

You can lynch me if you want though.
I'll probably try to get myself lynched in a few days anyway :-P

I am voting tonight, not sure if I will have time before work, and I will be at work when the poll closes.

I don't know, both someone else (maybe MP?) and I made jokes about grammar nazi-ism, and tried to turn the talk to voting discussion, and Epig jumped in to bring the talk back to grammar. The combo of deflecting from real discussion with the grammar talk, plus making the people who are actually trying to discuss voting feel dumb for making spelling/punctuation/grammar errors (and topped with that condescending ;) face, lol) is actually going to earn Epignosis a vote from me.

He may be bad, he may not be, it's Day One. But I had to christen Llamas first game with a vote based on my un-favorite thing, discussion squelching~ and I think Epi's doing it :haha:

Who loves ya, Llama?

*Votes Epignosis*

Ha ha I used a smiley as punctuation, and started a sentence with "but" tee hee~

Go reread Dex~ whenever someone brought up actual voting and game related talk, he started making fun of their grammar. As the typo queen, and an anti-punctuationist, i felt squelched~

Like i said, could be wrong. But it's all I got, it's better than random, and I gotta do some stuff before bed~

No. He fixes things as they are reported to him. That shows me that he cares about his wording. If he cares that much about his wording, then it shows me that he cares even more about his game. And that work makes me a happier player.

Well, nothing has struck me as suspicious at all. I suppose I could overanalyze Epig's behavior as S~V~S did, seeing it as squashing discussion, or likewise I could overanalyze her vote, etc. etc.

But I'm tired of that and I want to continue improving and shifting up my mafia game style. As a result, I'm going to do something new for lack of anything better. I'm going to vote for the player with the most posts in the thread.

I actually had to check to make sure this wasn't me. Lol.
