The Syndicate

I dunno~ I think Mr D was avoiding me on purpose in that chat room lololol

I had a feel for who Mr D may have been~ I hope he reveals.

And predictable baddies are predictable, lol.

Congrats winners

In a total aside, one thing i will never ever do is fake arguing and distancing in the thread, and anyone who has ever had BTS with me knows it. I think that is always a bad idea, and it always looks fake.

Good Question. Epi~

I am though

Voting Hedgeowl

linki~ she is saying that she can see Lizzy vote, yet she also is suspicious of it, and indeed wound up voting for it. She set herself up to teeter either way, me or Lizzy, depending how the wind blew. That is how it reads to me at least. Her vote for lizzy makes me suspect lizzy a bit more, tbh.

Reading back Lizzy seems kinda scapegoatish to me. Like people are piling on her for a variety of nefarious reason, none of which is that shes bad. I would prefer not to vote for her. Unless I have no choice, I will likely vote Hedgie~ she seems to be playing both sides of the fence.

Linki, well, you seem to be playing both sides of the fence ha ha ha

Like who, Mongoose? Can you name names, please? More helpful that way

Lol, looks like you do too lizzy & hedge, perhaps?

Since only 5 votes are cast, i am gonna wait a bit if i need to save.

Catch up a bit in the meantime

Whether or not we have done this before or not, does that mean you find both of our arguments dismissable?

yay no death.

And after recent experiences, I will vote for anyone pushing low posters, especially the first few days, not just llama. I just think they're bad, bad, bad.

And yay for Russti presenting We don't always agree, but he always has strong analysis

Going with "D" for Mr D~

thellama73 wrote:There is a difference between a low poster and someone who has not even checked in. I have no patience for people who refuse to play at all, and I want them voted out. Always. Since I can't know their alignment on Day 1 (I dispute the notion that goodies are more likely to be inactive than baddies) I would rather get rid of someone who is not playing than someone who is. On a case like today, I felt that everyone has an equal chance of being bad, so why not go for someone who doesn't show respect for the game or the host?

As someone who has hosted extensively, i can tell you that civvies can often tend to be more quiet than baddies at the start of a game. later on maybe not so much, but at the beginning, yes. Quite often the first few posters are baddies, becasue they have been talking and hatching plots and are all excited~ not always, but often. The civvies, not so much. So dispute if you like, but it is true. And

On a case like today, I felt that everyone has an equal chance of being bad

Explain how this works with 3 baddies and 6-9 civvies (last three listed before the baddies, not totally sure about them~ they are listed under "Respectable" without a different heading, but are in a different color, so )? How is it with 2 or 3 to one odds of a A Person (or a person) being a civvie, everyone has an equal chance?

People disrespect hosts in many ways, and pissing on their beloved roles by not playing is one of them. But it is the hosts job to deal with them, and it is the baddies job to kill civvies. So killing civvies while saying you are doing the host a favor will never seem like a good policy to me, or a civvie policy, since the people who are actually benefitting from this situation is the baddies. Yay for them! One civ down, and one less night kill to waste on a non threatening low poster

Net result = dead civvie and the poor abused hosts beloved role is still dead. Not saying this makes YOU a baddie. But on day one, voting for you based on this is better than random, right?

Also, as for randomizing. Not a fan of it, for the most part. I think it is at its most useful when randomizing between a pool of suspects. I would rather people vote on the smallest ping than random, but, BUT at least randomizers admit they got nothing.

I have no patience with people who want to lynch people for reason unrelated to whether or not they are civs

MovingPictures07 wrote:Also, Hedge, what's your favorite smiley? I'm sorry I've been so behind on stuff like that. I uploaded a few the other day and was going to have S~V~S add them for me. I need to just go through and add a bunch more as well.

Oh crap, i forgot that. I will get on it within the next day~!

And RIP A Person

And MP, I have clearly said this repeatedly in many other games, i think voting people for low posting on Day One (especially when the person they vote for is a low poster habitually) is very often a baddie ploy. They get to lynch a civvie, and they get to say "Oh well, but he wasn't posting". Win/win for the baddies. And i don't think this just about llama, i think it about everyone

this is not at all the same for voting Llama for always voting low posters, becasue i think voting for low posters on day one is a baddie tell. Llama does not claim this to be the case.

I meant either he is good or he is not. So yeah, 50/50 would not be correct. I was just speaking to his point that he does it all the time~ civ or bad. So either he is civ or bad~ one or the other, 50/50. I should have been clearer there.

My Bad.

And can we outlaw " " ? I ALWAYS read that as condescending, and tend to react to that one smiley rather than the post as a whole

Even though I've done it in every single game I've ever been in?

So? That does not make you a civ, it gives me a statistical 50/50 shot at being correct, which is better odds than wanting to vote for someone quiet on Day One, someone who is generally always quiet.

Certain people are ALWAYS quiet, and that may be against your Mafia philosophy, but numerically they are more likely to be civs. And lynching civs is against MY Mafia philosophy. If they are quiet civs, let the Mafia take them out, why do their dirty work for them?

I went with my gut and voted Llama. I view wanting to vote out ultra quiet people, especially so early, as a baddie ploy.

Yes, I was thinking the same but I don't have any pings or niggles.

right now I'm inclined to vote for Russ, since it annoys me when people sign up and then don't play, but that's only if I have nothing else to go on before vote o'clock.

Right now I am inclined to vote for you since my experience tells me that some people are quieter when civ, and a quiet civ is better than a dead civ.

24/24 works for me.

While i am not the biggest Stones fan, this song is one of my favorite songs. Death is like that; the world is so complacent, but for the person involved, it is everything. This song captures that feeling better than any I am aware of.

kk We are waiting for Teeth to seal his choice for Wire in the poll (unless someone else picks it first) and we are just waitin` on some friends. Sockinureye and Russti. Soon as they check in we will be moving to Day 1.

What if they don't show up? Can we make them beasts of burden?

Took the letter. Who needs food?
