Fingerprints don't get you as far as they used to

[Serc]

@ Liospam: I'm not. However, above you, Ruse and Omtose were debating whether he was or not. So I replied. It just seemed ridiculous calling someone scummy already.

And, for their benefit, I give you all of his posts:

Yes, your Avatar is lame ass hell.....(talk to Bubba when he gets on)

Mine on the other hand is the coolest fucking Avatar EVER! just look at that badass strutting with "THE" sword. Even the wisps of darkness look like some cool thinker. I may just change my vote to you Omtose just to remove your lameness from my presence.

The new avatar will stay my sword for the present time.

*phew* I'm on-line again! :Crash: No nets all morning I have read all posts that were not deleted. I say deleted because there is no way that, this all the posts. Under 200 posts for a 12 hour period? Come on people!

But back to the game at hand.

I must say I sense something "fowl" :chicky: with the current lynch train. Now I can understand if you all wanted to lynch me out shear jealousy for the unbridled awesomeness of my avatar.
But lynching for n00b speech on day one is a bit much. I think I will let the time tick some before jumping on some random band wagon.

Come back!!!! I want some one to talk too.

Anomandaris, on Nov 11 2008, 12:49 AM, said:

I think it is way to early for a nonsense train to even get going.

Telas is the only person I would vote for, just for his trying to tell everyone what to do posts. But even that I would wait on. it's early. "Okay, dig out your best booze and let's talk about me". (exra inviso rep to who get's that quote)

Omtose, on Nov 10 2008, 09:33 PM, said:

bah
Telas needs take a chill pill or five.

ffs, we need 12 people to lynch
Gamelon had 3--ooh!
it's day 1, we havent had a good alted day 1 RP/joke session in a while, so I've got no problem with 3 people putting three votes on an uncalled WIFOM pile and calling it a duck

not that i'm gonna contribute to it, mind, unless it's the end of day 1 and we're out of lynch options
but some people need to chillax.

That being said, Anomandaris' "look at me and my fly avatar. now everyine, feel jealous" attitude is getting a bit old. I'd say he's a symp. Gonna keep my eye on him to see if he jumps to defend anyone.

Now now Omtose, I know you tried to make over your image......
(still looks like a 12 year old found the paint shop program)

But some of you can't be me, well all of you can't be me, that would be stupid and that much awesome in one place would turn in to a gravity well and cause a black hole to form right in the middle of this game. But I digress, back to the game at hand.

Ah I know.

I think all you guys need to lay off Brittney I mean Omtose. He hasn't done anything to make anybody think he is scum.

I just think it is silly discussing ppl being scummy when we could be discussing game mechanics, or just enjoying Day One.

Sarcasm will get you nowhere. Lynch someone at the end of Day One and then begin Day Two with the CF info and the night-kill info. Like every single game, actually, Galain.

I disagree. The only way for us to win is to analyze the players as much as we can, put pressure on everyone that makes a blip on the radar and try as best as we can to grasp some kind of insight into the alignment of different players.

As for game mechanics, the little we can know has already been discussed to death. Continuing to focus on that particular equidaean corpse only draws attention away from the information that is valuable to us.

Who's getting lynched if we just discuss mechanics and enjoy the time?

A lynch is 12 votes, that won't happen without at least SOME arguments that the person is somewhat scummy.

So you want us to refrain from pressuring people because no one can be scummy day 1, and then speed lynch someone at the very end expecting that to magically summon rivers of information for us to bathe in?

[Tennes]

Ok I am back and caught up. A whole lot of nothing even for a day one. The cases so far are made up of spam and nobody has done anything really suspicious. Not even Gamelons PI reveal. Of course I don't really expect a game this complex to heat up till day 2 or 3. Right now I don't even have a top 3 suspect list.

That's fair enough, Galain. I just think its foolish leaping into scumy behaviour discussion when no one has been scummy, nor even really had the opportunity to be scummy.

don't twist my words.
Who wants a lynch at the start of Day One, before the timer has run out? Scum do. I didn't say speed lynch, or don't pressure, did I? I said lynch someone at the end. It will probably only be for reasons such as "lowest poster" or "scummy behaviour". Have you ever played a game where we actually lynched scum Day One with a plausible case? The case is not going to make a difference because there will be no real evidence to back it up, so don't play that card.

I just love these posts. There's always a couple of people who jump in to complain, and then depart with a puff of indignation at our lack of willingness to do all the work for them..

[Path-Shaper]

It is day 1, you have 8 hours remaining

There are 22 players remaining. 12 for a lynch, 11 to go to night.

3 votes for Gamelon - fener, galayn lord, shadow
2 votes for rashan - telas, liosan
1 vote for anomandaris - rashan
1 vote for emurlahn - D'riss
1 vote for galayn lord - gamelon
1 vote for fener - galain

Players not to have voted :- Anomandaris, Barghast, Emurlahn, Hood's Path, Korvalain, Meanas, Mockra, Omtose, Ruse, Serc, Shadow, Thyrllan, Rashan, Tellan, Tennes

[Galain]

So far indeed I don't remember lynching scum on day 1. You would think that it would happen statistically, but not yet. Never give up hope, though.


Although if in this game there's a smaller killer team than normal because of the fact we need to deal with a cult (which is nightmare) AND some possessed eventually, then day 1 becomes even tougher and the odds even lower.

But we still have to try a lynch, and if possible because of behavior which is scummyish. Plus, if we keep doing that, players will learn and I dream of the day the scummyish posts from innos (see eg Tennes' last EDIT - assuming he's inno ) will disappear and we'll have ourselves a bunch of sweating killers.

Yup, it's been pretty quiet. Strange considering how may people are playing. Then again, there's a whole bunch of people still with single digit post counts. I hope modkills arent going to be a problem again.

Anyway, there's just over 8 hours left, so there's still quite a bit a time left for cases.

noooo. But we don't accomplish anything of worth if we wait putting pressure on people until the very end. That is what you advocate doing if you do not wish us place votes on people this "early". Who ever said we should lynch at the beginning of the day? You're jumping at invisible bogyemen here.

We have to make best of what we have. We take the information available and we use it to try to find those players who could be evil. We then try to lynch them. If you're not going to participate in that but instead sit on the fence wailing about due process and evidence then you are of absolutely no use to us. There is no such thing as evidence here. There's absolutely no such thing as a waterproof case, and until the very end of the game there's really no such thing as a strong case either. Yet we work with what we have and we use it to hunt down the evil factions.

The reason mainly why there's never an evil lynched day 1 is because there's too many working in his defence. However, that lynch train though derailed at the time becomes very valuable later.

If we dance around with flowers in our hair singing about love and understanding only to jump at some random sod the last minute we gain close to nothing.

By the way, Serc, you forgot the DRUNK-O-POST

Surefoot Stout MGB For the win. goodtimes goodtimes.

shite even fucked up I'm pretty good looking, Galain now you have the lameerest avatar. Oh it was omtose i was a symping, you need to go back and reread that part me thinks. funny though are you phycic? how did you know i was going to feel like reshan. lol the bed is a calling. no votes for me. lets see what the morning looks like.

Let's see, drunks are not good liars. Once we had a drunk Morgoth calling his killer partner "killer" on thread.

Underlined part is interesting. I indeed make a mistake by saying he was symping Rashan, I meant Omtose. Now he says "funny though, are you psychic"?

Hmmmmmmmm

Day one lynches have hit scum on occasion - the asylum game springs to mind. The odds SEEM pretty good this game, but I'd still prefer voting for someone because of something they did, rather than going for a random because time is running out. So far nothing's really come up though

Something that I think will be interesting is the large amount of paired players in this game, scum and inno. I assume all three killers know about each other, as do the two cult and the lovers (if they were included).

[Serc]

Galain, wtf was he trying to say there? Sorry, I had to trawl through the thread to get his posts. Something like 13 out of 260. We really should have the ability to quote from the post list you access from user profiles.
