Well I have always found that RP is basically spam with a different name and that scum spam to gain higher post counts and seem less suspicious

I guess, but people get annoyed at spammers, who as a result tend to be removed fairly early. Fairly low percentage strategy to go with, IMO, especially RP as provocative as what Serc has been putting out.

True, but if he can manage to spamalot and still avoid getting lynched in the first couple days (which isn't too hard with so many people someone is bound to screw up), then he can fade away and not show up much while still having a high enough post count not to be on the bottom of the list and get noticed that way. A risky strategy, but you never know what someone else will think is a good idea at the time...

Thats meta reasoning IMO. a good strategy, but since you announced it, less likely to happen. And now that I sid that, its more likely. lol. G'night

It's a possibility I suppose.

Anyhow, I've got to be up early tomorrow, so I'm off to bed. Night all!

Looking at Shadow's posts first.

Shadow, on Apr 16 2009, 05:25 PM, said:

...And i missed the start by a good deal.
Not the best way to begin my attempt to compensate for our favorite spammers, eh?
After i get some more time, i'll put 100% effort into this game and my intended goal; unfortunately, i won't have as much time as i'd like.
p.s. Rp'ing is silly. Christ, can't we have a legit fucking game? Hoes.

He got back and spammed for a bit, then

Shadow, on Apr 16 2009, 07:23 PM, said:

I'm fairly sure Serc is just being an RP-heavy douche atm...he'll get bored eventually.

Followed by an immediate vote for Serc, which was his first vote action of any kind. (He also previously mentions Serc is just being retarded, which is hard to disagree with.)
He calms down then for a few posts when the Pirampire enters, then begins the rant on Goodkind...

Shadow, on Apr 16 2009, 07:38 PM, said:

Telas, on Apr 16 2009, 07:37 PM, said:

Back. Serc seems to have mostly stopped his Rping, with the ocasional giberish thrown in for personalities sake. However, I suggest he stop completely. And who invited Black Yeard the vampirate to this, ffs!

Black Yeard? TG? Goodkind's the fucking shit, ok?

He also curiously quotes the Declaration of Independence...

Shadow, on Apr 16 2009, 07:39 PM, said:

Aww sheet. Everyone knows it, okay? We hold these truths to be self-evident, just like the Declaration of Independence.

Then he suddenly jumps on Telas, possibly in jest:

Remove Vote
Vote Shadow

Because being a douche is not worse than being a Badkind lover.

Clearly symping Serc. Clearly.
Remove Vote
Vote Telas

However, note his vote against Telas is basically because of a perceived alliance with Serc, so it's hard to call this anything but a continuation of an anti-Serc train.
He returns to Serc...

Shadow, on Apr 16 2009, 08:07 PM, said:

Also Telas since I've decided you're Serc's symp, it's rather more beneficial for me to push a lynch on Serc himself, your diabolical master.
Remove vote
Vote Serc

Goes silly again for a while (small side for calling Serc a D-bag), then goes super srs against Serc:

Shadow, on Apr 16 2009, 08:43 PM, said:

I think it's time we get serious.
Cause i know i've been fucking around, but we should really get discussion going.
And serc's train is the only real one going on, which ironically is for the same reason any votes are on me (for being an annoying s.o.b.). No, though, i can't vote for myself. Though that'd be pretty stupid imo.
Vampire rp is pretty irritating though imo. Or am i in any position to say anything? lol. Therefore, the logical thing is to vote for me...Except i might be, apparently, a jester.

but day 1 cases are always stupid, an in my own self-interest i am summoning a giant fucking train to bludgeon serc.

More random spam, lots of which includes Zombie Abe Lincoln (more American references)... then another srs Serc post, this one including speech that is highly similar to the Gettysburg Address:

Shadow, on Apr 16 2009, 09:14 PM, said:

Here's my case against Serc, since it seems like "cases" and shit are actually important to perpetuate lynches (hah!):

It's evident, upon extensive review of all digital entries within this forum thread, titled "Mafia 43 Vampire madness", on the Malazan Empire Forums, that my current vote target Serc is guilty of extreme douchebaggery of the first degree, the punishment for which is death by lynch train; his excessive repetition of pretending to be a pretentious vampire has only condemned him further to the Spoiler Heaven; focused concentration, void of all potential and active distractions, is extremely conducive to identifying his large quantities of falsities, hereby dubbed "bullshit", which is the medium through which is scum kind perpetuate their twisted philosophy, in addition to best-selling fantasy novels that no one likes but only solidifies their extraordinary--enviable, in fact--talents of complete and utter bullshit; accordingly, it is deemed self-evident that all posts hitherto made by defendant "Serc" can be summarily and utterly considered condemning evidence of his need to be lynched.

More spam, then mentions being open to discussion but not 10 minutes later, heads to bed:

Shadow, on Apr 16 2009, 10:20 PM, said:

I'd love to do some more discussion, but it's getting rather late over here and I get up at 6 every day...g'night all.

Doing Serc next...

Serc posts first and then drops into some creepy RP:

Serc, on Apr 16 2009, 02:38 PM, said:

I have a date with a Virgin later on tonight and I want to get to her while her blood is still woodsy. If we haven't found the traitors by the end of the week one of the farm lads around her aka her brother will probably have plucked that little cherry.

Then he just RPs for a long string, doing a semi-joking finger-pointing at Meanas:

Serc, on Apr 16 2009, 03:55 PM, said:

Meanas, on Apr 16 2009, 02:50 PM, said:

Greetings kindred, I see there is betrayal in the midst of our clan. Your stories are intruguing, alas it is many decades since I have had such wanderings. Currently I am exploring the one human invention that comes close to sating the hunger - that of the single malt.

Sounds like you are a diciple of the Viking Vampire. Oh the oceans of blood that you two must destroy in your quest to get drunk. Listen we are Vampires. Alcohol doesn't effect us.

Of course, he goes back to being silly and then picks a small fight with Barghast over being a true vampire:

Serc, on Apr 16 2009, 06:28 PM, said:

Barghast, on Apr 16 2009, 05:23 PM, said:

Serc, on Apr 16 2009, 05:23 PM, said:

I put the little temptress to bed for a little while so I am back to further stimulate your minds with tales of debauchery and slaughter.

Some time ago I was wondering around a battlefield in northern Italy. I stumbled upon a soldier who had lost part of his legs in some kind of explosion. Now that is a common occurrence you might say and I would agree with you. However this time the fellow didn't seem to bleed out. I looked at him and realized that he was part lycan. I dragged him into a farm house on the edge of the battle. Imagine my delight when I realized that he had no idea why he wasn't dying right away. I can still hear his screams of terror/pain when I sunk the meat hook into his back and hosted him up. After I ripped his legs all the way off I was able to fully bath in lycan blood. He lasted for 2 full days. I have never felt so clean as I did after I absorbed his blood through my skin.

Sorry, whut?

Are you saying that you have never feasted on the blood of our eternal enemy's the Lycan? Does my story of rejoicing in the bathing of a unknown lycans blood not warm your blood. If this is the case then perhaps we have already found one of the interlopers. As such I shall be happy to dispatch you so that we can get on with our training.

Returns fire on Shadow for the 'retarded' comment...

Serc, on Apr 16 2009, 06:30 PM, said:

Shadow, on Apr 16 2009, 05:24 PM, said:

Serc's clearly just being retarded.

Says the guy who's only contribution is to complain about not understanding what is going on. Do you not know that you are a vampire who is at the castle of one of the greatest hunters of lycan ever. Are you like Barghast not really her to learn the best and fastest ways to both defend yourself against them and to hunt them down like the mangy dogs that they are.

Then Serc starts to look defensive when Telas casts the first vote against him (Serc)

Serc, on Apr 16 2009, 06:36 PM, said:

Telas, on Apr 16 2009, 05:30 PM, said:

Serc, on Apr 16 2009, 06:28 PM, said:

I wonder if this is enforced roleplay. Better pressure him and see if he can willingly stop.

Vote Serc

Yes put pressure on me and defend your partner Barghast. For I am obviously the one who doesn't belong in a house full of vampires. I see that you would rather attempt to kill a vampire who has applied and fought to be here then someone who obviously stumbled in off of the street. Well I have just managed to convince my self of Barghasts guilt.

Vote Barghast

Of course, note the continued focus on Barghast, even after Shadow and Telas try to egg Serc on.

Then he makes a small comment towards the missing Hood's Path, against dissing Barghast, and then when Barghast tries to play it cool, Serc puts his foot down on the early vote.

Serc, on Apr 16 2009, 06:47 PM, said:

Barghast, on Apr 16 2009, 05:43 PM, said:

Serc, on Apr 16 2009, 04:39 PM, said:

Hood's Path were you out learning how to track Lycan? Or are you a bit squeamish like Barghast.

I'm not squeamish, I said you are creepy, which you are. Hey, I like creepy.

Really then are you now trying to claim that you are in fact not a lycan but are a true vampire. If so then you are showing a remarkable lack of attention, and in a castle of future lycan hunters that is a rather dim idea. No I think that you have the potential to be either a lycan or a traitor. So I will be leaving my vote on you for now. If it turns out that you are indeed a vampire then no doubt my lord will be better off with out you involved in the hunt.

When Barghast votes for Serc, the response is natural:

Serc, on Apr 16 2009, 06:56 PM, said:

Barghast, on Apr 16 2009, 05:52 PM, said:

Hey Serc, I'm not all for spraying blood all over the floor, like you are, but I can show my fangs too, if necessary. And frankly I don't like your tone.

vote Serc

For being a pretentious asshole.

Ahhh the little lycan can get up and dance. Well done it certainly is OMGUS or anything.

I have noticed that you still haven't answered my question. Now why is that. Trying to come up with an answer that will be believe able.

Goes back and forth with Barghast, and then makes a silent exit after presumably demonstrating how he is not a D-bag with the quoted picture?

A double douche with cheese on top.

Checking Barghast...

[Silanah]

Barghast has said a lot less than the other two.

He, like me, early on says he wants more info on the theme, but then goes and looks it up. His response is generic:

Barghast, on Apr 16 2009, 05:53 PM, said:

I translate it to: we got some really annoying folks running around, making our lives miserable, unless we stop them. Question is, who do we try to find first?

At which point I suggest the Sabbat, and he agrees.

Gets defensive very quickly against a Telas comment:

Barghast, on Apr 16 2009, 06:23 PM, said:

Telas, on Apr 16 2009, 05:20 PM, said:

Barghast, on Apr 16 2009, 06:16 PM, said:

Telas, you know the story?

R U refing the book? (NO)

Or the spam? (YES)

They are seperate. The spam is about ment being in the contest and Grief liking men. The other stuff about the actual RPing Serc was doing, might have been book, but seemed random and was probably just rp spam.

Hold your horses, I am just curious if you know anything worthwhile.

Offers some simple comments for a bit and then after getting voted, doesn't seem to be bothered:

Barghast, on Apr 16 2009, 06:39 PM, said:

Wait...what? What am I guilty of exactly?


Edit: X-post!

After a bit of back-and-forth, he gets annoyed with Serc:

Barghast, on Apr 16 2009, 06:52 PM, said:

Hey Serc, I'm not all for spraying blood all over the floor, like you are, but I can show my fangs too, if necessary. And frankly I don't like your tone.

vote Serc

For being a pretentious asshole.

Reason why he voted...

I haven't noticed any questions. Your vote is way more omgus than mine, by the way.

Your RP is making me suspicious. What's your play here?

And then basically fades away after a few more mini-posts...

[Silanah]

Hrm... not sure. Any thoughts from any lurkers? I'll be back in a few.

[Path-Shaper]

It is night 1, slightly less than 23 hours left.

23 players are still alive: Ampelas, Anomandaris Barghast, D'riss, Emurlahn, Fener, Galain, Gamelon, Hoodès Path, Korlat, Korvalain, Liosan Meanas, Mockra, Omtose, Rashan, Ruse, Serc, Silanah, Shadow, Telas, Tellan, Tennes)

12 votes to lynch.
11votes to go to day.

4 people have voted:

2 votes Serc (Barghast, Shadow)
3 votes Barghast (Serc, Fener, D'riss)
2 votes Shadow (Korvalain, Ampelas)


16 people have not voted: the rest

Checking in. 8 pages of spam already I see, suppose I should start going through it and seeing if there's anything funny or interesting. History suggests neither.

[Tellan]

Silanah, on Apr 16 2009, 08:38 PM, said:

I'm going to go ahead and

Vote Serc

Mostly because the RP spam is annoying ... but also because I wonder what it's hiding. And who he's trying to make noise to cover for. Nothing like having a stalking goat on your team to draw fire - especially if they can last a few days, and force other people into revealing mistakes.

I do have to wonder why so many people are phrasing the mechanics as town vs. scum - this is a proper Cult game - there really is no scum or town as such. That's clear from the opening posts.

[Path-Shaper]

I'm surprised no one commented about this earler, but oh well

it's a well known-truth I can't count

if you subtract HP and Ampelas, who were late arrivals, you get 20 alts.

Liosan was supposed to be there from the start, but i'm an idiot.

-ment, blames chronic lack of sleep

Alright. I'm here now..finally, and slowly catching up. Seems like people don't like Serc, mainly for his RP. And from the above posts, there are about two others that people are looking at?

I went back to my previous count post and recounted up to 22 when you had posted 23 so I believe with the addition of Liosan yes, we are at 23.

[Silanah]

Okay I've re-read my stuff and here's what I think for those that care...

Shadow has the most suspect motives because he ran into Serc like a battering ram.
Serc has the most random play and is getting fingered by a lot of people.
Barghast is playing it the coolest which may be because of the votes on him and not trying to attract attention from the other two.

However, I think the most interesting thing is that all three of them have some kind of interesting interaction with Telas!

Telas opens the voting with Serc for spamming but swaps to Shadow later then basically ducks seriously conversation. He made a quick/goofy comment to Barghast, who got defensive in a hurry so...

I'm actually torn right now between Barghast who seems to be trying the hardest to stay out of sight, or Telas who started a fight and then stepped out of it to let Serc/Shadow duke out first lynch.

I hate to bring this stuff up simply because bringing up a 4th person when it's a race among 3 seems really ugly. Would love some feedback from those in the area...
