Well even if we wait for them they won't have much to say... We should probably get a pseudo-figure-out-what underway and they'll either join in or refute it as they show. Otherwise they'll just come on say "I am now caught up" and not have much to offer. Of course we can take it nice and slow with 24 hours left until day.



Well, I am caught up now, and don't have much to offer, because I only see a bunch of crap. Not even interesting spam, mind you.

So do you suggest we look at one of the existing people with 2 votes as possibilities, or start poring over other people's posts looking for clues?


Both

Well I'm down to look some stuff over, but I'm also perfectly fine just making an example out of a spammer.

Well, that's me all caught up. Too much spam, really, but there was one post that caught my eye:

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.


FYI here's his 'question' to you...

And yes, I agree he could easily be playing with the wine.

My problem with his play is this: sure, as a town player one is more comfortable sticking the neck out, but why take the risk? After all there is a chance you end up on the day 1 train playing like this. No, I think it's more likely a non-town player would take the chance/risk playing like this, because he probably feel he has to do something.
I agree it's wifom, but it's my two cents.


Which sounds like Barghast is trying quite desperately to make Serc seem like scum. Suspicious in my book, because he's really trying to force an opinion from nothing - if anything, it's more of a Town strategy to try and provoke some reactions like that.

Didn't really catch much else of note.

Yeah, I really don't want to waste time looking through day1 posts when there's two perfectly good annoying spammers that can be argued for instead. So:

Serc: Annoying RP spam early and for a long time. Overdoing it to the extent of frequently double-posting just to read his own text.

Shadow: Basically trolling, trying to piss us off with goodkind praise and annoying spam.

Personally I'd prefer to lynch Shadow since he seems to be trying so hard to annoy us. Serc was annoying too, but his was at least RP, not trolling.

What?!?!?!
Praising Terry Awesomekind is far from trolling, my friend.

Fener has 4 posts each one a one-liner, kind of like he's lurking the conversation but doesn't want to add much. Probably nothing, but I thought I'd point it out.

Not exactly much in the way of discussion, I'm afraid. But I'm open to ideas, provided they don't involve lynching me :D

Hmm, maybe I should have dropped a vote to stimulate some discussion. OK, let's try that.

Vote Barghast

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.

Fener's definitely not putting in his A-game, but that being said, it is day 1 and with Barghast and Serc going after each other the way they were, there's not to do but throw random comments in, else you get sucked into the argument. I don't think this is a problem just yet, but keep an eye on this one and if he hasn't brought anything better to the table later on it will be a good case against him.


Well, with D'riss putting his money where his fingers are, we have three major candidates on the block: Serc, Shadow and Barghast. D'riss' argument on Barghast is actually made of logic, but its tenuous at best. For now, my annoyance at Shadow overpowers the logical argument against Barghast, but if you can bolster that argument D'riss, you could sway me and more.

Looks like everyone's gone off to bed, which I should be doing too. Sorry Rashan, no scintillating conversation for you. Though there is a 3rd anonymous on...

Apart from that, most of the other stuff he has said was spam...this was the only other vaguely interesting thing he said, IMO:

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. :D :D :D

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.

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?


I've never thought RPing was a particularly scummy tactic, so that statement strikes me as odd. But then, he's not the only one to have voiced displeasure at Serc's bloodthirsty ways.

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

Yeah, a few people were annoyed by Serc, but Barghast took it into a argument, whereas everyone else just voiced their displeasure and let it lie. Personally I think Serc's RPing is neither indicative of innocence nor of scum, but rather just an indicator of what kind of mafia player he is (or what specific mafia player he is), and frankly he was looking to get some people angry, and Barghast neatly fell into his snare...

That Barghast would try to keep pushing to make a big deal out of it is, perhaps odd, but like with Serc's RPing, it can be taken to just indicate that Barghast is an untempered person, not that he's acting a certain way because of his role.

There is that, and Serc was perhaps taking it beyond a reasonable level, double-posting himself and such...

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...
