And thanks for backing me up Ano, I thought I was starting to imagine things. Maybe Atrahal hails back to ancient times when there was complete lawlessness and I joined the "kinder/gentler" mafia, but I always thought fibbing about RL was bad form.

Atrahal's been around for a while, game...13, iirc. Not so old as to be grumpy over the way things have gone, tho.

Well, at any rate. In terms of the game, I have now died twice, so you can either decide to finish me off, or push me off as a non-threat for the moment.

Vote Tulas Shorn

because he started the whole "Sorrit's not here so lets lynch him".

OMGUS.

I figured you might have. And I honestly don't know what to do. You're still as much of a threat as anybody in this game, what with the power to damage and a vote, but at the same time your chances of winning have drastically been reduced...it's whether that perceived loss of threat level will carry you through until more people are at your level that is the problem, I gues.

I don't, however, agree with your reasons for voting (not even the logic of it, let alone the OMGUS aspect...though that constitutes most of the logic XD)...there still isn't a lot of grounds on which to lynch people, imo. After all, it's hardly a changed situation today from yesterday, except that you're down lives, and presumably several people are down HP, if not everyone. This is the problem with FFA games, I guess. *sigh*

[Okaros]

Teamsay please... oh, hell its' free-for-all, I've got to read every crap that comes up on my screen - and it looks like another usual game full of cheaters, hackers, aimbotters, abusers, and general trashtalkers.
Only day one, and people are already forming 'cliques' and gang up on people? Hot hell, this is last man standing and you trust that mofo will assist you all the way here?

And from the looks of it, there are way too many miniguns and medics.

[Atrahal]

Also, where the hell are half the players? Five players under 10 posts each by partway through day two?

Fener: 9
Kessobahn: 8
Hood's Path: 7
Okaros: 5
Olar Ethil: 2

Less posts than Hoosier has from his jaunt in-thread before the game started! I hate to push the low-poster bandwagon, but when I'm the highest poster in a game you *know* something ain't right, guys. Heck, Tulas may not be the nicest player on the block, but the lynch on Sorrit was for all the right reasons in preventing lurking and encouraging talk.

For now, I'm going to pick out Kessobahn, because he isn't quite at the bottom of the pile, but is pretty low. Add that to the fact that he himself made some calls for more posting, and that most of his posts come from a back-and-forth mini-spam with me...he's kind of coasting and useless.

Nice to see Okaros is now on.

*and it's Day Two now, Okaros...

There, fake archaic speech fixed. And Atrahal is clearly pretending to be civilized where they aren't.
And since I have no shame, I am more than willing to admit that Fener is in fact, whoring out their flesh. Hmm, bacon.....

Alternatively, I was reducing the quality of my speech so that the lesser dragons on the forum could understand me, good sir.

You were talking to a boar

*boar-pig-thing.

That being said, I was talking *at* the boar, and making the language accessible to those of sufficient faculties to understand what I was saying without lowering myself to the boar-thing's standars.

Oh-Kayyyh.

Here you can see our back-and-forth, and several of Kesso's posts.

It is not raining where I live

Nor is it here, but I found the floor of my living room was fucking flooded when I came home, and I still don't know where it came from. As such, I'll be a low poster for today until I found out.

Perhaps an explanation for his absence...but his posts above came after this.

Kessobahn, on 03 August 2010 - 11:59 AM, said:

This is much better. Now talk to me, someone, dammit.

His call for more talking. Early on, but then he hardly lives up to it...

Is it?

More response to me, much earlier on. Spam, ofc.

Kessobahn, on 03 August 2010 - 05:57 AM, said:

Booo! at several people.

And a sentiment I'm sure we can all appreciate.

The last four were practically on top of each other - three of them coming in a triple post.


So, we can see the sum total of Kesso's contribution to the game. Nothing condemning, nothing we haven't all engaged in a bit...but really, it's a pittance, and rather annoying all things considered. I'll drop a vote for now, but I hope Kesso comes back soon...

Vote Kessobahn

[Atrahal]

Well, that's lovely, Okaros. Turn up for 30 seconds then go. And look, I'm all alone, again!

Vote Sorrit.

Because we have no way to check if you did die that second time. You could have two lives left and claim a second death, hoping to ride it out, by the claim you made.

And here I am, because when I am at work, I can post and can't spend mopping the floor at home.
Too bad that at work, I sometimes have to ....errm... whatdayacallit.... oh, yes.... work.

Anyway, it turns out my washing machine is leaking and since the floor is uneven, it seeps over the tiles into the living room.

Now, you may say I have been coasting, but boohoo, look who's talking too. I haven't seen you do a whole lot either despite your post count, cause half of it was filler replies to me and Fener, and though I realize I am at the lower end of postings (see below):

Posts:


PS 43
Atrahal 30
TS 24
Ano 15
SR 13
Galain 13
Sorrit 13
Moi 9 (not counting this one)
Fener 9
HP 7
Okaros 6
HD 3
OE 2

But at the least I gave a reason for low posting, and with this one and a few others, which I will undoubtedly get during a 9 hour work day, and if can fill them with content, I'll be contributing as much as all but the top 3 of the posting list, so good sir Atrahal, I call thy vote unwarranted and done for shitty reasons.

Kill 'em all and no-one will be able to pick those classes again, or try and pick the last one of them if you die, get the advantage that way.
As an aside, they are probably the most durable classes (together with the Engineer) as they can self-heal, so when a gazillion guns go blazing, they add durability. I guess when the pack's thinned, we'll see more snipers, soldiers and demo-men cause dodging 1 attack is then very much worth it - not so much when you're targeted by 6 guys at once.

I did acknowledge you may have a reason (personally, I was going to suggest either the water heater or the dishwasher, as I've had both leak myself), however that alone wasn't going to let you off a vote. And I don't like it when people low-post, particularly when *most* of their few posts are as contentless as most of my many posts.
As for Okaros, he mentioned as much of a reason as you, iirc, and came back as I was posting. Fener was close enough to being in the mid-range poster group (and isn't that a sad admission) that I decided to leave him be, and Olar is...so absent, I think we're going to *have* to lynch him eventually. Three times. XD
And HP...well, once again, he remains an option. Suffice it to say, the more you post, and the more you post content, the more likely I am to turn my vote elsewhere, for reasons shitty and unwarrented or otherwise, dearest Kesso.

And RL gets you out of not posting. Which could get you out of a lynch or away from the limelight if that's why you've got attention.

Seeing how you voted me when I named a reason for my absence and spent the past two evenings + yesterday afternoon trying to find where all the fucking water came from, it doesn't, either .

That being said, sometimes RL interferes, sometimes it don't, and I have no qualms about people using RL as an argument, whether true or not, nor have I any qualms about lynching people who claim RL when there seem to be good reasons to lynch them or they fail to explain their absence.
But then, I've seen dibs and his claim of 'believe nothing you read on thread, everyone lies, about everything' when I was still green and impressionable.

What I do have a problem with is holier-than-thou people claiming RL can be a valid explanation and should be taken into account.... and then immediately going against it, almost literally three posts below their grand statement, when I gave an explanation.

So all in all, while I do believe RL is the only valid reason to explain absence (because lurking is a strategy), I also believe if you want to be seen as defining the whats and whens of a code of honor for mafia, then don't go immediately against it, there's nothing you can do that will damage your own credibility more than that.

Interesting admission, Atrahal. If I read your words correctly, you actually admit there that the gap in quality, content rich posts between you and me is far, far smaller than the actual difference in quantity.

[Atrahal]

It's true. Particularly in this game where, to be quite honest, hardly anyone has posted quality and there is little to post *about* due to the nature of the game.

The thing is, the less you post the less likely you are to have posted a quantity of quality, ergo, in all my posts there's likely to be a bit more of quality than in all of yours. *shrug*

What? You're voting Kessobahn.

He's voting me.

So I say "oh, atrahal actually is super smart since he's voting for the person voting for me"
