I noticed the Rashan's extreme interest in recruiting myself, glad to see I'm not imagining things.

[Tellan]

Just realized I'm naked. Sorting that out.

Hail Steve!

[Ruse]

What's up my bitches. guess I'll go start reading the thread and catch up.

[Tellan]

People seem quick to hop on the bandwagon with Rashan.

It's possible I suppose, but seems just like setting RP to me...

OH SNAP

My Lord,

I humbly beg your forgiveness for voicing these words. But as our most important member of the court and the one with the greatest interest in keeping the status quo wouldn't it behove you to take this threat to your kingdom more seriously?

OH SNAP doesn't give us a stirring conviction that you are serious about finding the threats to your power my lord.

I am sorry minister, but as it is day one, and it has only been a few hours, I wish to engage in the normal day one festivities before we become serious. I assure you, I have the most to lose regarding this problem, and so I will try to be serious now. Rashan seems to be the only case with any merit. I believe I will have to
Vote Rashan.
I know this is early, but we need to make something happen. Also, I dont think behove is a word

I humbly beg forgiveness from distracting our lord from his early day 1 festvities. And of course my lord is correct. behove is not a word. As I am a poor struggling minister who's artwork languishes in my possesion unable to find any buyers it has become more and more apparent my own inadequecies with this poor language we communicate in seem to be the root of my failings. I request punishment for my multiple transgressions.

Repentance is enough. I thank you for reminding me of my duties as emperor.

Rashan has my interest as well. I agree its interesting how he's already talking of bribes as well.

Another one is Karosis. He's throwing out votes left and right looking for something to stick.

I can't really see anything in his posts that I would describe as properly discussing mechanics though.

I highly doubt my fellow Ministers would be so ignorant as all previous posters seem. Too many to vote now, I will sulk in my own despair.

What manner of recruiter will attempt to bribe us, I wonder. Certainly nothing civil so far.

I, for one, consider it interesting that there may be more than one lowly briber. A single entity taking advantage of our temporary lack of funds does not surprise me, but multiple? Perhaps we will be able to play them against each other.

To clarify the underlined, I was implying that if one of the "scum" had posted on thread, they were likely uncivilized, judging from the posts before that in the thread, I only considered Barghast anything above barbarian (ironically). That was RP.

The beginning of the first quote and the second quote are not RP. They were attempts to begin discussion on what we would be facing. No one took me up on the offer of discussion, and no one responded to me. So I took my leave, guessing at the need for more uncivilized conversation before the serious discussion could begin. No harm done, or so I thought.

The "he who smelt it dealt it " rule (crude, by the way) does not apply here, as I was attempting to discuss the scum faction(s) overall, not any specific role. The specific rule is actually that whomever talks of a >role< first tends to be that role. It is, of course, not always true, but scum often use it to target roled players, and it is again widely used in faction games. In a game where there appears to be only 1 role for scum (maybe a symp, do you think?) discussing the the opposing factions without bringing up their role would be impossible, I'm afraid.

I might linger for a few hours, maybe something interesting will come of this conversation. I stand by my current vote, Fener has betrayed us many times in the past, best to rid ourselves of him now.

It still seems odd to me. I am unsure I would characterise Rashan's behaviour as "role specualtion". He certianly seems willing to engage in such speculatoin. His attempts to date, however, seem to be more of an invitation to engage in such disussion, rather than providing any actual speculations.
It certainly merits attention, but I would refrain from hasty actions at this time.

[Barghast]

and I see that my cross-post with the acused Rashan renders my above post needless.

Ah, I appreciate your levelheadedness, Barghast.

I think I will go for a nice walk.

Where's my palanquin?

[Olar Ethil]

I've also been getting a certain vibe from Rashan, from almost their first post, there is just a scummy feeling to him. As far as discussing mechanics goes though it doesn't seem overly involved though, still, i'll defintly be paying attention there.

underlined made me chuckle/

Hard to lynch a low profiler on day one as its diffucult to determine who hasn't checked in/ the game started at a weird hour for them, between those laying low.

Ah, but there's a difference between people who are not posting much and people who are laying low. I mean, you're not going to lynch someone who has said nothing, but someone who posts but is non-committal...those you can go after.

What Karosis said here also made me uneasy. Going for someone who seems non-committal, not someone who hasn't posted but someone who is not making waves? It is day one. Day one generally does not see very many strong cases and it can be understandable then why people are non-committal, many are even though they vote a certain player on day one. I'm not saying non-commital players do not warrant attention but I think that they become more apparent and more likely to be scum or role later in the game. On day one it can be a combination of not much to comment on, weak cases and time constraints. I think going after that on day one makes it just as likely to hit town.

[Karosis]

Interesting stuff on Rashan. I personally don't find early role spec to be all that much of a scum tell, but worth bearing in mind.

The one who caught my attention was actually Kalse. His first post felt like he was trying too hard:

Kalse, on 13 March 2012 - 04:37 PM, said:

And So I arrive to a scene of poetry, innuendos and poorly executed Haikus. How far our mighty court has fallen. How do we expect to make any money with such drivel. Calligraphy is where it's at. Left handed Calligraphy is all the rage these days! So I give to you my gift. The most excellent calligraphy in the land. All for the glory of the empire!

He starts off with an off-the-cuff summary, which always triggers my warning flags, and then he proceeds to try and continue the RP, but in a manner that feels forced. It's almost as if he was saying to himself: "I must blend in with the other RPers!" as he typed it.
