agentcarr16: Sorry, point taken. I should have said, "vote for RWarehall without STATED reason..."
Better?
Krypsyn: Yes.
Good
Krypsyn: Nope. I'll be more precise, since that is probably where the fault lay. Sage103082 correctly guessed a significant reason for my vote on RWarehall. It may or may not have been the primary of my reasons.
OK. I see what you mean now.
bler144: It's 4/14 (28.57). It's made up in the sense that I don't know if there are really 4 anti-town or not, though I tend to think it's in that ballpark.
Ahhh... I should have seen that. Thank you.
bler144: The most amusing 'unbalanced' scenario would be no mafia at all,
That would actually be pretty amusing, and probably pretty difficult.
bler144: I really had no meaningful reason to vote for Sage,
Again, thank you. I understand what you were doing now.
agentcarr16: Again, Bookwyrm is providing us with textbook examples of WIFOM. I really don't much like how much of this he uses. It's definitely not advantageous for townsfolk to chase their tails, while scum love it when the villagers can't think their way out of a circle.
Bookwyrm627: The obvious answer, then, is to think your way out of the circle. You can choose to (A) believe me, (B) disbelieve me, or (C) Provisionally select A or B while waiting for more information.
You do have a point there. Actually, come to think of it, you have a really good point there.
Problem is that there's a circle in the first place. While you are telling the villagers to think their way out of the circle, I would prefer not to have created a circle in the first place. However, each to his own, and now that I understand your reasoning, (at least, I think I do) I can leave it alone.
agentcarr16: Here we have Bookwyrm actually stating what he has gathered from his little tricks and traps. He has some kind of reaction from 6 of 14 players, the emotion of which he can only paint broad strokes. I acquiesce, these reactions may be important some day, but I feel like the confusion, WIFOM, scumminess, etc. aren't worth the data.
Bookwyrm627: You think one townie risking his life to draw information from half of town isn't worthwhile? When I die, and with my behavior I fully expect the question is "when", I think my actions will serve my side.
Yes. But I don't think you're getting any information, besides vague reactions that could or could not have any relevance on the reactionary's faction.
Bookwyrm627: Final note: I'll be more serious about my voting point forward. As a last hurrah, I'll remove my vote on yogsloth when someone can identify the player that triggered my vote on him.
I'm glad that you're going to be more serious...wait. Have you changed your mind between the period and the capital A? If you have a good reason for your vote to be on yogsloth, then why would you remove it for some trivia? If you don't have a good reason for your vote on yogsloth, then why wouldn't you take it off, without waiting for trivia?
To be clear, I'm actually amused when people make crazy votes. I do sometimes feel that this game takes itself a little too seriously. But, if you state that you are going to be serious, do it.
Sage103082: Stuff -Yet he only calls out Wyrm and not bler
I actually kind of understand him calling out only Bookwyrm. He does say that bler is only guilty to a lesser extent, and it would be a bit awkward to call both of them. If I was in his position, I would assume that bler is reading closely enough that he will also get the idea.
CSPVG: Before anyone says so, yes I did share my PM info, but as I said (or believe I said, I haven't gone back to check, nor do I remember) I did it more out of boredom and a belief that my PM's flavour really isn't that vital to anyone. Perhaps scum can use it to structure a claim, but I don't what a shared contains all that they need.
Sage103082: He shared his pm out of boredom now and not to help us gather information. Why the sudden change in reasoning?
CSPVG: More out of sheer boredom with all the current conversation than anything else.
...
Is that useful information? I don't really think so, but I've decided to share it in hopes that maybe it echoes something in your own,or another player's, PM (perhaps about the direction the town was headed in) that you didn't share or didn't care to allude to.
When first sharing his PM, CSPVG did say that he was sharing it out of "sheer boredom". He is being consistent, from what I can see.
Also, could someone post a link to the rules pages? Disclaimer: I HAVE read them. I just want to go over them again, and I can't seem to find a link in the game thread.
