Bookwyrm627: but I plan to repeatedly break the expectation of "townies always refer to themselves as part of town".
JMich: There's such an expectation? Since when?
I don't know how long it has been going on (you've been playing longer than me), but Trent already provided
an example of it in this game. Last game, Adalia got jumped on for something similar (I don't remember who did the jumping). I seem to recall it happened in the game before that, and possibly even the game before that.
flubbucket: I received an early 4th of July present for my job....they are closing our facility.
I'm sorry to hear that. Has everyone been laid off, or is it possible they (and you) can be transferred to another facility?
flubbucket: Post #138- Bookwyrm "...more than a scum or neutral might exclude themselves (sic) from town..." Whut???
There is scum, neutral, town.....unless you are a mysterious fourth party.
I'm totally not a fourth party. I'm definitely town.
dedoporno: Wyrm is the more interesting party of the two. It's obvious he has something in the works but I can't measure how deep it is and what the actual plan might be out of the obvious.
O =)
agentcarr16: Here is the mod's first post in-game, at post #100. I find it suspicious the number of people that have made no positive contributions in the first hundred posts.
I'm not that surprised. A number of people prefer to wait for something to happen instead of participating much in RVS (JMich and Krypsyn jump to mind). Naturally, the more people that do that, the longer RVS tends to drag. Some people (yog, me) try to do something to end it, but what we've chosen so far mostly ends up looking scummy.
RWarehall: And saying you are not "technically lying" with your statements, doesn't really help, because you aren't being entirely truthful either.
Note: While I am responding to this entire post, I only left the part where I plan to ask a question. I snipped the rest for length.
I think I've said that any reactions to my behavior today aren't indicative in and of themselves. Maybe something will come of it, maybe not. Either way, I think the reactions to my behavior will (eventually) be more useful, gamewise, than reactions to people's butterfly preferences. I want to take the "R" out of "RVS".
The particular flavor of various reactions is simply to be noted. Cristigale seems to be mostly amused, you seem to be confused, yogsloth and trent both think I'm being audacious scum, while Krypsyn and Dedo both seem to be watching to see what happens (with Dedo even encouraging me some), and some other players have had no apparent reaction (skipping those, like Flub, that have much more pressing life concerns). Lacking other data points, every single one of these reactions are valid. In later days, however, something may come up where one of these reactions becomes more telling about a player being town or scum.
If you honestly think I'm scum that has slipped, then you should probably vote for me.
My question for you, RW: What am I not being truthful about?
agentcarr16: That's standard flavour. Alright, I'll take your word for it, but this is where my inexperience really shows. I can't tell if Vitek is just spouting normal phrases or if he's leaving clues and surprises.
I agree that "destroy threats to town" is pretty standard flavor (using various synonyms for "destroy"). It is some other parts of what Vitek has said that makes me wonder how much deviance we're going to experience. If I remember, I'll try to go into this more tomorrow.
CSPVG: So, Bookwyrm, would you care to contribute past your 'slips? I see them as little more than you baiting people, and while this can be helpful and interesting, I think you're going about it in such a transparent and silly way that it's not really helpful.
Would you care to perhaps give us a list of the players you find most scummy, or something along those lines? Honestly, you're so far off your usual play style that I am inclined to vote for you, and would were it not for the fact that I feel that this is exactly what you would want. Really, I do find all this WIFOM rather tedious.
I've got plans for this afternoon that involve leaving in about 45 minutes and being out most of the rest of the day. I'll try to provide more "real content" tomorrow. In the meantime, why don't you provide something similar to what you asked for?
Vitek: You know, I actually read this thread.
I know it is surprising but I have nothing else to do.
Vote counts and mod PM-ing is habit forming?
As stated, I'll probably be gone for most of the rest of the afternoon (EST). I'll be with family, and then maybe I'll go watch some explosions that are set off to commerate the day our country thumbed our collective noses at the mother country.
