Vote: Sandslash7


Voting a person for "faking" a posting restriction appears to be an attempt at getting an easy bandwagon going to scorri since it would be easy to push scorri for "lying". This appears to scorri as if Sandslash7 is voting for her for an easy reason and not a valid one.

"Easy bandwagon." I laugh. Responding with an "Oh My Goodness You Suck" vote is not a healthy response to my pressure. My vote is for a valid reason.

Now, Pikamaster posting that all warnings are now private thoroughly destroys any way for your impediment to be confirmed in-game without your death. At this point I have to accept your impediment as truthful.

UNVOTE: SCORRI


...What? No, I was just saying, from experience as a mod, with this many players I would usually strongly consider having two mafia teams. I'll have to double check what I said earlier (if I can be bothered) but what I meant was, a single mafia is likely about 11-12 people, but we might have more mafia than that spread over two teams.

I was looking for data and reasons for why you would expect a moderator to split the anti-town faction into two factions at that number. It would be very easy to haphazardly say something like that to plant an idea into townie's minds, and come back to it later when you are on the block.

I'm interested in the concrete. I too think that that many scum (Diaz will probably push us to assume 15 wolves (33%), given his track record) is very viable and logical, especially given the data presented in the WMAT. However, I'm going to be wary of your experience, as this is the Gym, and not anywhere else that you may have played. The Gym is a bit different. Thus, I'm going to be wary of ideas that you try to plant without in-game evidence.



@Dragon Clyne

I said, nobody should target me at night and so it is upto you if you want to target me, that is all


And we have our first role-claim of the game, and we aren't even halfway through Day 1.

It is clear you are crumbing a retaliation role. The fact that you say "target" means that the role you are crumbing is not an on-death role like Napoleon's from XVI, but an on-target role, which is significantly more powerful. You are attempting to dissuade all roles from targeting you, thus you do not want to be Seered or Priested. And because you are dissuading roles that are beneficial for you to be targeted by, you are clearly crumbing a role that is VERY harmful (probably a retribution-kill role).

Which could easily be a front for a wolf making a gambit early to avoid being seered. Either way it is a courageous move.


I'm inclined to believe you, actually. The correct play when given a role such as that is to make its presence known as swiftly as possible. This does not mean you are by any means cleared. You could just as easily be an independent with a "survival" win condition (possibly even a Serial Killer), or any other alignment.

Scorri will reexplain her reasons for voting Sandslash7. Voting a person for "faking" a posting restriction appears to be an attempt at getting an easy bandwagon going to scorri since it would be easy to push scorri for "lying". In addition, why would the mod confirm or deny scorri's speech restriction since this would be a public confirmation of part of scorri's role pm. That would make no sense and in fact if Sandslash7 had read rule 4a Sandslash7 would have known that all warnings related to speech restrictions are private and thus the mod would have no reason to talk about scorri's speech restriction in the thread. This appears to scorri as if Sandslash7 is voting for her for an easy reason and not a valid one.

scorri would also like to talk about Crimsonsky telling people to not target him at night. scorri sees no problem with this as it is a common practice on Serenes Forest where she usually plays mafia. scorri views it as a protown move because outing that it is a bad idea to target Crimsonsky at night prevents town members from doing so. scorri has no problem with what Crimsonsky did.

scorri also finds StrongRhino suspicious for jumping on a bandwagon with weaker reasons.

Also scorri would like to confirm that she is a girl but will not get upset if she is called a boy by accident.

You need to bold your votes to make them count. With that being said, I don't see Sandslash7 doing anything particularly scummy. I'd like to see Diaz respond to my claim... Until then:

VOTE: DIAZ
 
Not to answer for Diaz, but that's the kind of thing he says all the time. And, to be honest, I agree with him. It doesn't really help the wolves to be more active, because it gives them a chance to slip up if they are as active like a townie or called out if they're less active.
 
Scorri! Don't forget to bold your vote!

In other news, I agree with desufnoc. Wolves do tend to jump on bandwagons.

Also, what players haven't posted yet? We should at least pressure them for reasons why they haven't posted.

StrongRhino and JewelQuest need to explain why they jumped on the Human Destroyer bandwagon. I suspect him to be the wolf that desufnoc mentioned, but I don't have any concrete evidence, and I want to hear him defend himself. Even if you just quote the posts that stood out to you from other players that convinced you to vote for Human Destroyer.

PokemonPlayer101's posts are a whole lot of nothing. I'd like to hear something from you that isn't.

I like Crimsonsky's play quite a bit in the long run. Although, I would have liked to have seen him save it for a day when we are suspicious of him, I don't mind it right off the bat.

As much as I know that what Human Destroyer did was fishy, I think that there have been other players that are doing things that are just as fishy.

In the past WW games on the 'Gym, a player was given a public warning for breaking a speech impediment. This has obviously changed. I also voted for you, but in light of the fact that rule 4a. exists, I retracted my vote just as SS7 has done. You find SS7 scummy because he questioned your speech impediment, which doesn't make much sense in my mind. I also voted for you; does that not make me seem scummy too?

Comments in bold.

Questioning a spontaneous speech impediment does not equal leading a bandwagon.

Ok, I didn't want to double post but the part about StrongRhino and JewelQuest was originally only meant for StrongRhino, and I forgot to change a couple of the He/Him to They. That's why that seems a little off. :/
 
scorri was aware that she needed to bold her vote, she just forgot to and then needed to wait for someone else to post due to not wanting to double post and get modkilled.

Vote: Sandslash7


DragonClyne: scorri found your vote to be odd as well, however Sandslash7 specifically mentioned that the mod had not commented on scorri's posting restriction when a simple read of the rules would have informed Sandslash7 that the mod would not have mentioned it for any reason. scorri would also like to say that she has continued reasons to vote for Sandslash including his response to her vote, his pushing of Tables for what seems to be no reason beyond Tables not providing concrete examples of a theory (Sandslash claims that Tables is trying to misdirect town and is framing what Tables did in a very scummy manner by using words like "plant" and such) and then his reaction to Crimsonsky's claim. Sandslash goes and starts by making it seem like Crimsonsky is doing something wrong by talking about how there is a claim already while the game is barely started when previously players have talked about how claiming early is bad, Sandslash then goes into concrete discussion of the role when the easier and better thing to do would have been to just leave the role claim as it was since that gives less info to the wolves, and then he states that Crimsonsky could be a courageous wolf trying to pull off a gambit. Sandslash then goes and says that Crimsonsky did the right thing and that Sandslash believes the claim after having all that painting what Crimsonsky did in a negative light. scorri was reading that post and expecting Sandslash to disapprove of what Crimsonsky did and was very confused as to why Sandslash suddenly switched. scorri feels like that might have been Sandslash attempting to make Crimsonsky look bad to other people without having to take the blame.
 
Okay, scorri is somewhat faking it, but I don't care so my vote stays on homeofmew. There was a post where she talked normally. However, this could mean scorri got a private warning from his/her posting accident. Like I said before, I don't care about the post restriction and you can't change my mind at this time. My opinion stands on 2 factions in this game.
 
I am going to tentatively vouch for the validity of Scorri's impediment as I have reason to believe it would be a valid role restriction in the theme of the game.

I'd like to hear more from jpulice, JewelQuest, and PokemonPlayer101 today. PP101, your posts have been a bit fluffy but you're trying to be active; I want to see you sit down and think through everything you've seen so you can share some more coherent thoughts with everybody. Thanks~
I agree with this and would like Vablakes to post something substantial as well. Except for his first post in which he asked the silly question which people brand as rolefishing, he's not really said anything that wasn't said before.
To illustrate, his last post:

Scorri! Don't forget to bold your vote!
You need to bold your votes to make them count.

In other news, I agree with desufnoc. Wolves do tend to jump on bandwagons.
Darnyparny you're good, explaining my point before I even post!

Also, what players haven't posted yet? We should at least pressure them for reasons why they haven't posted.
Can't even be bothered to quote all the posts that have said this.

Other than that I haven't really seen specific posts that are very scummy or towny. I just notice a few people that post very little, quantitatively and/or qualitatively.

Sheepbro thinks scorri's speech impediment makes her look cute, to be honest.

First off, it was PIKAJEWEL, my sister, who bandwagoned Human_Destroyer, not me. So, could you redirect your question towards her?

Kayle said:
JewelQuest, I'd like to hear your entire argument surrounding Human_Destroyer and also what you think of Vablakes and ProHawk.

I am assuming that you meant this for PikaJewel, but I shall answer your questions anyway.

My case against Human_Destroyer? I really don't have one. I seriously believe him to be a townie who felt the same way as I did about Vablakes, except that I am pretty sure that his 'role-fishing' was because of the fact that he is new.
I find that his tips were a good thing to post, since we seem to have several new players in this game, who may or may not have read the compendium thread.
About his your instead of our thing...He doesn't know whether or not he is speaking to a wolf, a townie, or an indie. It would hurt ANY of their win conditions to self-hammer.

What do I think about Vablakes? I find him to be an over-eager new townie that wants to help the town in all the ways that he can. If he is a wolf, then he will be easy to root out later, because of mistakes that he will make.
I do believe that he was 'role-fishing', but I do not believe that he was doing it on purpose.

What do I think about ProHawk? I am unsure on his alignment, but he has made several helpful posts, and seems to be actively hunting scum.

Scottistru said:
This post takes Tables' post and totally reshapes it. Tables said that the first line could be consider rolefishing (or rolephishing). However, he believes this is not what Vablakes intended, and makes it clear this is not an accusation. The question seems to be more noobness, and hardly has a trace of rolephishing. He isn't even trying to find a certain power role or expose a single person, he just wants to know what power roles there might be. Then JQ says she agrees with Tables, and the first line is rolefishing. She tries to may Vablakes look scummy with out taking credit for the accusation. Bonus scum points for JQ

I was never trying to make him look scummy. As I have stated in my response to Kayle, I believe him to have been 'role-fishing' but without realizing that he was doing so, which I suppose only makes it half 'role-fishing'.

Moving on
ProHawk said:
@Tables, I did see your posts and Jewel's posts, but you do realize that it was G Landers that was role-fishing right? Take a look at this post. Vablakes's question was clearly a sincere new player question, and I applaud his gusto to come right out and try to make discussion.

G landers said:
What kind of circumstances though? Sorry there must be some sort of role that I'am unaware of for a townie.

He doesn't come right out and ask about roles, but its more of an indirect route asking about circumstances being directly tied to some role.

QFT

Like what ProHawk said, this here is 'role-fishing'. He was not asking for the circumstances, but for a specific role that a townie would have. Why would a townie do that?
Not only that, but he doesn't post again after that, and simply seems to melt into the shadows. What is up with that?
He needs to get his butt out here, and he needs to answer for his actions.

The one post he has posted is enough for him to warrant my vote.

Vote: G landers
Reason: Obvious role-fishing and inacitivity.

PikaJewel said:
Vote: Human Destroyer
Reason: Many people have already given well thought out reasons that make a lot of sense to me, wolves want to make themselves seem friendly, posting anything that will convince others that they aren't wolves.

Okay, I know that several people have already commented on this, but being your sister, I feel an obligation to post something. What on earth is this?
I know I have bandwagoned quite a bit in the past, but at least try to make an effort to find your own case for a vote before you make one.

Vablakes said:
What on earth? FoSing me? I was just pointing out that you made a dumb play. You don't reveal things like that, it makes wolves more likely to target you and the town more likely to lynch you. And, you really shouldn't reveal a retaliatory role to the wolves, that is helping them. You are really going to FoS me for that? For now:

Vote: Crimsonsky

FoSing me for pointing something that you did out is crazy. Revealing a retaliator role is crazy. You must be a wolf.

*Sigh* I'd like to direct you to our last game. PMysterious was a townie the last game, and he let his emotions run free. The wolves used his emotions against him.
The one thing that you should learn as a townie is to keep your emotions in a cage. The wolves will use your emotions against you.
I find it perfectly fine to reveal a role like that. As many others have said, and he said himself, there are usually more townies than wolves, meaning that there is more chance of him killing(if that is what his role does) a seer or a cop that targets him.
But it also could be a clever tactic by a wolf, though by the way he is posting I find it unlikely. I believe that we should keep an eye on his day activity while having night roles steer clear.
 
PMysterious said:
Okay, scorri is somewhat faking it, but I don't care so my vote stays on homeofmew.
Why do you keep your vote for HoM? Do you not think there are active people whom are acting suspiciously?

PMysterious said:
My opinion stands on 2 factions in this game.
Why does this have any relevance at all in the current discussion? Alright, there may be two enemy factions in this game, but saying this has absolutely nothing to do with anything anyone is talking about, and doesn't exactly further discussion...unless you know something about a second enemy faction existing?
 
PikaJewel, can you please elaborate on this statement? What reasons stood out for you and why?


As for scorri, I am still debating whether he/she was doing a fake speech-impairment or it was a genuine mistake. IF it was a genuine mistakes, scorri got very lucky as it looks like the moderators did not catch his mistake until his/her 3rd error post.
Why would a town-align person ever do a fake speech-impairment? I can see why an independent or wolf would try that tactic as it temporarily gives them a reprieve as some might think they are town.

HomeofMew, I would like your thoughts on what has happen so far on day 1.


Because I read some of the stuff in the previous WW game where some of the good players posted that wolves will purposely (sp?) try to give off friendly intent so that others will NOT vote for them, so I thought that his posts read Scummy.


I wrote my post on two separate pages and then forgot to combine them when I was finished. Here is the other half (or to be more accurate, the first half).



As I said, the circumstances are uncommon, so there isn't that big of a list. But anyway, a seer might not want to be that active in the game, or maybe a priest. Maybe not necessarily lurking so much that they are attracting unwanted attention, but enough so that what they are doing could easily be considered lurking. I realize that everyone might not agree with this tactic, but I personally believe that it is a valid play style for that type of role to use.



Why not just say it? Seriously, why not just say that you are voting for him because he is the popular vote at the moment, because right now, that's all I am seeing in this post.

So while I do not believe that what Crimsonsky did was a good idea, I also do not think that it is as poor play as some players think. A few players have been saying that what he said indicates that he is either one thing, or the other. But that's it. They are saying that he could only be (or at the very least is most likely to be) one of two things. But is that really true? Couldn't he be a bluffing as a vanilla townie in an attempt to act as a meat shield? Is it not possible that he is a wolf trying to appear as if he has one of the role that has been suggested by the town?

My point is that I do not think that players should have such a narrow view on things that happen during the game. Each player should be ready to consider each and every possible solution.

Again, I thought personaly that he had a really scummy read from all of the posts before and some helpful advice from the previous game.

Umm…I don’t quite understand? You have paranoia, or you say that I have paranoia? What’s fake? And no.

Just FYI, that is a common beginner’s mistake. You do not want to be following what other people say, just because it sounds good. You must also agree with and follow said logic.


Also, can everyone please get an avatar? Dave, shinorri, tables, etc.

Also, as for unvoting, you MUST include the name of the person you are trying to unvote, or else it will not count. You cannot just UNVOTE <----This will not be sufficient, and, thus, does not count.

Unvote: Human Destroyer.

I didn't realize my post would be taken as a Bandwagoning so I went with the flow, now I realize my mistake, I'm completely unsure of who to vote for.
 
can people check out my tread

I wonder, why should I care about a thread when I could worry about a game?

Anyway, the reason why I'm keeping my vote on homeofmew is because I think the information cabd, KingPiplup, and Akane got were based on a whole faction. What I'm saying is that Cabd, KingPiplup, and Akane were all wolves and possibly got who was in another faction by accident.
 
@Jewelquest, I always get you two mixed up, sorry about that.

@Sheepbro, some of the points that I posted were repeats of previous posts, yes, but I was showing my support of those posts. The whole "who hasn't posted yet" question was completely valid, and I feel like it should be asked every 2-3 pages just so that the more recent list can be viewed. People not posting is a valid thing to question, and I do not understand why you question that! And, as for the whole "Scorri bold your post" thing, Vegi posted while I was typing. It happens. So, just to get this straight, you find me suspicious for:

Supporting points that I agree with, and making new points in the process.

Asking which players haven't posted so that we can put pressure on them.

Getting ninja'd.

Not posting anything substantial.

The last point is crazy IMO. I have been contributing more than you have, so the same could be said of you. I have been creating conversation. I have been making valid points. I have been trying my best to help us (the town) fish out wolves. I don't know what you find so suspicious about me.
