NOTW XLIV: The Root of All Evil GAME THREAD

[Autolycus]

Gone 3 the Celt, you admit to be working against the interests of the guild? Then pay the price for you wrongdoing!

 

[DaveShack]

I think j65536d seems to know a lot about foreigners, perhaps a little too much.

 

[Verarde]

NinjaCow, going after inactives is a good way to alert them that the game has started.

You want less people active so that you have a better chance of completing your nightkills, I get it.

 

[j65536d]

I am sticking with seon for the moment, even though I have no particular reason to believe he is mafia. I have no reason to believe anyone is mafia.

I am disappointed to see 3/4 of the votes going towards active players with little reason, regardless of whether any of the 3 targets right now (those with 2 votes) are scum if we just lynch the most active players we will quickly end up with no one left talking in the thread.

First choice, vote based on information, but barring that I suggest we go after the less active players. They are also not developing a history that we can analyze later, so we are actually ending up with less information if we lynch inactives.

 

[choxorn]

Nobody's looking particularly scummy right now, so I'll just ask SouthernKing why he's being so quiet.

 

[Kennigit]

sirtommygun needs to show up.

 

[NinjaCow64]

The thing is, the assumption that Mafiaosos are always inactives is a silly one. It is a waste of time to lynch inactives, most of them will be WoGed anyway. And how does voting for someone let them know the game has started? If they're not checking the thread then you won't know if anyone has voted for you anyway.

 

[choxorn]

Well, who should we be voting for? It's day 2, we don't really have enough information to figure out who's scum. We might as well just kill someone who's not going to play the game.

 

[Takhisis]

Typical scummioso comment. FoS: choxorn

 

[Bad Player]

Admitting to being scum is very scummy I think - SWING FOUL Gone 3 the Celt, SWING!


Why ruin the game by saying you're mafia - we want to guess!?

 

[Takhisis]

Have you thought about the possibility of him being a Jester?

Going after someone who was obviously joking: Strike 1
Pretending not to see the joke: Strike 2
Third on the Bandwagon: Strike 3

Bad Player, 3 strikes and you're out.

 

[choxorn]

Sorry, forgot about my earlier vote.

Unvote, Vote: Bad Player

 

[Takhisis]

Ignoring my accusations? Bad choxorn, bad.
And you're also trying to outpost me!

lol what? I checked his profile and he's new so I assumed he wasn't playing the game properly.

Unvote Gone 3 the Celt if he's actually playing the game.

 

[Takhisis]

Metagaming now? Both you and choxorn get a FoS from me by this point.
Also, it is now Caturday.

 

[Verarde]

Wasn't Gone 3 the Celt wanting to get himself jailed in Simpsons Mafia? I smell a pattern...

 

[choxorn]

I suppose I could respond to an argument that's basically just "You're scummy," but I don't see much point in doing so.

 

[Takhisis]

Ah, so wanting to lynch non-players (who don't influence the game) instead of trying to get those who play to react isn't scummy? Wow.

P.S.: And, yes, all arguments in NotW can be boiled down to 'you're scummy' unless they come from a scan/tracker getting info.

 

[choxorn]

Okay, you have a point there.

Lynching lurkers on day 2 does make some sense, though, just to try and see who is there but pretending not to be and who isn't there.
