I am simply reinforcing my question on why share them. He had initially responded to it quoting bl. I said why I dont like it and I ask again why. How is that scummy? I think you are reading into it way too much. | ||

Then we can agree to disagree I guess. I like to keep poking him. | ||

I expect sth more thought out. There must have more than just BLs strategy behind it. I expect of xata to be smarter than whathe claims to be.[/QUOTE Lazer, why are you so intent on stopping me from questioning xata further? | ||

It's not the fact that you are questioning him that I find troublesome but that you are wasting time asking a question that already have been answered and that is just a waste of time. You expecting him to be smarter means that he either isn't as smart as you thought or that he is lying. But there isn't a reliable way to figure out which one it is and it turns into WIFOM at best. What of the above is it that you don't get? | ||

I don't really like the amount some players have been trolling, but like someone said, it seems to be the norm in non-newbie games and thus I cannot make too much of a read out of it. ShaioPi and Xata probebly isn't scum team I guess. Which players do you feel have been overly trolly? I agree with your sentiment, but it's not enough to just state that. So let's start something going. Here are my thoughts on Zealos. He's not posting pictures or videos to thread, but he stands out to me as someone who has been here but isn't doing anything. Filter is almost solely one-liners, with a "vote x10" that then gets unvoted. He has one post with any meat to it - + Show Spoiler + On November 30 2012 21:13 Zealos wrote: I disagree on the question front Xata. Asking lots of questions forces potential Mafia players to give their opinions, and it means they can't avoid talking about the topics at hand, also, it's a good way of getting discussion moving. The way you avoid mafia being able to ask questions all game and not give opinions is to ask similar questions of them. If everyone on the town team keep pressuring one another, and the mafia team, then eventually it becomes obvious who is scum, So Lazermonkey, what are your thoughts on Zealos? Do they line up with mine? Beyond that, pick a player of particular interest to you, and I'll give you my thoughts on them. Feel free to share yours or not. | ||

Apart from posting links, he's just made comments that don't matter and posted a kanye video. Couple things: Zealos voted, traded dumb comments with the guy he voted, and unvoted. At the very least, that shows more ... participation in the game than BH. Whereas BH dropped a dumb vote on someone, Zealos unvoted his dumb vote, showing that it wasn't pure trolling, to some extent he cared where it was. That's a major difference for me, he's trolling but ... caring about the game in a way that BH isn't right now. Also, during one of the few discussions that have happened in thread, Zealos adds his thoughts about asking questions and how it helps find mafia. He constructs a real post, with words and thoughts, but when you read it there's just not much there. It's minor advice that doesn't do anything for the thread, and he doesn't actually do anything with it. | ||

 For how long would BH's trolliness have to continue before you started regarding it with suspicion (if at all)? | ||

My gut reaction was to say that he's been gone a bit, sleeping/not here/whatever, and that if he returns purely trolling, then I'd be worried, but if he returns with anything else than I won't. Which is stupid, and telegraphs how I'll read him, and blah blah. As I typed that, I realize I actually don't care about his trolling. If he's scum, he'll eventually get killed for it because other players will mind, and if he only trolls then he has no control over the game, can't really influence anything. Which is fine by me. If he's town and trolling, I trust him to eventually un-troll. So while I'd prefer a helpful BH, I don't think I'm actually going to be suspicious of him if he continues trolling, unless we're getting mid-late game and I've got townreads on a lot of the remaining players. | ||

I played with Zentor and he was like this all game (aka, doing nothing) so it's mostly BH I'm concerned about. Marv have been posting alot of things but he have at least been posting some usefull stuff so I'm fine with that. Which players do you feel have been overly trolly?

Regarding Zealos, I don't really care about any posts but his last. I basically agree what he was saying about questions, they are good but should be used as a complement to scum hunting, rather than replacing it. I don't think we can read too much into his post tho. I am going to treat him as null for the time being and see if he actually does something usefull. Thoughts about Dandel? He have been posting quite alot although some of it have been rubbish. I don't really like how he claimed to be a noob right away. But at the same time I don't really think it's too good of a move from scum PoV either. I'm treating him null atm. | ||
