I'm support GMarshal for Mayor, as he looks/is: 1. Most transparent, will tell us Captain's abilities if it will benefit town 2. Likely to take in input from players but ultimately make his own choice 3. Isn't a total scrub From posts like these I find him to be the best candidate. ##Vote: GMarshal RazyorFlash His first post was fluffy flavor, not a scum tell per se but definitely noncontributing. On April 14 2012 04:49 RayzorFlash wrote:+ Show Spoiler + I still haven't gotten a PM... I feel left out  1.Theres been a lot of good discussion going on with regards to transparency or secrecy for the captain... I think that whoever gets elected captain will be the one who has to make that call, really. I agree with what people have said that the captain needs to be able to make an executive decision if he thinks that none of the candidates that town votes for are scum, and there is another target whom he thinks is likely to be scum. While I agree that the captain should call his lynch in order to give people a chance to defend/wrap up their matters, I can also see scum exploiting that with fakeclaims etc... 2.As I said before, I wouldn't mind being captain if you all think I'm trustworthy enough, but I have a history of making bad reads (pushed for a ton of bad mislynches in my first game, had the completely wrong reads in Arkham City too) and in retrospect it would probably be better if I were not captain. The person I'll vote for captain needs to be someone who generally has good reads, is someone I have a reasonably good town read on, and is also willing to listen to peoples opinions and think/post rationally with little spam and clear sensible points. So far all the people who are running have satisfied only one or two of these criteria... Except, that is, for GMarshal... GMarshal, in order to gain my vote you have to answer the following questions: - Who would you vote for if you had the same criteria as me? - Why would you lynch VayeshMoru instead of any of the 10 other people who haven't really contributed anything yet?? 1. RF states a lot of the ideas that have been floating around regarding captain, but didn't actually really say what HE thinks on the matter? He doesn't say whether he wants captain to be transparent or secretive, just that captain should "make that call". Also waffly when saying "I think captain should call lynch", but "maybe not cuz uhh hurr". Seems indecisive, just talking about said topic to talk about it. 2. Says I'll run for captain if you want me to, but I'm bad at making reads so I shouldn't be captain. ??? What is the point of saying this? Seems odd. FoS on RayzorFlash Going bowling, will be skyping it up later tonight if people are up for it. | ||

If you actually read the parts that you label, it contains me outlining characteristics that would make a good mayor and why I think GMarshal was a good choice for captaincy... If you want to come up with someone to FoS at least put in the effort to read the posts fully. Don't just try to pick someone and come up with a random cause... That's something scum would do It annoys the hell out of me when someone's response, in any medium, is "did you even read my posts?". Of course I read them. It really doesn't take that long to read like 4 paragraphs; I'm not looking for a summary of what you said, but an explanation for what I find to be suspicious behavior What I SAID about your post was that Seems indecisive, just talking about said topic to talk about it. Because you waver over the issues at hand without seeming to have a direct opinion, wanting to run for mayor but backing off quickly when it's apparent that your viewpoints are not popular, and not concisely stating what you think captain should do. I mean, compare your post to this one, of similar subject matter but absolutely different tone. I'm just calling it as I see it; that make me scum? On April 14 2012 12:29 RayzorFlash wrote: Ace: My three paragraphs in my campaign speech 1: Decide who gets lynched by a vote, 2: Share hidden powers if captain gets any, 3: Dont get distracted by mechanics of how captain works and lets focus on hunting scum If you plan on doing #3, I eagerly await it. My FoS is just a call for you to do more. @l10f, prelims are pretty much over; you should have plenty of time to play the game, where are you? @Sinani, ur doing that thing where you're really uncontroversial and lurky. If you've been active in PMs, you should have an idea of who you think is scum - who would you want captain to lynch? For the vets who are planning on playing this game purely through PMs or whatever: discussing/developing reads through PMs in such a medium is definitely better for town (less chance of manipulation by scum), but when making decisions like voting for mayor, calling someone scum, it would be appreciated if the decision making process is clearly articulated. There are a lot of newbies in this game (myself included) who are thinking "wtf all the vets are trolling doing shit", and while it has come to my attn that PM games often end up like this, if you want the myriad of newbies to be useful and not just a pack of lurky doods with not enough content to deduce alignment. | ||

He asked if I wanted to be captain out of the blue, which I think would be a strange thing to even think about or propose as scum. 13. EchelonTee - I am a bit suspicious of his FoS on Rayzorflash, mainly because I couldn't really see Rayzor as scum. I don't think it necessarily indicts ET, but I'm curious about his reasoning, and have asked him to follow up further. You realize I also asked if someone wanted to be captain out of the blue as well. How does that make RF unscummy, while I remain a "bit suspicious"? That's a strange double standard, but it might just be because you were flattered someone would suggest you as captain. I already followed up with my reasoning here, in case you missed it. MrZentor I don't agree with a MrZentor lynch. Something that lot of the vets seem to be ignoring is the possibility of newbies just play suboptimally, and so they just call everything that is bad scummy. MrZentor legitimately made it seem like he wanted the mayoral positions in these posts. While I don't think his platform is good at all (the whole democratic jazz), I highly doubt that a scum team would allow MrZentor to run like this. Running for mayor = tons of scrutiny on you, and you have to be able to deal with the pressure or you will be pwnt like BM in TL L. While his mayoral campagin was bad, he wasn't all like "oh i want to run sort of but kind of" in a half assed way - he actually believes that his policies are da best, which signals that he doesn't give a fck what people think about him, which doesn't ring scummy to me. Unless they are experienced, scum are usually more scared. MrZentor feels to me like the usual narrow minded strongly opinionated town MrZ. I have failed to see anyone bring up a legitimate reason why MrZentor is scummy, and not merely just bad. The case on him can be summed up as "I didn't like his campgain" and "he's being disruptive", where I fail to see how he has been disruptive. Paragon of townieness? naw. But he's been posting opinions on a few people, which laughably enough is miles more than other players in this game. Captain candidates, since the election is wrapping up, it would be appreciated if you posted who you plan to lynch and why. I added some more people on skype, talk to me pls. | ||

Myriad of questions I want answered or I tunnel your lurker ass: @Node, it sounded like you were going to be doing things in thread and running a good game. So far you've been more disappointing than Santa being fake. Any thoughts on today's lynch? @VE you're doing that thing where you lightly troll, lurk, and don't build any cases. Smells a lot like TL LI. Why do you think Ace is scum? @Sinensis The times I have seen you play town, you've been more abrasive in pursuing your opinons and/or plans. All you have done is lightly discredit others in a non-assertive manner. Any scum reads? Hell I'll take town reads. @Coag you've been pretty bold in making assertions, and it's quite obvious you think Ace is scum. Why aren't you pushing him now? If you've added me on skype and I haven't talked to you yet, msg me with your TL id and stuff. I added a bunch of people but I don't know who you are lol. | ||

I asked you a question way earlier and you never responded. I asked 3 other people questions and they never answered me. Nothing can get done in thread because people under scrutiny just ignore the scruinty and continue lurking / floating in PM land, such as yourself. If you demand transparency, you have to show it. You're finally starting to get to work, which is moderately redeeming, but seriously. How the hell are we supposed to play this game if no one posts?? Node, where the hell are you? | ||
