I like Esspen. A man after my own heart!

I've played in one other newbie mafia game, and lurking town + scum made it hard to make reads. So post, and post often, lest I find you and do horrible things to your bodies.

To further clarify my response to Release:

I'm saying lynch people that we can collectively agree have been dishonest in something they have said or done.

Further discussions on what constitutes 'dishonesty' may follow at a later time, or right now if whoever is reading this should so happen to desire.


Right now would be the perfect time to discuss it, seeing as we've been talking about it since game start. Now would be a good time to say some things, seeing as how you have the first vote and all.

@ JieXian - We have 48 hours from the day 1 post to decide a lynch target, and then 24 hours to submit night actions. The mafia get to shoot at this time as well. Then it all starts over.

BioSc vs AegonC

Im inclined towards BioSc because he has more useless posts, whereas Aegon could just be super inactive


I'm confused... You want to change policy to lynching lurkers, but want to lynch me because I'm not lurking? Huh...

Whatever. My point was that you want to lynch lurkers. AegonC isn't going to be modkilled. He's met the quota (Barely, but he has) Release called you out on your first policy, and now you are shifting to lurkers.

##VOTE BioSC

Who says I cannot maintain multiple policies. Not enough has been said for me to conclude that anyone has been dishonest. I do not agree with No-Lynch, especially in the early game.
Are you not a lurker BioSC? In what way...what have you done that suggests otherwise?

(p.s. I know I have to vote in the Vote Thread thread for it to count)


Sorry, I'm not going to make a case on myself for you. If you believe me to be scum, make the case. Look through my filter. I've discussed policy (Hint: I want people to post too)

You are voting for me? Why? Am I a lurker? I'm not even sure you know why you are voting for me. We've done and posted about pretty much the same things. So, I bounce the question back to you. What makes me a lurker, a candidate for YOUR policy, over someone who's filter I can quote in 4 lines?

Odd, because I was about to say similar to you. You have yet to explain to me why I've met your random, mysterious qualities for lurking, over someone with bare minimum posting standards.

Here's me not discussing policy - + Show Spoiler +

Hmm... so lets see, now who's meeting policy? Don't try to make a half assed case on me and ignore portions of my filter, especially this early, there is no reason for it. We wanted policy talk done early. I made my statement about lurkers, and that was it.

Now, lets go through YOUR posts.

Your opening post contains some cliche townie wisdom/ Your "policy" (don't lie) wrapped up in some cute dialect.
2-4th posts are you floundering about when Release calls you out on your policy. Trying to make yourself seem better when you are called out (I.E. excuse making.)

Then this post: + Show Spoiler +

Blues are townies as well, yes? In what game would your suggestion be beneficial to the town? Certainly not a newbie game. This is an insane statement to make, regardless of "I wanted to see the reactions."
Also, Release hasn't really questioned you except for the whole "OMGUS" as the opening post:

Fos: Esspen

I don't like your name. Do something about it.


Oh noes...Granted Release is attacking just about anyone right now, but that's to get things going. Your statement was ridiculous and right now, I'm suspect you of trying to shift the attention back onto him since he's been so vocal that it makes him an easier target.


Release has gone to bed, so his pressure is off you, and now you begin shifting attention away from yourself. Start with the easiest case, Esspen with his really bad "joke" statement. Easy target to shift focus to.

Finally, we arrive to your 3rd policy of the day, Lurkers. No one is really biting on Esspen for whatever reason, so you need to find something that sticks. Lurkers gets some comments, as some people have already expressed interest in that policy.

So your choices are arbitrarily narrowed down to 2 people. If you honestly expect people to follow your lynch lurker policy, Aegon would have probably been a better choice. Hell, I may have gone along with you. But for whatever reason you have yet to explain adequately, you focus me. I think you may have made a few too many scumslips. You can stick to policy lynching lurkers. I'll policy lynch scum.

His actions are not very committed to any stance except escaping from under my thumb. Things are said, but they are of very little consequence.

As for other lurkers, NrGmonk has let us know he is very busy. We've yet to hear from AegonC. Both of them have not really contributed to town. But BioSC has had plenty of posts and opportunities to chime in and support discussions and has not done so. Maybe he needs more time? Maybe I should let up? Who knows, but his actions paint him scum on my canvas and so I voted for him.


If you really think my case against you was OMGUS, you need to learn what a case is.

+ Show Spoiler +
I think BioSC is Active Lurking.




Phew... we finally learn what constitutes "Lurking" In the eyes of Hopeless. Here's the definition taken from his link.

+ Show Spoiler +
Examples of active lurking include posts made only of taunts, excuses for not posting, incoherent gibberish that will lead people to suspect that you do not have the Internet savvy to play Mafia, general bland agreement with whatever is going on, and so forth. For the less couth readers, this is frequently called "bullshitting" in MeatWorld.


Posts made only of taunts - nope
Excuses for not posting - nope
incoherent gibberesh - perhaps if someone didn't speak english, nope
Bland agreement - I'm the only one to make a case on you, so gonna disagree there.

I really hope people aren't buying his weak case over his obvious scummy actions.

I'm going to work out, be back in an hour and a half. I'll make some more reads if that's what you really want.

This isn't all that bad, but it still counts towards my case against you. I would prefer to let the mods sort out the rules in the future

He asked a question. I knew the answer. This is a newbie game. I suppose I'll just let everyone fend for themselves from now on, because that is scummy.



Secondly:
Posts made only of taunts (this ones a stretch, and one of the last posts hes made but still...implies I'm stupid.)

I don't make personal attacks. Don't imply that I do. If you don't know what OMGUS is, that is ignorance. I did not OMGUS. Making a case isn't OMGUS.

This is OMGUS - (Insert your accusal of me being a lurker) "OMG you think I'm a lurker! You must be scum! (Votes you back)

3 hours left to deadline at time of post. Which leaves you about an hour and a half for you to make some reads and allow people time to review in order to decide who to vote for. That's some serious scum maneuvering right there.

If people are unsure of whether to vote BioSC and are in a tossup between a couple of choices, I'd propose temp-voting BioSC until he at the very least provides the reads he has kind of said he'd be willing to do...you know, if that's what we really want


Responses in spoilers in bold

Honestly, your case is bad and I don't know how to make people see it more.

I don't need to make reads. The read I want dead is right here.

EBWOP: That goes for Esspen as well. There is NO excuse. There are plenty of cases to choose from. How people are missing Hopeless' scumminess is beyond me, but do NOT waste votes like that. You are too easy targets for scum to manipulate your votes like that.
