I think we need to grab one more person, then start a circle-jerk, then wait for someone to invariably make a stupid case, then rip each other's throats out for the next 48 hours until we last-minute mislynch some townie.

That's how I remember it working anyway.

It's been a while.

Not much of a plan if you're going to warn people about what you're looking for.

##Vote Sandroba

(Did you catch me?)


Normally, even early-game troll votes have some pretense to find someone suspicious/mafia (even if stretched alot).

This post doesn't follow. It doesn't call Sandroba scum in any joking/trolling way. You're just calling his actions dumb, then voting for them. Which is a pretty scummy thought process.

How are you constructing Sandroba's post to be scummy as opposed to just stupid?

What do you think?

Do you think I'm trying to paint sandroba in a bad light using my "scummy thought process" like you mentioned or do you think that it was a random vote with little thought?

Now that you've found something scummy that I've done, am I a better vote than VE?


Your post seemed serious enough for me to read into the logic. But you say it's a random thoughtless vote so alas. Certainly didn't seem like one to me though.

Either way, are you specifically trying target Sandroba, or is this something "random" you latched onto in the thread?

Welp, gonna go with my usual opener.
I think the only difference here is for the first time I'm actually relieved to roll town. I'd be pretty terrified to go up against this town as scum.


I was kinda hoping to role mafia with the all vanilla setup. They probably have the advantage regardless of who is playing.

Wanna vote sandroba with me? He may or may not be scummy.

lol I'm really hoping you're not scum kita.
Nah no reason to vote sandroba yet. Not only is there basically nothing to vote him for, I've seen what he's capable of as the game progresses (from PYP) and if he is town and plays this game anything like that, he'll start slow and then start bringing the pain to scum.


I don't understand your reasoning here. What does him being a "slow-starter" have to do with not wanting to vote for him?

For example, wouldn't it be arguably good to put pressure on him early to determine his alignment?

I'm not voting him as a joke. I think he is a great vote. We should lynch him today.


Why is he a great vote and/or lynch?

All I got from your post was "we should lynch lurkers, but not discuss it."

...which isn't really policy discussion.

You see VE knows how to say things. But this post doesn't say things. This post, when the fluff is removed says that we should let Sandroba do his own thing because no matter what he'll do his own thing and that Sandroba may or may not catch scum. It shows such a lack of curiosity that I am disturbed.

Do you, Hapa, agree? y/n?


Yeah I agree. I've been put off by VE's posting so far, mostly because he's been one of the more active people in the thread and hasn't managed to post anything substantive.

It's reminiscent of my last few voice mafia games with him, where he's willing to talk a lot about irrelevant things at length, while ignoring attempts at any meaningful discussion.

My initial vote on him was random, but I like where it's parked right now.

Will you go on a date with me y/n?


What's your favorite restaurant? I'll make the reservations <3

I can't point out all the scummy things he posts if he hasn't posted yet. If you were to vote for him then maybe he will respond and I'd have something to give you. Sounds like a win-win to me!


Can we talk about something serious? What do you think of VE?

He's the topic du-jour.

I'm fine with VE for now for reasons stated earlier.
What does bother me a little Hapa (and I'll admit, bothers me every time this is brought up by anyone in any game) is your comparison of VE's play to voice mafia games.
There is very little if any indication at all that you can base people's play in forum games on how they play on TS. Par example (though not the only one), in voice mafia I am supremely confident, can sniff out scum with just a few words from them, and play mafia really damn well. Would you say that describes my forum mafia play?

Essentially text and forum-based games are way too different to make proper comparisons in my opinion, and I would really think that you'd be aware of that.


I agree that they're different, and there's no way I'd lynch VE on his voice-meta alone. However his early-game so far is objectively scummy, independent of his voice-mafia play. I only mentioned the voice-mafia stuff because its worth noting how eerily similar it is so far.

I can't call VE scummy, else he will vote for me.

I KNOW YOUR SECRETS.

I'd rather talk about marv. He suggest that the all vanilla setup makes things difficult to start off rather than attempting to generate conversation.


That's an interesting observation about marv, but there's just not much to talk about given the context of his posting (Page 1, Day 1 fluff), not to mention that he hasn't been around for any of the recent discussion.

I'd rather talk about people who are posting now or have atleast some content worth analyzing.

Well... why wouldn't you post this before? Regardless, several players have mentioned that sandroba isn't going to respond to pressure anyway, so I don't see the point here.

Hapa appears to identify that it would be a good idea to try to apply pressure to a slow starter, yet later suggests that he can't understand my objective.


I understand your motive. What I don't understand is how you think it's going to work when you've already undermined yourself several times. There's no point in making a random pressure vote on a player when you've already stated that it's poorly justified and random.

Rather than trying to contribute to the pressure, he is satisfied with asking serious questions such as "Why is he a great vote?", when I think it is pretty obvious that there isn't any content in the thread to justify it.


Why would I want to contribute to troll-pressure? I want to start serious discussion, and not dabble in random unjustified votes. The sooner we can get away from this random voting shit, the better it will be for town.

Wave has been alright so far IMO. He hasn't posted anything to make me suspicious of him, and he seems engaged enough in the thread compared to everyone else in the game. So I'm pretty neutral on him, and would not be willing to bandwagon him.

However, I do feel that VE is scummy for the reasons that you're suspicious of Wave:
I find very few of his questions relevant thus far.

I don't see what he is looking for.


Nothing VE has said has been relevant so far. There are no objectives in his gameplay beyond cracking "witty" 1-lined responses. VE's gameplay so far gives me the impression that he's more interested in irrelevant small-talk than finding a read, pursuing an objective, or even promoting discussion.

Hell, Isn't it strange for someone with 10 posts this early not to have said a single damn relevant thing?

I wanted to see whether you thought that I was pushing sandroba based on his first post or not.

Regardless of whether or not sandroba will react to having votes on him, I still think the best way to start off a game is to place votes early on 1-2 targets. If we're discussing players that have recently posted, I'm not really interested in joining you on VE. Would you be willing to support a Wave bandwagon? I find very few of his questions relevant thus far. I don't see what he is looking for.

Wave, would you like to explain your approach to the first few hours of the game?

I get a feel for reads through conversation.
My questions to Hapa/Prome are to try and get a feel for them while creating conversation at the same time.
When I'm curious about something or something strikes me odd, I mention it.
I'm not sure why that isn't obvious to you.


So what's your feeling of myself and Prome as of now? Any other reads worth mentioning?

I'll say something when there's something worth saying.


I eagerly await these contributions, though is there nothing worth saying at the moment?

Anything objectively scummy in my play? Bring it up Hapa. This is subjective, and it's VE we're talking about.


I've think I've summed up quite adequately my read on you. If you'd like to ignore all of that and call it "subjective", you're welcome to do so, but it will do you no favors come lynchtime.
