but most of the posts early on were to retaliate for the other players insults about my pelvic thrusting.

To be honest I haven't voted?
But to answer, its that People like Mr Scarper made sense. That said.... I'm sensing a deja vu quote coming on.

Ok, Lord-Loss, I've been through and pinpointed some reasons that I've voted for you. Reading your posts is a bit of a rollercoaster of up and down, you get so passionate about things it is, as avantgarde (I think) said a few pages back, fairly disconcerting.

The reasons for voting for you are explained partly by your first 'sensible' (as you put it) post:

Lord-Loss wrote:2. Currently we are in the random voting stage, basically I might say to X person"You sir, smell like cats, I hate cats!!! vote: X person" It's a random vote, it helps get discussion started and you can see people's reactions to getting voted. Just though I'd mention this, incase anyone didnt know.

Besides your hounding of Shas'O you've mostly been pushing for other people to come up with people they think are suspicious (despite them having no more evidence than you have).

Lord-Loss wrote:Sometimes it nessicary tol put pressure on people, and using lots of caps doesnt usually work. So keeping someone three/four votes away from a lynch can force them to explain themselves.

Can everyone explain who they think is suspicous and why?

This seems suspicious to me as you could be trying to find links of people who don't like other people in order to exploit it.

The whole "who wants to join me in voting for Shas'O?!" followed by people voting then you backing off sharply has already been commented on. You've said you want Day 1 to continue as long as possible, but why? All we're getting by this stage is people getting confused about what was said seven pages of random nonsense ago, why not have our first lynching and THEN spend our two weeks disecting the way the votes fell? Seems to me that you want to get more ammunition to use against all of us as you slaughter your way through us.

Finally you get so over excited about everything. If anyone so much as points at you vaguely you start flinging around the exclamation marks and the anger.

Lord-Loss wrote:Arheiner: Me, EF and Shas isnt likely at all, you have no evidence to back it up!

Scarper: I'm hounding Shas for for some reason for his behavour because I dont want to lynch an innocent. It's hard to lynch an Dark Kin day one, but we might do it!

I have done nothing suspicous, I've been hounding Shas for an explanation about his silly, scummy behavour, thats not suspicous..

I have unvoted Shas to make sure he doesnt get lynched too early into day one, thats not suspicous.

It's not a lot to go on, and I know you can explain it all away, because there's nothing going on right now and all we can go on is what people are saying. That's not what we should be looking at, people can say anything, it's when the votes start being cast and people start dying in their sleep that we can actually hope to catch the Dark Kin.

I have a gut feeling that you're not being honest, it may well be wrong, but I choose to voice it and cast my vote on you.

OC: I'll be mysteriously vanishing until Friday. In order to avoid casting my vote. Looking for treasure.

I said he was suspicious. Confirmed.

but what if it is a trap?

Then we'll send in 200 chickens to set them all off.

Wait... that's how to get through the first few rooms of the Tomb of Horrors...

I was being flippant Shas'O. Much as avantgarde was

I'm sure some other players can agree that putting pressure on someone is a good way to get an explanation out of them..

I explained my "hounding" of Shas, I was trying to get him to explain himself.

Bishop, If we lynched Shas several pages back, you couldnt have made this case against me and it would be hard to make a case against anyone without talk. I find day two to be slower then day one, your using what happened in day one and working off that..

Shas: I see what you mean, can you explain the Bandwagon voting?

I've never played before, so I am not pushing this, it just seems to me that all this banter and back and forth is getting us nowhere, we're just piling the comments deep and wide and making it harder to spot anything important.

But if as you say Day 2 is quiet, then I'll retract that part of my comment.

Look back at a few mafia games, watch from the start of day two and I find its slower as you are trying to work out If X person was killed because they had a conflict with Y person etc.

i tried to explain, but everyone seems to think that its a horrible excuse, there is no way of pleasing you people.

Only with a valid explanation

so, what do you think is valid?

shas'o vera wrote:i tried to explain, but everyone seems to think that its a horrible excuse, there is no way of pleasing you people.

Random cries of "I'm just naturally a loud person" does not an explanation make.

Putting pressure on people tends to make them pay attention and explain themselves. The fact that shas'o just got even more erratic is...troubling.

*chuckles* You lot love to ignore self defense. I say this because well.... the evidence is there in your last post. Mr Shas gives you what he feels is his best try and you ignore it out of zeal.... unless you ignore it so you can lynch and innocent?

Vote: RustyKnight. Because your zeal is dangerous and should be questioned.

I thought you weren't going to be voting round one? Course, you failed to bold your vote.

Please tell me, when did shas'o ever offer a real explanation? Is this what you consider an explanation?

Shas'O Vera wrote:well, that bandwagon vote was because this is my first time, and i thought that Scraper is the most experienced player here.

secondly, those random votes were for the same reason Lord-Loss described ealier, to put them under pressure and to see if they do slip up.

and lastly, the random thing, well, thats just the way i am, i cant change that, simple as.

Newbishness is an okay enough defense, but then he claims that he thought Scarper had the most experience. Bull. Scarper had like fifty posts when shas claimed that. Scarper is a new player as well.

The second item is a lie, or at least a reason thought up after the fact. Lord-Loss said that after shas'o's vote. I have a lot of trouble believing someone who's entire defence has been that he's new would have a strategy like that.

The third item doesn't really mean jack. If he can't behave in a non-scummy manner, then we should at least remove him so that he doesn't mask the presence of real scum.

I would be remiss if I only took a single quote from shas'o. I mean, maybe his later posts show a more benign eldar.

Shas'o Vera wrote:how do we know that its not you that is dark kin and could be trying to use the most cunning weapon of all...... logic.

Shas'o Vera wrote:and LL, i might want to be lynched or not, all im saying is that we all have an equal chance of being dark kin

Shas'o Vera wrote:exactly my point, go ahead and lynch me, but believe me, it wont help one bit, so think, if i was dark kin then i would actually be acting worse than this, some of you have seen my remarks on other topics, and they are bad.

its your choice.

Shas'O Vera wrote:congrats, you figured out my stratagy, you get: one cyber cookie.

That post interests me, the_ferret. You sound mighty sure that I'm a Dark Kin. You claim that I'm blinded by zeal. What zeal?

As a preemptive measure, I'm going to point out that unless you bold votes, they don't count.

Vote:RustyKnight

Because past experience has been mentioned before, you'll note that you were one of the ones eagar to slice my throat last time.

I was?

At least I remember it that way. I may be wrong, and if I am you'll be glad that I'm the only vote you currently own.

Its against the rules to discuss Thors game while its still on.

Then Lord, I guess I'm effectively muted for the time being then.

What?

All my experience comes from that game.

Well I'm not sure what you mean but instead of "I learned X from Thors game" you say "I learned X happened from previous mafia games" I wouldn't restrict you at all.

I learnt from previous mafia games that you always give off a guilty vibe to others. I still stay with my vote though.

What? In Tho- a previous mafia game How was Lord Loss guilty?

He wasn't aka me telling other people in said game that you and Lord were innocent.... and I was right.

Oh, so..you're saying that he's not guilty, but he ussually looks guilty?

I'm not sure I understand where you're coming from either Ferrett, sounds like a revenge vote from a different game rather than something based off of vibes from this game...
