Ninjaed by Snake- your gambit makes no sense. People wil vote because it's day 1 and they need someone to vote and its basically a straight guess. People are voting Nikose simply to mess with you and your insane gambit because its funny. Or they just simply wanted a name and the reason doesn't matter
Like the people who voted Nikose might be scum but your "gambit" doesn't prove that at all. All it proves is that you are insane.

I was right about something? I was right about something! I even told y'all time and time again not to bandwagon, since it's how the scum won last time!

For me, something about Hawk feels decidedly scummy, but I feel bad voting for him day one since he's new. But at the same time, that's the reason why I feel like he's scummy, since he's all, "Well, I'm town! Towning it up! I just have a reason the scum won't target me now, since it's mean to do so! But town won't vote for me, since I'm town."

It feels like he's setting himself up with an excuse, "Oh, they must not have killed me since I'm new.", and not really defending himself aside from, "I'm town, and thus have nothing to fear from a lynch."

Can I make a request that, before the day ends, when we lynch someone, if it's absolutely clear they're going to be lynched, we ask them to give whatever information they have (Regarding scum/not scum. Not regarding roles), and their top hits? That way, if we accidentally go for an informant, we'll know at least who is probably scum/probably safe.

This is assuming that when someone dies, we find out their role, like in Snake's game. I dunno if that's a constant in Mafia, or just in his.

Also, what the heck is a jester role? Cause chaos, and win?

D1 is normally a crapshoot.
I'm just trying to give the crapshoot better odds of not being a crapshoot.

I mean I don't understand your point. I'm providing additional contextual information that will be useful in future days even if, say, Nik flips scum, or IHMN flips Town, or Sifright flips Town. Merely seeing that Sifright and IHMN were willing to bandwagon Nik means something. My primary goal is to catch scum and determine who may be Town, and that's what I'm doing. Nothing we do in D1 is going to lead us to immediately determine with 100% accuracy who's scum and who's town, but everything we do in D1 can make a seismic difference in future days.

If Nik flips scum, I'll feel much more comfortable believing IHMN and Sifright are Town.
If Nik flips Town, I'll feel reasonably convinced of the likelihood that at least one of IHMN and/or Sifright was scum and trying to push a possible bandwagon.
If IHMN flips Town, I'll feel it's more likely that Sifright's scum, and vice-versa, unless Nik flips Scum.

Or maybe I just want to act so unpredictably loony that Scum feels comfortable leaving me alive N1! WHO KNOWS

...You fell for the trap AND you didn't even give any independent reasoning for voting Nikose beyond merely falling for the trap, even when you've quoted me ranting and raving about how much I hate people voting and not justifying their votes with reasons!

Professor Smarmiarty · 09-26-2011, 03:34 PM

I'm drinking the crazy Kool-Aid.
Unvote: Fawcopter
Vote: IHMN
I don't agree with your reasoning and think there are problems with it but to be honest I don't have a better plan and nobody else has a better plan.
So I'll jump aboard the Snaketrain...ohhhyeah.
Oh god what am I doing?

Okay this is beginning to lose coherency.

Anyways, Hawk gives me an odd vibe because of his weird pseudo presence, but he might just be new or busy so I dunno. However, Snake flipping right around on his head sorta gives him an odd feel to, like what if he's the Jester (whatever that means) like Smarty accused? Also, IHMN seems just flippant enough to get me suspicious.

HOS: Hawk, Snake, and IHMN

Fawfulcopter, like I said, seems to really just be a buffer for whatever side he is on. If we kill him, and he's townie, we don't lose anything besides an extra number. Like, if he's a power role, then I doubt he would have been much use either. The gamble is whether he is fodder for Town, or Scum. Or Cult, whatever that means in the context here.

Vote: IHMN

Something about the gifs makes me suspicious, not Snake's reasoning.

Solid Snake · 09-26-2011, 03:41 PM

Goddammit every time an immediate bandwagon starts on someone I've just voted for it is so freaking suspicious
It is most suspicious coming from the guy who just sounded like he completely had absolutely and utterly no respect for the way I was playing the game, though
Like how can you simultaneously as Town come to the conclusion that "Snake is utterly insane and/or scum and I'm going to believe him anyway"

HOS: Smarty

Still keeping my vote on IHMN because I want to hear something of actual substance from him and maybe he'll start taking things seriously if he feels the pressure

Professor Smarmiarty · 09-26-2011, 03:43 PM

Jester has multiple possible conditions-
Usually it's there job to get lynched day 1.
Alternatively they can need to change vote every post, need to get the town to novote or need to get a specific player or players lynched onc ertain days.
Personally I think he needs to get lynched day 1. But I'm totally curious that's why I'm following him for now That or he has broke my mind.

Bard The 5th LW · 09-26-2011, 03:45 PM

What happens if the Jester fails to meet the condition assigned to him?
