Also, someone explain why AK + Niv = headache. I'm new at this, and I expect someone would have an incredibly funny explaination for it.
Personally I'm just chalking it up to normal Day 1 start randomness. Hopefully everyone will have out of their system soon. In the meanwhile.. Vote Ron Paul!

Awh, shucks, ron paul is cute. insanely scummy, but cute. dot you ll just want to give him one big kiss, and say, were sorry yur insane doctor. insane people are jus so fun to love. hat I'd really like to do is Vote Fred thompson, cause oh how ilove him, but A im ccanadian, shucks, B, he dropped out of the race. he just needs some love right now.
lastly, i'm glad I'm voting Ged, he seams so willing to die, and im not all tha into the whole necro scene. its just not cool.
Niv and Apokalypse Kid should just get a room together and save the rest of us the pain.
Actually, if anyone has a daykill they could use on Niv I'd really appreciate it.

I bought the first book in order to read it, but then didn't because it was a lethal N0 and figured as soon as I bury myself in 800 pages I'm going to die. I didn't, so now I have to speed-read. I know nothing about this flavor yet, but I'm seriously afraid to read it now with Niv and AK acting like that - ick.
In any event, I'll give it a shot - Vote: Loran16.
I've never read the books (and I read really slow, so too late to do it for this game) but there is a very cool boardgame based on Game of Thrones which I've played a couple of times. Definitely recommended if you like strategy games.
Unvote (just to confuse the Mod)

And yes, it's likely he's a gimmick account, seeing as how it uses the names of two players, albeit one that's banned, that are known on the site.
And seeing as his postcount is one... which is his post in the signup thread for this game.
Also, the player whose role it is was probably recruited in advance of the game since you otherwise wouldn't see the gimmick account in the signups (since the player wouldn't know their role required one by that point).

Ambush Krotiq makes me laugh so much. I keep rereading the card and it keeps not having Flash. In what sense is this an ambush again? I just have visions of this huge Krotiq poorly concealed in some bushes, feeling slightly sad that his carefully planned ambushes never seem to work.
I love Joboman, Poggy, Niv, and Vezok, because, while they may not be the best players, they still try to win. Having fun is the most important thing to a game, but I've learned that if you don't try to win, then you're ruining everyone else's fun.
What's that, Lassie? DYH is at a new job, learning new things and trying not to be lost, but still has the trained eye to spot newbie scum trying to take advantage of the situation in hopes of starting a wagon on a player that people have been whining and complaining about and simultaneously signaling the end of the random stage by dropping a real vote on the unsuspecting newbie scum?
Well, I think you are correct, but let's see what the new player has to say for himself first, shall we?
So how about it iLord? Care to back that vote up with something?
Unvote: Vampyr
@the mod: You have Niv on the voted list twice, both times being voted by one person (Wuffles and iLord, for reference). Consolidation could happen to make things less confusing.

I definitiely don't want to listen to Niv (at least AK's grammar's fine) talk all game.
Is that supposed to be funny? Hard to tell over the 'net.
In this game, we lynch people for being scum. At least, that's the theory.

Guess we're actually out of random voting. Unvote cause people are seeing to much into nothing at this point. I hope that I would know better than to randomly bandwagon players if I was scum. What my vote did hopefully do is draw us out of the random phase of the game.
I definitiely don't want to listen to Niv (at least AK's grammar's fine) talk all game. I assume that Niv and AK can't stop?
It's possible that both are just role playing. It's also possible that both have posting restrictions. If they do have a PR, it's highly unlikely that they can confirm, deny or comment on that fact. So them being the hypersexual Bobbsey Twins is something everyone most likely will have to suffer through.
As far as grammer, yes, Niv's grammer is well beyond atrocious, and people have complained about it previously. Unfortunately it persists, and all you'll end up doing is looking bad at trying to push for his lynch.
It's come down to just slogging through the typos.
@Zionite: Well if you've found a cornucopia of interesting things so far, how about making a case? There's no need to mention such things, and by doing so tease the rest of us, and then not follow through.

Uh huh. Convenient that this unvote comes after Bateleur points out the glaring flaw with your vote. Suddenly it's much ado about nothing?

Oh you certainly drew us out of the random phase, alright.
Summary: You bandwagon-voted an opportunistic target with no reasoning attached to your vote. You then gave very poor logic for your vote. You then backed down once it was made apparent this was not kosher play, and defended yourself with the "it was nothing" and WIFOM defenses, respectively.
I'm not seeing how any of this is pro-town behavior.
I just spent far too long trying to parse Niv's posts for subliminal messages, and decided that was totally not worth the effort.

I'm not saying that it was pro-town, per say, but it wasn't anti-town either. There is almost zero percent chance of Niv being lynched because of his PR as of now. There was no benefit (unless you count getting us out of random a benefit), nor bad consequence. (What's the opposite of a benefit. I can't seem to think of it now) So, I am saying that if I was scum, what would have been the benefit of voting Niv?
Glaring flaw? What's the glaring flaw of random voting?
I have a question. If I had posted my reason saying why I voted Niv in the same post, would any of this have happened?

What, me jumping your case?
Yeah, that probably still would've happened if you'd tacked your response to bateleur on it because you were fishing for information about the PR and voting on poor basis. Had you given any indication it was a joke or random vote, probably not. Something like "Vote Niv he spells like crap" probably would've gotten a from me. Trying to pass off this vote as "random" now is certainly a new development.
There's no glaring flaw in random voting, per se - there is a glaring flaw in legitimately putting a vote on someone for the reason you listed.
EBWODP: Excellent catch, Vamp, I was working up my post when you entered yours and didn't preview. I hadn't noticed that, but as I alluded to above there was absolutely no indication of a random vote there.
iLord sweetybuns, you know I love a badboy, but baby, a second random vote isn't badass, it's not naughty;), it's just scummy. And I don't want to yummy down pondslime:mad:
Doing something you admit is not protown that's classically foul? And not even sharing your 'random' vote love with moi? It's over honey. unvote, vote iLord
We live in a country were ~50% of the populace believe public schooling is a socialist conspiracy and that being called Einstein is an insult. We could try and fix it, but unfortunately the other 50% don't believe in euthanasia.
@iLord: Furthermore, placing a legit vote on someone you think has "almost zero" chance of being lynched is a pretty good way to hide in plain sight. Granted, it might be a tad bit early for that, but then again, maybe you didn't expect to be called out over a three-word post, either. *shrug*

I'm not trying to pass it off as random. It was random (If you take out the fact that Niv's grammar really does irk me.) You people seem to have realized that the word random was not there. This just goes with the fact that I did not post that it was random in the same post. In case I didn't clarify, the vote was not meant to be taken seriously. The post, however was.
The reason? Well, I knew that it would draw a little bit of suspicion, and I was hoping it would shoot us pass the random phase. The random phase seems boring and I wanted to make it swift. Seems like I succeeded.
@AK: Just to make you happy Vote: Apokalypse Kid. (If you guys jump on me for this, I don't know what I'll do.)
honey, don't you know my vote of iLord wasn't random? you immortal guys are so hard to please.:-/
No, I'm talking about you placing the second random vote on me during the random voting stage. You stated that the second random vote is scummy. I'm pointing out that where you just unvoted from was a second random vote. I finish by saying that if you're calling out iLord on his second random vote being scummy, well then you're just as scummy by your voting habit according to your theory.
This has nothing to do with iLord. It has everything to do with you.

sweetums, a response to people voting you shouldn't be "O, I knew it was scummy, it was to get us out of random". or a savage omgus. or claiming it was random in the same post you talk about voting to get us out of the random phase. while saying that a post consisting of unvote, 'random' vote was serious even though the vote wasn't (according to you).

What do I get for trying to oblige with your request? A accusation of OMGUS. I'm glad that we're over.
@Vampyr- I don't think voting yourself and then having someone else vote you can really count as them having the second vote on you. After all, you can always unvote yourself. Its slightly different when two other players vote you.
@Akid- He wasn't talking about your second vote. He was saying that your vote on him was random and that it was the second vote on him. I take it you meant randomly voting someone and then claiming to randomly vote someone else is scummy?
@DYH- I don't really think iLord was fishing by trying to figure out if AKid and Niv were just screwing around (no pun intended) or if they had genuine posting restrictions. One might even say that if they didn't have actual posting restrictions, they were just being a distraction, which is not pro-town.
@Akid & Niv- If you truly have a posting restriction and are allowed to address or claim it, please do so. If you are not allowed to claim or talk about it, just continue to post in the manner in which you have been posting. If you do not have a mod-given post restriction, please post normally just once, then you can go back to role-playing and we can drop it.
Since we do indeed seem to be out of random voting,

Does it matter where the vote comes from? There was what, two vote counts before AK put his vote on me. If he finds the second vote to be scummy, he had every opportunity to not vote me. But yet he did.
And then tried to justify his legit vote on someone else by using said theory that incriminates himself. You don't find that at all odd?

Alright, now that I have done that, is anyone else here not the slightest bit curious how come there was not a second kill last night. I mean with 25 people at the start of the game, I would of figured we be good for at least two. Going off of that assumption I am willing to bet someone here has information as to who may be cleared and/or scum. As for revealing that info, I would hope the town would use discretion in their dropping of the hints.
Tan: I was thinking the AWOL person was a variant kill, probably done by a neutral party. Could be wrong, obviously, but it sounds like it'd work. Plus random docage / blockage / what-have-you. I'm not really surprised.
The iLord deal feels like a classic newb drawing himself undue attention in his first game.
Ok, after catching up, I really don't see a best vote here. Let's take a look at options we have:
AK: Yes, I admit, his posts are incredibly annoying to dig through for information, and I can see somewhat of a contradiction in his thinking with the random votes and all, but it is almost obvious that he has some sort PR. I ask him to not reveal his role, but to just allude to his PR. Unless he is being incredibly annoying for the fun of it. Then he starts giving off an incredibly scummy vibe. Unless he's a jester...;)
Niv: See above + grammar, which is a poor reason to lynch.
iLord: Had a random vote. Ok. Random votes happen in every game. Maybe it's new game jitters? Who knows, but from what it looks like, iLord seems to be caught in a situation that has rolled out of control. Sure, it could be a newb scum givaway, or it could be just a newbie mistake all around. Newb doesn't always equal scum, keep that in mind.
Vampyr: This isn't really an option I think. It's really just two joke votes. Still votes though...
In the end, it seems like we are rushing this lynch like crazy. Seems like someone wants it to be night really soon...

I've been meaning to get my hands on the book, but haven't been able to yet. I'll probably have it read by the middle of day 2 or so.

VOTE Acyanchamberpot for not posting yet. I'll unvote in the event he shows up suddenly.
Wait, has anyone else not posted yet?
I don't think ACCP just up and decided to not show up for today.
He's missing according to the mod. It's a game mechanic of some sort, likely to be an ability.
And yes, it's likely he's a gimmick account, seeing as how it uses the names of two players, albeit one that's banned, that are known on the site.

Is that supposed to be funny? Hard to tell over the 'net.
In this game, we lynch people for being scum. At least, that's the theory.

Unvote.
Officially done with my silliness.

It's possible that both are just role playing. It's also possible that both have posting restrictions. If they do have a PR, it's highly unlikely that they can confirm, deny or comment on that fact. So them being the hypersexual Bobbsey Twins is something everyone most likely will have to suffer through.
As far as grammer, yes, Niv's grammer is well beyond atrocious, and people have complained about it previously. Unfortunately it persists, and all you'll end up doing is looking bad at trying to push for his lynch.
It's come down to just slogging through the typos.
@Zionite: Well if you've found a cornucopia of interesting things so far, how about making a case? There's no need to mention such things, and by doing so tease the rest of us, and then not follow through.

See Bateleur's reply.
In addition, would you like a pole, line, and lure?
Uh huh. Convenient that this unvote comes after Bateleur points out the glaring flaw with your vote. Suddenly it's much ado about nothing?
Holy WIFOM, batman.
Oh you certainly drew us out of the random phase, alright.
Summary: You bandwagon-voted an opportunistic target with no reasoning attached to your vote. You then gave very poor logic for your vote. You then backed down once it was made apparent this was not kosher play, and defended yourself with the "it was nothing" and WIFOM defenses, respectively.
I'm not seeing how any of this is pro-town behavior.

Glaring flaw? What's the glaring flaw of random voting?
I have a question. If I had posted my reason saying why I voted Niv in the same post, would any of this have happened?
My Custom Set: Solescurio
Any of what? One person voting for you?
Detriment? Disadvantage? Handicap? I'm sure there are a few more that I'm forgetting.
Well, you tell me what the difference is between the two posts in which you vote:
I'm not certain if this is what DYH is refering to, but it's something that caught my eye.
All I can say is try to do it that way next time.

Then why do it at all? What's the benefit of doing it as town? "Almost zero" != "zero". (Detriment?)
What, me jumping your case?
Yeah, that probably still would've happened if you'd tacked your response to bateleur on it because you were fishing for information about the PR and voting on poor basis. Had you given any indication it was a joke or random vote, probably not. Something like "Vote Niv he spells like crap" probably would've gotten a from me. Trying to pass off this vote as "random" now is certainly a new development.
There's no glaring flaw in random voting, per se - there is a glaring flaw in legitimately putting a vote on someone for the reason you listed.

This discussion.
I'm not trying to pass it off as random. It was random (If you take out the fact that Niv's grammar really does irk me.) You people seem to have realized that the word random was not there. This just goes with the fact that I did not post that it was random in the same post. In case I didn't clarify, the vote was not meant to be taken seriously. The post, however was.
The reason? Well, I knew that it would draw a little bit of suspicion, and I was hoping it would shoot us pass the random phase. The random phase seems boring and I wanted to make it swift. Seems like I succeeded.
@AK: Just to make you happy Vote: Apokalypse Kid. (If you guys jump on me for this, I don't know what I'll do.)
(BTW, detriment was the word I was looking for.)
My Custom Set: Solescurio
No, I'm talking about you placing the second random vote on me during the random voting stage. You stated that the second random vote is scummy. I'm pointing out that where you just unvoted from was a second random vote. I finish by saying that if you're calling out iLord on his second random vote being scummy, well then you're just as scummy by your voting habit according to your theory.
This has nothing to do with iLord. It has everything to do with you.

Vamp 2nd random vote /= second vote on a person. I'm talking about putting a 2nd random vote. You undead boys just get so full of yourselves with your whole 'I live forever, I can always find a better man' thing you got going on.

What do I get for trying to oblige with your request? A accusation of OMGUS. I'm glad that we're over.

@Akid- He wasn't talking about your second vote. He was saying that your vote on him was random and that it was the second vote on him. I take it you meant randomly voting someone and then claiming to randomly vote someone else is scummy?
@DYH- I don't really think iLord was fishing by trying to figure out if AKid and Niv were just screwing around (no pun intended) or if they had genuine posting restrictions. One might even say that if they didn't have actual posting restrictions, they were just being a distraction, which is not pro-town.
@Akid & Niv- If you truly have a posting restriction and are allowed to address or claim it, please do so. If you are not allowed to claim or talk about it, just continue to post in the manner in which you have been posting. If you do not have a mod-given post restriction, please post normally just once, then you can go back to role-playing and we can drop it.
Since we do indeed seem to be out of random voting,
unvote

Does it matter where the vote comes from? There was what, two vote counts before AK put his vote on me. If he finds the second vote to be scummy, he had every opportunity to not vote me. But yet he did.
And then tried to justify his legit vote on someone else by using said theory that incriminates himself. You don't find that at all odd?
@AK: this is what I was trying to point out.

@D_M: What was your most recent MTGS game of Mafia?
Unvote
@Loran: You're a bastard. Mod, that is.
@iLord redux: Congratulations on the number one neutral tell that is always attempted to be misconstrued as a town tell: Pushing towards a discussion. Vote: iLord, you're the best thing we've got at this point. Let's find out where this goes.

Alright, now that I have done that, is anyone else here not the slightest bit curious how come there was not a second kill last night. I mean with 25 people at the start of the game, I would of figured we be good for at least two. Going off of that assumption I am willing to bet someone here has information as to who may be cleared and/or scum. As for revealing that info, I would hope the town would use discretion in their dropping of the hints.

The iLord deal feels like a classic newb drawing himself undue attention in his first game.
AK: Yes, I admit, his posts are incredibly annoying to dig through for information, and I can see somewhat of a contradiction in his thinking with the random votes and all, but it is almost obvious that he has some sort PR. I ask him to not reveal his role, but to just allude to his PR. Unless he is being incredibly annoying for the fun of it. Then he starts giving off an incredibly scummy vibe. Unless he's a jester...;)
Niv: See above + grammar, which is a poor reason to lynch.
iLord: Had a random vote. Ok. Random votes happen in every game. Maybe it's new game jitters? Who knows, but from what it looks like, iLord seems to be caught in a situation that has rolled out of control. Sure, it could be a newb scum givaway, or it could be just a newbie mistake all around. Newb doesn't always equal scum, keep that in mind.
Vampyr: This isn't really an option I think. It's really just two joke votes. Still votes though...
In the end, it seems like we are rushing this lynch like crazy. Seems like someone wants it to be night really soon...
