Voting No Lynch is not indicative of noobscum, it is simply indicative of someone being a noob period. Beyond that, it is a complete non-tell.
If anything, in this case, I would say it is a pro-town tell for him. He was clearly trying to be active in the game, he just didn't know where to seriously place his vote, and instead used a 'placeholder' vote.
Honestly, JSexton, you should know better. Vote JSexton

Why would anyone feel the need to cast a "placeholder" vote for No Lynch? What's the point? What does that do that's pro-town in any way?
Again, though, it's not the fact that he cast the No Lynch vote. At least two other players have so far, and I'm not attacking them. It's the behavior immediately following the vote, where he tries to explain it away as a joke. I absolutely do not believe that it was a joke, and that he's lying about that. Could he be lying as town to try and save face? Maybe. Maybe not. What I'm trying to do is figure out which it is, and it doesn't help to have other people barge in and answer for him.
PS; Townies shouldn't, and don't lie abut their newb mistakes. A newb town would say something like "I thought it was ok becaus..." This is not what he did.
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.
For one thing, you can't condemn someone for 'not admitting to a mistake' when they didn't necessarily make a mistake to begin with. And secondly, you can't just say someone lied and try to run them up on it without proving why/how they are lying.

Opportunistic? Why, you think hunting for scum is something that can't happen until a good three weeks of fluff has been posted? Totally disagree. Maybe it's just because I'm not accustomed to having month-long day ones, but I see no reason to delay, you know, playing mafia.
That post is a very obvious knee-jerk reaction to my post. Particularly all of the sarcasm in it.
And you are pretty obviously not trying to 'get reactions' out of him, else you wouldn't A)have flatly called him a liar and B)be voting him. Especially since he is a newb.
Vote No Lynch, for now. When some more people post, I'll make a decision.

?? It's a reaction to your post, sure. It's sarcastic, yes, because you assumed that I was going to intentionally miss the sarcasm in andelijah's post, which is slightly offensive.
Neither of those, however, equal an overreaction.

I think voting someone is an excellent way to gauge reactions. It's not going to happen now, though, because you're interfering.
I'm curious about why Cyan is so adamant about sticking up for Bil, and not letting Bil speak for himself, and therefore ruining the chances of getting reactions.

@ AK. Way to jump on the 'getting reactions FTW' wagon. Get real.
It's not about not letting Bil speak for himself, it's about the fact that he is an obvious newb, and I am not going to sit by and let someone get jumped and manipulated by a probable scum(JSexton) and a misguided townie(AK).

Wow. Cyan playing Shining Knight to a newbie, and dissing two regulars in the same post. Who are you and what have you done to the real Cyan?
This is the post in question, by the way. Does it resemble a joke to anyone? It looks dead-serious to me.
It's not a very good joke, but I initially took that post as non-serious.
I'm curious. What do you suspect he was trying to gain by voting no-lynch? He was trying to avoid getting noticed? Sure, I'll buy that. But then why vote at all? I don't see how his actions make sense as anything other then as a joke.

I said it before, but: People were voting, so he wanted to blend in. Voting a person, however, might invite retaliation and attention, he voted No Lynch. Being a newb, he didn't know that the others who were voting NL actually were joking, thus, he tried to play it off a a joke.
That's my working theory, anyway. And my posts at him were meant to gauge whether my theory was right, despite Cyan's assertion that my mind is made up. Anyone who has played with me knows this is what I do.
I don't like Cyan's minor flaming towards several of the players...however, it seems he does that every game. JSex's reply does make me think he knows something... Vote JSex

@ Dagger: Yep, I'm chaosjuggler. One and the same. My first game on this site? Lost Mafia. Yeah... that didn't really help my mafia experience. In ANY way. (Anyone remember Lost Mafia? There was one townie. Two mafia, and nine serial killers. Wow, what a failure)
I honestly don't believe that Bilbrox's post could be taken seriously or as a tell. Sure, it's the internet and all (and sarcasm doesn't work without [sarcasm] tags) but one would at least think that someone who's playing a mafia game knows that VNL on day one is a bad idea. If not, then we instill that into them, and move on. Fos: AK and JSex.
@ JSex: There's a difference between 'waiting until three weeks of fluff have been posted' and 'making a big deal out of something that's clearly random, and definitely not serious'. You're pushing a case that isn't there.

Yes, It was a joke. A very poor one that would have greatly benefited from some sarcasm tags, but a joke nonetheless. If I could go back and edit sarcasm tags, I would, but that would result in a modkill, (and those are never fun).
Quite frankly, I think you are more than overreacting, as well as Pale Mage and AK, the other parts in the wagon on me. My one question is why? Actually, I know why, but what makes you think that it is a scum tell?

Can I have a link to lost mafia? I want to know how that worked out.
it ended in a draw between the 1 townie (a self-protecting doc) and one of the SK's. I believe it was the closest a SK had ever come to a win...before mushroom kingdom and TFC, of course. Also think it's the only game that's come to completion that ended in a draw.

I'd be glad to. I always seem to find Cyan scummy, and this is no different. In short he's acting like he did in Arim's 24 and in TFC, both times he was town. So while he's pinging my scumdar, it's not something I'm going to concern myself over.
JSex on the other hand is attacking the newbie. While it is in his wont as a Tinger to do so, it just seems off, like he knows something. more a gut feeling than much else to be honest.

Because you did one anti-town thing, and then tried to cover it up with another. N;NL on day one hurts the town, and then you lied about it being a joke, a lie you continue now. That post was completely serious, and everyone knows it.

That Lost Mafia sounds absolutely terrible, I would really like a link to see what happened....and everyone's reaction when the second and third serial killers were killed.

I don't agree with JSexton and AKid about the lying, but I am dubious about Cyan's dogged defence of Bilbroxain. Not enough to say anything either way about his alignment, though.
What I am going to be pointedly curious about is Charm_Master's suspicion. What, exactly, are you postulating that JSexton 'knows'? And why are you suspicious of JSexton 'knowing something' in the light of Cyan's 'probable scum and misguided townie' statement?

Not trying to be an ass here, but I simply don't believe you. I get that some jokes don't come across as such, especially drier forms of sarcasm, but I simply cannot read your vote as anything but serious.

1. Newbies can be scum too.
2. I'd appreciate it if you don't judge me based on the site I post most at. That's just as galling to me as when Tingers call all Salvation posters idiots is to you. I can play an aggressive style of mafia, but I'd like to think that I'm not a jackass, at least not to those that haven't earned it.
---- The discussion starts quickly, with many people from many different countries throwing their fingers, and their UN votes around. But no one can truly accomplish anyone until the representitive who has gone by the moniker "Bilbroxain" steps forward, "My fellow delegates! OBVIOUSLY peace is the best answer here, so let us spend the night in quiet contemplation, not in pointless bickering!".
At this, the various delegates focus in upon him, Obviously this is a man with no experience in the political arena. "Idiot!", "Moron!", "Terrorist!". These various calls ring through the auditorium from the multitude of gathered dignitaries. Eventually however, some of the delegates talk the room into a more subdued silence, a dignitary of a larger size, or perhaps its merely your interpretation of him, steps forward, "Listen ladies and gentlemen, this man here is obviously not one who has been involved in such activities much in the past. This we must keep in mind during our discussions."
On that note, the discussion carries forward....

You haven't really clarified anything. What might he know that is a scumtell?
O ok, I guess i'll do that. Is that ok with the mod because I just saw you do it...so i'm not sure if I should do this or not. If the rest of you want me to, i'll continue reposting the results every page. Is that fine for you guys? If not, just tell me and i'll stop. And on a note to Charm Master, I believe that is what is known as circular logic, or circumlocution... O yes, talking in circles. Provide a real answer please?
I'm with Jsex, I think that you were serious. Dagger posted obviously facetious statements with his V:NL, while you gave every indication of being serious. I think you are noobscum.
Newb scum often looks like noob town. I can see newb town thinking a VNL as useful. keeping in mind we were still on page 2
No, it was actually an elaborate plan by Bil where he thought if he voted no lynch, he could convince everyone else to do the same, and end the day quickly.
Voting No Lynch is not indicative of noobscum, it is simply indicative of someone being a noob period. Beyond that, it is a complete non-tell.
If anything, in this case, I would say it is a pro-town tell for him. He was clearly trying to be active in the game, he just didn't know where to seriously place his vote, and instead used a 'placeholder' vote.
Honestly, JSexton, you should know better. Vote JSexton

Didn't like your last post and don't like this one either
I've found that when people use the word "clearly", it's very often about something that isn't clear at all. Several people have pointed out the statement as odd and worthy of inquiry.
In what way is shutting down a line of inquiry pro-town, Karmo?
There's a point where you're going too far, though. Do you think (This question is to AK, too) that it's worthy to pursue this? Bil has said he was joking, and just because he didn't use repeatedly throughout his post as an indication he was joking doesn't make his intentions any more malicious or scummy. I mean, we have to use common sense here- would Bilbroxain (or any new player) go into a Mafia game not knowing that Day One No Lynch is horrible? Especially a Mafia game that isn't a newbie?
If you look at Alice Mafia, you can see that Bil doesn't vote NL there. What in this game would make him seriously vote no lynch, when he doesn't do it there? (Apologies if this counts as talking about an ongoing game- if Bil had any completed games, I'd look at those instead)
I think this conclusively proves that politicians really are mostly dirty old men. ^_-
Serious question to Niv, though -- why is it that your post seems to mostly contain points towards CM's questionable behaviour, but end with voting JSexton despite having listed no reasons other than /barn Cyan and 'he goes downhill after this'?

Wow there's a lot of Cyan/Jsexton hate goin on.
I can never get a scum read on him at all.
And I am deeply pleased that I was able to dodge the random voting stage.
What I am going to be pointedly curious about is Charm_Master's suspicion. What, exactly, are you postulating that JSexton 'knows'? And why are you suspicious of JSexton 'knowing something' in the light of Cyan's 'probable scum and misguided townie' statement?
Also, Some One -- blatant Cyan-barning working out for you?
Jund Fangirl; Few things can describe the bliss of the fangirl's cries fading to silence (broken by occasional munching sounds).
Grixis Emo; 'Why should I go out there? They're all uncaring zombies! *sniff* No one understands me...'
Bant Wageslave; Behind every successful knight is a corporate drudge doing his taxwork.
Naya Overenthusiast; Because there is such a thing as too much enthusiasm.
I've found that when people use the word "clearly", it's very often about something that isn't clear at all. Several people have pointed out the statement as odd and worthy of inquiry.
In what way is shutting down a line of inquiry pro-town, Karmo?
True. I wasn't (and am not now) attacking you for not being present.
Not trying to be an ass here, but I simply don't believe you. I get that some jokes don't come across as such, especially drier forms of sarcasm, but I simply cannot read your vote as anything but serious.
You know what? I've explained it, in detail, twice now. Ain't explaining it again.
1. Newbies can be scum too.
2. I'd appreciate it if you don't judge me based on the site I post most at. That's just as galling to me as when Tingers call all Salvation posters idiots is to you. I can play an aggressive style of mafia, but I'd like to think that I'm not a jackass, at least not to those that haven't earned it.
The discussion starts quickly, with many people from many different countries throwing their fingers, and their UN votes around. But no one can truly accomplish anyone until the representitive who has gone by the moniker "Bilbroxain" steps forward, "My fellow delegates! OBVIOUSLY peace is the best answer here, so let us spend the night in quiet contemplation, not in pointless bickering!".
At this, the various delegates focus in upon him, Obviously this is a man with no experience in the political arena. "Idiot!", "Moron!", "Terrorist!". These various calls ring through the auditorium from the multitude of gathered dignitaries. Eventually however, some of the delegates talk the room into a more subdued silence, a dignitary of a larger size, or perhaps its merely your interpretation of him, steps forward, "Listen ladies and gentlemen, this man here is obviously not one who has been involved in such activities much in the past. This we must keep in mind during our discussions."
On that note, the discussion carries forward....

UnVote Cyan
oh my lord, do you really think that looked scummy. It's no different than saying vote stands, which is said all the time.
Newb scum often looks like noob town. I can see newb town thinking a VNL as useful. keeping in mind we were still on page 2
I loled
Barn Cyan
just a note from this post, i feelJS goes further downhill since the vote, and I will probaly vote him at the end of this post at this point
Wow, If only i had the time cyan had to post my thoughts before someone steels them from me. Stupid NASCAR vacation (did i menton I'm in tennessee to watch cars drive ;-)
Hi ~, are planing on playing like scum, AGAIN?
Didn't like your last post and don't like this one either
Also, Vote JSex
Millionaires, I hear it's good Music (Disclaimer: lyrics not PG-13) Thanks, CC
There's a point where you're going too far, though. Do you think (This question is to AK, too) that it's worthy to pursue this? Bil has said he was joking, and just because he didn't use repeatedly throughout his post as an indication he was joking doesn't make his intentions any more malicious or scummy. I mean, we have to use common sense here- would Bilbroxain (or any new player) go into a Mafia game not knowing that Day One No Lynch is horrible? Especially a Mafia game that isn't a newbie?
If you look at Alice Mafia, you can see that Bil doesn't vote NL there. What in this game would make him seriously vote no lynch, when he doesn't do it there? (Apologies if this counts as talking about an ongoing game- if Bil had any completed games, I'd look at those instead)

Why jump ahead when he hasn't responded?
However, FoS JSexton. Should've done that back up at my other post.
I think this conclusively proves that politicians really are mostly dirty old men. ^_-
Serious question to Niv, though -- why is it that your post seems to mostly contain points towards CM's questionable behaviour, but end with voting JSexton despite having listed no reasons other than /barn Cyan and 'he goes downhill after this'?

It was a joke playing on my name, he's said someone a couple times in his posts so I decided to poke fun at it.
Unvote Sneaky
What is Tinger or a Tinger? or whatever it is...thank you.
FoS - jSEX - Niv has created some valid points, as do Charm/Karm to a lesser extent, although I am a little wary of Charm, we shall see how things evolve.
A denizen of MiseTings, which is a somewhat darker Magic humor site. Used to be, at any rate. Been a bit of a feud between here and there for some time.

Oh yeah? Niv barely mentioned me. All he did was barn Cyan, by his own words, so what "vaild points" did Niv raise that make you want to FOS me?
Who is "him" here? Me?
Pretty sure I was voting BilBro. I think RobRoy was still voting Sneaks.
Unclear. I hold the opinion you are a thoughtful player. I don't think you do much without a purpose. Was your only purpose to be funny?
This is what he does.
I want you to vote for people in the random stage, not no lynch. I don't know you.
@Some One - A tinger is someone who posts on MiseTings.
