Lurkfia Day Seven ([Finally] Over)

[hp2rt]

Whoops. Well, in that case I suppose he answered the question ok.

In the course since my last post I've decided it's not fair to ask someone for reads when I haven't posted any myself, so I'll get something up after my homework is done.

[Mirdini]

Doesn't excuse him from answering the question I asked though, nor the "I'm posting but not saying anything" post.

Mind posting some more content lief?

[Red709]

"Hey, uh, lief, Dini i think asked for 4 reads. So, choose someone else? Also, focusing on the people voting for you only and giving 2/3 of them scum reads is kinda...hmmm...."

he was responding to me. I asked for his thoughts on the people voting for him.

why do you never just use quotes

Because copypasting is fun.

[liefErikson]

I just can't do anything right, can I?
The "posting so you don't think I'm lurking" line was supposed to indicate that I wasn't finished typing, but had somewhere else to be. And I only pointed at ~ATH.
My only card is the noob card, and that never works on EpicMafia (I policylynched people who claimed noob, mostly because I was policy lynched when I was a noob myself.)

My reads:
Everything before page 8 must be a joke.
Sinjin is excited, and covering for it by calling himself a derp. He could be a noobtown, or noobscum.
Geneti is trying to focus suspicion on Sinjin. It could be that Geneti town getting the same read as me, or it could be that Geneti is trying to get a noob lynched. He also seems to be the most supportive of me.
Red & Mirdi both jumped on me hard for taking flavor to heart. I'll take your word about it being bad, but my god did you pounce hard. No Fun Allowed here, I see.

Lastly, I'm not scum.

[GenetiXientist]

Or i'm just suspicious of Sinjin, and want to point it out.

If I wanted to lynch immediately upon finding someone suspicious, I'd be some kind of inferior Acio knockoff.

[Mirdini]

You can do stuff right. You're just the unfortunate victim of my messing about on D1 and walking right into what I promised I'd policylynch for.

Regardless, happy enough with that post to unvote for now.

DecidedlyDevious what's up you've been pretty quiet recently.

[Aetrop]

I don't know who to vote for! THERE'S SO MANY OPTIONS.

[Sinjin]

Then how about contributing your views? For example i haven't seen anything scummy from Gene (But we all know i pull the newbie card about my scumdar).

[Aetrop]

My views? Well.... Everyone's a derp, including me, I guess. That was not that helpful.

[hp2rt]

I don't know who to vote for! THERE'S SO MANY OPTIONS.

Pretty much this.

Anyways, take a stand, lief! Which do you think sinjin is, noobtown or noobscum? I'm personally reading noobtown because it looked like he was just messing around in RVS, his post got misinterpreted, and then he sounded legitimately...uh, i guess confused is the word. he seems a little overeager, but I was in my first couple games also, so I can't blame him for it...
"He also seems to be the most supportive of me."
I...don't see this? could you point out a post number or something?
Lastly, fun's allowed, as it's the main point, it's just the support of lurking that's not.

And, Aetrop you don't HAVE to vote for anyone yet, we're still pretty early in the day, but at least respond to something/comment on something/deliver some form of content.

[Sinjin]

Errm... i don't know how i should respond to that.

[Mirdini]

I don't know who to vote for! THERE'S SO MANY OPTIONS.

Still not sure if jester or just very newb.

Or just blatant scum.

[Aetrop]

It's obvious I'm "very newb."

[Red709]

It's obvious I'm "very newb."

unvote
vote: Aetrop too many noob cards being pulled.

[Mirdini]

Addendum to new peoples: If there's heavy aggro on you for whatever reason, it's obviously not out of spite, or even out of "NO YOU CAN'T HAVE FUN THIS IS A MAFIA GAME NO FUN HAVING *SLAMS OPEN HAND ON TABLE*". It's more that well it's Day one, many of us would much prefer it end with a lynch than with no lynch, and above all this is a game of mafia. Some 20-30% of the players here are scum, and are lying/wheedling/trying not to be seen, and it's town's job to find and lynch 'em.

While niceness and accommodation should be kept in mind to have a positive environment and just general having fun, when it comes down to it in mafia people are going to be lynched, and you obviously can't just take people at their word and have happy funtimes all the time while determining who it's going to be.

This rant made because I'm somewhat worried about aggressiveness driving people off - thing is if you're town you really have nothing to fear from aggressive inquisition. It's the scum who want to hide.

[Aetrop]

OH COME ON. You what? I'm going to quote myself from page 3.

>In
This shall be my first time playing a mafia. I hope I'm not going to be bad at this.

[Aetrop]

I have been ninja'd!

[Mirdini]

Red an Aetrop lynch is wholly uninteresting. Even if it was guaranteed he isn't a jester I'd have 50/50 odds on him being town v scum atm, not to mention his lynch is the type that everyone'd jump onto without much complaint, except townies who are scared of wagons and scum who want to "look townish" (assuming he's town). To clarify an Aetrop lynch wouldn't help us much at all compared to various other lynches, and if it comes down to it (i.e. we still feel this way a few days in) I'd rather have him vigged later in the game so that a. he's had some time to play if he really is just a newb and b. we have insurance against jestertimes/elvises/etc.

[MaskedClaus]

It's still the first day and I'm already confused. I had to reread the last 5 page to understand what was going on.
Unvote
Because I made a random vote and after rereading the thread, I realise I should start thinking about what I'm doing.

[ComiTurtle]

11. Your MOD may or may not be a BASTARDY MOD. However, he ASSURES you there are none who would BETRAY their INITIAL CAUSE, and that he does not BELIEVE IN JESTERS. They're simply not a real thing. (This is a strange game, so minor bastardry may exist. No jesters though, or roles that switch alignments).

Had to throw this out there.

Ok I have no idea who is acctually scum the newb card is being pulled alot (though I did see it coming after reading everyone's in post). I agree that lief's post that got him slight bandwagon'd on was scum but I didn't expect that many people to jump on it and i don't know how I feel about it at this time.

[ComiTurtle]

EBWOP:

*Scummy not "...bandwagon'd on was scum..."

[GenetiXientist]

I will policy lynch the next person to blame themselves looking scummy on being new.

If you want to defend someone with that, fine, but I refuse to let that be used as an excuse.

Oh, and re: aggressive talk:

We are not Acio. Be thankful.

[Mirdini]

Mmm no jesters in which case the latter part of that sentence still stands.

Still waiting to hear from DD/more from rurutimes would be nice too.

Mayhaps you could actually contribute something as well cC, thought I'm not crossing my fingers there.

Muitini and Lolipod have barely talked if at all, they need to get in here as well.

...

where'd Crilly and Vancho go. That's ringing some bells for me.

QE: Iunno GX I can get pretty Acio when I'm in the mood (allstars was rather fun).

Speaking of which.

This game'll be fun.
