I don't feel very comfortable with SFS. I feel like he has said a LOT of nothing so far. I know we are posting a lot but that is not an excuse to not add any content whatsoever.

Pre-post edit: Pops, SFS deleted a post? Uhh this is against the rules in this game, right?

He typed up, thought about posting, then deleted.

Oh ok. Did I miss where he said this somewhere?

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

3) @O again: In #350 (p15) you said "...RVS doesn't mention anything about Jokes or Humor, which most of the random votes have been (notable exception: Popsofctown)". I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to get across?  Can you elaborate?

More in the next hour.

Finally, post #350 was in response to the article which Axxle (I believe Axxle) linked us all in the first day. The comment is solely saying how I disagree with the article, and while you're welcome to read the article to try to gleen some mafia perspective on me from it, it's not altogether amazingly relevant to who is or isn't mafia.   

I read the article, and have commented on same, at .  Interesting.It was the reference to Pops that I didnt get.  Are you saying that his vote was random, but not meant humorously?  Or are you saying that his vote was the exception because it was serious (as in, not meant in jest)?

I think he means deleted before posting it. But I don't know how he knows that. I could believe that SFS is actually really new and naive. (I don't, but I could.) The first thing a genuinely new and naive player who was mafia would do, given basic competence, would over emphasize his naivety.

I recall SFS saying he had done so.

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

*at 242, as I recall.

You're correct here.

[Axxle]

I might use . instead.  That wouldnt cause much problem would it?

OK, it's not going to be possible for me to play this game without humor.  It's who I am, and the game is supposed to be fun.  I typed and deleted (about 3 times) in my opening post the following, and should have just left it in:

I will be using humor (and potentially emoticons) in my posts.  If that gets me lynched, so be it.  This is a game of evaluations, and if I am lynched because I say something intended to be funny, it will help me evaluate my game experience.

You have all been warned!

Dug it up for you guys.  Pretty clear.  I don't share the same conclusions as pops though.

I not only disagree with it, I don't understand how Pops really can get any serious read from that, guilty or not guilty.

I did what? To what post are you referring?

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

Or are you saying that his vote was the exception because it was serious (as in, not meant in jest)?

You're correct here.

So why was he the primary exception?  My vote for you was not at all in jest.

We were talking about random votes not made in jest. Your vote was not random.

Oops yeah I just missed this. I read that post but missed that phrase.

But on the topic of that post: SFS, you said in your "original" introduction that you would be using lots of humor, that you weren't even concerned if that gets you lynched. So far, you have been one of the most anti-humor people in the game? Care to comment on this? Did you write and delete that post because that is not how you ended up wanting to present yourself?

[Galzria]

I think, for the moment, Unvote[/b%. Pops hasn't convinced me AT ALL, but I am wary that he hit 5 votes so quickly, and I'm not sure of his guilt much more than others in that list. He responded, I unvoted. Now to reread some.

Man, it's tough to stay in near real time.  What I was saying was that in my opening post for Day 1 (#242), I debated putting the comment (about my use of humor) so much that I typed it up and deleted it three separate times.  I would never delete a post, it's against the rules, and could drastically affect game play. I was under the impression (at the time of my writing, based on posts I'd read) that humor was seen as anti town.  (The you have all been warned was an attempt at the aforementioned humor.  I never claimed to be funny.)

Got it, thanks for the clarification.

guys, come on this is obvtown posting

I've been told I often make the right calls for the wrong reasons because I have a strong gut.  Maybe just trust a brotha?  There's 14 other players.  I'm including myself, at least if I die my ideas gain more credence.

[popsofctown]

i am referring to sfs

[Galzria]

@SFS but you followed it up with this post in the very same page, discouraging our joking demeanor:

 

Vote: Quicktopic

@O: Puppies of large dogs are cute. I've not encountered puppies of yappy-type dogs enough times to form an opinion on them.
I'm fine with smart children, but there are a lot of obnoxious, loud, undisciplined children that I prefer to stay clear of me.
I think this is where I say: God Bless America.

UNVOTE
Vote: Axxle (for the above post)

@ALL: Can we get more focused on gleaning actionable information?  This is going to be incredibly unwieldy 6 weeks from now at the end of Day 3, when there could still be as many as 12 people in the game.

I will not trust anyone because they ask me to, no.

Last three digits mod 14 of the view count of This Video by 5 PM EST

Damnit O - this is a bad idea too.  There's no way for ANYONE else to know what the viewcount @ 5pm is... especially since the # is always moving.  You'll be able to claim anything you want - with no way for us to know.  You might as well pick a name from a hat - another unverifiable randomization process.

Anyhow - you've already accomplished the discussion - why don't you just skip the random voting and accuse someone?

To be honest, I just wanted to rickroll someone (though I could always Screencap that statistic).

And I've found Axxle very erratic this game so far. i feel like he's trying to be me, which annoys me. Only I get to do that 

This is where I abandon the random-voting tactic

And you are asserting that your abandonment of that idea is mad clear by which part of that post?

By the passive (no, not explicit) agreement with Captain Frisk and explanation for my motives for the random voting?

Also, the fact that I haven't *done* the random voting (I said I would at 5 EST), though obviously your response is that I could have jumped ship because of your vote. You're just going to have to trust me that your vote didn't scare me that much.

[SwitchedFromStarcraft]

It's town.  Lay off him.  Let's move onward.

Vote:Popsofctown for being Galzria-Confident on steroids, to the point of trying to stifle conversation.

Pops, was your comment about laying off me, or Galzria?

RAARRRGGGGHHHHH, I SHALL MURDER THEE IN THY SLEEP STARCRAFT!@!

Owait, I'm not mafia.

But that was actually a reference to Mafia-III, where Galzria was an extremely confident townie. But as Mafia III is still in play I wasn't really supposed to make that reference in the first place.
