Responding to the thread as I go, so bear with me.
I don't understand why people get on Storr for hating the joke vote stage. It really does kinda blow. Although reacting that way does drive people out of that phase, it seems...
BAM! Overreaction to a simple vote onto him, X-Stor-X did not rage at 4 votes, Anark seems a bit edgy with a single vote on him on Day 1.
This shows you don't know Nark's playstyle. He's always like this. This also seems typical of your style to pick on someone for a small misinterpretation.
So where to cast my vote, jak, for his poor case on Nark, or Nark for his poor reaction on the poor case. vote jak this doesn't say Nark is blameless but I do believe that the origins of jak's case of Nark, are poor, and this does partially justify Nark's reaction.
And so I find this a little uncalled for. If we're going to have this much discussion on metagaming, we should actually, y'know, do it.
I think it's amazing anyone claims or gets lynched in these games, since it's apparently a crime to make the 3rd or 4th vote on someone. While yes, sometimes scum could bandwagon to get a quick lynch, I think often it's town who are just convinced by previous arguments on the person enough to want to see a claim. I mean isn't that the whole point of an argument is to convince other people to join you in voting that person? Sorry for the little rant, I'm just often afraid of voting for cases that I think have decent merit just because I know if I do that 2-3 times I'll get railroaded as a bandwagonner...
I agree with this in principle, though what happened on Storr was actually exceedingly fast.
In response to
this:
You're trying really hard to meta jonty here and you picked two really bad examples. I'll acknowledge that this isn't typical jonty style, but it's a larger contribution at this stage of the game than he typically offers. I've known him to make large post though, and typically those are in situations when he's got a beat on someone. I'd be careful before you start making such accusations. Also you picked terrible examples, as others have pointed out.
The case against me is indefensible, I accept it as a case, and would claim at L-2.
Though if he'll go with it, more power to him...

Regardless, I am sticking to my vote. Now, by being defensive of Jonty, could u all be part of the team to make this town mafia land? I will look back at Jonty other games and see if it is in fact a true statement. Vote stays.
...what?
I mean...what is right and wrong, anyway?
THE SECOND PART IS MY QUOTE THAT HE FAILED TO QUOTE CORRECTLY ffs are you not reading my posts????
my last post explained his post.
ignore that i wasn't reading your post correctly.
Lol.
I am not pushing for a lynch Day 1 like the real scum do, I am pushing for information that we can use in the night to better use any actions people may have to help town out better tomorrow.
Spiesr addressed this quote, but this goes both ways. You could be pushing for information on how best to use SCUM night actions, not just for the greater good. That makes it a null statement on its own, but calling it for town is the greater sin. Also, saying you don't want a lynch D1 is pretty scummy in general. I only vote No Lynch D1 if there's A LOT of info on the table (like mass claim D1, it's happened).
Hell, folks, lemme help you all out... Since most of you are being absolutely ridiculous, I will jump up and claim now... Guess what? I am a vanilla townie, and so not to quote my PM, I am a Peasant... That isn't what the title says, it mentions village... So, folks, way to out a Vanilla Townie!
...why again?
rishaed wrote:vote No lynch. The reasons are simple.
1. I have reason to believe both claims, and Jonty wouldn't be claiming a town vig this early, unless its a elaborate ploy by scum.
2. The night tonight will give us a lot of information. (How many killing factions and so on).
3. I don't know why Jak wants jonty to kill tonight. He has practically no information, and its worse than a mislynch, if he shoots wrong, because we don't get any voting information from it.
4. With two factions I don't know how many mislynches are available to town before they cannot win.
Why, when there's time to spare? As I said, I need a lot of info on the table to advocate D1 No Lynch, but this ain't it.
And yet I'm shocked ho many people went for it...
Just noticed Lootifer's vote is still being counted.
Unvote Personally, I remove votes of and on those replacing in. That's just me.
I don't understand RD's play. She addresses only a limited (and sometimes immediate to her) scope of things, and then when called for it, she pulls the martyr card? At the same time, though, I'd argue exactly what Storr constantly advocates: giving reads.
Never played with her but she appears to have had some decent activity in the CC mafia forum 5-6 years ago and has just recently returned. So, I think she should have knowledge of the basic terminology but perhaps its not quite like riding a bicycle.
The game here has evolved greatly in the past 5-6 years. As someone who watched the culture develop, I can say the acronyms and jargon we use now would be very out of place back when.
On controlling jonty: As you can see, that relies on jonty cooperating. I despise when someone tries to dictate PRs anyway (Rodion is usually the most guilty of this).
So, after all of that...
1. I believe jonty. We play to have fun. We have fun the longer we play. We play longer by playing better. We play better by trying to improve. We try to improve by changing our meta. This shouldn't be a reason for voting. Maybe warning would be good, or subtle changes would help, but even so he should not be derided for it.
2. I don't like the way Nark claimed. He also seems to have disappeared a bit, which seems a little sketchy. That said, it's not like he's going to try the same trick and hope it works the opposite way. Right? ...right?
3. I'm disappointed how many people voted No Lynch. Take some risks, dammit. Don't play not to lose.
4. I'm going to put this day out of its misery.
Vote Roger Dodger. Because
a. Her posts have been very narrow, as I noted.
b. She's basically devolved into trolling with the comments she's making
c. It's gonna happen in about 9 hours anyway.
