Idle Thoughts, Day One

I honestly don't know why I play in these games anymore. They seem to get stupider and stupider. I don't know what it is with players nowadays but they pull shit that could NEVER be pulled, say, a year or two ago.

People are voting just because I COULD be a scummy version of the Hacker. Does that make any sense at all?

It's like lynching a claimed detective/cop, in a game, just because they COULD be lying. You just don't do it. It's not worth it for Town. I swear, it seems people in these games are becoming more and more foolish (heh, I hesitated using the word "stupid" here).

Seriously, it would not surprise me in the least to see a future game where people vote for a claimed Cop just because they could be lying..whereas back in the day, that shit would never fly. It would be seen as SUSPICIOUS to keep a vote on a claimed cop. These days, it's like, everyone does it.


Hell, I just played in a game on Giraffeboards where--I kid you not--I got FOUR VOTES on Day One JUST BECAUSE I DIDN'T CLAIM. Can you believe that? Their reasoning? Well, because I didn't claim, I MUST be scum, because all the games I've ever claimed before, I was Town in.
Does that make --ANY-- sense to you, at all? Yeah, me either! Yet they got away with it, without question from any other player, for MOST of the Day! I was forced to claim ANYWAY on Day one or face lynching.

And this wasn't newbie players...these were regular players like we've always had. It just seems the game's players have been really dumbing down lately. They vote for you for extremely stupid and weak reasoning and they're allowed to get away with it.
And now Town is about to lose (what I think) is a pretty good Town role. I gotta tell you, Pleo, if Town is freaking stupid enough to vote on me, despite the claim, just for the weak-ass reasoning that I "COULD BE" the scummy version of that role...then they deserve to lose.
I swear, I think I'll root and hope for the SCUM to win in this game if I get lynched toDay.


Sorry for the rant, and I'd understand if you didn't reply (because you probably wouldn't want to take the chance I'd then post the PM in there)...but I wouldn't if you did.
I'm just fed up with this game. I think I'll stick to modding and not playing.

But seriously, two or three people are voting on me just on the basis alone that that role could be scummy.

Seems to me it COULD be Town too, so that should make it even out...but noooo, they're just putting faith in the "It could be scum" side and ignoring the "It could be Town" side.


Oh and another thing, I'm getting sick and tired, too, of this "You keep repeating the same stuff, so you must be scum" reasoning too. I've had this pulled on me in the last two games (before this one), too. How, since I repeat the same things, the same way, must mean I'm reading from some sort of script.

"Scum would never ever do that" is a BAD habit to get into.
By the same reasoning "Town would never ever do that" is ALSO a bad habit to get into. Works both ways.
Yes, scum WOULD do that, because they think you think they wouldn't and yes, Town MIGHT do that, because how many times has one said "Town would never do that" as a reason to vote and OOP, they're Town in the end!

Shitty, amateur reasoning.

Normal Phase, Day Two

I can't believe the silence. I almost want to do something suicidal (demand that Inner Stickler reveal his mason partner, in order to relieve a particular bit of paranoia of mine (IS plus peeker as scum)) just to shake things up. What the heck do you do with a situation like this? I can hope the silence is because all the mafia (often though not always conversation/vote drivers) are under suspicion and hence too paranoid to post until the townies start stirring things up on their own, but surely that's too much to ask for.

Regardless, the game deserves better.

Normal Phase, Night Two

That is quite possibly the most inexplicably dumb thing I've ever done in a mafia game. I really don't know if I'd have chosen to change my vote to Hal, but not even realizing I had the option? What the hell was going on in my head?

But the thing is, I wasn't really uncertain about how it worked, the question was more rhetorical. I was sure I was right about how it worked. And I was. I just got it backwards. How did I get it backwards? I knew Mahaloth held the tie-breaker, I knew that Mahaloth was voting for Hal -- somehow I got from there to the tie lynching Mahaloth! Just a total, complete, utter brain fart. I am so ashamed of myself.

Idle Thoughts, Day Four

You have to admit, things REALLY SUCK for town right now, in your game.

We have not one, but two players who are AWOL. Don't get me wrong...I like Peeker and am very worried about him as he hasn't shown up to play in this game or the one on my boards (which he was also in)--so I hope he's all right---but that doesn't help the game state. He's just disappeared and NAF has made no uncertain terms clear that he's not going to be participating either. So that's TWO Town that are gone and won't be participating again. That's a pretty big blow to our side...and with your rule of never subbing, I'd say things looked grim.

Haha, listen to me...saying NAF is Town.
See, it's comments like that that people sometimes make--in game-- that get them into trouble.

I guess I just assumed he was Town since I have such a strong Town read on him. Obviously there's a chance he could be scum, so I realize you can't reply back saying anything to confirm or deny that there are ANY Town not active...but seriously...if they're both Town, it sucks for Town.
