QuadrAlien: *Okay. Agentcarr's technically voting No-lynch, but I'm fairly certain that's a formatting issue. :P
Yeah, sure, whatever...

I was actually trying to vote no-lynch without anyone noticing, and now you've ruined it!!! ;P

avatar
HypersomniacLive: For someone accusing me of paying little attention to the game, after saying that you went back and reread my posts, you're doing a rather poor job yourself, especially since you don't seem to have other issues distracting you from it.
Because I didn't seem to see the questions in your posts?

avatar
HypersomniacLive: ...but apparently it is you who missed my follow up question to him on the matter – would you like to go back and do another re-read, or should I just point you to my post, just to make sure you won't miss it? Here, let me help you out – post #469.
Alright. Let's go back to Post #469 and try to find your follow-up question to him.

avatar
HypersomniacLive: Why does this feel like more bait?
This must be a rhetorical question. Should he have answered this one?

avatar
HypersomniacLive: Perhaps it sounds like utter nonsense because others are not saying what you want them to?
Or maybe he should have answered this rhetorical question.

avatar
HypersomniacLive: Did you just find a universal translator lying around here somewhere?
And I hope that you didn't expect him to answer this question, though he actually did.

avatar
HypersomniacLive: He's not? Then why is he #4 in your MOST suspicious to LEAST suspicious list? Or were you perhaps not truthful about it, and just doing some more baiting and fishing?
So it must be this question that you thought was really important and that he didn't answer. I'll admit, I'm still not sure why he claimed to find me suspicious. Alright. There's one question that I can't find drealmer7's answer for. Let's ask again.

@drealmer7 - Why was I at #4 on your suspect list?

avatar
HypersomniacLive: As for badgering drealmer7 – I asked him two questions, early in the game, that was back in post #253.
Wrong, considering that I see six questions all from post #469, plus you only asked him one question in post 253.

avatar
HypersomniacLive: I did not get an answer, and I don’t believe it’s because he actually didn’t (still doesn’t?) understand them, to me it sounded like a lot of “don’t understand/don’t compute” RPing. If you’re seriously claiming that they’re so incomprehensible, even after going back and rereading my posts, then I’m sorry, but it sounds that you’re trying a little too hard to come up with arguments against me.
Perhaps it is roleplaying, to a certain extent, and I'm not claiming that their incomprehensible to me. However, in my first game, I remember that I was a little overwhelmed with all the lingo that flies around in here, and I wasn't even participating, just reading. However you never rephrased, or re-asked, simply kept pointing him back at your original post.

avatar
HypersomniacLive: First off, did I partake in the game after my post #1070, going on about other things while leaving your post unanswered? I believe I have not, so saying that I ignored you is a false statement
Not what I said. I said you ignored QuadrAlien's post. You didn't mention his Post 1039 and you still don't seem to have read it.

avatar
HypersomniacLive: As for the mod’s assertion and his post #1039 – what issue exactly is that? It reads to me that the issue is that those with the term “Station” in their PM were quick to overlook/dismiss the OP Role Example at best, and use it as evidence for a player’s guilt at worst, plus some not getting the difference, which apparently made them also suspect.
As I said already, if there’s an oversight/mistake by the mod somewhere in all this, then I’d appreciate it if he came out and clarified.
Let me quote from post 1039.

avatar
QuadrAlien: my confidence in my modding ability is still a bit shaken after seeing this issue appear. (Should have given it another day for a re-read...)
"My confidence in my modding ability is still a bit shaken after seeing this issue appear." Whatever the issue is, it's obviously not intentional. Why exactly would the 'issue' he's referring to be that the players are eager to lynch for PM differences? That's perfectly normal in Forum Mafia and it's not a mod problem. If the issue was that some players were quick to overlook/dismiss the OP Role Example, then it would have been a really bad move to say anything publicly. We would have (mis)lynched someone, and then learned the hard way. Which is how Forum Mafia is supposed to work.
As I read it, especially with his assertion that he should have given it another re-read, the issue is that he didn't finish properly formatting all of the PMs.


HSL, I'm sorry that I phrased that the way I did, about your life not being a good excuse. Yes, I'm still in school, and I am busy pretty much all the time, to the point of catching up on this thread while walking between classes, but I have to remind myself that others don't have the same priorities that I do.
For me, this game is a relaxation and a way to get away from life, like you said, so I make time to play. If you can't, then I can understand that, I just need to remind myself.
I do hope that whatever it is turns out well.


avatar
CarrionCrow: Anyone who has a problem with that is shit out of luck, since it's not their game to run.
That feels very pointed...

avatar
HypersomniacLive: <snip>
We do appreciate that you're warning us and not just dropping off the face of the planet. But we're frustrated because replacement throws off the impressions that we've been building up to now. You should be able to appreciate that.


For everyone's information, HSL is at L-5, with HijacK wanting to hammer.
avatar
dedoporno: I believe this is obvious. I can't tell for Krypsyn but Trent said that his vote is mostly (just like mine) based on gut feeling and your game feeling a bit off. This reasoning isn't strong enough to hold water under normal circumstances and I expected your defense to be a lot better, yet it wasn't.

[...]
No. In the post where he placed his vote, he claimed that I've been inconsistent.
When I asked him to point out the alleged inconsistencies, he took that claim back.
This tells me that his initial claim about me being inconsistent was a poor attempt to appear voting for me on more than a gut feeling. Why try to make it more than that, if that was indeed all there was to it?
And now that I think about it, and given that his post #1119 was a reply to Krypsyn, it might even had been an attempt to gain some (further?) town-credit by claiming to see what another confirmed does, or worse.
I would have addressed him differently if he had said from the start that it's just a feeling, but he didn't, and none of the above cases do him any favours.


avatar
dedoporno: [...]

See? That's better!

[...]
What's not better though is that you avoided to answer my question to demonstrate what a better defence would have been according to your standards.


avatar
dedoporno: [...]

I didn't. If you go back just a couple of posts back and read carefully you'll see that I didn't want to vote for you over just gut feelings and wouldn't do so until the deadline. Then you said you've asked for a replacement.

[...]
i know you didn't vote, and that you only expressed the intention of doing so. What I'm asking you is why state that you did.


avatar
dedoporno: [...]

As far as I'm concerned you and Ix are right next to each other. If you weren't getting a replacement and there were others who would join me I think I'd go for him first. But in this situation I believe this is the better approach. Considering the possibility of not having too much to go over and knowing your flip, Ix will still be there in the morning.

[...]
I've already explained this, yet you seem determined to twist it. I said that depending on how things go, I may have to ask for a replacement. I also made it public that in that light, I've asked the mod to be ready as to not waste any time if it comes to that. And yes, I've not ruled out that it may come to that, in which case the sooner the replacement takes over the better.
I could have not said anything, lay low waiting for your attention to shift elsewhere (I have to say it again, it works wonderfully), and then just spring it on you. That would have been a lot effortless and stress-free for me. But I didn't. Apparently being honest and forthcoming gets an appreciation-lynch?


Not sure what more I can say, if you (general/plural) can justify that I'm the scummiest, then go ahead, but know that you're wrong, and that it will come with a price; hopefully you are prepared to pay it.
avatar
HypersomniacLive: I say yes, my lynch will do us a big disservice, and in more ways than one. A lynch can be harmful or double harmful for town; one does whatever they can to prevent the latter, but sometimes things may no longer be in one’s hands when it finally comes to that.
What do you mean by double harmful for town? Or you a lover or double voter?
avatar
HypersomniacLive: When I asked him to point out the alleged inconsistencies, he took that claim back.
Are you sure you are linking to the correct post? I fail to see anything taken back here.



avatar
HypersomniacLive: What's not better though is that you avoided to answer my question to demonstrate what a better defence would have been according to your standards.
Well, what did you expect? To make your play for you? I hope not.



avatar
HypersomniacLive: i know you didn't vote, and that you only expressed the intention of doing so. What I'm asking you is why state that you did.
I don't see any useful purpose on trying to put words into my mouth so I'll assume I'm just doing a bad job in explaining what I meant. Let my try again.

I said I won't vote for you on just a gut feeling before the deadline hits. When the time comes I would vote for you to secure a lynch. In #1161 I said that I feel better not for voting for you earlier (as in earlier than originally stated). Does that make sense now?

Now this kind of drives things to a place that I don't really like being in. I actually thought about how to word things before placing the vote and considered asking Quad officially whether or not you are being replaced. Then it occurred to me that this is a dickish question because it suggests that I doubt your replacement request and in extension your reasoning for it. Even though I've seen real life problems being used as a way to fight off pressure and/or excuse lurking (in some cases it worked quite well) I am nowhere near being that big of a dick to even consider this as a play rather than taking it at face value.

So, everything after that (at least from my side of things) was based on the fact that we have pretty much nothing, I feel your game is off, it seems other feel the same way so there might be something there, you are looking for a replacement, which will only complicate things if we are to go through with working on your "character" and deadline is in a couple of days.

Alright. Let's go back to Post #469 and try to find your follow-up question to him.

And I hope that you didn't expect him to answer this question, though he actually did.

So it must be this question that you thought was really important and that he didn't answer. [...]
I've made a note for the next game you and I play in, to consult with you beforehand, so I only ask the questions you deem as important; heavens forbid I should dare to ever subject you again to the frustration of reading through things that are beneath your intellect.

I was referring to only post #253, so you should go back and read again. And I saw no need to re-phrase and play his silly game, everyone and their cat had already linked him the relevant MafiaWiki pages. If he couldn't be bothered to check that out and reply (btw, linking to the initial post counts as re-asking, but thanks for pretending that it doesn't just to make a deal out of it), then I will conclude that he chooses to ignore the questions. After all, he made it quite clear he's addressing only whatever he thinks is relevant to him, and only took it back when JMich pointed out to him how bad that looks.

Yes, I read it, and whether a bad or not move, it was his to decide and make. PM differences seem to be a common reason to point fingers and lynch, and there may be a mismatch in PM formats, that may or may not be intentional. But that still doesn't explain why the OP Role Example is what it is, and no-one's given me a satisfactory explanation to that. Did he also miss/fail to format that properly? Seems that the mod did a piss-poor job for the time it took him to get the game started, if that's what you're saying. But if it's not and he didn't, then what does the difference between some PMs and the OP Role Example mean?

Your shitty link is indicative.
Not the mod, so this is of course just an unofficial toss-in from the peanut gallery, but last vote count was #1130:

Ixamyakxim: 3 (HypersomniacLive, Vitek, yogsloth)
Vitek: 3 (Crewdroog, Ixamyakxim, drealmer7)
HypersomniacLive: 2 (Krypsyn, trentonlf)
yogsloth: 1 (RWarehall)
crewdroog: 1 (HijacK)
agentcarr16: 1 (CarrionCrow)
drealmer7: 1 (Jmich)
trentonlf: 1 (flubbucket)

Not voting: mchack, agentcarr16*, dedoporno

___________________________________


Only changes I see are these:

HSL: (3) Krypsyn, Trent, +Ix, +dedo, -Trent
Crew: (0) Hijack, -Hijack
Though Ix never technically unvotes Vitek, but I'll assume his HSL vote counts as an Vitek unvote.

So result seemingly is:

Ixamyakxim: 3 (HypersomniacLive, Vitek, yogsloth)
HypersomniacLive: 3 (Krypsyn, Ixa, dedo)
Vitek: 2 (Crewdroog, drealmer7)
yogsloth: 1 (RWarehall)
agentcarr16: 1 (CarrionCrow)
drealmer7: 1 (Jmich)
trentonlf: 1 (flubbucket)

Not voting: mchack, agentcarr16*, trent, hijack

Closest to lynch, tied, are Ixamyakxim and HSL at L-6 each.

Again? Now this starts to seem deliberate and frankly, annoying. Let me use your ways here. Where did I claimed I missed a "not"?

For the very last time - Initially I didn't wan to vote for you before the deadline hits. In the end I had reasons (as flimsy as they are) to vote for you earlier than the original intended time, meaning - right then and there. If anything, I could have finished the sentence with "than the deadline".

Is it clear now or would you like to re-ask?


avatar
HypersomniacLive: I resent that too, it's actually what I took offence with in agentcarr16's post #1123.
Resent as much as you like. If you read my paragraph carefully you'll see that I stated I refuse to take your real life stuff for anything other than what it is and have based everything on that being true and you seeking replacement. My conscience is clean. You might want to check yours though, considering you practically tried to make it look like I calling you on you RL issues. This is not nice, to say the least.
avatar
HypersomniacLive: He's not? Then why is he #4 in your MOST suspicious to LEAST suspicious list? Or were you perhaps not truthful about it, and just doing some more baiting and fishing?
avatar
agentcarr16: So it must be this question that you thought was really important and that he didn't answer. I'll admit, I'm still not sure why he claimed to find me suspicious. Alright. There's one question that I can't find drealmer7's answer for. Let's ask again.

@drealmer7 - Why was I at #4 on your suspect list?
---- NOT RP------

Again, everyone, I am really sorry my flavorings caused confusion. I wasn't baiting and fishing, I was playing/adding flavor, not realizing that it wasn't good for the game and that it just causes confusion. I've since stopped all behavior/flavorings that can be misunderstood as to my intention, I hope. That is why I didn't answer it/called it irrelevant, because it didn't actually pertain to the meat of the game, it was just flavoring fluff that was confusing and I tried to drop it, not realizing that not addressing it was also an issue.

I understand that it can make me look suspicious to do this/be suspicious to do this, and it is not what I was trying to do. I simply didn't realize it at the time all the implications (yes, great excuse for me if I'm an intruder, but I'm not, just a newbie who played the game a bit wrong at the beginning.)

Agentcarr16 has a few flavor in his posts , and [url=http://www.gog.com/forum/general/forum_mafia_31_crisis_at_space_station_epsilon/post85]this and this and I was simply playing along. "Fidgeting nervously" and "uncomfortable with the attention" were things I "played" with, because when someone does those things, it normally draws suspicion (which he knew, which is why he did it, because he was having fun, and I understood that and meant to have fun with it too.) I was playing with the flavor he provided and put him in my suspicion list accordingly even though I didn't actually find him suspicious. I mixed the "playing" with the "serious deducing" and confused everyone else. I tried to correct that as soon as I noticed it was happening and I'm very sorry for the confusion.

That is why I blatantly said "he's not" suspicious when re-asked why I thought he was. I hoped that would clear it all up. Again, sorry.

Anything else I can do to alleviate the confusion, please, let me know. I totally understand all of that being not-cool, and that it possibly draws me into higher suspicion, and I just have to deal with that at this point and hope you all can believe me that I just messed up with how I was playing. Of course I also have to contend with scum using all of this to their advantage and getting the rest of town against me thinking I'm devious or whatever else. Whatever. WIFOM WIFOY WIFOM at this point. So use your best judgement is all I can say.

------- BACK TO CHARACTER-------


I do wonder if HSL understood all of this and was simply using it as a way to cause more confusion and muddle things and do what intruders do.

HSL, I think I answered all of your questions, if I didn't, please just ask me again. If you don't ask me again and instead are focused on "well I asked you here and you dodged here and you're playing a game and why can't you answer me and on and on", it really just seems like you're trying to be antagonistic and muddle everything rather than figure things out. Just ask me what you want to know if I didn't address it well enough/at all.

With all of this, HSL is certainly still not in my top 4 of likely suspects (more like number 7 or 8?) and I do not wish to eliminate him simply because of the replacement issue or misunderstandings we've had, it's simply not strong enough at all.
So, anyone else think this A.I. is intentionally experimenting on us like rats in a box, just watchign and waiting for it to get tense enough that we start to eat each other?

Madness has taken over Q.U.A.D. and the entire station, I tell you!
