Correct me if I'm wrong, but how is analyzing a vote wagon in any way related to communication between players? An analyze should be personal, you know? Unless you have a special interest in obtaining the sheep mentality that the scum achieved last game.

Where is the sheep mentality if we are discussing as a group what we think? If someone is telling everyone what to think and everyone chooses to follow that then there is sheep mentality, but otherwise we are trying to find the scum by discussing what we think. Are you saying you don't think we should discuss? Are you saying we should only go with our own thoughts and not consider what others have to say? If we analyze and express our thoughts we should catch the scum and win, why would you not want that?

Considering what others have to say and openly discussing an analysis are 2 entirely different things. Last game people openly discussed their thoughts, never kept an ace int heir sleeve and were always fooled by the goody 2 shoes attitude and manipulated into choosing wrong. Always. So excuse me if once again I am against an activity that will lead to the same results of last game.

If we all keep quiet and do not talk about opinions and reasons we feel a certain way, then we get no where. We need to talk or we are always going to be at a stand still.

Nobody said don't talk. I said an analysis should be personal, not group based. Get it now?

So you are saying you find it best to analyze and keep it to yourself? What are you planning on talking about it you are keeping your thoughts to yourself? Granted we do throw out a lot of chatter that is not game based, and that makes it more fun, but we do need to talk about the game too do we not.

Yeah. I said that. What's wrong with that? If you ask me, it actually helps more than it destroys. Allowing outer influences, mainly scum, to intervene and influence everyone's analysis is the worst thing you can do. Literally leads to sheep mentality. So just do what I do. Gather evidence and when you have something concrete expose it. This being said, I have already stated this more than in a couple of posts, yet you continue to ask the same questions. This is even more suspicious than dedo's prediction.

Lots and lots of activity this afternoon. I typed out several paragraphs about the hippie situation, then hit refresh before posting to see 3 posts, including hijack's answer. Which completely nullified what I had to say. My reason for yesterday's vote, fully explained in my non-post, was totally nullified as well.

unvote mrkgnao

I am in the midst of crazy-time at work. At one point I had a stack of files in front of me that was - literally - 2 feet high. I kept up with what has been posted since my almost-post, but my head is swimming and I need to think about the last few pages. (And catch up on a bit of sleep.) See you kids tomorrow.

I am trying to understand how exactly you intend on finding the scum by keeping your thoughts to yourself. Are you planning on sharing telepathically with the rest of us? After stating you were the only one who was capable of finding the scum, but not willing to share how is perplexing. So what should we do to determine your grand plan on finding the scum, just follow your lead? Oh wait, no can't do that as it would be a sheep mentality. You did the same thing with mrkgnao, he started questioning you and what do you know you vote for him. So now I start to question you and what do you know change the vote to me. So is your super secret plan on finding everyone to vote for the people who question you?

I don't understand how you think keeping information to yourself is going to find the scum. So yes, I will keep questioning you on that because it sounds like scum thinking.

Check the bold writing. How hard is that to understand? You know. Gathering of evidence instead of discussing stuff so every scum can see it and bend the situation to their will. Or didn't you get the part of exposing it? How I'm going to find the scum is only for me to care. After all, I joined this game as a challenge for me.

As for voting you, well, I find you suspicious, just like dedo and mrkgnao. Needless to say I just vote preemptively. My gathering of evidence is still i progress.

I guess that is the part that confuses me. This is a team game, not an individual game.

How exactly are we going to find the scum if all we are doing is sitting in our own little corners glaring at each other with mistrust. You say not to get the sheep mentality, yet in post 292 you say "Do what I do". You want people to post so you can "analyse" what they are saying, yet you don't want to discuss with anyone as to what you are thinking? If you want to try and play this as an individual game no one can stop you, but all you are doing is hurting the chances for the town to win. You need to be selfless not selfish.

Yes, because allowing the scum to see what you are thinking and allowing them to influence your mentality totally helps us! /end sarcasm

This prod has been brought to you by The Beach Boys. This isn't the original version they performed, but I like this one a little better; seems a little peppier.
