DoubleDown Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 All I've done is point out why people may think his behavior may be suspicious, I certainly haven't gone after him. Although the problem here is your entire post seems a bit contradictory. You're backing up JVOR because he's trying to stir up conversation in one breath, but in the next you're suspicious of me for that same reason? That seems incredibly inconsistent to say the least. Meanwhile a number of other players have remained almost entirely silent (yourself included) and remain unquestioned as they look to skate through day one. Yet so far, the only information we've really seem to have gotten is the same we had when a few people first started posting, that it seems like there are some weird requirements for some player's posting. Like I said, call it a hunch. JVOR put himself out there as an easy target from the onset, and you cautiously took the bait. A little too cautiously...something like a mafia member would do. You didn't want to join the bandwagon, but you're looking to bring him down in a subtle way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 What are we to make of this? Especially in bold. Did somebody say Columbo??? Well I think the bolded part is designed to explain the strange posting actions of players like CTM. He's taking his role too seriously in that regardless of the situation, he's compelled to continue with his dumb jokes. The reference to Columbo also certainly supports what multiple people have already said which is the game isn't "muppets only", which would make sense considering the broadness of the title of this mafia game. I would guess Columbo is probably one of the players in the game and probably is the player with the cop role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also true, but Jvor has done similiar. Now JVor has tied me and Bleedin together.. Part of me thinks they both may be scum.. Why did Bob take his magic beans to the ballpark? He wanted to see the Giants play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious question then, what should have I done that would have been more appropriate? Do I completely ignore what had been going on in the thread up to the point that I came up and don't address anything or should I have gone after JVOR full force right off the bat and try to take him down despite not really being convinced of much of anything yet? Because apparently, taking a middle of the road approach is what's so suspicious, so players should only act in extremes? Honestly, players impulsively acting in extremes is what typically gets things moving in favor of the mafia early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, people who are trying to make solid cases at this early juncture seem the most suspicious to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cases must be made in order for a decision to come down. I think this third person business is more annoying them my joke telling But I agree, cases being made, however weak, is how conversations starts and cases are made stronger. There's competing theories here, you have to be a ballsy player with a mafia role to come out guns blazed cause you draw immediate attention to yourself. Many players with scum roles either hide in the background completely OR in order to avoid looking suspicious for not participating they post a lot without really saying much.

Your posts simply didn't strike me the right way...like you are going with the flow of drawing suspicion on someone, but not trying to stick out. At this point in the game, putting down some votes and looking for reactions is the best way to come to conclusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time JVoR came out guns blazing. Vicious believe he is being over-active. Initially Vicious was a little weary of JVoR but as soon as BG jumped in it seemed he was trying to deflect blame back towards JVoR. Walking a neutral path is key when you can present a friendly face and plan attacks behind people's backs. The first vote is always difficult. We dont' want to do the mafia's work for them. That is what they want, and that is why Vicious feels that deflecting blame and trying to create a bandwagon effect is the work of scum.

We need 9 votes. Right now, I think we gain the most knowledge by voting for one of the three: JVOR - Most vocal, no obvious day role... CTM - Obvious day role, learn what the day role means. Viscious - Obvious day role, same as CTM. BG has two votes, and very well may be guilty, but I'm not sure if we'd learn anything about the game with votes for him. I am not defending him at all, and think he's similar to JVOR, but not AS out there with his opinions. I know, like his football posts, he talks too much.
