So Sis can post whatever she wants as long as a "squeek" is posted first and her comments are in ()'s? SQUEEK (Got it in one) I ain't buying it. How many people can I vote at once? SQUEEK (Voting based on post restriction or claimed post restriction isn't bad as a Day One voting stratagem, I guess, but only because it's just as weak as most Day One votes.)

I'll say this once, then I'm ignoring every other post on the matter.... Marcel, it's a costumed game.... lighten up... don't take yourself so seriously.... and the fact that you would use something so incredibly meta as justification for a vote does not speak well of your prowess as a mafia player... you're better than that... knock it off... :: Double takes at the raccoon, having an incredible vague sense that he has seen him somewhere before.... in a previous life, perhaps. :: :: Then ponders what the Native American era raccoon is doing with a modern day Ammo can. (Or is that possibly a geocache?!) ::

Hoo boy. This is going to be interesting.
I will probably make a bunch of in-character comments here and there for the sake of fun (although, let's face it; I sound like everyone else). But for the record: I have no posting restriction of any kind.
More in a bit.

<font style="font-size: 12px;">Chitter chitter chitter... ::nods in understanding:: Little Indian Girl: What's that Meeko? You understand your post restriction now? You're a raccoon and had to enlist the help of a little indian* girl so that the white men** can understand you? I'll be happy to help! * or Native American if you prefer ** or woman, doctor, robot, or physical embodiment of the concept of mortality as it applies to vermin.... if you prefer [ooc] OK, for the record, I find a Meeko-from- Pocahontas mod-enforced posting restriction to be more believeable than one that required you to somehow talk like actual-player-Meeko, which is what I was thinking earlier. Carry on. [/ooc] <font style="font-size: 12px;">
Excuse me, ah, Mr. Corinthian, I believe. Yes, you see, I've been thinking, and there's just this one thing that's been bothering me. It's probably nothing, but maybe you can help me out. I understand you when you say you're just "priming the pump"--I understand that, I do--but why Nakor, specifically?
For complaining about the lack of scum hunting while not actually contributing to the hunt. I read it as the "I can't tell who's scummy amongst all this noise!" kind of scenario. It looks impressive, but it doesn't actually get anything accomplished. Wait! deja vu. Someone already said this. Who could that have been? Yes, you're very smart, now shut up. ...wait, wrong character... I did, in fact, have a follow-up question, regarding Rorschach. I noted that he seemed to have done something similar: he responded to a serious discussion--one which you say was about wanting to find scum--without adding any actual content himself. I was just curious if you simply didn't see it that way, or if you just felt the reason for voting for Nakor was stronger. It's probably nothing important, but I just wanted to ask, all the same.

<font style="font-size: 12px;"> Oh really? Now I'll give him the penetrating look, see if he shows any cracks. I won't tell him that to me, it only looks like a complaint. I can see the basis for the vote, barely, but only if I stand on my head and squint. You're stretching, dream boy. I have my eyes on you. (Some expansion on that to accomodate my -- nphase's -- wordiness: you appear to be arguing that Cookies might have made this post to look like she was contributing when she really wasn't, but this doesn't strike me as that sort of post -- a complaint about other people's posts being difficult to understand doesn't fit neatly into the category of trying to appear as more than it is, IMO, which makes this vote a stretch to me. I'll agree with the fact that it is fairly thin, but most seem to be playing the "Oooo look at my new hat" game. So like I said I'm priming the pump, which means picking the scummiest thing I can find and voting for it. It might pale in relative scumminess to what appears in later days, or even later toDay, but IMO the only way to get people to play the game is to play the game yourself (Too many people play reactively and are afraid to get the ball rolling). I also don't understand your purpose in wanting to discuss unifying characteristics for the mafia, either -- the last game might have had such a thing, but it was nothing that could ever be detected by the town players, hence nothing that could have generated any light if discussed. Where are you going with this?) I'm going towards any destination that will bring peoples' attentions to more game relevant things, the discussion that it might spawn might be meaningless as anything but a segue to a more fruitful discussion, but I'm okay with that.

Actually, my point in repeating myself was to state my reasoning to the (what's the opposite of astute, but not rude?) detective there. Also, it's not really twisting your words. I've explicitly stated that is how I'm interpreting your post, why? Because that's how it reads to me, plain and simple. Others may agree or disagree with my opinion, but that's how I see it. You have brought up how frustrating it would be to hunt scum when people are posting in character, and how it's not what you expected in the game. It's a fluffy post (since it's really meaningless, due to the fact that it applies only to your own personal preference) and it's contrary to your stated goal, which is to hunt scum, which by it's nature fluff is the opposite of hunting scum. Funny how your interpretation seems to have now evolved from me "complaining that no one is hunting scum". Further, my posts have not been fluff and do not only apply to my personal preferences. They apply to the personal preferences of anyone who might choose to self-impose an in-character persona, and how they might choose to impose it. ... That's actually the destination I'm going for too. You may have more success reaching your destination by not voting for people also trying to get there.

I suppose we could discuss the possibilities of who might have shared goals, and like every discussion it could be a fruitful discussion, but I doubt our illustrious moderator would make things that easy.) Maybe Scummyboots and the Scot--that's my favorite show! What Day was that? Squeek? (Well, I'm lost. And yet I feel as though I should be able to identify this game just from that descriptor.)

To all of you folks who supposedly have posting restrictions: what sort of sanctions are you subjected to if you don't:
squeek () :: :: talk to girls chitter ??
This all appears to me to be a smokescreen.
vote Meeko/Paul. His post restriction is the dopiest so far. Not that Ed's, Sis's or the other Meeko/Marcel's is any better.
None of you appear to be really restricted from posting whatever you want. Nor do you appear limited in what you can post. I am left to wonder; what is the point?

It may be interesting to note which way players with posting restrictions flip when dead. Could mean nothing, or could mean a lot. Or it could mean a mix of both depending on who's being flipped. I am also curious to see what information, if any, is included in death-flips about restrictions.
