Oh, that was not a fun reread. Anyway, to business: I still don't like her slip-up, bit but -- unvote Cookies. I'm still keeping my eye on you, though...*does that annoying point-two-fingers-at-own-eyes-and-then-at- Cookies-and-then-back-and-forth-a-couple-of-times thing*. Now then, for the crimes of thread-distortion, making my headache much worse, and generally showing extremely questionable tactics throughout, I'm very happy to: vote uiJust as a point, are any of those "crimes" necessarily scummy? For instance, Roosh is as guilty of the first as he is, yet people are inclined to vote for him over Roosh. Questionable tactics isn't scummy either, per se, as well stated in the "a difference of strategy is not necessarily a scum tell" strategem. As for the headache, I can't blame you, but... oh well...

By the way, the easiest way to see any 'hidden text' is to be using a different skin. It's one of the options you can change with your profile.
See the 'meta-posting' forum for more info.
I'm likely to vote for ui/Badger as soon as I check the vote count on him.
I don't particularly like the rude welcome he's got from some people here, but in truth he isn't really helping the crew much. We also aren't likely to get another candidate, and I think there is a chance he's scum - more than Cookies, for sure.
I'm also not sure I like pygmy rugger's "one of 'em must be scum" argument either. It always seems scummy to me to try and strongly link two players together; except for Masons, all townies play (and die) alone.

Now then, for the crimes of thread-distortion, making my headache much worse, and generally showing extremely questionable tactics throughout, I'm very happy to: vote uiOh, no no no. You do NOT get to come in here like that. Those things I would do as either scum or town. And use specific cases. Right now this is a bandwagon vote of the highest order, and I don't like how it looks. 5 scum on my wagon. As a matter for posterity, can you enumerate who you think are the scum on your wagon, and possibly in a way other than "just gut". I want to add your Xi,j to my Xi,j . If you are truly town, then your goal, seeing your imminent lynch, should be to provide as much useful information as possible. Please maximize this opportunity.

snippped I don't understand. Why couldn't you just leave these "clues" you speak of in plain text? Concerning the content of said "clues", how did you draw said conclusion? It's useful for things like breadcrumbs and such, and it's banned on Misetings but not here, so I wanted to have some fun with them. If you are a vanilla townie you don't have any fucking breadcrumbs to leave! You wouldn't have any more information that the rest of us have. I'm quite happy with my vote.

A little late, but here is my color summary for Badger:
I'd color the relationship between Badger and Mal & the crew in the show as a "greed/hate" relationship (as opposed to love/hate with a bit of "always cover your ass" on both sides of the relations. Badger hires Mal and the crew to steal profitable goods in one episode, but refuses to pay for them because the goods end up being identifiably marked as rightfully belonging to the Alliance. Mal doesn't realize that the goods are marked until after the goods are already stolen and in the hold, and tries to exchange them for money from Badger anyway, otherwise he and his crew don't get paid or have to find another buyer (which is what they end up doing).
In a later episode, even though there are lingering tensions between them from the last time they tried to work together, Badger offers to cut Mal into another deal, this time smuggling. Badger doesn't think he can land the job by himself due to reputation reasons, and is also hesitant to have any of his ships directly linked to the smuggling if things go wrong. So he banks on the chance that Mal will be more successful at landing the job as an indirect “representative” of Badger’s, with Badger’s taking a finder’s fee of sorts. When things go somewhat wrong while negotiating with the merchant who wants to smuggle his goods (cows) due to Mal getting involved in a sword duel over Inara’s honor with an unrelated guy from the same planet as the merchant, Badger arrives at the ship with his good squad to make sure the crew doesn’t try and rescue Mal and risk exposing the entire operation, including Badger’s involvement.

I can't see any good reason for smearing the people who are voting for you, when you have no definite information on them. It's only reinforcing the idea that you're scum trying to create chaos. It's enough to convince me to vote.
By my reckoning, you're still one from lynch, even after this:
unvote Idle Thoughts vote ui (12)

Lots of things...some not about the game but since this is the only place where MOST EVERYONE will probably see it, here it goes. First, I have fixed two people's profiles that were messing up. This happens for a few reasons. First, once you put in the on or offline messages (or both) you need to go back to your profile sometimes and, in where your personal text is written, PUT A SPACE, between that and the custom on/offline message that is in brackets. Another way it could mess up is if YOU HAVE TOO LONG OF A PERSONAL TEXT MESSAGE. Trim it down or don't make your on/offline ones so long. In Roosh's case, it was the first. He must have added more elipses or changed something in his profile because a space had to go between his personal text and the custom onoff message. In BLAM's case it was the latter. Sorry, Blam, but your personal text was too long. Second, don't know what's up with the countdown. It DOES work, I know that, but it might not work if you have the wrong time set on the board. It certainly worked for me, so I have no idea why it was showing different times. I'll test it out. Please look for that topic in META GAMING. Okay game stuff. Yeah, panamajack, I did misread, I guess. But it didn't help that you said that and then voted for me in the same post. And there was another game thing I was going to say but I forgot was it was now. Man this topic is long. It's getting new posts every few seconds.

When I said 'smearing' above I meant 'randomly smearing', with a supposedly hidden 'breadcrumb'. (Which makes little sense - surely the scum know how many scum are on the list). If you'd backed it up with more information or names (aside from Hal) it might've made more sense.

What she's suggesting is that you, being claimed vanilla townie, don't have ANY breadcrumb-worthy information. You have no fonts of hidden knowledge. You have no ability to tell the town anything certain and unassailable. Therefore, your breadcrumbs are automatically moldy. Clear enough?

Blaster Master: You are calling out storyteller for "smudging", when you have repeatedly "smudged" me this entire game. You have provided no explaination for why you think I am scummy, but have used many of your posts to drop my name in there with others who you also think are scummy. I asked you yesterDay to give me an explaination of my scumminess, and you have not. Would you care to now? Or will I need to ask again toMorrow?

I haven't called you out for 'being defensive.' I haven't even suggested it. Calling me out as scum, and then making statements to seem as If I'm the cause of the Dotchan lynch and then STATING that I seemed "Quick to respond" and "that I tried to shift the blame off of just myself" is considered Defensive to me. You come out with an out of nowhere accusation, and put me on the defensive to start with, then you start your questioning, and mostly just assuming points in the manner I acted. And then you take notice of the way I hastily respond back to you? That's taking issues with my being defensive because you PUT me in such a position. No gathering of data or questioning my methods or thoughts. Just a simple "You're Scum." "here's why." And if I hadn't constantly explained why your actions make sense as scum and asked for/stated that I don;t see how your actions make sense for town, you might have a point. This is because you refuse to believe the idea that a Townie could suggest an idea that could possibly be unhelpful to the town. As long as you believe that this is NOT possible, and there is always a scummy ulterior motive, then I cannot defend such a statement. It's similar to a creationistic arguement, where If i cannot disprove the existance of God, I cannot make any valid points against you. I'm pretty sure that I asked where my logic breaks down multiple times and people only responded to side-issues.. Again, it cannot be disproven if you create an irrevokable hypothesis: "Roosh Is scummy because I think he's scummy" defended by: "His behavior at the start of Day one looks scummy. Ignoring all other Data, or future behavior, but only considering his FIRST proposal (One that ONLY SCUM would ever make), he is scum." So why is roosh scum? "Because Day 1 he said something that ONLY SCUM WOULD SAY" If I can't prove that a townie person would put forth an idea, then well, I can't defend or hope to have a chance. And if anyone questions you on why your behavior towards me is special (such as in the Why me over Cat Question, I believe you did answer it) "Because Roosh is Scum" That's your answer. Roosh is scum, because you say Roosh is scum, because you believe roosh is scum. Because you believe NO Townie person would ever say anything that novel. That's prettty much your reasoning every time as to why a behavior is specialized towards me and not to another player. I'm never going to convince you that you're scum, after all. No, but you could help me concede that my behavior could be seen as scummy. I would certainly acknowledge such a thing if it was presented as such. I did so on Day 1. I admitted my ideas were bad, and that I hoped that they would not continously be held against me every day by a different player just trying to get me lynched. Because it would be very easy to do so. Good to know you wanted to do just that though. I have conceded it was scummy. You mean, "Roosh is scum, Cat is likely scum, Cookie is almost guaranteed town, mhaye is probably town, oh, and I think that there are fundamental problems in how the game is played here." That's nothing? What's your evidence? What your basis of thoughts for it? Saying stuff without anything behind it isn't great at all. It just creates WIFOM until death. You need to defend arguements, and learn to PRESENT them as well. Not just hide them in corners and hope that we believe you're completely 100% correct. No, I'm pretty sure that if I die and you get lynched, I just went 1-1 with the scum. And if people take the rest of my advice, fewer townies will die and more scum will. Well you didnt. As for your advice, it's pretty much summing up that if we kill all the crew, eventually we'll hit some that are scum! I dislike that arguement. Because what evidence do we have that Scum are in the Crew? Yes, there could be one or two in there, I do concede that Point to you, and I will be wary of it in the future. But I will not go around blinding killing Suspicious crew members just for your gut feelings and what you believe JSexton to be capable of. Here's the thing I don't get. Why SHOULD we believe you? So far all you've stated is WHY I'm Scummy for your own feelings, and because "Roosh said something that only scum would say". But now... if we just WIFOM'ed it, this could easily be an easy thing to twist around: If you were scum, you could potentially KNOW that none of the crew roles were Scummy, wouldn't you want to advocate your position as well? That you shouldn't trust teh crew? And just pit Crew vs. Crew then in the end? That's my problem for you. It's all been HERE'S why Roosh is scummy. Let's ignore why I, Ui, am presenting such an arguement, because we want to catch Scum. Look at the shiny Scum! Look DAMMIT I SAID LOOK AT HIM! We haven't questioned you at ALL for your motives and ideas. And that's what bothers me. You haven't shown why your actions make sense as town. I have explained why your actions make sense as scum. You have NO RIGHT to discount my case because "posts were lost." You have NO RIGHT to say "Sigh... if only you had known" when you weren't showing it. Well, equally then you have no right to say why my actions don't make sense for Town. Because you have no idea WHAT I'm thinking. Just because your basic premise is simply "NO ONE BUT SCUM WOULD EVER SAY THIS" that kinda makes it irrefutable. You refuse to even try to look for examples of why a townie would suggest an idea, or even why someone would propose an idea. Which either makes me think: You've got SEVERE Tunnel vision. Or it's REALLY Scummy because hell as I said above. What's your motive for rehashing it without trying to consider ANY other alternatives: 1. You wanted to distract the town. 2. You wanted to shit upon the idea so much that It'd never be considered again. By only stating that you could have only had one of those two options, I make it irrefutable, and you cannot defend. Because you are scum. Scum would only have those two reasons for doing it. I don't know my logical fallacies or anything like that, but I can see bullshit when it's right there in front of me like that. *and I believe somewhere you pointed out that I still gave validity to my ideas on Day 2 or something like that * That's ONLY when others brought them up. If you check my early posts I did NOT start off with trying to bring up my conceded ideas. However, if others stated opinions and such on it, I would certainly clarify it, because it WAS my idea to begin with. So again, Just because some one else brings it up, and I respond, doesn't mean I'm pushing my idea. I'm responding to it. I will not let open questions and opinions sit there. and I certainly will not hold my opinions to myself. If anything, I try to explain every action i take. I LIKE leaving a papertrail, I find it very helpful, and that's why I dislike lurkers. I want plenty of info upon my death. Every vote of mine has my thoughts, every pre-vote has my suspicions and why I am leaning either this way or the other. So that when in teh end if i do die during the night, there is a plethora of data to see on what side of ALL the issues I stand. In a perfect game, I'd love to have EVERY Player have this, because then Scum cannot lynch the "least suspicious" people ie: the Lurkers. The scum will have to choose a target, and that target will have plenty of paper trails, and plenty of things to trace back. So there will be evidence. Hard evidence. Day 1 and 2 it's not really all that possible to do so, that's why I don't like to examine "Why did so and so die during the night" but after a few days, yes, It's quite useful to go back and look at them. That's how I play, I will always show my thoughts my reasonings and where i lean on every issue. So if someone has questions even if its on an old idea, I will state what I feel upon the matter. ~Because my brain is fried, and I like this analogy~ Just because I like bananas, doesn't mean YOU have to eat bananas. I'm just telling you, I think bananas are good for you. But I'm not gonna start of the day with "EAT BANANAS, BITCH!" But if someone goes, "hey, what about green bananas?" Of course I'll chime in on my thoughts on Bananas: Green, Yellow, or Red ("where the fuck'd you get THAT banana?)

If you're vanilla town, then you have no info that you can breadcrumb. It doesn't matter if we allow you to zip things up in sparkly fairy dust bags and send them to gnomeland where the magical ponies send them back for all to read two days later -- "Vanilla" means "I have no info". And yes, I know, others are calling for more substance for my vote -- and while I'm aware that "I just don't like the guy" is a common enough reason for voting, it's not the most productive one in the world. I'll grab some of his most telling points out of my notes after lunch.

My problem with Ui is not his arguments - it's his presentation.
I felt his first post was abrupt, and was about to query the mods because he hadn't been introduced so I thought he might be an overeager newbie. I can understand jumping the gun a little though.
However, Yattara categorised his impact best - loose cannon. We've seen people attempt rogue playstyles before (Mad, I'm looking at you) and it didn't go down well. The majority of players here are posters on the Straight Dope boards, and that fosters a particularly intellectual approach - a bit more careful, if you will.
I felt his ideas were a breath of fresh air. Particularly the "Role names don't correlate" one. But packaging is almost as important as the ideas themselves, particularly if some people have a vested interest in rejecting them.
There are a few people I want to respond to, and I'll start writing now. If the hammer hasn't fallen when I finish, I'll post it.
My suspicions - there are three - lie on people with no current votes. That's another thing I'll cover in that post.

Why are you not grasping what HM is saying? If you're vanilla town, then you have no info that you can breadcrumb. It doesn't matter if we allow you to zip things up in sparkly fairy dust bags and send them to gnomeland where the magical ponies send them back for all to read two days later -- "Vanilla" means "I have no info". I AM DOING IT BECAUSE "AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN." THAT'S IT. I wanted to use invis text in a mafia game. This is answer I can accept. You are having fun. Got it. Thank you.

Please answer my previous question: Why isn't it allowed on 'tings? I dunno. It's been that way since (I think) the beginning and I've only been there for 6 months. I'll tell you why. Because it's sneaky, against the spirit of the game, and just... not cool. My beef is not the method. It is that you are even doing it at all. TOWNIES DON"T HAVE ANY INFORMATION TO BREADCRUMB! yeesh. Why would I do this as scum? Can you think of ANY REASON? Trying to sneakily convince people you're not scum, perhaps? It looks like I'm going to be the hammer two days in a row Unvote CookiesVote UiMy first post toMorrow will be a vote on Cookies.
