Nevermind I'm a dumb and messed up votes

Your original post about

was before spiresquire and nitrox116 posted, so this comment could not possible have been referring to them. Who where they referring to?

No one in general, just your remark about a tribunal.

Yeah, probably just paranoid, considering that I'm confirmed town. Likely the reason that three people accused you in a short timeframe was that your last two posts were just overly aggressive accusations (against Ace Emerald and Obbmud99) with no evidence presented to back them up. You did say that this is a normal feature of NOC (and feel free to call me out on things if I make a mistake; I'm new at this), but I feel like a little bit more substance could have been added to back them up.

Also, keep in mind that you aren't my #1 suspect at the moment... that would probably be Ullar. I'm just calling you out on this so we can hear more of a defense, which so far has been somewhat lacking, considering that so far what you've said has to do with the meaning of the word "tribunal." Speaking of which, "tribunal" doesn't necessarily mean just three (perhaps it once did, but that's no longer the case). This may be minor evidence for you being mafia: perhaps you accidentally let on more than you knew. However, like you said, your phrasing didn't imply two mafia members... although I echo obbmud's concern that three people hadn't voted against you when you posted. Why did you choose the word "two?"

I chose the word two because obbmud + two people = three = tribunal. If you look at the roots of tribunal it literally contains tri, latin for three.

I'm counting votes right now jsyk, will post asap.

True, but the modern definition of "tribunal" has no mention of the number 3. It derives its origins from the "tribune" used in the Roman Republic. The term "tribune" comes from the Latin "tribunus," which means the head of a tribe.

 

[nitrox116]

We're sort of getting beside the point here... either it was an honest mistake on your part or you accidentally let some information slip.

Huh apparently I'm stupid.

I just heard "tri" and thought 3 is all.

 

[nitrox116]

Keep in mind that my vote counts for 2, starwarsfan.

Activity has really picked up since the last vote count, excellent job!

I'm retroactively extending deadline by 24 hours because A. I feel I was a little harsh last VC and B. I don't want to kill discussion when all I might have had to do was give you guys a few more hours at the last VC.

Next Vote Count: 4:00 PM EDT (GMT-4) on May 6 (~19 hours away)
Deadline: 4:00 PM EDT (GMT-4) on May 7 (~43 hours away).

god did i just get ninja'd by like 3 people

ss worst host na

 

[Ullar]

Sparse much, he says. Waste time all you want with lynching the village idiot.

Perhaps I do look scummy. I'm not denying the scumminess of my posts - I'm merely saying I'm a fool.

I do assure you, I am not any malign entity.

 

[starwarsfan]

whoops ninja'd

anyway, shinyskarmory:

Obbmud99 (1): Celever
<snip>
Not Voting: Celever

And also, ss's vote doesnt count as it wasn't bolded

 

[Tesung]

In a lynch as tight as this I would appreciate if people gave ligitimate reasoning for their lynch. I would hate to be lynched by people keeping their placeholder

 

[Ullar]

Seeing as all I contributed was a lack of contribution, I'll read over the thread again, try to share some reads.

 

[Ullar]

also unlynch b/c I like posting a lot and no editing allowed

HUE HUE POSTCOUNT WHORE

 

[shinyskarmory]

And also, ss's vote doesnt count as it wasn't bolded

I counted it because I managed to pick it out and it was clear he meant it as a lynch vote.

Bolding votes is more to help me find them then anything else. If you post a vote in the middle of a big post and don't bold I can't guarantee I'll find it every time.

 

[spiresquire]

Ah yes, I did have my vote bolded when I initially typed it up. I am not sure how the formatting got all fucked up, but whatever. Starwars, I don't really like your defence all too much. It seems realistic, but slightly contrived. You can't really prove me otherwise, and I can't prove my excuses either. I'm going to try to look even further into this now.

And, while I will admit that I asked the question to see if someone would be dumb enough to slip a number, I don't really like how fast obbmund is to jump on Mmeoric's sub. He is clear, after all. You both are paranoid as all holy hell. I think I'll retract my not vote for now, but I'm still not very satisfied with either of you two.

If this "tribunal" thing goes on, I think I might have my answer to question one according to swf's logic. I don't know how to think about this. I don't want trivial questions to dominate the conversation, but it's quite intriquing. :/

Also, to Tesung. Did you read my post? Completely, I mean. I asked you to explain something to me and to also show me where you got your information. I am trying to meet you half way here. While I appreciate the positive read, it doesn't really show me that you took my post seriously.

Also, to the person who voted me. I'm not upset with you, but bear in mind that if a lynch were lead on an inactive person without any sort of input, we'd have nothing to work off of for the next day. I'm not asking you to change your vote nor am I trying to attack you, just trying to give you a friendly reminder.

This seems like a comfortable length of posts, I suppose. It's not about length, but content. That said, let no one say that I am trying to lurk to hide under the radar. I think people will remember such a big ass post. Anyway, these posts I can handle to keep up on a frequent basis so y'all don't worry about me. :P

No questions for now.

 

[spiresquire]

Oh wow. unvote, I guess. <_<

 

[spiresquire]

Oh, and Ullar. I thought I'd note.

There is no fool in this list. :)

Obbmud didn't jump on me as far as I can tell, we both sort of jumped on starwarsfan.

From what I can tell, paranoia is the only way to try to figure out who is mafia.

UllarWarlord Post #194

You want a read? Fine. Felony was an idiotic town...and BT never really gave thoughts. So my opinion is, we can't learn much from them, let's focus on what we have now.

The majority of the game was against Felony, but who's to say what was a bandwagon and what wasn't? The fingers go to the main leaders, but we can't really blame them b/c Felony refused to explain himself.

While I run the risk of 'parroting' others, I will echo my suspicions of Tesung - he's given less justification than I have. As such, my vote goes towards lynching tesung. I'll be honest, being noob town is one thing - being unwilling to rationalize anything puts you under a very pointed light.

The message that I am getting from you here is that if we don't explain ourselves, we are scum and must be lynched, and if you explain your actions when people are voting on you makes scummy as well. To me this just looks like a poor excuse to hop on the bandwagon. Day One you voted onto both the bandwagons on me and starwarsfan, and you didn't hop on the felony wagon but you also didn't post between then (telling me that you were not watching). Either your lazy, and don't want to devote a large amount of energy to playing, or you just want an easy way to off people.

This is my reason. I'm going to stick with it, because I think that starwarsfan might be a victim of a definition miss-understanding. Maybe not. I'll watch carefully.

 

[nitrox116]

I'm keeping my vote on starwarsfan because I don't want the vote count on Ullar to climb too much, but I'm definitely very suspicious of Ullar. Basically every post he makes says "I'm an idiot." I'd like to see something more substantial he has to say.

 

[spiresquire]

Also, Ullar. That Fool claim better be a goddamn joke. With our brand new extension that I never thought we'd get, I would probably vote you if you already didn't have four votes on you. You ought to explain yourself, since I don't find this troll attempt funny at all. >:V

By getting "on" the mayor, I meant that I thought obb was accusing you of knowing the number of mafia without any grounds. After thinking about it a little, I can see it being genuine confusion.

Oh, and Ace. If you wouldn't mind posting a few links of games you've been in, I'd greatly appreciate it. I hope it isn't too bothersome for you to remember. Unless you're scared that I'll analyze you. :)

 

[Ullar]

Okay, people, I've done a bit of reading up.

Ullar: The scummiest player plz lynch. He has posted basically nothing, and anything of note has been mindless bandwagoning. He attacks others who are inactive to seem better as well. so unvote celever, lynch ullar

Tell me where I did this. Here, I'll even help with a nice compilation. So you better stop pulling shit out of thin air, and smarten up. I may have no excuse to be a blithering fool, but that gives you none either.

lynch tesung
