No, I'm not just following Thomas

Sure you aren't...

Dude. The only thing you've posted are prod dodges, and spewing crap.  

No I've posted more than prod dodges. The only ever "prod dodge" I posted was on day 1 right after I got back from being gone. Remember, I don't have 11000km long arms unlike you and Thomas.

Hey guys, make sure not to do a quick lynch. I'll be back tomorrow to do some posting. For now, off to bed.

This is a textbook scum response to inactivity.

Mod: Prod/replace Silver please.

What the hell I put myself on hidden and I keep getting unhidden for no reason? How is this a so-called feature, this is definitely a bug right here.

Eh whatever dude, have it your way, what do I care

You misinterpret. I don't post because I don't feel like it - I don't post because I don't see any anything worth me replying/contributing to the discussion going on at the time/since I last posted/whatever, and therefore, I don't post, because honestly, what's the point of me posting a contribution that'll end up being completely worthless anyway? It doesn't help me and it definitely doesn't help anyone else.

Not to mention that as I'm pretty sure I've stated before, but I want to post at my own pace (as in, "when I feel like it" as I seem to have been misphrasing it) because, well, this is a game. On a forum made solely for internet games (with level makers). As in, the kind of game you have fun in. I'm going at my own pace because it is a game where I want to have some fun, and if I feel like I'm forced to post all the time in it, well, that's not going to be any fun, is it? No, it's not.

Not only that, but I don't go out of my way to avoid posting, as stated before and as I will explain further here. I have posted quite a few times in this day already, and they've pretty much all been me quoting quite a few posts and giving my comments on them, which is actually quite a bit of post content, not to mention much more than most of the useless garbage Darvince posts, or hell, some of the stuff YOU post. Okay, so I post less than more active players like you and Thomas? At least most of the time I don't post useless one-liners and complaints on the activity of the game, (If you want more activity in the game, then be more pro-active) which is what you two have been doing a lot recently. And I'm not as inactive as some players, like Flash and Shavey and Yuggy, and I'm not as crazy as inactive as Jazz, either, mainly because he actually DOES go out of his way to avoid posts, whereas I post when I feel like my contribution's going to count for something, or maybe spark a tiny bit of the activity all you boys clearly desire.

So, honestly, your "reason" for wanting to lynch me? "I have routinely avoided posted because I don't feel like it?" It doesn't have a lot of weight and has quite a bit of hot air in it too. So from this I'm assuming that you just find me annoying and want to lynch me because I'm a player who you find annoying, and you just use my inactivity to give weight to your argument. Well, guess what, there are more annoying and more inactive players you could have a better time running around trying to lynch. So I highly suggest you deal with it and go annoy one of those players, I'm sure whoever-it-is will appreciate your attention more than I do.

maybe I'm just naturally a sassy and sarcastic person, or maybe it's one of those teenage-year things. Tell me, did you ever take those points into consideration?

kinda strange how most of your posts before this point to you as being very adamant in my lynching, and when Darvince makes a very petty post about FlashMarsh and offhandedly asks you of being mafia, you very instantly jump to voting him, straight after Thomas votes him and (whoops, just checked the posts' time-stamps) without any raisins reasons either. Interesting.

I think it's time I put my vote to use, now, hm?

Vote: Jorster. For reasons, please infer from the above text.

Earlier that day you also put me and Shavey Dave as top suspects.
As for Harumbai, what got me suspicious of him previous game was his lack of contribution. He didn't post very much and the few posts he did make didn't have much content. Same as this game, really. The only thing saving him now is that there are even less active or otherwise scummier people in the game now.

Unvote
Vote: Jorster

Now that Isa is dead, Jorster is just following Thomas. It appears to me he doesn't want to contribute himself, he's just following the strongest player. I guess to get on their good side so they won't start a lynch against him.

Votecount!

Jorster (2) - Silver, Jellsprout
Darvince (2) - Thomas, Jorster
Silver (1) - Harumbai
Flashmarsh (1) - Yuggy
Thomas (1) - flashmarsh
Yuggy (1) - Sniper
Jellsprout (1) - Darvince

not voting (2) - Shavey Dave, Soccerboy
~~~
with 11 alive, it takes 6 votes to lynch.

Note how I voted Darvince about 30 seconds after Thomas. He posted so fast that I clicked on new topics, typed in my post, and he ninja'd me.

  I still don't see why my posts are lacking in content Jell... I mean I don't post very often, but at least I generally try and talk about the game rather than just conversing in a meaningless way.
I just checked where my vote was which has always seemed like a scummy thing to do (forgetting who you voted), but there were a few people who I could have voted for so I couldn't remember who I chose.
I am happy with my vote on Silver though, not only is she continuing her argument about only wanting to come on and have fun she hardly moves away from that to discuss the game. Only her last paragraph of her last post actually discusses her opinion on anything and it seems like that vote could be easily drawn from the information at hand, playing it safe with the voting perhaps.

My best bet for town is Shavey Dave for my vote count reasons, but no one seems to have any opinion on this even though I have asked...

It does look a little that way. Jorster has been making some bad plays this entire game and for me it is only his claim which keeps him not my vote right now. I wonder whether the claim is faked. Possibly a mafia buddy with good knowledge of pokemon and mafia could construct that? Firstly knowing the moves of pokemon is necessary, but also the play of a doctor as a false one is good because you can identify a different doctor if they do decide to call you on it. I don't know how well the pokemon equate to their role either, I can't imagine wheezing as a doctor any more than I can imagine Togepi as mafia.

Will try and post tomorrow, but it will probably depend on how many people have posted since and how my homework is going.

I voted Darvince, because everytime he is asked to be active, he posts complete random crap. If you want, I can compile a list of all the posts bed posted with little to no content, then you can get back to me with your votes.

It seems like Silver is just trying to lynch me because was trying to lynch her, but now I want darvince gone. Silver has been posting worthwhile stuff a lot more than darvince, and would be better to have in the game tomorrow, so it isn't populated with people like darvince. That is why I unvoted so fast, not because I'm following Thomas

Ninja'd
did you even read my previous post, Harumbai?

It's not bad, but still not as much as I was expecting. And with you being so "obviously scum" whenever you are Mafia, I'm just wondering what exactly is so obviously different those games.

And Jorster, first you claim you want to vote Silver or FlashMarsh. Thomas turns on Darvince and lo and behold, you vote Darvince. You've not even tried to explain why you suddenly changed your mind. It doesn't take a long time to simply vote either.

Ok, so Flashmarsh has posted. UnFoS: Nothing really suspicious there. Conversation is lacking, Thomas is still the most scummy  in my opinion, blah, blah, blah. The conversation here is lacking, no one is really posting anything too worthwile and inactivity rages on. Yeah, that wasn't very positive.

Oh, in the above post it was meant to say 'UnFoS: Flashmarsh'

Blah Blah, Jorster, Blah. Jorster's still claimed doctor with one useful shot left. And, sadly, he's actually one of our active players. Really now, VI's are only distracting if you are easily distracted. Imagine how uneventful this day would be without jorster's posts and posts about jorster's posts. Lynching jorster is the weakest policy lynch we could possible make. Maybe I'm alone in this, but it seems to me that bad play is better than no play at all because if jorster's fake claimed, then we can try to catch him in the lie, but if someone like Yuggy, who I havn't heard from in a while, continues playing the way they are, we get nothing. I'm actually going to keep my vote on yuggy for now.
Hey mod, my vote is on yuggy from earlier, i think there's a copy paste error in the votecount.

fixed, thanks.

I have just kinda been lacking motivation to post, something needs to happen I think (like soccers idea).

I don't know about lynching, if we can't get anything better then a policy lynch will be fine.

Also now that school has settled a bit I may have more free time so yeah.

Jorster, the problem with the fact that you "were ninja'd by thomas", is that you didn't indicate anything like that from your post. The only way anyone else could tell whether or not you are telling the truth is if you post about it AT THAT TIME. As of now, no one can tell and you'll be assumed as lying.

Well soccer, you can look at the time stamps. Unless you're suggesting that jorster saw thomas' vote and then immediately decided to wagon with thomas... I'm not sure how likely that is even for the dumbest scum.

Considering he posted nothing else, it's plausible that he saw Thomas' vote and then voted. I'm not calling him scum. I'm just explaining to him.

Well maybe if people actually moved away from using it as an excuse to label me as mafia (which is actually a very poor excuse imo) and tried some other tactics, it would be a lot less of a problem.

I approve of this notion. Darvince, you need to make yourself more useful and contribute more than just short random posts and one-liners. And the more useful contribution going around, the better.

You might need to look a little closer.

While I am mainly leaning in towards believing you about not following Thomas, due to the time stamps of the posts in question, you should have said those reasons when you voted Darvince, and if you were ninja'd by Thomas then you should've put a note in there. Hell, you should know that you must always accompany a vote with a proper reason, or you'll get questions and accusations from everywhere.

Perhaps contributing yourself would help with the inactivity problem, hm? I'm sure you'd be able to squeeze some time in on your schedule.

(As well as the timestamps.) Yeah, this is one of the problems that stems from votes lacking reasons.

Huh, now that you mention it, it doesn't take very long to make a vote at all, does it?

For all we know, the time between these two posts could've been mere seconds. But then again, just a post containing a vote and nothing else? That doesn't take any more than about ten seconds to make, does it?

1347944405 - 1347944354 = 51

There were 51 seconds between the posts.

Making posts longer than a line does not mean you are contributing. I can back this up with Silver's post above were absolutely no scum hunting is done. So, one liners can contribute more than your posts which are designed to look like a contribution when there's actually nothing there, Silver.
