Mafia / Re: The Attendance Ranking Board, Quarter 1, 2010

Well, I think what I'm REALLY after is a Minimum rather than a Standard.  I tend to like 24 hour limits, though I will make more allowances.  If another host wants to use different numbers then that's their aim.  If a host wants to not prod except in rare situations then that's fine.  In the end, it's based on the host.

The trick is the minimum before a prod can be official.  I had thought 24 hours.  Now it's looking like perhaps 27 or 36 (thus I can throw a 'prod' at 24 hours but can't keep it on record unless it's later on without a post)

I believe CobaltKobold got me on that one.  I said at one point that everyone would need to post on Monday.  Right at 12 am I noticed she didn't post so I sent a prod.

The reply?  "It's still monday!  I just send my post in IN TIME"

Turns out I forgot about timezones.


I guess what I could do is have a 'pull back period'.  I'll still SEND a prod at the 24 hour mark, but if you post within 3 hours of that deadline then the prod is retracted.  Of course, if I don't prod until WAY after 24 hours then that's that.

I know right now, if you tell me that your schedualing issues sometimes cause odd things like that then I'll also pull back the prod.

remember: once the final vote is in for a hammer, the day is DONE.  You may NOT post anymore, though you CAN send your actions (no worries if you need to change it: I allow changes midnight)

How does the rest feel.

Actually, you're the first to do that.  However, I LIKE it, because it makes it a ton easier to keep track of it all.

So note that you don't HAVE to do it, but I'll very much appreciate it if you do.

(yes, that's why I did the "OMG I'm prodded" joke.  I realized it was a confirmation PM but I couldn't help myself)

Her name is Litia, and be careful.  She scares dogs three times her size away and even keeps mothers-in-law in line.

Unvote Zai

ExKirby
, did you just suggest that you would've liked to have been a Mafioso?

@ Neruz

Your quote in full:

I'm not going to play the little argument tunnelvision game with you dak. I can see where this is going, and i'm going to pull out now. It's an excellent tactic to initiate while scum, but i'd be an idiot to engage in over the top arguments while town.

Oh, and dak, someone has caught my eye in the thread; you.

The problem I have with it is this: if you aren't going to get into a deep argument with me then what ARE you going to do?  you NEED to debate my points and bring up points of your own in order to read me.  Otherwise, you're just voting for me without finding out what I am.  I take note that for all of your saying that you'll avoid "over the top arguments" that you decided to continue anyway.  That's because, in the end, you much scumhunt.

Sidenote 1: The Day 1 BIG arguments in Paranormal 12 led to forsaken determining that you are scum: an idea he held until the end of the game.  If anything, the biggest mistake was on the town putting both of you to the backburner "we'll deal with the situation later". 

Sidenote 2: the quotation marks aren't your words but similar to aka.  In long terms it's "This is what I believe you really mean."  It's an accusation of your motive, not a quote on your post.  Your ACTUAL words are the quotes above.  What I believe accuse you of is the 'quotation marks' below it.

So yes, I know you SAID that you don't want to wear down the town with a big argument.  However, I believe you said it just to try to escape the argument and go after someone easier (like, say, Solifuge).


Btw, deciding to just drop most of my argument is cute, but Dodging the Question.  Instead of trying to misread my argument, how about actually addressing them?

Dak, web's was pretty damn long as well.

Mostly because he quoted me, but I get the point

Quote
Soli... I'm likely to be wrong, but Soli hasn't defended very well-he/she reminds me of myself back when I was a rookie. Probably doesn't know how to defend. But looking at the quote in web's wall, there is a bit of failure in there... No townie blames another townie for their mistakes. I think. ...I am making sense, right?

1. Day 1 no worries if you are wrong: there's little information at the moment.  However, by making attacks like that you'll do exactly what is truly needed: drawing people out, making them speak out more, and gathering the information that will be useful later on. 

2. When I say "you need ot get out there and attack"  yes.. THAT quoted is what I'm talking about.  If there's any blahness about it, it's the worry.  you CAN worry in your head about things, but you leave out the worry when you write.  In your head, you say "Well, that guy is passive, but I don't know.".. in text you write. "That's passive, you lousy scum!"

Thus, you can reword your writing slightly to get that effect like this:

"Soli hasn't defended very well-he/she reminds me of myself back when I was a rookie. Probably doesn't know how to defend. But looking at the quote in web's wall, there is a bit of failure in there... No townie blames another townie for their mistakes."

Boom.. without the "oh I don't know" at the beginning and ending, you go from a very passive (and weak) post to a pretty decent attack.  Normally, you'd also put a vote in but if you dislike adding to the bandwagon until you're more sure then a Blue-colored FOS will do.

From here you keep pushing.  Keep attacking until you can say one of three things:

"Ok, that makes sense.  yah, I can't see them as scum after that."

or

"I still don't like them, but they answered the argument, and I don't have anything else to add."

or

"OMG!  They really ARE scum!"

The first means it's time to pull back and go after someone else. If the second, put them on standby.. leave them alone but watch them as they post against other people and go to them later.  If the third.. do WHATEVER IT TAKES to see them DEAD! 

And that, is scumhunting.

I can tell you now, once I'm out of one of the games I'm in (Second Chance, BYOR 3, Aztec) if SIE is still in signups I'll join.

For the record, ExKirby can slip his BYOR ahead of me.  I really should get to working on Boot Camp.

(and perhaps finally working on Eversion)

I'm sorry, my mistake. The whole thing is rather passive. You don't seem to care enough about what you're talking about, you know? Where's the feeling! You've got a stand going but you're not putting forth much of an effort, dakarian.

Meh to that.  That was a full on analysis stating directly what he's done that shows him as scum.  As it stands, if he can't answer to those charges then I'll be done with him.


@Exkirby

If you want to be 'in' mind going after someone?  Go attack someone instead of sitting there waiting for others to do your job.

For example: who do you feel is most scummy at the moment (and note, the only post that's really long is my latest WOT so you shouldn't have a problem reading everything else)

So you admit to to being self-preserving.  Good to know you're already a wash in scumtells.
