Deep Space 9 Mafia - Game Over!

A bit weird? He’s getting replaced. I want to see what Judge Mental has to say.

hi all

I’ve been trying to read up fully before posting but as I’m only up to post #770 I don’t want you to think I’m not playing.

I don’t know which player’s slot I’ve replaced into as yet! I will get caught up during today (it’s early morning here) so it could be a while yet before you see a meaningful post from me

So your case was so thin that him being replaced breaks it?

The case against ActionDan rested on two main points: (i) his limited contributions, his lack of follow-up, and the lack of depth behind his questions and his vote on Cats, and (ii) his lurking. Number (ii) is now not really fair, since he got replaced due to lack of activity. Number (i) I’ll revisit based on @Mental’s contributions and analysis. I haven’t decided to never vote Judge today. I’m just waiting to see what he says. Why are you so adamant that I keep my vote when others have also withdrawn it?

This is really lame.

Btw I didn’t forget that I’m supposed to tell you why I want to vote Josh. Just waiting to be at a desktop.

Cats is scummy IMO, so not questioning that vote too hard (it was an easy lurker vote, then AD subbing out makes it less easy to hide there)…and Urist it makes sense, given that his case was largely based on AD lurking, so him having to sub out presumably cleared up most of those concerns.

I still don’t really get why you pulled your vote, but I do get why others pulled theirs.

:+1:

No u

I know smilodons game very very well.
I have played with her for over five years.
For a while she had a scum tell I could usually pick, but smilo tightened up her game and often can’t pick which side she is on.

The point I want to make here is that the amount she posts is never a scum tell.
It is not alignment indicative.
Either RL stuff has means she has less time to contribute.
Or.
Having subbed in with over a 1000 posts to read and many unknown players.
She just isn’t comfortable making posts when she is not up to speed.

I explained why I pulled my vote. I also don’t see the harm in looking to re-evaluate based on the posting from a player who has been replaced in. In general, the amount of content from ActionDan just was not there. So I don’t understand why you seem to think that the case against him would be particularly strong.

Shit day at work. Will post when home and not dead with a shirt permanently fused to my skin.

I would like to lynch in cats, urist, ms.

You did explain why—after I poked. If you’re not prepared to defend a vote or a decision to unvote, that’s your issue, not mine.

And “the case against AD wasn’t strong” is kinda my point, so. I guess we’re in agreement there. I am curious why you’d vote to kill with a case that wasn’t very strong, but apparently that’s just how people play here.

Quickly catching up:

No it wasn’t the post that I might be applying my own philosophy. In fact, I think that’s kind of BS. Everything in the game is about trying to figure out how you feel about posts from other players. Inevitably, you are going to inject your own bias (or “philosophy”) into that read (and sometimes, even say things like “As Scum, I do not think that it is particularly likely that [blank]”. I mean, Nanook literally wrote this when defending Srceenplay’s fake-claim at first. So no. I meant the post were he is questioning whether a vote would more likely be poorly thought out if it came from Town than Scum. That immediately clicked with me.

Yeah, I explained after you asked. So? What’s your point? Should I have ignored your question?

And sure, I don’t think I ever said the case against ActionDan was particularly strong. That does not mean that I was Town reading him.

Also, this is totally ridiculous. Like, your whole initial case against Cats is based on this:

I missed that post or glossed over it, Andre, can you give me the post number please?
I really need to do some ISO’s and rereads but so much effort for a ay one.
But I will do it.

Fair enough Josh.
Can you give me your reasons for each of your three reads?
Please don’t say, I have already done so, there are so many posts across so many days I think it is reasonable to ask for an update.

I dont think I have already done so
