This is another case of "TPS isn't too great at saying what he means and therefore comes off very badly." He doesn't mean he's aiming for humans, he just worded it badly or something.
In the chat: evilbutterfly87: it's not so much that you're aiming for a human evilbutterfly87: it's that you're aiming for useless people Tps7910: Yes See, he's not aiming for a human, he's aiming for useless people and hoping they're a wolf. He just didn't word it so well.

Tps7910: My main goal is for us to win flypie743: and you can win flypie743: by getting rid of the wolves flypie743: the sooner the better flypie743: the less humans dead the better, so the goal is to lynch a wolf Tps7910: That is true Tps7910: But what if you go of a hunch Legat0bluesummrs: the thing is Tps7910: And some evidnce points a fairly active player, that is decenty Tps7910: and turns out that he is human Tps7910: Not only do we lynch a human, we lynch a usefull one Legat0bluesummrs: flypie, what makes you think flux, or anyone else we lynch is human for sure? flypie743: eh? evilbutterfly87: lupin, we're not debating flux's humanity flypie743: when did I say flux was human Legat0bluesummrs: neither am I evilbutterfly87: we're debating that tps doesnt care if he lynches a human Legat0bluesummrs: well obviously nobody cares day one Legat0bluesummrs: considering it happens 9 out of 10 of the time evilbutterfly87: no, see, thats terrible thinking Tps7910: As long as he or she is innactive Tps7910: There not helping lightdarkness42 has entered the room. Tps7910: only hurting lightdarkness42: hi Tps7910: they wont slip-up flypie743: hi LD Legat0bluesummrs: fact is, we're not going to get a wolf unless we're damn lucky Tps7910: Or Tps7910: Someone slips up Tps7910: only active can slip up Tps7910: so, we want to get rid of all innactive evilbutterfly87: Kilga slipped up last game evilbutterfly87: he's inactive evilbutterfly87: people talked to him on AIM evilbutterfly87: he couldnt stay concealed evilbutterfly87: otherwise, you're pretty much right Tps7910: This gives us a chance to collect seer info, evidnce, and with more active people around, more conversation and a chnac for someone to slip up, if the person is innactive, they cant slip up evilbutterfly87: yes they can, but it's harder Tps7910: Yea, so lets make it easier evilbutterfly87: but still, we're not aiming for a human flypie743: I agree with eb Legat0bluesummrs: exactly Legat0bluesummrs: we're not aiming for a human Legat0bluesummrs: because we dont know Tps7910: Yes, I know, but we really dont hav e agood shot at getting a wolf Tps7910: So, I would rather lose a bad human instead of a helpfull one Tps7910: Unless I have complete evidnce of wolfiness Tps7910: THeres no point in risking a helpfull human Tps7910: or person flypie743: yeah, but still. we aren't aiming for a human flypie743: we are aiming for a wolf evilbutterfly87: indeed flypie743: but on day 1 its kind of hard evilbutterfly87: TPS's post made it seem otherwise |

I've been quiet in almost every game I've ever played; I tend to see what everone else says, and make my votes based on that. I'm trying to be more active here since FFR games are more conversation oriented, but I really have nothing to say. I've never played here so I can't look at past experiences and talk about how people aren't acting like they usually are or anything.
My vote for blah wasn't based on anything real, but seeing as how this is the first round and no one has made any real accusations, and little has been said other than speculating who could have killed Tass (which it seems the result came out 'anyone') I had little to make my vote on.

We lynched the seer. Whoops! We lynched the guardian. Whoops! We wasted a kill on someone because they were inactive. I've expressed my views on this before, and they remain the same.

We need the other SEVENTY THOUSAND people who are inactive to post in this before the day closes, or else we are not doing too much good conversing without them.

Your taking things to the extreme Hans. It's not wasting a kill, would you rather kill an active helpfull person, and leave a bunch of innactive people around, I wouldn't. This is just my opinion, you don't have to agree with it, it's just an idea.

First of all, sorry about being so inactive. I went out riding earlier, came home, showered, then went right out again.
I have to agree with Lupin, though. He said to vote of the weakest link. If they aren't going to make a good contribution to the game by talking at all, then they most likely aren't going to help in the future. Chances are, they could be a wolf, and are trying to fly under the radar so that no one will suspect them. I know that i haven't been contributing that much, but see the reason above ^. I'll be able to do a lot for the next week considering I don't have to go to school. The only one that's standing out is TPS, but that is to be expected considering he acts stupid every game. It would kind of help if more people were talking so that we could have more opinions, and maybe something to go off of. I'm not going to vote at the moment because I haven't seen enough input from everyone.

Oh, and we don't know flux is a wolf or a human, so assuming that lynching him is lynching a human is overlooking the fact that there's a 21% chance he's a wolf. However, in no way is flux condemned. He's merely a target to provide a warning to other inactives. |

I recall a game where a wolf was lynched night one. OHWAIT, THAT WAS TPS.
Hans is completely right. I did not mean in any way that I feel flux is human or wolf. I meant that Tps's strategy of seeking out useless humans rather than wolves is STUPID, be it day one or day six. |

What the hell is wrong with you guys.
Lynching an inactive player on the pretense that you are getting rid of someone who isn't an assest is bullshit. We have gone over this before in past games. It is NOT a good strategy. Yet people are trying to push it AGAIN. From what I have seen, specifically Tps and Lupin, with a bit of defense from eb. Right now Lupin gets my vote, due to the amount of bullshit in his last post combined with his continued push to lynch Flux (by the way, humans usually don't have a good reason to strongly push for a specfic lynch day one, whereas a wolf, who knows who all the humans and wolves are, does). We should ignore wolfish things he says? So we should ignore everything which allows the humans to win this game? The only people that such a strategy helps is the wolves. I still think that the reasoning I used in my early post is mostly correct, so I'll review it combined with this later. For now, Disgaea calls. |

Okay, guys, riding on TPS is just going to make him say something more stupid. Remember last game; he talked about lynching alain, and he worded it wrong. It got him lynched. He says stupid stuff he doesn't mean to say every game, and it gets him killed. I'm not saying he isn't a wolf, but this is expected of him.
I'm particularly looking at flux_ right now. He's only posted twice, once to throw in a vote, once to explain himself, to save himself from being killed. He's been staying out of the way WAY too much for Day 1. I think forcing a second vote on flux_ will make him talk a little more. Now, about alain. I talked to him about this privately, because I was wondering why he had not been posting, because he had obviously been available. The reason is, eb, Kefit, AND blah have all brought his name up as a potential wolf that could've killed Tass. This strategy, as well as this finger-pointing, has pissed him off to the point where he does not want to play this game anymore, at least for now. He got fed up after blah reiterated what had already been plainly stated. I'm going to get the blame if you guys spam him with messages now, so just give him his space to let him cool off.

Why does he care if they bought up his name? No one ever voted for him for it. The two votes for him are based off of randomness and inactivity. And LD always ends up changing his vote and I bet Stretchy will change her vote when an explanation comes from Alain, or someone who has talked to him. =/

I already told you why he cared. He didn't like a finger being pointed at him, if only casually, three different times. Maybe he overreacted, but that is what he said, plain and simple.
Okay a bunch of posts went in before mine, so I will clarify something I meant to say about flux_. I was getting a bad vibe from him after his second post, which looked like a little cry just thrown in to say, "I'm new, I'm innocent, there's no reason to look at me." The fact that he can't look back and see how people act is bull. There are plenty of games he could look back on to at least get an idea of behavior and get even a loose idea of how people act when they have certain roles. He has no excuse for saying (or, more accurately, implying) that he should be given a little room for not playing here before.

Secondly, you have failed to tell us why you think I'm spewing bullshit. Yes, finding wolves through suspicious behaviour works to an extent in jTWG, but come on...wolves don't come out and say incriminating things day one in a game of this calibur. The majority of "wolfish" behaviour will be coming from confused and scattered humans- has this not been observed in the past? I believe that there very well could be a wolf on your side, or my side of the argument- maybe even both. But the thing is that wolves have no need to really expose themselves this early on. There's no benefit for them to be in the spotlight. This being said, why is my speculation that wolves act normally so invalid? Lastly, I realize my logic on day one wolfings are flawed. I didn't realize there were so many in the earlier games. Then again, wolves learn from their mistakes. |

Oh, and nforcer, I am not really saying this stuff to you...like why he isn't posting, etc. I'm just putting it out in the open because I know you are only repeating what he said :P

I'm definitely going to be the first person to tell you not to underestimate the newbs (and possibly the best example of why you shouldn't -- not to be cocky, olol), but I want to give flux_ the benefit of the doubt for now. If there had been opposition to me joining a game, I'd be very hesitant to say anything, too. I think we have a much better chance of analyzing those among us who have played on this forum before (which is everyone except flux_). If flux is a wolf and we take out his two partners, he will be easy to get.
As for Alain, I do plan on changing my vote. Not just yet, as nothing has really come along... I'm going to pull a Tass and ask to be seered. Please. |
