Feminism, Authoritarianism and Gender
I hesitate to post this, but i wonder where discussion will lead...
Is Gender socially constructed? Is there a difference between gender identity and gender expression? What other issues does this raise?

Why'd You Choose Your Username?
It's a decision we all make, and one we have to life with for the rest of our time on this site; choosing a username. Some choose their own name, their initials, a historical figure or even a reference to a movie or TV show. So I ask all of you, just why did you choose that username you have?

In case you don't know; Ireland is having a marriage equality referendum today. Yes will mean marriage between gay couples becomes a reality, a No will deny them their fundamental human rights.

So, DL was the vote flipping really the mafia or was it indecisive town? That's the way I seem to remember it from watching though I'll admit I wasn't as invested as those playing. If so do you have a target or group that you would be interested in setting up as lynch targets?

Ok getting involved, ##VOTE yoyoyozo :), if putting down a vote in the first hour of the game is what you're expecting. you make one post casting a vote then call me out checking in and not making baseless accusations on nothing yet. well now i don't feel it's completely baseless so thank you!

I thought we just had to vote once per day phase not once in the first hour. That sounds extreme.
yassem (2533 D)
05 May 15 UTC
@mrh, no, I do want to kill somebody, just there's no-one I want to kill here. This means it's gonna be more tricky and would possibly involve reading posts to make up my mind as to who is mafia.
I was planning to do that eventually of course, but only after all the people I hate died.
@Deathlama, I am not really insulted about jokes about my nationality - you can go ahead : )
Squigs44 (273 D)
05 May 15 UTC
y2k comes out swinging at a yoyo who is just encouraging discussion with a pressure vote. So far probably the only thing worthy of being called "scummy"

"would possibly involve reading posts to make up my mind as to who is mafia"
-yassem

This is the whole point of the game. If you dont do that early and often, you are an enemy to the town
Hi checking in here before I go off to laser tag. Good Luck to all. and most importantly, don't fuck up. Also, novices, if you need advice, don't be afraid to ask. Us older players are more than willing to help, otherwise the town is in deep shit. For now I go away. Hopefully I will return to read and do a flavor post.

Y2k, where exactly did yoyo say "vote in the first hour of the game"? All I see is "get involved".

I don't think yoyoyozo is scum, honestly i have no idea, how could any of the town players? the best we can do now with no info is post things to get reactions out of people. yoyoyozo was likely just doing this on me. ##UNVOTE

So yassem admits to having a plan to kill certain people before the game even starts. Seems pretty scummy. Was this plan hatched after the role PM arrived and before the game starts?

yoyoyozo's first post was to vote for ghug. then he calls me out, and i attribute it to my first post not trying to call out anyone yet because, well, i don't have any serious thoughts on who is scum yet because many haven't posted yet. i do appreciate the effort to try to get others to post. i will try to do that over the next couple of hours as more people join the game.
DeathLlama8 (514 D)

Really mrh? That's the game you're going to play?
Squigs44 (273 D)
05 May 15 UTC
Regarding votes, it doesn't matter how often you vote, as long as you put your voice out there. If you are giving good reads often (AT LEAST once a day) and are constantly calling people out on scummy things, then you don't need to vote 10 times a day or whatever, that just makes the value of your vote less. Personally, I like to cast my vote when I have a serious idea of who I think is scum, and use my words when I think someone is acting scummy but might just be a bad townie.
Yoyoyozo (65 D)
05 May 15 UTC
No, voting in the first hour is not a requirement or an expectation. I have no idea where y2k got that rediculousidea from. I have half a mind to say that he could be trying to start confusion but I'll let him explain himself.

Hey, new mafia game!

##VOTE Vashta, because it's not a mafia game unless Vash gets day 1 votes (and me too I guess).

I've got finals this week and graduation on Saturday, so I'll be a bit quiet the first few days of game. I'll try to keep up though and post when I can. Inb4 anchor post.
