Oh noes...the AIDS Researchers...
Just listened to Obama blathering about the AIDS researchers on the Malaysian flight. Oh noes...the AIDS researchers....suddenly this flight is more important than others, because of the AIDS researchers...

If it were just shmucks like you and I that had died…not so big a deal. But the AIDS researchers…oh noes…Anyone else think that every life is precious, not just the AIDS researchers….OH NOES!!!

Unless you're expecting us to see it as a joke and thereby clear you. A perfect example of a legitimate WIFOM situation that we can't make a leap either way regarding without outside information. Though in the meantime, all you're doing is confusing the poor people who can't separate a joke from the rest of the game's information.

Anyways, there have been a lot of developments tonight that bear further consideration, some of which I think should stay out of the group's discussion. For example, analysis of obvious jokes is hardly worth anyone's time, because the main purpose of them is levity.

ghug - I don't know, why don't you actually provide reasoning -- cause and effect.

For example -- Player A is making wild ass accusations constantly, beginning from the first hours of Day 1 when there was no information to go on. He subsequently accused anyone who disagreed with him of being suspicious. His action indicate a person who is trying to control all conversation, and direct it specifically away from anything he does not want to discuss, and is intended to cause fear of being lynched in anyway who expresses a contrary opinion.

He claims that his opinions are fact. He claims that all other's opinions are sucpisious.

This sort of behavior is strongly indicative of ANTI-Town behavior...and is therefore considered to be Lizard behavior.


See what I did there. I described specific action. I described it's negative affect on the town and conversation, and I attributed it to something specific.

I'm not against conversation. I'm not against dissenting opinion (or I'd lynch every one of you). I AM against know-it-all LynchClowns who seek to control all conversation and stifle dissent.

Anyone fit that description that you can think of? Huh huh? Huh? Anyone? Huh???

If all you brilliant psychics out there are truly unable to determine that Chaqa's opening line was a fucking joke, then I suggest that BACK THE FUCK DOWN from making any further accusation based upon your guts and feeelings...as you have none.

Krellin, are you trying to describe me? I wasn't even here for the first hours of day one. I showed up eventually and started making accusations, because things had been happening at that point. I never accused you of anything, only pointing out the ways in which I found your arguments flawed. You're the one accusing me of being suspicious for disagreeing with you. I have never once claimed that my opinions were fact. I have claimed that facts are facts, and I made a case against somebody who I thought was most likely to be scum given the limited information. My actions have been focused on getting people to talk more, not less, and that should be apparent to anyone who's watching. Why you continue to paint this inaccurate picture is beyond me.

ghug - I was describing Player A. Now....if you guilty conscience convicts you, that is between you and the Lizard King. I could be describing any number of players. Why don't you read the thread and figure it out.

I'm making a point.

As for when you appeared, that is irrelevent. If you fit the mold (in part) because your behavior matches that anti-town behavior I have described during the time that you have been present....then it is time for you to examine your cold-blooded heart and find a way to make nice with the town.
krellin (80 DX)

It's coming up on Day 2 -- so it is time to put away all the petty...and I mean **petty**....bullshit and feckless accusations that marred Day 1.

My purpose in Day 1 was fully achieved -- I sparked more conversation so that you ALL could get better reads on people than anyone in this town. THAT is what we are supposed to be doing. I have done more to benefit this town, AND I offered to willing give up my vote to follow a Lurker-Hunting strategy that I alone proposed in an attempt to benefit this town.

I will modify my behavior as required on Day 2, given that we will have 4 dead townies to start the Day, and shit's about to get real.

WardenDresden (239 D(B))

Regardless, I think putting any more pressure on krellin overnight is a waste of time, since we have no idea if he'll survive the night, or what it would mean if he does. He's made a PR claim, and until further notice, it's something I thought we had agreed to trust. (Maniac aside)

Even if it's a lie, it's not an actionable lie until later, possibly much later. That's the point I wanted to try and get across earlier, though it seems that I didn't do so clearly. ghug, if you're going to accept the claim for now, why are you pressing on krellin so hard? You too bo_sox. You can't use the excuse that no one else has been talking, or been around, but we still have a large amount of focus on krellin based on information that we can't even really use until we get a guilty flip instead of focusing on spotting other scum.

Where did ILN go? Is he just being overwhelmed by the volume of posts (and possibly going to drop) or is there something nefarious about his absence?

Has anyone gotten anything other than a NULL impression of guak? Why has he been flying under the radar?

Apart from Chaqa's jokes, which can't and shouldn't be interpreted as anything but, what has he offered the humans? I'm not really seeing much, and it's THAT which makes him look suspicious to me rather than his levity. Why have jokes in general been attacked repeatedly, and by whom?

On a side note, who was running a vote tracker this game, and can we get a re-link?
Maniac (184 D(B))

Quick read on Chaqa...Here is edited version of his thoughts...


Squigs is Mafia….krellin suggesting a day 1 no vote? THAT is fucking suspicious…..
I still agree the chances of lynching a mafia are very small, I don't know if a no-lynch is the wise course. I'm not opposed to the idea, but I'm not sure it makes sense.
To be honest uclabb, even my theories aren't too strong…
Don't worry Squigs, I'm not voting for you, I don't see you as scum.
…krellin and Squigs probably aren't both mafia….I don't think either is mafia…
Squigs has been super-town…Squigs is inno…..[Squigs gets the bullet]….I don't know where this Squigs train came from. He seemed so obvious town to me…..You want evidence saying Squigs was town... it's day 1. There's barely any evidence, …
but I felt better about lynching you [Y2} than Squigs, who I felt was firmly town ….
It's day fucking 1. There's no evidence, it's a crap shoot. …I was sure Squigs was innocent

It seems a little inconsistant to me.

ghug (5068 D(B))
08 Jul 14 UTC
Warden, I'm not even pressing on krellin that hard. I believe his claim and I think he can be valuable to us, this all started because I asked him to quit whining and he flipped out at me. Hopefully it's all water under the bridge now.
krellin (80 DX)
08 Jul 14 UTC
ghug..."whining"? Really? Back with that again, huh? See...THAT is a character attack. When *your* head is on the fucking chopping block and you start defending yourself, I guess I will just write your defense off as bitching and whining, right?

That is ***exactly** what I was talking about, Lizard-Boy. You seek to make others irrelevant with that sort of comment. What you NEVER did was specficlaly address the defense I made. You ignored it. You called it whining. blah blah blah.

You have two choices - you can either accept someone's defense, or you can offer a valid critique of it. You choose the third Lizard route....you dismissed it and ignored it, so that later on you can come back to it and use it to achieve your cold-hearted objectives..

If I die think only this of me...

I think Chaqa, Y2, ILN are non-human
I think Bo-sox and Pj are Human
I have Ghug, WD and Uclabb are probably human
Krellin is a big fat question mark
Semck and guak I'm unsure about

WardenDresden (239 D(B))
08 Jul 14 UTC
On a glance back, some people have been getting other than NULL impressions of guak, but for a relatively absent person, he's been getting very little scrutiny.

Guak, care to share why you felt that ILN made a good lynch target on day 1? Granted he failed to explain himself well, but I'd rather give the newbies benefit of the doubt initially than give that benefit to players who have shown they are good at playing the humans against each other, and I don't think reading anything into his *human* instinct's line is worth it. It's flavor, not a slip of any sort.

Maniac, Why did you make up some weird narrative about a bodyguard? A slip like yours is better left ignored than expanded upon.

bo_sox, Given that Maniac's post was more likely a slip than a roleclaim, why point it out? You already raised flags for me based on your krellin attacks during the day and night. How do you justify focusing on lizard-beneficial information as a good thing for the humans?
krellin (80 DX)
08 Jul 14 UTC
For example,. Chaqa made a joke. Some (ridiculously) saw it as a scum move to open the game, prompting a whole WIFOM discussion, etc.

Some of us said, "It's a joke - we accept his explanation. NEXT..." and moved on.

I would ask that as we move forward, we accept or reject people defenses. If you reject a defense, you must state WHY you reject it, not just wave a hand at someone and say they are this that or the other thing and leave the issue unresolved.

ghug (5068 D(B))
08 Jul 14 UTC
Jesus krellin, I was using the word I used before so that it would be easily findable.

You were whining. I understand the value of your actions yesterday, but they could have been done without the constant complaints about the pointlessness of even trying to do anything and the whining about poor old krellin who everyone hates so much. Throughout this entire discussion, you've acted like I'm some bully who's attacking you unfairly and trying to get you killed because we disagree. It's verifiable that you're the one who tried to kill me yesterday, not the other way around, and while I may not be particularly nice, I;m pretty sure you're an adult who can handle a little ribbing. The whining was annoying me, and I asked you to stop, and then this happened. If it weren't night, we would have wasted a bunch of valuable time because you're fragile and I'm stubborn. I propose we drop this and try to be a bit more civil going forward.
@Maniac: I guess you could, but I would not advise muting another player, would probably make the thread confusing.

what is the average age of webdiplomacy players?
Is there a statistic? I want to know. In a game I felt I was playing with the stubbornness of a child. He/she wanted ALL his way. All the negotiation was "this is mine mine mine". He/she couldn't see the repercussions of a bad decision because he/she wanted the gratification of now.

Seriously, knowing the age of a person before starting a game or a negotiation can help a lot. Psychological speaking.
