Nation Simulator- MkII
It is that time again - to see how the citizens of webDip would run a country. Let's plan on starting after the Mafia game, but we can get our ducks in a row now. We will need a volunteer(s) to help run the show. This could take some amount of knowledge and dedication, as well as an unbiased nature. Please respond if you are interested in helping or participating.

@Jamie, now you're saying you find my HR vote specifically to be suspicious? Why? What about it? Why do you feel it's more productive to make snarky attacks on my character than to make arguments against anyone you suspect? Are you even going to bother giving a reason for your brainbomb vote, or should we just assume it's for pretty out of game nonsense?

I like the argument against OB. His voice sounds more like diplomacy press than natural talking right now, and I think there's a reason for that.

I'm not really seeing Chaqa as scummy. I think the nature of his lurk had been intentionally "loud" in that he's provoking discussion, which he wouldn't do as scum. I don't think we can hold not scumreading me against him either, as that strategy has proven itself to be pretty fucking terrible the last few games and he's (just barely) smart enough to notice that.

I'm not sure what to think of Vecna yet, and I don't find anything useful in y2k and Scarlett bumping heads.

@HR, what did you think of the little wagon on you and its aftermath?

Observations #1

My first set of observations and questions ranging from page 4-8.

@Goldfinger: Thanks for the vote tracker link.

@Jamiet99uk: “It seems odd that you vote for Captainmeme on the basis that he has been a lurker in previous games, despite the fact that he has posted meaningfully in this game, whilst at the time you voted, there were still 7 people who hadn't posted at all.”

-Define ‘meaningfully’ because to my knowledge Captainmeme has posted once.

“You're the one who's had a personality transplant, Veccybabes.”

-Are you serious? Vecna is literally repeating himself from the previous game. Am I the only one that sees this?

@Vecna: “Im so excited. I just cant hide it. ND's about to loose control and I doubt anyone here will like it.”

-What are you even talking about and what is your obsession with me? It is interesting that your first set of few posts is very similar to your previous game. You talk about me being an oracle, antagonize ghug, and mention rabbits.

AND then you threaten another player by stating you want to eat him: “Looking over the first 6 pages, this Teacon7 guy is a clear rabbit. We should remove his little hide and eat him and make him bungle from a tree.”

“Just based on voting habits I had the entire scumteam pegged there since you were all on our town PR's.”

Are you rewriting history now? I was the only one last game that had meme/brainbomb. I was wrong about you and that was it and y2k.

Déjà vu? This is kind of creeping me out because I am getting flashbacks to the past game D1.

@Brainbomb: “Or OB_Gyn_Kenobi having been a Town PR 3 games in a Row and the odds of him being scum elevated;”

AND (page 8)

“4) Ob_Gyn_Kenobi has only been a bad guy once on this site.”

-Brainbomb: You are aware that role selection is random right?

@Ghug: You stated, “No good reason really” in your response to brainbomb. The full quote is: “A. I joined the HR wagon because I was busy training the mods with him and I like, for no good reason really, to get a vote down almost immediately after the game starts.” You state that this first vote is a, joke vote, but is that your not-so-good reason for voting early? So is the not so good reason because it was a joke vote or because of some other reason? I am trying to see if there is a discrepancy in the initial reason for this vote because I am a bit confused about your answer.

@Y2k: You state that your “HR vote was a reaction test” and you argue that brainbomb sticks out to you. Can you provide a specific response to your rxn that sticks out to you?

@Chaqa: (as of this page, 6) you have made two posts. You state: “Having to make five substantial posts is going to get me killed...”

-Why? After six pages you have nothing to say? To you have any substantial thoughts on the game thus far or the wagon forming on you?

@Krellin:

Is there a need to antagonize and name call everyone in the game that may have a different opinion than you? Others may be doing this as well, but your posts are sometimes downright nasty. Take a valium or something.

@DemonOverlord:

“You guys have absolutely NO chill, it's day one”

-Is that your substantive analysis and post on the game thus far? After six pages you have nothing to say?

@Teacon7:

“So here's a question: how much can you _quantitatively_ tell from voting patterns on the first day, apart from how the posts present themselves?”

-As the game progresses you can start to see patterns. Looking at D1 votes has helped me previously, especially in M11 (which I solved) by looking at D1 voting and comparing it to quantitative data from all webdip mafia games.

@DemonRHK:

“but ND is failing to be useful elsewhere.”

-I sleep, work, and then play this in my free time. Get used to me not being a constant poster. I post when I can.

Yeah brainbomb, I'm not responding to that. Either the town sees my point and lynches you for the reasons I've given, or they don't and you survive to spam another day. If you think you're being "very substantive this game" you're only correct in that the volume of posting you've done has been substantial, but the content of them is lacking.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
21 Mar 16 UTC
@ Ghug: Your HR vote, and later your explanation for it, are highly suspect, yes.

You openly said you joined Brainbomb's little HR wagon "for no good reason really" (direct quote) and yet in almost the same breath you describe y2k as scummy for voting for HR.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
21 Mar 16 UTC
Also, Ghug, I said clearly that I was not voting for Brainbomb for OOG personal reasons. My stated reason for voting Brainbomb is stronger than your reason for voting HR.

@Krellin: Why do you think Vecna stating he wants to eat a player and trying to antagonize me is funny?
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))
21 Mar 16 UTC
@ND

I actually very much agree with Jamie on Warden's vote. When reading the thread I saw a pretty substantial post from Captainmeme and then within a few posts, Warden voting him for lurking. It sticks out very strongly as if Warden hadn't actually read Capt's post at all. Not great. I'm surprised you're querying Jamie on that when I think it's pretty clear why he questioned Warden.

@ghug

I have no opinion. I think the first few pages of jokes & potshots in Mafia threads are meaningless, which is why I don't ever join in. Whoever an early wagon appears on - we all know it won't stay on them, so I never buy that it gives any reactions of note anyway, whether from the target or from other people.

@bb

Well done for entirely ignoring the fact that I called out your unarguable use of gambler's fallacy and instead tried to paint that as me defending OB. Perhaps you just don't know what it is, so here's a link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler's_fallacy

You categorically and unarguably used it, which is either lazy or incompetent. Either way; get a better argument.
Jamiet99uk (808 D)

@ Vashta: Not at all. I hate the unvote mechanic, but I'm not GMing this game, and therefore I will play the game using the tools given to me.

@ND -- fuck off. Seriously. I dont' really give a shit if I offend you. You also don't care if you offend me. I don't play by your playground rules, because they are hypocritical IN THE EXTREME. You are one of those whiny little <fluffy bunnies> that tells someone to stop calling other people names, but your CALL ME NAMES while telling me not to call people names.

Therfore, yoru problem is name calling...your problem is just that I'm so much damned better at it than you.

That's why I loves me some sloppy BrainBomb....because libtard freak that he is, he can sling as good as he catches, and doesn't bitch about it like a <fluffy bunny>.

So....yeah...grow pair and stfu.

Stop being such a <fluffy bunny>. Grow a pair.
krellin (80 DX)
21 Mar 16 UTC
@ND, you essentially called me nasty, and then implied that I was mentally unstable, in that I must take a valium.

"Ohhhhhhh....but....but....I never *directly* called you a name....blah blah blah..."

Yeah yeah yeah Ted Cruz....your nasty rhetoric is couched in poll-tested and approved data. Your stick a <green and soft> <fluffy bunny>

There....got it <sticky sweet> <purring kitty>!?!!? Grow a pair and quit playing yoru childish "krellin hurt my feelings" games.

ND (879 D)
21 Mar 16 UTC
@Krellin: Um, I said that Vecna is playing very similar to his opening in the previous game based on his current statements. That is suspect to me and now you are calling me a <fluffy bunny> because I called Vecna on this and asked why you have to resort to insults continually.

ND (879 D)

"Others may be doing this as well, but your posts are sometimes downright nasty. Take a valium or something. " -ND

"you essentially called me nasty, and then implied that I was mentally unstable, in that I must take a valium." -Krellin

When did I call you mentally unstable? I mean my statement is on this page, just quote it. There is no need to add a statement that wasn't there.
krellin (80 DX)
21 Mar 16 UTC
@ND, no, I am calling you <fluffy bunny> and <purring kitty> because I don't want you to have an emotional breakdown if I call you the actual names on the tips of my finger tips. I ALSO do not intend to call you <stick sweet> and <green and soft> as modifiers to said names....but because I grow so tired of your FEIGNED OUTRAGE I am using substitute names that may appease your girlish sensibilities.

I insult you because you bring the insults on by your behavior, such as your FEIGNED OUTRAGE.

Drop it, or I shall be forced to taunt you again.
