Re: [game] Princess Bride Day 3

It's also used patronizingly. You've never said to a friend "we certainly didn't see that coming" even when it was just the two of you?

Nice FUD. Keep trying. Doesn't make you look any better.

How is it defending when he's still on my list, still suspicious to me, but not my top vote?

You make no sense.

It's true that scum does that, and I wasn't the only one to say that. I don't know if they did that here, but it was something to look into.

I've used the phrase "Well I didn't see that coming" before.

@ line 2: that's the exact play of mafia defending a partner that they see is outted. Give possible reason they're not mafia. Make an excuse not to vote for them immediately (you claimed you were waiting on further checkins). Say they're still suspicious, so if things go poorly you can vote for him and it's not out of the blue.

@ line 4: It's surely something to look into, but that is not the only reason ekster was suspicious. There were two days worth of ekster looking bad, and it was topped off by the top person pointing this out dying. I was willing to take the chance he was being framed, because with everything considered, there's a much higher chance in my eyes that he's scum.

No, I haven't... but it starting to sound like you're slipping.

But I really would want to hear from others as well. We're 12-13 in the game but it feels like only 5 or 6 are here. :/

I'm not going to bother arguing this point then. It's likely a regional thing. I would never say that phrase in the singular, unless it were negative, "No one saw that coming."

You have it all wrong, and no it's not the exact play of a mafia defending a partner. I was always ok with him dying, but I see more people worthy of my vote at the moment. There are a lot of mafia left, and the more you talk the more I'm sure it's you.

How can you speak for everyone when you don't know what they think?

Unless you know how your mafia partners feel.

And you keep trying to push this and argue this, but it holds no water and looks really stupid if you don't put your money where your mouth is.

So vote me, or try to actually find the mafia.

It's a saying...

»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pl ··· jestatis
»uncyclopedia.wikia.com/w ··· izing_we - despite being a sarcastic version of an encyclopedia is actually dead on with a bunch of examples from common language

I could find more. Just google any form of "royal we" "patronizing we" "singular we" etc

I am trying to actually find the mafia. I think I found ekster. I'm therefore voting for him.

Ouch.

That aside, if Z was my partner who decided to defend me while I was 'outed'... she would've done it much sooner, and not be one pushing me the most earlier on.

And if GBR was my partner, I wouldn't be pointing at him every time I mentioned my list of suspects.

I don't have any partners. I'm just a lonely townie.

And as it's only the three of us right now, it's really easy to say the other two are partners. Heck, I could easily suggest you two are partners trying to distance yourselfs while making me look like I'm partnered up with one of you. Others need to chime in.

I'm off to lunch. The most sense I think any of us have made is that others need to talk. This day has taken multiple real life days and there's only a few ppl who've popped in. Of note:

Chlen is online right now and not talking (although I guess he says dslr opens up on his homepage or something).
tmo's said two things.
modem hasn't said much more.
yock's been offline
BR hasn't said anything
aztec has given short responses with votes
brom came on to say one thing yesterday and hasnt followed up

I'm fairly useless... I am not allowed to vote.

I know I haven't been saying much but this is the last week before exams here at school and I have to make test... review sheets, etc... I can play more next week.. but as I said the ONLY way I am usefull is that I am not mafia.

I know I could say more.. but I can't convince people of anything when I am town... or when I am mafia... and the only power I would have is my vote and I'M NOT ALLOWED hhaha.

If you can't vote, you'd be harmful to the town in the long run.

I know... I didn't know what to do when we lost 3 townies in a row....as I said I am not good enough to be able to read stuff... come up with arguments for or against people... so I am kinda useless.

I do not think it's hard to tell those apart. Firstly, if I was mafia, only thing I would know is that the other kill wasn't a mafia kill. There's no way being mafia would give me any more information. Second, when there's already one kill that seems like a usual mafia hit, "It seems a Brute Squad had a lynching overnight" is pretty clear that a group had decided to lynch someone at night. Question it all you want, but I can't make it any more clearer.

lol the "if I was mafia argument" in princess bride game. - awesome.

I'm frequently on, i am playing in another game, and like reading the other forums. Also it is my homepage so if my browser is open somewhere, I am on. DSLR has been my homepage since I was 15 (now 27... well fuck me)

just checking in...

I apologize for being absent. between holiday parties at work, actually working, and family stuff, I haven't had much free time.

I don't have time to catch up right now either... time to get the kid ready for bed, and then more work. feel free to lynch me if you need someone to go. I won't be a huge loss to the town (other than being down a townie) and I don't know how much I'll be able to participate over the next couple weeks.

How about a role claim instead of a lynch...

This game hasn't been very interesting so far... imo.

So I'm just waiting for the crowd to thin, because it usually heats up when there are less people.

Take that comment as you wish.
