It doesn't matter who gets killed or voted off or whatever. We're all going to die anyway. Somebody set up us the bomb.

!Vote uber-paddler

Vampyr 06-25-2008 02:38 PM

Re: Space Madness Round 1 - Strange Transmission
 
!Retract uber-paddler

The willingness of everyone to suddenly jump uber-paddler is leading me to believe he is also innocent.

I say everyone who isn't crazy cast your vote for the same person, and see if people who have already voted refuse to vote for that person, or suddenly stop posting.

!Vote Swan


He acted pretty ridiculously crazy earlier in the thread.

I've had enough of you and your manipulating ways.
You have stated in every game such as this, that you attempt to manipulate everyone right away.

And you said everyone who isn't crazy, all vote for the same person.
We are.
We are voting for uber paddler, apparently.
So you and your flock of crazies, can go and vote for Swan.

Dyne 06-25-2008 02:49 PM

Re: Space Madness Round 1 - Strange Transmission
 
Honestly, the first round should be the purest because all the crazies haven't had much chance to deceive. Why start speculating so soon?

I do miss earth and its conniving ways, but this is just ridiculous.

I too, was voting for Uber paddler when there was a minority group voting for him, and the majority seemed to be going with Germanator, and people were giving odd reasons for voting for him, reasons that did not make sense, and were more of a ploy to cover up their true actions.

But once votes started to build on Uber, everyone switched to him, meaning that the crazies don't mind if he dies either.

This isn't manipulation, yet at least, it's just simple logic. Anyone here can sit back and read through the thread and see that what I propose makes sense.

And your attempt to start a witch hunt leads me to believe you too are crazy, and possibly trying to protect Swan, if he is crazy (which he was acting like).

If everyone suddenly switches to Swan, we'll know he's innocent, or that the crazies are just voting for one of their own, and will switch their votes in the last few minutes. Doing the latter, however, will definitely show who is truely crazy.

No, if everyone suddenly switches to Swan, we'll know that you now can assume you have control of people's minds, and their vote of confidence that you are not a crazy.

My votes are not going on peoples posts. At all. Not now, anyways.
They are going by the flow of the actual story dialogue itself.
As this is the first round, I am joining the majority, as most others are doing, as to not draw attention to themselves, considering this madness just started occuring, and everyone is dazed, and in a blind rage of what to do.

This is longer than a usual first round, though. This is also the hardest mafia yet for the good guys to win, since it looks like we won't even know if we've killed a crazy person or not.

For the good guys, speculating as early as possible is the only way to win.

I don't mean to sound out of character, but the story is only for entertainment, isn't it? It doesn't actually reveal anything about the game, does it? It never has before.

And that's why I retracted Uber_Paddler and voted Germanator.

!Clarification Dylflon, did you assign roles before or after you asked us to write our background?? I'd like to know if it's random or not.

It's random

I'd like to assume it does, considering it has our actual names in it, and you can subtly draw conclusions from it, in partner with posts from the people, as to unusual behaviour of a normal person who is covering something up (IE posts), or the in-story actions.

But that would be a clarification moment.
And I'm far too lazy to move the mouse up to select the orange hue.

"Good guys" can also be crazy.

Innocent people are innocent. And if last game is any indication, us innocents can seem like the bad guys sometimes (and get clusterfuck voted off for no reason at all.)

I'm still sticking with Uber because I'm shallow. :)

He speaks the truth. The narration is only for flavor. It will not determine who is crazy. I have to make everyone seem possibly crazy in the narrative to keep it fair.

Which is exactly why I'm using the "clusterfuck vote" as an indication that that person is innocent. :D

If that's the case, then my reasoning means nothing.

But, unless Sir Uber Paddler decides to participate sometime before Thursday noon, I will keep my vote as him.

As will I. I would rather vote someone off in the first round who isn't participating than someone who is, crazy or not.

And Vampyr, I'm perfectly willing to switch my vote to anyone if you can provide a logical reason for doing so. However, since it's so early in the game, I doubt you can. For now, I will stick with my "least harm" vote.

First of all: !Clarification Do crazy people know they're crazy? Or are they told they are not crazy, because from their point of view, they aren't?

So I was thinking. We won't be told who was what. But we do have to find a way to figure it out, so I assume there will be hints in the narration.
This guy who thinks he's George Washington makes a good point. I like his 18th century's qualities, so I'll go with his reasoning.

!vote Uber Paddle

Edit: also, he hasn't posted yet.

You seem to have missed this !clarification Dylflon. Unless of course I just missed your response to it...

Dylflon 06-25-2008 03:35 PM

I didn't miss it, I just chose not to respond to it.

It's more fun that way.

Angrist 06-25-2008 03:42 PM

Re: Space Madness Round 1 - Strange Transmission
 
Ooh, I hit a nerve!

Anyway, now that we know that voting for Uber_Paddler came out of nowhere, I will change my vote again (which is currently on Germanator). I'll have to read through all the posts again to decide who is most suspicious.

By the way, we don't know any of the rules this time, do we?

I'm not providing logical reasons for voting for someone, I'm providing logical reasons not to vote for someone. They could be completely wrong, but Dylflon said we had to pay attention and be careful. At the moment this is the only thing I have to go on, and it makes the most sense to me. In this game, especially at the beginning, going with the bandwagon usually results in the "bad" guys winning.

Angrist 06-25-2008 04:26 PM

Re: Space Madness Round 1 - Strange Transmission
 
But we now know that roles were assigned randomly. So the fact that somebody happens to be the captain, doesn't mean a thing.

!I retract Germanator

I counted the votes:

uber_paddler: 5
The Germanator: 3
Swan: 2
Yoda 9864: 1
Vampyr: 1

Swan 06-25-2008 05:43 PM

Re: Space Madness Round 1 - Strange Transmission
 
Of course the Vampyr wants me out. He has a deep burning hate for me the lives deep within him.


But I shant return the vote for I have pride. I know I am not crazy.....but do crazy people know they are crazy?

I'm intrigued by Combine's emphasis on the word crazy in each of his posts.



So here goes.

Oh all right, I don't think it's fair that Germy gets voted off when uber still hasn't joined in. !retract Germanator and !vote uber_paddler

Re: Space Madness Round 1 - Strange Transmission
 
!vote uber_paddler

Sorry paddles. You just never seem to want to play when push comes to shove. Consider this the end.

uber_paddler 06-25-2008 07:34 PM

Re: Space Madness Round 1 - Strange Transmission
 
Hmm, let's see here. I certainly like Vampyrs way of thinking, but is he just acting sensible so we don't think he's crazy? Either way, his idea of supporting Swan seems the best way to keep myself in the game, so perhaps that's what I'll do. Hmm, rash decision certainly must not be made yet....I'll have to consider this further. The fact that the captain's the one who locked us all up screams nutzo, although I doubt anyone who spends so much time around contraband would have gone with delving into it themselves, which would make them crazy.

Oh btw, sorry about being so late to the party, but I was busy getting my Big Boss emblem and hadn't even been on teh intarwebz. Back now, though.

Aladuf 06-25-2008 08:32 PM

Here's a throwaway vote as I haven't been able to keep up with this first thread.

!vote Professor S

Don't worry Prof. no strategy behind that, I just saw someone who had no votes and voted since I didn't want to just jump on the bandwagon for voting off a person when I don't actually know the reasoning behind the votes for said person.

Re: Space Madness Round 1 - Strange Transmission
 
Can someone explain what this Swan theory is?

All you're doing, is the exact same thing we're doing with Uber Paddler, except the difference is we're jumping on a bandwagon under general assumption.

You all, are jumping on a bandwagon under guidance of Vampyr.

uber_paddler 06-25-2008 09:37 PM

Re: Space Madness Round 1 - Strange Transmission
 
Well i just think Vampyr's theory makes sense, and there's not really much to go on at this point other than gut feeling.

Fyacin 06-25-2008 09:37 PM

Re: Space Madness Round 1 - Strange Transmission
 
!Clarification May we communicate outside of this thread about the game?
