Sorry for the inactivity, but I was in another State (Texas) in a hotel with really slow internet, up until last night. I would like to start with a little aside and say I was the reporter in Mafia: Basic. Don't know if anyone ever told you.
However now that I have read through this thread I have an opinion.
Vote: Dojindog
Why?
Exhibit A:
Quote:
Hmm... Roy you are acting slightly suspicious. You've mainly been just commenting on other people's opinions not adding too much yourself. that would be a nice medium too what Sithdarth was saying earlier (your damned if you post too much and your damned if you post too little.)
|
He accuses Roy of being suspicious because he's just tagging along, when all he really did for the rest of the thread was follow Mes around with her arguement with Sith. (While I don't think either of you are mafia yet, just players with opposing viewpoints. I must say it was a nice way to gather information on
other players.)
Exhibit B:
Quote:
Yes but that doesn't mean you have to restate the evidence that just makes it even more confusing than it already is thus making it easier for potentially harmful people to get away with multiple slip-ups
|
So presenting evidence and re-itterating facts is bad? Am I just reading this wrong? Isn't that what a lawyer (And in this game everyone is a prosecution and a defense lawyer) does? Restate evidence that supports their veiw while denouncing their opponent's evidence? How does evidence make things confusing?
Exhibit C:
Quote:
Hrmm... While I hate to take sides with Mesden I gotta admit she makes a good point. Sithdarth does seem to be trying to convince everyone that he is good and innocent (a bad approach to this game in my opinion) and that Mesden is aggresive and evil and bad (a good approach to this game in my opinion). While that may seem all noble and nice and what not that doesn't work as well in Mafia because you have to vote quickly else the mafiate's will get you. So I think I will have to go with Mesden and Vote:Sithdarth
|
I don't see this whole vote quickly or the mafia's gonna get you thing. Perhaps I'm just leaning more on Sith's thought style but you don't need to vote just to vote. You need to vote when there is a reson to vote. Am I saying wait till the last moment? No, but don't vote because it seems there is a 'call to vote.' And why do you hate to take sides with Mesden. Personal vandetta, fear she's scummy? Also Mesden was doing the same thing as Sith here, wording her phrases so she appeared good and Sith bad. It seems Mes just did a better job convincing him.
To clarify, I don't see how deducing and reasoning over time can be bad. Does that mean I think we should wait forever, no.
Exhibit D and E:
Quote:
A facade is difficult to maintain under extended periods of mental duress that's the foundation upon (to my understanding) Mesden's questioning is based. If you are innocent then you should have no problem whatsoever dealing with Mesden's doubt in your character. Even if she says wasn't serious at first that is how it's working out (in my opinion).

Why would the innocent person be mad at being told he/she was guilty they know it's not true. Just because someone decides to tell me that the sky is green why should it bug me if I have already chosen to tell them no it's blue you are wrong and they persist it's not my problem. It is your choice wether you reply to this post or not. I would take that as your defense. I don't know that other people would but, why should you worry if they vote to ban you and you're innocent you just showed the people who voted to ban you that they were wrong and should be more careful. Well anyway it's getting to be bedtime for me so I'm gonna go saw some logs g'night!

This line of thinking is completely wrong. Innocent men are sent to prison because they look guilty, because people want them to be guilty, etc. If someone (lets say a police officer) was threatening your life (death penalty, as in this game) because he thought you did something, even if you knew you didn't. You would get frustrated, upset, and fearful. After all you're an INNOCENT man going to be put to DEATH for someone elses crime, and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
I eagerly await your rebuttal.
