So it seems suspicious to me that [b]Karstark[/b] appears to be trying to keep us from going there.[/quote] Meh, talk about it if you want. I just thought there might be more fruitful discussion to be had. Which is what has begun to happen now, so I am happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Stokeworth Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 [quote name='House Manwoody' post='1645495' date='Jan 12 2009, 06.54']Bywater, a) What is a ringmaster type role? Just someone who stops others geting lynched? b) Why do you assume that it's a throwaway thing? We shouldn't discount the possibility that there's a good reason for it, although you're right that it does seem more likely at this stage in the game.[/quote] These have mostly been covered, but a ringmaster gets to name a person to be unlynchable the next day, normally a night action but on Day 1 is often bestowed early in the day. That's why I think it was a throwaway - not the role, but who the role protected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including telling me I should do something suspicious because in my reading so far I haven't found anything suspicious enough to vote for. I don't just read other people's cases. If I find something I deem suspicious, I'll put it forward. You play your game the way you want to, I will too. I'm off for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I can understand come people being busy and posting barely nothing... but when such a person does accuse higher poster of not doing enough, I start worrying.

House Payne Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Does the ringmaster normally have to use the role each day, or can they skip it if they find nobody worth protecting?

[i]quote of my vote[/i] Meh, talk about it if you want. I just thought there might be more fruitful discussion to be had. Which is what has begun to happen now, so I am happy.[/quote] Agree with your first paragraph. It just seems odd to me that if you felt it was time to get past role play, your first order of action was to amp up the book discussion. Manwoody makes a good point here, though, and I may move my vote to Poole or Selmy if we don't hear something more substantial from them soon: [quote name='House Manwoody' post='1645772' date='Jan 12 2009, 08.00']So I just re-read Poole, mainly because I thought Targ had missed Poole's vote. I was being stupid, but never mind that. But Poole has only 2 posts, and one of those was to jump on the biggest lynch target, moving Varner up to 4 votes. I don't like it, so i'm going to vote for [b]Poole[/b]. At least unless Poole starts to contribute more.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Stokeworth Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I thought that's what it would be, Manwoody. Predictable and unproductive. Pressuring a house to vote or post or whatever doesn't really work if they aren't around to see it. Glover was active around the time you posted that and had one of the higher post counts. If you really wanted people to place votes, then Glover was your best bet at that time. It seems as if you weren't really putting thought into who to apply pressure to. A low poster is a very safe place to sink a vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Tully Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 [quote name='House Erenford' post='1645797' date='Jan 12 2009, 10.20']Looking through last night's posts, this one seems rather odd to me. I mean, perhaps I am misreading, but it sounds like it is intended as a serious vote to me. Granted, I know there's not much to go on early in day 1, but that's really stretching things. It seems like [b]Selmy[/b] is trying to sound serious and contributive without actually contributing anything.[/quote] Yeah, my awesome case against Penrose consisted of "he's an evil loser." I was pretty certain you were all going to follow along, and frankly, I'm shocked that nobody else jumped on board. What the hell. :mad: My questions were real, but my vote wasn't a serious attempt to get Penrose lynched. It was to get his attention, to make sure he answered. I was gathering information. But now I'm curious. You claim that I was trying to act as if I was contributing, without actually saying anything of importance. So are you saying that you weren't at all interested in Penrose's answer to my question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is fake, there was absolutely no reason to reaveal this on day one.

House Velaryon Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Okay, so it seems that the bulk while I was away was reaction to my "claim", and reaction to those reactions. I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say that while attacking me on it is a little silly, it doesn't stink of evil to me. Evil are usually careful, and that is way too likely to blow up in your face. I'm not discounting a brainless moment from an evil player, but at the same time it's not going to count heavily against the people who somehow suspect me based on it. However I do need to re-read the defenses of me. It's usually counter reactions that tell more than real reactions. If there's a symp in the game, now would be an excellent opportunity to fake symp me. Give me an hour or so, as I have stuff around the house to do at the same time. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I like to post, what can I say? i'm a postaholic. That won't change just because the rp stage is over. I hope we won't have another silly debacle like a couple of games back, when there was a serious case on someone for "roleplaying too much"...
