| Stefl1504 said: What I don't get is why some people act like it is a bad thing he played on another site, somehow it feels like the people just want to see his games and then analyse his behaviour, which isn't such a bad thing, but if he just don't want people looking at his games, why should we bother further. Now, to the main point: While I am suspicious of ABC I think its not the right time to put to much focus on him yet, we should wait for trangent and his observations, then try to discuss further and then we still can focus on him again. I just mean we should keep our eyes open and not only on him... |
For the first paragraph, I don't think anyone's so much as implied that it's a bad thing that he played elsewhere. Personally speaking, though, I find it an interesting claim for a few reasons.
First, his description of SFB as someone who "[w]e usually lynch...round one because he never comes back on and delays the game" does not mesh with my own evaluation of SFB's performance on this site. After all, SFB has created at least two alts to keep playing mafia on this forum, and I don't recall him disappearing from any game I've played with him. From this, I think we can infer that ABC is either 1) lazy when it comes to observation, 2) prone to exaggeration, or 3) lying. I don't see the point behind #3, but the others are useful in gauging ABC.
Second, and more importantly, it tells us that he should be fully familiar with how forum mafia is played: after all, according to him he's played several games of mafia already. If so, why would he ever have believed that my vote on him was permanent? He used this to justify almost voting me at one point, if you recall, and this despite my having earlier voted for Stefl, and despite initially treating my vote as a joke. Has anyone ever heard of any game of mafia, forum or otherwise, where you're not allowed to change your vote? Because I have not. Additionally, he's repeatedly been prepared to jump on people who've been absent for more than an hour, or who quote him when he's asleep. This is not something I'd expect from someone who's played before, especially someone who's played with the oft-absent c03n3nj0, so why is he making such a point of it now that some people were giving him a closer look?
As for your second paragraph, I admit I'm a bit surprised. I see the value in not getting tunnel vision on a single player, of course, but why did you prefer to have us all stop interrogating ABC and instead wait for trangentspree?
