| AstroGamer said: I don't think the focus on the post's number is actually proving anything. Miscounting the posts is a simple and I don't think anyone's strategy would even use that. The number of posts and activity is far more important. Going on this point isn't really going anywhere. Mafia day talk is a valid possibility with everyone having powers but then again prof isn't very traditional so who's to say. Another point I thinking about is his definitions being loose so to speak. Being a part of the game's playable roster may not be a requirement. Characters one may think are town may be Mafia in this case for some strange. Not sure if all this is the case but, it is a good idea when someone decides to claim a character |
Post counts prove nothing?
Prof's non-traditionalness means day talk is LESS of a possibility?
Characters could be outside the roster and good and bad guys won't match the flavor?
Come on, these are all defenses against some of the most scummy behavior out there. You're basically telling us not to follow any leads we have so far. I'm really confused what your point about post number is anyway. First you say the number of posts prove nothing, then you say number of posts is more important. The whole point of Nickles argument was that the post count was ZERO and Noctis was trying to say it wasn't. It feels like you're trying to defend Noctis, while at the same time saying Noctis doesn't need defending. I agree that we've too little to go on with Noctis, but if you think we're getting nowhere with it, then start investigating, not defending.
The fact that this is a role madness game where most if not all people have powers should tell you prof's non-traditionalness is already at work. I'm not saying we should assume there's day talk, but if there isn't day talk, prof's non-traditionalness is NOT the reason for that, as his not being traditional is just as good a reason to think there is day talk as to think there isn't.
As for not being a part of the Smash roster, what would the point of a Smash flavored game be then? Sounds like you're trying to open up the possibility of claiming a non-playable character so you can do so later and not fear a counterclaim. And then you imply that town sounding characters might be scum? The last game we played, the bad guys in the flavor were scum, and the good guys in the flavor were town. In the Fire Emblem game, the same thing happened, with the entire scum team being villains. What's the point of having flavor if it doesn't match? Sure, making flavor hunting the easy way out isn't favorable, but that's why the Fire Emblem game had fakeclaims. In both the Fire Emblem game and the Starcraft game, flavor hunting would have helped town. Yet here you are basically saying to ignore the flavor altogether. Sounds to me like you're trying to put the idea into people's heads that considering good guys for lynching is a good idea, so that you can promote a mislynch. If we consider a Mario claimer for a lynch it should be because we don't believe his Mario claim, not because we think Mario is somehow scum. In short, Occam's razor would tell us that everyone is part of the roster and good guys are town and bad guys are scum. We shouldn't be considering stuff like that until we have good reason to believe the simpler answer can't explain what we've seen.
