Hello, I'm here, just lurking.

cool what do you think about me and about the whole aragonn vs lau thing

@Arenado, c’mon man. Tell us if you’re busy. But I expect more from you.

Vote: Arenado

I can be talked off this but right now I don't like what I've seen.

I'll respond with Vote: Laurentus. I feel like somebody doesn't like me scratching a particular itch.

Vote: aragonn

i don't like this tit for tat. from the way he's been playing, Laurentus an obvious townread to me.

is this the vote that's going to be recast? let's test it if you do not risk it then you will get no biscuit.

would like to mention i can be talked off the aragonn wagon because i am also very interested in a sapphiron vote

@Laurentus I'll take my finger off the nuke button if you do.

We've already had our bout, now I'm trying to diffuse the situation. I haven't heard from him in a good while though.

I think I may have made a mistake and over-reacted. I still don't like your OMGUS vote, but that's just your style at this point. I will vote: Sapphiron as he has still not become more involved, well into D2, and Hydra has since provided a more detailed reads list.

I am also not liking Aren's votes, but he always has a weird style in these games.

... not liking Aren's *posts.

The cultural difference of what roles are based on just the role name is going to become a fucking pain isn't it?

Can we use Mafiascum's definition of what each role is instead?
And if someone claims roles please claim the whole thing in detail so we don't get the wrong ideas on what might be what

The only real named roles you're going to be seeing from us (as in this community) are the Werewolf roles of Wolf (Mafia), Seer (Cop), Defender (Doctor), and Villager (Town). If I were to go onto a Mafia forum and play there, I would expect to use the terminology there. Likewise, I hope you can respect that we happen to use sightly different terminology for these few core roles in our corner of the Internet.

Also note that we often play with custom roles which may not have a one-to-one correspondence to any named roles, so relying on a single definition list may not be comprehensive.

If you're talking about the role names that Ruguo is giving, then I'm not sure what those are either. I've just been googling but that's not always clear sometimes.

(Full disclosure because I think it's merited: Aren spent much of the last 10 hours being busy with RPG stuff, particularly the last 4 hours where we were in voice starting the FATE campaign (I'm sure a mod or two can confirm this fairly easily by glancing at the RP server).
He has also not slept to the best of my knowledge, which is problematic because at the time I write this, it's about 1pm for him.
Tl;dr I doubt he's giving much thought to the game, which IMO, I perfectly get because the rapid pace of posting in this thread is sort of making me avoidant too, which isn't helped by fairly heavy use of jargon and the occasional naked hostility.
Like, I get that the hostility and button-pushing is part of some people's playstyle, but it just makes me think of playing a shooter and having a twelve-year-old scream FAAAAAAAAG into my ear; it's not the same thing but it's comparable, and I neither need nor want that in my life.)

OMGUS vote

('tit for tat' is a game theoretic concept that is universally applicable unlike jargon of the form 'Oh My God U Suck'
but actually seriously though)

(Batma n was the Adventure Sphere, that's just Rick. Don't know the other though.)

I am using as much jargon as possible to help people here prepare for stuff like the MU champs, because I was exhausted trying to figure this shit out back then, while simultaneously trying to do well.

I mean the mechanical role, not the themed one.

This is 100% understandable as it's the main reason I and I think many others jumped on a D1 bandwagon that led to lots of drama. I understand this I'm trying to respect diffrent cultures of play but I get it certainly.

I mean I get it but also this isn't that and a lot of players here are playing for the first time and I'm certain the jargon is throwing them off.

Hell I just ignoreit at this point.

I'll Unvote now that I've heard from Laurentus again.

That's fair. One thing we should consider going forward is having warm-up games with one or two semi-experienced people thrown in to just gently ease new players into things. That's a discussion for a different thread, though.

are these votes based on meta or something

I was starting to townread you because I was assuming that you staying away from the action D1 was so you looked a bit scummier due to your now outed investigative role, but now I'm a bit confused as to why you're still poking the Sapph route again
