Remembrance

Hi there.

Newbie 1320. Town Victory. I was vanilla town. I tried to lynch both town power roles day 1 and 2 and got them to claim. I was a true-blue newbie this game. Unfortunately, the scum got sandwiched with a bunch of theory from our PR set up. It basically made it impossible to win after day 3, especially after our Jail keeper blocked the kill and our cop investigated and caught Rob13(mafia thug). I replaced out mid-day 2, and replaced back in day 4 to clear up remaining confusion of a possible fake claim by our cop. We reached a compromise, and /no lynched that day and Zephyr (our cop) investigated my scum read. I was right. Overall evaluation: Scum: competent, especially when it came to choosing night kills. Town: Healthy, a lot of discourse and ideas being thrown around. A bit of paranoia in the end, but the player's heart was in the right place. :)

Newbie 1343: Ongoing.

Sometimes I make funny posts, I will put them here in case someone is 1. Bored enough to check my wiki (don't want to disappoint) and 2. Wants to be entertained.

Appeals:

Now, before I go to bed I would just like to say one last thing to all of you. I imagine at this point Zephyr is preparing a large argument, working the wheels in that ol' noggin of his and hoping that Kuro will be a sufficient distraction to get people off his case. But before you post that, and convince me, convince me hard with your amazing argument that absolutely obliterates my sunk cost fallacy and hard-earned confirmation bias, I would like to make an argument in return sir. I call it:

An appeal to pity

As you know, I am a complete newbie at this game, I am tiny, inexperienced, and frankly, have no clue what I'm doing. You were here, once Zephyr, you were here. In my shoes. Now, I wanted to start off my first game with a bang, Zephyr, a bang. I imagine that most newbies get lynched within the first day, maybe the second if they're lucky. Unable to defend themselves and contradicting themselves all over the place they're found easy targets by wiser scum who don't want to waste the night kill. For them, it is like taking candy from a baby Zephyr, Candy. From. A baby. You wouldn't steal candy from a baby would you Zephyr? No, of course you wouldn't. You're better than that. As you know, I will one day get out of this newbie pool and enter the big kids table, with their glassy stares and scarred, sexy visages, cigars in their mouths, with a stony continence. they'll have that on me, Zephyr they'll have stories. but I won't. Not unless you do something for me. I am appealing to your humanity when I ask you to do this, with my tiny voice I am stretching my deflated lungs here. I am pleading with you, Zephyr, please take your vote, the vote that changes everything, the vote that defines you as a human being in this place, and vote to kill yourself. I am asking this of you for you this for two reasons: 1) I want to be the first newbie that convinced scum(or town) to kill himself with his own vote on his first day with an appeal to pity argument. I will be remembered for this, take a look at my name Zephyr, I don't desire much, I just want to be...Remembered. 2) I will take it as a formal apology for forcing me to read your league of legends posts while examining your meta, I felt sick afterward.

That is all. I expect to see a dead body in here when I wake up. Have a good evening guys!

The taste of sweet, sweet town victory. MMMM.

Gather round kiddos: it's story time!

An Appeal to Mercy

Hello everyone, I have come back from the dusty badlands for NobodySpecial's special someone. No boyfriend should have to write flavor text about the lynching of his girlfriend, it isn't right! Moreover, Rachmarie did not kill anyone! Rob13 did all of it. Think about Rob13's meta, the killing of Cub was entirely his playstyle and line of thinking. There is no doubt in my mind that Rob did the devilish deed. More evidence for your consideration, Prohawk bravely prevented Rob from killing just yesterday. This means he was double dipping, the cur! Rob is a hands-on killer and the mastermind. He deserved what he got *spits on Rob's dangling corpse.* Yes, Insanity was his accomplice, but he was insane! In the good old U.S. of A, a plea of insanity is considered grounds for forced admission to a mental hospital NOT execution of a pure, but poorly constructed mind. Mrs. Marie dutifully replaced into a slot with a troubled history. Yet, there has been no blood split. I know, in my heart, this is because she could not bear to kill us simple towns folk. She is innocent, innocent I say! I do this in part because Nobody has been good to me, and really, hasn't he been good to all of us? He has educated us in the ways of Mafia and he should be spared, spared from this horrific farce of a trail. We owe him. In closing I suggest we do as the Ancient Athenians once did, a wise society that always left the door open. I humbly request that Rachmarie be exiled from this heart broken and war torn community, so that we may be at peace. Hasn't there been enough death already? Do the right thing /Exile RachMarie.

Vanilla Town. Yes, I imagine many of you are shocked that I am vanilla town. Before I get lynched, I think you should know that I'm only defending myself for you guys, let me explain:

Appeal to Consequence

The case against me is pretty much that I'm trying too hard. I recommend you stop, not because I'm town, but because it will be too painful for you to lynch me. See, there's a psychological effect called cognitive dissonance. It's when your expectations do not cohere with reality. I imagine many of you have felt slight pain when being wrong about a player you tunneled in mafia. Pain, and then anger. This anger will approximate two types of responses, "It was his fault for playing scu--oh wait" and "I isoed him just now and it was really obv. he was town." To the first, the cognitive dissonance will be hard and fast, enhanced by my pro-town play, it will be hard to rationalize. Nevertheless, I have faith you'll eventually come to the conclusion that it was my fault. As Yoda used to say, "Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate and hate, leads to suffering" That's not cool guys, the dark side is cool, but debilitating psychological pain, not so much. The latter group of players are fooling themselves into believing that if they just looked hard enough, they would have instantly discerned that I was town and that it was okay, because it's not that they're incapable of investigation: it's just that they couldn't be bothered to. There's a special place in my heart for slackers, but it's coated in saturated fats and cholesterol. :mad: Cognitive dissonance damages our identity and self-confidence, I implore you to reconsider this action, not for me, but for yourselves. And if not for yourselves, at least for the newbies who will be experiencing it for the first time in mafia. Shit's painful yo.

Anyway, if that's not enough to convince you: here are my suggestions on what to do afterwords, in case you decide to hunt scum. Maybe, it will provide a distraction from all that pain and guilt you're going to be feeling. :(

Feel free to leave comments and hellos below this sentence. :)
