Take a look at what I said in the beginning of that paragraph.
I made this post prior to fully understanding how ZD runs mafia games. Namely, that the first day runs for an entire week, subsequent days can last for a few days, and the mafia are able to communicate privately during the day as well as night. Under circumstances I'm accustomed to as being normal, lynching an inactive is fruitless primarily because the player will be replaced when the next day begins. Secondly, under those circumstances the town chooses RNG to pick out an inactive, pressure them with votes, and see what the result is. Obviously as the game went on I learned that ZD runs mafia much differently than I'm used to and these strategies aren't as viable.
I disagree specifically with following a bandwagon - but I did not follow a bandwagon, I started one.
But seeing as how the first day cycle drags on and activity is not harped on as much as I'm used to, this presents something new to adapt to. As you can see from my post you quoted I pointed out that ALIT, if he plays like this, would be a player who actively lurks. I don't like that as I've seen scum pulling the same thing. A godfather, no less.
Note how I started the bandwagon: Looking at our activity list, while skipping Sadie who has given a legitimate excuse for inactivity.
And now look at where the bandwagon I started gave us. ALIT returns with a lengthy post full of content and explaining his inactivity. Satisfied, I have unvoted. As Diego pointed out this gave us two bandwagons and a decent probability that we may have a scum who jumped at the opportunity to join in on them.
You'll note that currently my vote is not on anyone and I am not pushing for a lynch in any particular direction. And votes against ALIT have all been unvoted (I believe). The purpose of my bandwagon has been fulfilled.
And now I would like to hear from you. You are also at the bottom bracket for activity with only 8 posts, 2 of which are double posts from just now. You voted for me early on in the day, likely out of joking, but now you return suddenly with a vote for me and accusing me of a contradiction.
So now I must ask... did you skim too much to notice what it was I was doing in making a bandwagon? A simple mistake for a townie who has been busy...
Or a bold move for a mafia member who wants to put the heat on a talkative player!
Of everything you've read for the day cycle, Salesman does not strike you as odd? DekuNut? JC? I've been told the latter two are acting differently than they normally do, yet this does not seem to phase you. And unlike them you have no problem with Diego or Eoghan, both of whom jumped on the musicfan & ALIT bandwagons that I created.
So what is it you're hiding, Linkdude74? Or perhaps Mafiadude74 would be a suitable nickname?
