It's not arbitrary; rishaed wasn't actually speculating on game mechanics, but you were.betiko wrote: 4) This means you agree this could be a game mechanic that I would know (although rishaed brought it up). Therefore you are doing the exact same thing as I just did. Speculate. But you are being arbitrary between what I said and what rishaed said, so not only you are speculating, you are taking sides, not just FOSing but voting in a quite serious way. You just cleared my doubt, you were half serious.
well here is a half serious vote:
unvote, vote mets
That being said, this is how D1 goes. No one should take it personally, and we can indeed move on.

Re: [Official] Rankin/Bass Holiday Mafia - Kawnfurm Hear
I honestly thought the matter was resolved/forgotten a while back in the thread; I've no idea why betiko insists on harping on it and bringing it up again. Your obsession with the issue is getting suspicious to me, but since it's still Day 1, I'd still prefer to abstain and thus say unvote for now.Metsfanmax wrote:It's not arbitrary; rishaed wasn't actually speculating on game mechanics, but you were.betiko wrote: 4) This means you agree this could be a game mechanic that I would know (although rishaed brought it up).

Re: [Official] Rankin/Bass Holiday Mafia - Kawnfurm Hear
From what I've seen, Betiko never lets these things go. It'll keep coming up as long as there's a way to tie it into a case.anamainiacks wrote: I honestly thought the matter was resolved/forgotten a while back in the thread; I've no idea why betiko insists on harping on it and bringing it up again.

Not really suspicious, just par for the course.
I just went through the Rankin/Bass filmography, I'm kinda surprised how many of their holiday specials I've never even heard of. I was expecting a more well known library.

I'm looking but I don't see where metsfanmax actually slipped? (aside from openly rooting for the mets)Metsfanmax wrote:It was already explained by others. You called out what was obviously a joke vote with something related to game mechanics, hinting that you know about the possibility of stealing gifts. Obviously stealing gifts is most likely a mafia/third party ability if it does exist.betiko wrote: care to explain how your slip is not bigger than mine mets?
That being said, I also admit that this mechanism is quite reasonable to conjecture about given what we have been told about the gifts, so it's possible you know nothing about it and were just speculating. So my vote is only half serious. But it was definitely something to keep in mind.
I'm also wondering if by not denying any slip, mets is actually conceding that he did slip (that sentence makes more sense in my head)

Re: [Official] Rankin/Bass Holiday Mafia - Kawnfurm Hear
No. Someone accused me of a slip in response to my vote on betiko, in what I assume was a joke vote. Didn't think it worth responding to.thechuck51 wrote:I'm looking but I don't see where metsfanmax actually slipped?

Re: [Official] Rankin/Bass Holiday Mafia - Kawnfurm Hear
I was just saying that if my question was seen as a slip according to met's logic, viewing my question as a slip was one too, or at the vey least at the same extent.edocsil wrote:Are you saying you have a tiny "slip"?betiko wrote: care to explain how your slip is not bigger than mine mets?
Anyway, concerning scrooge or whatever I have no idea of this show. Is there a grinch?

Here's the Filmography of the Rankin/Bass studio.
The ones you'd most likely recognize are Rudolph and Frosty. They also did an adaptation of A Chrismas Carol, so it's possible to see Scrooge here. They didn't adapt Dr. Seuss though, so no Grinch.

Re: [Official] Rankin/Bass Holiday Mafia - Kawnfurm Hear
Confirm or something, you know.
The Betiko/rishead/mets thing looks mildly interesting. Of course it is pretty insubstantial, but not bad for this early on Day 1. We'll have to keep it in mind and possibly go back to it if nothing else comes up in the next couple days.
Meanwhile, it seems that Little Witt and soundman are the only ones left on Mob's list of people who haven't contributed anything at all. May as well just go down that list now. Vote Little Witt. Please post and give me a reason why you should not be our Day 1 lynch.

Re: [Official] Rankin/Bass Holiday Mafia - Day 1 [16/16]
Vote Betiko! For admitting to a tiny slip!
Re: [Official] Rankin/Bass Holiday Mafia - Day 1 [16/16]
I didn't admit any kind of slip. I said that if mets considers it a slip, I was wondering how his reaction would not be a slip.soundman wrote:Vote Betiko! For admitting to a tiny slip!
Another guy who is not bringing any substance at all is superkeener. you can hardly make posts as dull as those:
too lazy to read 1 page.superkeener wrote:One sentence recap. Go.
to what? bring in substance instead of posting to say nothing at all! I'll go back to my previous vote. I hate when players think they can be safe by posting once in a while a line that says nothing.superkeener wrote:Hmmmmmmmmm. I guess the matter is solved. Can we move on?

ah, someone does not know that Mafia is a game where short meaningless posts get you lynched rather quickly. unvote vote superkeener in other words, why should we not lynch you, who is contributing nothing but confusion to the game with one-liners that is generally viewed as very scummy.superkeener wrote:Vote betiko thats all.

Either way, it's not reducing suspicion against you.

Thats enough to earn my vote. Posting lots of thoughts, instincts, suspicions is how people are made accountable throughout the entire game. Scum want to float in between cases as much as possible by not posting large posts or substantial contributing posts.superkeener wrote:Vote betiko thats all.

I don't consider myself to be overreacting. Just trying to give him some helpful hints for forum mafia. Since I play differently on forums than RL.

Re: [Official] Rankin/Bass Holiday Mafia - Day 1 [16/16]
Keener was poking fun at the walls ppl have been posting that say nothing at all, and more or less giving people the bird for calling him out for meaningless posting posting on D1, when other are not here, and that those who are posting aren't posting much more informative stuff.MoB Deadly wrote:Thats enough to earn my vote.
