random.org tell me to vote for Friday.

Also I had a roleplay persona planned but it's been so long I just don't care anymore.

I'm gonna vote for the next person to use a random number generator to decide their vote

Good morning everyone I hear there are some NOSFERATUS and LYCANTHROPES in our fair town and I am here to help you all root them out.

So you're a NEWCOMER? Do you have any proof to offer that you were not the one to bring this horrible disease to town?

Don't piss off the Random Number God! He'll just make tomorrow's items the Fog Machine, Cloak of Invisibility, and Air Bud.

I have a multi-factor spreadsheet that scores participants on a number of metrics which will determine (at any given moment) whom I most need to vote for, either because they're particularly likely to be evil or because they're particularly injurious to the health of the game. At this moment, my spreadsheet is telling me to vote for Bleck.

You may vote for jsnlxndrlv to reveal his voting rubric. If at least half the currently living players have voted for me to do this, I will post a complete list of the behaviors and stats I am tracking, the methods I use to determine whom to vote for, and the timeline of changes this system undergoes, as those changes are implemented.

Friend · « **Reply #27 on:** June 19, 2012, 02:52:26 PM »

This is clearly some sort of trick. But I admit, I'm curious as to what jsnlxndrlv is up to.

Nickasummers · « **Reply #28 on:** June 19, 2012, 03:08:37 PM »

Interesting. I wish I had thought of that myself. How much time did you spend on setting it up, out of curiosity?

jsnlxndrlv · « **Reply #29 on:** June 19, 2012, 03:24:37 PM »

Actual setup took about 10 minutes, but I've been kicking the idea around and half-seriously using and subsequently dropping it over the last five or six games. I figured that, in a game with this many players, putting my vote at the mercy of the group dynamic is going to make it harder for vamps or wolves to take advantage and game the system—especially if there are never enough votes for them to discover what the system actually is.

Nickasummers · « **Reply #30 on:** June 19, 2012, 03:32:21 PM »

I am really curious what your metrics are, but I know you can't reveal them because anyone who knows how you are scoring people can manipulate their own score. It is, however, something I might have to look into for future wolf games myself. There is too much information for a person to look at all at once, I imagine such a thing would reveal things that otherwise go unnoticed.

gahitsu · « **Reply #31 on:** June 19, 2012, 03:34:15 PM »

I'm curious, if the idea is to not be manipulable by the group dynamic, why let the group dynamic decide whether you reveal it or not?

jsnlxndrlv · « **Reply #32 on:** June 19, 2012, 03:48:56 PM »

...basically, there are certain factors that I'm convinced strongly indicate someone's on a non-innocent team. Unless and until one of those giveaway factors appears, I vote for people who contribute the most to certain voting and behavioral patterns that I feel reinforce a negative game atmosphere. However, the corrective impact of this voting methodology is blunted when the affected individuals can't tell whether I'm voting for them because I think they're evil or because I think want them to stop reinforcing negative trends... but letting people know why I'm voting for someone at any given moment would reveal the "giveaway factors" I'm on the lookout for.

I couldn't decide whether to be predictable or not. Thus: the vote.

Sure. Whatever. Show us your Introduction to Microsoft Office project.

OOOOOHHHHHHHH SNNNNAAPPPPP

I retract my vote. I 've just realized I've misunderstood how this system works.

Envy · « **Reply #36 on:** June 19, 2012, 04:11:12 PM »

Listen up ladies, there's two things out there keeping us from being safe. That's Furry things and pointy things. And were gonna kill them all. YA-HA!

I sense bullshit myself, but I'll err on the side of judgement that states you're reasonably smart and capable of making this thing. As for my vote, let's go with Envy. It served me well last game!

Ardus · « **Reply #38 on:** June 19, 2012, 04:46:06 PM »

LEAVE ENVY ALOONNEE T_T AFTER ALL HE HAS BEEN THROUGH!

Just kidding. I was planning to vote for Envy but... JSN's spreadsheet is making me a little suspicious. Im keeping my vote back for a little bit longer. I must think on these updates.

gahitsu · « **Reply #39 on:** June 19, 2012, 05:14:17 PM »

I think it's a thought exercise. Like, if you vote to make him predictable than you're a fangy!!

But goddamn, I'm curious.
