No, I don't think that's the case (although as an A-Level Maths student where stats form a chunk of the subject, that article was quite interesting :3). Belarus. isn't saying "I've been townie in loads of games, so I'm most likely to still be town", but more "In the games I've been town, I've been active and not-lynched." However, I don't get what that has to do with the 'I don't want to seem suspicious' thing that got brought up.

Zenax was trying to make a point that if we all were quite reserved, and didn't go out of our way to do things in fear it would make us suspicious, we'd never get anything done. So, I guess in a way, only adopt a strategy if you would be happy for everyone else in the game to use it too. That seems reasonable, right? ;o

Like I said, I didn't understand what Zenax meant. It's as if he said being active = you're lynched. Considering my history, I don't understand how that applies...

Oh, fair enough. Going back it seems I misread her post.

Now that's some serious word-twisting.

I don't know, that's what I saw it as. D:

Then every townies should sit on the sideline and wait just to be sure that they won't be mislynched? :/

If they're sitting on the sidelines, they're not posting. So that means they wouldn't be lynched--meaning the reverse would be true, that if you're active, you have a larger chance of being lynched.

That post was just a reworded and aggravated version of what you posted before (I don't want to be mislynched so I'll do my best to avoid being suspected instead of scumhunting.)

Not necessarily. Alluding back to "it's a bandwagon, I'm not voting because I don't want to look suspicious", I would consider that sitting on the sidelines. Inactivity is inactivity.

You did read my post, right? I wasn't even being defensive, are you accusing me of something? I like to know why voting me. And why are you trying to put attention on me? It's like you don't want people to focus on Nick, but to focus on me. Feel like you're trying to help him.

Sorry, Sorry, I think you could have just said that you wanted to know why you were being voted. You didn't have to get so defensive about it.

You ignored my Question. Why are you trying to put attention on me?

I just thought you were over reacting a little. It is day one.

We have lynched Mafia on day one, and me trying to scum hunt is overreacting? I guess it can be. But I didn't even vote, and Nick didn't even have a vote. Why where you helping him?

Well, being active doesn't necessary mean getting lynched. Sure, it has a larger chance of happening. But at the same time, being unactive is also suspiccious.

(Please bear with me. I'm not very good in coming up with good arguments yet).

My point is that you just seemed the most defensive of all the people that got voted, so I just wanted a to know your reason, mind you some times I don't have the intention span to read back. So I'm sorry that I missed your reason earlier.

Vote:Phoenicks

The reason why I'm voting is because voting for the host would give a null tell, and he voted for me when I realized that. You couldn't blame him for not voting. I hope you get what I'm saying it hard to word this right.

Also, @Greece;, you have ignored another Question That I asked, funny how you keep on doing that. Why were you helping Nick?

Unvote: Joltik
Vote: Joltik

"Helping" a random vote is a contradiction in terms. (I did have a vote.) No need to be aggressive or accusatory when someone asks you a question. Getting worked up on Day 1 is Scumtelling or Dumbtelling. I'm going to hazard at the former.
