• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

  • the evolutionary victors are the ones who find themselves with myriad genetically-similar individuals in the next generation.

    manipulating events is great fun, care to share notes :DDD ... unfortunately, human reaction data is unreliable, though.

    hm, shouldn't proper procedure in that situation be to carefully avoid and excuse oneself with excuses? seriously, etiquette is one of those things one really needs to work on, but, dammit, it's doesn't even stay consistent.

    yes.
    well, sure, and I'm the one who likes its insults ... loopy. loop. loopy insults are great, they make for great amusement months later. eitger way, stay off my lawn and you'll be fine >|||

    ... I also have written, on at least one occasion, "It is occasionally interesting to note that one is alive."

    eh I've done that, it didn't end great, got nothing accomplished. direct statement of observations doesn't help against ... most people; it's really only our sort who will respond to them as one might want.

    not the easiest of lessons, as it happens. show, not tell, though. it makes for much more verisimilitude.

    but in any case, it's no more messed up than, say, your country -- ... I don't even know which one, do I? eh, it applies no matter what, probably. you have this whole culture and etiquette and blargh what do I do now, and if you happen to be not up to speed, you seem like a terrible.

    ... so hey if I give a gift, how many times are you supposed to reject it before I surreptitiously leave it on the table and leave without picking it up? and if you bring it back, how to I get rid of it agai without being rude?
    the mafia here is a dynamic metagame without formal authority; thus, in the current environment, the solution to "the logic is messed up" is to break the logic by exploiting it. once you've done so, the metagame will needs correct for it.

    but metagaming is as much a part of the game as rational logic -- you can't just bring external experiences unless you can actually frame it in such a way that the metagame will accept it. (protip: "you're all insane" does not really bring people to your side.)
    Compared to which other places?

    I disagree but my first mafia game was here so
    yiran I just realized how well that question mark sums you up

    it should be your actual avatar

    (also that isn't logic at all >|)
    eh, I had one for forever or thereabouts, before my duskull avatar for shuppet month; and then for another eternity until bfa. ... and then I switched to madomagi avatars, oops.
    as for the presumable intended question: well, it's a useful device to extract information, and so long as it remains a useful device to extract information, it will be propagated as a useful device to extract information; and consequently, it will remain a useful device to extract information. at this point, its use as a useful device to extract information has roughly achieved circular dependency, and, as such, is a useful device to extract information. eh.
    "I still don't expect why people in this forum's mafia expect every voted player to claim, even when the voter has blatantly no evidence or even simple reasoning."

    I don't think expect means quite what you expected it to mean, but okay.
    yiran that unmakes a lot of sense but if you're saying what I think you are
