Why I don't like Showtime! A statement by CDRdude First off, I am not unique in my dislike of this man. I don't know Showtime! in real life, so I judge him by what I see of him; Showtime!'s posts on Teamliquid. I am not impressed. From my observation, nearly everyone in this thread detests his ignorant, spiteful, and melodramatic posts. His comments are not intelligent, but designed to provoke antagonism, and petty bickering. In the words of the man himself, "I'm treating this like a IRC channel until you guys make one". That's lovely, why don't you make one yourself? Let's start off with a look at his posting record, separated into categories for your convenience. This is not all of his posts, but many of them. Ignorant posts: There are less of these than the others, Showtime! is more troll than newbie trying to understand the rules. + Show Spoiler + On March 20 2008 13:29 Showtime! wrote: He hasn't voted therefore he is inactive therefore he isn't even in the game anymore considering voting has officially closed. Pick someone else. To put this in context, this is in relation to Ace's instant-lynch of {88}iNcontroL. This is ignorant, because he clearly has either ignored, or not understood the process of selection. On March 20 2008 13:42 Showtime! wrote: The guy didn't even look to see who was active. Dumbest move ever. This is either one of the most ignorant comments Showtime! has made, or it is a troll. Neither is desired. On March 20 2008 13:45 Showtime! wrote: Not only that he didn't even look to see who !@#$%! voted beforehand. He killed someone who wasn't even still in the game = uncool especially with all the damage he could have done. Likewise, this is either supreme ignorance, or a troll. On March 20 2008 14:18 Showtime! wrote: I don't care because I'm a townie like I said before and congratz. The sooner, the better because it would be another waste of a lynch and too be honest I don't think you have much of a prayer. Of course the saboteur would use it on the first night so you wouldn't be able to get one of them. It is basic logic you goof. The fact of the matter is you voted Inc with no ground or basis other than hanging low. If you read the rules you would have known he was already out of the game. Hence a waste, hence you could have used someone else's hunch. And if you had read the rules, you would know that you are only removed from the game after missing two votes in a row. However, I believe this post was made in ignorance, rather than trolling, in spite of it's hostile tone. On March 25 2008 04:25 Showtime! wrote: Perhaps. They might roleblock randombum and attempt to vote you out, no? lol which would be stupid because then we'll know who the mafia is ha! It is almost guaranteed. They will roleblock you again Ace. So 1) we cannot double lynch, 2) kill your voting power. This was made after Ace was roleblocked the previous day, the rules state that you cannot roleblock someone twice in a row. Trolling / antagonistic posts: If you've read very much of the thread, you know what I'm talking about. The norm for Showtime! is belittling others, while lionizing himself (and once in a while, he plays the victim). Other times, his posts are just rude and sarcastic. + Show Spoiler + On March 20 2008 11:10 Showtime! wrote: Emp, you didn't think I knew that already? Of course. You just wanted the POWA. But, yeah I must admit it was stupid of you to come out and confess. Probably not designed to be a troll, but his post here is unnecessarily antagonistic, not to mention arrogant. On March 20 2008 13:40 Showtime! wrote: Next time how about you ask before you start wasting your powers? God -_-;; What a waste. In response to Ace's instant-lynch of {88}iNcontroL. On March 20 2008 13:47 Showtime! wrote: I read all your lousy posts. Like I said I know of 5 people who would have been better. PM me. This is directly after his whining about Ace's selection of instant-lynch (whining because he lynched an inactive). This excellently showcases Showtime!'s arrogance, ignorance, and desire for attention. On March 20 2008 14:00 Showtime! wrote: Yeah because active people are more likely to be mafia let alone pissed off when their mayor votes out someone who wasn't even playing the damn game. Wake up people! On top of that why would I want the mafia to know whether or not I am on the right track in the first place? That is really smart. While his comment is reasonable, his sarcastic tone is...less so. On March 20 2008 14:10 Showtime! wrote: ShaLLoW are you mad because I took over your role from the last game? I think someone needs a lollipop. Too bad I don't have any special powers. Oh, wait: to annoy! That last line is quite true On March 20 2008 14:21 Showtime! wrote: The only players playing are those who voted or abstrained from voting. Read the damn rules, God. As I mentioned previously, this is incorrect. Unlike before, this is needlessly aggressive. On March 20 2008 14:30 Showtime! wrote: ShaLLoW needs a kleenex box guys. On March 22 2008 01:14 Showtime! wrote: We're onto him. Yes I just wanted to point it out again. Albino's are bad! :X I'm not sure if this is a joke or not, but it isn't the only time he's made borderline racist comments. On March 24 2008 09:25 Showtime! wrote: What gives you any authority to say that oh wise one? There are many references that could link Ghar to Eddie. There is no denying it. Pointless, unhelpful and sarcastic. On March 24 2008 13:13 Showtime! wrote: What did you expect? Regular townies still have a lot of input and of course it will be a little boring for regular townies. We have to vote on the process of elimination and sure bets. Smarten up. On March 25 2008 05:34 Showtime! wrote: I lol'ed. Apparently the mafia has no other choice but to attack in twos. Super gay. With all this double-teaming going around they should call this game The Gay Mafia Mr. Pink: 'Hey there precious! How'd you like to get shanked by Mr. Willie?' Proceed to Shallow getting boned, etc. Necrophilia loving. While there is a possibility that his homophobic remarks are in jest, this does not leave me with a good impression. On March 25 2008 11:47 Showtime! wrote: Perhaps they're a bunch of gay robots. Heh, heh. Good times. Heh, heh. Cannot touch this!! Amber what the hell have you been smoking?!?! I need some of that. The gay remarks keep coming. The last time I recall using gay as an insult was middle school, and even then I outgrew it quickly (although that may have had something to do with my proximity to San Francisco).

Closer, c-l-o-s-e-r my child Listen.. Just listen. Listen closely. The Mafia, the Mafia is the g-e-y!! *** It took me about five days of mediation and drinking to come to this conclusion. Use it well. Yeah that was a pretty dumb move Emp. I have no idea what they are thinking. The above post edited to remove unnecessary whitespace.

Because Plexa if it isn't him then it is only two other people. We've narrowed it down and if he wants to be a little bitch, well to be frank he deserves to get his teeth kicked into the curb like the rebel he is! Communists for the win! Fascists for the win! On March 25 2008 22:15 Showtime! wrote: No, it doesn't take away from the game because as a regular townie you can still post, PM clues and shit like be part of the strategy, you stubborn dingbat. Wow, some people. I guess we won't set a new record then for 100+ players in record time then. I say we kill all 4 leads because we're better off with out those dumbfucks and their E-Drama. We need those who will work with us, not against us. I don't know who said 'dumbfucks' are, but I think I know the source of most of the drama. On March 25 2008 23:53 Showtime! wrote: NO PILPINO sounds better :D!! You are such a Phillips head. I was going to call you a towel, but Phillips head sounds better. Stop grinding my gears you terrorist! In response to wurm correcting him on the spelling of Filipino. On March 26 2008 02:20 Showtime! wrote: No, he's just trying to start shit. Got to love the E-Drama a good old game of Gey Mafia brings. This one might be an inane comment, but given his apparent homophobia, I'll categorize this as a troll. On March 26 2008 08:52 Showtime! wrote: no shit, use your head fuck, I thought I had cottonmouth. God damnit, back to the drawing board. T_T I think he's talking to JeeJee here, but no matter who it is, it's offensive and pointless. On March 26 2008 16:24 Showtime! wrote: You are blinder and dumber than I thought. bye bye kiwi. On March 26 2008 20:24 Showtime! wrote: First of all, I don't have to post shit in response to your retardness because why would I plant anything in the mafia's head? Do you think I'm stupid? Get your head out of your ass. You really couldn't buy a clue. :. you must be mafia. You have no idea of who my suspects are dumbass. Do you honestly think I would post my elaborate plan for the public? I don't think so. I'm glad you're going to be gone soon. Naaaa, naaaa, na, naaaa, naaaa, naaaa, heeeeey, heeeeey, heeeeey goooood-bye! On March 27 2008 21:12 Showtime! wrote: Learn to fucking read. Now go back a few pages, read what I said and then stfu. It's people like you who make the world go round you stupid towelhead. And to aavar leave the clue detecting to the smart people because it sounds like you're on a wild goose chase that is leading to nowhere. Who knows? Perhaps you are mafia because almost all of your targets have been ludicrous, but it helps because I know of more than a few people who are trying to swing votes around to the town. Keep it up, easier to catch you. On March 28 2008 14:05 Showtime! wrote: i just had to point this out again. my God, how do you sleep at night? On March 28 2008 23:32 Showtime! wrote: Maybe you should take your own advice for once and stop trolling. Seriously though, I would settle this person to person because some people just deserve a beating. Stupid Armenians. I already had to deal with one before and stop pretending to be the village idiot because we all know you were there hackz. I'm finished with you and your gey antics. Go find some kleenex because nobody likes you. cry baby and learn english - it is demeaning Racism, homophobia, rudeness and threats of bodily harm. Showtime!'s got it all, doesn't he? On March 28 2008 23:56 Showtime! wrote: rofl go get a life i find it funny that someone would lie about something so trivial. it is stupid townies that are slowing us down. we already wasted two rolechecks on people -- i always figured the guy was clean and i never put him on my list especially considering chuiu didn't want to do anything about it in the first place = dead giveaway. the guy really must have no life what a sad little, little man i'm starting to feel sorry for the guy - his buttons are way too easy to push On March 29 2008 00:57 Showtime! wrote: no so far kau they're all townies and you guys keep forgetting something - i could just get pardoned by randombum all you guys are doing is wasting more time and proving me right again keep going after townies while the mafia looks on which is really smart - some of you really need to learn to lighten up a bit it's kind of sad at this rate all the mafia have to do is sit back and bust out the popcorn. They could probably get away doing this for maybe 5 games and they'll keep winning this way IQ of the town hmmm! this is why i don't post anything public The only place I've seen more arrogance than this is 4chan. On March 29 2008 02:02 Showtime! wrote: Ace confirmed it. A number of other people will be able to as well once the game is over. I'm not going to discuss this again. Wait until the game ends and we'll give you guys our logs. araav take my bet then unless you are scared you numbskull Melodramatic posts: (I tend to use melodramatic interchangeably with attention-whore) Showtime! want's attention. Most of his posts in this section can be summed up as: 'I know something that you don't, but I'm not going to tell you.' In other words, Showtime! often claims to know mafioso, but never publicly reveals his suspects; only that he has them. Always, this begs the question of who they are. More rarely, he exaggerates the ill effects of a situation, attempting to play the sympathy card. + Show Spoiler + On March 19 2008 10:17 Showtime! wrote: That is obvious ban material. Get rid of him before he does damage to the game, or else we have to restart the game. I consider this melodrama or at least overly dramatic, because of his appeal to fear and emotion (and he is ignoring logic) when he says we have to restart the game. On March 20 2008 09:26 Showtime! wrote: We're the mob. What do you expect? Here, he just wants attention. On March 20 2008 13:41 Showtime! wrote: Considering Incontrol wasn't even active I think it would only be fair to give another townie the role of Mad Hatter. I could have given you five better picks than him. Really, this post falls into several categories. It's arrogant, and probably offensive to Chuiu. But most of all, it is an attention-whoreish post, much like Joseph McCarthy's famous list of communists. He mentions five better picks, but does not elaborate. He can argue that he is doing it to escape mafia attention, but the act of posting demands attention. Showtime! knows this well. On March 20 2008 13:49 Showtime! wrote: I'm not announcing it public. The fact of the matter is you could have killed 3 for the price of one if incontrol was even playing. We need another mad hatter. This begs the question, why? On March 20 2008 13:50 Showtime! wrote: Yeah, like I want the mafia to know who I suspect. They're posting privately so I will as well. This also falls under attention-whore because nobody had responded to him since his previous statement (directly above). If not for the attention, why would he post again, with no clarification asked for? On March 20 2008 14:05 Showtime! wrote: hahaha read between the lines and you tell me who you think I'm accusing. How about em' apples? har har har I'm sure he was very pleased with himself after he posted this one. On March 24 2008 05:20 Showtime! wrote: Ace, I already gave you my list. You know my answer. Again, this begs the question of 'what list?'. If he had PMed a list to Ace, posting in the thread is entirely unnecessary. On March 24 2008 16:01 Showtime! wrote: Yeah, they already made a few mistakes. We have another three more lined up ready to kill. And yet he declines to share any information. This is part inane commentary, and part attention-whore. On March 26 2008 02:53 Showtime! wrote: Um, we have a lot more than just 2 verified. lol Arrogant, and begs the question. On March 26 2008 03:14 Showtime! wrote: Maybe no one has any trust in you fanatacist to be divulging any info to you. Like I said before, I know the mafia is going to try and hit me tonight. I've done more than my fair share to help the Town win tyvm. The clues Chuiu gave us have been extremely helpful and I have given more than a few people my list of 9-14 names. If clue detecting isn't your thing leave it to someone else. Either way those people are going to get exposed soon. Ace even said, "Tomorrow shit will really hit the fan." I couldn't agree anymore. From what I can see, Showtime! really loves being above, or better than other people. On March 26 2008 20:44 Showtime! wrote: Our illogical Kiwi friend --> it goes back quite a few pages. Now then, if any more 'rebels' want to fire more blanks in the dark --> get a clue beforehand because it's very unlikely you know our agenda. In other words (for those who are slow around here), if all you do is read this thread then you probably have no idea what's really going on behind the scenes. I'll bet you really love being "behind the scenes." On March 27 2008 13:14 Showtime! wrote: Yeah, looks like we'll have to go with Plan C. Got to thank the Mafia for one thing and one thing only. They made our double lynch a lot easier today. I think we're going to have to get a IRC channel to discuss our next course of action. When Showtime! writes 'we', I read 'Other people will make an IRC channel for me, and until then, I'll spam the thread some more. On March 27 2008 13:25 Showtime! wrote: I think I know who Black is, but I've been wrong before. On March 28 2008 05:23 Showtime! wrote: Ace I think it's time we schedule that meeting. I don't want Lucas' death to go in vain. There is no reason why this can't go in a PM, unless it is to draw attention to himself. On March 28 2008 06:18 Showtime! wrote: Once you get home check the channel. We need all the foot soldiers in there. Inane commentary / Spam: This is the majority of Showtime!'s posts. I haven't included all of them here, but the sheer volume should give you the idea. Showtime! has 'contributed' pages of useless spam to this thread, more than any other player. I think his need for attention compels him to post fluff, in order for recognition. However, this category is still distinct from the melodramatic. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate random humor as much as the next fellow, but enough is enough.[/i] + Show Spoiler + On March 18 2008 13:13 Showtime! wrote: What I want to know is what the hell does he get out of doing all this for us? ._.

Also to note, is that very many of his posts are edited. From what I recall, his material was typically more offensive before it was edited, perhaps an admin can confirm or deny this. Showtime! spends most of his time seeking attention from others, via insinuations, useless commentary, and outright flaming. Why do we suffer his presence? Supposedly, he has an important role, that has been confirmed by Ace. This is what he wants us to believe. His more recent posts have been insinuations of importance, raw arrogance, and insinuations of narcissism, elevating himself above the status of others. Yesterday, Showtime! has repeatedly made reference to a conference with Ace, publicly posted, leaving us to conclude that he is somehow better than us. Strangely, Ace never publicly places such importance on Showtime!'s opinion. However, what finally brought this rant to the surface is his incessant begging for a ban of aarav. Showtime! claims that arrav hacked into a private chat. There are two problems with this. One, hacking a private chatroom is not related to TeamLiquid in any way, so I don't think it warrants a ban. I do not know TL moderator policy in this matter, but I have my doubts as to whether it is a banworthy offense. Second, you cannot hack something that you don't know about. Someone had to leak details of a private chat, but you repeatedly ignore this fact, instead trumpeting your protestations of victimization, and that we should restart the game. Showtime!'s posts: + Show Spoiler + On March 28 2008 11:44 Showtime! wrote: I have a big fucking complaint which might get this game closed. Our 'programmer' from Armenia decided to take it upon himself to infiltrate a chatroom where many of our key players were located. :. he knows many of our key players and this is just down right wrong. We might have to re-start the bloody game now. This is obviously against the rules. I'm down right pissed. Ban araav please you unethical bastard. Showtime! is seriously overreacting. Again. One of his attention-whore techniques is making a mountain out of a molehill, and in my opinion this qualifies. Restarting the game because of someone showing up in a chatroom is way out of proportion, and everyone here knows it. Second, where does it state anything wrong with this in the rules? I wish Showtime! good luck finding it, because it sure as hell isn't there. Finally, you have no right to request a ban. The moderators have better things to do with their time than follow your every whim. On March 28 2008 11:56 Showtime! wrote: No, it is an unfair advantage to use something like that and it is fucking unethical. It is one thing to pose as a blue it is a totally different thing to enter a chatroom where the mod is afk as well as others. It was a boneheaded move and play. The fucking guy is 30-years-old and should know better. How mature. I know... lol, look ghar we know you are mafia, we know he is and fuck to hell with it I think it is safe to assume I now have 10 of you. I'm not sure what's unfair about it. Someone had to have told him about the chatroom, because you can't hack something if you don't know if it exists. I know that Showtime! will ignore this fact because it is contrary to his premade opinions, but it is a fact nonetheless. And when Showtime! mentions unethical, I can't help but think that his racism and homophobia are also unethical. On March 28 2008 12:00 Showtime! wrote: the guy deserves to be banned period no discussion you can say whatever you want in a public forum. anything goes i personally don't care but when you take it upon yourself to hack a private chatroom that is unacceptable. Again, he's just trying to make a spectacle. He brings nothing new to the discussion, but instead makes sure he can't be ignored. On March 28 2008 12:12 Showtime! wrote: wurm sorry but i just spoke with ace and he never gave you the channel nor did he give every medic the channel either so the guy broke in. in fact none of the medics know of it, so i don't buy that for one second. Here, he does bring new information, but he offers no way of proving it. Basically,he just makes sure that we can't forget him, and that he's important. On March 28 2008 12:23 Showtime! wrote: there is no leak. the medics simply don't know the chan. only 100% verified people and key players or strategic minds. his response will probably go something like this: "i have no life." Here, he's just being childish. His first sentence is a slightly more advanced form of 'nuh-uh', and his later ones just insist that he's right. On March 28 2008 12:43 Showtime! wrote: considering none of us gave it to him and the guy took it upon himself to break in he has officially ruined the game. Oh well, we'll suck it up and find a way to win I guess, but that is total balls. Hopefully an Admin will ban him period, but I would like an explanation beforehand as well. It's official now? I thought it was only official when Chuiu or Dapperdan said so, and Chuiu had just said explicitly that he didn't care. Also, he's trying to elevate his own importance by implying that the admins follow his every whim, and that he deserves an explanation if he asks for one. Showtime!, I am sick of your attention-whore ways. You may be important to the town, but you are vastly overblowing your own importance, and flying it in the face of others. TeamLiquid is better than this, and we do not deserve to suffer you here. I recognize that I have no say in moderator policy, but if Showtime! is banned, I will be the first to cheer. + Show Spoiler [My opinion of Showtime!] + Thank you, that is all for now. | ||

Are you kidding me? Mandalor clearly refers to the Mandalorians, an extinct race in Star Wars. In the movies, Boba Fett was well known for his distinctive Mandalorian battle armor. Sorry for the non sequitur, but this is important to me | ||

I'll probably just lay back and let you guys do as you please, I already know how to win the game but due to constant bitching I think I'll be silent and do things on my own. Have fun. Don't take the FakeSteve route. We've complained, but we've done what you asked. Since you have information that we don't, staying silent is just selfish and petty. | ||

The best way to go about this is to let Ace and the DTs figure it out, although my faith in them was a little bit shaken after the last night's lynching. And wtf, one DT didn't use his powers? What a nublet. Remember guys, we already can analyze Chuiu's clue styles. Chuiu posted a full clue list at the end of the previous game, and the vast majority were written by him rather than Dapperdan.

Anyway, I'd just like to say that I have some reservations about randombum. Obviously, the clues about the bum can relate to either him or bumatlarge, but randombum has been really silent all game. Also, we've had a large proportion of blue deaths - how can that be explained except the clues reporting into randombum who is a mafia? I'm going to be really pissed if I didn't get Pardoner because people joined the HEY GUYS LET'S VOTE FOR RANDOMBUM BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT EMPYREAN THERE! bandwagon. The same thing could be said about Ace, although there aren't many clues that relate to him. But still, after he gained our trust the first night, he decided to lead us to lynch some townies. It's entirely possible that he only got us to kill one blue so as not to arouse too much suspicion on us. Just possibilities, though. Very good chance that neither of them are mafia (although if you'd have to ask, I'd suspect Ace more than randombum). Randombum has also repeatedly asked for a rolecheck. In my eyes, he isn't likely to bluff that frequently. | ||

So, unless we get more information from Ace, I think aarav should be our first target. | ||

You guys really don't need to take orders from me at this point, I think a lot of info is in the open that will help catch many mafia. So you aren't going to tell the town what the detectives discovered? How considerate. | ||
