Ernie, why did you give away your money to a rando?

There's one obvious reason.

Therefore vote Meinberg.

How do you think Ernie died and why is his spirit trying to communicate with us?

Mills

I haven't seen the movie; I just liked the player list.

Therefore Ernie is scum for acting in a way that avoids him having to discuss where his money should go, attention he doesn't want as scum.

Hey guys, there's a lot of talking going on in this thread, and I will admit that I'm having a bit of trouble following along. Could someone explain why Ernie is such a bad guy?

Mills

It's a meta argument for me so my words would probably interest you even less than usual.

Therefore, something unrelated.

If you're wrong then that will mean two town deaths assuming you(mills) are town.

That doesn't sound like a good plan. Sounds pretty funny though.

Ernie and I are best pals, clearly that much is true. We read each other very well. I asked him to give me his $100 so that I could do something objectively town minded with it today, caveated with the request to be judged on my action. Of all people, Ernie is better equipped than most to understand the logic and potential for positive EV. In addition, our close ties should have told him this was my town play as I am against taking risks in general in mafia as they are almost always negative EV plays, particularly so on D1. To avoid all of this and the discussion surrounding it, Ernie sent his funds to nebulous black hole Gulag citing "humour". Ernie is not entirely unhumourous but it's not his behaviour to avoid a discussion and make an irreversible decision not only prior to the discussion about it, but as an exercise to actively avoid the discussion.

Therefore, I like coffee.

On the other hand, you have been acting somewhat erratically in this game. The whole "therefore" shtick, the unjustified aggression against me. One might imagine that your peculiar behavior might be enough to warn someone off of trusting you.

I don't get your therefore gimmick. It's like that game where you say two places and then you're able to figure out what the next logical location is. People would always say that poo poo to me and say "come on it's simple" and then someone else would chime in with the answer and I could never figure it out and no one would tell me how it worked.

Saying such assumes that there is something to miss. I normally find that things are just as simple as they appear, and that my attempts to find greater complexity lead to outrage and ostracism. Now, assuming there is something more at play, we can assume a few possibilities.

The most likely possibilities is that Mills is under the effect of some posting restriction, either self- or mod-imposed.

That is an interesting theory on which I will not comment.

I have no desire to rush through the game, running around at the first impulse. No, I will take my time and cogitate on things. You might see this as "waffling" or "hedging" but only if you are an idiot.

We have four days. No need to rush.

I find your approach cumbersome but respect that it is your approach to own.

As a result of this, I am eating my toast.

I'm a tired, old man. Our intuition expands but slowly, compared to the rapid neural plasticity of the whipper snappers. This world of Mafia remains fresh and unlearned, so I take my time. It's not a matter of double-guessing, it's a matter of embracing one's process fully and absolutely, and following through. Giving ideas time to breathe is highly important, at least to me.
