I don't want to vote Foo. It's weird to me that anyone has any interest in voting Foo.

WWM did seem antsy but I think that's a normal reaction to a lot of pressure with no reasoning behind it.

Highlander rules work either way, right?

Real bad post/vote. He's ignoring valid content because Hal is backing it, in favor of a bandwagon vote with a lot of momentum. The question at the end of his post seems too self-conscious.

Also, Mithross says that GG made a solid case. That case was presumably Ghostly pointing out that WM was forcing an unnecessary and scummy highlander vote. Then Mithross goes along with that highlander vote.

somberbrero u got some explaining to do here

not sure I understand. Ghostly makes the point that forcing a thunderdome or highlander or whatever is scummy, which is what Wall Monitor does. I agree, I vote Wall Monitor. Mithross agrees that Ghostly made a good point, then votes Which Way Madness. Mithross seems to be under the impression that Ghostly was backing the highlander vote rather than calling it scummy. I guess this could imply that Mithross just misunderstood, or else I misunderstood the point Ghostly was making, but I think it's indicative of Mithross faking content.

The Mithross bandwagon seems scummy as heck. How did Wall Monitor go from being tied for lynch leader with WWM, to not having any heat at all? That's suspicious. I feel like a No Lynch D1 could hurt the town, but both options seem terrible.

We miss-lunch a town today, scum gets a town in the night. Down two town start of D2.

I'd rather no lynch than be put in that spot because neither candidates seem scummy. The deadline seems quick due to time zones, and D1 was over a weekend so not a lot of content was generated. If we are lynching someone, I'd much rather it be Gulag. I don't feel comfortable with Mithross or WWM.

I don't care for this post because it's bad. What about the Mithross votes constitute a bandwagon?

-2 Town at the start of day two is standard. When balancing games, most moderators should assume that the town will mislunch day one, because it's just far more likely. No-lunching today is terrible. We'll start day two with one piece of information as opposed to two. We'll reiterate the same arguments and expand a little on them rather than approaching the next day with new information. This isn't your first game, so this is a weird sentiment.

Arguing about whether or not it is better to no-lunch does not help us here. I will save us both the time and let you know that it is almost never a good idea. This is as close to immutable truth as you get in Mafia.

That absolutely did not read like a joke vote to me. I misunderstood then. I thought Ghostly was calling out WM for promoting a vote that could only end in one of two players being lunched, which is a scummy way to direct votes and is rarely helpful to town.

I bought the phone port, it is unforgiving and painfully hard, but very worthwhile. Have you played Pillars yet? I can't stop gushing about it.

I own it but I can't play it until I'm through with Bloodborne. I just have to double back to Castle Cainhurst at this point!

As someone who played a lot of D&D 2nd Edition, anything based on D&D 2nd Edition can't be objectively good. I think the story succeeds in spite of itself.

Also, just a brief point: it is possible but unlikely that Somber could be a scum godfather? We've had non-vanilla town and although I don't know enough about Hotline Miami's characters to really guess what the flavor would be, it's not mechanically impossible. I consider Somber town enough based on his content so far, but I just wanted to throw this out before we all get too far into talking confirmed town.

sure, but why is that worth considering now?

I'm still fine lunching Ghost. I feel like we have a solid pool of lunch candidates, let us just move forward.

The way you go after mithross, the way you take that highlander vote, your apparent squirming when questioned by Foo, your immediate reaction to my current case. It's real defensive, and again, you did spend a lot of time defending the only person who flipped scum.
