Hi

Explain your vote history. Analyze 100yrs. Mention something that someone said that gave you pause.

I've been making a lasagna. I think. I think it'll be ok.

I haven't voted anyone yet because I haven't seen anything that sticks out or seems out of the ordinary. I find the votes on me are mostly dumb knee jerk reactions.

I don't know what want in the ways of analysis. I have been trying to be extremely direct and clear in regards to my actions and motivations.

What is the point of this post? Scummy.

Are you saying you don't want to find the Scum in this thread and vote them out? Tell me, which Trojans are getting mad at Trojans in this thread? To what are you even referring?

You're coming off as extremely "mannered" and artificial. Insincere.

Anyone else get that impression?

It seems consistent with one reactions from 100yrs so far, so it doesn't feel artificial to me

It could be; they are on my radar a bit based on their earlier posts and if a vote was put to me right this second I would probably vote 100yrs, but we are very light on content on so far and I'd really prefer more to analyze before I definitively call their play fake

Yeah ok that's seriously pretty bad.

I glad to see that unbreakable rule of mafia 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' is going strong. I wanted to try something this game if I rolled town, complete and utter transparency. I think I've done a good job of it and I'm not particularly surprised at the results.

I'm sorry Lumpen because I know you need leave the game in a few days (though the reason why is pretty great), and I'd like to help you make the most of the game but there's only so much one person can do.

If you are Town and don't want to get lynched, talk about someone other than yourself, post "transparent" thoughts about other people with the relentless purpose of determining their alignment. Post about nothing else. Say not one more word about your own play or your own strategy or your own emo voyage.

All you've said about other people's alignments in this game so far is "I haven't seen anything that sticks out or seems out of the ordinary" which is worse than useless. Question and prod people until you produce something that you can form an alignment opinion about and then "transparently" say what the opinion is and why you formed it.

Or just keep playing like Scum, and hopefully flip Scum at the end of D1.

Betrayer, can you tell us a Scum to vote today? If you tell us who to lynch and they flip Scum, truly we know that you can be relied upon.

I also don't seem particularly good in battle. I could potentially make your best fighter even more kick rear end, but trying to figure that all out would most likely be problematic and a bad idea. But if it happens, it could be great.

In the spirit of spelling out my actions so they're not misconstrued I am deliberately being vague to avoid giving out too much potentially dangerous information to scum.

I should add that if I do I should be in the frontline otherwise I'd be completely and utterly useless.

Pmom, put me in the frontline please. I have a deathwish, but my opponent will be permanently crippled. I will likely survive my first fight and be much more savage in my second. Let me fight and die so I don't need replaced. I have never replaced out of a Mafia game.

KILL CCKEANE

Is this a joke post?

Sodo has been self-conscious before and after the whole debate on the issue. I figure the latter posts are of a 'ironic' sort though they just come off clumsily. He continues to joke, because that's the only other way I can explain the joke OMGUS vote on birdstrike that has otherwise no merit whatsoever.

Section 31 posted:

Where's the infamous Trojan Horse?

As far jokes, introcutions, or confirmations this is the blandest of the bland. His later post on Achaens and Trojans or whatever is making him the candy cotton poster of the game.

Just compare that with tithin's confirmation that came up a bit later. I choose tithin also because it's pretty much all we've gotten out of the guy

tithin posted:

this thing started huh

Tithin reads more naturally because he makes a comment that could've come from anyone. I can relate to that comment and that thought and already tithin is sitting well enough for me as he could be for all the little he has said.

By contrast Section 31 gives us that non sequitur entrance followed by this gem:

Section 31 posted:

completely contrary to the nature of the game in itself. I don't want to go so far as to say it's suspicious behavior but it is incredibly weird.

Currently S31 looks the worst with his "why are we infighting" comment. It was clear by that time that we had left jokephase, do trying to push the thread back toward that is discouraging discussion and not beneficial to a town player at all.

I'm here now and catching up atm.

I might be limited to only defensive battles (I'm checking with a mod) but I'm pretty good in a fight some might even say I'm a prince among men.

Initial impressions, I'm fine with people voting section, but I'm more interested in ##vote birdstrike - they've been posting in the thread but there's an utter lack of any mafia playing on their part. Looking busy while doing nothing useful, seems scummy to me.

Mithross: "raged debuff" "decent at combat"
King Burgandy: "Useful outside of combat" "ranged" if we have to send him in
CCKeane: "can give item to turn scum into survivor"
"Guissuipadsiuop puidfdsaf: your name sucks "good at beating people up"
Merk: "melee dude"
the Nabster: "brutal debuffs" asked to be backline
Capitalist Pig: "useful at combat, but not frontline fighter"
