Quids done lots of whitenoise posting to make him look like he was involved while not actually adding anything, up until he was accused. I agree with the suspicion, but I would think scum would share with the vote-post-only lurkers over posting a lot and getting hosed over.

I think that's a sweeping generalization. There are a lot of different ways to play scum.

Do you have no opinion regarding Quid's blowup?

Does the idea that 'Gamer should have been coached better than this' work counter to your vote? Why wouldn't he have been coached better? It's not a rhetorical question.

Why are people trying to pretend that Krell had votes because he was scum?

He was a day 1 turbo vote, no one that voted for him, that I recall (am on my phone e hard to check) stated they were doing so be a use he was scum...

I think CPig himself has to admit that I'm the only player on the community who has a scary track record of knowing when he's scum.

I literally ignored Quid (and most of the thread) because I was just waiting for the Krell turbo to go through. I saw there were only a few hours left, I got onto the new top-vote-getter after a brief skim of the last few pages. If I've got time this afternoon, I'll read him.

Allen, you say that Gamer should have been coached better by his scums. He was, apparently, not coached well. Doesn't that imply that he wasn't coached well because he's town and doesn't have any buddies to tell him how to play?

His posting is all fluff. I know a lot of people say 'Well, that's just CPig', but it isn't. CPig's light-posting is usually full of direction and focus. His scum-posting is full of jovial light-hearted playfulness that does anything but highlight what he thinks. He also likes to take more absolute, indefensible stances when he's scum like 'lol exactly what a scum would say lololo ##vote' that he doesn't have to particularly backup very hard because they're almost a joke.

When CPig's town he knows that his meta works against him the other way i.e. he could be puppy cuddled for just being himself, and his posting is a lot more guarded.

That's not independence that you're feeling. It's hesitation, it's uncertainty, it's hope. You sense a tremor in the energy of the thread. Everyone's palms are a little sweaty, the sides of their temples thumping with their heartbeat; everyone sorta but not really feels that this, right here, right now, might be the one time where we have the evil CPig right where we want him.

This time if you follow me and I'm wrong, I promise to try and stay alive for as long as possible so you can call me silly whacky names and I'll pretend like I feel insulted.

Kumba, I have to be honest with you. I made it this far into your post before I broke down crying wondering the same thing. It's only after I stuffed my face full of After Eight ice cream that I realized I can aspire to be better and greater than I ever was, and the first step of that is sending CPig out of this gig. Help me?

CirclMastr, I want you to take the player list from the OP, copy and paste it here https://www.random.org/lists/, and whichever name comes out on top I'd like you to just tell me what you think of the way they replied to two people, whether they were being overly friendly to curry favor with someone, or throwing unnecessary doubt that you don't think was that serious etc.

If there's anyone I would trust to read CPig though it's definitely Ernie. He's always been an enigma of sorts to me.

Knowing now how inexperienced gamer is is making me rethink things. I don't want to vote Krell. I'm going to look at Quid again cause my eyes always gloss over his posts. I would vote CPig.

Yes, and so you see, since Mafia is a serious game where we discuss things like 'What are you going to do about those assholes who ran out of Swordfish' and 'I guess Guardians of the Galaxy was a good film', we really shouldn't tolerate jokes. I'll support you if you lead a puppy cuddle against CPig, Kumba. Me and my army of Amnistar and Ernie.

I do, but I also think that even if you are evil that we can both agree that CPig is hated by all people. Even his own scum team will at some point decide 'Is he actually going to do anything?' and try to bus him for credibility. I'm either giving you that opportunity now, or bringing us closer together as fellow townsfolk at a friendly afternoon Burn The Cpig event.
