So you're insinuating I'm being exclusive and negative by saying "lynch"?

That's extreme.

I guess if that's how you choose to interpret it. You can probably use a word filter to change my vocabulary to something nicer though.

I've played a fair amount of Mafia irl and I'm a little uncomfortable saying "lynch" over and over again in a public setting.

I don't begrudge anyone for being uncomfortable with the term but I also think they're being a little sensitive if they get upset by other people using it in the context of the game. I won't go out of my way to make a thing of it, "THIS GUY is going to be strange fruit in the trees by tomorrow" or anything like that because that would be godawful rude. Intent has everything to do with what I'll find offensive.

I personally could care less about the word and it doesn't offend me at all. I just get that other people are bothered by it and it takes 0 effort on my part to change.

I have this thing where ketchup freaks me the gently caress out and I don't like being near it. My friends, bless their hearts, are aware of this and go through the minimal trouble to not wave it in my face / put it on my food. It's totally an irrational thing on my part, but since people do something like that for me I try to show the same common courtesy when other people point out dumb little things that make them uncomfortable.

No, I'm not. My behavior has nothing to do with you.

I've been making a good faith effort to ignore it whenever I see you post something that I think is inappropriate or rude, because you don't care and Mafia is a party game on the internet. I'd appreciate it if you did the same. I apologize if you are offended by my usage of words other than 'lynch' but I'm going to continue to do so.

Can anyone help summarize the case on me? Three of the votes are from people who are admittedly not reading the thread. One of them is from someone who is very generously using all of their computer time at their mental ward to play this game. Amoeba's vote is okay even if it's wrong.


I get why my interaction with Ernie could be perceived as sketchy. I'd like to see what Amoeba thinks now though.

I don't think I saw you provide any counter interpretation, so unless I'm mistaken then that point remains unchanged. So try and rationalise your early actions as something other than opportunistic name-clearing.

I did get a little ping going off how Lumpen and Nummerik followed my vote again. Lumpen seems fine, it's more numerrik that is low content/no content bandwagonning.

Calling it now, Lumpen Somberbrero and Narc all scum.

Somb soft bussing Narc but completely dropping all interest anywhere near deadline, Lumpen throwing the early Somb vote only to get off of it and only giving Narc a second thought when pushed and realising just how incredible I am, Narc giving meta reasons for ignoring Somber and having an awkward "look we're talking in thread not in the scumdoc" interaction.

Hal is the godfather.

Kill Somber so we can get this 4 day town sweep game wrapped up.

Something is faulty here, there's a lack of logic based on game sizes - specifically tacking Hal on as a godfather on the end. I'd expect 3 scum 1 3P of this size game. Ram, you wanna re-think your game winning post?

Well, I thought the other interpretation was obvious. I've been lunched a lot day one and I thought it'd be nice not to have to worry about that.

If I were scum and taking Ernie seriously, why would that action make any sense? It'd just get me outed day one.

I guess that with 15 people there are likely 4 bad guys.

I had my triple scumteam but I said before I thought Hal might be a badguy so I tacked it on.

Like you said somewhere else in the thread, to paraphrase "Why care about that? there are plenty of other games starting around here". (Honest! I'll get around to mine!)
If you were scum and you knew you had a way to clear yourself D1, wouldn't it make sense to take it. It would only be nonsensical if you didn't believe Ernie. Hold up.
Yeah, thinking harder, there are definite holes or required assumptions for this to be plausible. The main point was the opportunism and intent for survival. It could swing that you just really really want to be a dragon.

Required assumptions for you to be scum: You believed Ernie, You would actually be cleared by a Lie detector thus you don't have a night kill.

Reading through, I do believe you believed Ernie. But the second part requires an odd scum set up. For reference, this would have worked for some players in a recent game where kills were restricted to certain scum players but moved as they died off. It was some sort of item game run by some mod or other.
But it's a lot of set-up speculation required for a game that doesn't show any signs of being out of the ordinary thus far.

I have an assumption which, you can try to breadcrumb to me I guess. If I'm right that you have some specific reason to survive that doesn't rely on you being scum, then that would make the most sense to me.

But you're right, for now there is no reason currently to pursue this.

I'm setting a phone alarm but I need to do other things, so I might not return before deadline (I probably will).

right now I still want somber to die more than anyone else, I've shown his points to be bad and scummy and there are other things like what Lumpen is saying that are scummy.

MC ED is a pretty probably scumbo but I am less inclined to kill him tonight than AnonNarc, I think.

I think somber is the best mix of probability of being scum and probability of being able to find something that incriminates others based on if he flips town or scum.

You've shown how you could consider my posts to be bad, which does not imply alignment. You have not shown how you could consider my posts to be scummy.

You've also shown zero doubt that I will flip scum, as evidenced by your preemptive disbelief in me claiming a power role. I find that ridiculous. As sure as I am that you are scum, and I am very sure, I know there's a chance I could be wrong. I don't think much of your reasoning and I too often make the mistake of bad ! = scum.

This is true, I'm mostly ignoring it because of everything else to do with Somb.

Narc replacing out makes me feel ughhh but also like I'd still kill Narc, and MC ED is a claimed busdriver but I think for reasons that I'm 100% not going into that I'd like to keep him/her alive.

if you want a lazy lynch Narc is way better than accountantman. Someone is going to replace in D2 to a player who has been actively scummy > a lurker who imo reads town.

In a voting out "anti-town" kind of way I'd vote for merk, numerrik, AnonNarc. Here anti-town means low content and lurking. I've excluded Hal because I won't vote for Hal.
I'd rather not vote for numerrik or AnonNarc as they are new. I don't want to vote for Somber because until further developments present themselves, his opportunism isn't strictly scummy in this instance.
