I have missed mafia with my new schedule.

I am moving tomorrow, after that we'll see what my free time holds.

I hope to mislynch you all again soon.

Yeah. He's also not in the last episode at all, which is some bullshit. They managed to recapture a lot of the Sorkin style in the last two seasons, and especially season 7, but they really dropped the ball on Toby.

I guess he chose to leave the show once his contract was fulfilled.

I was super stoked for Prime Day because I just bought a Fire phone recently and got a year of Prime with it, and I've actually got a little money from student loans right now buuuuut pretty much everything has either been "I don't need this at all" "this isn't even worth it at the sale price" or "100% claimed"

I've got some stuff in my cart but blehhhh the stuff I need is like, socks and a step stool and earbuds and a PS3 controller. Plus I'm finding it kind of difficult to navigate.

Well there's your problem: you're picking out scum. Pick out innocent townies and case then instead.

Look at the casework that you found compelling in previous games and try to determine why you found them compelling. The best cases, to me, convey the strongest reason for why someone is scum in a very succinct manner. The long, flowery cases get overlooked because people are lazy. You need to capture and persuade your reader in 1-3 short sentences/points.

I also like to use pointed questions at people to try to get them to either review or comment on my case. This will also help you determine the alignment of the players that you prod. It's a give and take though; you can't be the guy who only asks questions of others without putting out his own responses to their questions.

Not saying you do this but in general don't spam the thread with an epic megacase that takes up the entire screen as your method of getting people on your side, peoples attention spans are short, and they will not digest it. I find you are better off posting your thoughts as they come up, and not letting them pile up, and just be genuine, and explain why you feel the way you do. Good townies will recognize this, and give your case more attention than some mega post of quotes and lovely blurbs about why the posts were scummy, or an essay that is 5 paragraphs long or something

Also the more obviously town you are the more likely that town will take your thoughts into consideration, don't be a scummy player and then come out of nowhere with a case and expect people to be swawyed

Looking at the last two games I was in, is the big mega case in one of them (WIFOA), but the other had more fluid points (pecan pageant)

I'll try to be less long winded though.

This is one of the biggest problems with our town players. You have to be able to separate your belief about an unflipped player's alignment from the cases that person makes. You also have to separate your belief of an unflipped player's alignment from every other belief you have about an unflipped player's alignment.

You can definitely say things like:
"I think merk is scum, but his case on JakeP is great. ##vote JakeP."
"I think merk is scum. I think JakeP is scum, but probably not scum with merk. ##vote JakeP."

As someone who is very clearly long-winded, I usually try to

(a) understand my thought process[/b] before I post it, so if people challenge me on my posts I can justify them
(b) directly engage with the people who I think are scummy so there is an obvious thing for people to reply to
(c) bold the important parts of my megapost if I think it's so long that people won't read it (I actually always forget to do this but I think it's a generally good idea)
(d) be aware of the presence of scum. If your giant case is right and being dismissed, it might be a sign that you're right. Conversely, if your giant case is being agreed upon by almost everyone, it means scum is cool with it and you're (likely) wrong.
