Jose, why do you want me dead so bad? I've played one game with you and it was a game that was too robust and long for me actively care about. Your tunnel and like of any effort day one is worse than anything I even did in the soldiers game.

Wanting to lynch me instead of scum is why I believe people are voting you now. I recommend you start taking this game more seriously or the threads going to end up lynching you on principle.

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
Alternate universe Imgay makes a compelling case. Although actually, I do remember that before he died early in Jojos mafia, he was more active than he was in soldiers game before I shanked him in battle.

Even if Imgay was shitposting, I still think it's a bad call to policy lynch him. Given that he's contributing, it's even worse of a plan.

This is an absolutely terrible point and you know that. Are you actually going to try to make this claim as a certainty?

I think Max is scummy based on his terrible claim that I'm scum and swooped in at 3 minutes to the deadline to kill merk instead of letting us no kill

Agreed here Max's case is pretty poor. Lynching merk over no-lynching is not a bad thing to do.

Your entire game in soldiers was poo poo posting, that's all you did the entire game. That's why I didn't want to play with you and that's why I wanted to kill you day 1. Even now your "effort" is fake effort like:

imgay posted:

Now let's look at merk and ecco and what they contributed so far. Oh wait, they haven't contributed anything but unapologetic poo poo postings that do nothing but insult the time and effort our host cpig put into this game. If they stay down this awful rabbit hole, I'd whole heartfelt agree with them being scum. Maybe put some effort in your posts and try to make the SA mafia community less lovely for all of us.

I wasn't saying that you should just trust me that he'd be dead if I was scum and use that as proof of my being town, it is just a statement of fact and whether you believe it or not is irrelevant.

As to this point, I 100% disagree. He coasted by doing jack poo poo in Soldiers for most of the game and nobody wanted to kill him because he was just a poo poo poster. If he'd been scum he would have coasted to victory because nobody wants to kill a poo poo poster who isn't participating. The only reason I'm not pushing harder for him to be the d2 kill is because while I think the comments about his effort are giving him way too much credit at least he's not pure poo poo posting and is actually commenting on the game.

OK, bed time, ##vote Max for rushing in to put together the worst possible case based on the merk execution. He's just trying to roll over one town execution into another based on poor logic.

If you call my content fake, then you need to take a good, hard look at your own content. You keep pushing me for no other reason than you think I'm a shitposter. I haven't shitposted once this game and yet you are continuing to make the argument that I am. If you aren't going to try to play mafia and just vote based on meta that isn't consistent with this game, then I give up on you dude.

I honestly don't understand your beef with me, but you've been using this as a guise of actually doing anything the entire game. Your day one content was bereft of any content and your push on me day two is dog poo poo.

I love how your case against him is "he's not going to do anything but poo poo post" but you don't want to vote him because "he's not poo poo posting." Do you not see how that's ridiculous?

To clarify on this post because I missed a sentence. It's bad that you make the case on imgay then when you're called on it you back off a bit by admitting your case is actually non-existent, but you're still continuing to push it regardless.

Please show me where I have said you are poo poo posting in this game.
Please show me where I have pushed for your execution day 2.

Neither of those things exist. The only reason I'm talking about imgay day 2 is because you guys are bringing it up.

My content day 1 was low because honestly I didn't realize day 1 was only going to be 48 hours long. When Ecco posted the 15 minute warning I started looking at other options.

because he's posting but he's barely present in the game. see: yesterday, where he forgot he made a vote for me a few hours (maybe even minutes?) after he did so.

It is good to vote out players like that. At best they're town liabilities, at worst they're scum who will never be given a second glance.

Nope, the first one says you are a poo poo poster, not that you are poo poo posting in this particular game. In fact the entire point of that first post is that you were calling Ecco and merk poo poo posters and saying how poo poo posters like them are ruining Mafia when you don't really feel that way. It's fake content, you don't actually believe what you were saying, that's why I said you were trolling but I didn't say you were poo poo posting.

The second says I would still like to execute you on principal when I was directly asked by Quandary, it does not ask anyone else to vote for you

MAFIA GAME let's BREAK THIS DOWN WOO


okay so I am going to categorize players into two groups, the worthless and the not necessarily worthless. it should be obvious who falls into which group even at a glance.

THE WORTHLESS:
TMM, ultra-worthless (moved a vote onto a townie and then got himself killed, gj tmm)

MG2, posts occasionally but is never "present" in the thread. Forgot a vote he made less than an hour after he made it.

imgay. For all his bluster he hasn't actually done much this game so far. I can't recall a specific opinion he's had that wasn't couched on "I am town how dare people be votin' me."

Sir Sam Vimes is apparently in this game. I could not have told you that. He should post more and better.


THE NOT NECESSARILY WORTHLESS:

hm this has become a less fruitful analysis than I expected going into this post.

BottleKnight - non-entity this game, what little he has posted has been scummy (his case on murmur without a vote e.g.)
EccoRaven - the towniest town to town a town
Flying Leatherman - came for the clutch with a merk vote yesterday, gets points in my book.
Jose Valasquez - I get townie feelings from jose. I feel like scum jose WOULD have tried to kill imgay last night.
Max - neutral
Murmur Twin - has been moving but if she can't participate more fully she should get replaced.
Quandary - I have been getting scummy vibes from him all game.
The Lord of Hats - neutral

nah also I haven't been calling you scum "over and over." I said once at the end of day 1 that I would vote for you, but I didn't think it was likely we could muster the votes on you AND I wanted to cut chaff first.

I feel like his "I refuse to vote for policy lunches!" stance is really fake. It feels like what he thinks townies would do rather than what he actually feels. Especially if it turns out imgay and/or magnus are scum, it's a very safe way to deflect heat from a scumbuddy.

I dunno it's just something about him. I can't really explain it but nothing he's posted so far has felt genuine, it feels like it is crafted from the perspective of someone trying to do what they think townies would do.

Also the synx gambit, it rarely fails, it has as high a success rate as the rolleyes principle.

I'm town, but for someone to say I'm scum and that they would vote me D1 and then instead stay on this bad Magnus case into D2 is scummy. It's forced.

nope it's actually pretty sensible, esp. in a game where we almost no-hanged day 1 because people aren't playing mafia. it is the heart and soul of the ecco gambit, which is named for me, because it's something I like to do and it's generally a good idea way more often than not.
