Did you purposefully leave out the quote that connects everything together, Bif?

Ah, yeah, you're right. I recognized the avatar but couldn't remember who it belonged to. I did remember, however, that this avatar bearing dude is frequently D1 misdunked so now I'm wondering about this poo poo :v:

I forgot it was there, since I thought it was odd to go from the way you sounded when you voted, to "not liking the case". If you're just having second thoughts and feeling less sure of yourself in voting Juch, okay, that's one thing. But that doesn't seem to line up with you saying you don't like the case at all. Back when the case was first made you had those strong statements on why you thought Juch deserved your vote at that time.

I originally voted Juchero because I thought his vote on me was kinda careless and pretty bad. Then I remembered he's real awkward in jokephase and decided it was more likely that he just wasn't thinking about it vs. deliberately trying to sneak a vote in on a turbo candidate or something.

Subsequently, I do not like the "Juchero's haiku insistence was awkward in jokephase" case for the same reason above.

Me not liking that case has no correlation to me unvoting because I changed my mind about the case that I, myself, created initially. They aren't the same case, man.

it's probably too early to be calling 'lurking' so we'd be dogpiling who we think would be a future lurker. you might say that we would reverse cause and effect, in order to make sure that whoever we killed would be a lurker, in the future.

I was just wondering what Chic Trombone's thoughts were on anime, video games, and erotic novels.

-Or B-minus1's, for that matter.

I dont watch anime, don't read erotic novels, and play like one video game a year. On a related note, I have been reading the fate/stay wiki over the last few days and I must say it sounds loving awesome. I may have to check it out.

fate isn't bad, just kind of boring

also zero is good, if just for the scene in which one wizard explains how he trapped every square inch of the hi-rise he's in with every bullshit spell he could muster, demons, etc

only for another wizard to collapse the entire building with C4

d1 lurker dunks are the most useless thing imo, it really just makes d2 into an extension of d1 since there's nothing to really talk about regarding their post history. i get the allure of them but wait until d2

I'm not even sure we have hardcore lurkers this game (though I am stuck on mobile so it's tough to see post counts).

I'm still waiting for someone to mess up but so far everyone is cool and good.

Dunno why, but bread's RP makes him seem town to me (though if he is scum RPing a berserker is a good way to avoid content)

Reading gulag as town.

You're right. I like bread's role play, but all we have is a joke vote on gulag and otherwise zero engagement.

I'd rather vote Chic whose biggest contribution is just "nuh UH voting lurkers D1 is STUPID", when she so conveniently happens to be a lurker.

observe how with "no posts = no information", she pushes the onus on me to explain what information we'd get from her lunch rather than, you know, providing more information by posting herself.

it's almost like i haven't been able to loving post over the last, what, day the game's been open, you overblown rear end

and, oh look, i'm posting when i have the opportunity. so shocking.

re: rex vote it's part a gut call and part seeing how people react. they've been moderately around but every post they've made is white noise, so they've been doing just enough to be here and not be "a lurker" while not actually contributing anything

All you've been doing since the game started has been trying to disengage from it. Lurking should be discouraged and scrutinized, regardless of alignment.

I'm trying to say that its not just as simple as you want to put it, that "lurker = autoscum". 50 is lurking harder than you and providing less content. But I find your defensiveness raised my suspicions more. Especially in the posts youve made since.

If I'm not supposed to look at peoples posts and say what I think is suspicious, please explain to me how else the game of Mafia should be played before I go leave to go gently caress myself.

Chic, will you be my friend? I asked Bif and they got all evasive and wanted to know if I go to church...

So that was weird.

I took a quick look. It was largely unhelpful.

I've responded to Bif more than I thought I had. I think i'm developing a cordial acquaintance with Prince of Space. I obviously didn't know either Shinji or Sakura before Bif made a stink about them. I seem to have some prior familiarity with MurmerTwin. I claim this is one of my first mafia games in my opening post, and state I'll play it because I enjoyed the possibility of wackiness.

.... I don't know. Theres not really a lot to go on yet. But I'm prepared to follow your gut on this one.

yeah, you got a point. I've got Rex sitting in the "mild suspicion" part of my lumpenlist. The mysterious flavour hinting has me a bit intrigued though.

Rex, maybe if you make some cases then people will want to be your mafia friend
