In my short mafia career (busb, since you were asking earlier, this is my fifth game), I have not often found myself in agreement with Juanito but in this case I can agree that after reading so far I don't see a compelling case on anyone so ##vote no-lynch so we can let all the power roles fly.

I don't think this is a great idea but I do not think it is a scummy move to suggest it.

Even if we vote no lynch I do not think we should turbo it.

I am aware these are super boring opinions.

With only 3 and a half pages in and a day and a half til deadline there's not a lot of real content yet. Also none of the joke votes were good enough that I was like "yeah I want to get in on that." Plus I'm not clever enough to come up with my own joke vote so I wanted to try something different, a no lynch vote. I'm indifferent on if turboing it or not is the right option but I won't lie that I'm super excited to have a power role to use.

OP doesn't clarify anything about this, is it plurality lynch if we don't reach a majority, or should we assume since nothing is said that it's a majority or nothing?

I like you, let's be friends.

How do you feel about the strong mouse?

I think Chaoslord is acting scummy.

Voting for a no-lynch on day 1 isn't particularly evil, but power roles flying around hurts the town more than it helps.

This whole section of this post seems hyper-defensive to me.

Right here he (she?) uses weasel language to excuse not having to make a decision, a classic scum tactic.

All of Chaoslord's scummy actions also signal that someone's a newbie, and by his (her?) own admission this is his (her?) fifth game of mafia on Something Awful. With nothing stronger to go on, and this being a decent case for a day one lynch as far as I'm concerned, I will ##vote chaoslord for now.

I totally see what you're getting at. His phrasing is definitely odd and the excuses for not throwing down a vote is like, textbook scummy - but I think it's also pretty reasonable for page 4. I think he's being fairly transparent and it's coming off strange.

To clarify - when I say 'textbook scummy' I mean out of context it's like "this what a scum might do." Sort of...too scummy...to be scum, if you feel me.

Elephant posted:

I'm phone posting, so excuse my lack of effort, but reviewing over the thread I don't like Savahontas changing his vote 4 times in half as many days. He also hasn't posted much in the way of solid content, at least as far as what I saw. And other than his vote on yuming I think all of those votes were the same people busb voted. The last vote on me in particular he basically just quoted busb for his reasoning. ##unvote ##vote Savahontas

I think this is a bad vote. I can't help if busb is a bro and I agree with him, but the first vote was a joke, and I unvoted chaoslorde because he defended himself. I also unvoted Strong Mouse because I didn't realize this was his first game.

I don't agree with fv's case but I fail to see how it's scummy. Is he twisting words or misrepresenting them? Or just making a weak case?

only vaguely relevant: I am a lady.

I would be OK voting for Asiina, mostly because he's mostly lurking with only 2 content posts... both of which mostly echo the consensus (fv has a bad case, chaoslord is town).

Strong Mouse posted:

Well Asiina hasn't said much, and I actually forgot about them. fv seems to be defensive about how other people are voting. Savahontas has changed votes a lot, but I mainly think that is to see people's reactions. Foo seems to mainly respond to things people say and not really add much of his own unless in response. Juanito is around and hasn't voted at all. chaoslord has posted a bit and people jumped on him, then he explained and people jumped off him, so I don't really know.

Just so you know, it is absolutely okay to be wrong. We are all terrible at this game, a bunch of idiots shouting into a void, if you will.

It's a lot harder to find things to shout about if you're quiet, is all.

What do you mean? No one likes fv's case. Some people are even voting him.

All you wrote was "I don't think it's that strong."

That reads to me like you're trying to fly under the radar but still post vague content.

It's not my fault that fvs case is flimsy and showed up right after she got called out for not posting, like "oops I better throw together a case"

Yeah, I didn't really consider the timing here. I thought it was unlikely that a scum would just appear on page 5 and effortpost when we're just getting stared... I didn't consider the call out.

I'm sorry I literally finally understand - you're all saying that it's possible if elephant is telling the truth about his role that he is still scum because the roles are randomized.

I really disagree on elephant. I think his vote was completely necessary - and fairly early - so unless it was some pretty hard bussing, why go there?

I think elephant just has a sort of awkward grasp on the english language.

I dont like this post from busb. I feel like this post is setting us up to only really look at the people not on the vote, when I'm not sure its possible to say definitively that scum were/weren't voting for tearshed.

I also think this, and his post about whether scum would vote their buddy early/late are more distraction than actual discussion.

I agree with Juanito but when I read back through Foo there was nothing specific to point to, so at this point it's just a useless observation.

I don't know that I'll be around much tomorrow, I am good with my vote on Kells.

As we discussed, the roles are randomized, so it doesn't matter that the role is scummy (or if it'd been town). I still think it's a good bet.
