Yikes I can barely follow all this unbuddylike conversing!

So how are your respective days going, pals?

It's going great! My phone that I got two days ago was acting up so I took it to the sprint store and got it replaced for totally free. Best of all, they didn't need the charger or earbuds back so now I have two pairs of each! Which is especially good about the charger since it's a proprietary Samsung "fast charging" one. A very good day, bud. Yours?

Can't complain too much, chum! It's rainy outside finally - area's been in a semi-drought situation with this crazy hot summer - and I'm working from home today and tomorrow, so it's been a mostly relaxing day of watching the rain come down while yelling at people.

Honestly looking up that Heavyweights clip from earlier makes me want to watch Heavyweights again. Such a good movie. It's my favorite childhood movie that's actually good, with either Good Burger or Space Jam being my favorite childhood movie that's really really bad.

I am new, in fact! MMM chatted me up in the Awful Survivor vista doc and invited me to try Mafia out. I've been lurking/spectating some of the active games, so I decided to give it a shot!

yes welcome!

okay well since you're new AND a buddy I will let you know about the rolleyes gambit! It's a really old thing in mafia that someone noticed a long time ago but has held true way more often than not:
When a mafia player is called scum they don't react naturally because they know in their heart it's correct. So they have to fake it! And one of the tell-tale signs is a sarcastic : rolleyes :.

It usually goes like this:
"You are scum!"
"Yeah, right. :rolleyes:" <-- SO FAKE

that was essentially what rarity did! The rolleyes emote is just so over-the-top sarcastic that it pushes it into Faketown, U.S.A. (or in Rarity's case Insincereshire, U.K.).

Combined with Rarity inadvertently scumclaiming in her first post by (essentially) calling us all not her buddies, it makes me think she's not our buddy at all.

We should vote for her!

Thanks for the explanation, buddy! I do have one question, though... Isn't it also said that the first person who jumps on casing someone else could also be scum?! :kiddo: Just wondering!

I mean lots of things are said, but if someone is saying that particular thing, then I think they're mistaken! Scum generally play reactively, that is, they don't want to rock the boat or draw attention to themselves, since attention is what gets them caught. For instance, "all scum" games (where everyone is secretly a mafia or something) tend to stagnate because nobody makes cases.

This dude I've got a thing for invited me to a beach bonfire with his friends and it was nighttime and he kept smiling this incredible smile and I drank peach beer and he kissed me on a dune.

It is kinda silly typing it out, but it was a very sensory dream, like I could feel cool damp sandy soil and smell the dude's wet hair in the dream and when I woke up it felt more like a very pleasant memory than a dream at all.

I think that's a bad way to look at it. I think you would rather play with Rarity than not, and you're willing to overlook little scumtells as a result. I think you should consider it objectively and realize it's probably more likely to be correct than incorrect, especially for a "first hours of day 1" case.
