Is it too early to ##vote LoH?

It is always too soon for that.

I'm worried not voting LoH right away will be a scum tell, if he is scum.

I cannot possibly be that scary.

I beg to differ

I don't think I had a huge influence on the game--for me that's something like Merk singlehanded lye shifting the vote off Punt and onto Meinberg. I just kind of hid and let people like Sinistral do their thing.

Like, I was joking with my ecco vote but it looks like MG took it seriously?

Yeah, I don't particularly like the look of that. Is MG a mafia regular?

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
I don't think I can articulate it very well--part of it is probably just that I'm coming off of a game where we had a confirmed town the whole game and I was scum, but for me at least there was always an impulse, when somebody I reckoned to be pretty good expressed even idle suspicion, to try and stoke that with some little bit of supporting evidence. I spent a lot of time trying to make things that would otherwise confirm people as town look less bulletproof. Responding to somebody's jokevote with "Hm, I think you are right, here I will make a case on them (insofar as you can make a case this early)". That post I could look past, but trying to draw attention back to that just...eh. Gives me an uneasy feeling, I guess?

But then, if you've got actual Mafia chops, then I suppose you wouldn't do something so blatant that I could pick up on it.

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.

Random observation made in the middle of a work meeting: Hats' lack of posts makes me feel like he is town, strangely enough.

It's because I'm less confident. In Qal I already knew who the scum was, so I had the benefit of certainty--I could look for whatever pretty much, or see somebody else's case and piggyback on that, because I knew I was going along with a townie (who was wrong). Here, I'm hesitant about "Oh no what if I'm agreeing with a scum!" so I post less.

Still don't like MG2, though.

Looking over MG2's post history, besides the "wow, there's not much here", my main reaction is that he does the whole "making reference to things that didn't happen" thing that I distrust so much.

This post from Ecco seems to be awkwardly defending Ecco from the accusatory post I made w/r/t Ecco.

##vote Ecco

The accusatory post in question being "Hey, remember this one time when Merk and Ecco were a scumteam"? It's just... nothing.

Hey now, I agree with you! I'm not nobody!

But yeah, if there's one thing that soldiers game has taught me, it's that scum *love* active posters getting lynched. The more lurkers or low-content posters around at the end, the more targets the active posters have to pick from.

The Lord of Hats

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
I agree that we lynch tonight--what it comes down to is weighing whether we value the chance at additional info for this single lynch more than we value having an extra town going past today, and I don't think we do. If we no-lynch, I think we put ourselves in permanent LYLO going forward, right?

There's three scum, not two.

And no, I am not scum.

I'm kind of in the same line of thinking. Reread time, I guess.

Alright, reread both Quandary and SSV.

I've got nothing. Just... nothing.

Yeah, I'm pretty surprised that they'd have picked him. He seemed like a good target for a mislynch later on.

Where the hell were you! If you were around and I wasn't so worried about dealing with you not being here I wouldn't have done that.

I had just seen Quandary's plea to me and FL, and had started my reread :(

But yeah, I'm not free of blame, I was way too disengaged this game. I need to limit myself to one game at once.
