TNL your posting style has been a lot of fun to read. Where did you get the unscrupulous businessmen thing for scum flavor? I didn't get any explicit flavor stuff about it and on reread of the OP it seemed like a little bit of a jump from the given flavor to your post.

One thing I noticed so far that has stood out: BK seems really engaged this game, and he's been making interesting points wrt imgay (even if I don't agree) which makes me think he's town. It feels a lot different than the last game I played with him, where he felt less immediately involved and active in thread, and was scum. (That was Generic Mafia, for those keeping score at home - a game from late last month).

##vote Leatherman

Things that I'm usually suspicious of in the early game:

(a) town reads
(b) politeness
(c) taking jokeposts or insignificant details too seriously

And I feel like Leatherman is doing all three here.

It doesn't have anything to do with my read on FL - obviously the implication is that I'm accusing him of being scum fakeclaiming miller. It doesn't detract from my point that I see things that I perceive as scumtells in that specific post I quoted.

I wasn't a huge fan of this post because it (a) doesn't address the actual points of my case and (b) makes the implication that because I didn't mention FL's miller claim, that I didn't read his posts. But I wanted to sit on that out of fear that I was just mentally OMGUSing. But then

For example, I've seen a lot of fresh faces confuse friendly banter for more serious discussion. I also think they tend to be more polite than your normal abrasive adventurer. Not all of us are as used to the harsh realities of the open road. Couldn't all your points here be explained by Leatherman's inexperience?"

I feel like casing in mafia is like dancing at a bar - it's awkward when no one else is doing it, but all it takes is one brave soul to start things off.

That's the extent of his casework so far, and I'm suspicious of the fact that other people aren't bringing him up as a scum suspect (which makes me think he's protected scum).

I'm still suspcious of BHB but don't want to get rid of someone who is actually trying; I'm suspicious of Kash and BK but not enough to feel confident in my read; I think infinitum is town and don't want to vote there. I don't buy the case on iajanus but if someone wants to sell me on it they're welcome to.

I get more of a "new" impression than a "scummy" one on iajanus, and more of a "lurking scum" than "distracted town" impression on Jedit. Apparently I wasn't the only one.

Admittedly I'm suspicious at how easy people moved off iajanus to Jedit but that's information for town regardless.

##vote MG3

I personally think you're scum because there seems to be a disconnect:

(a) you jailed imgay because you're suspicious of him
(b) imgay posts in the thread but doesn't mention being jailed

I feel like if you were town in that position, you'd be asking imgay to verify you're claim that he was jailed, which would at least help prove you're telling the truth about your claim. Instead of pursuing that train of thought, you throw a vote at MG3 for what appears to be a vote on you and a joke about deadline.

I'll hold off on voting for the sake of not rushing through things but this is an unofficial vote for infinitum.

BottleKnight posted:

what is he supposed to do? further badger someone who hasn't posted since he's been asked?

Let's say everyone's telling the truth:

D1/N1:
(a) Infinitum was almost lynched yesterday but survived by claiming jailer.
(b) Imgay goes to shoot someone (for the sake of example we'll say Kashuno) and is jailed.

D2:
(a) Imgay posts but doesn't mention anything about being jailed.
(b) Infinitum switches to MG3

So if I was Infinitum, I would be aware of the fact that imgay can verify my claim that I'm jailer and would ask him to do so. It'd be the first thing on my mind. Since imgay hadn't mentioned it, my next thought would be "is imgay, my primary scum suspect, lying about his vig claim?" and I would probably use that to try and sell people on the fact that imgay is lying scum.

That said, much like with Jedit I'm concerned with how willing people seem to be to quickly vote for him, which is concerning.

I didn't finish that thought.

I get that I'm making a lot of assumptions about how Infinitum would play and I'm not saying I'm 100% sure of it, only that I find it suspicious that nothing really changed and yet Infinitum went from suspecting imgay to suspecting MG3. That's all.

Barehanded Brother posted:

I do think Infinitum's claim is more and more bullshit the more he posts though. He should have been the lynch yesterday until BK went all bleeding heart over the claim and then MT cottoned on and picked Lurker Jedit out of a hat to be the easy sacrifice, ignoring my case and the healthy suspicion on iajanus.

In order, I'd vote iajanus->Infititum->MT.

I'm not a huge fan of the narrative that I pick a name and whoever I say goes, goes. And I didn't ignore your case on iajanus, I just didn't agree with it - there are plenty of other players in the game you could have convinced.

While it sucks that Jedit was town, I feel reasonably confident with how easy that vote went that scum was probably in on it to some degree. One of whom may be iajanus!

Right now I'm back on Infinitum - I think giving a claim the benefit of the doubt is fine but the story he's telling feels fabricated to me (as mentioned already).
