Tiruin, truth be told, I'm having a really shitty day at work. I had to vote somebody, and didn't have a lot of time to think about it.

Okay.

I've also got my charm and good looks. Today is the first day and there's been a lot of waffle and relatively little banana. I usually prefer to form my reads in light of role-flips and people's votes, and this game mode is especially ripe for taking a softly softly approach as everyone wants to survive until the second night so they can be sure to use their abilities. The scummiest thing I've seen is collectively the Deathsword-Tiruin-Ford dust up. That they're all so invested in it makes me think that one of them could be scum. My money's on DS for now.

There's only one mafia so I wouldn't claim the pile-up excuse.

Everyone, I have never played a mafia game where you get to pick your own roles before. Now I have learned too late that discussing roles in any way is a cardinal sin and is only done by fiendish scum, apparently.

Yes it is.

@Tiruin:
What usually gets me is when you make a statement I don't understand and think is completely wrong (thus label you scum).  I think Toaster and I can agree that your insistence on there being only one spy in the first failed mission in Revolution didn't mean you knew because you were scum, but that's what you strongly felt.  Which totally screwed me up.  THAT is what I want to avoid falling prey on.

So in other words, misunderstanding aren't scum-tells (usually).  I have to get clear answers.

Toony:  How do you deal with people who you mistakenly read as scummy?  (IE NQT and Tiruin)

I don't really know yet.  I sometimes right about Tiruin (Prince's Guard BUT THAT HURT ME REMEMBER) and sometimes wrong (whenever I'm actually town).  I just need to be more careful since I know people who aren't experts in English are going to have a harder time.

Why does everybody do this??  I know it means posting for prosperity I believe, but there's no reason to state your posts are gonna be half-assed.  You too Hapah and Tiruin!

It seems weird to adamantly demand proof how I know you're the KING Mafia.  That isn't insignificant at all.

"Adamantly demand" != "You're wrong. But if you have something to claim, I'd like to hear it."

And I don't know why it seems weird. It's normal for accusations to come paired with reasoning.

Nah uh, accusations don't need evidence.  Evidence != reasoning.

ToonyMan. Do you think you could show a little more patience?

Why?  I want to roll for KING Mafia after lynching you.

Town should cooperate because none of them is king and, thus, unable to win. By killing the King, a new round starts.

I believe you have the right of it, and I will try to co-operate with all of you until a round comes when I am king. Sound fair?

Well that's good, it'll be easier to tell if you're mafia.

Tiruin and NQT are also town in my mind thanks to Revolution.

...so you suck at reading people, so instead of trying to get better at it, you hold grudges?

It's safer to assume they're town so I don't go "they're totally acting scummy" and go for easy-lynch.  That's a pretty fast way to lose.  So no, I don't plan on voting them, today at least.  It's hard to even call that a grudge, and more an improvement process.

Hapah had a fine first response and Deathsword hasn't struck anything on me right now so the process isn't hard to see here.

So you're voting me for ... what, exactly? Not being you?

How clever, it's because I'm town and you're the only one left that can't be town, keep up!  My first post was a pretty simple scum-catch technique so I really expected a better response, you know?

@every question Tiruin has asked me:
Okay.  You're likely town so you don't need to win favors on me.

Yeah totally.  Captain Ford.

Fact: I have the most posts in every game I've played in (per day, for games I didn't play all the way through).
Fact: This is because I have more time to waste than you.
Fact: That is completely independent of my alignment.
Got anything else?

I don't think I could top the number of facts you got backing you up Mafia King!

Also, I noticed you directed that last question at Deathsword, but enclosed his name in img tags instead of bold. I'm surprised that Toaster didn't notice that since it was clearly visible in his own post.

I noticed it.  I don't see why it was worth mentioning, though.  How dare he hit the IMG tag button that is immediately under the bold button?

It's true, NQT didn't fix it again when quoting himself and Toaster, he must be mafia!
