then proceed to push with mobilized to capture what is left after nuclear strikes.

Remember the time Russia occupied Chernobyl? Remember when its soldiers were playing around in the Red Forest, the notoriously highly irradiated forest that came about some years after the disaster? Remember how they were making trenches in the highly irradiated parts in the exclusion zone?

Yeah.. Russia has NO strategic depth or knowledge on how to do military operations with territory that has irradiated terrain/environments.

Russia has NO strategic depth or knowledge on how to do military operations. Period

It still conducts them. Besides, no one cares, even in Russia, if Russian soldiers will die.

I see no other logical explanation of this referendums circus, other than a thin excuse for using nuclear weapons. Sure, Russia did many illogical steps in this war and it may be one of them.

Nobody outside of Ukraine gave much of a shit about Crimea being annexed in 2014. Russia is probably hoping the same thing happens here when the referendum shows that citizens totally weren’t forced or intimidated by armed soldiers at their door to vote for annexation. The nuclear threat is presumably to stop Ukraine from trying to take these territories back.

Don’t put it in the scum’s hands. I don’t like either other option.

Excuse me?

Also EJ what the shit you have plenty time to look into me.

If you don’t want to go through the 30+ pages of thread, go to search function for the forum a couple of tabs to the left of the “my messages” tab, put Supernatural in the search bar, sorted by recent posts, my name in the user bar, and you probably don’t even need to limit it to the mafia subforum but do it anyway. I just did it and it lists all my posts in the game on the first page, which is good ‘cause I think it breaks if you try to go to page 2.

I don’t mind the vote, but I’d like a better reason than “fuck it” :p

@Persus

I’m later to comment on events in the game than most, sure, ‘cause of the coasting, and I’m working with the same information that everyone else is, so it shouldn’t really be that surprising I’m drawing the same conclusions as other players.

I don’t really know what you’re expecting me to do. If I don’t have anything novel to say should I just be silent and/or not vote?

@Vector

My preference would be for a Max elimination, but I’m not averse to a 4mask one either, as I would hope my recent posts have made clear.

Jim made a summary of Max’s play (that I’ll link in a different post ‘cause of a current distraction) that adequately describes a significant portion of why I like Max as scum, Max has dropped quite a few votes today which is absolutely not something he tends to do, and he delegated his vote to Jim, even though he at one point suggested to Jim he didn’t trust him, plus trying to keep himself off the block shifting to voting NQT, who I currently read as town.

@Persus, another person making it hard for me to clip quotes on my phone

I get the coasting thing, ‘cause I am, for the various reasons I think I outlined at the top of my reads list.

As fer 4mask, it was this post I was referring to with the sheeping thing. He also seems to have spent a lot of time reading games other than this one to get a handle on Tric, which is an awful lot of effort for very little payoff (the possibility of solving one slot on D1 in a 13 player game). I could argue that makes it look like he’s making an effort when he really isn’t, but I’d rather have a Max elimination at this time.

Lenglon favouring NQT over 4mask also raised a point against 4mask, namely that 4mask hasn’t voted after 2 early RVS efforts, and a vote on Tric two posts after the one I linked, at that point based on sheeping and a bizarro scumtell in the post between the vote and the linked one. I’m used to seeing 4mask throw his vote around like it’s going out of fashion. I will concede I’ve not played a game with him for a while, but it doesn’t sit well.

Continuing on from something I said earlier, that the town’s weapon against hostile parties is voting them out, obviously that means a townie’s vote is important. Max thus delegating his vote to someone else does not reflect well on him, and 4mask parking their vote on Tric for sheepy/bizarre reasons while they go out of thread to figure them out is also a bit of a weird one.

Anyway… that’s another thing that got away from me heh.

As for EJ, I think I said at the end of my read in him that I could be wrong, I’m just kind of unwilling to scumread someone (on D1) for making a good effort to push the game forward, even if it’s against their meta a little bit. He might very well have phases of paranoia as scum - I’ve been playing mafia for years and I get waves like that as both alignments - but I would probably expect that to manifest itself in the scum thread if he has one available rather than the game thread. I’m not sure how easy it would be to fake paranoia realistically.

Anyway, even thinking of it like that, there are other people I would prefer to see flip instead of EJ right now. I think in the views of other people, you and I are probably on that list :p

Also, you seem to have set aside a part for Toony in that big post, but there’s nothing in it.
