ok, fair enough. Thank you for telling me it's not personal. And I do understand that's how it looks to you. Now , the thing is I'm actually town. Maybe not a very good town player but you get all kinds, right?
So, I'll see this as a push for me to get into confronting other people and try and get some scum outed. Got it.
I'll try my best.

First, there's you: If this attack you started on me would result in a flip (And I'll be able to say told you so, which won't give me much pleasure, since it'd mean we'd be down to 5 town vs. 3 scum and that's not such a comfy position and I actually want town to win, despite my failings in helping in that regard) that would be the second time you started a wagon on a townie. Bad intentions? probably not. But other people might see it otherwise and call for your investigation. And if you flip town as well. well that's the person that's the most capable of getting elected for pope gone and us down to 4 vs 3, which is a very bad place to be in. if you flip mafia though, well I guess just proceed it will have been worth it for me.

Second, there's yogsloth. I like him. He makes me laugh. Guess that doesn't make him town, but it makes me not wanting to lynch him. And he apparently likes you. Elected you right of the bat. You two would make a great scum team. Good cop, bad cop kinda thing. Still, leaning town for me.

Third there's trent. I mean look at his posts. He is helpful in all kinds of ways. Asking questions and stuff. He has town written all over him. Like a born town. Well, that's my impression at least. Though I'm sure I'd read him the same way if he were mafia. But I can't really believe it.

Fourth well now it's getting hazy, haven't formed much of an opinion about others. Let's do Fark next: I don't like that he kinda cryptoclaimed. Although the code wasn't much of a code and I wasn't able to break it. Hurts my feelings. Anyway, messenger or prankster that he is, doesn't make him town. Also didn't like that he elects yogsloth just like that. Maybe the third mafia in there?

Fifth, there's PookaMustard. Hmm, looks neutral to me. But at least he's involved and he cracked Farks "code". which makes envious (I've tried you know) Was thinking he was hinting at Cardinal Names like S for South and E for East (which is me) but what would O stand for? had me stumped. turns out because I was completely wrong. Anyway, Pooka's not on my scumlist (Reminder to self, should create a scumlist) really, so leaning town.

ok, who's left. Let's look at bucktoothgamer. eh, don't like him throwing his vote around right after hammering a townie. (not against the hammering though, time had run out, someone had to do it). Better asking questions and stuff like trent, but then again, voting is kind of a way of asking questions, right cat? dunno, but bucktooth is leaning neutral to scum for me.

Ok, now Joppo. Only 4 Posts, I was on the edge of telling, now who's not engaged, but then I read the posts and man he is engaged :) damnit. I like his 4 posts. leaning town or really hard working scum to me. So I guess neutral.

Last but not least, there's supplementscene. Talk about hard to read posts. Well, he's not been back since I entered the game, so there's not much to say. Neutral, I guess.

So that's my thoughts on the players as of now. Nothing in there to make me vote for anyone yet. Also don't know how or what to question people on. Guess we'll see in time, if I can play up to your standards or if I'll just get lynched for being unhelpful.
Guess, I'll just try my best and root for town.

Still all that silence around the table. It seems, no one wants to get their hands dirty. Or are all afraid of being investigated themselves and seek refuge in silence? But the conclave can't go on forever. Everyone knows that. Sooner or later it will have to end one way or the other!


ELECTION:
Yogs Up 2 - Fark 147 and self

Everyone else is self-electing


INVESTIGATION:
yogs 1 - bucktooth 142
mchack 1 - catventurer 180

Not voting: everyone else
Not present: supplementscene - consider yourself poked! ... and microfish, but they are probably still sulking from being voted out. I won't enforce presence from those who were voted out, however, it would be nice if you kept playing!


DEADLINE: 13. Jan. in my evening (one week voting period)

Again, reading too much. One vote isn't campaigning to have someone eliminated. It's more like a big poke to do more than talk about scrappers every post.

I suspect that Day 2 is going to end with scum team deciding who gets investigated at this rate because participation has been very low this game.

VOTE Fark


Anyway my cat is looking at me like get off the forum, so I'm going back to my backlog. I think he likes looking at pretty graphics.

Funny story I keep thinking you are being a bit prankish with the death robots postings. As I only skimmed the opening post at game start I assumed some things about alignment and roles. Then Catventurer posted #165 and now I know some roles are any alignment, not just townies. Still, I have a good feeling about you so my election vote stays for now.

I tried to be obvious but not too obvious with my crumbs of the bread. Done this in a few games before here and there. On my election vote, read my last reply to yogsloth (#184) for more infos about that.

Okay, yeah, I'm really under the weather here. Caught another round of cold, as if one this winter wasn't enough.

Nothing instantly jumps on me but the Catventurer vs mchack kerfuffle is interesting, would be nice to see it unfold. But yeah, like someone else said, participation has been a bit low. Is this fatigue from not having a night to rest through?

Can we agree that Mafia Game #82 is just flat out cursed?

Besides you being sick and me being sick, I think scene is sick.

I also dropped a glass coffee cup on the kitchen floor and naturally it shattered, spewing glass everywhere. I also end up cutting my foot on broken glass trying to get to the cats to put them in the den, so then I end up spending two hours cleaning up broken glass and blood. I'm probably going to take a turn for the worse tomorrow just from having to pull the refrigerator out as I saw glass under it that I couldn't reach.


Except that I already moved my vote back onto Fark because really that vote was just "I demand that you talk about more than scrapers."

Opens parasol and puts on sunglasses in the middle of nighttime

So, I am back from an unplanned absence longer than I assumed it would be, due to real life stuff.

I quickly skimmed the thread because it's late here, can see we lost Micro, that Fark admitted a PR and that Trent confused it to be proven Town. Also that CatV and mchack are not seeing eye to eye. But then she votes Fark, hops to mchack then back to Fark? I assume she has an explanation typed but my eyes are closing by themselves.

Tomorrow I will have time to actually properly read everything that was said since my last post and see if I can find any reformers in there.

Me too. Luckily I have a laptop and I don't need to think as much as if I were playing.

I’ll be on later this evening when get home from work. Sorry I missed yesterday, me and the wife were doing vacation plans. She has a conference in Orlando in April, should be a lot of fun :-D

Now between this almost feeling like a ghost town and vampires showing up (prepares garlic grenades) I am starting to think maybe we need a future death robot to show up and motivate people…

But on a serious note, I sure hope Scene is ok, last time I remember him missing like this he was super sick :-(

Nothing has really changed, and I’m going to stop doubting my gut

Vote FarkyTheDog

You got me! I am the rare catholic vampire! I feed on only the blood of christ.

The only reforming I'm doing here is trying to get blackout curtains installed in the Vatican.

Catventurer seems to be laser focused on almost me alone, and it's townie's job to search all players to be most effective. Could just be tunneling and IRL intenvening, but perhaps it's something else as well. They were also semeingly trying to get voted off earlier during phase 1 but not so much anymore. Very odd.

Vote CatVenturer

(yes this is partly OMGUS vote)
