in the beginning of the last post I messed up two links:
flubbucket saying he'd vote to lunch Yogsloth:
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/forum_mafia_58_disney_to_the_rescue/post194
Blotunga saying he'd vote to lunch Yogsloth:
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/forum_mafia_58_disney_to_the_rescue/post200
Hm? What did I say?
Microfish_1: I will say one more thing--I am town, vanilla. I bid for Rolecop, and lost. If the rolecop is Town, I invite them to investigate me overnight and prove my innocence.
If the Rolecop is scum, yikes. I don't know if such a thing is possible, but...at least it prevents scum from getting a useful-to-scum role? Oh my.
Does micro honestly not realise that A - proving that micro is vanilla doesn't prove that micro is town (this has come up already), and B - it is very possible for rolecop to be scum (why wouldn't it be?).
I'm swinging on this. On the one hand it looks like micro is somewhat-overplaying-his-lack-of-knowledge, and on the other hand I keep thinking "would he do this now if he weren't genuine?" Perhaps he was handling the pressure rather less well than I thought.

Second, this is wrong on so many levels.
*If* rolecop is town, you don't want him investigating you to "prove your innocence". You want him catching a Godfather. Or a strongman.
Second, and you should know it since mafiascum wiki mentions it "Role Cops are actually a somewhat popular Mafia role".
Your "If the Rolecop is scum, yikes. I don't know if such a thing is possible." is trying to show us that you think rolecoop mafiosos are "not possible" but are rather a town role? lol
Third, and you should really really know it, a rolecop won't confirm your side, just your role.
Methinks you're a vanilla scum.
I'm really tempted to vote you now.
Incidentally, since you claimed. Name, please.

I'm not as brilliant of a player as I tried to be, and it horribly backfired, but Pooka died, and for naught as of yet.
I could think that it was just Bookwyrm telling me my play is bad because Book was scum, but with Blot, Book, ZFR, Koro etc saying my play is bad, I have to face that it is.
I will say one more thing--I am town, vanilla. I bid for Rolecop, and lost. If the rolecop is Town, I invite them to investigate me overnight and prove my innocence.

Sorry but now only there is one thing to bring peace to our minds.
VOTE Microfish

I think microfish is pretty tonally pure.
The whole thing about "investigate me as vanilla to prove I'm Town" is what on MU they call a "derpclear". I buy it.
Not voting there.

huh.
You seem convinced. How convinced are you?
At MU what does a derpclear generally signifiy?
also I never got a response to my questions before - I should have put your name in bold:
Yogsloth - are you genuinely convinced that flubbucket is town?
Do you think I'm wrong to have concerns about the way your lynch wagon turned out yesterday?

The flub dramatically announces "I SAW YOU" (I approve of his flair)
.........
I had just woke up and failed to refresh the game, so I didn't see the whole other page of posts from him and others.
I am dumb.

I sleep a bit and now I have 2 suspects.
@joe: I meant that when you said that Microfish's game is weaker than before.
@Microfish: since you claimed, you might aswell give us a name and the text of your investigation last night.

Incidentally, since you claimed. Name, please.
I forgot when bidding for this game and until reading this that rolecop ("Rolecop - Learn someone's role.") didn't reveal side/alignment; that "role" doesn't equate to "side," as I had been thinking. Thank you for the reminder. I did not think that rolecop could be scum; more on that later.
THB, I haven't paid much attention to the mafia wiki, as when i went there for the flash file, it downloaded a .swf slideshow that wouldn't play, had no sound, and looked nothing like the interactive movie-thing that others discovered.
Read my statement from the perspective (which I had) of "rolecop finds alignment", and you will eminently see why I though it could not be a scum role. In case anyone reading this didn't/doesn't get my thinking, I was thinking:
"Rolecop shows alignment. A role which shows alignment is useless for scum; they would already know who the scum are, and all non-scum are the enemies of the scum. Therefore, Rolecop is Town-only, they could investigate me and prove my innocence."
-------
My death will do town no good, as I have played so badly that they will gain no leads. I feel ashamed, and apologize to my town teammates, you individually (and the mafia collectively) know who you are.
Since I have played so badly, i'm kinda suspicious of those who haven't criticized my play, namely Yogsloth.
I will be happy to reveal my name, etc, have asked trent if I might quote him verbatim, and am waiting on a response.

I am vanilla, I did not investigate anyone last night (obviously), and as soon as Trent okays it I will quote my PM verbatim.
The fact that you suspected me but ask for "the text of your investigation last night" (after reading that I am vanilla), was an error on your part, and to my mind confirms that you are, in fact, scum.
Edit: I just saw your post, and yeah. I'm not claiming a power role; there would be 0 point to doing so (that I can see). I bid and lost, and assumed (again, not rereading, just recalling faultily) my preferred role was town-only. I honorably own up to the fact that I am VT, it would be stupid for me to claim any PR (which could be easily countered).
I think it obvious that with 17 PRs spread among 10 players, most everyone has a PR, and as a VT (I wonder if I'm the only one?), not only is it useless for me to false-claim a PR, that action would insta-damn me in the eyes of the real one.
I'm wondering if Koro is scum this time; he did a good job as town last time, maybe Trent moved him to scum or 3rd-party for this round.
If we have 2 scum, i suspect we have a 3rd-party, if 3 scum, than no 3rd party. Such is my hunch; you'll put weight behind my claim when I am lynched or NK'd, and confirmed to be town.
Based on my PM, I strongly suspect that we in fact do have a 3rd-party, but I might simply be unfamiliar with Trent's style of writing.

@Micro: how does me reading superficially and correcting myself more scum? What did trent write that made you think there are more than 2 factions? I'm sure I'd recognize it if you'd quote it.
