(emphasis added)
Why do you say that? Did I miss something?



You are going to be casting lots of votes if you vote every time someone mentions town as a third party. I give you credit for looking for a scum tell and voting on something that stands out. I think you'll find, though, that this is common language. Finding scum on day one is hard. That's why more often than not, a townie is lynched on D1; players are grasping at any little thing because we don't have anything concrete yet to go on.

Well, bookwyrm was offering shoes earlier.

Is your vote on drealmer a serious vote? If so, can you provide an example where he is "attempting to avoid undue attention"? How does being level-headed and reasonable make a player scummy?

BTW, it does take a while to get use to the lingo. The commonly used abbreviations section of the wiki is really helpful.

Are you done with finals? We appear to be moving out of RVS. Would be great to hear your impressions so far.

You may need to bold the Unvote in order for the vote to count. Depends on the mod.


There's always a first. ;)

Why do we have a no edit rule, anyway? I'm not sure what problem is being solved there.

Editing allows you to delete your "slips", manipulate whatever information you said or gave and if editing was allowed, well... Code of Honor is not a thing to be trusted in Mafia games...

Ohh, I was thinking it was to stop people changing their votes in the past or something. That wouldn't look very legit if the timestamp was more than a few minutes later.

Thank god these days have time limits, because I can't keep the muffins coming forever.

Yeah, vote changing as well. And many other reasons I didn't think of.

Say for instance I state, "I want to be replaced." But then later I edit the post to say, "I'm going to be a responsible adult someday."

Those statements mean two very different things.

The ability to go back and ask a player why he/she said this or that and hold them to their statements is key.

Sadly, both statements are almost always a lie. Who would want to be replaced? Crazy!! Responsible human being? It's like Pinocchio's wish to be a real boy.

Thanks for the suggestion. Found out what "flip" meant now :D.
Again, I'm not sure whether or not my vote is a serious one, but given the current situation (nothing has really happened yet), I'm not sure a serious vote is possible. Still, best to make SOME guess rather than none, at least even if it is wrong, it will push things forward and help create a situation where people's reactions may help find out the actual scum.

Having said that, if I were scum, I'd totally be super organisey and helpful and doing everything to rally people behind me (or at least agree with me) so as to draw attention away from myself.
Not sure how I can prove I'm not scum, however. I give you my word? :D

Nothing too serious, but I find your saying "if I were scum, I would dominate in helpful way to stay out of sight myself" like a two faced thing. On one hand, you are right... For now you are getting heat and you do little to cool that heat off. And if you were trying to help Town, you would indeed draw some of that heat from you onto the other player.

On the other hand... Your ideas are making me doubt your allignement. Why would you only be organisey and helpful only if you were scum? Lets believe you are townie for a moment... You should do the exact same thing! Be organisey and helpful! For Town!

So again, nothing too major here, but being helpful for Town if you are townie is just as "a must" as you would help Mafia if you were scum.

Then again, I might be expecting too much for a current situation.

What you are describing is LAMIST (Look At Me I'm So Town), where someone is trying so hard to appear town that it's scummy.

@Hijack, I saw you post briefly asking if we were still in RVS and then nothing. Any thoughts you'd like to share? You have not made a significant post all game. Not sure if you are trying to lay low and avoid being noticed or if real life has been that busy.

Unvote JMich
Vote Hijack

As the evening draws on, some people start getting agitated, perceiving that others aren't as invested in the discussion as they are themselves.

The mayor brings in another round of muffins, orange poppyseed this time, but they are generally ignored.

The talk continues, but it's slowing down as the hour grows later...

Yes, I can do that.

Your unvote was not bold, and therefore not accepted. Please bold your votes if you wish them to count.

Dessimu already covered this pretty well, but we need to have objective facts about what people have said. When playing in Real Life, if people say something, they can't take it back. We need the same objectivity on the forum.
