Sure why not. For the humor.

Marashu, if you remembered this coming up in Newbie 2002, why did you need me to explain it again?
It's more that you were showing that you were keeping the votes evenly distributed by moving your vote. I was more interested at the time in why you were moving your vote around in the first place, and you addressed that in your reply. I asked your preference in exactly because I remembered Lucky doing that.
In post 244, Tuxedo Mask wrote: Because I am unsure of other's reputation, but Drew's is to be scum read. So the current state is an abnormality, I am trying to identify why. Is the abnormality in their play, or in how other's treat them? Is that abnormality nefarious?
I think I see. You're basically saying that, if Drew hasn't changed, then it could be that mafia is not only not framing him but is actively pushing him as town? From the fact that you are townreading Drew, does this mean you think that they are trying to pocket him?
In post 248, Tuxedo Mask wrote: Nothing strong so far, which doesn't feel great. I think I'm getting townie pings from Votato, Drew, Deimos and Midari. Those are the only things strong enough to mention.
Could you explain the townping on Midari?
This was your wagon at its peak (correct me if I'm wrong), so I'll pose this question to the group is scum on this wagon. I think that's likely. If so, who and how many? My gut says just one, between Marshu and Word. That or the wagon looked to carry it's self well enough, and scum wanted to avoid it.
I think it's very likely that scum was on the Midari wagon and that scum is on the Pi wagon. Unless the scumteam is completely in {piisirattional,votato,brassherald,Worcestershire} scum was on at least one of those wagons.
Looking at the Pi wagon, I'm not liking the way cj and BM joined the wagon.

My problem with your vote on pi is that you would have basically seen his entire ISO minus his RVS vote in your catch-up between 179 and 223. Without addressing any of pi's recent posts, it felt like you were hopping on the wagon to help it build momentum. Pi is null for me, so that conviction of pi's alignment paired with a seeming lack of critical thought about pi is what made me suspect.

My problem with you playing with votato before is more in relation to you wanting to flashlynch votato. He tends to be lynchbait, from what I've seen. Trying to push him while V/LA when you know how he plays seems suspect.

Doesn't seem like you've thought the votato stuff through! I could buy that you might think that scum-BM would see votato as an easy mislynch, and want to pursue that.
But do you really think that my strategy for doing that would be to openly suggest
wagonning him while he is V/LA
, without giving any reasons, or even voting him myself? It's completely implausible that BM-scum actually thinks he can achieve a mislynch with that approach. Additionally, if you're suggesting I think votato's lynchbait, why would I need to wait until he's V/LA? Surely the opposite is true. Moreover, I don't even agree with your characterisation of him, so that's your opinion, not mine.

On pi, I may not fully understand your point here. He has only posted like 4 times? It's not a difficult ISO to read. I'm not sure why hopping on a wagon to help it build momentum is necessarily scummy. I'm not clear why you preferred to assume I don't have any critical thought about Pi to substantiate my vote, and rather than ask me why I voted for him, simply start shading me over it.
Are you afraid of engaging in direct dialogue with me?


If Pi is null for you, you obviously haven't graduated from the BM-school of scumhunting.

Marashu's ISO is horrible. Lots of examples of going out of his way to be helpful, without scumhunting. I remember when I was a newbie, I had a similar approach as scum - it bolsters the post count and makes it seem like you're contributing actively when you aren't having to really commit to anything. And a real lack of self-awareness in his remarks to Midari in post 328, accusing Midari of "looking for reasons to suspect me" when his whole post strikes a similar tone.

In post 295, votato wrote:deimos, are you enjoying this game so far? give details
I was quite unsatisfied with the lack of engagement from other players. I'm glad to see that there's at least about two pages of content since yesterday.

I'm having marginally less fun playing mafia in general in the last few days, mainly because I'm the kind of person who obsesses about one thing at a time at the expense of all other commitments and right now I'm studying contemporary metaethics.

If you are hoping to glean AI content from this post I'm sorry to disappoint you because I can tell that the reason you're asking me this is because I mentioned last game that I don't like playing scum. And I can confirm for you that I am enjoying this game more than I would be as scum, that's for sure.
