Titus seems to think DGB is scum, but the Mafia wiki seems to indicate 'Lazy' is a Town-only modifier.

[Gamma Emerald]

Am I supposed to be moved here, Goofball?

Because one of us has a chain of night actions that actually makes sense for my role and alignment, whereas you... are a Goofball.

And here I've seen zero defense for Hayker because it's fucking indefensible. So can we stop pointing fingers at one another and eliminate scum?

You AND Luca need to specify why you think DGB’s night actions make no sense. I think you’re perspective slipping.

[Gamma Emerald]

Okay I tried to explain my point and I just realized I am grasping at straws
Fucking hell.

[chkflip]

I was only really saying that you could ISO me and see (at least at the start of D2 with Titus and calling Mom vanilla before they claimed it, most notably) whereas I haven't seen any indicators similar with Goofball. How is that perspective slipping? What even is that to you, actually?

They make no sense from my perspective because I TR all four of them, and for me the chances of blocking a Town PR would have been far greater than that of blocking a scum action, especially with the earlier choices. I can kind of understand why Goofball targeted Momrangal I guess, but I think it was a low-percentage play.

That said, I believe Goofball is Town based on their general play, as well as the fact that 'lazy' appears to be a Town-only modifier, based on the wiki.

Hmm Ok, scratch that then.

Happy birthday, moderator. <3

Thanks

[Luca Blight]

I'm encouraged by the fact that the Titus wagon is likely all-town atm. Only one I'm not sure 100% of is Andres, and he's most likely Town if Titus is scum.

I feel like I just want to flip this and work out the rest Tomorrow, tbh.

[Luca Blight]

I've become a lot less certain of my reads. The only (non-conf) read I'm still sure of is that Norwegian is Town.

[chkflip]

This game is so demotivating when scum are clearly running the show here. At least if I get limmed, I can laugh from dead chat.

I feel ya (demotivation and laughter). Vote Hayker?

[NorwegianboyEE]

Vaxkiller i see you online periodically. Can you help me understand what you’re up to.

I work in IT. It's the busy time ATM, but I still have a mafiascum tab up most of the day. I will sometimes check in and read a little. My posting style (times that I post) has changed due to this busy time (before I would just post all day during work).

Why did you ask this question?

Because you haven’t answered why you said we should vote Momrangal and that kind of secrecy seems really unnecesarry to me right now.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Not even saying you’re scum. Just wondering why.

[NorwegianboyEE]

What I find interesting though, is that more than just DBG had expressed a scum read on that slot but instead, you go for some kinda weird AtE discredit pocket atempt towards their slot and making it seem like them reading you as scum here is them being old and senile

Lol this post is hilariously worded.

[NorwegianboyEE]

God you are so bad at this game as scum.

[NorwegianboyEE]

In fact you both are.
Titus for that pathetic AtE. And Chkflip for that blatant push on us to lim the next LHF slot.

[chkflip]

No need to be unpleasant.

compete (v.)

1610s, " to enter or be put in rivalry with," from French

compéter

"be in rivalry with" (14c.), or directly from Late Latin

competere

"strive in common, strive after something in company with or together," in classical Latin "to meet or come together; agree or coincide; to be qualified," from

com

"with, together" (see

com-

) +

petere

"to strive, seek, fall upon, rush at, attack" (from PIE root

*pet-

"to rush, to fly").

According to OED, rare 17c., revived from late 18c. in sense "to strive (alongside another) for the attainment of something" and regarded early 19c. in Britain as a Scottish or American word. Market sense is from 1840s (perhaps a back-formation from

competition

); athletics sense attested by 1857. Intransitive use is by 1974. Related:

Competed; competing

At this point, Hayker wasn't low hanging fruit. Nero was. Then molla. Then Plus. Now unfortunately I made the mistake of following the wrong train (while avoiding what I still believe to be another town flip) and should be held accountable. As should Titus. It isn't that I disbelieve the scrutiny to be fair or well founded, but it's extraordinarily bothersome when someone becomes insulting without realizing they're being a complete and total fucking hypocrite. You were one of the biggest proponents to eliminating Hayker but after really only two and a half game day's time (NM sucking all information and worth out of two phases merely by proximity) now he's "low hanging fruit" and I'm "so bad" for pushing it?

I'm gonna step away for the night, but sincerely and earnestly.

Fuck you.

[NorwegianboyEE]

He is LHF because Titus is the actual scum. And if you aren't pushing Titus you are either scum or bad.

[NorwegianboyEE]

Nothing personal Chkflip, but after Plus yesterday i'm not going to sit on my ass and watch suspect slots i don't trust push another elimination again.

She's either scum here, or someone who's going to lose eylo for us sooo

Chekflip is the scum rolecop and we need to yeet it.

Good point.

[DrippingGoofball]

I'd rather yeet chkflip than Titus because I believe he's the rolecop.

There's a remote possibility that Titus is just awful.

Can you please elaborate why chkflip is scum rolecop and not Titus?

You're making me think, if they are scum together, Titus might be the rolecop, and chklip is pretending to be the rolecop.

I know he's saying is he is a vanilla cop, but as you know a vanilla cop is a subset of a rolecop in a Venn diagram. It's easy to be a rolecop and fake being a vanilla cop.
