Wah! I can't take being called dumb on the internet in a game based on logic and argumentative rhetoric! Woe is me!
It has nothing to do with whether or not people can take being called dumb by a stranger on the internet, what it has to do with the mentality of the person who can never refrain from making insults to people like that whether it's to gain a reaction or whatever. At the root of this, the game is supposed to be fun, and it's impossible for it to be fun when one person acts like they're better than everyone else and treats people the way that you do. It's also impossible to have a functioning game when people play with their egos instead of their brains. It just becomes ego bashing and that's not mafia.

It's kind of like on a playground. I suppose it makes you feel better to put others down, but it doesn't really do anything to make you better. It's a false sense of ego boosting, but in the end you just look like a jerk.

False. I've played in many ego-bashing mafia games that functioned just fine.

Seems to me that "people not taking Majiffy seriously" is pretty low on the list of things Majiffy has to worry about.

Also, you know what I so much love about this statement. If you're town, you probably actually righteously believe this too. But what's hilarious, is that at the same time that you are claiming someone is an idiot for thinking your are scum and wanting to lynch you, you are bullheadedly claiming that you *know* who the last scum is.

So, darling little Jiffy, if you are town and you think that it's idiocy for you to be lynched, you might actually want to read the game because you are so wrong it's not even funny.

If you're scum, continue acting scummy though.

I dont even understand a lot of Bert's play so far. Its just "sheep X", no "Sheep Y". X is scum, no Y is scum.

"Im sheeping Cait Sith" "No wei, Jiffy's right"

"SD is scum" "SD is a mislynch."

CONFUSING AS FUCK

I actually dont see CS scum. How is this?

BTW thanks for hammering us early. I wonder why no one gave Bert any shit for that. Maybe I was V/LA bert so I didnt have anything to say, because I didnt have a chance to.

GG. good luck town

Oh hey I said, I'd like to reread the game and get together my thoughts and talk to mala.

It'll take me a couple day before I can do that I said.

NOPE LET'S QUICKLYNCH LESS THAN 48 HOURS THE DAY BEFORE ENDGAME.

Yeah that's a fucking genius plan.

Now let's kiss majiffy's ass even though he's the one who pushed for this quicklynch. Oh and let's listen to him for who the last scum is.

Right now I can't tell if it's majiffy that's scum or if it's one of you riding on the coattails of his confirmation bias in which he's not even playing mafia. He's playing pull a name out of my ass and push that blindly.

All I do know is that if majiffy lives, town will lose. Take that to the bank. The only chance if they are town that we actually have a chance is if he actually listens to mara. Good luck with that happening.

Let's just hope SD is trolling and this game is actually done.

But, if it's not and they leave me alive, just quicklynch the fuck out of me because I'm not about to deal with this crap or try to figure out who it is when it's pointless.

Hopefully one of me or jiffy will die because that's the only way town has a chance here.

MARA - If you guys are town, and if there is a tomorrow, and if we are both alive tomorrow you need to knock some sense into your other head. If he refuses to actually read the game and accept someone else is scum, town is going to lose. There are four tomorrow, we need three votes to lynch. If he parks it on us, there is no way to actually get a scum lynch. Think about it Mara.

Dixon Hill crested the rise just as dawn broke. He couldn't remember the last day or so very well; his memory had been fuzzy ever since his collapse shortly after his heroic rescue by the dashing Max and Grit. As he topped the hill he saw a truly depressing sight: a small dog at the bottom of the hill, crushed and broken. A viewscreen was flickering next to the dog; Hill trudged down to investigate studiously avoiding looking at the mangled corpse, whose lips were pulled back and fixed in a hideous rictus grin. Hill picked up the small device to see the message, possibly the final message from the poor hound...

Image


Tears streamed from Hill's eyes; though the poor dog was dead, its last act before dying was to tell others not to mourn. It had lived its life in full.

FlipBert,
Vanilla Townie
, has died Night 4.

It is now Day 5.

With 4 alive, it takes 3 to lynch.
