Newbie 1515: Old-Timey Mafia [GAME OVER]

[Jake from State Farm]

and 222 highlights my confusion. I genuinely have no idea why you are voting for me, because as I said your initial vote had no reasons attached?

I call bs since I gave reasons in post 219

[BoroPhil]

ok, so I'm not scum hunting.

but I am - I'm hunting you.

but apparently that isn't allowed?

So, I asked for scum hunting lessons.

You said I'm not interested?

But I said I was.

So, can I have these lessons please? I want to improve Jake. I want you to help me improve.

You say my reasons are shit. Help me develop good reasons.

I want to be more like you.

[BoroPhil]

I'm not interested in convincing you, I see you are scum. I've seen it all before, scum have an entrenched position and don't like budging from it. Changing reads is risky and takes effort. I'm sure it will be clear to the others.

Regardless - I am scum hunting - I'm hunting

you

- so whether you like it or not, it is scum hunting. So your position is totally false.

quoted for truth, as they say

[BoroPhil]

is anyone else in this game?

You weren't scum hunting. What you are doing now is too late for me to change my mind, and considering your reasons for me are terrible, i don't think you are doing a good job at scum hunting.

I don't appreciate your condescending tone in the rest of your post. I am not going to teach you how to scum hunt, go start a thread in mafia discussion if you want to learn how to play better. Since I realize this is just you basically BS'ing and you aren't serious i'm going to keep ignoring your requests for me to teach you.

Jake, Jake, Jake.

I am scum hunting. I'm hunting you. Do you have difficulties understanding english?

I don't want you to change my mind. I know you are scum, you are stuck in an entrenched position and you won't move your vote. This isn't for your benefit - it's for the other players.

My reason are terrrible? Yours are basically 'he isn't scum hunting' - which is false. I am. I am hunting you.

If you were town, you would be willing to help someone if you genuinely thought I needed help scum hunting (you don't of course, you just don't like me hunting you). This is a beginners game after all, why wouldn't you help me? If not for me, why not give some tips to everyone else.

SCUM

[BoroPhil]

first two paragraphs there are obviously yours. clearly I need quoting lessons as well as scum hunting ones.

[Jake from State Farm]

i'm not scum though, you probably are. I'm not going to continue this back and forth as it's not productive. I'm not changing my vote

have a nice life bro

[BoroPhil]

I think it's been very productive.

[BoroPhil]

and I want every player in the game who isn't voting for Jake to tell me exactly why not.

[TheGottemer]

hey guys
my internet has been unreliable lately.
Excuses aside, I am going to update my scum read list.

[TheGottemer]

oops accidentally prematurely posted.
OK so I think (not in any order):
Boonskiies because he said he'd catch up and never did.
Borophil because well... I read the last few pages and...
Jake or Thesp but not both, because of the rampant accusations of lying. (Then again, it could all be a massive act and they are just trying to make sure we dob't suspect both of them.)
Leaving my vote where it is.

[TheGottemer]

I should have used the past tense when I mentioned the argument between Jake and Thesp.
So yeah.

[TheGottemer]

And also of the list, Boonskiees is the least scummy, just because I haven't given him all the time in the world yet. The longer he waits the more scummy he looks.

[Thesp]

I'm really not keen on Flames682. If he was still around, at this moment he'd be my scond choice for a lynch.

Why? He barely posted anything.
What is your opinion of TheGottemer?

Flames682 is still some residual scumminess from this:

As to the question for me: I'm a bit confused by this gamestate. There's plenty actually happening right now, and there are lots of people posting but simultaneously checking out. The TheGottemer/Flames682 votes are the ones that interest me the most. Both post votes on me with no reason stated, and immediately post V/LA "until further notice". I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it. I doubt scum would act together like this. TheGottemer comes off as genuinely confused/lazy townie here, and Flames682 as riding his coattails.

It's mitigated somewhat by the fact that Flames682 seems to have actually abandoned the game, but I'm still uncomfortable with it. I continue to think TheGottemer is likely to be town.

I don't feel like I've learned anything over the last 2 pages.

We desperately need our replacements in soon

- missing those two slots (along with Boonskiies contentless posting) is actively hurting this game.

[Jake from State Farm]

I agree and I sent maestro a pm asking for updates. This game needs fresh blood.

[Jake from State Farm]

Thanks.

[Cheery Dog]

and I want every player in the game who isn't voting for Jake to tell me exactly why not.

Because there's no reason to vote him yet. While I'd probably go him over Thesp if those were the only wagon options, but they're not and I don't fancy either of them being lynched today.
I still think Boonskiies is the most useful lynch and by vote will remain there until I personally think otherwise.

[Jake from State Farm]

Why Boonskies? Why isn't boro on your radar?

[Cheery Dog]

Why Boonskies? Why isn't boro on your radar?

Who said he wasn't?
I just stated who I believe the most useful lynch is out of current options.

[Jake from State Farm]

ok but why boonskies

[Thesp]

Still here, still eagerly awaiting replacements. I'd also be curious to know why Boonskiies is a more useful lynch than any of the other options.

[Jake from State Farm]

I have my own opinions but I want to wait to see what cheery says

[Brian Skies]

I know it hasn't been announced yet, but I have a role PM so I'm posting. I replaced Flames.

Catching up in a bit.
