ALSO, I SEEM TO HAVE MISSED THE PART IN WHICH RENA WAS DEEMED TOWN. MAY I SEE IT?
ONLY SCUM FEEL THE NEED TO EXPLAIN WHY THEY ARE TOWN, OR NOT SCUM.
ALSO, YOU SEEM TO HAVE MISSED THE PART WHERE CAPS LOCK PEOPLE DON'T USE FULL PARAGRAPHS. THIS IS A SCUMTELL.
THis is the most pathetic, overused, argument I have ever heard. No one sane joins a game, gets accused, and once accused says something like "I am not scum, simple as that" and continues playing. Everyone will defend themselves. Its natural. its human. We play to have fun, no to die in one game so we can join another. Obviously everyone wants to survive.

I remember the game. Bondoox right? I was in the kingmaker situation and he said he forgot his action one night. What happened? Last I checked he died because of it, which explains why I was cautious. If one person gets lynched because he forgets his action and now I forget, what do you think I believe the consensus will be?

actually you hit the nail on the head. It catches me seemingly every single time, REgardless of faction. As such I find it is a rather pointless and baseless argument.

Mongoose is town, guys. This is ShadoWolf all over again. Seriously, the case on him is filled with almost as many false scum-tells as Shado's was. How about we attack scum now? Namely LL, Robo, and Mafuyu. Scott would be on that list, but seeing as even if Scott is scum he's going to vig his buddy for us soon he can live for now.

P.S. My other head FoS'd Mongoose, I don't agree with it at all.

You're so deluded.
You don't see Mongooses play as scummy?
You instead decide to equate bad play with town play.
Essentially what you have stated is that if a player plays like a VI, they are town. This is an incorrect assumption on your part, and the main reason why you are deluded.
Want to try explaining why Mongoose is town again? Or would you prefer to continue down this road of "Mongoose's play is SO bad, he MUST be town"?

Who were the claimed Millers again btw, and did we ever determine if they should give us their PDs for the Miller times for the next couple of time frames?
On Mongoose, I am of the opinion that he might be town. We've gutted one scum, we know who another is. It is almost assuredly that scum are trying to lay as low as possible at this point and bandwagon rather than look VI or stick his neck out and talk a lot. I could be wrong, but I just don't think that would be the proper play. My gut tells me we should be concentrating on Mafuyu, Rena, and Robocopter, but more than likely someone who is skating through the game is scum as well.

Nice ad hominem in the first line.
I never said anything along the lines of "he's playing bad so he must be town." Equating bad play to towniness or scuminess is a terrible idea. Good job misrepresenting me and putting words in my mouth though, AGAIN. I said he's being accused on false scum-tells and he's not scum. Innocent until proven guilty, essentially. That is why I don't have to
explain
why he's town. I should never have to explain why anyone is town, only the reverse. Once I see a legitimate scum-tell (feel free to try to point one out) then I'll agree that he's scummy. Again, I HAVE NOT SAID ANYTHING ALONG THE LINES OF BAD PLAY OR VI PLAYERS MUST BE TOWN. (Robo for example plays terribly and is scum).

Not that your opinion really matters, scum, just stop putting words in my mouth so people who don't read the whole thread won't think I actually said that shit.

Dude, we've all agreed that Mongooses play is horrid.
So tell me, OTHER than the fact that his play is horrible, what is the town tell you see in him?
As for legit scum tells, how about this one: Real town don't need to explain why they are town. They just hunt scums, and let their play talk for them. Mongoose was WAY too worried about having people "think he is scum".

Also, throw as many FoS's as you want on me. You've provided 0 content as to why I'm scum. All you've done is state "I think LL is scum". How about a case man? Because at the moment you're just throwing names out there with limited reasoning, just so you can say you are scum hunting.

@THB: Calling you "deluded" is not ad hominem. It's an observation that has no implication on character. It's practically synonymous with saying "you're so wrong," which is also not ad hom.

I don't see any town-tells, per say. Did you even read my post? I said that innocent until proven guilty is the (at least my) main mafia method. I don't see any scum-tells, and that's good enough for me.
----------------
As for scum-tells on you. Seriously? You're claiming I have nothing on you? How about you read my ISO where we had that little back and forth D1. Let's start with the fact that every time I post you misrepresent my words. There is NO town motivation whatsoever to twist the meaning of my posts. In fact, that is the largest scum-tell in all of mafia. I cannot see any town actually quoting my post and telling me what I meant. i.e. quoting me and saying that I said "bad players = town." Not only was it completely wrong, but the only reason to ever summarize what someone is saying (especially incorrectly) is to try to twist it into a scum-tell.
~Fugi
P.S. I'd be voting you if I thought you could be lynched, hence the FoSes instead.
P-Edit: @Exe - Calling someone deluded is an insult to their character and has vastly different implications than just saying they are wrong and I will stand by that. Deluded refers to a person's entire thought process while saying they are wrong simply refers to a single thought, therefore rendering "deluded" as an attack on the person and "wrong" as an attack on their words.

Note that "deluded" doesn't mean I think you're stupid. You're clearly not. It means you're fucking wrong. You are deluded about what this current series of events implies. Not overall.

@THB: I implore you to check
http://i.m-w.com/dictionary/deluded
Deluded does not have anything to do with your overall thinking abilities. If he had said "THB is such a deluded person," that would be another story. However, he said "you are deluded" as in "you are misled" or "you are wrong."
Stop trying to turn a legitimate statement into Ad Hom.
Oh and for the record, regardless of the definition of "deluded," it wasn't an ad hominem argument. LL in no way suggested that your argument was wrong due to a character flaw, which would be what an ad hominem argument is.

It really depends on the context you take it in. I understand what she meant and what context you read, but with a statement as vague as "you're so deluded" it can easily be received as ad hom.

If I interpret something wrong, it's your job to tell me what you really meant. (Just like how I showed you what I meant about Deluded).

! I haven't decided whether I'll stay on this account for iso-happy purposes or if I'll leave this account because it reminds me of how much it annoys me that he flaked! He never actually posted anything useful when he was here though, but I liked the moral support since I don't actually like playing in large games.
Can those of you not voting Robo explain to me what he has done that makes him town? Muuuch appreciated.
