You've never been in a game with me if I'm the sam you're referring to. I also don't typically lurk.

[samantha97]

ok i got through page 10 but I don't want to read anymore

people posting updates on what page(s) they have read is the most suspicious thing to me

it clogs threads with incomplete/useless information and creates an illusion of productivity

[samantha97]

wouldn't the third mason not claiming add risk of a cop (if one exists) wasting their ability? obviously it would thin the pool for mafia to choose from as well, but I don't think that's a bigger issue

Take a wild guess. Who do you think it is? You have ONE shot at it.

so do you not wanna answer that question or?

[samantha97]

What was the question? I saw you suggesting the 3rd should Mason out, and I said you should guess them. Are you asking me to out my Mason buddy against their own will?

the question was:

wouldn't the third mason not claiming add risk of a cop (if one exists) wasting their ability?

do you agree/disagree? obviously because I think that it would risk wasting a night of a cop ability I do think they should claim though, yes

[samantha97]

The odds of that happenening are 1 in / 23 -2 (outed "3p masons") -1 (cop won't check themselves).

it's less than that because of the lynch too, and cops wouldn't operate in a vacuum where each person has an equal chance of being investigated

it also leaves room for an errant vigilante if there is one of those as well

[samantha97]

I think it's much more pro-town on D1 to find a slot that seems scummy, run them up, get their flip and then proceed from there on D2 with the added benefit of being able to start looking at VCA and being able to use NKA

I don't think it's possible to lynch mafia d1 in a game this size unless most of them are afk

[samantha97]

VOTE: Ban Hydras

[samantha97]

p.s. I won't be removing my vote and will continuously vote for them until they are lynched or nightkilled (or I am)

[samantha97]

If it's fake, the three of them will never be nightkilled and nightkills will show casting doubt on their claim. It's best to townbin for today.
I got pedited but consider BH's townread going down for that pedit.

I like the take in the first half of this. Why was the PEdit not towny?

An essay on the history of lynching is pure spam, iioa and utterly useless.

And yet people like Samantha are still using it so apparently I fucking do need to post it.

100% of your posts aren't about the game

[samantha97]

[quote="In post 1655If you can't make the basic fucking logical leap that someone who wrote two thousand words about why he finds a word deeply uncomfortable doesn't think people should use the fucking word then you should probably quit mafia[/quote]
yes this person was totally sincere in their effort to make everyone be "nice"

meanwhile still waiting for you to post about the game

[samantha97]

I should have really hit preview there

[samantha97]

k just replace me if you're going to comment on whether a post is good or not as a moderator

[samantha97]

Is it AI for me to tell someone not to sexually harass another user? Honestly can't believe I'm having this discussion outside newbie forums

the post the moderator commented on was in question and spurred 1 or more votes, depending on how you interpret it

if ban hydras was mafia and was posting that to disrupt town, he never would have commented on it

the fact that this is even a discussion is itself evidence of interference, even if you don't subscribe to the above

they're 100% confirmed town and the game has lost its integrity

last thing I'm posting here

[samantha97]

echoing that banhydras was modconfirmed town

adding a rule 90~ pages in specifically to oust (or at least make them very uncomfortable) specific players was messed up, feel bad for echovision and would have replaced out there anyway too; that's something that should be known at signup

Titus' day 1 VCA was impressive

Mastina's reads were really good

I liked superbowl/norwee/nero's sticktuitiveness

gj everyone

To accuse a player who’s trying to stop the use of what can be hateful or offensive language of simply trying to gain an in-game advantage is in my opinion not okay. This is the same mindset that causes you to think schadd is “mod-confirming” someone as town for reinforcing that harmful language is not okay - you’re not realizing that some things are larger than and outside the scope of gameplay. Same for those who claimed the replaces were scum for replacing (false) - it’s just a continuation of that mindset.

Just my 2 cents, but I really think it’s poor form to drag someone’s good-faith request to not say hurtful things into gameplay context.

1. This is mafia, you don't know what is for in-game advantage or not. The fact that they posted it inside a mafia thread, instead of expressing something to the moderator privately, leaves the door wide open for it to have been part of their posting strategy. Especially because they never once posted about the game itself.

2. The language is objectively unharmful and inoffensive. It's been used countless times and no one here is truly offended by it. The only harm done was by the people pretending to be offended by it, as that had a casualty (EchoVision).

3. None of that even matters, because it should have been a policy before the game started, not mid-game.
