(If one flips Scum, take a hard look at the other.)

Y'know, I almost addressed that in the post you quoted but decided it'd be better to stay on point.

Anyway, I figured I'd point that out for two reasons: first, the MLP game was my first mafia game so I've got more than a little empathy for people not knowing what the hell to do day 1. Hell, I'm still in that boat.

Second, with the speed these threads tend to go at, I'd rather end lines of logic (though calling it that is pretty damn kind) that I don't see going anywhere useful. Like, the way I see it: rpg plays with little confidence first game, rpg is town; rpg plays with more confidence his second game (as one would expect with more experience), and rpg flips scum; now in his third game he has yet more confidence apparantly, but people are trying to call this a correlation to his Scum Factor (tm) with logic that's pretty damn shaky.

Like, what's more likely, that rpg has this great meta-strategy of playing timid as town and outgoing as scum that just happens to line up with his role assignments thus far or that he simply is gaining confidence along with experience? The simple answer is the best answer.

I mean, look at me. I didn't contribute this much D1 last game, but this IS about what I was contributing at the end of last game.

Why exactly are so many people on P-Sleazy? Has he done anything yet, or is this just convenient bandwagoning for no reason, despite actual evidence towards a few people?

Just woke up. I'll get through the backlog later, but I will say that bard appears to have voted twice on that list. I consider that blatant favoritism by bookie.

I noticed the votes on P-Sleazy a little bit earlier today and mentioned it. They've been slowly accumulating by different people. Some say it's a joke vote. But that's a bunch of joke votes on one person.

Pretty much this, I've no idea of any one elses alignment, like I've mild suspicions but beyond that I'm not willing to throw accusations all over the place. It's a pretty big change not having even one person I know not to throw suspicion at. Any way I said before hand that FOS: list was mostly grasping at straws, I've not seen huge amounts in the way of scum tells, thinking about it more throughly the whole confidence thing is kind of stupid any way because as you play a game more times you naturally end up with at least a little more confidence.

That said Karesh semi outing himself as a power role if thats what he did struck me as absurd and my snap reaction was to go "No way a townie would do that D1" So yea Karesh pings up lightly to moderately on my 'scumdar'

I'm also trying not to post in short drabbles, I'm pretty sure every one hated that last game and I did as well so this is just a continuation of me moving away from that like I did in the previous game when Fenris legitimately bitched at me.

So with that in mind FOS list, again this is mostly tenuous.

FOS:Karesh (I don't believe a town power would be stupid enough to out them selves d1)
FOS:Aldurin (telling PO what to do)

Not sure I agree with the inexplicable bandwagoning of P-Sleazy either. He hasn't done much yet and still somehow has 3 votes. Granted they could just be joke votes that have been left on, but one of them is from Karesh, who's already acting odd.

Vote: Karesh

For now anyway.

On the subject of RPG, I think he's just naturally argumentative (I don't mean that in a bad way either), at least from what I've seen before. Almost every time I can remember seeing him posting last game he was in a massive counter argument with somebody, and he seems to be again this time. Granted that could be because he's scum again, or he could just be the kind of person who likes to have a hefty debate. I'm inclined to give him more time before voting him, he's pretty active and if he slips up we'll see it.

It also occurs to me that Sif is also posting differently this time. Much less active, much more coherent and large posts. He did start going down this road towards the end of last game though so it could just be an improvement of his posting style. If he suddenly drops in activity throughout the game then alarm bells will start ringing for me.

Correction: favoritism and hypocrisy.

Did I ever unvote IC?

Well, anyway:
##Unvote
##Vote: Geminex

Hey Gem, what's up? You're up pretty late, eh? Well, please do start acting more like the Gem in MLP Mafia, that Gem was awesome and I miss him.

[Geminex]

First, it's 10 AM.
Second, I just had a driving test. Passed, yay.

Third, the Gem you knew started Law School two weeks ago and is now cramming his head with Criminal law definitions. I am whatever bits of his brain he can spare to work on this stuff. Still, fine. Gimme a sec.

Though I've gotta say, the vote seems a bit much.

You started law school?
Holy shit how the hell did I not know that
##Unvote

...Those of us suffering through this hellhole gotta stick together bro.
(Also if you're scum and totally lying about law school congratulations for deciphering Snake's hidden weakness, namely that he refuses on principle to D1 lynch fellow law school students, particularly those taking a Criminal Law course the same semester that he's taking Advanced Crim. Snake feels your pain, sir.)
