Just checking back in with this game, since I’m back. [oog] I’ve been spammed by him on this site and another where I play mafia. I went and looked at the boards, and it seemed like a very involved game.[/oog] ---

@ **ToeJam** Thanks, I interpreted your initial post differently but your intent is clearer now. @ **storyteller0910** I hope you managed to survive the mall experience and can post before the end of the Day : ) > [@Meeko](#): > > I can’t be the only one wishing that both these guys would finish and or elaborate on these statements, can I? @ **Meeko** I’m with you re: **Peeker** ’s request to lynch **MHaye**. I think I’m missing a step between the first vote and the request to the rest of Town to lynch him. **Peeker** ’s initial vote was a gut feeling but after **MHaye** ’s response, he seemed quite convinced that **MHaye** should be our lynch target toDay. I’m not sure what **Peeker** saw in the response that convinced him of **MHaye** ’s scumminess. ---

I don’t think the case against Tom is very strong unless Freudian is scum and he had second thoughts about bussing her. He had plenty of company on the Freudian bandwagon when he switched to Diggit, so wouldn’t have been particularly exposed. I think Rin (and therefore Meeko) is more likely to be town than scum. Her case on Amrussell was poor, but it seemed more likely to be townie aggression to me. I’ve seen her play in a similar way in a previous game as town. I notice Cookies has just placed herself in a tie for the vote lead, which would be a strange move for scum to make. Pretty soon we are going to have to start lynching inactive players, the mod has stated he won’t be taking any more action, but I’d like to them a chance to participate now Christmas is over. **Vote Freudian Slit** I’m not really sure what to make of Freudian’s play, but I don’t see it as helping town. Despite posting quite a bit she has given us little real content, and I’m intrigued by the rush of votes away from her to Diggit. ---

On the idle mafia game he’s modding, story just posted that he’s feeling quite sick, so I wouldn’t expect a lot of posting here from him. ---

@ **Alka** I may be going through a “dumb” period after all the holiday festivities but isn’t there an inconsistency between this statement (snipped): > [@Alka\_Seltzer](#): > > I don’t think the case against Tom is very strong unless Freudian is scum and he had second thoughts about bussing her. And this one (bleached): > [@Alka\_Seltzer](#): > > Vote Freudian Slit If you vote **Freudian** and want her to be lynched, surely you think she is scum? And if so, isn’t the case against **Tom** therefore very strong - at least in your mind? ---

Not to answer for **Alka Seltzer** , but in my mind we need that data point of **Freudian** ’s alignment answered before we talk about cases against people based on what they did regarding her. ---
