When is a Vig not a Vig?
When it has more hot air than a balloon.
think townies, think.
It’s an open setup. The only facts that certain folks will know and others will not involves who is Scum and who is not, and those facts exist in any game.
**As a Reminder. **
But, At least I get to use my GPS I Got this year. 
I will be able to look in on the game and comment if needed. It will again be from my Ipod which, I still can’t figure out why it has periods after my words.
I should be back to my regular computer late Sunday.

Merry Christmas everyone. Christmas has been a-transpiring here, I’ll try and get caught up and get my vote down tomorrow.
/OOG
Anyone else get the “Spies 7” spam?
Why am I the lucky one?
Heh. Then again, maybe I should join it, make them wish they hadn’t invited me.
Then again, again, I see the user is already banned… So go figure.
/OOG
Yeah, I got it as well, Meeko. I assume everyone in the game got it.
He runs a good game, though, or so I’ve heard. 'Tsa shame he advertised through PMs.
/OOG
The thing that gets me, is that he was going to have votes in a live chat.
Who would could arrange, and guarantee players could vote then / there?
As a statement of fact, and not to slight this game, at least that conspiracy game would not be during the holidays.
/OOG
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]
definitely very involved but well run and much fun from what I’ve heard. It takes more of a commitment than these games, I think
I got that, too, but didn’t read the post all that carefully once I saw he’d been banned…that’s weird, the live chat thing. Has that ever happened before, in a mafia game? Would seem really hard to do, to have everyone around.
@ 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’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.
{OOG, not playing anyway}
It’d be interesting for us Dopers to do an in-person Mafiascum game some time.
{/OOG}
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):
And this one (bleached):
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.
Any news on MHaye?
He’s in hiding.
On a more serious note, I’ve been rereading the other games I’m in right now. Having cleared my head over there, I think it’s time to reread here again, and think about voting.
