Gotta love this game. Not even on Day One yet and already people are suspicious of each other and picking apart posts and motives.

Is there any life other than Mafia?

Ugh. See why I originally did not allow strategy on Night Zero? It made that Day go on _forever_.

Not a life I’d want to have for long.

Again, just to reiterate since I have time…NO RECRUITING ME, SCUM. I WILL SET YOUR FAVORITE STUFFED ANIMALS ON FIRE AND PUT SUGAR IN YOUR GAS TANKS.

</div>

I’m betting at least one person “talking” to the scum (about being recruited) is scum themselves.  
Because I know what I’d do if I were scum.

If I’m recruited, okay, although I REALLY don’t want to be. Really.

But if I started this game as Scum, I may have asked for a sub. I am thoroughly sick of being Scum.

And is there anyone other than me talking directly to the Scum about recruitment? Because if not, nice smudge.

Nope, there’s not. I’m just curious what Idle would do if he were the scum. _gets out popcorn_

My mistake. I distinctly remembered someone doing it earlier as well. I went back and looked.  
I was right, but it turns out [that was also you,](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12981697&postcount=179) **Drain Bead**.

So nevermind. Here I thought we had multiple people talking to scum about being recruited. But it’s just been you every time.

Of course it was also me. Hence my use of the word “reiterate” in my second post on the subject.

</div>

What’s your point? As I said, I distinctly remember it happening before…couldn’t tell you by how many people…just that it happened before. So despite your “reiterate”, I went back to check…and lo and behold, it was only you.

So, as I already said, my mistake. But by all means, if you want to vote for me based on that when game starts, have at it.

Wow. Night zero at 6 pages already. Awesome.

Just wanted to confirm that I got my PM. I am “not yet scum” but of course I would say that!

I think that editing is a dangerous thing. I know it was mentioned upthread, but I can see how it could be used to “fix” an “accidental slip” as a way to falsely implicate.

I just see a whole lot of scummy reasons to edit and really no reason not to simply NETA. I’m not going to say that I’ll automatically vote for an editor - but I will certrainly give them the hairy eyeball.

Well I did say I wanted to make a Top 10 - so maybe I’ll include that one as well 😉

Damn, I saw all of the pages and thought the Day had started without me, oh well.

Personally I’m not too concerned with editing. I know that people have been caught by misposting but i hate have an easy fix coding error say forgetting to bold my vote and having to wait a minute to post again to correct it. That being said I think that people who do edit deserve extra scrutiny.

I haven’t seen any discussion on it but how does the recruitment by the scum team affect the game. My initial guess is that the scum are either going to pick a player that they get along with or one who they think is the best player. All in all despite making the scum team better players I’m not sure how it will change things or how the balance will be shifted to town to make up for it any ideas before we get started?

Did you specifically state this because you’re picking a player that you don’t get along with who doesn’t play very well? :eek:
