Since you’re here and reading. Could you perhaps tell us your mafia-history?  
How many games and what alignment in those games?

If you do I’ll be happy to make a nice little wiki-page for you after this game (and that offer goes for the rest of you as well. I’m a wiki-addict).

I can’t find the post from Hal Briston saying he don’t have the book. But as far as I can see we all said it (or ended up dead at some point).

So the book is missing and I’m starting to believe it must have been Scum that stole it from NAF.  
I’m not sure too much discussion on the powers in the book is such a good thing. If scum have it they’ll also try and work out what it does. So we could be providing them with clues that could help them in that process.

In the interest of accuracy, I was not Scum in Random Mafia, but it was the one game I found where Mahaloth and I were both playing and he was Scum. I was Town and built a case against him in that game.

I haven’t taken the time to look through Mahaloth’s behavior in Crimson Glyph. I was also Town in that game, but don’t recall it very well.

Mahaloth did moderate LotR, but I think he was referring to Lost.

What is this Wiki of which you speak?

I’m at the point where I can’t remember what games I have been in. All I know is that I was the Scum Roleblocker in approximately 14 straight games at Idle’s board.

I wish I remembered this kind of thing. I don’t know how I would even begin putting that history together at this point.

Well that’s a bit misleading now isn’t it? Do you realize that most people aren’t going to bother clicking the link to my post and merely take you at your word?

Before the line you quoted, I rebutted Telcontar’s reasoning for voting for NAF. Now I know it’s not alot of analysis, but there is actual substance there when you insinuate that there’s not.

I’m not trying to smudge you either, **Stanislaus**. I know it’s alot of work to go back and research all the vote history, it’s easy to overlook these things.

FWIW, my post was in response to this one:

> [@Telcontar](#):

> NAF: I don’t consider it to have been obvious that Oy was either a power role or scum. I, and drainbead apparently, thought it was still possible that she was vanilla. I’d be interested in your answers to drain’s question as well.
> 
> As far as I can tell, the consistent daytime scum agenda is to not die. Ideally to kill town, but mostly not to die. So, apart from what we’re all doing, trying to lynch someone who is not-us, the only factor that distinguishes town from scum is that town is trying to be picky about who they kill, whereas scum is indiscriminant. Hence smudging as a scum tell etc. I’m suspicious of you because you were fishing, pretty blatantly, in a case where it was more likely to hurt town than scum. You claim that “scum do not need to fish”. i think you’re wrong, and that there’s a meaningful probability that you’re scum.

I was scum in Lost, which is likely highly salient to Mahaloth because he was moderating and I pulled an unlikely victory without it looking hard; I don’t think I had more than one vote on me for the last several Days. I was town in Mahaloth’s werewolf game. Hmm. I died really early in a couple of games, so I don’t remember exactly what was going on. Town in LOTR. I think town in crimson glyph. Maybe one more?

Since I’m soon to shuck my mortal coil:  
We were actually really glad that Idle investigated me last night; we were really afraid that he’d use his power to confirm town. The main weakness of his role over that of a normal cop is that he might die before reporting, and given that he was outted he had the option of continuous reporting. Rather convenient that he should off himself so soon. It’s funny: I really did think he was acting suspiciously and was likely a third party.

Also, re the book…well, that would be telling. 😉

You know, you’re right. I initially read your first para as a general comment, but of course it was in response to Telcontar. Sorry about that.

But \*\*Idle \*\*didn’t really confirm town. All he did was confirm non-Deadites and as his PM states, not all town’s enemies are Deadites. I know that he can only find one Deadite but it’s a much more accurate result than if he had not.

Yeah, sorry about that. It’s been a tough few days for me, and spare hours to read/analyse/post have been in short supply. I made the beginnings of a case on Suburban last weekend because I knew time would be limited during the week, but the morning’s revelations threw everything out and I’ve yet to catch up properly.

I’ll admit it was a bad move to say Telcontar’s behavior reminds me of behavior I’ve seen before and then not be able to back it up with evidence.

However, that was not my entire case. I also agreed with everything NAF had said about Telcontar in the below post:
