Lord of the Rings Mafia

Totally missed that the first time around, so it makes me feel marginally better. Thanks, Pleo.

ed you are being deliberately obtuse and you know it. you know how to yank my chain and this is how you fracking do it.

a fucking double return is in the same section? jeebus dude. isn’t that the fucking definition of a new section?

and to gadarene. let the players play as they see fit. if they don’t want to talk, they won’t. if they feel it advances their cause then let 'em go.

Odds are their cause is my cause, though, which I guess brings us back around to the whole “what constitutes anti-town behavior?” question.

The only information we each have is our own role PM. We don’t even have a sample or vanilla role PM to compare to. So it makes sense that we discuss this. While it might not lead us to finding scum, we have no reason to believe that it won’t.

For example, I have no idea what a vanilla role PM looks like. From ed’s comments, I now know he is either not vanilla town or vanilla town have a “Powers” section. Is that useful? I don’t know, but it’s more than I knew beforehand.

I’d call that a new paragraph.

<snipped>

of fucking wonderful now we get to have a discussion about is a paragraph a new section or vice versa? or are they the same?

all english teachers please raise your hands and take center stage.

and when ed raises his hand i am hitting it with a ruler.

If you didn’t want to discuss that, why did you attack ed about it?

<snipped>

this is a very interesting observation.

how do you know that ed is just potentially full of shit?

i know you have claimed town power so that your sections might not look the same as the rest of the folks. but how do you make that leap? or do you know something about ed that you might want to share with the rest of us?

or is it something even more ominous?

mod observation: it really is time to kick this fucker off

I didn’t play in Colorless so it isn’t enough for me. What happened?

This might not be ed’s take but it’s mine:

Drain Bead and mental guy had some very scummy comments near the end of the game, regarding how it was astonishing that storyteller could be alive and not scum so far along in the game. However, they were both exonerated because they had some some protown moments too. IOW, You can’t simply sum up the actions of a player. Ask yourself this question, if a player does 9 pro town things and 1 pro scum thing is that player more likely to be town or scum?

Also, peeker was the scum mvp in that game due to the fact that he vigged an investigated townie over shooting in the uninvestigated pool, based on a hunch.

NETA: [fluff] colorless still chafes my ass because I had solid cases on two scum players and town decided to lynch me because scum decided not to roleblock.[/fluff]

I don’t teach English.

I teach special education.

{insert your own joke here]

how the fuck was my question an attack?

That looks like an attack to me, but your posts are typically on the edge of incomprehensibility to me, so maybe I’m misreading you.

Really looking forward to starting Day One right about now…

and pleo not that i had about five minutes to digest it. we are talking about role pm’s. ed mentioned that he did not have a separate “section” i asked him about it and he responded that he just had some carriage returns (or something). that’s crap and you know it.

sounds like fucking clinton.

the bitch didn’t even swallow so i don’t see how that meets the definition of sex.

heebus creebus.

Yes it does. It includes the Dark Lord’s name 3 times, 2 of which are part of the “Suaron and his minions” bit. Apparently, my role has a real hard-on for that guy.

My WinCon sort of hangs there as well. It’s in it’s own paragraph, separate from everything else, but doesn’t have a header delineating it as such.

Quoth peeker:

ed being full of shit is presumably a subset of ed not being vanilla Town.

arrrrrrr.

jeebus i always get caught in this nonsense early on.

he said he did not have a separate section for his wincon. just a couple of line spaces, capiche. that sounds like typical ed obfuscation and i am getting sick of it.

oh, i am going to do a handshake but i don’t have the information to pull it off. oh shit i don’t have a wincon but want to see what everyone else does. how the fuck does he pull a handshke off if he has no fucking wincon? sounds scummy as shit to me.

seriously, wtf.

I’m not sure why you think it’s crap. That’s a more or less accurate description of my victory condition–no separate section, but a new paragraph.

Maybe you have as much a problem interpreting straightforward text as I do vague ramblings.

Really? I was just buttering the popcorn so I could sit back and enjoy the show…

Day 1 cannot start soon enough.

Oooh, I just had a thought…maybe this is the ‘Day without Dawn’…[keeps eyes peeled for hordes of Morgul orcs]
