> [@Blaster\_Master](#): > > My towniness goes without saying. And, in fact, I’d hoped that you may have considered investigating me at an earlier point, but it is unfortunate that you did not. The second sentence there indicates that you have read NAF’s claim, and understand the implications and limitations of it. It is immediately apparent that he can only evaluate a given statement as true or false. Why would you possibly think that sentence 1 is one that would qualify? Sure, it’s a common idiom, but not an applicable one. In mafia, no one’s townieness goes without saying. It’s kinda the point fo the game. > [@Blaster\_Master](#): > > And with regard to NAF’s question, I’m glad that you deliberately misworded what I said. What I said was “[it] goes without saying” which, is a very common idiom. Does that really bother you so much? Would you prefer that I say “yes”? I can say it if it makes you feel better. Yes. Do you feel better? Sorry for, you know, typing how I speak. :dubious: Here you attack someone for calling you on your evasion, which you then follow up with an evasion. You have to know that simply saying “Yes” is meaningless. > [@Blaster\_Master](#): > > Fair enough. I am town. After a half dozen people ask for it directly, and not one but two evasions on your part. > [@](#): > > I was under the impression that intention was sufficient because it has, at least, been my experience thus far, that my intentions have been appropriately interpreted by our illustrious mod. Not buying this. It’s exactly what I’d expect someone caught evading to say. > [@](#): > > So I have to ask you, if I am scum, how exactly is anything that I’ve done been, in anyway pro-scum? Don’t you think that I’d know better than to lurk like that as scum? And then, of all things, encourage myself to be investigated? My life expectancy, if I’m lying scum, is a maximum of Tomorrow, because he’d investigate, see I’m lying, and I’d get lynched. Well, see, you’ve already admitted that you switched up play style in order to avoid attention. Granted, that can be a good thing for town, but are you really saying you see no scum benefit in it? If you’d even posted a couple times more than you did, you might have slid by unnoticed, so it very nearly worked. > [@ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies](#): > > I can confirm that someone felt me up last Night: > > I’m inclined to give BLaM the benefit of the doubt for now, and unless someone steps up to say that they targeted me in some way, I’m inclined to believe that BLaM did indeed target me with some sort of power. Yes, BLaM himself could be the hideously evil and scaly one, or one of his scummy brethren. BUT…I don’t think a scummy BLaM would’ve done an about face on his vote for me like that. I think it would’ve been relatively easy for a scummy BLaM to catalyze a sizable bandwagon against me toDay, and he chose not to take that route, ergo I don’t think he’s scum. I’m not _convinced_ that he’s not scum, just doubtful. Man, does no one else smell mafia investigator there? I’m willing to beleive that BLam didn’t know his target would get a PM as well, or he wouldn’t have claimed it. But, wow, hideeously evil? How do we just let that go? vote Blaster Master --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-evil-dead-day-night-four/480155)._
