> **Dizzymrslizzy** , you posted a “very frustrated” comment (about this being the most frustrating game you’ve every played, why bother… or something to that effect). Was that real or were you acting the part of frustrated Townie?

The lack of participation WAS very frustrating. I thought I was putting out some good cases on other players…

- Especially with Johnny
- Lightfoot who refused to answer anything, but completely got away with that, and still is.
- Even with the MIA players.

I also felt I had a good defense that I WAS playing pro town, and most of my actions could be seen as pro-town, but I was blindsighted and went down hard.

And, in another game I am playing in, I threw a big hissy fit when I was getting votes on me, so I felt that I had to do a little of the same here to convince the players playing both games that I was Town here too.

On the topic of low participation…

I have more posts in THIS thread than some still-living players have in the game thread. I know I’m verbose, but I didn’t think I was this bad!

So bets on who dies, looser buys the beer.  
There are 3 confirmed (asu h as is possible) town suburban wombat and the mason who is no longer playing  
Maybe take a potshot in the small pool of unconfirmed players and hope to hit the doc and hope wombat the vig kills town?  
Although wombat can keep his powder dry now the so is dead.

Reminds me of Harry Potter mafia. So poorly participated in, I re-ran in with a different name not long after.

I might give us a little bit of a mafia break before kicking off De’endee 2, maybe a month break or so.

Try and time it around the Mafia games on the other boards. Seems like people are spreading themselves too thin.

You did quite well. I didn’t suspect you at all, really. At least no more than anyone else who was still alive by this point in the game…  
…speaking of which, it has gone deathly quiet over there, hasn’t it?

They killed all the talky players, and we’ve got two drop-out players. This seems to happen every game, sadly.

I’d be in favor of a mod-extermination if it wasn’t for the fact that scum is playing this lull so perfectly.

Lynch the Loud is a particularly pernicious strategy. I’m not sure how one could best neutralize it.
