> [@Dizzymrslizzy](#): > > He seems to have picked up this game much quicker than I would have anticipated… Well, I suppose that’s a compliment. I’ve read through the vast majority of the Mafia wiki, skimmed through quite a few archived games on idlemafia, and also through several of the games that have been played here on the Dope. I’ve had a lot more questions than I’ve actually asked here - the questions I ask are the ones that I can’t get a definitive answer for on the Wiki, and I’ve said that at least once in this very thread. ---

No, just that you seem to have advanced thought through explanations for things that would be easier for a “team” to bounce ideas off of and come up with instead of one lone town player going it on their own…From one n00b to another…As I said, I’m looking at this from my perspective, This is my 3rd real game (5th if you don’t count the two games that I was killed on D1/N2), and you are much well more versed than I am ---

Then we have the MIA’s Fubble who hasn’t posted anything of substance since 2/13 Meeko who is so not like himself I don’t even know what to do with him. He also hasn’t played since 2/12ish. And he keeps coming back with lame excuses and a “burp”? WTH? Why not try a little? Babale- Last post 2/4. But at least he’s confirmed town right? I’m going to add this one on also. I really think he’s coasting, and why we are letting him get away with it without answering for it is beyond me. **Vote: Meeko** ---

I always figure I’m in the perpetual lower 10% play wise. I’m not sure I understand why you would forward that I ““KNOW”” anything. You know your answer here. I don’t feel town would make such a big deal on my activity, or lack thereof, as scum would. Scum need an easy, reasonless lynch today. I simply feel that my name on their list has come up, and they are phoning it in. Yes, I made it easy for them, blah blah blah. This just means look at them more than me. ---

My Results: N1 - Silver Jan - Town N2- USCDiver- Town N3- I was Blocked N4- Cookies - Scum N5- Suburban - Town I’ve had relatively bad luck in this game. USC started as Town, which is why I was reluctant to vote him, but the book thing really threw me for a loop. I tried building a case against Cookies, instead of outing myself then, because I was trying to find the SK. And Suburban, I wasn’t quite sure, maybe he was the Demon himself, so I scanned him to see if he was possibly 3rd party or Scum. ---

Really Texcat??? Really??? In a game with the amount of kills we have seen you don’t think story would have built in a backup of sorts for the cop? Red didn’t publish any results. Maybe he just got the Name since I only get alignment? I have no clue. The SK is out main problem here. As I said yesterday we need to find him before we get to MYLO. I’m nervous that we might be there now [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-game-in-progress-edited-title/646635.md?page=87) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-game-in-progress-edited-title/646635.md?page=89)
