Relevant, but his case on me is genuine enough to still convince me he is Town. I admit you do give me doubts, though.

Hi, Neighbor: 3 (Mahaloth 452, snfaulkner 460, Knowed Out 474)  
Biotop: 1 (snoe 495)

My apologies about the lack of clear communication on Scum Day-talk. Most of the games I’ve seen have allowed it, and so I took it for granted.

**Also, an important announcement: I have something going on this weekend which I had mistakenly thought was canceled. As a result, I will have to slightly adjust the schedule: Night 2 will end at 12:00 on Saturday, not at 4:00.**

21 hours remain in Day 2.

**vote Biotop**

If \*\*Biotop \*\*comes up town, I won’t feel any current need to lynch **Hi, Neighbor**. If he comes up scum, \*\*HN \*\*swings toMorrow.

If we lynch \*\*HN \*\*toDay and he comes up town, that still doesn’t preclude a scummy \*\*Biotop \*\*messing with the vote count at the end of the day to divert attention from whomever his partner is.

If \*\*Biotop \*\*comes up town, I’m going to be squinting pretty hard at Mahaloth per Biotop himself in post 464. I agree that it’s a little too trusting.

(IRL - I am back at the computer after a ridiculous day of moving stuff. (Did you know my things are still in Oregon and won’t be here for 5-7 days? No? Neither did I. :mad:) I digress.)

On reflection, I think that leaving my vote on **Knowed Out** makes no sense, regardless of how irritating he may be.

**Unvote Knowed Out**

I have not been able to do much of my own hunting toDay. That said, I think that **Johnny** ’s case on **Biotop** is worth pursuing.

vote Biotop

Good to see you. I just got back from 7 hours of driving from the mountains of North Carolina. My wife and I came home from vacation a day early to avoid Hurricane Michael heavy rains. No vacation again for another year. ☹

**SNF** , how many years ago was it you and I started playing this silly game? I think the first game we ever played together was **Johnny Bravo** ’s marooned spaceship game. Am I right in remembering that was your first Mafia game? It was only my second.

I think we were stuck on a planet. At the end **HookerChemical** won for Town by a coin flip and got to take the spaceship home.

[This](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=773111&highlight=mafia)looks like it. It doesn’t say anything about a _space_ship though.

If reliving old games helps, far be it from me to dissuade y’all. But if that’s ALL you’re doing, well …

(Of course, two of you are apparently able to shoot the shit 24/7. Might actually be a partial explanation for why this game is so damn quiet.)

In the first game I ever played **Johnny Bravo** was a member of the Scum team IIRC. I was a Town mason member with **Mahalorh** and **Chronos**.
