There is no reason for this. At worst, we can resort to quoting the Bard or Chekov to pad posts. This pustulating of verbiage to pad posts is incongruous and unnecessary.

Brevity is the soul of wit.
And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes…

Come on, no way. I mean, faulkner might be scum, but that didn’t seem scummy at all.
“You’re suspect! Yeah, you! I don’t know what your reputation is in this town, but after the sh*t you tried to pull today you can bet I’ll be looking into you. Now the business we have, heretofore, you can speak with my aforementioned attorney. Good day, gentlemen; and until that day comes, keep your ear to the grindstone.”

We have a gully? Well shut, we can just chuck the lynchees in there. No need for a rope or tree. I’d still recommend torches and pitchforks though.
Gah! Stupid autoincorrect doesn’t let me swear without a fight. Shut=shit.
is there a mandate from the mod on high against post editing?
“Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.”
Vote Hi, Neighbor!
There is no moderator mandate against post editing. This is another issue for you guys to decide on your own how you want to handle it.

And the Prof posts the first OMGUS vote of the game!
Newbies can go to MafiaCentral to find out what all these lovely acronyms and abbreviations mean.
ETA: I forgot we don’t have vote tags on the SDMB. Revised to actually vote.
Aw, you say the nicest things!
Vote Biotop
Because there can be only one, and if he is scum I can’t risk the stress of another late game showdown with him. <3
If we are on opposite sides my goal will be to outplay you, not kill you.
snfaulkner and Biotop are never quiet. I’m getting the sense that Johnny isn’t either.
I shall now poke a quiet stranger.

I’m voting Stranger on a Train for his vote on faulkner.
Vote Stranger on a Train
And, wow, what a quiet game.
This is starting to look like the Spanish Civil War, or the end of a Tarantino movie. I’ve got my eye on you, but I’m sticking with snfaulkner.

My volume tends to be directly proportional to the length of time I’ve survived.
Man, you’re just makin’ my stinkeye squint tighter with every post. How do we cast our second vote again?
In my case, it’s the (real-life) weekend, and I actually have shit to do for a change. (I am going to Japan in 12 days, which should not keep me out of the game, but will have me posting at odd hours. I found myself frantically making lists yesterday and starting to cross items off today.)
