I appoligize for my lack of particiapation. I thought I knew what I was getting into, but I’ve had a hard time keeping up, and because I haven’t had a good understanding of the game I haven’t been partipcating. Sorry. Yesterday I had a strong ping from **TexCat** , so I’ve spent the last week going through her (I hope the pronoun is correct) posts. I only made it through Day 2, but here we are at the end of Day, so I figure I should post what I have. WoW through D2. I don’t know how you all do a WoW in a few hours… I think I’m doing it wrong. Maybe because I keep getting distrated by the context, but I think I have a better understanding of what was going on in the game after looking into **TexCat’s** interaction during the first two days. **Day 1** [D1#29](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19904293&postcount=29)Votes **Normal Phase** “Oh heck, this is as good a starting vote as any.” [D1#31](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19904307&postcount=31)Clarifies voted **Normal** for editing. “I don’t approve of editing.” [D1#91](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19904878&postcount=91)Votes **Colby11**. Points out his saying “the other team” when talking death color. [D1#187](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19906347&postcount=187) “@Hooker. Only 1 Patsy. And she should claim.” [D1#315](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19908882&postcount=315)Quotes confirming opinions on **Colby** , and finishes with “Is Colby trying to lurk this away?” [D1#359](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19909668&postcount=359)About using logged in meta information: “I refuse to even look at or consider this kind of evidence.” [D1#452](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19911002&postcount=452)To **Angel** about her not reading the rules. “In fact, there’s not much I wouldn’t put past a scum!Angel to do.” [D1#510](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19912068&postcount=510)Fluff as far as I can tell. To **septimuis** about **Meeko’s** acronyms. [D1#586](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19913167&postcount=586)Says **Angel** could have just read the rules. [D1#624](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19913601&postcount=624)Quotes Angel letting people know she’s Archeangel on Giraffe, to @Guiri [D1#625](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19913609&postcount=625)Nevermind, that post was just above. [D1#713](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19915719&postcount=713)Confused by day and night stuff. Is Septimus deciding who to protect right now? [D1#759](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19916386&postcount=759)Haven’t heard much from Colby, which bothers her. [D1#760](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19916393&postcount=760)Reply to Scathach voting for her for pointing out Colby’s scum slip since TexCat knows Colby’s tendancy to get lynched. Justifies vote as a vote on scum rather than Angel’s anti-town play or for lurkers. [D1#765](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19916487&postcount=765)Back to Scathach, says if they are more suspicious of something else perhaps they should vote there. Misunderstands that the “shitty D1 vote” comment wasn’t referring to her. [D1#788](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19916702&postcount=788)Joking about her reason for Colby are better than Lakai breating weird. [D1#865](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19917826&postcount=865)Asks “Who is the smart ass wolf?” in repsonse to “Town the other White Meat” vote count ad. [D1#874](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19917901&postcount=874)Advocates the Patsy claim so scum can’t claim it, and so investigators don’t waste an investigation. [D1#947](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19919279&postcount=947)Claims not 3rd party. Reafirms vote on Colby for misrepresenting Brewha’s post. [D1#1269](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19923530&postcount=1269)Not sure what conclusisions can be reached based on Lakai lynch. Thought Lakai looked scummy, but left vote on Colby who still looks scummy. [D1#1276](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19923587&postcount=1276)Watcher info would be helpful now, and hopes they are leaving crumbs. [D1#1315](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19924202&postcount=1315)Rembembers “burby” coming from Peeker. **Day 2** [D2#42](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19928442&postcount=42)Votecount with unvotes. [D2#48](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19928586&postcount=48)Reply to Sunny Daze, who lamented the suspicion on Colby and his subsequent night kill. Says “Or perhaps Colby should defend himself, quit lurking, and do some scum hunting.” Worried about the quick bandwagon on ToJam and asks someone to summarize the case on him. [D2#88](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19929473&postcount=88)Defends Colby suspicion, saying Colby screws up as both town and scum, and that he tried to lurk it off, and his vote for Brewha was bad. Says jsgoddess calling a policy vote is just wrong. [D2#133](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19930227&postcount=133)Misunderstood jsgoddess that the policy vote comment was about the vote on Normal Phase. Says addressed how Colby was scummy in _in this game_. [D2#179](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19931019&postcount=179)Comments on the BillMc case and votes him. [D2#224](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19932047&postcount=224)Asks Brewha if his switch PM says anything about other people with switches. [D2#232](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19932209&postcount=232)Quotes mod info about switches and says it doesn’t match Brewha’s claim, due to toggles. Aks Brewha to post switch PM. [D2#301](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19932995&postcount=301)Batman should try to hit scum rather than anyone he thought was town. Not inclined to think Brewha is scum. [D2#304](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19933037&postcount=304)NETA: Number one rule of gun safety: Always point the muzzle in a safe direction; never point a firearm at anyone or anything you don’t want to shoot. [D2#542](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19935976&postcount=542)Clarifies jsgoddess misunderstanding on policy vote. Somewhat anti multilynch since usually successive lynches have more information. [D2#544](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19936016&postcount=544)"Rovian" new favorite word. [D2#564](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19936251&postcount=564)Discusses Brewha claim with jsgoddess, “I can’t see a scum motivation for Brewha lying here.” Not against second lynch, it’s just not as as lynches on succsesive Days. [D2#569](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19936304&postcount=569)Asks Crys what the investigation results look like. [D2#605](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19936764&postcount=605)Points out that Crys is claiming non-exclusive wincon. [D2#612](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19936815&postcount=612)Asks that since Crys only gets LUTHA/non-LUTHA results, why did Crys think she could sort out Brewha. [D2#633](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19936933&postcount=633)Unvotes BillMc, votes snfaulkner for editing, accusing him of “super secret cultist message to Crys”. [D2#639](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19936974&postcount=639)Votes Crys for being a cultist. [D2#654](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19937088&postcount=654)Joke to mods: looking forward to another YouTube clip. [D2#665](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19937191&postcount=665)Vote count. [D2#670](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19937213&postcount=670)Vote correction. [D2#725](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19937876&postcount=725)Thinks Crys is hiding something. Why hasn’t a fellow cultist stepped up to verify Crys? Happy with Crys vote and perfect use of second lynch. [D2#810](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19938946&postcount=810)Correcting vote count. [D2#968](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19940185&postcount=968)Asks Johny Bravo what the benifit of lynching Sachertorte over Crys is? Reconsidering Crys vote, not sure if leaving 3rd parties alive is a good thing. [D2#980](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19940251&postcount=980)Vote count correction. [D2#986](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19940365&postcount=986)Explains Brewha switch claim ,“Brewha knew that was not true.” [D2#1313](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=19946239&postcount=1313)Cautions against assuming those with the same views are on your team. Yesterday I was pinged hard by her: > [@Mafia Reunion Day 4](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-4/778699/413): > > > [@Mafia Reunion Day 4](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-4/778699/394): > > > > > [@Mafia Reunion Day 4](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-4/778699/388): > > > > > > I disagree. First blood has been spilled. Wolves need to even the score and mafia will want to retain their lead. If a wolf kill or a lynch takes out a mafia, they are going to want to take out a wolf. As long as they are hunting each other, it would behoove town to try to strike a balance that maintains their bloodlust for each other. Right now, all mafia has to do to win is keep killing whomever they want. Wolves now need to kill 3 mafia in addition to the overall population goal. Don’t you think that demands that they change strategies? And if they are, then shouldn’t town? > > > > What on earth makes you think that the wolves haven’t been hunting mafia from the get go? If they could lead a lynch on a mafia, it would increase their town cred. Plus a dead body is just a dead body to them. I don’t see any change in their strategy. > > This seems contradictory. If a dead body is a dead body, why put much effort into hunting mafia? This post pings me. It is accusatory, but I don’t understand how **TexCat** is getting from point a to b. I have issues with **paul’s** post, but the fact that the wolves might change strategy based on two of their team getting killed seems obvious, so I think you are reading his post very differently than I am. I read it and thought, “how are you saying town should change their game?” It looks like you read it and thought, “how are you saying scum should change?” See the difference? > > **FOS TexCat**. Something doesn’t feel right with you. I want to review the lynch leaders, but I think you just jumped in front of them. My impressions of her D1 play is that she had a lot of short posts, many casting suspicions one way or another, but never delving into anything. She was the first to call out **Colby’s** “slip”, which would normally be a null tell, but it was pointed out that she knew **Colby’s** tendancy to post things that seemed scummy. An interesiting sidenote is that **TexCat** got into a bit of a scuff with **Sachertorte** D1 about his vote on her, because he also said he was more suspicous of those that “doubled down” on weak votes. **TexCat** seemed to take offense at that, even though it wansn’t directed at her, and **jsgoddess** defended **TexCat** against the accusastion. **D2** , she continues to hover around the edges, asking for clarification rather than stating a case: > [@Mafia Reunion - Day Two](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-two/777425/179): > > I thought this was a very good point yesterDay, but after Colby flipped town, it didn’t seem as much of a point. I did look at your case on BillMc. > > Does anyone have any insight into this Dante game? I didn’t play in Dante’s recent game, Death of Mother Nature, but I went over to look and BillMc wasn’t in it either. Colby was and he was town and NK’d on night 4, not lynched at all. > > The odd thing here though is, as Drain points out, Bill doesn’t see any case on ToeJam here in post 1000, even though he later thinks the argument in 568 is worth a vote. > BillMc is probably #2 on my list of all-time best scum hunters. Perhaps this is just not his best effort, but it feels more like it’s coming from scum to me. > > **vote: BillMc** She votes **BillMc** , which is intersting, because with the lack of bussing this game would make me think she isn’t a wolf. But **jsgoddess** defended her, which hinted at **TextCat** being a wolf. I want to review the rest of the Days, but I think **TexCat** is scum. So: **Vote TexCat** --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-5/779271)._
