MAFIA: The Game - Ideal for Beginners [Game in Progress]

Then, suddenly septimus gets three more votes, from Diggit, Sario, and Dante G. None of them justified their votes at all; Diggit said he “seems the scummiest”, Sario said he “agrees with the case against Septimus” (what case?!), and Dante G claims that Johnny Bravo “pointed out some pretty convincing things.” I would bet my eyeteeth that there are at least two scum among those three.

Johnny Bravo made what I thought was a very bogus case against septimus. On the other hand, he was about the only septimus voter who seemed at all interested in actually making a case, and he was the first to vote for him, so can’t be accused of jumping on a bandwagon. It’s possible that he was scum trying to keep his head down and cast a one-off vote, but since we now know that Chronos was Town, it seems likely that a wolf would have been more likely to jump on his bandwagon (or on JSexton’s or Dante G’s, if they are Town). Despite him pressing a ludicrous case against septimus, I still have relatively low suspicion.

Diggit, Sario, Dante G: provided 3rd, 4th and 5th votes to put septimus in serious jeopardy. None of them offered a good reason for their vote, then or ever. Massive suspicion.

Thing Fish, thanks for this post. I’m going to go back and check your work when I can, but this generally squares with my recollection. I snipped your post to highlight the parts that I especially agree with and/or found persuasive.

I continue to think TexCat is town. If I were a wolf, and I saw the town barreling toward lynching one of two townies, I sure wouldn’t get in the way. I’d probably keep my head down and watch the fun. It looks like Sario, after his vote of septimus, pretty much stayed on the sidelines. To be fair, I did not contribute much either, but I did maintain throughout that I thought septimus was town, and I never got on the TexCat bandwagon. Sario did put a vote down on septimus, for not the most persuasive reasons, then sat back and watched us turn on each other. I still haven’t started to lean heavily one way or the other on Dante G or Diggit Camera, but I am becoming suspicious of Sario.

Although, as I’ve said, I do think there are some legitimate reasons to be suspicious of** TexCat,** I think it is entirely correct that Plumpudding’s case against her was a tissue of lies, mischaracterizations and innuendos (it also didn’t escape my notice that his attack on AFAIK our only female player was peppered with a steady stream of accusations of her being “overly emotional”, “hysterical”, and other sexist code words).

And although he never voted for him, Plumpudding was pushing the septimus mislynch just as hard and with just as much BS. At one point Plumpudding mentioned, apparently with pride, that when playing in person he tends to “point fingers and yell until the spittle flies” (quote may not be exact), and that’s exactly what it felt like he was doing in the second half of the Day – throwing a temper tantrum with no facts or reasoning to back it up.

But, although I thought he was certainly not helping Town find scum, and was making the game less fun, I didn’t see any clear clue to his alignment yesterDay; he seemed as likely to be obnoxious Town as Scum.

My bold.

Yes. I agree 100% that Plumpudding’s attacks on TexCat were mostly scattershot personal attacks with a hefty dose of sexist language. I don’t know if he’s a wolf, but I am tempted to vote him for being a jerk.

@Mahaloth

What a bunch of shit. I suggest killing Prof. Pepperwhateveritis and Jsexton ASAP.

I still have suspicions of JSexton. Not sure about Pepperwinkle yet. I’d like to hear your thoughts on him.

I’ll hold off on voting for now. But I would like to hear Sario explain his vote a little better and let us know what he was up to last Night.
