I feel I should point this out for all of our ‘newer’ players. \*\*peeker’s \*\*repeated references to “shoes” would seem to be related to some sort of posting restriction issue. It’s a reference from a particular game here from many years ago: [see here](http://mafiagameswiki.com/mafiaWiki/Shoes) for a brief description.

I don’t know if \*\*peeker \*\*is implying that he has a posting restriction, or that \*\*TexCat \*\*and/or \*\*Jan \*\*do, or if he’s just complaining about being hampered by the mods who seem to have taken issue to his language a bit up-thread.

Sorry folks, busy weekend. Been trying to keep up by reading on my phone, but holy hell there’s a lot of posts to keep up with!

But double voting occurs during the day whereas picking a target for being silenced would happen at night. I don’t necessarily think peeker is a silencer, but I don’t think we can rule it out using that logic.

the other person that i just kind of wonder about is **buffy**. i mean she always likes to get in my grill. she’s probably still asleep. but she is also a kind of random good player. so i’d really like to hear from her as well. i mean we have this whole love/hate thing that goes WAAAAAAYYYYY back (i think it was my second game my dear - first time that scum clean sweeped). ever since then she has been a lot less friendly.

Quick question - how do you see all posts in a thread by a particular player? I’m sure someone posted how to do this in day 1, but I can’t find it now…

just go to the main menu and hi light the number of posts. it pulls the number of posts by player. click on the number and you get kind of a cliff’s note version of their post.

nah it taint the footwear. i just feel that there is alot of town on town shit going down. so the drive bys are like hmmmmmmm. and since i know i am town and since **pizza** i have no clue about other than i know that he is not confirmable to me. just seems that scum would have a “front” man". fuck been there done that. shit so have most of us at some point. i am convinced that **g** is scum based on his posting and vote. i also think that **ben** is as well for the perch on the dock flip flops yesterDay. but i get confused on that one because he can be normally just clueless. and **pizza** is playing along. i know that i am not scum but certainly someone over there knows that they have to keep me engaged. otherwise i spend the next fucking six hours going post by post. scum don’t want that. and **jan** ’s vot is particularily troublesome. lazy fucking town or opportunistic scum. i tend to the latter.

hey, i gave you four. how about two from you?

I’m willing to accept that Dancecat is town for the moment, after the night reveal to Idle.

The **peeker** wagon starts to slow a bit and he jumps off of **Krayz** probably hoping not to be on a townie lynch. Later, votes start popping up quickly on **TexCat** and **Silver Jan** and he swaps back to **Krayz**. I strongly suspect that one or both of those two is scum and he forgot that he’d cleared **Krayz** and **peeker** and jumped back on the wagon to save them. There simply isn’t a townie reason I can think over for that behavior, but there’s a pretty clear cut scummy reason for it.

Ok, after rereading the day’s events so far, this is the most convincing case I’ve seen.

Some of the part you snipped out explains that I was looking at all the low-posters and those on the Krayz wagon at once. I didn’t say you were on the Krayz wagon.
