i mean there are a couple of players here that as near as i can tell are just acting nice. kind of putting me off my feed so to speak. but crud if **quacked** got all butt hurt by the “clown” comment then heshe would be cut bait for the great whites that play on those sites. it is seriously brutal. ---

I think you completely missed the thread you meant to post that in. Let’s hope your mafia-finding skills have better aim than your ability to post in the correct game thread. ---

That being said, if you think the board he frequents (and thrives in) is all sunshine and niceness I suggest you go over there to take a look for yourself. The difference primarily being that people tend to spar _ **about the game** _, but by and large (with some unfortunate exceptions) respect each other as players and don’t go in for personal flaming. Your exchanges here have toed the line, peeker. Your stuff about MykBot was, frankly, ridiculous, and if I’d been at my computer at that point I’d have issued you an in-game warning before the board mods did it themselves. I wish you’d focus on the game itself. It’s a fun game. It’s a fun setup. Have fun figuring it out. And maybe stop going after posters personally, even if you’re just joking around or trying to get a rise out of people. ---

And **STOP THIS**. Stop slagging on people here by intimating that games elsewhere are somehow better or more hardcore. Games elsewhere are _ **different** _. That is all they are. If long Days lead to this much chatter about non-game-related stuff, I’m seriously considering shortening them up just so we can start reducing the numbers more quickly and people don’t feel as overwhelmed by the volume. I realize this is somewhat counter-productive, as faster Days will no doubt _also_ lead people to feel overwhelmed, but frankly it’s frustrating that we seem to be experiencing the worst of both worlds right now – lots of posts at a fairly high volume (for this board), but not a lot of engagement in the setup itself. ---

Damn, a lot of posting has gone on this weekend. And I have to say that \*\*peeker \*\*has got a huge noise-to-post ratio right now and it’s really annoying. I’m not sure if it’s scummy but considering the number of players complaining about the pace of this game, I wouldn’t put it past the scum to spam up the thread in hopes of scaring off townies who are actually trying to keep up. Yes, that was a smudge. I’m also putting that out there in the hopes that peeker will include more substance in his posts. I’m inclined to believe **Scuba Ben** at this point because in addition to his claim, I’ve been watching the bandwagon build on him without much competition. That makes me think he’s probably town. I know that I need to place a vote and I’d like to do it earlier rather than later. I don’t know that I’ll be able to actually re-read all 33 pages at this point but I’ll do what I can to make an informed vote. ---

May I be of help in assisting you toward the particular cases on folks such as Weedy, Giraffe, and Brewha? Bias warning: these are folks I’m after. I don’t know where the other cases are, but I can help look if that would be useful. ---

ok, **gad** quick question and i not putting it in green. if you have a honking 6 footer 12 year old playing in pee wee that is a beast do you teach them to be a safety or do you hand it to them and let them take it up the middle? just kind of curious is all. i mean really your response will kind of be fascinating. ---

> [@Weedy](#): > > The wagon on Ben has really taken off, which by the arguments from yesterday, means he’s probably town. I am hoping for a whole bunch more posts from people after the weekend, including Ben, so I can make a better decision about my vote. Wait, what? What about the wagon means he’s probably town? I think I made a pretty damn good case and I know I wasn’t the only one that found his behavior suspicious Yesterday and it’s much more bizarre once it’s been fleshed out. So, if you think he’s probably town, I’d like to see an argument from you to illustrate that point or at least tell me where in my analysis I went wrong. ---
