Thanks, Weedy. I’ll doublecheck the vote count later today.
ok. this lollipop is for astral and brewhahahahahaha. any reason you folks aren’t playing. is it because of my dickitude? or is it because you know that if you post you will be sussed immediately? enquiring minds want to know. dontchaknow.
and gad anything you can do about these fucking admins? they are severly limiting my ability to play.
btw, i love your shoes.
and ffs. i guess if there is not a typo in any post then you now it wasn’t from me. carp. :smack:
I would be willing to lynch Giraffe (peeker’s suspect), Brewha (my suspect), and um… Weedy.
For asking peeker to target himself. That’s not only not proving anything to us (because peeker could fake it) but peeker won’t really be able to use the data to his advantage either, being silenced and all. Plus wagoning Scuba_Ben.
Fell asleep last night while I was doing the re-read. Pardon me, I’ll get back to work on it.
In order:
- Weedy
- Brewha
- Giraffe
I’m playing. Seems to me this game started with 37 players and there’s about 5 people actively posting. Why single me out?
I have very little time or inclination to read this board on the weekends. I got stuff to do. I’ll get all caught up tomorrow - I hope.
Christ, there’s almost 1500 posts on this mammer jammer already. Any time I’ve spent has just been reading. And don’t worry peeks, I’ve played with you before - nothing you’ve said has been more dickish than I can handle.
posting as i catch up.
it would be best to target another active player to confirm it. i must say that the mafia gods have a sense of humor if they gave peek a silencer role.
another reason he shouldn’t target himself is if he indeed is a silencer, he might pop a vein not being able to post. 
More or less a shot in the dark, and one of your posts gave me the creeps. Nothing more than that. But I trust that more than the cases made on most anyone else at the moment, because I know the source of the suspicion and I know it is townie. I also see that basically no one else went for it, so the odds are better the scums don’t like my idea.
No strong reads on this post, but it fits the category of a wolf who is trying to fit in and not make any waves or controversial statements.
See above comment.
This is a post which doesn’t do anything but adds to the post count, otherwise known as the “I’m not a lurker” strategy.
It’s talking while saying nothing, which is the equivalent of lurking except that you’ll never get tagged for lurking while doing it. Scumbag’s second most common strategy right underneath claiming detective.
I entirely disagree with this assessment, peeker sounds more townie than anyone I know at the moment.
This is the post which gave me the heebie-jeebies. Can’t explain it better than that but I’ll try.
+1 post count. That’s all this is.
+1 post count, giving excuses. Fakey sounding sentence: “I hope we didn’t scare you off”.
The word “we” is used more by scumbags than townies, on average. Psychological tic to try to blend in, doesn’t even realize that they’re doing it. Scum tell is called “we, we, we” all the way home. Not always accurate, some folks like using “we” regardless. But still.
+1 post count.
Sounds nervous and also gives excuses. +1 post count.
Hasn’t made any waves, hasn’t been that controversial, main suspect so far was peeker and Sister Coyote. I disagree on peeker at the very least, and the post on Coyote didn’t feel genuine to me. Lots of fluff, excuses, +1 post count to avoid being a lurker, but the exact same actual content as a lurker who has posted twice.
As such, you gotta die. Lynched, that is. Maybe you’ll get all strung up today or tomorrow - I hope.
<snipped>
which one was that?
never fucking mind.
Okay, trying to rationalize the gut reaction. Here’s what the brain sees that maybe the gut saw first.
- “He started with coherence - which has been pointed out - is not like a villager peeker.”
My response to that is that if he were a scum peeker, he would be intelligent enough to continue going “woot the fucking woot” and being his usual self. Trying to act un-peeker-like isn’t going to help his survival if you’re already aware of his style. Acting different, in this example, actually is points in his favor. It means he’s not trying to avoid suspicion.
- " So, either he is town and is just back on the vicodin and vodka diet, or he’s scum and playing his usual self to hide his “scum tell”
My response to that is that this directly contradicts the first thing. Playing his usual self? I thought he wasn’t acting like himself?
- “Of course, it’s all a WIFOM case and have no idea what to make of it as of yet. So, stinky smelly FOS, but not enough for a vote.”
You won’t even back up your own suspicions with a vote, and your suspicions don’t even remain self-consistent. As such, you’ve said a whole lot of nothing.
- “I don’t like it. Latching on to someone else’s reasoning gives her an out if Ed turns up town.”
That sounds suspiciously like you’re trying to “sound townie”.
You see, that’s a nice, specific thing I can digest and consider as being truthful or not. The bad news is that when it came out the other end, it smelled like bull s***, not a nice happy fart. It’s entirely too paranoid an assumption for so early in the game. You’re describing a complexity to the move which may not even exist, thus is an **intangible **thing you’re finding scummy, rather than a **tangible **thing. I can’t see the intangibles, so I can’t assess whether or not your suspicions even make sense.
Your case against Sister Coyote is that you’re paranoid she might have a double-motive for her vote. But that’s nothing I can taste and eat, that’s YOUR IMAGINATION.
Show me something she actually said that I can sink my teeth into as being more obviously deceptive, not just what may be possible. Show me the tangible reasons she’s guilty.
The case I make on you, for example, shows how your behavior tangibly gives us nothing to work with. That’s true regardless of your motivation.
Your motivation, people can speculate on, but the TANGIBLE is that you’re posting fluff. That’s real. I can see that. No one can debate its existence.
So, you think peeker is scum for not acting like himself while acting like himself, and you’re paranoid about Sister Coyote.
As a matter of fact, screw it.
unvote: Giraffe
vote: brewha
I gots to kill me a second scumbag in 24 game-hours.
and what would even be more fucking evidence that maybe their is a god - just one that kind of likes to giggle with this experiment - is that i targeted myself n0. when the fucking thing didn’t work. HAH.
<snipped and bleached>
rut the fucking roh.

Quite a few posts. A lot of helpful advice. Almost zero opinions. A vote on me with almost no explanation.
Kill brewha today, and I’ll vote Giraffe tomorrow peek, regardless of flip. Soft promise.
(soft promise = if your opinion on Giraffe changes or I got some tangible evidence or eyewitness information on Giraffe, I’ll retract the promise, but it’s made in good faith today)
hey, i didn’t single you out. astral was in there as well fcs. i was just starting at the bottom and working my way up. but it is a tad odd that after getting a poke you pipe up. so who do you think are scum? not just 1 but maybe 1a and 1b kind of thing.
gotta say my top three are:
giraffe
ben
pizza
jan gets a real close 3rd to pizza. i’m also worried about draino now that i think about it.
the other bastard that i worry about is sach. i don’t know if the others have players that are so good that it is scary. we’ve got four. guiri (dead), bill (plays pretty much on giraffe but not playing), story (probably the baddest of the bad but not playing) and fracking sach. i mean each and everyone of 'em are good enough that if they make a case against you it is normally so compelling that you feel like lynching yourself. capiche?
how 'bout i take it under advisement. i want to poke the mound a little bit more and see what shit can be stirred up.
note to self: get in a game with pizza where we are both scum. we can just silence the lambs and drive the boat wherever the fuck we want. probably to denny’s for some pancakes.
You’re creeping me out now.
why?
