You know, I don’t usually recommend making assumptions based on people’s user names, but if you can’t figure out the s part of a/s/l based on _my_ user name you’ve been spending too much time with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

That said, I’m far enough to the West of the U.S. to be on Pacific time, though I cannot in fact see or get to the ocean in a reasonable amount of time.

Don’t worry **Drain Bead** , I promise not to vote you as soon as the game starts.

I’ll wait until you’re right about to come back. 😛

I am re-thinking my participation; I am not having a good time of it with mafia games lately. Pizza, you sure you don’t want in?

I totally understand. If Pizza doesn’t want in, I can find another sub for you if you want.

Sanga could be scum and just trying to argue what he thinks is the townie thing; he could be townie and really believe that. Either one could be a third party. I don’t know. All I know is pulling posts is not working for me today; it’s like pulling teeth.

> Ok the serious response: brewha is scummier than sangaman by far IMO. Sangaman is plausibly scummy, but I wouldn’t be all that surprised if he flips town. Brewha, I would be. The post I originally voted on, this bizarre and desperate seeming attack on ATPG, the late vote for Inner, they all say scum to me. If it weren’t for his having been poisoned I would have voted him off the bat today. And, there are plenty of votes on sangaman. I’m not really convinced that brewha _should_ be lynched, under the circumstances, but at the moment my opinion seems hardly likely to matter, regardless.

But again, you are dismissing your vote and saying your opinion hardly seems to matter. Why doesn’t it matter? What difference does the timing of your vote have on whether or not \*\*brewha \*\*is poisoned? He’s been poisoned all Day. And if you are not convinced \*\*brewha \*\*should be lynched, why are you voting for him?

In the first post above, you made it sound like both were equally scummy. So are you now saying they are not? If so, what changed your mind?

By the way, did the board just go down for anyone else?

Urp. Should probably put this in the discussion thread instead. Ignore this edit.
