If nothing else, toDay seems to have given us a lot to look at and think about.
We’ve got less than 19 hours left in the Day by my calculation.
Yeah, if the Masons could at least start spelling out their suspicions and start discussing in the thread who to vote for, that would be awesome.
Sorry, that came off snippy and I didn’t mean it to be at all.
Uh, I don’t think I’ve been Captain “me too”. I’ve been busy a bit and I’ll admit I have not been super talkative, but “me too” is far from what I’ve been. In fact, I’ve had my votes out pretty early on most Days. I think I was later on Day One, but I’ve had(IMHO) early votes with support on most Days.
Oh, and Guiri, I didn’t see your question until now(must have missed it). I’ve just re-read myself(from that day) now since it has been awhile, and I’m not sure I get what the problem/confusion is for you. I was saying, at the time of the vote, that at least story explains his votes. The next day, I think I was saying “i don’t get it” because of the detective revelation. I was saying, I don’t get his vote for me in relation to him being a detective. In fact, I clarified it, saying that he must have not found scum on his first investigation, since his vote rested on me, a townie. If he had found scum, his vote would have been on them.
I mean, I didn’t think it was contradictory or forgetful at all.
Meh. I’ll make it easy.
I’m done with this game (and by that I mean Mafia) tout court, I think. Either I die early and feel like a sap or I live a long time and it turns into this horrible chore that I hate; and then I get into a contested lynch that leaves me feeling emotionally strung out and pissy and exhausted (the pissiness above is real, Drain) in ways that mess with my real life. I don’t fucking WANT to play another week of this.
So please allow me to introduce myself, I’m a man of not much wealth and no great taste. I shouted out, “Who killed the Kennedys?” when actually it was, well, me. And Sirhan Sirhan, seeing as how I was dead by then.
My name is Lee Harvey Oswald, I am an Assassin, and I win with the Scum, and as noted above I’m done with this game.
Apologies to the scum team, and to the rest of y’all for not carrying through with the game.

I’ve never been so sad to be right.
And Tom, I’m really sorry. If the game is stressing you out, you need to step back. I did for a couple of years, actually, although part of that was due to being pregnant and then having a kid. FWIW, I think I was a lot harder on ed than I was on you, and I enjoy playing with you and hope you can come back to the game eventually with a fresh outlook.
You mean to tell me a Scum just claimed Scum?
Meh. Only a game.
I doubt it’s true, but, if he wants out.

I tend to forget how emotionally draining the game can be from time to time. It can be difficult when you feel like you have to argue against people who just don’t belive you.
I came close to quitting a couple of games when I was newer, especially one where Santo Rugger was riding me hard because I wasn’t understanding him. Turns out I had good reason not to understand him anyway.
I know from time to time I might seem like I’m harsh and overly critical. I hope everyone understands it’s all in the game for me. I don’t think you can get the same level of information when you’re all sweet and nice that you can when you’re persistent and prodding. I enjoy playing with everyone here and on Idle and Giraffe as well. Honestly, I really do. I might not appreciate everyone’s style of playing and/or communicating, but I don’t expect everyone to play the way I want them to, even while I reserve the right to demand that they do.

Holy cow, have I been right about a single thing yet? YesterDay I was all ready to go and defend Digger and then he claimed Doc, and toDay I’m ready to defend Tom and then he confesses? Whatever, I’ll take it.

I wish you the utmost success in your de-mafia-izing, Tom. You’re fun to play with and I hope you come back around.

Ok. so gamestate analysis. This is going to be complicated by the fact that MHaye and Zeriel died without a cardflip. Let’s hope that they weren’t power roles.
We have had 1 cop, 1 doctor, 1 vig and 3 masons in this game. Under Jexton’s point system, there are 4 points for the cop, 3 points for me, 2.5 for the vig and 7.5 points for the masons, that’s 17 points from our known power roles. We began with 20 players. Doing a bit of quick math, if there are no more power roles, then the game is exactly balanced with 5.6 scum. That doesn’t work out too well, so maybe there’s a scum power role out there. If there were a redirector or roleblocker, I should be dead right now. Scum wouldn’t want to leave me alive and risk the power role being killed. If there is a godfather, then 1 godfather plus 4 scum gives us 25.5 points for the scum and 26 points for the Town. So I agree with the people who are guessing that we had 5 scum in this game.
sachertorte is not a firm believer in the JSexton pointing system.

That Day Three lynch is clearly the critical one. I would bet a significant amount of money that there is exactly one scum among Red Skeezix and Drain Bead. I doubt that scum would be so blatant as to vote three in a row in opposition to the Tom lynch, but that vote count really makes it look like they went in pretty heavily to save him.
An interesting night. Tom, sorry to see you go and sorry the game was no longer fun for you. I hope to play with you again.
So at least one scum has an evil name after all.
I guess both Drain and Mahaloth (& Cookies) get brownie points for their persistence in their case against Tom, well done guys. Another small point in Drain’s favor is her unique profession, I doubt “Spiritual Leader of the Nation of Argentina” was a false claim.
Agreed, this makes sense.
Oops, forgot to vote.
