> [@Hero\_From\_Sector\_7G](#): > > If you are assuming the two outed masons are telling the truth why do you think they will make it to endgame? They are going to be picked off. If we do have a doc he has to play some serious WIFOM games and cannot protect any other power roles if they need to come forward. > > I’m not advocating for a full chain reveal today, I’m just saying it can’t last and the masons aren’t something we can depend on in end-game. Well, no, it’s not likely that the outed Masons will make it to endgame (although it’s not impossible, either) but that doesn’t mean they’re useless, and it doesn’t mean we should be hoping the scum should pick them off. I will admit, I think I might have misinterpreted your “Masons are players with no power. Nothing, nada, they can’t do anything.” as meaning that Masons in general are powerless, as opposed to exposed Masons being powerless (which is that I’m inferring when I reread it now). That’s somewhat wrong, too, in that, if nothing else, we can assume that the Masons, while not necessarily right in their analysis, are at least pro-Town in their analysis (i.e. not lying). I still disagree strongly with the “Honestly I’d rather have scum pick off the masons for the next three or four nights and thus carry the real power roles into end game.” statement however. ---

Lesson 1: You usually have to read peeker’s posts two or three times before you can parse them properly. 😉 But seriously, I didn’t get it either.

Screw that. I didn’t claim to come into this knowing everything. I’ve been reading from [mafiascum.net](http://mafiascum.net) as much as I can, but you’re right, I don’t know every in and out. I’m doing my best and contributing as much as I can. That is a shitty thing to say to someone new to the game. ---

Did no one else read Nader’s press conference transcripts. My lord the country is going to heck in a hand basket. Let’s fight ignorance, not be ignorant. And is humor lost on the jaded youth? Dark eye shadow on our treasured daughters. Disillusinment on our sacred sons. We must do all in our power to encourage them to be productive contributors to our Social Security funds. Otherwise it’s Alpo and Saltines for my “glorious” years. Swear to og **pleo** they are egging me on. ---

Just be glad you didn’t get the CapnPitt [welcome wagon](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=456652) (lynched day one for a minor slip) Or the faithfool [welcome wagon](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=447411) (made a minor slip, despite backings from a mod and the only power role, was pursued by certain players over the entire game only to lose the game for the town due to lack of participation) This game tends to be…unforgiving to newbies. But it’s not impossible. I survived to the end of my [first game](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=461435), which my side won. My biggest advice would be to not take things personally. Discussion here tends to get hotter than a steel mill, but if you stick around for the nights people are almost never actually mad at each other. ---

Ok. If I am getting fucked then so be it. This a tough crowd but generally sweeter than sugar. Just don’t take that candy from **santo** , however. I am with the advisory board. No way in hell am I telling you my power, however. Most of the grey beards already have seen this. You kind of have to look between the lines to see the clues. And with with me they are just a little more obvious. The real artists: fucking **blam** , **story** , **santo** , **pleo** , **squiddy** , **jsex** and the rest of the crowd are real phuqs. **OXY** , **pede** and **moi** not as much. I just obfuscate to make the hints a little less obvious. Hitch it up, buck it up and let’s start lynching. You are in a pretty heavy hitting crew so don’t get your feathers ruffled. And to the ones mentioned previously pffffffft. ---
