Wow. It seems like meeko is the only one holding a grudge about Crimson Glyph. ---

First he’d have to realize he’s made a mistake. I don’t think he’s actually come to terms with the fact that some of his conclusions are flat wrong or at the very least his interpretation isn’t the only one. ---

Meeko, is effing hillarious. I know him from haggle and he seems like a good guy, but remembering to take the occasional deep breath is probably a good thing. Honestly, I hope he sticks around and keeps playing. Some of our better players started off a little off the rails like this. ---

I only know him from the last haggle game, where he played a bit like this. He seems excitable, but in haggle it seemed like a strategy…here not so much. ---

I would love to see meeko as Scum. When we were Masons together, there was nothing I could do to rein him in. I’m certain he’ll have tells all over the place, but still, it’d be fun…unless I was Scum with him 🙂 ---

Well, Meeko just got mod confirmed as being town. It happened in a round about sort of way, but town are crazy if they lynch him now. The question is, who will realize that the mod’s most recent note confirms Meeko and who will notice but stay silent. If story doesn’t say anything about it my money is that he is scum. ---

While his role may be Town his play is decidedly anti-town and it may be a good idea to lynch him anyway in the absence of a better candidate. One could argue he made up his role claim post just the same as if he were Scum; the real Sawyer could be sitting back watching the inevitable unless it looks like Meeko might not get lynched. ---

I don’t know. Would scum risk claiming to be Sawyer if they didn’t have cover roles already? That’s one role that is fairly well guaranteed to be in the game. ---

Also, could the Scum have gotten the cover roles before the Mod announced it? And meeko jumped the gun when he saw he had a cover role? ---

I’m not familiar with the Show, but stroy described him as a con-man I am familiar with the show and Sawyer might be 3rd party, but if so I would guess neutral not PFK. Making him PFK takes him away from the character, which the mod seems to have said he won’t do. ---

The mod has also said there are two factions only, I believe. ---

> [@USCDiver](#): > > The mod has also said there are two factions only, I believe. Some people don’t consider 3rd party to be a faction, since they don’t steal a win from either side. Some people don’t even consider a PFK a faction, since it’s usually just one member, though I don’t agree with them. ---

I might have 5 or 6 posts on here that aren’t Mafia myself. The same is true at domebo and Giraffe.
