Sorry to disrupt the game by calling for \*\*Zuma \*\* to PM me, but things were getting heated and he was the only person I PM’d that didn’t get back to me.

Don’t get too serious guys, it’s just a game.

Awww, now I am disappointed that I didn’t get PM’d :(. Guess I need more anger…

GRRRRRR

Now do I get a PM?

Agreed.

And it seems kind of odd, **NAF** , that you’d be PMing selected players in the middle of a heated debate (you didn’t PM me, for instance), but I won’t worry too much about it.

Don’t worry about it. I am just trying to keep the mods off our backs. Some things were said that _I_ thought were a bit too personal. I spoke to the people all is good. If I didn’t PM you worry not.

[QUOTE=Queuing]  
Did you even read your own post? You are calling for people on the same side of the debate to be killed. All because you “don’t think Zuma is scum”. Well frankly, sir, it no longer matters what any of us think IMO. There are only 2 options. They do not require thinking, they require common sense.  
[/QUOTE]  
Yep, scum asking for less thinking and trying to set up an “automatic” kill. So the Mafia will get us to kill one of our and get their own kill.

Huh? 😕 As has been pointed out, a 1:1 trade benefits the Town…particularly if the scum who is killed is “high-value” and can lead to a scum network. Your logic is specious.

And here comes a pat answer with no discussion or thought behind it. Just a snip of a quote.

Honestly, the tactics used by the other side are rather juvenile and frankly dumb. We (I hope you don’t mind me saying “We” Gadarene) have put our money where our mouth is. Yet all your side does is fake role claims (transparent attempts at getting the real claims to come out), attempting to allow a tool a say in its use, and crap posts that say nothing but throw out other names. And it isn’t even “automatic”.

Definition: Acting or operating in a manner essentially independent of external influence or control.

The external influence is my death, and what it reveal.

My death will be well worth it to see you 4 follow closely.

</div>

So, here’s a frightening thought. What if **BM** is the GF and **Queuing** is a lacky mafia?

**Queuing** sacrifices himself and the GF lives on. If we keep picking townies for \*\* Blaster Master\*\* to kill, he can keep playing himself off as the Vig since a mafia hit looks no different than a vig hit to us townies.

I’m just saying that even if \*\* Blaster Master\*\* appears to kill who we tell him, that doesn’t prove that he’s the Vig.

I just can’t understand why **Queuing** is so eager to get the noose.

Of course, if **Queuing** does show up as town, my fears are unfounded.

Fake role claims? I’m still waiting for someone to call out Pleonast’s fake role claim, and then I’ll be on your side and string his ass up. Until then, I am waiting for BM to give us his choice (“choice” seems like such a dirty word around here).

For once, answer a question directed at you.

I’m waiting because BM will tell us who his town-approved target is, and if the town-approved target does not die, BM dies. This is the test of his claim..

Hi all.

So the countdown clock is running and it doesn’t look like it’s going to get reset.

Vote queuing.

Before I vote in orange I just want to make sure that \*\*Blaster Master’s \*\* (I can’t bring myself to use his initials) night actions are completely determined beforehand with absolutely no wiggle room. It sounds like the scenario of two conditional night targets for the alleged vig would work, and I’m happy with that. Lets just make sure that it’s very clear before nightfall whom we expect \*\*Blaster Master \*\* to go after.

So as to get the alea iacta’ed

If \*\*Q \*\* scum, assassinate Gadarene.

If **Q** ~scum, assassinate Zuma.

[QUOTE=Queuing]  
From what I can tell, this is how the BM killing votes are going:

If I am scum, its Gadarene  
If I am town, its Zuma.  
BM does not get a choice. If this does not happen, he dies tomorrow, quickly.

Before I go to work, I will chime in and agree with this.
