MAFIA 43 - GAME THREAD

[damo666]

Durga only agreed with xorx's plan and then said squiggs looked good.

This is pretty much the opposite of what Fox said

I think I still think Squigs looks good. Foxy, not so good.

Cogito ergo cogito. Cogito.

Brain not Brian

GM will no doubt accept but not won't. Please recast your vote.

I am having problems catching up with the game because of my real life activities. I tried last night and just felt asleep. Readed the last pages now.

I think bb meltdown with Durga isn't alignment indicative, he is probably really offended, specially because of the prior interactions with Durga, I hope this don't derail the game. The retracting on the claim is the problematic thing. Brain is fully capable of fake claiming as town, and a no-con claiming con isn't bad as Xorxes already pointed as it gives cover to the cop . But why retract? This just seems bb trying to muddy the waters like last game or maybe trying to signal something to the Mafia team.

##vote brainbomb for now while I try to re-read a bit.

ill try to catchup tonight in the train, havent had time this weekend

[xorxes]

my nicks for some peeps with longish usernames:

attorney - noah or atto
bozotheclown - bozo
Foxcatle- Fox
Nephthys - Neph (although his username sounds so royal, so majestic I feel like trash trying to shorten it)
RagingIke - Rag? or RI

speak now if you have an issue with this or forever keep silent

I don't remember Vapor posting so much contentless shit as scum, but I was scum with him so maybe I just wasn't paying attention. In any case, I want to lynch a conservative today so he has a pass for now, but we need more substance.

[xorxes]

I am really behind (about twenty plus pages) and won't have a chance to read further until tomorrow morning.

Nodody remembered you were in the game anyway.

[xorxes]

Vaporwave is posting way to much stuff that is irrelevant, talking about last game, Jamie's age ect....

Do you think that's scum-indicative?

[xorxes]

I voted Durga with no explaination because she has been pretty composed so far this game and I wanted to see how thick her skin was

And what was the conclusion from your experiment?

[brainbomb]

Theres a ton of fascinating stuff happening with vapourwave

[brainbomb]

this game is bewildering, and deep

[brainbomb]

I feel so overwhelmed by its nuances

[brainbomb]

Im struggling to focus though. It just keeps snowing here

[brainbomb]

Snow can be kinda maddening after a whe

[brainbomb]

I feel like theres competing focus, like xorxes wants to catch walleye, attorney wants to start a law firm, Squiggs is like Pat Robertson this game, and what is the deal with moscow?

[xorxes]

i have like 4 votes on me
should I flavorclaim?

you should do a logic-procession post :D

so people can see and follow along with you

besides, there's an entire day left

First post from emc I think "town".

[xorxes]

Ike has been talking now and then, but haven't seen too many opinions from him yet. Mostly has been commentary on what seems to be...not really trivial, but slanted stuff?

I don't normally have opinions on day 1, at least not very many. Here's what I got:

Xorxes I read town, he came up with the claim idea and it seems beneficial to town

Brain I read scum, there's no reason for a conservative townie to not claim it, he claimed it, flipped to the other side and then when questioned flipped back, doesn't add up...

Durga I read scum, but that's just wishful thinking

The problem with this post is that while all the reads are probably accurate, the reasons for them are all wrong.

[xorxes]

Vapor/Attorney interaction early on (~p. 13-15) seems very unlikely to be scum/scum to me.

I don't like Percy's vote for Vapor at the top of 16 (For ref). It looks like a joke vote, but it's at a period where people actually were scumreading Vapor and he was the center of the recent discussion. Seems like a vote to keep momentum going, but in a format that would allow him to absolve himself later, claiming it was just a joke.

damo seems like he's just commenting to comment. Taking things out of context and not really making implications from his comments.

Note: thamrick reappears but doesn't address the conservative question. I still have a few pages to read though.

I agree Vapor/Attorney unlikely to be scum/scum. My take at the moment is town/town.

[xorxes]

Oh so you're just allowed to shade me and attack me and I'm supposed to shut the fuck up? No. Get out of here Ike.

Where did I shade you and attack you?

This, OTOH, I can easily read as scum/scum.

[xorxes]

Furthermore youre taking the football and trying to score touchdowns when theres a dead ball foul on you

Aren't they called goals, not touchdowns in Football? I'm not a sports expert, but I think you're not describing football, especially as "taking the football" sounds like you're picking it up.

Percy gets points for this. Not necessarily townie points, just points.
