Yeah. Was actually suggested by Nachomamma in my first Newbie. Can't quote because locked and don't feel like working. I'm sticking with it.

trust me, it will be better if we do this now.
I feel like I remember the name randommidget. Can't remember if I've played with him.
My vote on Alchemist was also semi-serious. I'd like a response to the second part. Usually offering some sort of reason, even if useless, is better for town.-

Yes, I was referring to the game I had with RandomMidget.
I'd say vote-hopping becomes more scummy once we leave RVS. It can be reasoned in RVS dependibg in the situation, but later it's mostly bandwagoning if you're hopping. I'd say pretty null right now.

Before I catch up, this post is horrible.
This and his follow up are pure nonsense. One can assume that you didn't read your PM's fully if you didn't know to confirm in thread. He's either getting uber defensive at a perceived accusation or trying to create scum tells out of thin air.-

No not really. It's a new game. Unless you're referring to this game, which without any day abilities will stay constant today. But you seem hyper-serious. I've fucked up like that before. Sometimes you're right and it tirns out, sometimes you're wrong. Bad decision. I don't like policy lynches on people day one though.-

it is a policy vote for sure. midget is a liability. until something actually scummy comes along this game...that is where my vote will stay.
would you have preferred a random vote? why or why not?
Random? No, probably wouldn't have. Something random generates no reactions. And would be useless as there's nothing behind it to try and be a decent lynch.
However, RVS usually develops into actual voting and accusations so an RVS that turns into something real is good. A stupid mistake earlier isn't worth a serious vote.-

I've like Dark's attack. I've liked Collatz defense. I wouldn't say either was scum. I wouldn't townread, but they definitely wouldn't earn my vote.

VOTE: Marcrell
I'm most suspicious of Marcrell going into this game, and I'd like to encourage others to join me on this wagon. I'll give y'all a few key points as to why.
1) In post 53, he votes ckd because he doesn't "see" ckd's vote. Presumably this means he doesn't agree with the vote, but he doesn't take the time to explain why. Further, he abandons his "semi-serious" vote on Alchemist and has yet to address him since. Now, I disagree with his ckd vote on principle, but I'd be open to hearing his opinion as to why it's a better vote than the one on Alchemist (or voting someone else), but he doesn't give us that.
2) I see a chainsaw defense of Otolia in post 85. Marcrell hasn't talked about Otolia at all this game, and yet he's coming to his defense in what he sees as BBT's nonsensical and defensive posturing. Additionally, this is the strongest he's come down on any player thus far, so it seems to me like this would be a better spot for his vote than ckd is. This speaks even more to the ckd vote not being genuine.
3) The use of the term "policy lynch" in post 92 seems like a strawman. I didn't see ckd advocate for a policy lynch. To be sure, ckd's vote is a policy vote, but he made it clear his vote was riding on randomidget until something better came along. While I can see someone disliking that position, I hardly see it as grounds for voting. The fact that Marcrell felt the need to make a strawman and blow ckd's vote out of proportion is yucky to me.
4) Although I agree with the sentiment behind posts 109, 150 and 153, they all kind of say the same thing. Marcrell isn't really adding anything to the conversation like every other active player is (sans mnemonic).
And so it begins.
1. It was RVS. Now it was serious, but in the smallest sense. He didn't explain a vote. Yada yada reactions theory blablabla, I asked why he said nothing. He gave an answer. Not too much there. But, I used to play on EpicMafia. Policy lynches on people with no avatars every game. I despise the very idea of lynching on previous games(or any other matter besides in thread things, unless it's some sort of meta claim), and so I voted.
2. I pointed out the post is completely bonkers. Makes no sense. Otalia made a logical guess. Blue starts freaking out. I pointed it out. Making no sense isn't a scum tell, it means one either has miscommunicated or your idea was crazy.
3. It's a policy lynch. He's voting him because of a previous action. One can assume he would do this in any other game. Hence policy lynch. Resting your vote somewhere because there's no better option doesn't make it any less of a policy lynch.
4. Yeah, I got sort of lazy and didn't feel like analyzing much. My bad here.
I'm sorry, I've got to switch devices. I'll get real stuff up here soon. From skimming, Otalia looks bad, but maybe if I read into it. Should be something tonight. Tomorrow at the latest.-

Based on this argument, may I assume that you think any time someone votes another player, they want them lynched? If yes, then I want you to justify your votes in this game. If no, then why isn't ckd afforded the same luxury as every other player in this game (namely, the ability to vote someone while not necessarily wanting to lynch them on the spot)?
Marcrell 202 wrote:I pointed out the post is completely bonkers. Makes no sense. Otalia made a logical guess. Blue starts freaking out.
These are all opinions... Look, why is it okay for Otolia to speak on BBT's behalf before BBT has a chance to speak for himself?
Marcrell 202 wrote:Resting your vote somewhere because there's no better option doesn't make it any less of a policy lynch.
And now is your turn to show me where ckd advocated lynching randomidget rather than drawing attention to a previous game. You're conflating the idea of policy votes and policy lynches in a dishonest way.
Uno: RVS votes-fine. RVS claiming a screwup last game-fine. Retaining that-not fine. I may have misread how serious he was about keeping it, but I read him as being insistent on the lynch.
Dos: Because he made a logical assumption. Later on he said it was a typo, he meant to refer to himself and imply the same thing happened. Whether or not that was the intention, the other assumption that can be drawn is that Blue did not misread but completely ignored directions in his role PM. Honestly. I really can't see how this is a problem.
Tres: He voted. Said it would be better to do it early. If I have to say that I made a word mistake and said lynch instead of vote...
I've been getting a vibe that a lot of these questions are semantics. I don't know, maybe I'm crazy.
And now for Marcrell's patented Gigantic Analysis Wall of Text. Today's mystery guest....

I think his hopping was established as not being scummy. From what I saw. Again, I see where he's going, but I'm not getting there.

Listen: I'm not calling you out on the voting or on wanting to gather information, that's more than fine, but I'm just questioning the way you're doing it. You're misrepresenting what I'm arguing.
You're deflecting and I don't see the difference between what I've done and what you've done. So in essence, either you needlessly nitpicking to pass as town or you're just pointing fingers at everything that moves in the hope that you can pounce on it.
I haven't played Mafia on MS for a while, I don't remember the last time I played Mafia here but definitely before the Mayan Apocalypse. Maybe War in Heaven III.
This one I don't see much. I can understand being read from being out of it. See Shiryu in http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=58512
But, I don't know if that's happening here.

This post is.... Nah. Accusing Dark of being hypocritical. I understand what he means. It makes some sense. But not enough for a scum read.
I can feel the peace offering statement of being one townie believing to be caught in a town v town trying to end it, but the seeming threat doesn't help his case.

I've tried to meet you halfway because I believed that since we were essentially doing the same thing, we must be both town and you unvoted so I just thought we could reach an understanding. But no. By the way, you said "Ask me straight-up what I haven't answered well enough and I'll be happy to share." and I answer "Well that" + a quote of a question, it OBVIOUSLY MEANS THAT IT'S SOMETHING YOU HAVEN'T ANSWERED BUT THEN YOU DID WHILE I WAS WRITING MY POST.

I wish I knew myself. I was townreading him in my last post because I thought that he had the same reasoning but now that he is voting me again, it's like the case of Collatz suddenly makes sense. >< For now, he is back to null read like the rest.

what post do you feel like Dark is "grasping" at straws?
#70 and #108. Especially this quote :
It's like he was waiting for someone to call him on it so he could pounce and start his case.I'm an obvious target because of my vote hopping, and he's taking full advantage of this to make a case against me without questioning whether it's actually a scumtell.

I think this is decent. Alright.
Result: He makes points that are halfway good, but I think are stretching it. I'd lean scum this way.
UNVOTE:
But he's L-3, I'd bring him to L-2. He's got enough votes for now.-

Can you clarify what you're talking about here? Too many pronouns for my liking.
Alright. If you were a player, you would assume you didn't confirm in thread because you misread the PM. Otolia stated this. Then you started accusing him of speaking for you. I think it's a logical conclusion, not him sticking words in your mouth. So I said you were either A. Getting overly defensive or B. Making up scum tells.-

I had mostly skimmed because laziness. So then I made a post of detailed analysis of the current topic.
I'm not scum reading blue from his post, I was saying that it wasn't a scum tell from Otolia.
I've said this before. I vote Alchemist. He gives a reason. Dead topic to pursue then. So I vote elsewhere-

I'm going to say that Randommidget should probably be lynched at some point before it gets lylo or something because then he's a giant liability. However, these things aren't often scum tells. Being barely off from flaking and completely useless isn't a scum tell, and so if you have any scum reads or something I'd suggest trying to vote them instead. If not, then the day can fall to this lynch, but it's really more of a getting it out of the way thing.-

Obvious filler is obvious. There is no reason to say this at this point in the game.
I'm giving my opinion on Randommidget. I don't scumread him, but he's a lynch candidate if we don't have any good scumreads. That's not filler. maybe not a giant post, but I'm not just spewing from my ass here.

Town? I wouldn't say that after I said I'd lean scum on him in the post. I'm not totally convinced on his lynch yet.
In fact I'm starting to feel a Blue lynch might be decent.-

The timing of it makes it filler. There is no need to be discussing PLs right now when there is plenty of scummy behaviour in this thread. Although, if you're scum, I'm guessing a PL is the best you can hope for right now.

Please do this. Please.
Marcrell, thoughts on Reubus?
From reading his ISO, I'm getting a town lean, though this post:DarkLightA wrote:Spoiler: RS post
This is one of those posts that looks good on the surface, but says very little. A lot of questions, not many statements or arguments. Especially the addressing of Marcrell looks odd to me. I really don't understand what he's saying here... Marcrell quite clearly stated that he doesn't want an immediate lynch. He's afraid of a speedlynch and that's completely reasonable. Don't you think so?
is right on the money for his problems. There's questions, but I can't find much behind them.-

Correct.
Earlier I've pointed out where you called out Otolia for his conclusion. I think there was another thing too.

Okay guys, I'm back. Was busy Monday, meant to come back last noght but problems. I see Red is still deadest on my lynch. Otolia said he was waiting on me but I'm not sure for what.
From what I can currently absorb I like Ckd's 529.
Couple people have pointed out mnemonic. Find criticism. Don't see why it had to be said twice. Eh, maybe formatting was confusing or something in alch's post.-

My post about mnemonic actually was not specifically about him. I did say what other people said was right-but them I asked why the same exact thing had to be restated by someone else.
Now that you mention it I can't really mark out much town from mnemonic.

I'm going to have to disagree because I'm town and can't confirm Otolia's alignment, and I've seen scum in the same situation do similar to get a mislynch.
More and more I see CKD post I'm feeling more town on him.
I'm still conflicted on Otolia. I could see him flipping either way.-

When I came back I asked if anyone had any questions to restate them because I missed so much.
So I would answer your questions if I knew them. Unless you mean my views, which are coming out.
It seems any activity I'm going to do is going to be pulled out and construed as scum. Townread somebody? I'm scum. Vote somebody? I'm scum. I was rushed for my last post though.
RC is just really bothering me this game, I don't think I could give an accurate read on him.
As for thoughts on BBT... I want to read him town. His recent sudden change after being so sure on the lynch seems like at least one's an act, if not both. He seemed positive, but then dropped off the wagon.-
