Random at least seems to put in some readable, understandable comments.

Unvote; vote Drifter


Some questions for Drifter:
1. Why did you ask about a deadline in 134, when you were already told the answer in 75?
2. Who do you find most suspcious? Why?
3. What is the meaning/purpose of your 192? The only thing I see coming out it is major WIFOM.
ah not the deadline thing again, from what I can remember I wasn't given a clear answer the first time. I was told that there MAY be a deadline so excuse me for wanting to have all the information.

As I have said I suspect life of pie for IMMEDIATELY starting a bandwagon on me. So as I used the wrong word last time:

vote life of pie


As for people being sus of Fenchurch, wel I understand 'trust nobody' but tbh I'm not really sus of her. In fact I would say she is the closest to a confirmed innocent we have.

Your complaining about my play, wel choose who you want to vote off and we will see who has been more useful for the townies when I end up lynching a mafia and all of you end up voting off an innocent (which will happen if you vote me off). Then I will be able to complain about your poor play. Why not take it just a little less seriously tho, it is supposed to be fun amirite?

Fenchruch, I become increasingly more suspicious of you especially as you have a tendency to distort what people say and make it sound scummy. For example, I don't know how you got "Verbose posts are a scum tell" from my post. I said verbose posts under pressure are often times a bad thing because it comes of as defensive. Not that all verbose posts are bad. What you've stated is a gross distortion of my statement and thats a scum tell.

FoS: Fenchurch
Armlx: What has he done to make you think he's scum.
Mizzy: Other than not scumhunt, not post much as of late other than jokes and lurk a bit?

Oman: This is known as "doing a thinktank".

Your choice of wording is still fuzzy and ambiguous to me. Does your opinion differ from Artem's (post 185), and if so, how?
Do you maintain that being defensive is a scumtell?

And "tendency" is a bit strong; this if the first time that I have tried to look for other meanings in what a player has said.

I'm having second thoughts about Fenchurch, but I'm going to keep my vote on for now. I just can't read the other players with enough tenacity yet -- give me a little while longer to root through some posts.

Eh, I really don't have faith in this system. One vote doesn't really do much in this situation, plus we don't even know if he has access to the boards.

I'm not too fond of players that say "This is interesting..." because it's an attempt to fabricate suspicion without explicit listing of reasons.

If you find me voting Drifter suspicious, then please explain why and address my reasons for voting and Drifter's responses.

@Drifter: Why do you think fenchurch is the closest to a confirmed townie we have?

All the more reason behind why you shouldn't be making such open-ended statements such as "<This and this> is interesting...".

In my (somewhat limited) experience, players use such phrases to cast suspicion on other players without providing any reason behind the suspicion itself.

If your interest is not suspicion, then please elaborate also.

Welcome back NabNab, and thanks shaft.ed for covering
. It has been a week since Mallick replaced in and he still hasn't posted anything, could we get an update on his status, possibly another replacement? I know shaft.ed mentioned sending out a prod, was this picked up?

I don't know whether to read much into it.. but lifeofpie's reaction to the buddying up suggestion seems a little over-the-top to me. My initial accusation was a weak one, and I think a response of "I was just being friendly" would have sufficed. But this switch to posting insults looks a little like trying to cover up the previous behaviour. :?
At any rate, the "joke" response to RandomGem is rude and inappropriate, not especially funny.

It's exactly what I said it was. It's interesting, not suspicious or townie, something to revisit once we have more information.
