starting to realize that posting a lot of stuff is counter-productive if no one wants to read what you have to say. I'll try cutting it down a bit. Anything that has any relevance to a read, though, will still be longer than most of the posters here post.
responding to some of the parts i found relevant in lyingbrian's post
I get it, posting that much was unnecessary. Blame boredom.

Thanks for the clarification; I agree that that would be a good reason to suspect someone, and I happen to largely agree with the suspicion on duckhunter at the moment, which is why I have kept my vote on him. And that's not changing until I get a good reason to back off of him.

Other than on epicmafia, where I've used it to reasonable degrees of success on 3-way lylo, 4 times, not including this one. I used it once on day 1 and it worked; the others I did later in the game on lylo to change the pace up a bit. It failed once before; the other times it put scum in a position where they became scummier and scummier. The other time, I was lynched, but my read was wrong based off of it anyway.
In post 69, LyingBrian wrote:if you think my calling your questionnaire "stupid" equals "not pro-town", then again you misinterpret me. it was a semi-decent way to kick off the game, but to make statements like "blue is the color of someone's face when the mafia is choking them" doesn't really help get the ball rolling, except to talk about whether or not the "color test" is a good way to start RVs, which is what we've done so far.
I really don't see why you continue to harp on the "x color is bad for y reason which has to do with mafia" as being somehow important. I have already said that it was just me trying to poke some fun. Why does this still concern you?
I have already pointed out that it is literally just two simple questions. Your refusal to answer them, not the question itself, has caused this thread in a decent part (see - content of nearly all of shinki's posts, majority of content in my posts, and a good bit of your own as well are the ones that come to mind) to become much more side-tracked than it should have been. Was that your intention? Because as of now, you have starkly failed the color test, and I feel as though you have attempted to use the confusion to your advantage. Why do you continue to refuse to answer the question? It is two simple questions (plus me getting to make a joke about how that color relates to being mafia). It being extraneous, while I do agree is for the most part not as valid as a final reason to vote for someone, should have been a good place to get discussion going. Instead -- while I do take some of the blame for this, and to an extent continue to do so just by posting a response to your complaining about it -- you harp on the question itself.
While it seems as though you have backtracked a bit in your tone from your last post to this one to a middle ground which I find more reasonable, I find the backtracking to feel fake. While I can certainly see how it could be used to put some pressure on someone, it feels like a dishonest way to do so, and the backing off feels like a way to feel more pro-town to your average townie for simply "being reasonable." I don't mean to suggest that it is the reasonability that I find scummy; not at all. I find that the seeming changing of your position on what I've been doing and saying to feel dishonest.
In post 69, LyingBrian wrote:based off pure speculation, i would say that you are mafia DaLetterEl, just b/c of the amount & frequency that you post (mafia like to talk a lot, but again this could be personality). i don't actually think this is the case, though, as i have no base to compare your current post count to other games.
On other sites, I was used to posting twice a day, and usually would have at least one post of substantial length when I either felt extremely bored or when I really had something to say. However, I think that most of the people I was playing against kind of knew that essentially whenever I posted, that I would say something rather substantial. Still, I've probably posted too much, in that multiple people are complaining about simply not wanting to read my posts thus far, which sucks, because I want people to read what I have to think and say.
@ Fakinha, Yeah, my post was pretty unnecessary, but at the time, that was really the only post that had been made since my last one, and I was bored and didn't know when I would be able to post again. So I posted that.
In one of your latest posts, you say that I'm weird (which is probably true...), and then place some thoughts on players based on some of your reads. Why in particular do you find LyingBrian to be "almost town?"
@ Shinki, you seem to be decently active, and yet I haven't heard much about your thoughts on other players. Would you care to explain your thoughts on the current lynch on duck? do you like it or do you not like it?
@ new guy, deasvail, welcome! why are those your favorite colors? did you know that the initials of orange and purple make up OP, which is what mafia members try to do to innocents - overpower them?
@ duck, as of now, who are your one or two strongest FOS's, and why are they strong FOS's of yours? If you give me a convincing argument against someone else, I might be more willing to vote for someone else.
