Ah ok good, because I really can't read anything in ashura's and flames's slots right now. And thesp is null to me until he answers about his scum reads.

vote: boro
Robbed of a scummy for what had to be the best unvote in mafiascum history.

Sometimes I get heated and don’t realize it. If I get like this please somebody tell me to take a break and chill out. Thanks in advance.

I am so. I have been posting about the fact that I think just constantly accusing each other of lying is not the way to play a game.

But it's not prod-dodging. And trying to make the game more enjoyable by attempting to stop the accusations is still a good thing because it contributes to the purpose of the game: enjoyment.

Sorry, I missed your question. Is this what you're referring to?
In post 142, Honey bee wrote:Thesp, I really don't care for town reads, is jake your only scum read?

I'm really not keen on Flames682. If he was still around, at this moment he'd be my scond choice for a lynch. (When he's around, we'll find out exactly where he ranks. At this point he needs to be replaced.) I think the play of BoroPhil and Boonskiies is terrible as well. While I can't imagine that all four of our lurkers/flakers (some of who are actively lurking) are scum, I definitely imagine they didn't want to get caught up in the me/Jake from State Farm tussle, and the poor play of the town lurkers/flakers has likely enabled scum lurking/flaking. I don't see scum playing like BoroPhil is playing, but to a greater extent I don't see
town
playing like BoroPhil has. (Same with Boonskiies, to a lesser extent.)

I like the pressure on BoroPhil. If there's no change in his behavior, I will gladly move my vote there to secure a lynch as needed.

I actually like the last several posts from Jake from State Farm.

I know this is a very minor thing but I was just doing a quick skim of some of Boro's games to see how he approaches day 1 and most of them didn't stand out until I got to 1 game where he was very blah about day 1 so I quickly looked up his alignment and he was scum.

Now I realize that alone isn't enough to lynch him or even indicate that he is scum but I just found it interesting. Now granted I was doing this on my phone (where I am notorious for missing things when I skim) and I didn't go through all his games but I just found it interesting.

Ideally when I get some time i would like to go through all of his games and see how many times he is so apathetic to day 1 but i don't think that will be today.

You're just proddodging and you are an SE, there is no excuse. You really don't want to post anything constructive. And you ignored me again.

well.. Pretty much everyone ignored me lol.. Except maybe boonskiies..

I really haven't seen anything in this argument thats going to make me vote either Thesp or Jake now. The argument is coming off as a big misunderstanding.


not sure on this one. I was thinking that any vote for me would be bad, but this again feels more like frustration. and you are right, day one arguments tend to be town v town



scum reaction

Any chance there's a link for the lazy? ;)

haha, I knew there was one game where I'd said something along the lines of 'I hate day ones, they are so hard to get into', and it's the one Jake has linked above, where I was indeed scum.

That hasn't changed.

I wouldn't shed a tear over a BoroPhil lynch at this point. I'd like to hear from our replacements as soon as they're found, then get a lynch.
