Mini 169 - Game Over

[NanookTheWolf]

Ahh, some of my favorite people are in here .. Does that make me suspicious?

Anyways,

Random Vote: Fuldu

[Fuldu]

vote: help im a bug

Also,

FOA: Phoebus

for acting like a crazed person.

[warpdragon]

Random vote: pinky

Pere?

[Phoebus]

Finger of Approval?

[Fuldu]

Finger of Annoyance

[help im a bug]

unvote, vote: Fuldu

for both casting suspicion on Phoebus and following his vote in the same post.

(oh yeah, and to return the second vote favor)

[Fuldu]

Not casting suspicion, hiab, expressing mild irritation. Also, "following" a vote that had no explicit reasoning with my own vote that had no explicit reasoning doesn't really say much this short a period of time into the game.

[Talitha]

Does this mean we have to behave ourselves now?

I don't think Quail has checked in yet... does he know that game has started?

[The Shadow]

Grudge?

I wonder what The Shadow has got to say to that...
Though I notice he mentions a "habit". This might be all too "convenient" for my cynical self!

It's sorta a history thing since I've been a M-scum. My first game I royally screwed the game for the town by listening to her scum lies. The second game....heh....well I vig'd her (first night - don't ask) and she was scum. And the third game, I'd gotten used to it, and the funny thing was, she was scum that game too....Anyhow, it was a similar situation to game 1 and she got lynched by me this time. 8)

Grudge? Talitha? Nah. Impossible. Just regretful. She wishes that last game I'd gotten lynched or something...

Basically a 3 for 3 record is a decent enough reason to keep on voting her like I have been, I s'pose.

[Phoebus]

Aww Fuldu!
I haven't played a game in soooooooo long! Surely, I'm allowed *some* leeway? I'm so sober and uptight and all "Hall Monitor" elsewhere. When will you see my fun side???

And the bug is digging and digging and digging a hole...

[Phoebus]

Simulpost!

That's rather interesting Shadow! Maybe you *do* know.
I'm almos tempted to vote for her now. But I wanna stay clear of the broom...

And oh bug...you're returning the second vote favour to the extent of giving Fuldu a second vote? Just OMGUS? Practice what you preach. No?

[Fuldu]

Even recent games you've been in, I don't remember you behaving quite like this. It isn't really a bother, just an eyeroll sort of thing (and thus the emoticon), but it did have me wondering "Is Phoebus drunk?" followed by "Should I ask jeep or mith to check that Coron didn't hack Phoebus's account?"

[Phoebus]

Haha. No to both questions and I have never quite gone this crazy.
So don't even roll eyes. Be mildy amused and mildly irritated and enjoy my sobriety now.

Ménage à trois? Blame them!

Come on, come on
Turn a little faster
Come on, come on
The world will follow after
Come on, come on
Because everybody's after love

Come on, come on
Jump a little higher
Come on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We were once
Upon a time in love

Come on, come on
Spin a little tighter
Come on, come on
And the world's a little brighter
Come on, come on
Just get yourself inside her

Love... I'm in love

Go a little crazy dude!

Returning the favor does indeed mean doing what has been done to me. I don't see where you're getting anything hypocritical from what I'm saying: I'm all for putting multiple votes on people early. It gets reactions from people and makes the game go faster.

Honestly, Phoebus, when I look at what you've posted, all I see is someone who would prefer to lynch a newbie than one of his friends, so you put a random vote on me early and are now trying to back it up by misinterpreting my words.

Seriously, did you really need to double-post to say that I'm "digging and digging and digging a hole" with my, what, two posts at that point, and to accuse me of nonexistent hypocrisy? You're either intentionally misinterpreting my words or lazy, neither of which is a particularly welcome townie attribute.

[LoudmouthLee]

Ménage à trois? Blame them!

Hmmm... either you're blaming the Counting Crows or you're citing another personal joke. I'll let you explain to the crowd

[SapphireVerde]

i think hes trying to be funny.

[Pinky]

Tally - I think Quailman could have easily missed the thread because I missed it - but he will will have got his pm so he will be here soon enough!

[Talitha]

Let's not worry about Phoebus. He's just finished his exams and he needs to let off steam. I'll be keeping an eye on him though. 8)

And maybe Quail needs a reminder about the game.

In the meantime I'll stick with my Shadow vote.

[Quailman]

I don't think Quail has checked in yet... does he know that game has started?

And maybe Quail needs a reminder about the game.

Some people occasionally have a life outside of mafiascum. That first comment was 24 hrs after daybroke on a RL Saturday night. I don't need a reminder.

vote: Talitha

*nod*
Acceptable. I suppose one could say the reaction you gave was a twitchy OMGUS. What're you on a tin roof for?

Make the game go faster?
You're a good target as any, eh?

Hahahahahahahahahahahaahahahaha!
Btw...you are misinterpreting and/or twisting

my

words now.
Random?

You're either intentionally misinterpreting my words or lazy, neither of which is a particularly welcome townie attribute.

Well, I double posted primarily to respond to The Shadow. The hole comment aimed at you was supposed to go in the earlier post. I forgot and I couldn't edit, eh?
Nonexistant hypocrisy? Perhaps. Perhaps it's the existance of something else.

Wow. Aspersions on my townieness right off the bat eh?
What a

subtle

way of deflecting from your own alignment.

No - "that wouldn't help

us

" as townies are apt to say.
"Townie attribute"? No mention of your own inclinations? I find people loathe to lying in the game. This is how they make up for that. Subliminally!

Two things:
Define a "townie"
How am I being lazy? Pray tell...

Oh and

intentionally misinterpreting

? There's no such thing really. That would only happen if I'm a townie so convinced that you're scum that I might see a tell in everything. I think.

Intentionally misrepresenting

? That is what I would do as scum.

So, in your own words, what am I?

Some people occasionally have a life outside of mafiascum.

Wha??
Lies!!

[help im a bug]

So, in your own words, what am I?

A townie (and I have no idea if you have any abilities or not) looking for an easy lynch of a newbie. That's how you're being lazy.

That's also why I'm not voting for you; I really don't think you're scum. I do, however, find it amusing that the best you can do is hint at nebulous "something else"s and subliminal messages.

So, my recommendation to you is that you apply your

subtle

hinting tactics on someone else, who might actually be scum. If you want to pile people on me and force a role claim, however, I'm fine with that as well.

That's a mouthful coming from a guy who keeps his stats updated. You have NEVER been a townie before, eh?

[help im a bug]

No, not in a completed game (or one where I've died) on mafiascum. And is there some stigma against keeping stats updated? I figured it would just be a way for my sig to be nominally useful to myself, at least. I had considered having a sig quote of Phoebus saying "a bug you may be, but infinitely wise you are," but decided against it.

I don't see what my sig has to do with what you quoted, anyhow. Yours, on the other hand, has gotten a certain song stuck in my head now. Which, I suppose, I don't mind too much

[Phoebus]

A townie (and I have no idea if you have any abilities or not) looking for an easy lynch of a newbie.

Now I think it's time to be insulted.
You think I'd be that careless as a townie?
I'm sorry. No.
You can go check for previous precedence. I'm not shy about proclaiming my bandwagons for being what they are.
But I've been told by people to be "thick skinned" and as such, I'm not insulted. Oh but I'm ticked off!

I do, however, find it amusing that the best you can do is hint at nebulous "something else"s and subliminal messages.

Well, the best I can do is play by my gut and it's served me fairly well in recent times. No reason to change strategy. That's what I'm doing here.
I'm not below apologising to people I was wrong about, but at this time, I think you're scum. You have agreed to role claim. You never deny being scum. Perhaps you are not technically scum but an SK. Maybe you have a "safe claim". There are a myriad of possibilities.

I'm going by my gut and by your strategy, we might as well pile votes on you.
Frankly, I'm inclined to call you lazy for being so smug and/or laid back about letting a bandwagon build up and subsequently role claim. Why don't you try and find scum if you're not it?
