Not only is your vote not on bell, you have not articulated a single reason to suspect he is mafia.

Your only mention of him I can find is this:
In post 26, PookyTheMagicalBear wrote: bell is mafia btw

my work here is done
And his posts prior to your post 26 have no major feature, except the note about his role being able to take players out of the thread, which you've yet to comment on in any way.

All you've done is make posts in communist/union speak with no substance.
That's just how Pooky rolls. I'd judge them later when we are at a more substantial point in the game.
Are you saying that PookyTheMagicalBear plays in a poor quality manner all the time as some sort of joke? I don't see what past games have to do with the fact that he is ignoring the content of Bell's limited posting while calling him mafia, while also not actively voting for him or trying to convince people that he is mafia, in any way?

Please explain, I am very confused now.

I have to admit I don't much see the point in the excessive role play in a logic game, but clearly with the amount of people participating, they cannot all be mafia? It's just baffling to me but to each their own, I suppose. My point stands though that Pooky's yet to address the point. And the others appear to be role play posting in a way that conveniently skips out on addressing anything that could be alignment oriented in the posting so far.

I'm going to do my best to adjust to ignoring it. But, if the mafia team happens to have most of the role playing posters in it, I reserve the right to be smug in the post game even if we lose.

This makes no sense. You addressed it by.... refusing to address it. Or vote it.

I can't help it when you scum claim on the first page

but you are a good friend so I'm not actually going to vote you unless I can't find any of your scumbuddies and one thing I've learned over the years is that sometimes keeping scum alive so they have to awkwardly interact with their team is better than bringing them instant justice.

also its probably not all that enjoyable for you to get pushed by me extremely hard right out of the gate so I just wanted to let you know I think you're mafia but let you work your way out of the read or maybe give up your teammates to me.

one or the other

LTO’s approach is hard to differentiate between hard nosed because they’re role playing a hard nose or an actual hard nose.

I don’t actually know what a hard nose is.

LTO, if I may ask. How many games of mafia have you played, what do you enjoy about mafia, do you normally write like this?

Do you think that Pooky not being forthcoming is frustrating? Suspicious?

Nobody is voting me yet.

I think. Why not call out temporal lich /RH hydra for not voting me instead even though they have a slight scum lean too?
