Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

In post 1998, Josh_B wrote:@mala. I can't tell the difference between hiding scum and hiding masons. They both have the same informed minority features. I'd say this game is like multiball, but one of the scum teams win with the town.


if you are town you shouldn't even be hunting for the masons at all. I can understand actively trying to make sure not to wagon them is a thing, but it's annoying and makes you go crazy. It's exactly why I can't think of a mulitball game as multiball because if I hunt for Mafia Team X and Mafia Team Y, I doubt every single one of my reads and go crazy in thread. I'm always the worst player in a multiball game. So just don't go looking for masons even if you think it might be a good thing to try and avoid them.
No matter how high the stakes, sooner or later you're just gonna have to go with your gut.
And maybe, just maybe, that'll take you right where you were supposed to be.

What is with the groups of dinguses trying to kill me for next to nothing this game.

I don't get it.

@

- That's my case on Pea yeah.

I don't think many people have paid attention to it though. Unless they're waiting for Pea to respond first.

In post 1990, Nero Cain wrote:nope. I know Josh is misreading like crazy so maybe he's wrong about Wisdom saying that he knows that I was town but lets pretend that Josh is telling the truth (and not misreading) and Wisdom had said that he knew I was town. Why do you think town would say that?

Wisdom tends to be very definite in his reads, until he does a 180 degree turn on them, so it's quite possible he said that as town (no, I haven't checked). I don't think that in his case it's a scum tell.


In post 1995, Malakittens wrote:Yeah. I'm not as comfortable with the Uct lynch as I was days ago. You shouldn't be either.

What have I missed? I've just been all through his ISO again and I'm not seeing it. Unless it's something from his meta, which I still haven't got round to looking at yet.


In post 2006, BlueBloodedToffee wrote:Unless they're waiting for Pea to respond first.

This. But his inconsistencies are among the things that got him on my scumlist. By the way, I think your first link should be to , not 328.

You're right Huntress, my bad.

I'm going to have to really focus and work out what it really is. But it's late at night and I can't take the necessary time right now.

Looking forward to the elaboration on this as well.

Dave needs to elaborate on this and actually do what he said he was going to.

Because Metal Sonic gave me a headache to read at all, and then Wisdom did that big 180, and several other people keep shifting around (don't remember which ones bother me the most) so my read on pretty much the whole game is shot to hell right now.

You're being vague Dave. Who else bothered you, you're here now, put some time and effort into this game because I'm not seeing much from you.

If someone was legit bothering you, you wouldn't need to read, you would already know who you thought was scum or who you wanted to question.

You said you needed to read it a full two days ago.

Are you having difficulty reading?

Ok.

Shall we all sit here and say we'll do things but never actually get round to doing them?

Yeah, let's do that. We'll figure this game out for sure doing that.

And I don't want to start berating people for not trying hard enough anyway.

If he doesn't play, he's probably going to get lynched at some point for doing nothing. But that's besides the point right now because I don't see him as one of my prime lynch targets for today.

This is probably going to happen. We're 4 days out so it's about time we coalesce and stop dicking around. Let's go.

Let's revisit this post.

In post 1982, Josh_B wrote:I have Mala, GM, and Davesaz as town.
Peabody is town, but I'm less sure.

That leaves BBT and Shinobi claiming to know that each other is town, but claiming to not be masons.
And that Leaves
Wisdom/MS and Nero/heph claiming that each other is town.

I'm definitely thinking that one group is scum. Are they scum or are they masons? or are neither of them scum, and neither of them masons.
It's like it's multiball only one team is town and one team is scum.


Without getting into masons again, I have a big question about your comment that the Wisdom/MS and Nero/heph slots are claiming each other as town. Can you point to the places where these slots actually said that, in a definite way? Not just a read between the lines joking around type incident, but where they actually meant it?
