Rules:
* Remember, it’s a game. It’s supposed to played. It’s supposed to be fun. Do your part.
* Votes must be in bold. If you do not bold your vote, it will not be counted.
* Please be attentive and unvote, if necessary, before casting a new vote. This is not required, but I’d appreciate it.
* Lynches will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, his pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded. You may vote: no lynch – majority votes of this kind are necessary to end the day without a death.
* Once your death scene has been posted, you’re dead. Stop typing.
* Don’t edit/delete previously submitted posts
* Don’t quote any PMs from me.
* If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. I will not wait for you – if you do not submit a choice to me, tough! No choice will be made.
* If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
* Remember, it’s a game. It’s supposed to played. It’s supposed to be fun. Do your part.
* You may only discuss outside of the thread if you are mafia. No other players may discuss outside.

Welcome to Mafiascum!

[Niempie]

Vote: LyingBrian

Just because Random.org told me.

[MeMe]

vote: NerdNetworkAdmin

Any friend of sprontalic...deserves a vote.

[DragonsofSummer]

Vote: Thesp

because random.org rocks!

[Riverwind23]

hmmm, two games with you, dragonofsummer? i smell a conspiracy! or maybe that's a fart?

[Thesp]

Vote: Thesp

because random.org rocks!

Apparently it doesn't. I hear that random.org punches babies.

[DragonsofSummer]

I was being sarcastic... I just wanted to say something besides that I voted for you. And I will have to investigate the punching of babies. That is a wrong that must be punished!

[LyingBrian]

vote: MeMe

putting a second vote on a newbie just b/c they're a friend of somebody is a scum tell...

[NerdNetworkAdmin]

Hmmm... My friend must have quite some reputation, that I am instantly condemned. I think that perhaps I agree with LyingBrian. MeMe seems entirely too eager to have someone lynched via association. It appears to merely be an excuse.

VOTE: MeMe

[MeMe]

Oh, brother. To

both

of you. But since LB's experienced...

unvote: NNA
vote: LyingBrian

[DragonsofSummer]

Hey MeMe... thats the second person you put a second vote on just because you could. I'm kinda curious whether you have any more explanation for the vote change than

Oh, brother. To both of you. But since LB's experienced...

.

FoS: MeMe

But on the other hand NNA seemed very happy to put a second vote on you... for no real reason. It may just be an OMGUS but I'll be watching it.

[MeMe]

thats the second person you put a second vote on just because you could.

Anyone with experience on this site knows that there could be no

real

reason for my vote on NNA at the time it was placed. Since LyingBrian is experienced, I find his statement that my vote was a scum tell to be ludicrous. I'm giving NNA the benefit of the doubt for the moment as he's new.

So, the first vote was "just because I could"

and

to see how NNA would respond. Instead, LB spewed some crap and now I'm actually voting someone who's raised my suspicion.

[DragonsofSummer]

Well thank you for elaborating on your voting reasons. But I still think it is a little suspicious. I do think you have an interesting point about LB though.

[LyingBrian]

Since LyingBrian is experienced, I find his statement that my vote was a scum tell to be ludicrous.

QFT

it's also known as sarcasm... you of all people should know when a person is voting w/ a DWA, MeMe... i was curious who, if anybody, would follow me w/ such a weak argument as the one i used... newb scum are more susceptible to being manipulated...

unvote:MeMe
FOS: NerdNetworkAdmin

[MeMe]

Well, heck. Sensible and believable reply.

unvote: LyingBrian

What's DWA?

[LyingBrian]

Deliberately Weak Argument...

[DragonsofSummer]

Hmmm... well now NerdNetworkAdmin does looks suspicious. I am inclined to

UnFoS:MeMe

because of his explanation of why he made his votes, and what happened with lyingbrian. NNA does look very suspicious now, but I'm not sure whether it is a newb tell or a scum tell, and this may be because I am new also.

[NerdNetworkAdmin]

My goodness.... The convolutions of doubt that plays in oneś mind as one reads these posts! As to my weak argument, at this stage in our game it is extremely difficult for one such as me, a newbie, to generate anything substantial against anyone.

MeMe does not sound like she has an agenda, and so I feel inclined to

unvote: Meme

, however, being a newbie I honestly cannot tell.

Perhaps due to his voting for me, but also because of the way in which he has no qualms about lynching anyone, and indeed, does so with gusto, without what I would feel to be substantial evidence, I am thinking that perhaps he is the Mafia.

MeMe is being more judicious in her manner, perhaps, which is not a trait that I would attach to someone attempting to covertly kill innocent townspeople.

DragonsofSummer seems, like me, to be a little dazed, and so I honestly do not know what to think of him.

The others have not yet spoken their thoughts much, so I cannot even hope to think much of them. However, perhaps their silence is also a way of avoiding attention, and so one, or indeed two, of them might be the mafia.

At this stage, I will not vote, but listen carefully, as we all should.

Townspeople, Unite! We must defeat the mafia.

[DragonsofSummer]

Perhaps due to his voting for me, but also because of the way in which he has no qualms about lynching anyone, and indeed, does so with gusto, without what I would feel to be substantial evidence, I am thinking that perhaps he is the Mafia.

Who is this directed to? Is it still towards MeMe? or is it towards someone else? I am wondering because you change the gender you are talking about but never give a name as to who the new person is.

[Thesp]

I'm hesitant to do this before we've even heard from one player, but

Unvote: NetworkNerdAdmin, Vote: MeMe, FOS: LyingBrian.

I'd be just as happy with my vote on LyingBrian, my theory is they're both scum. I have an alternate theory, but I want to see how this one plays out.

[LyingBrian]

@Thesp

yep, you caught us... that little argument was our distancing ourselves... good job!!!

oh wait, i should probably start using sarcasm tags shouldn't i?...

I'm hesitant to do this before we've even heard from one player

i'm curious which player you're talking about... we've heard from all the players, although we haven't had much contribution from either

Niempie

or

Riverwind23

i think i'll pressure

Vote: Riverwind23

, just b/c he contributed slightly less than Niempie, who at least bothered to vote, even if it was "random"...

[Niempie]

I am sorry that I haven't responded before, but I don't have the time right now to give a analysed responds. I am at work right now, but I promiss that I will come back to you tonight.
