Good Omens Mafia! Game Over.

[JDTAY]

I'm still here, I'm just more of a Day 5 player than a Day 1 player. Wake me up when we hit Day 5.

My vote stands.

[Desperate Heart]

Vote: Coron

.

As much as I hate PB and his 'I only post votes!' thing I can't honestly say that he's scummier, just that he plays poorly and I hate him.

[Coron]

How many votes is that?

MOD

WHERE ARE YOU?

[Seol]

How many votes is that?

MOD

WHERE ARE YOU?

Geez. Ever heard of "reading"? I would have thought you cared more about how many votes you had than I did. Damn, it's Saturday night, I should have better things to do than count your votes for you.

Still 9, you've got one new vote but Peacebringer unvoted you to vote Gaspode.

Oh, and by the way:

Prelim claim: I'm protown.

[Coron]

I wasn't asking you, I was asking the mod, you know the person with the official voting and stuff.

[Seol]

Oh, ok. I thought I'd try to be helpful, as it's not really too tricky to count them. Is there some special counting technique the mod uses that is alien to us players?

Wait, actually, it's conceivable there might be some vote-manipulation going on, so you do have a point. For some reason, I've been feeling strangely sarcastic and intolerant today.

Ah, yes, I remember why - I've been playing this game too much.

But in any case, did you seriously think that claiming pro-town means jack shit?

[Coron]

Nah, not really, but it's true.

[rolandofthewhite]

I don't think PB is scum, because I just played NYPD with him, and that's how he plays, distractedly and not really caring.

[Seol]

Nah, not really, but it's true.

See, this is why we have a bandwagon on you. Here, you're telling us something you want us to believe (which may or may not be true), but not giving us any reason to believe you. Arguments like "I'm protown" or "Aelyn is acting scummy, read his posts to see why" aren't arguments. There are two problems with this.

Firstly, if we don't know your reasons, we don't know that there

are

any reasons. You might have genuine good reason to (for example) suspect Aelyn is scum, but until you tell us your reasons we don't know whether you're picking up on specific, potentially important points or just following your gut (and we don't know how reliable your gut is) - so we don't know how much credence to give your opinions.

Secondly, and this is more important, if you don't explain why you're doing something while you're doing it, then it's entirely possible you're doing it for scummy reasons. I'm not saying it's not possible to commit scummy acts whilst coming up with convenient pro-town reasons, but it's much harder and you run the risk of trapping yourself in an inconsistency or lie while you do it - and as such, any tendency to try to avoid explaining your actions as you go along is potentially scummy. Any reluctance to provide proper explanations

when requested

is definitely scummy, as it implies you either didn't have one, or you don't want to share it with the town (because it's scummy).

Yes, I know you provided an explanation for your suspicions of Aelyn, but only after numerous requests (at that point, I was simply ignoring you - as I do to anyone who doesn't provide thought processes). Trouble is, it all smacks of trying too hard - too many inconsequential (not subtle - just meaningless) points added to try and bolster your case. Do I think Aelyn looks perfectly clean? No, I don't - there have been some good points made against him. However, you seem all to eager to get everyone behind you based on, essentially, nothing. It's that which I find scummy, and that's why I'm voting for you.

[Coron]

I say I'm protown because I am. I state why Aelyn looks scummy, you know all the small stuff, because AS I STATED EARIER

Perhaps I could go through as say which words exactly set it off, but as I'm going over I'm not like specifically analizing looking for specific words, so you could say it is gut.

I don't know exactly what it was, I assume it was some sort of combination of the things I stated and other things in the posts. I posted them all because I DON'T KNOW.

[Seol]

I say I'm protown because I am.

Or because you're not, and you want us to think you are. I mean, come on - think about this, who would ever say they

weren't

protown? Saying that

doesn't tell us anything

and is just noise. Volunteering

that

as a "preliminary roleclaim" is entirely pointless.

I don't know exactly what it was, I assume it was some sort of combination of the things I stated and other things in the posts. I posted them all because I DON'T KNOW.

Well, if you don't know why you find him scummy, how on earth do you expect to convince the rest of us?

[Coron]

My gut says he's scum, so you should listen to my gut.

[Locus Cosecant]

My gut says he's scum, so you should listen to my gut.

I thought I told you to shape up...

You're sounding like IS.

[Coron]

Read my sig, and I quote "IS is my idol"

[Aelyn]

Ugh, this game is now getting SLOW. There's been plenty posted in the last few days, but there's been almost nothing posted about the game as opposed to Coron's playing style or similar things.

I agree we need an

official vote count, please?

But aside from that... I'm not gonna chip in again until I see something worthy of comment. I might re-read the game to date to see if I can glean any new insights.

[Coron]

See, that's the play style that REALLY bugs me, oh I'll sit back and wait for something to jump on you about because I'm scum.

[Coron]

That was what aleyn said not me if you didn't understand that.

[Aelyn]

My God, you really do idolise IS, don't you?

The last two pages have almost entirely been debates about your playstyle. What can I really say about that? I read the thread every day, and it's been about three days since I saw anything worth commenting on (I think).

Perhaps a better thing to say would be "We need everyone to talk, not just a quarter of the town." Nevertheless, the point is EXACTLY THE SAME. There's simply no reason for me to contribute right now, so I'm not going to. I don't want to clog the thread up with useless issues.

I gave the reason I wasn't saying anything; namely there was almost nothing to say anything about. I wasn't saying that I'm gonna wait until I can jump on somone, I was saying that I'm gonna wait until I can actually say something useful.

[Coron]

unvote vote Aelyn

This is where I want my vote.

[Locus Cosecant]

Read my sig, and I quote "IS is my idol"

unvote, vote Coron

This is what happens when you suffer IS to live.

[Coron]

good reasoning there [/sarcasm] no way in hell that's better than my reasoning, doesn't make him scum though.

[Seol]

Woo, Locus v the IS mentality. Time to settle back with some popcorn, should be fun to watch...

[Coron]

That mentality, Seol, is the one thing I hate most in a mafia player.

[Stewie]

See, that's the play style that REALLY bugs me, oh I'll sit back and wait for something to jump on you about because I'm scum.

Which is exactly what gaspode did.

[Seol]

That mentality, Seol, is the one thing I hate most in a mafia player.

What, the IS mentality (which I thought you appreciated)? Or my comment about trouble brewing?
