@ EB

I meant to type EB, not ED. I am on my phone and shortened names are better for me.

I am sorry if you think I am attacking you, I can assure you I am not, I just don't trust you right now because since about page 3 or 4 I have had you down as a possible lurker to kee my eye on, so I don't think you have earned the right to walk around declaring yourself obv town and saying I am not.

and I am not sure who you think I am "soft defending" but I can assure you I am not defending anyone.

I am reluctant to anyone who tries to take charge because I never know their allignment.

the last game I played with Parama, he went off on a tangent about how awesome he is at catching scum and everyone followed him, he was scum and won the game

another game i was in, spyrex had everyone follow him, and he was town but lost the game in lylo

yet another game Slaxx had everyone thinking he was obv town, and he was a SK and almost won the game, but luckily he gave up after a mod error in the night kill, if that did not occur I am 100% sure he would have convinced DK to vote with him and he would have won as an SK

Sure past games mean squat in THIS game, but all 3 have been in the short time I have been on MS so it goes to my biased toward "leaders", so i apologize but when 2 out of 3 times the "town leader" is scum, I am skeptical of any town leader and for me it is like I said earlier, a HUGE leap of faith.

[Beck]

edit: parama won by bussing one of is scum buddies btw

[Thomith]

adding to what Beck said leaders are only sometimes scum, and obviously shouldn't be assumed that all town leaders are scum.

[Evil Bullet]

Yeah yeah I know how it is. My first game on this site I was scum and everyone thought I was obvtown and I was about to win it for my team but the SK killed me on the last night because he was trying to hit town. He had claimed SK the day before and he got quicklynched and town won. I don't see the point of your stories. I really believe RD is town obviously I'm town to myself if not all of you so I don't have a problem with leaders this game.

Mod: I'm voting hiphop

I think he has you down for hip

It shows hip is L-3

Thom, you need to switch to hip really

[GreyICE]

The finger pointing died down, and the serious discussion began. Accusations sounded less wild, more like grim certainties. The accused children could feel the weight of those fingers pressing into them.

Were they real children? If so, nothing would save them, and they'd join their friends quietly taken on the trail, join Hoopla, join their teacher. Killed by their friends, their last thoughts that some of the faces staring at them as they died were imposters, those they had failed to find in time to save themselves, save their friends.

Were they fairies? They faced little better. The Lord of the Hunt has no pity for those of his own who fall, who become prey. The Wild Hunt will hunt as it does, and if it hunts a former huntsman, well, prey is much the same when teeth are tearing into warm flesh.

Despite the chill, brows were sweaty.

Were they on the right track?

I'll tell you tonight, sweetie, now stop bothering me when I'm getting ready for work.

Parama,

Would the town prefer if I do the vote counts alphabetically, or by largest wagon? It makes little matter to me, it started this way and I've been rolling with it, but if it's easier for people another way, I can change.

Current VLAs

~none~

Prod/Replacement Status

cloudocean has been prodded. He has 14 hours to post, or I will begin searching for a replacement.

Deadline

The day will end in:

(expired on 2011-08-31 21:00:00)

[Rainbowdash]

Posting from lunch break at work so no pictures for you this time, this needs to be said though about VCs

@mod

- Can you orginize the votes in chronological order instead of alphabetical? It helps with visualization. For player list either by number or alphabetical is fine, but I would prefer to see the votes in chronological.

That said wow the hiphop wagon actually looks all town at this point. Two (maybe even all three??) on Thomith, one off.

See you all again in around three hours.

[GreyICE]

Official Moderator Note

If your vote is not at the start of a line and bolded, it will not count as a vote from this point forward.

Will tweak VC process to preserve chronological order, this counting was a bit of an experiment that might not be working out.

[Thomith]

Thom, you need to switch to hip really

I am not voting for someone who i don't think is scum, sorry but no.

[Voidedmafia]

I like a grand total of one of your posts.

...And why is that again?

[Thomith]

I don't think scum would draw as much attention to themselves as hiphop has by leading my wagon, it just doesn't make sence to me.

[Beck]

How long have you played mafia?

[Thomith]

since January. What does that matter? Why would mafia draw that much attention to themselves so early on day 1.

[weirdvoigts]

I have been out of town for a family emergency. I apologize.

I do not like the fact that after 11 pages of content, I would be someone's number 1 suspect for lurking. You lynch lurkers day one when there is no better option. There must be better options at this point that someone who hasn't even been online.

For instance:
VOTE: thomith

Have you read the entire game?

@Thomith:

Thing is in this example scum got powers if you died, in this game it doesn't seem like you do, in the example giving up sort of helped your faction but (as scum) in this game giving up hinders it.
UNVOTE: VOTE: Hiphop
Even you should know the difference between the example and the game.

hiphop when i flip town don't do what you are saying you are going to do by basically giving up. Keep posting as

I

think you are town

, but when i flip town rethink your reads, who is scummy after my flip, who seems town after my flip, think about those things and town can win, just giving up though lessens the towns thinking power unneeded by 1.

I truly believe these posts conflict with each other.

I agree. Thomith, are you saying here that you're voting a town read, or what?

[Thomith]

weird read the thread i already answered the question, i am not answering it again.

[Beck]

since January. What does that matter? Why would mafia draw that much attention to themselves so early on day 1.

You do realize the person strongest on the wagon usually gets looked at last if their reason was good enough?

It's the people who slip on the wagon for little or no reason

If Hip got you lynched, he could easily do what I did and post a body of your scummy play and people would beleive him.

His refusal to consider anyone but you right now is what makes me and others skeptical of him

[weirdvoigts]

weird read the thread i already answered the question, i am not answering it again.

So why'd you vote him in the first place?

-bvoigt

[Thomith]

about the people who slip on the wagon for little or no reason, i feel this is more scummy than being the ringleader, which is why i find slueth more scummy than hiphop.

p-edit i have already posted it to a response to voided i believe but just for you-

I voted in the first place because my views made me vote you to prove you wrong, i unvoted because i would prefer to be voting someone who i think is scum than someone i think is town.

[weirdvoigts]

Actually, I see that was also answered. I guess I skipped Voided's entire wallpost. But it still doesn't make any sense that you would vote anyone "to prove them wrong" rather than because they were scum, even if it was only for a short time.

-bvoigt

(Ninja'ed.)

[Sleuth]

No I haven't read the entire thread. I don't generally put a lot of effort into mafia under the circumstances of my absence.

Anyway, I'm fairly annoyed that Beck and Thomith are calling my vote an omgus. Maybe we should concern ourselves more with accuracy than painting. Correct me if I was wrong in my previous post, but I understood myself to be Thomith's #1 suspect. As a lurker. On day one. After 250+ posts (only one of which was mine).

That is scum trying to find an easy target. Calling it so is not an omgus.

[Beck]

Why not catch up before voting?

You voting him because he voted you for lurking is basically OMGUS.

Personally you aren't lurking, you are flaking but regardless neither is particularly useful though

Read up please and post more so we actually have something to read you on.

[GreyICE]

The experience of a story hinges upon details. But not always the details you think. To one reader it might be the taste of the air, another a small stone well. The rough texture of those stones as a child climbs up to reach for the rope, the way the rough rope bites into his hands as he draws the bucket up, laboriously. The way his breath catches on the chill winter air, the way the grey sky seems to taunt him. The child considers - has it been a mere hour since he woke up? Or endless days? The grey sky, the grey world, they would consume both.

To the listener, these small details define a story. The identity of a major character might do less for the listener than the image of that small, scared child drawing water from the well beneath the unchanging sky. For stories, after all, are just one step from dreams.

And are dreams one step from reality?
