Vote: Haut Boy

because I'm tired from getting lost around my state and could use a boy to unwind.

Something wrong with the statement "could use a boy to unwind".

Duh.

[TrustGossip]

I think it's a bad sign when scumchat is making me more gay than usual. I am making BlackBerry look like Mitt Romney.

[TrustGossip]

Unvote: Vote teffc

because your replacement in the mini we were in is unhelpful, lol.

Also because I got a booty call, I don't need Haut Boy anymore.

[TrustGossip]

remu, I think that's a little bit of an overreaction. There isn't much suspicious about an L-3, why the big fuss?

[TrustGossip]

I don't think I'm supposed to discuss a game that's ongoing, even if I just identify it.

@Yogurt, if you don't think random voting is productive, why do you keep doing it? XD

[TrustGossip]

Not really holding my breath, it's called summer classes and a typically asinine start of Day One (this is only half-sarcasm, I would prefer not to be labeled counterproductive).

In the interests of renewing productivity, would it be too early to make little behavioral analyses on everyone? I find that even if scum use it to slander innocents, it generally provides good information from intelligent townspeople.

remus's latest post on MafiaScum was on Friday. He's been inactive for the weekend at least.

Aceiks, I think you are doing far too much overspeculation, and worse it's incredibly specific and is mostly baseless or at least based upon information that you don't have. That doesn't read well.

Also,

Unvote

my random.

[TrustGossip]

I just got prodded.

Nothing important or significant has really happened since I last posted.

*rapidly grows bored again and leaves*

Hi, sorry. Work is finally getting to me. I have to do writeup summaries of three games I'm in so expect one within the next two days or so.

[TrustGossip]

Not available until Saturday.

remus, self-voting is bad. It makes you look scummy.

I can't think of anything else to say. Granted, I haven't read this thread since my last post, and this is the least interesting out of all my games. I will try to do a reread and post some stuff. I will also try, for the first time, to post summaries in a casual manner, instead of overthinking my syntax and being self-conscious.

[TrustGossip]

Ok, this is how I am seeing the game right now.

The people that are active in the game (Aceiks, remus, and sonicpulsar, and to a lesser extent QMan and Yellowbounder) are basically on an island. This island is called The Game, and they're playing it. Unfortunately the game can only really be played with a full complement of people, and all those people are lazily asleep on a raft in the ocean, in full view of the island and the active people. They need these people to play the game properly, and without them they're getting a little desperate. Some of these people even begin to play the game

improperly

and thus the active people on the island begin to look a little like savages. Now this isn't any good! Now if the lazy people on the raft want to get back on the island to play the game they'll have to worry about getting attacked by the savages!

Ok I'll stop the metaphor there. I'm proposing that we all cool our heads a little (this is mostly directed at remus) and kind of mentally reset ourselves and try to make this thread as neutral but *insert the opposite of desperate* as possible in order to make it appealing for the inactives to actually do something. Because even if I'm back, and suddenly making helpful posts doesn't mean that we can do much of anything without everyone back.

I have to admit my attitude about this game has been bad and I'm sorry for detrimenting the game in any way.

Ok, on to non-kumbaya-type stuff.

@remus, I understand your situation. You expressed your opinion about bandwagons and people attacked you for it. And since people have used your opinion as a weapon against you and not any sort of action, you can't really defend yourself. This is made even worse because most people aren't participating to an extent that they could be construed as scummy but participate just enough to keep a sizable wagon on you, and if they are ever questioned about it, they could just say that they don't really have any other ideas/options.

In summary:

Sorry for not checking up on this.

Vote: Remus

Any particular reason?
