Vote Count

Cornelius 5 (Boing, Zeppo, White, Lemming1607, competentpsycho)
Boing 1 (Max)
killerbob 1 (Cornelius)
White 1 (Mr. Mean)

Not Voting 4 (d3sisted, killerbob, skitzer, Neraren)

12 alive, 7 to lynch.

[competentpsycho]

no, you should have put him at -2 (wouldn't have been -1). Mafia aren't going to quick lynch from -2 on D1, that would be stupid and we would have 2 lynches the next 2 days with 3 nights to get investigations going for other mafia (not including night 0 which already had an investigation). The mafia would have little to no chance of winning in that situation. Hence, you are protecting Corn - distancing yet protecting at the same time.

[killerbob]

I see where you are coming from. That is why I am letting him sit at -2 till he can give his input. I am willing to vote for him should he not defend himself well.

[Zeppo]

I will wait to see what the Corn defense is going to be and maybe then I will put the -1 on him. Still

FoS: Cornelius

.

If it ever comes

[Lemming1607]

I think Corn has had plenty of time to defend himself and still hasn't come back to the thread. Think it's time to get on with day 2

[White]

124 looks terribly like damage control. Not liking it.

Lemming in 129 looks hasty. Not liking either of these at the moment.

Here's what i'm going to do for now.

Unvote, vote Mr Mean

Keep in mind i'm very ready to put my vote back on Corn but I want to see some pressure put here. Seems Mean has slid under the radar today.

[Zeppo]

I don't think that 129 is too hasty at all.

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.

I get tired of having day 1 drag on and on just because someone is either a) not making time for the game or, more likely in this case I think, b) lying low to let the suspicion on them drop by making it look like they can't make time for the game. I think corn should post or hang.

[White]

The general consensus among the great hitters of our time is that lurking is NOT a playstyle.

[Zeppo]

Can you clarify what you mean by that? Just that Cornelius is most likely to be genuinely too busy to post to defend himself rather than lying low?

[d3sisted]

Mod: a prod on cornelius please?

If he's responding to prods and intentionally lurking, we lynch. If he's inactive, we replace.

[Erg0]

Cornelius has been prodded

[White]

Can you clarify what you mean by that? Just that Cornelius is most likely to be genuinely too busy to post to defend himself rather than lying low?

Sure I can clarify. Many people, when scum, decide to lurk and call it their playstyle so that they don't receive flak from it. Look at Jdodge, he lurks, don't contribute and generally doesn't do anything protown and calls it a playstyle. It's not. Lurking is not a playstyle. It's a scummy actions.

[d3sisted]

JDodge's style is extremely cryptic. If you're going to play mafiascum with him, you'd better accept this fast.

[White]

Which is why it's a good thing we're not discussing it. I simply used it as a point of reference (he's told me btw, lurking is a key part of it) and that's all. I'm not bashing or anything. I can see how what I said did come across that way, so that would be my fault. Sorry.

[Zeppo]

So... you think Corn is most likely scum too?

[White]

I think we've got a good chance of hitting scum if we lynch him and i'd also really like more participation from Mean. (not sure if it was directed toward me)

[Cornelius]

Ok, you guys want me to explain myself, and why you shouldn't vote for me? Here it is: I am a townie. Don't know what else to say besides that. Any sort of rationalization or "explanation" I come up with can be interpreted however people want. Also, I love how people are like "your suspicion of White is OMGUS! His action of telling people not to quick-lynch you was a townie action! Mafia wouldn't do that!" As if a mafia player has never, ever, in the history of the game, made a move that appears pro-town, in order to avoid suspicion. Are you telling me this is impossible? You guys keep saying "mafia like quick-lynches!!" So what if <gasp> a mafia member acted like they didn't want a quick-lynch, in order to appear like a townie? Not that much of a stretch, guys.

unvote

vote: White

[skitzer]

Somehow now your just grasping at straws. Unvoting was a waste of my time.

vote: Cornelius

[d3sisted]

...That's it?

Well that was certainly very anticlimactic.

[Cornelius]

Ok, so be it. Have fun being at one less townie instead of possibly finding a mafia on day 1. I'll be laughing when the mod posts that I was a townie and you were all wrong

[skitzer]

You've just committed one too many wrongs, the first being so hysterical at the fact that and OMGUS vote was committed against you.

Your fate is pretty much up to other people now, and how they take your pleas.

[d3sisted]

Yeah, I've heard that one so many times.

Unvote; vote: cornelius

L-1 guys.

[White]

Corn, you just OMGUS'd me again. You didn't present any case against me. Your whole theory that i'm scum is because I suggested a protown manuever? Honestly I think it's much more likely that a town manuever came from a town person. You are right though, there is a chance that it came from a mafia and it is true that mafia have done it in the past. But saying i'm scum because I did something that would be much more likely for a town to do BUT A SCUM MIGHT DO IT TOO is pretty far fetched.

Why, in the world, did you claim on past 6?

[White]

I'll hammer in a minute, just want 2 more things from Corn.

1! I want you to answer why you claimed on post 6.

2 and most importantly! I want your opinions of EVERYONE. Ie. White has been pushing my lynch this whole day, he's been over aggresive and seems really really scummy to me.

Don't use that btw, use your own words.

[d3sisted]

Well to be fair, he is in immediate danger of a lynch, so a claim is justified. It's just that the "I don't care if I'm lynched, I'm town so it's your loss if you vote me" shit doesn't phase.
