Mafia 75: Return of the Mafia! TOWN WINS (really late)

[armlx]

K7 may be fairly useless, but that's sort of how he rolls. I don't see how that's any worse than, say, rosso carne. Or tlp. Who should be lynched. I'm just saying.

I've come to agree with this logic, hence the reason Killa isn't higher on my scummy list.

best post yet.

Anyone else would be insulted by TSPN's comment. Of course, because you care solely about survival, you are just relieved to see someone bailing you out, right?

@Lloyd- An interesting decision. Ive never seen anyone do that before in any game. You must have alot of faith in me as a scumhunter, and as far as affiliation goes. Or is this a test of sorts?

Miller masons vote as a bloc

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Battle Mage, your 17th post.

Could you justify this statement? I find lurkerscum to be threats because they don't give any material to the town, so you don't think about them, and then they survive and are out of suspicion. This in its very nature is threatening, is it not?

I was talking about the 100% lurkers. The other part who post just enough to stay in the game give off signs. Still, they are of a lesser threat because they will not lead the town, which frequent posters are capable of doing.

[Battle Mage]

ok KScope.

@Lloyd- miller masons??

[Imat]

Only explanation I have for Lloyd's recent miller masons comment is that...Masons vote together, and since you have his vote to use as well, and you are a claimed Miller, Lloyd becomes a Miller Mason? Other than that, I can't make heads or tails of why anybody would post a comment like that except to claim...

Can a Mason even be a Miller? Or vise versa?

[Battle Mage]

Masons vote together?
what kind of wierd mechanic is this?
A mason can be a miller, but i dont get how a mason comes into it.

[dahill1]

maybe he's saying that he is a miller and millers should stick together (like masons), so your vote is his vote?

[Matt_S]

I dislike Lloyd's proxy vote very much. It seems like an excuse to lurk since the vote will still be moving around.

[dahill1]

well he could still lurk with a vote, but you're right no vote gives him an excuse somewhat

[UnofficialRulerOfEveryone]

Agreed. And his miller mason comment confuses me. Although he said this proxy vote was just for a day, it might have been an attempt to get himself out of the spotlight.

[Lloyd]

because that's just my style, i don't vote early.

thenextepisode, beside playstyle, any other reasons why you don't vote early?

This is the first full sized game here that I was able to start in from the very beginning. My other games here I either joined into them after the wagon stuff was over, or it was a game with time and post limits, so band wagons were not going to be prevalent anyway. A majority of games I have played were offsite. They have all had 48 hour day phases and 24 hour night phases. There, literally, you can vote on someone and log off only to learn they were lynched an hour later.

So, maybe that is why I tend to be more cautious with my vote.

In contrast, I like Antithesis' explanation why he is more cautious with his vote than most players in this game.

[dahill1]

lloyd,
can you explain the whole miller mason thing?
and also what do you think BM will do with your vote

[Lloyd]

dahill1, I'll explain what you are asking another time, but not now.

Lurkerscum are no threat if they really lurk.

Could you justify this statement? I find lurkerscum to be threats because they don't give any material to the town, so you don't think about them, and then they survive and are out of suspicion. This in its very nature is threatening, is it not?

Regarding lurkerscum, I agree with Khelvaster, and disagree with Kaleidoscope.

Lurkerscum is always a threat, because he / she can kill townies at night.

In a game of this size:
- 2 weeks: If someone doe not post every 2 weeks, he / she should be prodded
- 3 weeks: If someone doe not post every 3 weeks, he / she should be prodded a second time
- 4 weeks: If someone does not post after 4 weeks, he / she should be replaced unless he / she has a posting restriction

If someone does not post after 4 weeks, has no post restriction, AND Refuses to be replaced, then I am going to assume that he / she is scum.

[armlx]

You are generous with the time you give Lloyd. I give them 2, 3 wks max before I attack and even less if they posted something implying they were going to be non-interactive.

[dahill1]

dahill1, I'll explain what you are asking another time, but not now.

hmm interesting
i feel compelled to trust you for some reason
so i will for now

[Lloyd]

rosso didn't vote me, he "killed" me.
he might be a dayvig, he might be joking.
either way, its not a vote, so theres only one vote on me from incognito.

/prodded

Post 674 is completely pointless, I wonder why nobody said anything about it.

I sorta missed post 674 in reading. He needs to post real content now.

I dislike thenextepisode's post 674 as well. If he doesn't post something useful by Mar 19th, then I'm going to assume that he's scum per my 4-week rule that I outlined a few posts ago.

[thenextepisode]

because that's just my style, i don't vote early.

thenextepisode, beside playstyle, any other reasons why you don't vote early?

because on day 1, i feel like there are never any legitimate reasons to vote.

[Lloyd]

on day 1, i feel like there are never any legitimate reasons to vote.

Your playstyle is different. I'll grant you that. I'm curious what you consider as legitimate reasons then.

- What do you consider as legitimate reasons to vote on day 2?

- Would they be reasons that don't exist on day 1?

[WhoMe?]

well,

I'm not liking the proxying. How can we analyse someone's voting pattern, when they weren't placing their own posts? Also not liking the backdoor implication of miller masonhood.

confirm vote Lloyd

[curiouskarmadog]

going to be gone this weekend, going to attempt to get caught up next week.

[Battle Mage]

maybe he's saying that he is a miller and millers should stick together (like masons), so your vote is his vote?

lol if he claims miller, he is scum. A game with 2 millers is nothing short of a Bastard Mod.
My gut tells me that because Lloyd is getting a fair bit of heat for this, odds are the pressure is being fueled by at least 1 scumbag, and as such, its a probable towntell.

Though id still like an explanation of the miller-mason thing.

"And a claimed Miller shall lead them..."

Just a quick meaningless mod opinion: Funniest Post of the Game so far. Keep up the good work!

I'm nominating this for a Scummy. If you agree that it was hilarious, please go here and vote:

QFT hadn't thought of that

[Peers]

However, it might be fueled by a -bussing- scumbag.
