    How about my track record? I've been dedicated to this site for years now, I came to work when I was on holiday on the other side of the world, & it sounds like I will have a bank of technicians at my back. Show some faith.

    As for my part, I promise not to turn you all into blue meanies or vanish utterly, ok?
    What he meant to point out is that in the past no one has looked over the technician's shoulder, so if you stopped logging into this site there would be no contact.

    There you go again with that "evidence" word.

    Would you be calling it evidence if I hadn't had the idea for the role in the first place? Do you have anything behavioral pointing towards me, or is it just my idea flipped right back at me?
    This claim is still ridiculous. just because you cut everyone to the quick doesn't mean that you're cleared. It literally amounts to nothing at all. Look up "Wine in front of me". It reffers to situations where you say or do something then later point out that you wouldn't have said or done that thing unless you wre town. But you could have looked ahead and said that thing in order to later say that you must be town because you said/ did something. But you might have not said it so the people who know you would act/talk a certain way would be on to you, ect. ect.

    The fact that you suggested the role, in the end, doesn't clear you at all.

    The fact that you're trying to hide behind it makes you scum.


    @greymon: I've got voxx as a poor town player. Tomm and G_D are buddies though. I'm far too lazy, but look where G_D posted tom as cleared as town right after Dork Knight was outed as town. Dork knight defended tom, but D_K was a vanilla townie on day one, how could D_K have known anything? That bit of fauly logic is pretty damning of G_D is scum.

    The gag order was deemed necessary because, at the time, we had asked if we could talk about the deal and Curse asked us to not do so. This was actually the case up until last night.

    We couldn't go public with absolutely 0 information. The best we'd have was "There may be a deal going on, but we have no details." This was deemed ill advised, especially since people were already speculating because there were no details.
    That's great and all, but you're forgetting that you confirmed a possible sale. While posting in the gutter. It wasn't a secret at all if you were following the only relevant gutter thread. In fact, if I recall correctly, you said something along the lines of "you guys are chill, so be cool." There was no statement that disscusion of the possible sale should be stopped in the gutter. Basically you said everything that you claim to know except the actual site curse.com. At that point anyone who had the slightest inkling of curiosity could have found out who the potential buyer was. I knew and I knew that everyone else knew. I didn't talk about it because there was nothing to say. kpaca got some bad info and posted about the sale where only mods and people who could view your post confirming the rumor could see it. Was it really that bad to put a name to the face? kpaca was only trying to find out what was really going on, albeit in his own way.

    You're not going to ban yourself formposting about the sale, so why ban kpaca?

    I think we have a 50% chance of hitting scum between me and Greymon.

    Obviously, I think it's him, but I don't think there's two town non-voting roles in the game. Modgaming, sure, but how is the town supposed to drive a lynch at D3 lylo if they have two townies that cannot vote? They literally cannot lynch scum if the scum choose not to bus, and that's not healthy game design with only two mislynches.

    Ximbad has never really been willing to consider Greymon, FWIW Zion.
    I concitered it, but he was able to vote no lynch, and the lynch threashhold was lowered regardless of where his vote was.
    Gandering dan claimed actor (I think that's the name) which means that he can't vote unless the vote is one away from lynch. Lynches occur before Dan gets a chance to vote. I do not believe his role claim. That makes him scum. Also Zeledrex didn't know his own role. HE DIDN'T KNOW HIS OWN ROLE. Maybe his claim was falsified.

    Uh.

    That kind of points ot Iso not even reading posts.

    Considering I pretty clearly stated that I didn't include town reads in the list of six people that I think the scum reside in.

    I don't think the logic I'm using is that hard to follow, though, in general.

    There are ten people alive.

    I'm town. I'll claim if need be, but it's honestly better served dealing with tomorrow - we only have 7-8 days left in this day, and I'm confident that I won't be lynched after the claim.

    That leaves 9 people.

    I think Reya is pretty solidly town after the claim - being able to give someone else a vig kill is not a scum role. If Reya fails to deliver on that, then it's an entirely different story, absolutely.

    That leaves 8 people.

    I have an extremely strong town read on Tom, and a lighter one on Iso.

    That leaves 6 people, with (presumably) 3 scum amongst them. You can include Iso in the list to make it 7 if you want, but I think he's town.

    Those six people are:
    Ximbad
    Manders
    Kpaca
    Zionite
    Greymon
    Ganderin_Dan

    I think Ximbad is the most likely to be scum, but I don't think he's a likely lynch today.

    So when 2 people that I have town reads on (Iso and Reya) vote for Manders, I was perfectly fine with pushing that wagon, as she has done nothing to make me believe she is town.

    My analysis is largely based on voting patterns, and interactions, but it is difficult to do either in a game that has been this inactive, has two people that can't vote, and that there's only been one lynch (with only 6 people on it, at that).

    I'd probably be more willing to consider Iso as scum if it wasn't for the fact that people I consider to be scummier have been pushing him as a lynch on day one, and now on day two.

    But as it stands, there's two people I'd be okay with lynching today.

    Manders, and Ximbad.

    I might be willing to vote Iso over no lynching, but that's only if something happens to change my read on him pretty drastically in the next few days. Because lynching people I think are town is kind of dumb.
    In order for this to be vadid we have to assume
    1 that you are town
    2 that you are really good at mafia.

    Yesterday you posted a list of four people that you were quite sure contained 100% of the mafia. Yanni Dork Knight me and kpaca. At least 50% of your reads were flat out wrong. Why are you still so sure that you're right now? You could very well be 100% wrong at every possible time this game.

    Almost your entire view of this game falls apart if I'm town. You're basically taken it as a given that I'm scum. So the fact that I am town means that every single piece of your analysis is inherently flawed.

    I figured we needed to lynch someone, mise well be manders. She's even worse than a non-voter, she's just decided to not play the game. Plus there was the time she said "you deserve every vote on you" to me. I don't see how saying that makes sense unless you're trying to mislynch. Plus there was a dork knight vote after the coast seemed clear and she called out for someone to hammer. That's enough for me for now. I'm still pretty sure G_D is scum, but that will be more clear after today's lynch (whoever gets lynched). But we do need to vote someone up to one below lynch.

    Voxx has been all over the place since the game started and continues to be as such. I don't think that makes him scum, though.

    I'd like to lynch gandering dan for not knowing his role at the start of day one and because his (claimed) role is a literal do-nothing if lynches happen a vote early, but there isn't really a chance of that happening. I guess manders could be scum, her votes on Dork knigght and reya seemed opportunistic enough. unvote vote:mandershex

    Why, exactly, again do you think Manders is scum?

    Mod: Can we get a prod on Knifehand, Ximbad, and Greymon?
    I've got no idea what's going on ITT. When things start making sense I might change my vote. For now I like it where it is.

    The creature will come into play without remembering that it had ever been in play before. All of its comes into play abilities will trigger and it won't be able to tap or attack.

    That role suggestion is literally taken out of my mouth.

    modgaming?

    Pttffftftffftftftftftf.
    Or you claimed ealrier to stave off people saying what your role was? That's not a defense at all.

    Also analyzing the set-up wih he expectation that it will be reasonable isn't mod-gaming. Pointing out the amount of time between your replacing in and day two starting would be mod gaming.

    From reading the OP it seems like you think your mother has a low opinion of you. She loves you and just wants what's best for you. If she thinks you should shave, then that's what she thinks will help you out the most. Maybe she's right, but maybe she's wrong. In the end you get to decide. If she doesn't like your goatee, so what? Maybe you like looking homeless, that's cool too. If you think of all of her disapproval as harmless advice maybe you would get along better. Remember that her advice is coming from her care for you.

    I wouldn't try to bring her over to your side on trivial things like your hair or whatever. She has her reasons for thinking what she thinks, whether or not you agree with them.

    If you think you should have more of a relationship with your family, then make a point to spend more time with them. As long as you're getting along, you'll be working towards your goal. Just being there more makes a big difference.

    I get that your mom's opinion is important to you, but you cannot let yourself be defined by the opinions of others.
