Seriously, maxwellhouse, with that much information and you can't think about something to say, take the posts that stand out the most to you and talk about what you think about those posts. "I can't think of anything" is not an excuse and equates as "I'm too lazy to think of anything" as far as this game is concerned. If you have to resort to asking players questions about their posts, then do so. The more you say things along the lines of "Hey, I was prodded, and I don't want to die because of the time limit, so here I am," the more you bankrupt your credibility.

you seem to be saying that a lot- stop being lazy, start using your own deductions.
That's true. Playing Mafia well relies heavily on information.

I find myself agreeing with Now a JDodge's logic in post #41, and he has a pretty big case on maxwellhouse. There were tons and tons of information out there—out of necessity, even—and maxwellhouse has nothing to say about diddly squat!? Way to lurk.

ting =), if numbers are not of concern to you, then go ahead and keep posting them. You may have to explain them to us so it's easier for us to understand, though. (You seem to be quite the mathematician Wink)
same post as above- you are telling me to out more information. yet you bring out nothing from yourself. why? your "case" on me is just whatever NAJD said. then you tell me to build my own case. then you comment about ting's number crunching. and you HoS'ed killa. this was a basically useless post- no votes, no new information, nothing.
Well damn it >< I let myself become a hypocrite.

As maxwellhouse said, I never voted for killa seven. I HoS'd him the post immediately before maxwellhouse voted him.

okay, this is getting annoying. i am not pleaing to your emotions. i just spent a whole large post explaining myself and everyone cannot seem to let go that i messed up by being a newb. please, just let that go. please show me in the last post in which i said ONE time "don't vote me-- i'm new!!!" yeah i did mention being a newbie, but my first sentence was a sarcastic comment.
Please be very careful with the newbie card, because we're not likely to forget your newbie mistakes anytime in the near future. Yes, we may take them into account when considering what side you're on, but to give a real life example, nobody in their right mind goes to a bank, yells "This is a stickup!", and then says "Whoops—I didn't know bank robbery was illegal" when they see the cops.
you bring up i used the newbie card (already brought up by many people before me) and something i've already said. now, i get having emphasis for the second since you are defending yourself, but did you really have to have that short of a post? for one small defense and telling me not to play the newbie card?
The newbie card often gets used as an excuse for making mistakes. That's our problem with it.

strangercoug wrote:
Muerrto, I simply felt that maxwellhouse was scummier than killa seven at that point, and I did not want to go for what I felt turned into a policy lynch bandwagon. We now know that killa seven is town, and I still suspect maxwellhouse for his trying to play the newbie card. In fact, Vote: maxwellhouse in case a lynch resets everybody's votes.
Not a JDodge, I failed to understand why Green Cow did not actually vote for killa seven at that post (remember—the bandwagon on killa seven did not yet exist, so I'm not contradicting myself here) if his concern was for wasted. FoS merely says "I suspect you, but don't feel that your actions warrant a vote just yet". That was the only person on his list of suspicion as we knew it at that time. Is the FoS not wasted space too?
first paragraph, no complaints really. you are explaining yourself and why you voted, even including a vote.
second, you are explaining yourself on your vote for green cow... yet your reasoning is faulty. if a FoS is wasted space, isn't a HoS? therefore, isn't your own post HoS wasted space also? so why did you scold someone for a FoS but it was perfectly fine for your HoS? you did nothing else in your post for your HoS except agree and repeat information. maybe you were a little bit more flowery with your repeated information, but it was still repeated.
I try not to be repetitive if I can help it (exception is if it's been too long since it's been brought up), but it appears you've got me again. I do, however, have a habit of bringing up tidbits from certain posts that lead me to my vote.
maxwellhouse wrote:NOTE, so far, these ARE his posts. i didn't exclude information.
okay, now his second to his latest post, post 76.

I hate how najd's vote is constantly changing. Naj posts were completely anti maxwell, but their recent post puts their vote on strangercoug.
So we have a bandwagon hopper, eh?
okay, i don't know what you mean here. are you attacking ting=) or NAJD? i think you're attacking NAJD. all right. that sentence was absolutely vague and repetitive. ting=) already pointed this out, why did you have to point it out again, except in a much less question-like form? what was the point of this, or to make people take notice of it and keep discussing it and put suspicion on NAJD?
(I fixed your quote tag, by the way.)
I was attacking Now a JDodge. ting =) implied that NAJD was bandwagon hopping, and I made it explicit in the form of a question to see if my interpretation of his post was correct.
maxwellhouse wrote:strangercoug wrote:If you define "new reasons" as reasons nobody has brought up yet, then no, but just because you're done with playing the newbie card does not necessarily mean you're done defending it.
fair enough, though i'm not defending the newbie card though. i just want it to not be brought up again over and over as a reason/a scold. and people telling me over and over again to stop playing the newbie card when i'm not, yeah it's annoying.
Well, nothing in your most recent post suggests the newbie card, so that's a good thing.
maxwellhouse wrote:on to latest post. it was shorter again. kind of vague. i'm breaking it up into parts again. not the first part, but the last two parts.

okay, i am just being a little "..." at this part. maybe i am being picky, i don't know.
It's terminology that I fail to understand and don't see as necessary anyway since a good attack/defense doesn't need to use them. In addition, if somebody labelled as "obvious town" or "obvious scum" flips the opposite, then it wasn't obvious, now was it?

I also believe Not a JDodge's case on you in post #26.
all right. so he called me "obvious scum." you read his post apparently, since you said that you believed his case. you did not jump on him for using me as obvious scum. you jumped on me and voted me instead. i mean, it was a good time. everyone was starting to point fingers at me.
now, when muerrto calls strife "obvious town" and strife is voting against you, then that is something you jump on hard. so it is obvious that you don't take "obvious scum" as hard as "obvious town."
They're both flawed, but I think it's easier to prove somebody is scum as opposed to town. The easiest way for a townie to prove that someone is another townie is if the first is a cop, but that's not the only way to do it.
Probably why I failed to bring up the "obvious scum" bit when Now a JDodge called you obvious scum is because I thought you were scummy too. You're starting to clean up your act, though.
I also know there's more to Now a JDodge's post #26 than what you put, because I will not agree with someone just because they said someone was obviously this.
