Mini 700 - Monta Vista Mafia (School has ended!)

[StrangerCoug]

I'll get in MiteyMouse's group. Why not?

[StrangerCoug]

Mod: The wireless adapter on my computer is acting funny at the moment, so if I go too long without a post, that's why. I do have access to other computers, however, so I won't consider myself V/LA.

Scoug! My favorite e-furry!

Aww, how nice

[StrangerCoug]

EBWOP, just in case:

StrangerCoug, CarnCarn, MiteyMouse

/confirm

[StrangerCoug]

Mod: I now believe that the wireless adapter problem is fixed.

[StrangerCoug]

Claim: Seat 1

[StrangerCoug]

I read Jebus and think of Jesus, so why not Jesus for Jebus?

[StrangerCoug]

Vote: My Milked Eek

for $20.00. Yes, I'm paying for my random vote.

[StrangerCoug]

Can I be "teh furreh" or something like that?

[StrangerCoug]

'Kay. Time to end random stage, let's head to bandwagon stage.

unvote

Vote: Carny

You tried to lynch a teacher >:0

I'm not sure I understand this. You want out of the random voting stage, yet your vote is kind of random. Kind of defeats your intent, no?

Minor FoS: Jesus

[StrangerCoug]

OK, I understand that. Voting Carny for trying to lynch the teacher screamed random vote to me, but some people do object to random voting someone other than a player.

Un-FoS: Jesus

[StrangerCoug]

Back to the nickname thing...StrangerCoug and I are playing another game together and one of the players keeps calling him StrangerCougar...makes me giggle...I actually almost posted in that thread about the nickname...hehehe!

StrangerCougar was actually my originally intended username on the first site I used the user name StrangerCoug, but there was a 12-character limit over there. It's rare to add the -ar back on, but I consider it acceptable to do so.

[StrangerCoug]

And the case on Carny is what again?

[StrangerCoug]

And more votes on a Carny wagon

por favor

.

Is that I-talian or somethin?

No, it's Spanish.

[StrangerCoug]

xD

I sure miss my computer at home... as if it likes me anyway.

[StrangerCoug]

Mod: Could we have an updated vote count please?

[StrangerCoug]

"Assorted peoples", mod?

[StrangerCoug]

Unvote: Edith.

Forgot that I still had my random vote out, and I don't really need it.

[StrangerCoug]

Pressure wagon = scare people with lynch, claim or die time doesn't come in. I'm not really interested in claims.

I just want people to slip up under pressure.

Care to explain the purple?

[StrangerCoug]

OK, understood. Came off to me as you were hoping to set someone up for a mislynch.

[StrangerCoug]

Slow game is slow xP

Mod: Could we have a round of prods please?

[StrangerCoug]

No one's tripping mine either. Hmm...

[StrangerCoug]

Mod: Do votes reset when the lights come back on?

Yes, it's a new day.

[StrangerCoug]

We haven't even gotten anywhere in the wagon, and I'm already liking MiMo's reaction. So now after the starter.

unvote
Vote: MME

Eh, I think this is kind of iffy reasoning for a vote. Not a favorite, but not enough to warrant a vote.

IGMEOY: Jesus

[StrangerCoug]

unvote
Vote: MiMo

That's much better, and works for me.

As to my flip-flopping, well, I want something to happen (= post more!)

Dude. Actually give decent reasons for your vote, not just something along the lines of "Yeah, let's go with the flow".

Vote: Jesus

[StrangerCoug]

Do you guys really think Mimo is scumbuddy to JDodge?

If I was do you really think that I would hammer him? Wouldn't that be counter productive!

FoS: MiMo

for WIFOM.

[StrangerCoug]

I assure you that I am not Scum. You are more than welcome to start a pressure wagon on me but, it is not going to get you anywhere except maybe a lynched Town!

This tells us nothing since we're supposed to be convincing each other that we are town. Inviting people to vote you with the warning that you're a mislynch doesn't cut it. It's called explaining yourself, not sitting there.

Upgrade the FoS at #227 to an

HoS: MiMo

.

[StrangerCoug]

Vote: StrangerCoug

Seriously, this guy has done absolutely nothing, even though he has clearly been around. I hate his vote on Jebus, seems like he is trying to start an easy wagon (in his eyes). He criticizes for him not giving decent reasons for a vote when he votes Jebus with no decent reason. And he basically put a HoS on MiMo for a null tell.

I unfortunately admit that I didn't have a good read on anybody Day 1.

Jesus came off to me as a scummy kind of wishy-washy, hence my vote.

If saying "I would not do X as scum", the textbook definition of WIFOM, isn't scummy, then I don't know what is. MiMo has done some other things as well that are tempting me to switch my vote to her (not explaining herself, fluff posts, claiming not to know how to convince us of her towniness). I still like my vote on Jesus, but if MiMo keeps up her act, she's been warned. She's already at an HoS.

[StrangerCoug]

Well, his reason for voting Jebus is the same as mine basically, but I want to know why he chose to vote him now, instead of earlier when Jebus was doing the same thing.

Once again, I didn't have a good read on anybody Day 1, so I abstained from making a vote other than my random one. I did voice a minor suspicion of Jesus for what I thought was a random vote to get out of random voting, but according to him it was actually a bandwagon vote to get out of random voting.

Keep in mind that we also had problems with a slow Day 1.

[StrangerCoug]

Strangercoug - More content to your posts. Most of your posts through page 3 (where the game started) to 10 contained no more than one line or were asking the mod something. Only in the last page have I seen a post of yours that held some weight to it. (Keep in mind, I'm only human and could have missed something)

My scumdar was pretty much broken all through Day 1, which is why I was so quiet then. I am well aware of the fact that I need to get off the sidelines. You remain my top suspect, but MiMo's getting way up there. Homosexual Scot looks good for Mafia as well, but I need to reread him and it's mostly for stuff Lassie already pointed out.

Jesus came off to me as a scummy kind of wishy-washy, hence my vote.

(StrangerCoug post 244)

Wishy-washy 'cause I wasn't sure what direction to go in. John Kerry can flip-flop all he wants and still look like a good guy. He only looks bad when he does something bad, or when the media wants him to look bad.

'
After JDodge's lynch, you said in the same post that you don't have a good bandwagon choice, so you decided to agree with Edith and voted MiMo. When you liked the latter's reaction, you turned back around to vote the former. Your vote on Edith lasted 20 hours, 35 minutes, and 35 seconds before you reverted to voting MiMo.

[StrangerCoug]

Jesus is looking a little better now, but on the other hand MiMo is getting increasingly scummy. She has yet to explain her actions, and her voting Jesus is iffy, especially since she says it's gut. Not really helping, MiMo, not really helping.

Unvote: Jesus
Vote: MiMo

[StrangerCoug]

You're a day too early...

But thanks anyways ^^.

Also, this is why I won't be here tomorrow most likely. I might be here for a brief moment, but don't expect an indepth post.

Very well then, happy

EARLY

birthday.

[StrangerCoug]

Today went a whole lot of nowhere, but I'll address this:

At the same time, I find

teh furreh's

play suspect in this game. He has been extremely quiet for him, I believe, and his switch to the Mimo wagon to put Mimo at L-1 was extremely weak:

Jesus is looking a little better now, but on the other hand MiMo is getting increasingly scummy. She has yet to explain her actions, and her voting Jesus is iffy, especially since she says it's gut. Not really helping, MiMo, not really helping.

He has basically contributed nothing to scumhunting in this game and I don't think that is at all normal for tf.

FoS: teh furreh

Maybe not as much as you and I would like, but I still beg to differ. I said that Jesus's reasoning for his vote on Edith was weak and later he was simply going with the flow by voting MiMo. I also called MiMo out on WIFOM.

[StrangerCoug]

Vote: MiMo

for the same reasons as last time.

[StrangerCoug]

I'm confused...did someone die last night or not? MME...I'm not ignoring you, I'm just not with my notes. When I get reunited with them I will post my thoughts in general.

No one is dead except for our Period 1 lynch.

[StrangerCoug]

Which means that it's probably only going to be lynch-kills in this game. 'kay.

Vote: Jebus

That's awfully weak reasoning to vote Jesus.

Unvote: MiMo
Vote: CarnCarn

[StrangerCoug]

If JDodge flipped Mafia Doctor, then why would this be lynch kills only?

[StrangerCoug]

So, no-lynch again today?

Well, if it's you and me, then yes. Unless you have a quadruple vote up your sleeve?

The lunch/brunch break can be 3 things imo;
(I'll elaborate, because I'm bored and find it interesting to talk about)

- groups can talk outside of thread.
Cliques sit together at tables, giving them a small place of privacy, which could mean talking outside thread. Which means pick-your-own-mason-brothers.

- scum gets a kill.
Flavorwise the transition from one period to another is minimal and only crossing the hall, which would give scum minimal time to kill/expell/plan an attack on someone. So during a bigger break they could be given more time/space to talk/plan their attacks.

This is of course going on from the assumption scum has no NK.

- fancy words for another recess.
BBM could just be messing around with us.

Nice observations there, Edith.

I still think MiMo should have been lynched a long time ago. Pretty under the radar here.

[StrangerCoug]

Put your vote where your mouth is, imo.

Unvote: Carny

and

vote: MiMo

then.

[StrangerCoug]

He has defended me numerous times in the past, due to my lack of time and odd playing style and trying to get more vocal. Now he is pushing SC to vote for me....just seems odd.

I will be back with more shortly...again, I'm sorry guys!

Silly person.

I was simply saying that if one

expects

a player to be lynched or feels that they

should

then they should put their money where their mouth is. Or, in this case, their vote. Lest we do a whole lot of finger pointing and get nowhere.

I must admit that I thought that I was already voting MiMo when I was called out on it. I forgot that Carny set me off to the point of switching my vote to him.

[StrangerCoug]

I'm not a big fan of MiMo's vote on Edith. You want to avoid speculating, but speculating ≠ scummy.

[StrangerCoug]

My Milked Eek, how exactly do you call out a lynched player for lurking?

[StrangerCoug]

Jesus is at L-2 by my count, right? Well, he's been suspicious in my eyes too, especially early Period 2, so I'm not going to have an impasse here.

Unvote: MiMo
Vote: Jesus

[StrangerCoug]

Vote: MiMo

Same as before What else is new!?

[StrangerCoug]

Heh. I forgot all about the brunch convo, but something seems off looking at your post in there.

[StrangerCoug]

Heh. I forgot all about the brunch convo, but something seems off looking at your post in there.

Oh really?

I was talking to MiMo. It doesn't make a lot of sense that she says she'll be all over you and deadline-lynch Jesus if necessary when she's voting Jesus

RIGHT NOW

, less than 1½ days into Period 4. Jesus is suspicious enough to where I'd hammer at this point, but something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

[StrangerCoug]

Something's not right with the MiMo/Edith convo either, whether you take the shower into consideration or not. I don't know what exactly's setting me off, though.

Heck, maybe something's wrong with me too.

[StrangerCoug]

It feels a lot like a five year old saying "that's what you are, but what am I?"

So

THAT'S

why I'm not liking this ><

[StrangerCoug]

Hmm. After considerable thought, the trap does implicate Edith. I can't think of too many ways where town would set up a trap for scum, and only Kokusho's Gambit comes strongly to mind. (I'll leave whether confirming someone as guilty is a trap up for debate, but I don't think so.) Scum is more likely to set traps, either for the town or, if inadvertently, for themselves.

FoS: Edith

[StrangerCoug]

It's kind of funny that Carny places himself as his second least preferable lynch instead of his absolute least, but then again, Edith is on the verge of being confirmed one way or the other.

[StrangerCoug]

If I'm not mistaken, that's a lynch on Jesus, so

vote: MiMo

again.

[StrangerCoug]

I know there was an unvote on Jesus, but I thought there has been another one since.

[StrangerCoug]

I'm going to hammer. Jesus has already been suspicious for being wishy-washy and following the town, so it's time to

unvote Mimo, vote Jesus...

[StrangerCoug]

...and

vote: MiMo

again for the same reasons as previously.

[StrangerCoug]

I do buy the possibility of there only being two scum, but if there are three scum, then most likely the last one is MiMo for reasons that we've discussed over and over again. The probability that this is a nightless is getting more and more plausible, too.

[StrangerCoug]

Vote: John Madden

Goodbye, Lurker McLurk.

[StrangerCoug]

Someone organize a super list of questions they want to be answered.

That's an awfully short list, and I only have one item on it:

WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU!?

[StrangerCoug]

Vote: pickemgenius

for the same reason as last time.

[StrangerCoug]

PEG, please answer my questions.

"Where were you?"

I'll tell you his answer: "School."

10 yen says so.

¥10 is not a lot of money. That's 11¢ here in the States.

[StrangerCoug]

Hmmm...

Any issues up until now have really been resolved by lynching.

- Can you see any eventual bussing when JDodge got lynched?
- Same for Jebus' lynch.
- Stance towards MiMo.
- Claim

These were actually my questions.

And 11 cents, isn't that like 0.002 eurocent?

US$0.11 = €0,08, actually (since most of you guys flip the comma and period). But seriously, we're getting off topic.

[StrangerCoug]

Mod: Please note my sig.

[StrangerCoug]

Vote: John Madden

Now that we've got

him

that out of the way:

Strangercoug: are you scum? [ y / n ]

No.

[StrangerCoug]

*kicks scotmany12* Wake up. I don't remember seeing you around.

[StrangerCoug]

scotmany12, are you scum?

[StrangerCoug]

Yeah. My scumdar was pretty much dead Day 1, then I was pushing MiMo and Jesus until they died, I helped kill the lurkerbag, and I'm pretty much stuck with another lurker lynch if I'm to persue who I think is scum. Carny and Lassie seem equally townie, Edith is confirmed town, and I know what I am.

[StrangerCoug]

He defended me against Jebus' random wagoning of me, then kept attacking Jebus in later days, too. However, he didn't leave behind ANY thoughts about Belgian Lover and wasn't voting for him.

You say this like there's a problem with not talking about Belgian Lover. What's up and why?

However, his post 264 is worrisome in retrospect:

Jesus is looking a little better now, but on the other hand MiMo is getting increasingly scummy. She has yet to explain her actions, and her voting Jesus is iffy, especially since she says it's gut. Not really helping, MiMo, not really helping.

Unvote: Jesus
Vote: MiMo

Because he doesn't say at all why Jesus is "looking a little better", and he simply jumped to put MiMo at L-1. Of the three, he seems most likely to be scum.

I rarely talk about why I think someone is townier than previously, but since you asked, it's largely my already pushing MiMo at that point and Jesus's #256. While it's clear that I didn't let Jesus entirely off the hook, I thought MiMo had overtaken Jesus in scumminess thanks to both their helps.

[StrangerCoug]

Why are you not giving your opinion sc?

I gave what little opinion I had at #524, but I'll add to it a little: The other lurker needs to contribute or die. Again, you're confirmed, I know what I am, and the other two people seem equally townie.

[StrangerCoug]

Mod: Also V/LA. See sig.

[StrangerCoug]

Mod: I nereby request replacement. See updated sig.

[StrangerCoug]

EBWOP:

Mod: I hereby request replacement. See updated sig.

Fixed.

[StrangerCoug]

*grumble, grumble* I'm still V/LA, and I'm still hoping a replacement comes in. I can return the first week of March, but until then my replacement request is officially still out.

Townie geek. The computer comment way back in Day 1 has to do with flavor. Nothing else special.
