Freelancer Mafia - Game Over!

[DrippingGoofball]

Day start?

[DrippingGoofball]

Note that I will be on vacation beginning Wednesday, and will return July 8. Don't replace me! You can lynch me while I'm gone as a substitute for killing me off Night 0.

[DrippingGoofball]

I'm back from vacation, will post tomorrow.

[DrippingGoofball]

vote: ZONEACE

[DrippingGoofball]

I approve of Snaps.

[DrippingGoofball]

I disapprove of the following chicken scumbags that aren't voting, or voting for hopeless cases:

Gorrad, Cephyr, The Fonz, chenhsi (no lynch? are you kwayzee?)Luigi Gangsta, BM, Mneme, Kison, Snaps, Vollkan.

[DrippingGoofball]

i realize you were gone for 2 weeks, but could you maybe make a useful post?

I'm already voting for you. That's pretty useful don't you think.

[DrippingGoofball]

I changed my mind. I approve of The Fonz though I wish he'd place his vote in a more useful place. Unless I missed something?

[DrippingGoofball]

Do you approve or disapprove of Snaps? You said both recently.

I approve of Snaps' play and argument but I wish he made a useful vote.

As for Zoneface, he just seems to be an angry guy especially when being voted for. He was lurking a bit at the start and when hit up about it got angry, he said a few things out of ignorance that could appear scummy, we can't know he is scum from stuff like that on the first day, i think he just has a strange playing style and his judgment is kind of flawed in some places. Again i don't think we can draw the conclusion Zoneface is scum from what we've seen so far.

Scum are often angrier than townies when they feel they are being wagoned "for no reason." It's a medium-sized scumtell in my book, and a medium scumtell is good enough when the player in question is a nuisance to the game. The pros outweigh the cons.

[DrippingGoofball]

Why are we even discussing "no-lynch?" It's not an option. There is not a chance that we'll agree to this. The Zoneace lynch will be infinitely more useful and informative.

^This.

Vote: ZONEACE

I'd normally completely agree, but someone say that Zoneace normally plays like an ***hole? If it's his playstyle, then it's a null-tell.

That's not what I'm saying, I'm saying that this kind of high-octane outraged at an "unfair" wagon more often comes from scum than from town, especially early in the game.

Let me explain.

As a townie, I have strength in numbers. If I'm lynched today, it's no big deal, for instance, because first I expect we'll lynch a townie on Day 1, and second, we are many more townies.

If I were scum, and faced dying on Day 1, I'd be much more upset. I'd fell like I'm letting my buddies down, and very soon the scum team will be reduced in numbers, making a win more difficult. Plus, I'd be bound to leave some clues and maybe accidentally give away a buddy or two.

That's why scum gets really upset when they are wagoned early and "unfairly." Of course, the Day 1 case against Zoneace is not exactly rock-solid (like any Day 1 case), but his reaction is most telling.

Besides, this is a mega 28 player game, we need FIFTEEN to lynch, so it's going to be a huge uphill battle to get a majority on any player. We also want to avoid deadline lynches, because it allows scum to avoid detection more easily, they don't have to compromise themselves with their votes.

Ashmite is town.

Regardless of Zoneace's meta, I believe he's scum in this game.

Once again, based on my observation (which some other players disagree with), that scum is more likely to be upset over what they perceive to be "crapwagons" than townies, I am keeping my vote on Zoneace. The barrage of OMGUS suspicion on anyone that thinks he may be scum is a testament to that. I did note that BM, Luigi and armlx to some extent, seem to get somewhat of a free pass, unlike the rest of the players he names.

That's just my read. I think that Zoneace is the scummiest player by far.

[DrippingGoofball]

My last question, then, is why does DrippingGoofball not have ANY votes?[...] Low overall activity. votes for Zoneace with zero game content in ANY post beforehand.

I was on vacation for two weeks without internet access.

[DrippingGoofball]

You want more of me? Be careful what you wish for.

[DrippingGoofball]

Also curious as to why DGB is sold on Ashmite being Town.

It was his tone, and a few things he said that struck me as earnest.

[DrippingGoofball]

How bout ANY CONTENT that isn't so obviously an attempted policy lynch?

Firstly, you're not even being lynched, and secondly, I happen to find you scummy as hell in this game, I have explained why, and my vote is not a policy vote at all.

[DrippingGoofball]

yes and your reasoning was SO COMPELLING AND BELIEVABLE.

Maybe compelling not to you, maybe not compelling to someone else, but that was my reasoning, and not surprisingly, I believe in my own theory. So it is believable.

[DrippingGoofball]

Gah! Dead again??? Go town!

[DrippingGoofball]

I'm very disappointed to have died on Night 1. I suspected the mod did it.

[DrippingGoofball]

Macavenger killed me Night 1? I shall avenge myself.
