Am I the only one who sees JohnW's comments as a newbie mistake rather than scummy?
I agree with this statement.
But if you take a look at my play across my 85 completed games on site, you should get the overview that in fact, as scum, i tend to lie lower, and ideally, stay out of focus
Examples? And quite frankly, throwing the potato early would not have dragged you out had I not been so adamant about the plan.

I wasnt aware that was what you were referring to. You are claiming that i'm being a pain in the ass because i'm not kissing yours? :roll:
I dont really think you've thought this through. Not alot of point me finding examples until i have something to defend against. :roll:

I don't. I think it was a very scummy suggestion.

Sure. If someone blows off a potato with a known or at least assumed trigger on purpose, he'd better have a good reason.
I think anyone who throws a Potato anywhere should have a good reason.

Is there a reason that after 15 pages you are yet to make a post containing any real content and make random comments instead.

Any reason then more people haven't been held accountable for their actions?

No, no particular reason. I guess we had more important things to talk about. You want to dig up the list of names?

A reason should always accompany a throwing of a potato, although potatoes should be thrown as quickly as possible, unless if that potato is known to explode after X throws.

Your point being? I don't see how you're doing anything more than restating the already restated.

Thank you, although that wasn't my point. My point is, there were some people who threw potatoes jokingly or without reason, and whether you think it worthwhile requesting reasons several pages after the initial throws.

I'm claiming you are being deliberately disruptive to the functionings of the town.

As for defend, defend your self meta. Find games where you were lurky as scum and link to them in a post.

Reasons would be nice.

Looking back I am inclined to dislike JWW's last post simply given his early potato toss post.

I'm also disinclined to dismiss JWW as noobish, based on his signup post. Apparently he won a scummy back in 2003, so he must understand the basics.

What you see of this game, and what I see of this game, are likely to be different things. You see a game of mafia, which involves lynching and NK's. I see a game of hot potato where there are certain people (of whom we do not know who they are) we need to get out to win.

I honestly don't think this is a game that's meant for serious mafia play, but more of a different and refreshing change from the rest of the games.

If you want something other than mafia games, there is the mish-mash forum. The title of this game is "Hot Potato
Mafia
". I think that's indication enough.

What Korts said. Any Mafia game has to have an informed minority trying to eliminate an uninformed majority, or something similar ala AITP.
