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

So basically you intend to float through this game without ever really doing anything.

Mod, off the wall question, but are all potatoes assured to blow up the person holding them if/when they do?

Okay, that changes my entire perspective on him.

Fos:RiceBallTail

for stating an intention to actively lurk.

Good call on that one.

Agree with him, sure. *pout*

No, I intend to go through this game passing the potato on so that I don't have to die from holding it too long. Since there is no good way to really tell how there are scum, why should we bother trying to sit around and look for it? I think most of this is idle discussion as it is.

Thats about what I expected. Worth a shot.

Since there is no good way to really tell how there are scum,

Really? There isn't? How about if we follow the voting system, and enforce the rules of normal mafia so there is? Face-melting technology, right?

Riceballtail and Luigi Gangsta are kuribo's scum partners. This should be obvious to anyone with eyes.

This statement is impossible, because I am town.

Nice defense, thought a nice attack is also warranted.

I'm seeing the things that can make Riceballtail and Luigi Gangsta scum, but I don't see much that points to Kuribo being scum. Care to elaborate?

Saying "No, I did" isn't real proof.

However, it seems you're right.

Also in response to you earlier post Korts, As I have already explained before, i was one of the first few potato throwers and it was still in the fun stage at that point and we didn't think it was going to go off any time soon or if there was any better tactic at this point in the game than to randomly pass it round.

I think this is a rather strong allegation so early in the game, and with no supporting evidence? What are you getting at? Do you actually believe that?

I haven't had a potato yet. This is not a good thing.

Oh yeh sorry. Just went back and checked, and you did have the Russet (which TS made the list for, and not me).

UnFoS

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.
I said this like 10 pages ago.....

And i said it almost word for word on the last page. This isnt a competition, and Q21 is probably town in my eyes anyway.

He blatantly and openly declared war on Skruffs. Regardless of whether he knew it would kill him, he brought himself right out into the open- something i could not see him doing as scum in a game like this.

Explain this bit "Regardless of whether he knew it would kill him" please. It's early in the morning.

Well theres nothing to suggest that he knew it would kill Skruffs, but that doesnt matter.

I do so tire of people trying to refute points by simply calling 'WIFOM' and not really explaining themselves....

If you'd care to elaborate, i'd much appreciate it!
