[Kmd4390]

I'm not ready to respond to the above yet.
But before I forget, *sets out Kmd bait*

I'm online with not much time. If you need me to respond to something quickly, quote it and I'll do my best.

Gotta go. I'll try to check back later.

[GIEFF]

Hooray! He'll check back later!

[GIEFF]

If I look at it I can be quite surprised you are putting that much efford into looking at me as a scumbuddy of spyrex, while you can not be completely sure of the allignment of spyrex.

Applying scumtells inconsistently is scummy NO MATTER spyrex's algnment.

I would see gieff-scum do this far more then town-gieff.

Yet another attempt to discredit my spy-case. If you truly thought I was scummy, you would vote me. It's clear your objective is NOT to hunt scum, but to get me off of spy.

[Kmd4390]

Back. Reading.

[SpyreX]

What has DDD done in the last 9 days?

How would any of that be different than what I brought up so long ago that you went "Ohh, well what ELSE has he done scummy?"

[GIEFF]

Don't you want to see him lynched, Spy?



Why haven't you been trying to make that happen? What have you done the last 9 days to help the town?

[Kmd4390]

Unvote: Battle Mage
Vote: SpyreX

(L-3)

Hmm. This is a bit of a... swing vote? If BM is scum, here's a connection. If Spy is scum, Vi is very likely town.

-------------------

So BM has 2 votes now. Spy has 3. Spy isn't the best lynch, but not the worst. I'll switch if needed, but BM and Zach are still better choices.

[SpyreX]

Ohh you've got to be kidding me.

Yes I want him lynched. I have, all day. You've been there to derail it more than once.

No sir haven't done anything to help THE TOWN (TM GIEFF PENDING) at all.

This all seems too familiar. Hmm, fancy that.

[GIEFF]

Hi, I'm GIEFF.

[GIEFF]

You've been there to derail it more than once.

So, you see me, who you think is scum, trying to de-rail a DDD wagon, who you also think is scum, and who you think SHOULD be the lynch target for the day. And you stay silent on the subject for 9 days? I don't buy it.

[SpyreX]

....

I called you out on it. I've mentioned the fact you've lept into bed with him more than once.

God. We've done all this before. I swear. I'm not crazy.

I'm NOT CRAZY.

[GIEFF]

You are trying to change the subject. It's not relevant if you've called me out on de-railing the DDD wagon. What's relevant is that you've ignored DDD for 9 days.

[Vi]

At this point I'm running on liquid hatred (it's great stuff!), and between various Mafia commitments and grading hundreds of papers it's starting to run dry.

Hmm. This is a bit of a... swing vote? If BM is scum, here's a connection. If Spy is scum, Vi is very likely town.

Shouldn't you save these for AFTER the alignment flips?
On that note, what do you think of GIEFF, who started this case near deadline as BM approached L-1?

GIEFF's relentless persecution of SpyreX has gone beyond reasonable inquisition. In addition to this relentless hammering on a weak point in an attempt to... what? Convince SpyreX he's scum? we have gems like

I know camn was very upset with this game - it was noble of you to release her from her obligation.

which go beyond trying to find the truth and go into harrying someone into submission.

So how about this. I'll keep my vote on you, SpyreX, and pending your Town flip I'll go after GIEFF tomorrow without question or hesitation. I'll even do my best to wagon him to a lynch.

Unless Kmd or Zach distract me.

Capisce?

[GIEFF]

unvote

vote GIEFF

[GIEFF]

V/LA until monday

[Zachrulez]

unvote

vote GIEFF

What the hell are you doing? What's up with this self vote bullshit?

[Vi]

I know there's a good explanation for this...

Cut by Zach. Fancy meeting you here.

[Zachrulez]

I've been trying to read all this stuff that has come up between Gieff and Spyrex that hasn't changed my mind about Spyrex being the best lynch of the day... which culminates in Gieff voting for himself, and claiming V/LA until the day after the deadline, like seriously... WTF?

Then there's Alexhans who has unvoted Battle Mage after calling him scum all day with the demeanor that he's no longer sure Battle Mage is scum... again, WTF?

Then there's Benmage who has now posted, I don't have much of a problem with the positions he has taken.

KMD, who posted, but didn't really say anything of value.

Sensfan, who I'd really like to see post his case that he claims he has on Gieff.

Anything I missed?

[Kmd4390]

Vi, if I post it now, I remember it. I'll probably forget otherwise.

GIEFF may have started the case, but your switch put Spy over BM.

I second Zach's WTF on GIEFF.

[Vi]

Again, I'm sure there's a good explanation for this sudden Get Out Of Game Free pass, among them being:
*spite (well, it worked for SensFan, Kmd4390, DDD, SpyreX, Battle Mage, and to a more forgivable degree Benmage and alexhans...)
*gambiting (lol, if ViyreX wants to vote me so badly this is just the right chance! Watch and see if it happens)
*doublegambiting (lol, if I actually get to L-1 I'm going to unvote at deadline)
*making it that much harder to get a lynch on anyone (self-explanatory)

As I'm fairly confident GIEFF is still around, I'm waiting on the explanation. It's tempting to consider that this topic has turned into a secret competition of who can get out of playing as soon as possible, but I don't think that's the case here.

The rest is just the usual Mafia in Wonderland.

Cosmic question: Why do you (Zachrulez) only seem to show up when something dramatic happens, and then disappear for a while again?

GIEFF may have started the case, but your switch put Spy over BM.

I already know about the swing-vote tell.
What kinds of "connections" would you ascribe to GIEFF-SpyreX/Battle Mage?

[SpyreX]

... What just happened?

Anyways:

DDD didn't DO anything in those 9 days.

And if that was such an issue why did you wait said 9 days to say anything to me about it?

I dont understand.

[Zachrulez]

Since this has more to do with my availability, and/or my desire to do things other than post on mafiascum every 5 minutes, I'm not sure what kind of answer you're looking for here.

[Kmd4390]

Vi, all it looks like to me is GIEFF thinks BM is town and Spy is scum.

[Vi]

No satisfying response from either party. Let's raise the stakes.

SpyreX. Deadline is approaching very quickly, and both of the people you have been calling scum all day have one vote on them (not including your own). My vote is yours. Use it wisely. Be prepared to explain your decision and accept responsibility for the outcome.

Unvote: SpyreX
Vote: Debonair Danny DiPietro

(L-3)

An honest answer would be nice.
Unfortunately I have no way of judging that, so... actually, I'm not sure what kind of answer I'm looking for. But that's the point in asking sometimes.
