Mini 365- Thinking Mafia - Game Over!

[Mert]

LOL, that's a horrible breadcrumb.... you can't even classify that as a breadcrumb man....

I know... a few moments after I'd posted it I had a real "what was I thinking?" moment but I could hardly point that out in-thread until I'd claimed so I just sort of hoped nobody would notice... don't know what else to say really

Also, directing the doc is scummy, please don't do it.

Fair enough, though I'd like to survive long enough to get at least one investigation done...

[RandomActs]

Well, that was pathetic. Outing our cop on Day 1. Good job, guys. I'm glad there's enough sanity in the group that he wasn't lynched.

I'm going to vote Major Kurtz (yeah, I think you should be demoted) because this:

As tempting as it is to vote Arafax for saying "I just want a wagon", I'm going to have to go with the Mert wagon at the moment because it seems like he is trying entirely too hard to be in the spotlight.

is one of the lamest, cover-my-butt, trying-to-look-reasonable-while-joining-a-ridiculous-wagon excuses for a vote that I've seen in a long time.

unvote
Vote: Kurtz

I have an FOS on Arafax for inventing his reasons for voting after the fact (post 241). Here's a novel idea folks: why don't we think first,

then

vote?

Sorry for the tone of this post, but that wagon was ridiculous. And now the cop is outed. I will admit, however, it may have tipped us off to some scum.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Unvote, vote: Arafax

[Rosso Carne]

being a power role does not give you an excuse to act scummy.

unvote

[Twomz]

I believe we now have 4 votes on arafax. Plz don't pile on to arafax and get him quick lynched... kthx.

[Rosso Carne]

plz dont try to tell people how to use their vote...kthx.

[Pink Princess]

Love my vote on Kurtz.

[Rosso Carne]

Also, directing the doc is scummy, please don't do it.

Reminding the doc that the cop would appreciate protection is scummy?

I'd say that there's a 50% chance that mert is scum... and if he's scum that Arafax is one of his scumbuddies, who was trying to throw him under the bus, but now he's trying to difuse the bandwagon in a gambit that will give the scum a "confirmed" player for the first few days of the game.

1. You think there is a 50% potential of no cop in the game?
2. If he's scum, Arafax is his buddy and trying to throw him under the bus? What? What makes Arafax the scum out of everyone else on the wagon, and why would he sacrifice his buddy for no reason? (it's not like mert was going down, it was the third vote on a weak wagon) If A is scum, B is his partner with no real reason sounds like a set up. Weak.

Your reasons for joining the mert wagon were weak, your reason (?) for joining the Arafax wagon is even weaker and it feels like you're giving yourself a free ticket to jump on the Kurtz wagon if that moves faster than the Arafax wagon.

Twomz's latest post bothers me. Big huge

FoS Twomz

.

I like RA's latest post, that's the same feeling I got from Kurtz when he leapt on the wagon. The trying-too-hard-to sound legit reason plus his position on the wagon make me suspicious. Hence my vote.

CES is bugging me with the wagon joining and no contribution whatsoever. Let's have some content here.

That is all.

[Colonel Kurtz]

unvote Mert

Yes, yes, it was so terrible of me to have a reason outside of "I just want a wagon" for adding a vote onto someone. Have you honestly never heard that reasoning before? I tend to not like people who stay in discussions consistently when they don't have anything new to say, and when it's kept up the whole game (thusfar) I tend to vote for them. In my mind, having a reason to get on a wagon (especially when it's actually a valid reason...), is a lot less scummy than saying "vote person, I want a wagon!"
What the hell, people?

Your reasons for joining the mert wagon were weak, your reason (?) for joining the Arafax wagon is even weaker and it feels like you're giving yourself a free ticket to jump on the Kurtz wagon if that moves faster than the Arafax wagon.

Oh, and by the way, Princess, two votes does not a bandwagon make.

If fact, Arafax and CES are my biggest suspects right now simply because of the shameless bandwagoning (at least RA is trying to pull one out of his butt to vote for me, I'll give him that). I see no reason to not vote for Arafax at this point.

vote Arafax

[Pink Princess]

There is a difference between a bad reason and a reason that sounds really contrived. Plus, mert's posts were generally chock full of conent and opinion.

Correction to my above post: Please change "your reason for joining the mert wagon" to "your reason for voting mert"
My point remains the same.
Thank you.

[Rosso Carne]

baby: id go behind a twomz wagon. directing voting is bad too.

and we all know what twomz will claim.

[Pink Princess]

and we all know what twomz will claim.

Scum?

[Elias_the_thief]

i thought that wagon had little reasoning to begin with. anyways, i think i'll go

vote: ces

not only does his wagon hopping and contentless posts make him very scummy, it hurts the town a lot. all he does is jump on wagons without explanations, so we'll have nothing to judge him on in the endgame. i think a ces lynch today is a lot better for the town than an arafax one.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

This is how I play. It doesn't mean that I'm scum or that I'm town, I'm sure other people could vouch for that. If you want to lynch me for being unreadable, that's a bad idea. We have real suspects.

[Rosso Carne]

I agree with CEM. He's a good lynch tommorow. Cuz we know what to do about people you cant get a read on...

baby: he'll claim townie. its what he always claims.

[Colonel Kurtz]

Actually, that's the main reason I haven't been voting for CES, this being his usual, if a little scummy, playstyle.

[Elias_the_thief]

i realize that its your playstyle, but its still anti town. if we cant get a read on you we have no idea whether youre town or not. anyways, its not like im hankering for a ces lynch. i just wasnt hankering for an arafax lynch either. at the very leat im putting pressure on ces to contribute.

[Rosso Carne]

elias, you dont lynch people you can't get a read on.

[Twomz]

I only claim townie when i am townie rosso (which just happens to be a whole lot).

Asking people not to speedlynch =/= directing the voting. Telling the doc to protect him = directing the doc.

What's w/ this "no cop" thing P_P? You don't think there's any chance that there's not another cop? Or that if there is another cop, he's smart enough not to just counterclaim because there could be 2 cops, or he could be scum and that's what he wants him to do?

I don't think Mert is clear yet. But, there's no reason to lynch a claimed cop.

[Pink Princess]

What's w/ this "no cop" thing P_P? You don't think there's any chance that there's not another cop? Or that if there is another cop, he's smart enough not to just counterclaim because there could be 2 cops, or he could be scum and that's what he wants him to do?

Yeah, there could be two cops, but that obviously doesn't negate the fact that mert is cop in that scenario. If mert is, in fact, scum, it would be silly for the real cop not to counterclaim and get us a scum, in my opinion. And I don't believe there is not cop in this game. Al bases covered.

But that wasn't the main point of my post. My main point was the craplogic about Arafax "throwing his partner under the bus" and the if A is scum, B is his partner with absolutely no logic behind it. (is there an official name for that ploy in the wiki?)

Hey Red, what's your opinion on a Kurtz wagon?

[Rosso Carne]

I'd hammah twomz.

I'll go do a reread now for my op on kurtz and his votes.

[Arafax]

Also, directing the doc is scummy, please don't do it.

Ummm, I for one don't find that scummy at all!....Especially since he's the cop.

I believe we now have 4 votes on arafax. Plz don't pile on to arafax and get him quick lynched... kthx.

If I directing the doc is scummy what do you call someone who screams "I"M PRO-TOWN!!!"

Okay....Now that I'm 2 away I will tell you all that I could claim and that my claim can be confirmed...That is all I will post for now....

[Arafax]

If fact, Arafax and CES are my biggest suspects right now simply because of the shameless bandwagoning (at least RA is trying to pull one out of his butt to vote for me, I'll give him that). I see no reason to not vote for Arafax at this point.
vote Arafax

Then Kurtz said:

Actually, that's the main reason I haven't been voting for CES, this being his usual, if a little scummy, playstyle.

Did you happen to check out my playstyle?....Just curious because it's the same every game and I always get accused of being scummy when I'm not scum....Why would you vote for me because of my playstyle and not CES....Just because you know that his style is scummy in general?

FOS Kurtz & Twomz

[Arafax]

Sorry for the 3 consecutive posts, but can we

Prod Bloojay?

...Thanks!
