Yes, I said what you quoted.

But you are trying to say that what I said is corroborated with this:
You yourself said that fishing allows a power townie to advance. What then makes you think I'm mafia?
When that is absolutley not what I said at all.

What don't you like about it? I explained why I think a vanilla townie would try to fish power townies and mafia. You yourself said that fishing allows a power townie to advance. What then makes you think I'm mafia?

Wow, you think that's me suggesting people should out the cop or doc? That's not even close. I'm saying that regular townies should try to figure out other people's roles,
NOT
post their theories or conclusions about what they've figured out.

"My statement refer's directly to the statement" is meaningless and vapid. Please restate that so it makes sense

Does anyone have any theories on which form of F11 is being used for this game?
Which one is used is random, i'd imagine.

That question's tantamount to fishing, as only scum and power roles can advance on it.

Clearly, what I meant was that only scum and power roles can answer the question any better than "completely random".

Not that the question and it's explorations is useful to power roles.

What you meant is that a question can be said to be fishing because scum and power roles can advance on it. That's fine, I agree with it, I'd only add that I think regular townies can advance on it too.

Why are you trying to backtrack so obviously on that now?

Wait, so "to improve or make progress" means "to answer"?

Are you actually serious, or is this just a big long-running joke?

You might know what you meant, but either A) you're not very good at expressing it in English or B) you're trying to cover it up now.

I hope for your sake it's the former.

And I think being reduced to arguing about the mechanics of the english language in a game of mafia is pretty poor, and unecessary.

Is the pissing contest over? I don't want you guys to get any on my shoes. :roll:
But hey if anyone (besides those two) wants to start up a bandwagon I'd love to discuss it.
