It's an indicator, and it helps me get a feel for the player. That's it. It's a neutral question that has no immediate bearing on my vote.
I personally don't see how, but I am sure you know what to look for in the reply. Care to teach that technique to me after we are done with this game? Its. . . . . . different. Makes me want to know it for some reason.
Remind me to PM you when the game ends.
Today, you're both voting for zomara, a fairly easy lynch.
That hurt me quite a bit. Am I really that easy to pin as a lynching target?
You're new to Mafia and new to this game, while Magma, Phibes and me have been in it from the beginning, and Magma and me have been in BMs before. Both you and borno, when you just joined, were thrown into a game in progress with existing "relationships" between the players (as in, suspicion and such), and both of you have been throwing votes around trying to get a grip on the situation. That makes it easier to paint you or borno as scum, and you're more active. I think that's why they voted you.
zomara mostly appears newbish, especially since he just replaced in.
Just to clarify this bit, there's a difference between "newb" and "noob". "Newb" means "new", "noob" is, well..... noob. I'm not calling you a noob, just a newb. FYI.
Wtf, all my targets so far have been killed? My only target was Dariush, yes he died but so did Painiac and i didnt suspct him. YOU did, should i suspect you becuse of that?
Again, note how I only started laying into Painiac
after going through RVS and pressuring others, until I thought I had a scumread. I said right on D1 that you appeared off to me, and I'm not the only one who couldn't get a read on Magma. You two, on the other hand, were rather eagerly going after Dariush. And you've been sticking together ever since.
And is the table flipped now? i suspected zomora then borno came and atlast magma voted him. So first its magma pulling the strings and now its me? Or is that our master plan?!?!?!??!?!
"Voting first" doesn't mean pulling the strings. If anything,
Darvi's the one doing the string-pulling. You're attacking me on a point I didn't even make. Think about how that looks for a bit. No, please, just think about it.
*DUN* *DUN* *DUUUHHH* Your reason have far to many variables. Again if you are so sure, why do you still vote on magma? Its doesent matter who of ous you kill and like i said i am a far easier alternative, right?
You appear to have missed the point where I said that "more competent = more dangerous", which is why I decided to vote Magma in the first place. If you're going after two scum, I consider it better to go after the better one first, 'cause he's got a better chance of turning suspicion away from himself the longer he's left alive.
Look what you've just proved: If Phibes and I are the scumteam, then our actions make sense.
Allow me to make a counterstatement: If Phibes and I are not the scumteam, then our actions make sense.
Do you see the problem here? Both statements are true, so the fact that my actions make sense does not imply anything at all. You've got a suspicion, and you're blindly following it. You're reading all of our posts believing that we are scum, and you continue holding onto your theory because nothing disproves it. What you fail to notice is that there is also no evidence for your theory. That's called confirmation bias, and you should snap out of it immediately.
Good scum's actions
always make sense, otherwise they wouldn't be good scum. Right now there's precious little evidence for
any theory, and the rampant replacements aren't making it any easier to acquire - you can't really expect zomara or borno to know exactly what drove their predecessors in earlier posts. I've always vacillated between considering Phibes scum or just an idiot, but right now, scum makes more and more sense, and I've never been able to get a read off you, which automatically made you suspicious.
Consider this a free lesson in rationality. If you don't understand that, then you haven't read enough Harry Potter fanfiction.
I don't quite get this. Are you referring to a specific work? The only HP fan-works I know about are My Immortal and HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. (Blame TV Tropes.)
I also decided to do a bit of back tracking on my own and both Dr.Phibes and MagmaMcFry seem to have voted for the same person each day's end. if I remember correctly, once is a coincidence, twice is suspicious, but, today making the third time, three times is a pattern. That leads me to believe both of you might be scum. With that in mind, I vote MagmaMcFry.
Excuse me? That's really quite sad. It's the kind of wrong thinking that Strategia's doing already. You've found a possible reason for our actions, but it's still only a possibility until you manage to rule out all other possible explanations, or at least all the likely ones. Did you perchance consider that Phibes and I voted Dariush and you simply because he and you were being scummy? Strategia's irrational bullshit is seriously messing up your thought process.
This isn't Sherlock Holmes, and we don't have all the time in the world. Right now, having a
possible reason and a
possible theory is better than having nothing at all. And zomara's right; once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action, to quote Ian Fleming.
zomora, you can say the same thing about you and Strategia, (or not you, but you character, bulldog voted same as strategia, you didnt the first day, but we will come to that later and know your following him again, not you your character) I actually think it is more suspicious if we have 2 players voting same as Strategia than me voting same as magma beacuse the chance that 2 players follows Strategias voting blindly, when they have the same character is more than fucking suspicious! Ah yeah, when zomora actually didnt vote same as Strategia, but if my theory is right they new Dariush wasnt scum and its better to have a noob who cant spell than an IC running around. Plus they didnt want to vote same all the time, but now we are back. Btw this leaves ous with 3 noobs and 2 more experienced players, the fact that 2 noobs would be mafia are unlikly beacuse the mafia havent picked blindly and they have succeded going under our radar the whole time, its a long shot to think 2 noobs would have gotten this far. Thats why one of the more experienced players must be mafia and that leaves ous with Magma and Strategia. My money goes on Strategia beacuse i am pretty convinced Magma is a good boy. Really i dont even need to convince borno, the satisfaction i will get when i am right will be enough. Unvote, vote Strategia
Eugh, lrn2punctuation. I can barely parse this. Okay, I'll try and take it apart for analysis.

Just FYI, this sentence is waaay too long and rambling. Anyway. So people voting with me is more suspicious than you voting with Magma? Is that just because I've been snapping at your heels this entire time?
Ah yeah, when zomora actually didnt vote same as Strategia, but if my theory is right they new Dariush wasnt scum and its better to have a noob who cant spell than an IC running around. Plus they didnt want to vote same all the time, but now we are back.
So now zomara suddenly isn't following me blindly? As far as knowing Dariush wasn't scum and having newbs around is better than ICs, I don't even know what you're trying to say. Are you just panicking now and throwing every thought you have on here in a desperate attempt to divert suspicion to me? You should know that panicking when under attack is not exactly a towntell.

See, this is the problem with your supposed theory.
Scum don't get to choose who's scum. (Cults can, but they don't exist in BMs.) Everyone is equally likely to be scum at the start of the game. And you're right about at least one of the scum being more experienced - that would be vague and unreadable Magma, and you would be his newbie lapdog.
Really i dont even need to convince borno, the satisfaction i will get when i am right will be enough.
So your counterargument is..... "I'm right and you're not"? You don't even need to convince borno? Dear gods man, that kind of arrogance does not reflect well on you, both as a character in the game as well as in general. I mean, if you were someone on the level of Dariush or webadict, it would make some kind of sense, but on you it just looks bad.
I'll be out of the country until Tuesday, so I doubt I'll make it back in time for the Monday deadline. (Although knowing this game I'll probably be well on time for when the day ends on wednesday
)
