Aha, so you ARE paying attention.
I mean, yeah, that's kinda the point of this game from what I can tell. I'm not going to get information by not paying attention or asking questions.
You are right, I am softballing you, and you're the first to actually see that (or at least, say so.) But, the problem is that your noticing that only makes me think you're more Town anyway, so there's not really much I'm gaining by not doing it. Sure, I could be harsh, but I now I kinda don't want to.
You win this round, reverse psychology. It's a bit of a freebie, but if you're not afraid to poke the bear, it's probably because you're Town. C'est la vie.
Way to take spot number two away from nobody. I was reserving it for IcyTea, but I just can't bring myself to call him Town. I want to, truly, I do, but there's just something off about him, and I can't deal with it because he's actually one of the more active players. Luckily, Shakerag's here, so I can definitely use him, but he's got this thing where he's gotta drink a bunch to be Town, which reeeally downs his scumhunting game (but significantly ups his burn game.)
To be honest, there isn't really any problem in that, is there? Finding people you can actually trust is just as important as finding those you are certain are scum as it narrows down the list of potential suspects, though, naturally I would be a bit more stingy in who I trust then you are to be honest. Still, if we can get a proper voting block and figure out who the town is we can easily win the game, though of course, the issue in that is simply getting everyone to agree and obviously not accidentally letting a non town in. I'm glad you trust me, but I'm still unsure about you, to me you are either a very active hunter or the local bus driver, and for the moment I'm going lean toward the side of caution. As for IcyTea, while not the most sus in my mind, he is leaning on that side to me, but I'm still not certain on all but one thing...
But, I'm off-topic here. Really, the point is that I actually don't think your line of logic is wrong, but its conclusion is. TBF is the least likely person to be scum to me, and it's for the same reason that IcyTea thinks I'm not scum. And because your logic isn't wrong, I can't fault you. You're going after someone you think is suspicious and you're not afraid to take criticism for it because you're... well, probably Town. I can't even say that you're backing down because you're not.
But, I will stop you from doing so anyway I can. I hope you don't mind.
And thats TBF. But I have to ask, if my line of logic isn't incorrect, then in what way would my conclusion be wrong? I mean, you explained why you think he isn't scum and I understand where you are coming from but that could also just be a cover, after all the two people you started off suspecting the most are now most trusted and semi trusted, which to me kinda seems like an act to say "We aren't scum, see, we argued and disagreed to the point where we called each other scum before we became friends!" In fact, that's my biggest worry about you and tea to be honest, to me it seems convenient and is one of the more major reasons you are on my little five person list...Maybe I'm too paranoid, but right now I'm confident I'm not and am going to stick to my guns in that regard.
For turtles' sake, people. We're at a disadvantage in terms of votes (due to the unusually high proportion of mafia; as I said, I'm thinking 5 is likely). As we've already seen, the scum are happy to dogpile. Unity is the watchword. Don't trust webadict. Don't trust IcyTea. Don't trust TheBiggerFish. But if you're going to vote for someone, we have to pick someone and stick to it. They're going to try to balkanise you. Don't fall for it. They're going to try to bandwagon you all onto someone else (currently TricMagic). Don't fall for that either. Just vote the straight facts. Pick someone, let's randomly say Persus, and everyone who is town needs to focus. If you don't like Persus, pick another, but don't let the obvious moustache-twirling villain tell you who it's going to be. I think we can still pull this off.
I wouldn't say we are at a disadvantage in terms of votes, as I personally doubt the mafia has 5 members as it would mean they only have to bring the number of players down to 10 if they don't lose any members, and that seems
just a tad unfair to the town. Though, if that is the case, well...I don't think we are going to last too long unless we get one of them relatively quickly...I do agree however that we need to focus if we actually want to win and not just band wagon and play follow the leader, though we also need to be careful not to let the mafia get a free lynch as well, as if no one trusts what anyone else is saying, well, obviously we will end up in some voting issues... I do agree however, that tricmagic is getting bandwagoned, and they aren't on my list of top 5 most sus, though that list is less top five and more one confirmed 100% natural scum and a few large question marks.
