He's posting a rapid fire of questions just like the last game.
Because these both started fucking late at night. I get "angry" I suppose you could say when I don't have much sleep.

It's not a vote.  Go sleep before I make any more "mistakes."

Posting on an iPod is really fucking difficult. There is no goddamn undo button that I can see. It also has the habit of not letting me go down in a post because there is no internal scrolling. It also sometimes enlarges the text I am writing, filling up the unchangeable space I have to write in.

As I was saying, I don't act the same from game to game, or even from post to post. Part of this is mood swings. Part of this is me doing weird shit of the non-puzzle or -time related variety.

[PPE:] What the he'll are you talking about? Of course it isn't a fucking vote!

And now you're defensive.

Townies have nothing to fear, remember?

Ahem:

I feel like you're overreacting to my little FoS.  Perhaps you should go do things to make yourself less "angry."

I don't take kindly to people saying others are suspicious because they aren't acting like they did in the last game they played. I just don't do that. If you see me acting the same way in 2 games that aren't going on at the same time, I am probably scum in one of them.

Tack: do not even. I am explaining how I do things. You would do well to take note for future reference. And I really don't get why you're bringing up old lines that don't apply to the situation you are trying to use it in.

And yeah, using a computer would probably be less frustrating.

All right, then, I'll extrapolate:

I've seen a lot of your town meta, and this looks more like your scum meta.  Say whatever you like about it, but I've got my eye on you.

Your alleged meta for me is definitely wrong or far outdated, then.

Feel free to do what town is supposed to do, though. As in, try to get people to mess up. I am afraid just watching people won't get you very far.

I think we should all claim who we chose for our scumteam. It's WIFOM, but at least it's a conversation starter. And worst case scenario, it's not like information is going to hurt.

Spoiler: Get out, I'm WIFOM! (click to show/hide)

Good job, Zai, you've defeated your own meta by knowing about it. You're getting crazy defensive for seemingly nothing. Why is that?

So Vector, care to go into detail about why you chose Josh and Tack?

Hmm...I've never been a big fan of CCGs - I mean, I did and still do collect Pokemon cards, but I never got heavily into the battling and trading thing.

By definition that makes you a fan since you still buy them.

Well, Zai, I bow to your greater knowledge. But it's mostly due to the fact that you've been playing long enough that you shouldn't be so bad a player that you'd be overly defensive if you were scum.


I picked Webadict and Pandaseric. Because I think a good mafia team would have a balance of High and Low profile players, and I'm the low profile player. If I'd have been a more reputable person, I might have picked Myself, Elegy or Mr.

Same reason why I picked Zai and Elegy, to be honest.

1. I tend to play a lot better when I'm working with other talkative people.
2. Since this is a mountainous game, I assumed that at least one of the scumteam was probably going to die before the end.  This way, there will be a "mentor" and a "loose cannon" kicking around at any point, and the younger partner will be able to get past the "beginner's wall" that is D2, should both myself and the other "mentor" be outed.
3. JoshuaFH and Tack have largely unknown scum meta; I try not to pick people I'd be able to out easily, which cut my list down a fair few notches
4. They aren't on my list of townies that are easy to manipulate, defuse, and bowl over.

M.P: I'm not really being defensive for this game. I am explaining how I do shit for future reference. Because "he not actng liek n udder game wear he town" simply does not apply and I would like it to end here. And I didn't really "defeat my meta by knowing about it." I "defeated" it by not wanting to and not feeling like playing the same each game. Then it would get boring.

I chose Vector and Josh. Josh because we never did stage a fight and Vector because it seemed like a good fit last rendition. Had I been Godfather first try I actually would have picked Lonewolf and Josh. If you would like I could explain again why I wouldn't pick Web to be on my team.
