Murphy, would you rather be scum or town?
Murphy, which aspect do you appreaciate most in a game of mafia?
Murphy: Why did you join a game which you yourself said that you probably would not like?

Hmmmm

Unvote.

Why so interested in the fate of Murphy, Elegy? Why cast such a disapproving eye over what is most likely merely a coincidental RVS? I'm sure he can take care of himself, when he gets around to answering the questions, and we have plenty of time yet before we settle on a lynch. However, as far as we all know, he could be as much scum as anyone else... unless you know him a lot better than any decent, law-abiding, God-fearing townie should. =/

Notice how I didn't cast a vote, or even a FoS at anyone for that. I was merely commenting on the fact that I was surprised someone already has three votes on themselves, which is still quite a lot for RVS. It is curious how quickly you jumped on me about it, though.

Why so interested in the fate of Murphy, Elegy?
Never said anything about whether I would care if he lives or dies.

Why cast such a disapproving eye over what is most likely merely a coincidental RVS?
Again, where did I say I disapproved?

Cool.

Protip: next time you want to FoS me, have actual reasons, mate.

Ohohoho, you're not side-stepping that easily.

Notice how I didn't cast a vote, or even a FoS at anyone for that. I was merely commenting on the fact that I was surprised someone already has three votes on themselves, which is still quite a lot for RVS. It is curious how quickly you jumped on me about it, though.

It's 'curious' how I moved in on a trival pair of posts during the RVS, when people are looking for even the most minute scumtells anyway? Well, damn; if that seems suspect, we're in for a pretty rough game. >.> Besides, even if it is that peculiar to see three votes on one person during RVS, it's hardly unheard of and all three will vanish quick enough if Murphy answers the questions to a satisfactory degree. Certainly didn't warrant an ounce of interest from anyone not directly involved. Which I guess means you are involved to some degree, huh?

Also, half-assed attenpt to throw my suspicions back on me duly noted.

Never said anything about whether I would care if he lives or dies.

Your posts directly implied some kind of interest; whether it was just a harmless observation or something more is for me to determine, not you.

Again, where did I say I disapproved?

'Hmmmm' is certainly not an exclamation of surprise; I don't care what culture you're from. In fact, when vocalized, it directly implies a sense of impatience or annoyance. Your impatience wouldn't make sense in this scenario, so - under the circumstances - I can only conclude that something annoyed you.

So. What did you find annoying?

Cool.

Protip: next time you want to FoS me, have actual reasons, mate.

Huh; the condescending smartass. Practically a scum stereotype. Yeah, I think I'll keep my vote nice and snug up next to you for now. If you're gonna try again to convince me not to, then first dispense with the childishness. Elegy.

lol what

There's nothing I can even contend, because you're just putting words in my mouth.. So, uhhh. good? Attack?

P.s. Sidestepping is when you avoid an attack, which... I didn't do... So...

I'm just flying by briefly to thank all of you for being so active.  It's nice to see things running smoothly again.

Remember, if you have any questions then you can just ask me.

I put nothing in your mouth, whether they be words or not - I don't give a damn what the tabloids say.

I merely drew conclusions from what I had been given and acted accordingly. Point out to me what I have apparently 'put in your mouth' instead of complaining about it, and I'll elaborate if it seems I've been unclear. Scum simply giving up offers rather poor sport.

P.s. Sidestepping is when you avoid an attack, which... I didn't do... So...

...I know you didn't. Because I continued to attack. Hence the reason I said 'You're not side-stepping that so easily.'

I don't see the point you're getting at.

The point of questions early on is for someone to slip up and offer a logical fallacy or persform a scummy action. At that point, the whole game shifts into who is acting more scummy and the random questions stop.
I guess it is possible. I've just never seen it before, despite having played mafia IRL. We had different playstyle: the game began with a night so the mafia could kill someone, the cop and whoever else could do their actions, and there already was material for discussion by the time dawn had broken.

Murphy, which aspect do you appreaciate most in a game of mafia?
Dunno. An intellectual challenge probably.

Murphy: Why did you join a game which you yourself said that you probably would not like?
I did not say such thing. I merely said that there's something I do not like about both scum and town, so I have no preference over either one. I never said there wasn't also something I do like about them, and about the game in general.

Almost everyone seems to believe that asking questions early on can help them determine scum.
Yet I, an honest townie, have the most votes on me.
Fine, I'll play along.
Unvote.

Ragnarok,
er... I have no idea what to ask...
Okay, what do you think of the cop role? How would you play it?

P.S. Also, aren't we all supposed to post in-character?

KaminaSquirtle What exactly is it about Elegy that makes him a good mafia player??
I don't really know, he just seems like he would be good at being scum.  And the question concerned scumbuddies, so yeah.
Flintus10, what do you think is the best way to play town?
[/b]
Straight back at me eh?

Your answer is good enough though you could elaborate a bit more on exactly what makes a good scum player and why you believe Elegy fits that. (Though if you don't know you don't know that's cool)


And I'd say good town play involves being active and observant in scum hunting and making sure to use your vote wisely. Of course every player is different and has different guidlines.

Ragnarok,  if you have been keeping track, why did you land third vote on Murphy?

Murphy,
what do you think of having three votes on you this early?
Flintus, which town role would you like to have (Doc or cop)?
Elegy which scum role do you have?

Also @Ragnarok
probably just a newbie mistake but adding a third vote to someone for absolutely no reason during RVS is reasonably suspicious and looks like a bandwagon vote so slight FOS on you for that scummy action.
