I'm not sure how this works anymore with all these replacements. Can I just address things that they said before they were replaced or do they not apply anymore? After all, two people could act completely different and still be scum.
I just don't want to be pointing out someone's blunders to someone else and blame them for it, just because maybe the last person was an idiot.

You should in general base the main case on the replacement, but pay attention to the old behavior.  If the old behavior makes you think the original was scum, beat up the replacement until you're sure what their deal is.  No matter what, don't let them just lurk around and be disengaged.

[Taco Dan]

Thank you, that's helpful.

[Vector]

Thank you, that's helpful.

You are very welcome.

Trollan: Why aren't you voting? If it's because of the random finger pointing, think about it; the whole game is based around it. It will always happen, really.

Because he was replaced by me.

Why did you just FOS/vote everyone in that post, with nothing to back it up, anyway?  What was your point?  Did you expect any of us to feel any pressure?

Voted for Ottofar. FOS'd everyone in jest. Didn't expect any of you to react really.

OK, riddle me this, if you saw someone you were sure was town, and they were taking a lot of heat, would you either try and take heat off of them, or just sit back and watch them be lynched?

Riddle me this, when is this ever the case?  There are two ways:
1)  you're a cop with a innocent (except even then you're not sure, because of the godfather)
2)  you're scum.

And only one of those is townie.  One's not even possible since it was Day 1 yesterday.
My point being you can never be sure someone's town unless you're scum.

To answer your question, assuming you meant I was just pretty sure, then firstly I'd wait for that person to point out the issues in the attacker's arguments themselves, and then if they didn't do that, I'd attack whoever was giving them heat for BS arguments, since their arguments would have to be BS for me to be even pretty sure someone was town.

I don't really see the problem with the prediction there. I think he's basically saying: "Wouldn't that just be my luck if the mafia killed everyone I sided with?". I know it's a little out of place because mafia is "srs bsns" but seriously, why so serious?

It's a pretty weak point, I admit, but nevertheless it seems scummy to me.  Mostly because that's the kind thing I would have done as noobscum.  But it's a minor secondary point.

Oh and one more thing,

Mod/Zathras:  Could we get a lurkertracker report in here?  Things have been pretty inactive, and I'd like to know who's been lurkyest.

You know why it's been inactive? Holidays. People have families to see.

Yes.  That's where I've been.  But warhammer hasn't said anything relevant since the 21st.  And he was pretty useless before then too.  My point is that he hasn't really scumhunted.
The lurkertracker is just useful though, and that's why I want that.

Know what I'd like to know?  Why you just defended warhammer, Taco Dan.  It could be buddying, but since I think he's scum, I must conclude you're defending your scumbuddy.
Seriously, why did you feel the need to defend him?

That's what I thought, but it can never hurt to be sure.

[warhammer651]

You know what sucks? getting the Flu over the Holidays.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Warhammer, this is suuuuper scummy:

Bah!

_{Woo go scum}

Go scum? I question your allegiance. You sound suspicious.

• I'm dead.

• It seems Lordnincompoop was just a normal townsperson.
  

I go to a bit of work to take some heat off of you and look what happens.

PREDICTION: The Mafia is gonna kill whoever I side with

Admittance of buddying.  You should never try to 'take some heat off' someone.  What is the point of this post anyway?  It looks like you're just trying to get people to think you're town because you helped out a fellow townie.  That isn't a goal of town.  That's the goal of scum.
Like you.  You are scum.
Not to mention your little 'prediction'.  I don't know why, but it seems like something scum would do.  You know, make silly little predictions about who the scam are going to kill.
Oh, that's why I don't like it.  It's because it's distancing.

Question fo the ICs: is it considered bad form to vote to lynch someone that voted to lynch you?

Why are you so concerned with what looks like 'bad form', hmmm?  Why do you care?  If you have a good reason for voting someone, it doesn't matter if they voted you or not.  It looks scummy to vote someone who voted for you with no good reason.  Or to vote anyone without a good reason out of RVS.
But do you know what's even scummier than that?
Being concerned about how you look.

This combined with your lack of meaningful contributions so far, and your recent lurkyness, makes me conclude that you are scum.

Mod/Zathras:  Could we get a lurkertracker report in here?  Things have been pretty inactive, and I'd like to know who's been lurkyest.
^{And I"m too lazy to check myself.}

First thing to address about your concerns, the lurkyness: as I said at the top of the post, I've been sick with the flu and most of my time has been spent sleeping or.. well sleeping.

As for the bad form question, I've read through a few games of Mafia, and in about 50% of the ones I've read people jumped on someone who wanted to lynch a person that wanted to lynch them. 9/10, the person reaction voting was a townie. I was just curious if there was any generally accepted etiquette involving this.

As for "taking the heat off of him"... not much of an excuse except to say it was a poor choice of words. I honestly thought he was innocent, and he was.

All I can manage right now. probably gonna head back to bed.

[Akigagak]

Mod, fling me the link to Scumchat please? I won't reveal their secrets, becuase this lot of town deserve it.

Replacements considered: Trollan => KaminaSquirtle; Mindmaker => lordnincompoop; Muz => Zrk2; Vector => IC; Toaster => IC.
The Morgue: Akigagak: dead, town; Lordnincompoop: dead, town.

Moderator: please prod NativeForeigner, Ottofar, Zrk2. They haven't posted in over 36 hours.Notes:
- The LurkerTracker seems to get confused by people replacing in for others after their own deaths. Lordnincompoop's posts above include both Mindmaker's and his own before his death, instead of having a line for him in the dead section. I also had to add him manually to the morgue.
- Toaster and Vector's posts are included in the IC line, but it probably should be sorted with the Moderator, not with the players.
- Clearly there are more improvements to be made... Stay tuned.

[Ottofar]

Warhammer, why are you defending Taco Dan?

[warhammer651]

Warhammer, why are you defending Taco Dan?

I... what?
Could you please quote where I'm defending Taco, because to the best of my knowledge the only people I've defended are myself and pre-death Nincompoop

[Ottofar]

Wait. You were defending yourself.

This is exactly why one shouldn't play mafia after 12pm.

[NativeForeigner]

Sorry everyone, been kind of hectic back in the RL.

Native Foreigner:[/color] Who are your top scum picks so far? Why?

I would have to say Zrk2 right now, as he seems to be avoiding attention by keeping his posts short, not doing much, and having little content in his posts. Then again, I also have to read a few things before I can be rock solid on that decision.

[Taco Dan]

Know what I'd like to know?  Why you just defended warhammer, Taco Dan.  It could be buddying, but since I think he's scum, I must conclude you're defending your scumbuddy.
Seriously, why did you feel the need to defend him?

I'm sorry, I just thought your reasons weren't good enough when there are other people acting scummier.

wait a second...

If Ottofar voted because of misreading an argument, why hasn't he changed his vote from me? This might be gross negligence on his part, but the fact that he noticed his mistake and didn't correct it strikes me as being rather scummy.
