holy shit this game took off didn't it

now that I've spent about three hours reading the thread only to refresh it and the end and find like ten pages to read, taking pages and pages of notes I can finally say:

what the fuck are you guys doing
It seems like every single mafia game I play (that goes past day two >:|) gets completely sidetracked by some dumb argument that degrades from an argument into just yelling the same shit at each other over and over. Whether it's better to elect someone from the item game or better to NOT elect someone from the item game or elect bum is important, but I swear nothing has happened in the last five pages because annul can't stop yelling about math and everyone else is just saying the same thing over and over. This is obviously NOT GOOD for town.

Since I somehow only got called out twice despite never posting all day, I'll show where I stand:
Electing bum would be great, having a townie circle with mayor at the head would be ideal. It's crazy that people are throwing so much weight behind bum or against him at this point considering it would be insane for anyone-- red, blue, or black-- to counterclaim bum before they get their roles. How I vote will depend entirely on what happens day 1, and there's no doubt it my mind that something significant will happen regarding bum's candidacy.

prerole breadcrumbing, scum imo

Also, since I'm pretty much an expert on inactivity, here's a list of people who I don't think have any significant contribution to the game yet:

beneather
amber
kevconsim
Kenpachi

Keep an eye on these guys, please

Oh fuck I forgot voting was going to be done in a separate thread.
Unless I'm way off about this:

IF YOU VOTE IN THE THREAD, MAKE A NOTE OF THE VOTE HERE AS WELL EXPLAINING YOUR REASONING

voting threads seem really dangerous to me, potentially letting people go completely under the radar while still influencing each day's lynch. We have to set a precedence that silently voting WITHOUT at least mentioning it in this thread is extremely suspicious.

as well as brownbean, we need to keep a pretty close eye on beneather and kevconsim... both are 100% sheeping/lurking and have actually contributed nothing this game while just hopping on the bum bandwagon.

Mostly just checking in here, but I really don't like the tackster lynch for now. I had him as a pretty green read, and I CANNOT BELIEVE MORE PEOPLE DIDN'T CALL JACKAL OUT ON THIS

Consensus.

I thought this was some kind of throwaway joke reply at first but the he started backing it up.

Originally I was going to post another selection of quotes from him that I was gonna say made me question his previously-green status in my mind, but then I read over them and realized I was an idiot and missed the point of the posts entirely. I'm hovering around 80% sure jackal's town, but that doesn't mean we sheep after him all the time.
If anyone in the item game should be lynched I think it should be darm, lemon and tack need more investigation.

So... Jackal you do realize YOU and darmousseh are the ONLY players in the item game that have NOT shown that they know what the town alignment PM is...

So basically YOU and darmousseh DID NOT GET ONE.

er, jackal (despite not finding any hints) passed the prove-you're-town-by-posting-your-alignment-PM with pretty much flying colors as far as I'm concerned.

Just checking in to make sure I don't need to change my vote. I also assumed that item game players would just be vanilla townies that could use items, I feel like that was pretty clear :/

lesson: make zero assumptions!

Hola fellow townies. A fond fuck you to scum. I'm gonna do the same shit i did in XXXVII. I'm gonna start a shit storm of the absolute highest magnitude. I'm going to exceedingly piss off 3 IG players and I'm going to tell you guys to lay off three of them. But I'm not telling which 3 until tomorrow. And now I'm going to give town victory on day 1
#1 Bum lynch Tackster. Dunno if he's red or black but he is scum.
#2 I want medic protection over night.
#3 If Tackster flips black I will shoot the other scum. If I miss and hit green the remaining one will be tomorrows lynch.
#4 Item game players can stop me from shooting them but they will be lynched.
#5 Did I say I need medic protection for this to work? If we don't have a medic I'm hosed but town is still going to win.
#6 I will not announce scum #2 until tomorrow.
#7 Worse case scenario is we have 4 confirmed townies plus bums circle of 3
#8 Best case scenario is we have 5 confirmed townies plus bums circle
#9 That's 8 vs the world
#10 Bum's circle is cops. They should be able to add more townies faster than scum can kill us.
#11 Scum of either black or red persuasion will immediately try to kill all of us in the IM game. If I do manage to survive night 1 town has a kp at their disposal on night 2 and I will shoot whoever you vote for. Caveat - There are a few who shall remain nameless at this point that I will not shoot.
#12 I was going to wait until tomorrow to post this but I want bum and his team to have time to hash it all out. I am town. I can deliver at worst 2 out of 3 kills as scum or hopefully best case is 2 for 2.
#13 Town wins.
#14 Scum sucks.
#15 Stuff it noobs. I know what I'm doing.
#16. This is "Insane" Mafia remember!!!

It would be nine confirmed townies if you include bum himself, isn't it?

Also, Jackal, why is Tackster scum?

Consensus.

That's definitely not the case. As of right now he's given us good direction for the first day and it's not worth discounting him because of things like "I'm hovering around 80% sure jackal's town..."

I'm just catching up now but want to point out what I meant was lost here-- I meant DESPITE the fact that I felt (and probably others felt) jackal was town we shouldn't just go along with his plans when he doesn't offer anything to back them up, which he was doing quite a bit at the time. Obviously this pretty much goes without saying all the time but I wanted to show support for jackal without agreeing with his seemingly-arbitrary 'x is scum' statements.

I don't know about the items being RNG'd

okay.

my item is hot potato. 25% chance to blow up myself and anyone visiting me at night.

i have the option to detonate it early, killing myself and any night visitors.

since night vig probably resolves before the end of night, you're probably safe. but if not, then congratulations, you are dead.

incoming all item game PMs.

This seems like an item that would only be even remotely useful on a green, I could see the items being distributed by alignment with something like this in the pool.

Aww, I'm on a scumlist now? :/ I eagerly await your reasons then, kav.

Quick question: If the whole IG plan was to bait the scum player into stealing jackal's items, why did jackal just let it get stolen instead of protecting it? That's the one thing that I'm confused by in this whole affair.
