Is there a specific reason you are trying to find out? I really don't think the blues should reveal themselves yet unless they got something really useful that will pretty much win us the game.

Is this the proper time to announce it? I wasn't, but I've already said I don't have a role. I'm starting to think the mafia is afraid that we have a medic though. That's why they went for Tunk and Jitsu and not you Prob, for fear of the medic saving you (our "leader" of sorts).

I think you two have good points here. The scums are probably thinking they will be able to convince the other townies that I am the scum, due to my bad filter earlygame.

If there is a medic, I don't think he should claim. If there is a DT, I don't think he should claim either, unless they have at least 1 new mafia. For all we know, we could have one of them, none of them, or both of them (blues). :/

Hardly suspicion. So what does this mean? It means taking a good look at Gonz and Cats.

WIFOM alert, which is more likely?

Scum knew I was iffy about Cats and that Jitsu would be the one pushing his case, so they shot him.

Or

Jitsu had correctly noticed in Gonz's filter and scum quickly shot him to stop suspicion of Gonz?


Or

We have no fucking clue and this is a waste of time?

Bk, you are in that list and have at least been posting so, what do you make of this?


Do you think it could be possible that BOTH statements would be true? As in the last two scum would be Cats & Gonzaw? I haven't read through Gonzaw's filter yet, but I will check it and post my opinion in the morning. (3:30 AM, gonna sleep now.)

Blurry doesn't agree to vote up Sheth until you ask him if he will. All his posts previous to that have no read on Sheth or say he he may be slightly town. I guess you are right that it is stupid to jump from Cats to Sheth, but you, one of the best readers in this game, think he is town now. Maybe that is what he wanted to happen. I still think he is scummy.


Yes, Blurry votes when I ask him to, with no hesitation at all. He could have simply stuck with his read that Cats was scum until it became obvious Sheth was being lynched. I don't think he is clearly town, just more town than Cats. It is possible that he is mafia but if so that is one hell of a bus. If I recall correctly he was the second person to vote for Sheth. Remember I had pushed Cephiro's case day 1 and failed, why would he assume I would succeed day 2? As mafia, it would have been a much safer play to just wait it out. See if the wagon starts to pick gain even a single vote and then jump.

In addition to all this he was one of a handful of people who pointed out Sheth's mistakes in the very early game. Why do this if you are mafia? He plan has been to lurk, calling out your buddies is not lurking. Sure he didn't push the case hard but he definitely made one. We have very little to work on with Blurry but what we have seems more likely to be town than mafia. Either he is one hell of a mafia player, subtly bussing his team mate to gain town credit despite lurking, or he is simply a town lurker.

Prob: What is your read on Cats right now? Who are you thinking are scummy?


See above. Given Jitsu's suspicions I would place Cats as scum. It fits with his back and forth with Sheth. Sheth called him out on a simple mistake (wishy-washy)and instead of changing his play like a townie would, he kept going. Sheth than backed off when he realised he was casting geniune suspicion on his team-mate. He only voted for Sheth after Sheth told him to and has been all round terrible. His "leaving" post caused confusion and he claims it was a gambit. In general he has been nuisance to town so I would not be sad to see him leave.

@Blurry Thanks for your mildly amusing expose on Cats. Whilst it doesn't add anything new it is a nice summary of Cats wishy-washy play. However, sheeping is NOT a point in your favour. Don't do it. You can start by giving me your case on who the third mafia is. Assume Cats is scum, who is his last buddy and why.

Your gambit was terrible and created all sorts of mayhem, I hate it when people use passive aggressive stuff to gain emotional leverage. So yeah, no problem seeing you lynched. It is not meant as a personal thing, play better next time. I would happy to have another game with you.

Anyway, are we the only one's reading the thread?

Cats, you confuse me, so how about a deal? I will keep my position open on your alignment if you give me a thorough case on why I should vote for Blurry over you.

The others seem pretty happy lynching you, which bothers me. This wagon is a little too easy to get going. Whether that is because your mafia brethren have given up on you or because you are town, is hard to say. Convince me.

In particular, look at my reasons for thinking Blurry is town and poke holes in it. I want people to tear my analysis apart, right now the rest of the town seem content to just accept stuff that is well formatted. You will go a long way to redeeming yourself in my eyes if you can do that for me.

I will try my best to read your case without bias, however if you are going to get this town to vote with you it will need to write a convincing case. Blurry hasn't done himself any favours so it should be a fair fight.

Show me what you got!


I understand being open to every possibility, but WHAT THE HELL Probu? This is a very surprising change from you this quickly. I do agree that he has picked up on his play, but enough to be your new bestest buddy? I am not even going to be wtf at Cats, I'm going to look WTF at you.

You ask him to provide a case on Blurry and/or question your analysis. He does NEITHER.

Instead he makes a case against da Lurker. How hard is that? I'll give that it's the best thing he's TRIED so far, but you are giving up on him way too easily not providing enough reasoning. Or is there some reason why you are very sure that Sheth could have set him up?

Probulous you probably weren't expecting this, but I'm about to change up my read. The more I read Blurry's thread, and I've read through it multiple times now, the more I think he is just a lurker newb not sure how to contribute. Even when he sheeped against me so hard recently, he admitted that he was doing it immediately. He was the 2nd person to vote for Sheth (and he had a surprisingly good read on him for posting so little). And the WIFOM posts I called him out on earlier make more sense in light of the fact that he says he has been using his gut alot since he feels his analysis isn't up to par. Your gut is the only way to make a decision about a WIFOM situation. I feel like I can read newb play, being that I was/still am one, and Blurry definitely strikes me as a lurker newb town now. Thats being said, he still needs to post more.

All of this reading wasn't in vain, because after perusing through filters I found a different target.

Paperscraps: Being a Replacement Doesn't Make You Innocent
[image loading]

A replacement for Gretorp, Paperscraps wasn't done any favors by having a terrible predecessor. Gretorp was a shady, shady player, drawing the suspicions of everyone despite having a small number of posts. Tunkeg the night killed townie called out Gretorp for lurking and responded with this:

Tuneg,

It doesnt make sense to vote me. If you have watched any NASL or seen me play mafia, you know i'm genius level but inexperienced with mafia. ALL times i've been in tl mafia, i've been a townie so my ability play townie is better than mafia. If you take my genius brain and then apply the situations, the EV for me in general is positive to the point where you dont want to vote me. But you probably know this, hence you want to kick me off because youre a mafia.

SO I VOTE YOU, AND YOUR COUNTRY.

What is this other than OMGUS and an attempt to confuse the town? A very shitty move for a townie to make. After being pressured on this ridiculous post, Gretorp responds:

These are Gretorp's last 3 posts. Post #1 is an attempt to put pressure on someone else. Post #2 is an attempt to make an excuse to relieve the pressure on himself. And Post #3 is an attempt to make a promise to relieve the pressure on himself. And then poof, he was gone. This reads really scummy to me.


Come on ._. These 5 posts have been analysed all over, and now days later you are giving your opinion on them? I called you out for the fact that you had asked Gretorp to post, but then dropped it. Then you tried to pretend you hadn't forgot about it. And now you think it's scummy that he promised but dropped it? He got replaced for a reason. Why can't you be consistent?!?! I think you've been a dog in a leash for others this whole game. First Probu, then Sheth, now Probu...

Hey Everybody,

Glad to be here. I have been "semi" keeping up with the thread, but I will need to read through the filters to get a better read on people. I definitely plan on being more active than my predecessor.

I seem to be leaning a bit toward scum on blurry and xeris (kronhjort). I can't stay up too late tonight due to school in the morning. I plan on providing some analysis and reads tomorrow.


Much better than Gretorp, but that isn't saying much. His reads are pretty interesting though. He picks Xeris, a bigger lurker than Gretorp, and Blurry, a player already under an eye of scrutiny. This is an easy thing to do. And he doesn't give any reasoning for his picks. Sheeping/ghosing, call it what you will. It definitely isn't original though.

I've been trying to figure out why someone would target Tunkeg rather than someone like Probulous (posted the most analysis and was one of the most assertive players thus far). I think this could potentially tell us certain things.

Probulous posted his reads on all the players in the game categorizing them by who he thought was town/neutral/mafia. While this does not make him seem any more scummy. My instinct on this is that a player who is mafia is categorized by him as being town and this cover would be useful to the mafia in some way.

My other thought is that Tunkeg was pressuring someone that was mafia in a way that made him the biggest threat. He was pressuring Gonzaw and Cephiro and also did a little bit on Sheth. Since Cephiro was already cast under so much suspicion by Probulous I infer that there is a high chance that either Gonzaw or Sheth, or both are scum and am going to re-read their posts thoroughly. My initial instinct is that Sheth is the more likely candidate as he has literally posted zero analysis and has simply pressured or challenged peoples points rather than helping us weed out scum.


Terrible post, Gonz is right this tells us nothing at all. However you at least posted your thoughts on Sheth (Cats I'm looking at you).

So to make it easy

Blurry, would you vote to lynch Sheth? If not why not?


Yes I would, and will.

#Vote: Liquid'Sheth

As to gonzaw's statement of me simply regurgitating information. For the most part that has been true but I've been going by my gut, which is not something you can post when convincing other people to take your side. I've been suspicious of Sheth from the start but don't have the analysis skills to back it up (I know that will read as scummy but bear with me) and write an informed post as to why. If I don't have the evidence to back up my feelings then there is no point in posting it.



Either Blurry is trying to bus his mafia buddy, to alleviate further pressure from himself or has great gut instincts. I am leaning more toward the former, but he did make somewhat of a case about Sheth just pressuring and not weeding out scum. Read through his filter, something just doesn't feel right about him. I am interested in what his response will be.

Xeris (Kron) Null

Not much to say about Xeris (Kron) atm. Better to focus attention on other more active players until the need arises. Lurking is tricky and Kron might just be following the role already laid out before him, but that will only last for so long. I honestly think both players are/were inactive and not playing the game at all. If anything though is leads to a slightly scummy read.

Note: I guess the same case could be made about me, but I hope to post more frequently and provide real analysis and reads. I am new to Mafia via forums though, so I will have to find the groove here.

CatsNHats Town

Either inexperienced town or smart scum. In his first post he said he never played before, so that leads to believe he is just an inexperienced townie. No real reason to lie on your first post, unless you just want to troll the whole game, but I guess I would want to see the good in people not the bad.

He has posted a bunch of wishy-washy banter and defeatist attitude. Again either noob town or smart scum. Still leaning more towards noob

Jitsu, Probulous and Cephiro Town.

It will be interesting to see who the mafia kills, I think after tonight we will be able to get a better read on the mafia.




Next post. Blurry stays scum. Xeris changes to null (probably because he's caught up with everyone's opinion Xeris by now), and I am town. Keep this in mind. He also posts the 3 clearest town reads as his own. Nothing original. When Probulous questions him on his reads, Paper agrees and changes his mind about me, claiming he will re-read my filter. Xeris is also off his radar completely. Most interesting however is the fact that he sticks to his case that Blurry is scummy.

Paper claims that:
"Blurry doesn't agree to vote up Sheth until you ask him if he will. All his posts previous to that have no read on Sheth or say he he may be slightly town. I guess you are right that it is stupid to jump from Cats to Sheth, but you, one of the best readers in this game, think he is town now. Maybe that is what he wanted to happen. I still think he is scummy."

Blurry acutally did post analysis on Sheth. Even though it was scant, it was correct, and he was the only one up to that point other than Prob to question Sheth. Paper, as scum, knows that Blurry is town, so he's neglecting facts to cast a shadow on a suspected player.

Re-reading the filter of Cats and Jitsu. Jitsu being confirmed townie leads me to Cats being scum. Cats wishy-washy garbage and acting with Sheth saved him for one more day, but Jitsu's death has saved the town I think.

I am still leaning toward scum on Blurry as well.

We should deal with Cats first though and do Jitsu some justice.


Paperscraps then busses Jitsu, using his death during N2 as evidence for Jitsu being correct about me being scum. This is sheeping against the most suspected townie. Paperscraps next two posts are further sheeping of Jitsu's analysis of me. There is no reason to quote them, they are one-liners and are easy to find on his small filter.

With my new opinion that Blurry is town, I think Paperscraps is scum sheeping against the two questioned townies, me and Blurry.

Because of all of this reasoning above:

##Unvote: Blurry
##Vote: Paperscraps

I look forward to your response Paperscraps.

And at this point I think Xeris/Kronhjort is going to get mod-killed, and if he flips blue/green, I will be PISSED.


I approve you for making the continuing the case on Paperscraps, looks better than what you started on with Gretorp. What I don't like however is that you are totally skipping on some things that I've done, I'm not sure if you just haven't noticed or are you leaving it out on purpose to make me look worse. I hope it's the first.

Fair point. So which one? Given that Cats is actively participating and providing analysis I am happy to leave him today. Even if we assume he is mafia (I'm not sure) there is someone else and I agree that it he is either Gretorp/Paperscraps or Xeris/kronhjort.


Okay, let's assume that Cats is not mafia. Are you that certain on yourself that you will find the rest of the mafia today? If we mislynch today, and the mafia gets a night-kill through, we're in MYLO tomorrow, assuming they will get the N4 night-kill through also. I don't like how easily you are happy to leave him today just because he actively participates and ... provides analysis to some extent I guess. AND STILL HE KEEPS CHANGING HIS GODDAMN MIND ALL THE TIME, HOW IS THAT HELPING US?

Another reason why I don't like the idea of lynching someone else unless we are suddenly really sure:

Cats has already claimed that he is not a blue. If there are blues in the game, it is possible that we hit a blue if we mislynch. IF Cats actually happens to be a townie, we at least haven't hit a possible blue.

Remember what you said earlier. The first bolded is just as likely as the latter, but somehow you are suddenly very certain it's the last choice. You don't even seem to have checked up on Gonz. (I admit, I haven't posted anything on him yet either since I'm still re-reading his filter, trying to make sure I don't miss anything.) It's most likely that Gonz is town, but it doesn't hurt to double-check at this point does it?

Thanks Prob. And that is a really hard question. I wouldn't be surprised when Xeris/Kronhjort gets mod-killed if he flips red. But that is just wishful thinking because there really isn't any info to go on for him/them. AnxiousHippo's play was suspicious but bkrow has played much much better. That leaves Cephiro, Gonzaw, and Blurry (you and I are town). I'd say the 3rd mafia is between Cephiro, Xeris/Krohnjort, and Gonzaw. Hopefully it's Xeris and we can win this game in one more day!!!


Just one question. Why have you been taking Probulous for granted this whole game?

As it stands now, I would still like to see Cats lynched, unless someone provides me with a convincing case against someone else, or that I find something even more scummier than Cats myself. Call me out for still pushing for him if you want, but I've been doing it since N1 started. I think you've let him off too easily.

I am open for the possibility I am wrong in Cats's case though, but at the moment I am finding it extremely unlikely, so until someone else provides me a better target:

@Cephiro I included Gretorp in my analysis of Paperscraps because they are the same person. I would be remiss to leave out my opinion on Gretorp and just analyze Paperscraps, that would just be throwing away half of the available information we have on him/them. What are the things that you mentioned you did? Have you already analyzed Paperscraps? If so I missed it and apologize for that. Can you requote it to me? Also, you say Prob asked for my case on Blurry and that I didn't write it. But I did, it's at the top of my post on Paperscraps. I came up with the same conclusion that Prob did about Blurry (town for now), but with separate analysis from him. I've been taking Prob for granted up to an extent, but remember I did ask the town if we were following him too blindly. I have an overwhelming gut feeling that Prob is town. With the sheer amount of posting he done (like 8 of the 36 pages), he is either a really good town or the most ballsy scum ever. I think it's the former.


Yeah, I understand that you wanted to analyze them both to keep the case whole. It may be just me since I've gone through Gretorp's posts enough times to find nothing new that I just started thinking why do you even need to bring them up again, but to keep your case full and to keep your analysis as convincing as possible, I see your point. If you didn't even try there it would look more sheepish.

"Blurry acutally did post analysis on Sheth. Even though it was scant, it was correct, and he was the only one up to that point other than Prob to question Sheth. Paper, as scum, knows that Blurry is town, so he's neglecting facts to cast a shadow on a suspected player."

This, I think it's quite obvious that I have questioned Sheth.... And there was another line too but I can't seem to find it.

I haven't provided my thoughts on Paperscraps, but I do have an opinion about him. I will probably post them slightly later, I want to see a few more reactions of him. If that doesn't happen, I'll pressure him and force him to respond.

I know that you came up into the same conclusion as Prob, but I was kind of hoping since you made an analysis on Paperscraps too, that you would have analysed Blurry a bit more in-depth post-by-post if you felt that he was town. I slightly got the feeling that you took up someone else just to confuse everyone and get attention further somewhere again.

I agree with you that Prob is town, at least for now, but I just want to make sure that everyone doesn't take that for granted. In the case he would be mafia, he would've had almost all of us like a dog in his leash, easily getting close to winning the game alone.

He he, thanks Ceph.

Ok, time to come clean. I know my play over the last day or so has been, how shall I say this, bad! My problem is that I would feel really bad for Cats if he was town because unlike others he has actually tried this game. Plus he was a little upset at me calling him terrible.

I pushed my case day 1 and was horribly wrong, but then again so was everyone else. Day 2 I push my cased again, really hard and was right, but no-one was really offering counter arguments (except Jistu). I lost confidence today in my scum hunting abilities and wanted some contributions from others that I could read. I am still in two minds about Cats, I can't tell if he is just really bad town.

If I can't make up my mind about Cats, that means the only option I have to find scum is to look elsewhere. Maybe it was a stupid plan, it was certainly not the most logical, but I felt I owed Cats something in return for his obvious commitment to this game.

Finally when I took a step back I realised the reason we have been targeting Cats is because he has been active. He has been constantly changing his mind and his interactions with Sheth make him look really bad. Like I have said before there is plenty of evidence for him being scum. That very point illustrates why I am concerned about his lynch.

The others have got away with posting nothing. If scum avoids the noose because a new townie posts a lot of stuff that looks scummy, I will feel real bad. He is clearly serious about playing. His posting is improving, the purpose of this game is help newbies get better. I am not saying I won't lynch Cats, I am just trying to look elsewhere.


Okay, I understand what you mean in your first paragraph. This is certainly a very mind-intensive game and it's really hard to not get too emotional in this. You should've just known how I felt the first day after your pressure, but I'll have to thank you for that. If it wasn't for that, I would've probably continued to play much more wishy-washily. Your case made me understand how hard it is to be under pressure, and after all the effort I spent to defend myself as townie, I knew that pressure if something would make the scum do mistakes. So that's why my play stepped up quite a bit (at least in my opinion it has).

I do agree it is a good idea to check into others though, even if we would end up lynching Cats today. Since we still need to find the third scum, and in the case that Cats is town, we have to find two scum. So obviously there's someone slipping under our radar for the moment. Let's make sure that won't last for long.

I hope I didn't come out as too strict, I definitely understand your points, but this is a game which I want to win. And we're like halfway done. Just keep up the concentration now and we will make it till the end, lynching the rest of the scum.

I'll preface this with "I know this is a stupid idea but"

I kind of want to lynch kronhjort just to get rid of that stupid lurking role. It is really fucking over town now. I have a scum read on Xeris which cannot be corroborated because kronhjort doesn't post. I mean the reasons we have for Cats could describe Xeris as well. His posting never took a stand on anything and he had some sort of connection with Sheth.

I am almost certain that either Xeris/kronhjort or Gretorp/Paperscraps is mafia and I can't tell because one of them has been inactive for most of the game.

Ceph, your game has picked up dramatically and if you can't see that Cats' is doing similar things, I am disappointed. Just look at his rebuttal of Paperscraps' case. Gonz is almost certainly town although he cannon-ball style posting makes it hard to get any real information from him. Blurry is useless but doesn't seem like scum to me.

In short my brain is hurting and I don't feel like I am getting any closer to making a decision.


I know it's fucking over the town now, but don't forget he will get modkilled today for sure. Most likely at the same time as the lynch. (If we get one that is, we need 5/8 (basically 5/7 because Kronhjort/Xeris is totally out)) So I don't think we should waste a lynch on him, since if he is red, he will flip that in the modkill.

You are right that Cats is picking up his game even though not in the same pace and in a different way. And I agree with you on Gonz. Not that sure about Blurry.

If worst comes to worst and we can't get a majority on Cats, then I wouldn't be against lynching Xeris(Kron). If you are sure that Xeris or I are mafia, then I am sure that it is him. This would help my case towards being town and we would be one less inactive.

Lynching Cats or Xeris is win-win for me.


The same for you, no point in killing Xeris since he will be modkilled at lynch, I am quite sure.

Is there anyone else than Cats you would vote for today? I want to see all the possibilities for today's lynch.

@ Cats: Give me a list of the persons you are willing to vote for today. (Based on your current opinion.)

Sheesh, before I post anything longer I just have to say this.

WHY ARE YOU GUYS EVEN THINKING ABOUT LYNCHING XERIS WHEN HE IS GOING TO BE MODKILLED?

If he shows up before lynch time, then we can check into that again.

Well this was unexpected. Here I am catching up on the thread, seeing Cats & Paper point fingers at each other, gonzaw pressuring Blurry, and now you claim medic?

And it's only 1h 15min -ish till lynch. Well this certainly doesn't make stuff any easier.

I'll have to get back and re-read your filter, I don't really know what to think of that claim...

The thing to watch for initially is whether or not a role blocker reveals himself. I doubt a role blocker would do anything so early however as they have no idea who to target and successfully cause some harm.

I would however advise against strongly pushing for a lynch without any concrete evidence or based solely off of speculation as with low killing power, lynching someone who is innocent would cause much more damage then simply not lynching at all.

Not directly to everyone but lets say player A is a detective. Player A gets role blocked one night and now knows which of the setups is present. This may not be shared with the entire town but is useful information for the specific player to have.

I haven't contributed much other than the Roleblocker thing but I will stand by that. If someone gets role blocked they should immediately say it. The more information the better, and it would be risky for a mafia to claim being role blocked if it gets revealed that there really isn't he is automatically implicated. So guys, if you get role blocked: make sure you tell us.

Probulous is the obvious choice as he has posted the most solid analysis thus far.

Other than that, I'm sorry I couldn't contribute more this first day as I am still new to this and am not sure what to look for in terms of reading players but by going over players posts I am getting a good idea and I'm sure my analysis quality will steadily improve over the course of the game.


I am trying to find breadcrumbs backing up to your claim of medic. You seem to talk a lot about roleblocking which would make sense if you were the medic. If someone was roleblocked, and they told it, you would also know there is a DT in this game then. That last message looks like you are excusing the fact that you are "hiding", basically not contributing much, just carefully poking into conversations when you can, trying to confirm yourself as townie but not wake up too much attention. I think that at least slightly speaks for your claim.

I've been trying to figure out why someone would target Tunkeg rather than someone like Probulous (posted the most analysis and was one of the most assertive players thus far). I think this could potentially tell us certain things.

Probulous posted his reads on all the players in the game categorizing them by who he thought was town/neutral/mafia. While this does not make him seem any more scummy. My instinct on this is that a player who is mafia is categorized by him as being town and this cover would be useful to the mafia in some way.

My other thought is that Tunkeg was pressuring someone that was mafia in a way that made him the biggest threat. He was pressuring Gonzaw and Cephiro and also did a little bit on Sheth. Since Cephiro was already cast under so much suspicion by Probulous I infer that there is a high chance that either Gonzaw or Sheth, or both are scum and am going to re-read their posts thoroughly. My initial instinct is that Sheth is the more likely candidate as he has literally posted zero analysis and has simply pressured or challenged peoples points rather than helping us weed out scum.


This post of yours semt so out of picture, but if you are actually the medic then it makes sense. You would have tried to protect Probu N1, thinking he would be the main target considering he was the most pro-town read by many at that point, and he was providing good analysis. So when your protection ended up not blocking a hit, this kind of thinking is what a medic would start to consider indeed.

Hard to say. :/ There seems to be small points pointing toward your favour, but it could have been intentional play since the start to fake-claim later.

Under the assumption you are the medic, did you even consider protecting anyone else on N2 seeing that the N1 protection wasn't on spot? I do see the point in protecting Probu since he has been one of the most (if not the most) active seemingly pro-town players thus far.

You role claimed after you were pressured by one person? OMG why?! Cephiro makes alot of good points towards you actually being a medic, and I'm about 85% sure you are. Well that leaves me and Paperscraps up for vote in 45 minutes. I would like to think I have done enough to redeem myself to live another day (I don't think I will be targeted in the night because of all of this new info). I think we should vote Paperscraps. Do you agree Blurry? bkrow? Probulous? Cephiro? Gonzaw?


I'm having a really hard time deciding whether I should vote for you or Paperscraps, since you two are the only ones likely to get lynched today.

You do understand that if we lynch Paperscraps, and he flips green, and you don't die during the night, you are pretty much lynched on D4 no matter what?

Are you that sure on Paperscraps being scum?

I'll have to re-read the filters of the both of you.

##Vote Paperscraps

If he flips green and Cats is alive in the morning.... I'll vote for him and won't change my vote no matter what.

I do this only because you've picked up your play and you finally stand by your case. I hope I am doing right in trusting you.

Sheesh I really don't fucking know. :/

Some of Blurry's posts genuinely point toward the fact that he would be the medic, but he couldn't have claimed at a worse time, look at all this chaos and mess! Which makes me doubt.

I'll vote in just a minute or two, I need to think x.x

Well, he certainly caused a fucking mess and he isn't even trying to stop it, and that is not something a medic should do.

##Vote Blurry

If he flips Blue, I am so going to check onto Prob and Gonzaw. Or whoever is alive in the morning.

I am very depressed ._. There is nothing preventing the scum from night-killing, so we're in MYLO until we mislynch or we lynch all the scum.

If ever, everyone should step up their play now. Read through everyone. EVERYONE. MULTIPLE TIMES. WE CAN NOT AFFORD A MISTAKE.
