Since voting is in the next 24 hours, I would like every one to post their top 2 scum reads within the next 12 hours. I want to know why they are your scum reads, quoting someone elses opinion is not acceptable. Must be backed up by some evidence, filter quotes, pyscological reasons why they would say that if they were scum, why their behaviour is scummy etc. Many people have said will post later scum opinions and never have.

All it needs to be is one person, and you don't have to put any effort into it if you don't want to. There's nothing against actually trying though. The reason this idea works is because it's so easy. Mafia can easily participate in any way they feel fit, but they are forced to participate. It also brings back discussion with updated information. Comply or be lynched. The only way I see this being exploited is if someone makes a simple post on someone and then lurks until it's lynching time. This behavior should be pretty easy to spot and pointed out by one of us, so I'm not too worried. On March 04 2012 08:08 Mementoss wrote: This post pretty much confirms town on DimmuKlok's part. All his posts have good content in it, and the game was at a current state where lurking was the majority and mafia could sit back and laugh to victory as for almost 6 hours since the lynch nothing significant has been posted. Not that many people have been claiming DimmuKlok as mafia, but I want to go back and check who actually did call DimmuKlok mafia. So DimmuKlok's proposal would have us naming scumlists, when nothing has happened and no one is going to have solid reads yet especially with all the new replacements, myself included. As shown in my quotes, this proposal is essentially one Mementoss proposed 2 days earlier. Mementoss then proceeds to support DimmuKlok as "confirmed town" with the game still at status quo. Can you elaborate on this? Throwing around confirm posts with no one being lynched or dead seems a little premature. For now, based on our last vote counts, we can still vote OtoshimonoU off since he hasn't been modkilled or replaced and hasn't defended himself against the claims presented towards him. Refute any of my points if inconsistent, I'm still new and may be missing logic somewhere. ##Vote OtoshimonoU | ||

We have 3 people just jumping in, and it puts a lot of pressure on us if we're new to post something constructive or remain a lurker. If we are to continue playing as is, isn't it better to get rid of a bad town rather than risk a no-lynch again? | ||

He would cast aside his own views if the majority has other views than him. Otoshi catches the attention of some. So he tries to defend himself with this bigworded post: On March 02 2012 11:04 OtoshimonoU wrote: Just a small opinion, Mr.Maverick and Mementoss are controlling the game and thoughts of the game in the Town's perspective. It's possible that they are using an aggressive method of mafia using long persuasive paragraphs. I read Maverick's post and feel he has absolute trust and certainty in Mementoss's accusations and posts. Maybe they just have a connection and my theory is wrong. It's true that they do have a connection and it does to me, seem very strong even if they might be just fellow towns that understand each other's logic. I don't feel the suspicion from neither lurkers nor the accused, they are just new and will not be able to write long constructive ideas without a single clue of evidence nor understanding the underlying message of people's posts. So what I see Mementoss has been giving pressure and Maverick is the back up. As scums they have nothing to gain by saying nothing and not gaining the control of the situation whenever. Those two have most likely the highest amount of posts that will swerve opinions over people. Also Maverick, you need to write something about your own behaviors in your own organization sheet or you just seem to avoid any fault in your own posts. On the first glance his theory of mafia being bigmouthed may have a point. He is suspecting Maverick, who has indeed contributed much to this thread now. But if Maverick was scum, would he really make a big post about probabilities only to influence innocent townies? Would mafia make such a big effort? Furthermore, the other guy he has been suspecting, mementoss, has flipped town. So Otoshi’s theory of two scums covering eachother has lost its base and its meaning. Also Maverick, you need to write something about your own behaviors in your own organization sheet or you just seem to avoid any fault in your own posts. Why would Maverick need to do that? It’s obvious that he’s assuming that he’s town himself, so no need for some words. Imo, his post was a ditch attempt to evade getting lynched, by blaming others and not explaining his behavior. Although he was on the verge of getting lynched, he didn’t try to explain his behavior. On March 03 2012 12:45 OtoshimonoU wrote: Hi Sbrubbles! For Mr. Trackd00r, I must say that I cannot answer your accusations because I cannot understand what exactly your question is and it's been getting on my nerves and I will refuse to quote them. I won't think negatively of anyone that wants to bandwagon and not think for themselves. So basing on the posts I have made I could either be an extremely dumb mafia someone who would be so transparent to give out such easy suspicion or a random townie that was trying to get a feel of the game and gets bombarded with accusation and receive more accusations for defending myself. I will stand on my suspicion over mementoss and maverick, but also state that DimmuKlok is giving me an iffy feeling. "I agree. Lets lynch beorn. He has yet to contribute and say who he feels is a good lynch candidate for today" "##FoS: Rainmaker5" "I'm somewhat lost when it comes to Sufficiency" "##Vote: OtoshimonoU" Maybe he's just a townie that doesn't understand what he wants to do or just wants to follow the leader or someone that wants someone lynched. I can't get a clear view of him, all I see from him is throwing out random thoughts. I don't understand Tiystus either. Hopefully someone can find what we're looking for. And Sufficiency, you're just confused and lost your head. None of your posts making sense, but I don't find you scummy.(jk) Now look at this post, it’s a real goldmine. I won't think negatively of anyone that wants to bandwagon and not think for themselves. Dude, you have been one of the biggest bandwaggoner so far. -.-‘ townie that was trying to get a feel of the game and gets bombarded with accusation and receive more accusations for defending myself. You never tried to defend yourself. The rest of his post consists of accusing two further posters. The difference between Sufficiency and him is that Suff didn’t try to blend in at all. It was his luck that some people didn’t vote and so therefore his demise was postponed. For now I will cast my vote on him, because he is my scum read number one. If you are able to explain something, then maybe I will overthink it, but till then, OtoshimonoU, I will have my watchful eyes on you. After reading the latest responses, I'm now a bit baffled. The majority opinion is that either Sufficiency or OtoshimonoU are scum, and that those are our two choices for a lynch. So here are my thoughts on them. My opinion on OtoshimonoU: The active players were already pushing for OtoshimonoU's lynch prior to the replacements, with mementoss being targetted and flipping green, it doesn't make sense to me that Mafia would accept OtoshimonoU getting lynched in response unless he didn't want to play anymore, I would like to hear from him to see if he is actually still going to be active before I throw my vote. It feels like a mislynch to me because OtoshimonoU hasn't given much in the way for defense, it seems more apathetic than really bad scum play. As quoted, blubbdavid's post suggests that he is more of a bandwagoner than anything truly malicious, and everyone that is bandwagoning in response on him seems like it is being directed by one of the active mafia posters posing as town. Now I am new to Mafia, but if everyone is already against you, how can you defend yourself without incurring claims of OMGUS? My opinion on Sufficiency: Looking through his filter, he also seems pretty apathetic. Mostly one line responses, nothing substantial, hasn't posted on his reads at all either. He originally targets OtoshimonoU and then later switches to beorn1 a lurker who has since been replaced. Both of these are easy decisions to make to seem town, but he hasn't commented on anyone else. Still highly suspicious behavior, and I'd be more willing to lynch Sufficiency first than to stay on the majority opinion of OtoshimonoU. If we have 48 hours for this day cycle, we need to give time for the accused to start responding, especially to the new replacements, so we can get better/updated reads. We have to lynch someone to try and gain more information, and having two easy suspects is fine for that, but I'd be leery that this is what mafia wants, us to mis-lynch while being directed by someone who is masquerading as one of the most active town posters. Final opinion: Give time for the accused to respond, but otherwise, I'm voting Sufficiency. | ||

We definitely have to get a successful lynch off on someone today otherwise mafia gets another free kill and we're still clueless. My top suspect so far is still Sufficiency, he still hasn't contributed anything meaningful and hasn't responded to any of the new accusations brought upon him. The other suspects proposed are OtoshimonoU and Rainmaker because he hasn't been active. I'm inclined to just leave OtoshimonoU alone for another day and vote someone else like Sufficiency or Rainmaker, but you guys are seriously pushing for OtoshimonoU... I am 90% confident that if we do decide to lynch OtoshimonoU he will flip green making the situation completely muddled. Better to get rid of someone who is barely active than a ridiculously easy target. If mafia were really pushing for his lynch than as stated, why has the vote been so hard to pull off? 3 Mafia + bandwagoning townies would have made it easy, the most likely reasoning is that we had too many lurkers fail to vote. That doesn't mean the Mafia are targetting him, that means that they are most likely content to just let us go after a mis-lynch on our own without trying to influence us too much. That being said, I will be willing to switch to the OtoshimonoU vote if people are dead set on it, and we need my vote. I will state for the record that I am against this, but if it's a choice between a no-lynch and OtoshimonoU then we have no choice, and can try and gain information from it. | ||

Either way, we'll have some answers in a couple hours... See this is what bugs me. It really doesn't clear anyone. Sufficiency is currently voting for a no lynch and Sbrubbles is voting Rainmaker. How is OtoshimonoU flipping green going to clear them when if they were Mafia, they would know if OtoshimonoU is town and if we have enough votes without Mafia pitching in to get rid of him. We have multiple people who were already dead set on OtoshimonoU, and then we have a couple others (myself included) who are willing to switch our votes to make sure a lynch 100% goes through. Now we have at least 3 people who are not voting OtoshimonoU. If we didn't have the swing votes, the lynch wouldn't go through AGAIN. This is clearly what the Mafia wants, us to be indecisive and confused while we keep losing key members during the night. If we mis-lynch we mis-lynch, but don't overstate how much information we're going to get. I already stated my opinion on Mementoss being targetted earlier as well, I think it was more he was the most active poster than for anyone in particular he had suspicions on. | ||

In this post he states clearly that he's completely ok with the current case on Oto and willing to lynch him. He even throws in a scapegoat for funzies(He's new). He then states here, as confusingly as possible, that he thinks lynching Oto would be a mislynch. Later in the post saying he's more ok with a Sufficiency lynch than Oto, because of Blubbdavids post. Here at the beginning, I point out that I have not played a single game of Mafia, and even worse I am a replacement coming in after a really poor Day1. I had no direct interaction with anyone, I was under the burden of making a case based on what was already written, and based on that I agreed with the OtoshimonoU case and supported it. + Show Spoiler + On March 05 2012 04:23 willz22912 wrote: Just saw that OtoshimonoU just voted for himself, I think he's just giving up at this point because it's too hard to defend yourself if everyone already is on you. If he is that uninterested in the game, lynching him now seems really pointless and won't give any information. He's now sure that Oto is town and lynching him will give no information. I bolded it for importance. If Oto was mafia, obviously him getting lynched would give us plenty of information. All of these point of views are not incriminating yet, but important to keep in mind when you read this: This is where he begins to try to prove his innocence, while still getting rid of Oto. When you read this post, it's made very clear to you that he thinks Oto is green. I'd go even further to say that he knows that he's green. But alas, "That being said, I will be willing to switch to the OtoshimonoU vote if people are dead set on it, and we need my vote. I will state for the record that I am against this, but if it's a choice between a no-lynch and OtoshimonoU then we have no choice, and can try and gain information from it." Yea, lets get that information out of him that you said there wasn't any of... Here is after OtoshimonoU finally responded (by voting for himself) after not even trying to defend himself with any critique on the analysis done against him. This changed my opinion on him to being a townie with everyone against him rather than a true Mafia. That opinion was stated, but I also acknowledge that it is suspicious of me to flip-flop by agreeing in the beginning, changing my vote to Sufficiency, and then changing back to OtoshimonoU to make sure the vote goes through. I should have been more steadfast in my opinion and continued to vote against OtoshimonoU once I made my position/thoughts clear. I now know better for the future. + Show Spoiler + On March 06 2012 08:15 willz22912 wrote: Adding on/clarifying for my last sentence. If it's a choice between a no-lynch and OtoshimonoU again, then yeah we may as well see what his flipping will give us for information. I guess I'll just switch my vote to OtoshimonoU now to make sure it goes through, but I still think it's a mistake. This post was made immediately after. He has the inherent feeling that he needs to defend his choice without anyone accusing him. Remember, it's for the information. As stated above, I posted that I believed with a 90% certainty that OtoshimonoU was town based on his reactions to the accusations and keeping in mind everyone is a general newbie. I was trying to empathize with his situation and see that I would probably have done the exact same thing in his case, because the momentum was completely against me and it was already too late to convince any of the replacements of my innocence. That being said, my posts were as a response to Maverick, arguing with him over OtoshimonoU's case, and debating the amount of information to be gained. My opinion was that it was too late to try and save OtoshimonoU, even though I personally believed in his innocence. In that case, a mis-lynch would at least show that he was town, and cast suspicion on those who initially voted for him. However, I could not say with 100% certainty that he was town, so there was also a case of OtoshimonoU actually being truly Mafia, which would have justified everything and made my read incorrect. Either way, a lynch was needed to gain the information we have, whereas if I did not vote for OtoshimonoU I'm not sure the vote would have gone through, leading to no new information gained again. In the event that if I did not vote for OtoshimonoU and caused a no-lynch, leaving OtoshimonoU alive is also not a very good response, seeing as how he had 0 credibility and was still going to be the most suspicious suspect for a lot of people and seemed unenthusiastic about continuing to play in his situation. + Show Spoiler + On March 06 2012 09:22 willz22912 wrote: This post is the most telling. He tells everyone what he knew all along. Oto flipping green will not give information. He also knows that Oto is going to flip green, and that explains all the effort he put in to make sure that he would not be a suspect after his death. His last 3 posts were shortly before the lynch, and all pushed the same message. Oto being lynched was the perfect way for Willz to look innocent and to stay out of the light. It was too suspicious not to bring up. After thinking about it, a DT check on Willz wouldn't be too bad of an idea either. This part, I don't really understand either. I was again disagreeing with Maverick about his opinion: "I know I say 'significantly' like its a huge amount of people, but I really think that it clears both sufficiency (who I'm HIGHLY suspicious of, and burbbles) I was stating that in the event of OtoshimonoU flipping green (which was the case), it doesn't clear anyone of suspicion because the lynch took 2 days to accomplish and required new votes from the replacements who could or could not be Mafia. Everyone is still under scrutiny for voting for OtoshimonoU in my opinion because it was such an easy case to make to gain credibility as looking "town." In the emphasis you made about me knowing information, I felt based on my read that OtoshimonoU was green, and was continually harping on that in my discussion with Maverick. Personally, I can see the case you're trying to make against me, but it really seems like you're taking my conversation/responses to Maverick out of context more than I was trying to look innocent. In fact, I was going to continue with Mementoss' thought that you were town, but now you have given me pause to reconsider my opinion of you. I will follow up on this with my own counter-analysis, but it involves part of what Sbrubbles already posted. | ||

I was continuing with the read made by the late Mementoss that DimmuKlok was town. However with his attack on me, while justified in a certain degree with my behavior, I find that he has overextended himself and shown his true colors to be scum. Now let's go over his post history. I'm not going to quote the filler posts here, so don't accuse me of picking and choosing, this post is already going to be super long without me adding everything DimmuKlok ever said added on to it. + Show Spoiler + On March 02 2012 07:59 DimmuKlok wrote: Because some of you are starting to look at Mementoss, I'm going to post my opinion on him quickly and post my scum reads a bit later. Mementoss's posts thus far seem pro town to me. He's been either giving his opinion on the topic at hand, pointing out inactives, and posting his scum reads. Look at this quote for example. + Show Spoiler + On March 02 2012 05:46 Mementoss wrote: No, random lynch is not good at all. Better to go on some hunch. We already have a few little hunches that I would rather go on then just nothing at all. We also have someone who is inactive thus far. Those are 2 better options then random lynch. Also, looking at Pablols filter, Stance: Random Lynch, lynch someone who opposes the lynch. --> Labels first post of the game as suspicious. 1 liner, no real logic to why its suspicious. Filler really. --> Sentences like this " Looking at the numbers it seems as if we should play passive until we get more information since there is a high chance of lynching a townie, however, don't forget that we must take risks." that say nothing, and generally contradict themselves. -->"In my opinion, it is probably better to pick someone at random. " - Again contradicting to passive play, also lacks care of his stated high chance of getting a townie. -->Also he is trying to derail discussion of the actual person we should look to be lynching, by trying to bring up an old discussion that has already been over with. The idea of random lynching. The general consensus of those without scummy tendencies have been to try and figure out a good candidate to lynch or lynch no one at all. He is really trying to push a lynch no matter what, risky play. As the townie mafia numbers get closer, the mafia advantage rises significantly. Two bad lynches could be game. Logic should be our weapon, not rolling the dice. All in all lynching someone with no basis is an absolutely terrible option in this situation. Some circumstances in the game where you cannot risk the scum even getting 1 up, and you have no leads is a good situation to pick someone at random. This is not the case. We currently hold our people advantage and there is no desperation at this point in the game. That being said I think we have some decent information to come up with the best lynchable candidate and we should try to keep discussing to get as much information out there as we can based on peoples post behavior. Here are my top picks for scum right now: OtoshimonoU Pablols Sufficiency (although trackd00r brings up a point about his sloppy posts) Not counting Beorn cause I think it might be cause hes a noob and just forgot about the game starting to be honest. But he is in my mind too. Even if all his scum picks were wrong, it's still pro town to put it out there. It forces responses from the accused, which brings more information to the table. He first establishes his credibility in the beginning by defending Mementoss, who was one of the most active posters in the thread and who was killed off Night1. If he was Mafia, he would look town by defending Mementoss, but now there's a reason that Mementoss was targetted first. By killing Mementoss off early right after he posts supporting DimmuKlok and "confirming town" he removes suspicion from himself, and can use his previous support of Mementoss to defend himself. Pretty scummy behavior here, I hope everyone else agrees. + Show Spoiler + On March 02 2012 17:59 DimmuKlok wrote: Sufficiency, while you're here could you explain to me in more detail why you chose OtoshimonoU and gunman103?

You question Sufficiency, he gives a very vague response "gutty feelings", and you don't follow up on that, but then you agree with Sufficiency on lynching Beorn without question? This is even more damning when reading the following post: + Show Spoiler + On March 03 2012 06:50 DimmuKlok wrote: Defending Mementoss was simply me trying to get the conversation in a more productive direction and off someone I thought was innocent at the time. Bandwagoning with Sufficiency actually had nothing to do with Sufficiency at all. When Sufficiency posted that he wanted to lynch Beorn, I quickly agreed and threw my vote on him. This was done in order to pressure Beorn out of hiding. In the post I hint at exactly what I want him to do, and that's to "contribute and say who he feels is a good lynch candidate". I suspected him as scum so his response was going to give me a lot of information. I even make another post to put the pressure back on Beorn and get some information out of him here: My vote was not initially intended for Beorn, nor did I intend to keep it on him, because I didn't think he would get enough votes before the deadline. I'm changing my vote to Oto, who I originally intended on voting for. I want to state however that we cannot let this continue after today. We will always be more conformable with lynching someone who we have a read on, but we need a way to get lurkers to post. Consider this scenario... mafia without any consequences of not contributing can just chill day after day while everyone kills each other. On Day 2 I think we should seriously consider lynching lurkers, or start conversation on how to get them to post more. So now we see that DimmuKlok was agreeing with Sufficiency only to "draw Beorn out of hiding" but really he wanted to vote for OtoshimonoU the whole time, because he knew that Beorn wouldn't get enough votes and he wanted to make sure OtoshimonoU got lynched? Remember this behavior when I bring up how OtoshimonoU finally got lynched. Beorn ended up being a lurker and was replaced, targetting him was an easy move for any Mafia trying to blend in and pointing out obvious targets. The interaction between Sufficiency and DimmuKlok is pretty telling, DimmuKlok wasn't trying to bandwagon and support his fellow Mafia at all! + Show Spoiler + On March 03 2012 07:18 DimmuKlok wrote: I'm somewhat lost when it comes to Sufficiency. I can't tell if he's smart and trying to get reactions out of people with his posts, or one of the many other things I've considered. If people are interested I can make a more detailed case on my opinion of him, but even I'm not too confident in my read on him. Pretty cute/telling here as well. He realizes that his interaction with Sufficiency has been pretty non-existant so he posts this to make sure there are no assumptions on them working together. He offers to post a more detailed case on him (which no one asks for) so he gets away scot free. + Show Spoiler + On March 04 2012 09:57 DimmuKlok wrote: My idea and Mementoss's idea are actually very different. His idea was to force everyone into coming up with 2 very detailed cases on 2 different people. There were lots of problems with this plan. One of which he states right after he tells everyone the plan: All town need to participate and the cases need to be damn good or they will get accused. This meant that the mafia simply didn't have to participate and all it took was one town player to not put in the effort. If you were going to participate you needed to put in a lot of effort, therefor not many people contributed and the idea died. Not surprising considering 4 people didn't even put in the effort to vote, and at least one was town. This idea has none of those problems. You can choose to benefit the town by making a more detailed post on your scum read, but you don't have to. What you do have to do is post. Don't, and we'll simply lynch you. I'm not going to lie, the major problem with this plan is that we can't lynch someone that we have a case on unless we are nearly 100% sure he is mafia. Simply because we need to have consequences for not participating, and that's getting lynched. Even that one problem is minor, though. A townie will not want to be lynched, therefor he will at least post. That will continue to narrow down the list of lurkers until you would have to be stupid not to accuse someone in order to not get lynched. If everyone is smart, everyone will post, and we can get new information out there and everyone participating. In the chance that we have 1-3 lurkers when it comes time to vote, we'll have to pick which we feel is the best to lynch. I don't see that happening though with how easy it is to keep yourself from getting lynched(Post a scum read). When and if there are no lurkers, we can go back to voting for who you want to lynch. So this was posted after Day1 and the unsuccessful lynch of OtoshimonoU. He tries to keep pretending his pro-town stance here by proposing this "everyone posts 1 scum read." It is important to see this in context as well from what we know now. Mementoss had the original idea and I called him out on this and he defended himself by saying "well it's not really the same." Sure what you wanted us to do compared to Mementoss was in the details different, but again, the general idea was posting scum reads, which was originally proposed by Mementoss. You are staying in his shadow to keep looking town. + Show Spoiler + On March 05 2012 08:27 DimmuKlok wrote: GG Mementoss, it's been fun. OtoshimonoU, what is your read on Sufficiency?

He then states here, as confusingly as possible, that he thinks lynching Oto would be a mislynch. Later in the post saying he's more ok with a Sufficiency lynch than Oto, because of Blubbdavids post. He's now sure that Oto is town and lynching him will give no information. I bolded it for importance. If Oto was mafia, obviously him getting lynched would give us plenty of information. All of these point of views are not incriminating yet, but important to keep in mind when you read this: This is where he begins to try to prove his innocence, while still getting rid of Oto. When you read this post, it's made very clear to you that he thinks Oto is green. I'd go even further to say that he knows that he's green. But alas, "That being said, I will be willing to switch to the OtoshimonoU vote if people are dead set on it, and we need my vote. I will state for the record that I am against this, but if it's a choice between a no-lynch and OtoshimonoU then we have no choice, and can try and gain information from it." Yea, lets get that information out of him that you said there wasn't any of... This post was made immediately after. He has the inherent feeling that he needs to defend his choice without anyone accusing him. Remember, it's for the information. This post is the most telling. He tells everyone what he knew all along. Oto flipping green will not give information. He also knows that Oto is going to flip green, and that explains all the effort he put in to make sure that he would not be a suspect after his death. His last 3 posts were shortly before the lynch, and all pushed the same message. Oto being lynched was the perfect way for Willz to look innocent and to stay out of the light. It was too suspicious not to bring up. After thinking about it, a DT check on Willz wouldn't be too bad of an idea either. Ahh my favorite part, where he has over-extended and now has shown his true [red]scum colors. The reasoning behind him attacking me is fairly obvious, I was being flip floppy over my vote and choices, he called me out on it. I am now a valid target for lynching day3 and an easy case to make from his opinion. However, it backfired because it was a weak argument, and I was defended by blubbdavid and Sburbbles (who was killed Night2). This leads to: + Show Spoiler + On March 07 2012 12:24 DimmuKlok wrote: GG Sbrubbles. Looking forward to it, Willz. I admit my accusation wasn't the most solid. I stand by everything I said, but I accept the explanation you have given. I'm going to see what I can put together with the information we gained with Sbrubbles and Rainmakers death. So he sees that the case against me isn't going his way, more people are suspicious of him than me, realizes his mistake, and posts this in rebuttal? "Oops I guess my accusation wasn't the most solid?" This is also after Sbrubbles gets killed off, one of my strong defenders and one of the people who calls out DimmuKlok. He makes this post to bide his time and await another chance to make new accusations. If he was really town, he should be defending his stance a lot more than meekly backing down. So finally in summary: DimmuKlok pretends to be town and proposes many pro-town things, and shields himself by defending Mementoss.

Thirty minutes remain DimmuKlok initially votes Beorn1 a lurker agreeing with his buddy Sufficiency here. However, he sees that the vote is more likely to go in favor for OtoshimonoU and changes it accordingly. Day2 he doesn't post any new reasoning behind staying for OtoshimonoU, and calls me out for changing my vote to OtoshimonoU even though it was my opinion that OtoshimonoU would be town. Now that OtoshimonoU was successfully lynched as a mis-lynch he is looking for new targets, and the case against me is made to start suspicion for a day3 lynch. As for the night kills and how they help DimmuKlok. DimmuKlok built his credibility by defending Mementoss, Mementoss was also one of the most active posters and even commented saying DimmuKlok was "confirmed town". By killing him that Night1, he retains his credibility and removes one of the most dangerous threats to people noticing his inconsistency. Night2, killing Sbrubbles aside from being our medic, was one of my defenders, and even called out DimmuKlok for his more suspicious behavior. Removing him would weaken any arguments I make because I could not use his future support. I truly believe that DimmuKlok is truly [red]scum and I would highly suspect Sufficiency as well. If town is to win this game, we need to not have a single mis-lynch, and we can only do that by agreeing on the most likely suspects. I hope you agree with this case and choose to vote DimmuKlok for day3. This post was already super long, but please take a look at my supporters blubbdavid and Sbrubbles and their evidence against DimmuKlok as well. ##Vote: DimmuKlok | ||

You said yourself we can't have a single mislynch, yet your proposal is to lynch the guy who's so pro town he's suspicious. The most surprising part of your post is that you were actually willing vote for me immediately after it. I'm guessing it's a scare tactic. If I was worried about being considered mafia, I wouldn't be so open with my posting. If you look at my posts from a town point of view, it's very easy to see my agenda in every post. I'm going to post again soon with any info I can come up with. Lets try to keep it as active as possible for this day. To DimmuKlok: So what's your read on Sufficiency that you promised to post if anyone asked, and can you explain what I quoted about your interaction with him Day1 and blindly agreeing with him to vote Beorn1 even though you contradict yourself later and say you were planning on voting for OtoshimonoU all along? That's town behavior in your opinion, if it is, then why'd you call me out for doing the same vote changing on OtoshimonoU? You're still my top pick for scum, sorry. As for everyone else, I can see trackd00r's case on gunman, but then trackd00r hasn't posted anything at all regarding DimmuKlok's accusations towards me, and neither have the other lurkers. So we take our chances picking a random lurker like gunman based off one person's case? With probably little to no rebuttal? I at least presented some serious points against DimmuKlok, but if you people want to roll the dice, then I'm not changing my vote this time. On March 08 2012 04:13 blubbdavid wrote: Let me check some points of your post willz. The death of Mementoss indeed built up some cred. But not so much like Otos death did for Scrubbles. Killing a townie after he supports you is a risky tactic, wouldn't it be better if Mementoss lived to support Dimmu? And by killing Scrubbles, wouldn't it make it obvious to take a look at Dimmu? I mean Scrubbles was against Dimmu. By killing Scrubbles, Dimmu would easily get the suspicion of us. That's just something that worried me about your analysis. But I pretty much like the rest. But I will stay on gunmaker for now. To blubbdavid: How would killing a townie after he supports you be a risky tactic after the poor events of Day1? There was hardly any participation, the majority of players Day1 had low post counts, DimmuKlok and Mementoss were one of the most active. Would anyone have any good reason why Mementoss was targetted or any supsects? No, of course not, there was little information, and no reason to suspect DimmuKlok at this time. Do you really think that all mafia just try and lurk as much as possible? It's fairly obvious to go after lurkers, but it is not obvious to go after people who are the most active. Being active does not and should not give you the automatic feeling that someone is town, nor should it be a defense. Take a look at DimmuKlok's filter yourself and see how much useful information he really does post. It's not a lot, but hey he's active right? By removing the only other active poster and having so much credibility, DimmuKlok dispels a lot of suspicion towards him, which is what Mafia would want! But even if you disregard how the Night kills may or may not have affected DimmuKlok, can you explain his behavior with Sufficiency, or the fact that he called me out and then retracted it with a "I guess my case wasn't that strong" when numerous people jumped to my defense? Why make a case against me at all then if you're not confident in your read. He says my vote against him is a scare tactic, at least I'm willing to stand by my case and defend it until he posts a convincing defense besides one paragraph. In fact, I'm interested in seeing DimmuKlok's opinion on who we should vote for, considering you all believe he is still town. | ||

I have no other read on Sufficiency besides his lack of posting and his previous behavior, and it seems like he's our only concrete suspect at this time. Guess we'll see who gets killed off this Night... | ||

Myself: I made a poor case of defending OtoshimonoU, I overly accused DimmuKlok, and I haven't contributed to this thread much targetting any other player. My vote on gunman was bandwagoning 100%, I wanted to push DimmuKlok but could not convince the majority, and I did not disagree with the read on gunman and I didn't want to waste my vote. Objectively, I can say that this is suspicious behavior and warrants more scrutiny, I can only hope that you can see that it's more poor town play than Mafia behavior, but I freely state that I should be a valid suspect for a Day4 lynch. Sufficiency: Probably mafia. You can see through this posts that he hasn't put that much effort. He says that playing Mafia is too time consuming, and personally I agree with that, but there is no other read to make other than either really poor town play or scum, but we can't afford a mis-lynch, so this gets tricky. DimmuKlok: Possible suspect. I made a case against him earlier using his interaction with Sufficiency as one of my key points. I honestly don't know about him now. If he was Mafia, he definitely bus'd gunman so that we would just finish ourselves off with a mis-lynch. However, he could just be town and I misread him, I really can't say and as stated, we can't afford a mis-lynch so we have to be really sure. Maverick23: Probably town. One of the more active posters, but a lot of his posts reading through filter were pretty useless. He was also one of the ones who tunneled really hard on OtoshimonoU, so I was initially very concerned and kept him in mind as a possible suspect. Still, looking through his behavior throughout the game, the only thing I can really accuse him of using his own words is being a too "bloodthirsty" townie. He made several good points on other people like besides OtoshimonoU that I do agree wit trackd00r: Neutral, possible suspect. The stunt you pulled last minute was pretty annoying to me to be honest. I was trying to keep track of the thread's activity in between doing schoolwork, and was lurking the thread for a good couple of hours to keep up to date on any shenanagins. Then I wasn't on the computer close to the deadline and you made your switch case. This really set off my suspicions, but if you say it was a bait tactic, I'll have to take your word for it. I feel like your analysis of Mafia's possible options to be pretty spot on, but I think you're discounting the fact that vote was a mis-lynch = town lose situation. In that case, I think gunman was not worth saving if he was such a strong suspect for everyone, and a radical vote change to save him would be too obvious for his teammates . All Mafia need to do at this point is lie low and drive us to a mis-lynch. So your proposal was neat, but it was highly doubtful they were going to take the bait... but if you were Mafia it would give you the opportunity to show town goodwill while still bussing gunman103, so now you're a suspect to me, or I just read everything in a too suspicious doublethink measure (been reading 1984 for class ;p) blubbdavid: Probably town. Defended me along with Sbrubbles against DimmuKlok's case. Don't know what else to make about that behavior when he could have easily supported DimmuKlok and made me a possible lynch candidate for Day3. He also threw valid holes in my counter-case against DimmuKlok, so he isn't a blind bandwagoner, even though he did end up "liking my case" a lot. I can't read this as anything besides town behavior towards me and in general. | ||

He came into this thread as a replacement and with some strong analysis against Sufficiency and OtoshimonoU. As we've seen Oto flipped green, making this suspect now. Other than that, he hasn't posted that much except in my defense. He was one of the ones who started the vote against gunman, and was the one I listened to after I asked who to vote for Day3. I don't have a good read on him other than how he's interacted with me, and pointing me towards gunman seems like town behavior. I apologize but this is my first game and I came in as a replacement. I also have been getting busier with school so I would like to wrap this up win or lose pretty fast, and I just don't have time to really read over every single world everyones ever said. I have played pretty poorly so far in my own opinion and I can't really offer much in the way of evidence against anyone except for the case that I made against DimmuKlok which is too risky to pursue until we see how Sufficiency flips. In summary as well, I'm most likely going to vote Sufficiency Day4 unless major information is obtained on who gets killed this night that gives us a better suspect. | ||

This is your second reason for me being mafia... I've already stated that was one of my multiple attempts at getting more info out of Sufficiency. My reaction and that face at the end was the face of me coming the realization that Sufficiency wasn't a mastermind, just someone who didn't want to put time into this thread. What about him? Am I supposed to be mentioning Sufficiency in all my posts? I've explained multiple times that post was to get Beorn out of hiding and had nothing to do with Sufficiency. Sufficiency just randomly accused beorn, and I took that opportunity to try and get him to start posting. Him being a confirmed townie didn't make that post any more useful. I was correct in my suspicion of him. He ended up just being an inactive townie who got mod killed, instead of a mafia unwilling to contribute like I suspected. There is no need for this to be included in your case against me. The fact that it was included should be looked upon as suspicious. Why would there be anything on Sufficiency? This was posted right after I proposed a lynch on Beorn with Sufficiency! The reason for the post was to pressure Beorn, which I explained here: You of all people should know this, considering this post was directed at you. Once again, highly suspicious that this made it into your case on me. Um, what? This is the post that was describing my bandwagoning with Sufficiency and our so called "connection" you claim we have. "No mention of Sufficiency", not sure what you mean by this. There is no reason for me to be randomly accusing him in that post. Yes, actually it did. Nobody asked for it until willz, and when he did I answered his question about beorn, along with my read on Sufficiency in the next post. As I stated above, because of his inactivity it was hard to have a good case on him: That post is simply me trying to get more information out of Oto. How you came to that conclusion and felt it was worth including in your list of reasons I'm mafia, is beyond me. If I was mafia, why would I care if a DT case went down on Rain? We now know he was a inactive towny, which I would have known at the time if i was mafia. Another massive slip Maverick. Funny you say that now. You initial response was "Dim... I like that post.. a lot... ". Sounds like a lot of bandwagoning to me. It's obvious you're making wild assumptions. That was not a defense of Sufficiency. I was giving my read on him at the time and I even said in the post that I would only consider him town if his early posts were to generate reactions and responses, which he never said was the case. Once again you're just making the assumption I'm mafia. Saying "defending would be too obvious" isn't going to prove anything. How is this a reason I'm mafia? How bout you, buddy? With how many slips you made in that post, it's obvious. I urge everyone to go through Mavericks filter and see for yourself. ##FoS: Maverick32x This is my point of view while reading the thread. You said you still suspected Sufficiency. Maverick still suspected Sufficiency. You now suspect Maverick. You are trying to convince other town to vote for you. By the time I came into this thread and read up tonight, you had declared your vote for Maverick and you were 100% confident. I am asking for clarification since we still have time and there is no need to rush, and you use this to justify calling me Mafia? The fact that I was willing to push a Sufficiency lynch that you yourself agreed with not more than a day ago? It all comes to blubb in the tiebreaker and who he believes I guess. Or hell, I'll even listen to Sufficiency and see his reasons. | ||

It's not hard to understand. Mavericks case on me made it obvious he was mafia. A simple look through his filter is all it takes to confirm the suspicion. With that knowledge it was easy to see that the push to lynch Sufficiency was something that was going to cost us the game. Looking at Sufficiency's posts, you can't be clear if he is a bad town or mafia. Either way, he's inactive. What makes it a dead give away is Mavericks eagerness to lynch him. Even with me being just as likely as a suspect in his eyes, he's willing to wait because the Sufficiency lynch was easier at the time. When you posted with the exact same intentions, it was too obvious. Blubb and Sufficiency, please read everything I've posted and post back. This is all I'm going to have time for tonight, but I'll be back in the morning. Fine, even assuming your assumptions about Maverick are true, why is anyone going along with Sufficiency first whom I suspected more than OtoshimonoU when they were the two likely suspects = Mafia behavior? Blubbdavid( who we both agree with is town) has commented that even he agrees with the case on Sufficiency as well. You also state here: "Looking at Sufficiency's posts, you can't be clear if he is a bad town or mafia." This is the exact same reasoning we lynched OtoshimonoU, we didn't know any better that early in the game if he was bad town or mafia. Sufficiency exhibited the exact same behavior and has hardly been present in any discussion, but now you're willing to believe in him being town late game? You were perfectly fine with lynching OtoshimonoU, but now you leap to defend Sufficiency, who isn't even active enough to contribute? Myself, Blubbdavid and Maverick have all made various posts detailing how we were against Sufficiency because of his behavior. You have agreed with this up until now, I have quoted a post you made here that you still haven't made any comment on: On March 10 2012 07:59 DimmuKlok wrote: I'm assuming Sufficiency is one of the mafia that we have left. I'm less confident with going with someone else at the time. You only change your opinion after Maverick questions you, and you lump me into it based on your previous case of me + the fact that I was still willing to push sufficiency? EVEN IF YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT MAVERICK, I asked if you still agreed with the case on Sufficiency, because in that case we should still push for that lynch and sort out the last mafia with that information. I would have been willing to hear you out regarding Maverick if you made a better case and you did not deflect my questions about your views on Sufficiency. I was asking clarification, you used that post to justify lumping me with Maverick. In your spat with Maverick before I made that post, you also posted this: On March 10 2012 13:42 DimmuKlok wrote: What makes you think I know? I'm sure they will reveal themselves eventually. Probably in a similar fashion. So you were setting up anyone who was going to question you with this post. This is right after you make your case against Maverick, but no one is allowed to punch holes in it? No one is allowed to comment on the suddeness of this change when you have consistently been against Sufficiency? It's either your way or Mafia? If you have one agreed on suspect, and still have 1 more Mafia to find, and you claim to find that Mafia, why not go for the agreed on suspect first? How is that un-townlike behavior? It is still removing a Mafia if we are correct, and all evidence points against Sufficiency. You still have to convince the rest of the town to your opinion You made the radical switch, claiming this as you "solving the puzzle". Why is this town behavior? Did you not agree with Sufficiency's case, then why keep posting that you do? We keep pointing to your "connection" with Sufficiency. The fact is, he hasn't posted enough to justify any defense of him. I tried with OtoshimonoU but still couldn't convince anyone to switch, how is this now any different? How are you willing to suggest Sufficiency is town when he hasn't posted anything worth defending. Where is his town behavior, where is his opinions on the rest of us, who does he think is Mafia? None of that exists. It could likely be Sufficiency is really town and we force a mis-lynch, but it also equally likely that Sufficiency is Mafia and we keep going, but like OtoshimonoU, we won't know until we lynch him. Unless you have inside information like being our DT or being Mafia, those are the only two explanations to really "know" what alignment he really is. And this final quote from you is what really annoys me: On March 10 2012 07:18 DimmuKlok wrote: Please vote for me if you think I'm mafia. If you're all willing to throw the game away on such a stupid idea, then I'm not going to put in the effort to help this town. This is still Mafia, this is still a my-lo situation, we still don't have concrete reads unless one of us is the DT, and he hasn't claimed. But no we can't suspect you because we would throw the game away because of your arrogant behavior. You aren't going to single handedly win this game even if you made all the correct reads if you can't convince others to support you by being supremely arrogant. Even now though DimmuKlok, I'm willing to hold off on voting against you, because I'm trying to be objective and not use my previous angry feelings towards you. So make your case to sway my vote, I'll be back in 12 hours and I will decide then. | ||

However, I feel like letting Sufficiency stand as it is is giving him too much power. It is a close vote as it is, 3 people needed to get a lynch, but Sufficiency is free to cast his vote when he wishes without any explanation. If we do have a DT as town, I think now's the time to claim to try and make the choice, keeping in mind they possibly also have a godfather. We make a wrong choice and it's GG, there's no point trying to save it unless you never ran a check on any of us. I'm inclined to get rid of Sufficiency first, and if he flips Mafia, then logically go after DimmuKlok. However, if you guys think DimmuKlok is the more dangerous of the two, then I will go along with it. I'm trying to be objective in my opinion on DimmuKlok since he could possibly still be town and correct, but I'm finding it very hard after he jumped the gun on me, again. | ||

If Sufficiency flips red like we all think he will, then the trail points at DimmuKlok 100% so we would have a solid gameplan for the next day. I feel we shouldn't be overconfident and rely on a modkill, only town people have gotten modkilled ;p | ||

Although DimmuKlok helped us continue the game with a successful lynch on a Mafia, he could have easily just bus'd his teammate (since he hasn't contributing anyway) to gain last second credibility for the final vote. Don't take this sudden cooperation blindly without looking for possible motives why. Blubbdavid made a post asking if he should switch to Dim or Sufficiency and we posted 20 minutes after that saying Sufficiency, but he never changed his mind. This could have potentially been a game-ender as with a no-lynch we would have lost a town for free this night and had insufficiency majority to keep going. He posted his reasoning, but still, risking a game loss because "I wasn't able to change my vote, neither did I want to do it" has to be suspicious at this point in the game. Maverick jumped onto Sufficiency with me even though I proposed an option to go after DimmuKlok immediately (using Blubbdavid's vote that he never changed) so we would still have had the 3 neccessary. He had the opportunity if he was Mafia to prosecute a potentially innocent town and win the game, so this clears him in my mind. And of course I know for myself I'm town, so that leaves DimmuKlok and Blubbdavid as my two likely suspects. However, I still think it's DimmuKlok and that he's the Mafia godfather because he has been too brazen with his posting for anything otherwise. Without fear from a DT check, he's pushed several cases on us without success and has had too many holes in his theories. Don't forget as well all of the town deaths have also benefited him in some way. Mementoss gave him credibility, Sbrubbles was one of his accusers and also defended me against his case, trackd00r was also in support of me and had suspicions against DimmuKlok. Out of the possible 3 Mafia, we've killed two goons, which means either it's only 3 goons, or there has been a godfather in play all along, and the only person thats left that fits the bill is DimmuKlok. I'm fairly confident of my read on DimmuKlok being Mafia, but even if you are truly town DimmuKlok, you've lost all credibility because you've attacked all 3 of us now in some way with little to no evidence. If you didn't point fingers so wildly, we might have been more sympathetic to your posts, but not anymore. Your actions aren't the actions of a "town who's solved the puzzle", your actions are of a Mafia trying to find some desperate way to stay alive. My fingers on you and I hope the town votes you next day. ##FOS: DimmuKlok with vote to follow if I don't get killed off. | ||

Sufficiency was getting modkilled or lynched, he was gone one way or another. This is getting lucky for town, that Sufficiency was so inactive that he gets modkilled, but it was still going to let the game continue. Therefore DimmuKlok saving us for extra credibility is the only plausible explanation left. He could not have won by forcing a no-lynch if Sufficiency is modkilled anyway. I repeat, HE COULD NOT HAVE WON from not voting, so that claim is a last ditch effort to buy credibility. Even now he's being super arrogant in his behavior saying that he shouldn't be considered a suspect. Really dude? You made a giant post calling out Maverick and said you were "100% confident in your read." Then you said the two Mafia teammates left were me and Maverick, which now couldn't possible be true since I checked that during the vote. If i was Mafia and I made that post saying Sufficiency was likely to get modkilled and wanted to lynch an innocent town, I would have called for it and pushed your death DimmuKlok, same with Maverick. That clears both of us if we were Mafia, since we both had a way to "win the game" just like you did, except ours was 100% and yours was entirely dependent on if Sufficiency was afk. Honestly, I've made the posts against you DimmuKlok in my filter, you have now accused ALL of us in some way, is that somehow supposed to make us like you more as town? I've said it before, Mafia is a team game, and your behavior while possibly townlike is very very arrogant and makes us not like you. So if you were town all along, sorry but you gave us no choice. The last suspect left is Blubbdavid and he also warrants suspicion. The last thing DimmuKlok should have tried was claiming DT as well, to cause a he said/she said split and make us vote for who is more believable. In that situation though, I think he knows that he's on everyones suspect list and that claim wouldn't fly. So I'm inclined to believe Blubbdavid's claim that he is the real DT, but I have to point out as well that this is poor timing. He already had enough credibility with town and we were already pushing for his target DimmuKlok. There is no need in this case to actually make the claim. He actually removes himself as a target because if he gets killed tonight then we are completely on DimmuKlok, but if he really is a Mafia this is the perfect way to explain not being a target and reinforce our DimmuKlok lynch. It is highly plausible that Blubbdavid is the real Mafia, and that he wins the game with our mis-lynch on DimmuKlok. If he does, then it's very well played by him. But the overall history of this game to me has been DimmuKlok's behavior towards everyone else. It's going to be either Maverick or I who gets killed this night, and I think it'll be me just cause DimmuKlok likes me less  Any other person getting killed would leave only one plausible suspect left and be a terrible decision. In any case, ggs it was fun but time consuming, but I think I would have enjoyed this a lot more had I been in from the start instead of as a replacement. | ||

I know for myself I'm vanilla but wasn't sure of Mavericks role, now that he is vanilla town, then the only town role besides my vanilla is either a DT or a vigilante left, which Blubb has claimed. However, there is the case that DT wasn't even present in this game since vigilante wasn't present, we also had a miller/medic already as well. The rules state that not all roles are present, so this is really annoying now. So we have 3 options: Option 1: If your theory is correct DimmuKlok, then I would have to be the Mafia this whole time if Blubb is DT and you are vanilla townie. I think my actions to this date have given my alignment to be town, but even if this wasn't enough for you I refer you to this: On March 14 2012 09:28 willz22912 wrote: I'm fairly sure that Maverick would have went along with my vote if I decided to push you DimmuKlok, in fact he even posted so.

We have 48 hours, so I'll try and find some time to look through the filters and really dig down. But for now, I propose myself as bait: I'm going to change my vote at the last hour of the deadline, but there is still a possibility that both of you decide to continue it and lynch me anyway. If you really think I'm Mafia, go ahead, but your decision here will have a great impact on what I decide. ##Vote: Willz22912 | ||

I was hoping one of you would and it would sway my opinion but none of you have. Please comment on this suspicious behavior! | ||

The situation seems to be a 1-1 split between Blubb and DimmuKlok, with me as the swing vote, I was hoping to create a situation where I wouldn't have to be swing vote and was a valid target, but I don't think either of you think I'm Mafia right? Oh well, sorry for the confusion, we still have 27 hours so I'm still making my final decision. This is pretty stressful for a newbie in his first Mafia game ever ;p | ||

You came into this thread very strong with your analysis of our top suspects at the time, OtoshimonoU and Sufficiency. You chose to view OtoshimonoU as the more suspicious person at that time. As stated you bring up DT and PR's the most, showing you are more experienced than most in a newbie game. If you were an experienced town, wouldn't you want to assert your experience and try and drive inexperienced townies towards the right lynches (this inexperience being me and Mav who are both first time Mafia players on TL) You are being way too passive in trying to convince me against DimmuKlok, why should my opinion be as important as yours if you are the more experienced player? Regarding your claim as DT, your DT claims are consistent with your behavior, however I'd like to point out you never made a serious case against gunman in the open. Yes you could have had inside information based on your DT check, but you never elaborated on that, you only stayed on gunman because he made attacks on Rain who flipped green. When I made my counter-case against DimmuKlok at the same time you said you were going to stay on gunman but no elaboration on why except for "his fast push on Rainmaker seems suspicious" Do you have any response for this behavior except for "I did a check on him and that's why I knew he was Mafia?" Because yes, you personally could have known but if you didnt get enough people on the gunman vote then we would have lost this game since it was in ly-lo situation already. You also have just written your views on me and DimmuKlok, and you say that his "Mistrust everyone, calls out" is a pro-town move. It may be pro-town for him personally, but he's never going to be able to gain any credibility when he has been consistently wrong. In that case, this is actually bad for him personally because it makes him such a good target in a situation like this where either of you are the real Mafia, and a 3rd person has to be the one to weigh in and choose. You have ~4.5 hours to explain this behavior, hope you're around. | ||

I forgot to mention the part where you potentially screwed town over by not changing your vote from DimmuKlok to Sufficiency when you specifically asked which person we were going after, and we responded 20 minutes later. Why ask at all if you're going to disregard anything we're going to say? If DimmuKlok didn't switch, and Sufficiency actually came back in time to not get modkilled, that would have been game for town. Pretty inexcusable behavior. Adding on to that, that also throws your DT claim into question. There was really no need to throw in the DT claim at night when you knew you were not likely to be killed, it's verging on misinformation. The two main suspects that me and Maverick were debating between were you and DimmuKlok. If you were killed off during the night, the only suspect left would be the obvious one in DimmuKlok. Conversely DimmuKlok also would not have been killed off because then we would have focused on Blubbdavid, so neither of you dying was the only valid strategy a Mafia would have. | ||

Of the two of you, DimmuKlok has made numerous wrong calls on many people not including Otoshimono, Sufficiency, Maverick, and myself. While it is okay to be suspicious of everyone in the beginning until you can feel out who is really town, this constant claiming of Mafia has only been to his detriment, and hiding behind his godfather ability to return as green is the only good explanation. At least you Blubbdavid have been consistent about who you suspect, and your DT claim is believable, and you have been by far the better town player of the two of you. If you have been Mafia the whole time Blubbdavid, then gg wp. ##Vote: DimmuKlok. | ||

Out of all of you who voted for OtoshimonoU, try and put yourself in his shoes sometime as an innocent townie with everyone against you, Sufficiency by far was the more scummy player but everyone bandwagons too easily (myself included) on the easy lynch to try and feel useful. | ||
