I'll support the occasional policy lynch if there's someone I think should be banned from mafia in general and I don't want to deal with at all. There isn't anyone like that in this game though so for our purposes, I am opposed to policy lynches. Since that seems to be what we're talking about.

I am disappointed in sloosh for the random vote, would rather he at least said something about why. Maybe he'll come back later and clear it up; he would be wise to in my opinion.

Okay, I'm caught up:

sloosh, what are you doing? You vote wiggles with no explanation, people call you out for it, you change your vote to me with no explanation at first, people call you out for it, then your explanation is that I was your first suspicion (even though you randomly voted wiggles first?) because my posting is mechanical? My posting is mechanical and that's why I'm scummy, maybe you could elaborate on that. Even though you seem to have changed your mind again to prplhz before I responded to you. Are you just jumping on the easiest target every time? What's the deal?

Prplhz shouldn't be lynched today. No way in hell. He's gotten too much negative attention from too many people, it seems likely to me mafia is pushing for the easy lynch against an aggressive player. And why wouldn't they? prplhz isn't playing as good or as friendly as he could be. This is the last time I defend him against the rest of the angry mob unless he stops with the "LOL SCUM LOL."

I am going to go with gut for my day one vote. Zephirdd's posting is the scummiest right now in my opinion. He spends a lot of his time telling other, presumably town players, how to play. Something mafia can't seem to resist doing in most of the games I play. He is stating mostly FACTS (people talking like they know something for certain are suspicious because only mafia have FACTS) and very little speculation.

As for everyone who is suspicious of me for lurking, you're right, it's suspicious, my bad. I work during the day (USEAST) and can't post till night usually. Expect my posts then, like I'm doing now. If anyone has any questions for me now is a good time I will be around.

##vote: Zephirdd

These people saying I'm too mechanical... what? You want me to post hilarious one liners and memes like others? Maybe someone could host a mafia pictionary edition where no one can post more than one image and one line of text at a time. We could call it 4chan mafia. Maybe I should use less capitalization and punctuation to help fit in.

I understand being criticized for lurking, but being "too mechanical?" For my posts being well thought out, really? There are actually people bashing me for that?

You switched your lynch candidate 3 times in 4 posts, and one of those posts was an edit. My thoughts were up to date a page ago.

Why marvelbabe thinks Zentorpoopants is scummyscumscum

It's a nice combination of reasons of actions this game and a little bit of meta. First of all Zentor says Sinensis is 'suspicious' and only after being prodded does he reveal it's because he is being 'cautious, lurky scum'. Ok that's fine. Events later in the lynch aren't so favourable. He never deigns to tell us why drwiggl3s is a bad lynch at all, he just tells us Sinensis is more likely to flip scum. No reasoning given either way. His posts towards the end of the day amount to telling town we're stupid for voting how we are, but without actually trying to convince us otherwise. There is also the fact that he tried to claim credit for the Sinensis wagon when actually he didn't lead the wagon at all, slOosh did.

Then comes the episode a little earlier today. He comes in with a vote on Sinensis straight off the bat. But he doesn't tell us why. I quiz him on it, and for some reason he refuses to tell me - I point out that clearly Sinensis is NOT being cautious and lurky, which were his original reasons. All I get back is that his transition out of this phase was 'extremely scummy'. Not a reason at all. He's riding this wagon to make it look like he's doing something. Eventually after extremely heavy pressure from me he caves and makes a "case" but for me it is too late by then.

In Emergency Mafia he never didn't tell people why he was lynching people. There was proper analysis of his lynch candidates (to an extent). I also found it an interesting psychological moment earlier in the game when he said this:



The bit in brackets. Of course it could be completely innocent, but I think it betrays his mindset this game - trying very hard not to be so, and condemning someone else for it. Also note his point of view on prplhz - reckless townie. Arguably what Sinensis has turned into, but we're not treated to the distinction.

Most of all though, I'd like to draw similarities between comments here and in Bang Bang where he was Serial Killer. I first got a scumread on Zentor after a little exchange we had:





And here:



In Bang Bang his read on Toad mysteriously appeared and his natural reaction when quizzed was "other people have said it". Compare to here where he also abdicates responsibility for giving a reason for his reads on the basis that other people have said it.

Zentor is scum.

Oh, and I'd be delighted to destroy any case anybody tries to make against me.

Also note his point of view on prplhz - reckless townie. Arguably what Sinensis has turned into, but we're not treated to the distinction.

1) Early in the game, he was extremely wishy-washy. Like, in calling out Sinensis, he said his play was "weird". And when someone asked him about prplhz he defensively said "I didn't say prplhz play wasn't weird, I said Sin's play WAS weird". It just kinda felt like hedging his bets, but then he went on to clarify that he thought Sin was playing "overly cautious" and prplhz "overly careless"...ultimately, it ended up being a null-tell but I didn't like the way he phrased it.

2) Later on his whole contradiction in trying to get votes back on Sinensis...where he was all "Guys late-switching is a bad idea - let's late-switch!". I understand what he was saying, but as I said at the time I didn't like the way it read...it seemed like someone just trying to shovel shit on the new wagon.

3) Town-hunting - he seems to be quick to defend people and not so quick to accuse them except in the case of Sinensis. He's now down with a marv/VE/Sin "scumteam" but he doesn't really say why he thinks I'm scum or marv is scum...so really it's just tacking names onto the same attack he's been consistently pushing all game.

On the whole, I find I have a really hard time reading Zentor's intentions/actions, but most of this seems to indicate scum.

"I've been far more generous with my explanations this game" - rofl!

all he has done is copy pasted what other people wrote

What about the fact that the people you copied don't believe what they wrote anymore? Doesn't that mean you think I'm scum for literally zero reason?
