Can I do it when I wake up or do I have to do it now?

Answering for you, I'll do it tomorrow.

I figure anything I try to write just before bed will come out better after sleep.
FWIW I wasn't seriously asking for your permission. That shit was me asking me lol.

Just finished a preliminary read through after having breakfast. Man you guys are mean to sleepy people. Lol
Anyway, I will engage in answering questions and giving my thoughts on the past 12 hours while doing my second read through which will begin when I get to a real computer.
One thought I would like to share before I go get booted up is that VE would know my scum game the best considering he's the one who taught me it. If he honestly thinks I'm mafia I'm going to be, well, vexed if that doesn't change by the end of today.

Regarding that post, most of it seems to be spot on from my perspective. You sort of belabor the shit out of the RNG points and spread them into other categories but think about how Zarepath acted D1 in the last newbie game he played with me (us? if you're mocsta) and you'll see that it's possible he was indeed going about trying to generate discussion. He might have even been successful if he was vigilant in driving the conversation or hinting as to the direction he wanted to go with it, but since none of that actually happened it's looking like a really bad point against him.
As for considering WOS a candidate, after the smack talk prior to looking at his newbie game and evaluating WOS' re-entrance to the thread, I could see how his mindset (as either alignment) would allow him to 180. WHY he 180s is a question for him directly at that point in the conversation, though from my perspective I see an enthusiastic WOS looking to take some burden off the concerns of town at a point where we were only looking at ~2 real candidates.
One thing to note about WOS re-entry is him mentioning Aquanim. What was his reason for that?

Besides them and myself nobody should even be considered for the mayoral role. This vet circle jerking has to stop nowBeing a vet does not guarantee your logic is sound; or that your shit smells better than mine and others. Further it does not guarantee you are town.All members of this game have a responsibility to be transparent in play and present well-reasoned thoughts. Perhaps, players with lower experience would not make as capable a mayor as a vet; however: (1) This mayor role is nerfed without BG - so the outcome of vet/new is of less importance & (2) Less experience is not synonymous with being incapable of reasoned thought that is CORRECT. I don't have a problem with your prome case; I already commented on pretty much everything you wrote, a fair bit before you wrote it. But I guess it doesn't make sense, not coming from a confirmed vet.The quicker you get over your game of 'soggy biscuit'; the quicker we are going to get along.
Show nested quote +This is a scum player grasping for someone to point the finger at, someone to blame. This falls perfectly in line with what DrH says here (link) when he quotes from Ver's guide. . Nice blatant buddying here. Im guessing you buy ya kneepads on bulk discount... (Milk vs. Prom) Here my first reaction is screaming in my head "IT'S A BUS IT'S A BUS" but my first reactions are typically wrong. Why insult the majority of the game? Where's the town mindset in that? Why not just say it nicely such as if you more experienced players would be so kind as to note when the lesser-experienced players say something useful and expand upon it that would be much appreciated instead of going on about knee-pads? Just having a WTF moment reading this.

Because Aquanim was the only one who actually acknowledged me; for the record I actually was feeling ignored but I had to go for a bit and wanted to see if anyone would react to me intentionally lurking. As for your talk of me 180ing...what? Not you 180'ing. That was about Prom

I mean that's out there based on how I started the game, and I even think I mentioned I would be okay with voting someone who would lynch him. It's really... weird.

I am giving my reactions to the game Restraining Order. Or are you going to place a restraining order on me?

What that I said about the first four hours of the game regarding my play was wrong? I was having fun and talking to people IN THE MOMENT. As has been discussed to death already, the RNG proposition sent us into hours of FUBAR mode. Literally anything was better than trying to have the RNG conversation. I made one comment regarding it and it was self contained joke/dismissal.

First you have inherent guilt, you think you look bad, so it's plausible that the claim that the guy defending you must have extra information should fly. Secondly you want to divert attention from your lynch, so it's a terrific opportunity to throw suspicion on someone that is on the other side of the issue. People that want to lynch prome certainly won't like the defense one bit, and are more easily willing to jump on the person defending it. As you can see Promethelax post makes very little sense if taken form a townie perspective, but makes a lot of sense given a scum mentality. I'll refrain from expanding my thoughts on macho man from now as to not derail this lynch. Jcarl are you insinuating that JJ was making it look like there was opposition to the lynch so that the prevailing mindset that "lynches that meet opposition are usually good lynches" would cause a follow-through?

Okay, caught up on a second read-through. Going to do a couple filters now for players I don't even remember being in the game. Thanks for the idea DocH.
