Space Station Mafia

Day one observations:

Zentor is not scum with wherebugsgo - WBG goes out of his way to point out in Zentor's post a non-scumslip (Page 8)
possible weak tie as coag remarks on it as well - so maybe coag is not with either, but coag's post is joke-y
marvellosity also makes a weak joke here - does he do that if zentor is scum with him?

Captain nominations - EchelonTee as a joke to lynch Ace
Sandroba intially with "I'll kill whoever I feel like and you guys can thank me later"
GMarshal because he actually hits scum day one
Zentor with the promise of killing whomever the thread votes for
RayzorFlash with a cute speech
Acrofales with the weird janitor reference and pictures. (withdraws later with comment about "PM" game)
Maverick as well with the same platform as zentor
Coagulation really late (page 16)

grush votes in the thread for Gmarshal, saying "only an idiot would reveal that ... " I think he thought that GMarshal
has a special power to hit scum on day one. is this indicative of thinking from a scum perspective? Chaoser later
makes the correct interpretation of GM's post

chaoser votes quickly for sandroba. Has likely been chatting to him as little has happened in the thread during this time

GM then votes for sandro right after, also likely due to chatting, with a ^_^ face; Jackal points out the votes on sandro
so perhaps jackal is not scum with any of sandroba, gmarshall, or chaoser. Or he's playing joke-y. Weak.

Node gives an earnest first post, not much to read either way.

Coag claims not to have been PM'd (Page 11)

Zentor gives a small defense to Node, claiming others are rude. Does scum do that for a scumbuddy? Seems more likely
that he would let it go if the two were scum together.

VayeshMoru is playing the game in theme. Ugh. So hard to read when the player is already pretending.

sinani comes in and seems clueless about the mayor votes. Post seems genuine to me.

Errandorr's first post is literally "Hi" Does scum really do that? Seems unlikely. Oh he's not even in the game lol.

RayzorFlash comes in with his captaincy bid and does it in character. blech.

Maverick makes his weird but not that scummy to me "who I'm not going to vote for" post. Could be scummy if he was nervous
and trying really hard to think of something to contribute. Or could be town for same reason.

Strongandbig makes a post (his first) on page 11 that has the staccato "I'm commenting on everything" feel to it.
Doesn't necessarily reveal alignment but something to remember for later. He has also clearly been reading the thread,
as he references layabout's single post about voting for the best speech. So he's paying attention

Snarfs cruises in and votes for sandroba. Has snarfs made any other posts this game? Must have been chatting with sandro

|10f has a possibly awkward post. Ace meanwhile is pushing for random captaincy. I believe michaelthe also posted that.

Acrofales throws his hat into the ring with his first post. Does he do that as scum? He played a fairly cautious scum game
in DFM2 (Page 12)

risknuke says "I like EchelonTee" suggests killing both Zentor and chaoser. says vote for ET or sandro
Does risknuke outright say "I like ET" if he's scumbuddies with him? Less likely.

Froggnoddy arrives with a composed post. Doesn't say much about him. He says sensible things.

Acrofales actually semi-seriously suggests throwing ace out the airlock. Unlikely he and Ace are scumbuddies.

Kurumi comes with some semi-serious pointed comments to acrofales. Not sure what to make of their exchange.

Kurumi then says "yo acrofales sorry i need to get rid of layabout first" What the fuck does that mean?
His tone in general is difficult to pin down. What does he know about layabout and acro? Why is he posting
as such in public? Doesn't actually make those posts as scum though. Too out there?
Kurumi has a little mini-beef with marvellosity. Seems genuine - either well-faked or the two aren't scumbuddies

Kurumi is doing a lot of pressing questions - calls sandro scum and ace town. Risknuke questions this stuff,
risk and kurumi maybe not together.

Coagulation keeps making joke posts. impossible to read.

Kurumi claims sandro approached him but he did not claim to sandro.

Everyone talks about Ace like he's the tasselfoot of this group. Strongest player guaranteed to get killed.

Strongandbig makes posts that I think are scummy but he's probably town because my gut is always wrong on this shit.

Marvellosity was not contacted by Sandro, asks to be.

GMarshal has overcome his tentativeness about playing with PMs and chat. Also renews his campaign for captain (page 14)

Acro calls out layabout for not posting much, and asks him about froggy. Do these connections mean anything?
Or is he just behaving randomly?

Zentor reiterates his transparency campaign. He's tried three-ish times now for mayor. I don't think he does that as scum

Acro asks marvellosity in a joke to claim to him. Not sure he would do that if they were scumbuddies.

MrZentor is not scumbuddies with GMarshal based on GM's pressure on him and that they're both running.

Acro thinks sandro and GM are town.

Marvellosity quotes maverick's post and says that it doesn't make sense. weak disconnection between them there.

ET asks GM who GM would lynch. weak disconnection

Maverick is trying clumsily to make a good point: that while captain gets to decide, everyone should still voice their opinions

Coag randomly also decides to run for captain saying the same stuff as everyone else. Says he wants the role
"out of scum's hands" Does he think one of the other candidates is scum? - More likely just a throwaway phrase TBH

Seems weird that people are always posting "I'm going out, be back later" Just leave and go live your lives.

Why is zentor promising to have himself be lynched if he messes up as captain? I presume he thinks it would never come to
that but still you should never promise to do something anti-town (ie waste a town kill if you are town)

Gmarshal curious that Ace isn't interested in captain. An interesting observation.

Acrofales PM'd Maverick about why maverick thought sandro was suspicious

Snarfs argues with Ace about the viability of a random pick versus just picking sandro.

are coagulation and jackal brothers or something?

Prp has voted for sandro - I didn't even know he was playing haha. Has he even posted in the main thread?

Grush came and voted for Froggynoddy of all people? Where did that come from? I didn't even notice froggy running.
Grush did that without posting anything in the thread since when he last said he would vote for GMarshal.

Snarfs says he's only been out of thread contact with sandro. I believe it.

WBG seems to be playing the way he played in DFM2. Somewhat aggressive and prickly - he was town then.

Dunno what to make of froggynoddy. Seems like such a plain townie but maybe he's trying to fit in? Bit of a stretch.

Thread is trending towards a gmarshal vs sandroba for captain. Not sure if it makes a difference who wins.

Marvellosity claims to have spoken with both gmarshal and sandroba - remember this and ask about these conversations. Maybe
he can post them if they don't contain anything silly.

Node putting pressure on strongandbig, likely disconnection there.

Jackal and GMarhsal get into a bit of an exchange, possible disconnect.

Vayesh with more in character. Who knows.

Jackal claims leaning town on node, maybe a bit leaning scum on GM. Leans town on coag.

risknuke pm'd errandorr to get him talking, errandorr mentions talking to GM, but dodges risknukes request for chat logs

coag jumps on erandorr's quick thread response "textbook lurking scum response" likely disconnect between coag and erandorr

wbg playing his own game.

rayzorflash votes for gmarshal. he seems to be thinking on superficial level about who would actually be the best captain,
as if that matters in the end. town-like, I suppose.

Node raises an interesting point about GM's stance on sandroba. It would be a sick twist if both GM and sandroba were scum.
Node's questions to GM make me lean disconnect there as well.

1. talismania - town

2. Jackal58 - put some pressure on node earlier, otherwise nothing solid. If I had to pick, I'd lean town on him.

3. sandroba - lean town for reasons I already discussed. Is the type of player who could do what he's doing as scum though, so must be cautious.

4. l10f - hard to say because of only that one (maybe two?) post. He merely weighed in on the captaincy debate, which I don't like. Neutral for now, curious to see what comes next.

5. Sinensis - no info, no clue.

6. Ace - there is a lot of metagame built around ace. As a new player on TL not familiar with his history/rep, I have no idea what to make of it. His play is a bit withdrawn in the thread, but perhaps he is playing more in the PM world (as kurumi's logs indicate).

7. RayzorFlash - I read him as town playing at a superficial level, or at least posting at one. He asked if I wanted to be captain out of the blue, which I think would be a strange thing to even think about or propose as scum.

8. sinani206 - no info no clue

9. senjai - sinensis, sinani, and senjai: are they playing the ultralurk scum strategy??? Kind of doubt it. Possible one is scum, but I think it's generally true that most scum try to at least look active.

10. chaoser - I remember his posts in the beginning and then nothing since - acrofales pointed this out as well. No clue.

11. grush57 - playing almost pm only, and being a bit cagey about it. Dunno what to say about it. Most scum wouldn't want to appear deliberately cagey, but I guess a few like to try to go to the next level of Sicilian logic.

12. risk.nuke - From what I understand has been doing quite a bit of chatting. Other than that I don't know.

13. EchelonTee - I am a bit suspicious of his FoS on Rayzorflash, mainly because I couldn't really see Rayzor as scum. I don't think it necessarily indicts ET, but I'm curious about his reasoning, and have asked him to follow up further.

14. Maverick32x - sandro is suspicious of him, as a posted log now indicates. I don't entirely buy it, but I can see it. Interested to see what he does next.

15. froggynoddy - kind of read him in the same boat as rayzorflash, but less sure.

16. prplhz - lurking threadwise, did vote. No info no clue.

17. michaelthe - I really didn't like the post he made where he responded to three general issues in the thread. Reactive posting makes me think scum, because seeming protown is easier in a reactive setting than in a proactive setting. The problem is townies post reactively too.

18. coagulation - playing loose and relaxed. lean town because of how loose he's been.

19. Snarfs - playing cautiously, not sure why. Early to support sandroba. neutral.

20. wherebugsgo - he seems like he did in the only game I've read on tl (DFM2), so lean town. I don't see the move he made where he changed his vote to himself all of a sudden to make much sense as scum.

21. layabout - layabout I can see either way. I did not like the post that kurumi also did not like, because it only dealt with what was being talked about and didn't offer much new. But he has done other things to probe for information, like his questioning of froggynoddy.

22. erandorr - uh really no clue. His first post was "hi" and his second was him instadefending himself. I'm curious why he dodged risknuke's request for chat logs.

23. MrZentor - lean town because I don't see the way he went about applying and unapplying for captaincy as a scum move, or a sequence of actions that a scumteam would support.

24. Node - no clue on node. I can't really remember what he's done off the top of my head, except for pressure a player a little bit.

25. Kurumi - I take it kurumi plays a very unique style. gut says town, brain says "wtf?"

26. GMarshal - I have no idea. He seems to really enjoy making little feints in one on one interactions. I have a feeling he would play this way regardless of alignment.

27. marvellosity - has not stuck out to me. neutral.

28. strongandbig - I dislike the kind of reactive posts he makes, as reactive posts always seem scummy to me. I thought it was interesting that he noted that Vayesh played this way in his last game that was a long time ago. Did anyone else go looking up Vayesh's history? I sure am not playing that hard haha.

29. Acrofales - lean town, he's playing looser and less composed for now than he did as scum in DFM2, and as an observer of DFM2, I leaned scum on him there from the beginning.

30. VayeshMoru - lean town I guess but he would make an awesome puppet for someone in a scumteam because in character players are impossible to read.

day one notes part three / night one notes part one

starting page 21

layabout comes in. He makes the post that gets him into trouble later with kurumi. I kind of agree with kurumi on this post
note that layabout PM'd with sandro, and announces it.

coagulation puts a little pressure on grush - disconnection or faked? I lean disconnect.

michaelthe then makes the post that I later refer to as really disliking. He only comments on popular topics.
It starts with an apology, ends with a "gonna read the thread" and has filler in the middle.
Layabout responds to it I think with the idea that sandro would not be running for mayor as scum,
since scum would view the mayor as a major lynch target. So therefore voting for sandro = voting for townie
with information. Not entirely sure if that's where he was going.

Vayesh puts some in character suspicion on me

jackal posts, doesnt contribute much and doesnt appear to be trying to - just makes a joke about kurumi in response to strong's post

strongandbig makes a post commenting on vayesh. disconnect? I dunno. He calls him suspicious in a very cautious way.
also calls kurumi non-town. I feel like strongandbig might be town playing at a sicilian logic level one: if it's
weird, it's suspicious. Or else he's scum playing at level one scum. throws out three names: vayesh, kurumi, zentor

ace's big post is interesting. I really can't read ace because he's doing what I think he should be doing regardless of his
alignment.

wbg undoes his vote on himself and votes for ace. Note connection to the story that wbg posted earlier.

vayesh follows suit after ace's post.

ET puts his FoS on rayzorflash - blahblah I touched on this in my list. Either way, likely disconnect there.

Interesting thought: if mafia is clever, they should realize that this setup allows them to freely accuse each other
day one since only one guy gets to decide the lynch. Who knows if they thought of that though.

wbg posts a big story, and ace follows with a youtube video. No clue what is going on with that.

Sinensis meekly makes a post, again in the random camp.

Sinani follows with one of those dumb summary posts. I actually can see this one as scummy.

ET calls out 10f and sinani - I think disconnect.

then page 22 is essentially the kurumi - layabout tiff. Likely disconnect there I imagine. Sandroba asks kurumi to stop his nonsense

acrofales comes out against chaoser - possible disconnect.

kurumi post some logs:
acrofales logs contains some nugget about black and yellow shit. dunno what it means.
the ace log has something redacted, but of course nothing to make of it.

acrofales I have to lean town on based on page 23 posting. as i said in list later I thought he composed posts more in dfm2

I think maverick may genuinely be in the same boat as froggy. He has eagerness/earnestness.

layabout ends up voting sandroba page 24: crazy theory - if GM and layabout are scumbuddies, then layabout might not want to pile on
GM at this stage. It was clear then that GM was winning, so why not throw a vote on the other guy. Or layabout
is just in the circle that sandroba is making or something.

It is kind of interesting that marvellosity chose to answer the question that froggy posed to mrz. would be sloppy
play out of scum but not out of the question.

kind of interesting that sandroba disappeared from the thread after being so active early on.

Snarf's post on bottom of page 24 has much clarity. Either town or a good scum.

GM puts out three suspicions: node, |10f, and froggy. Of course he lynches froggy later.

then the triple accusation on mrZ. Really dunno what to make of all that. I kind of lean coincidence.
disconnects: chaoser - mrz, grush - mrz, strongandbig - mrz

still think rayzorflash is town (page 26)

acrofales on page 27 reveals he's been talking to wbg, and that "craptons of stuff is going on behind the scenes"

michaelthe complains his only pm is from me. Probably true actually. he should pm other people if he wants to pm.

ET and snarfs format their posts the same. means nothing. disagrees with the MrZ lynch.

sinani makes a string of posts that are fairly townish but not out of the question for scum.

and after the lynch ace comes down tough on GM. still have a gut feeling that one of the two is scum.

I would be great for transparency but my confidence to come somewhere near hitting a scum for the lynch is 0. I've been following the thread closely but just today started sending lots of Pms. I'm missing a lot of info I think about who NOT to lynch. Especially since so many people are supposed to have role claimed to sandroba.

Original Message From Snarfs:
You should run for Captain.

I really like your transparency and you're definitely showing that you're paying a lot of attention to the game. I would vote for you over the other 3 candidates right now.

Original Message From Ace:
haha he called me black as in my race.

No idea what the "black and yellow" stuff means, but I haven't caught up to reading yet. Same for the wbg thing as I have yet to read it.

Original Message From talismania:
By the way, do you have any idea why Vayesh called you "black"? I understand that's a label here for a third party. In one of kurumi's logs with acrofales that he posted, he also mentions "black and yellow shit" in reference to how sandroba was acquiring claims, so I'm wondering if it might be some sort of game specific thing as well or if it's just a coincidence.

And do you know why wbg posted that huge story about layabout sniffing his crotch and then you and him fighting together? That seemed like a lot of effort to just make a joke, but way too obvious if it was breadcrumbing or something.

Original Message From Ace:
thats how he is, but he's been here long enough to know that he should be trying hard to make sense. He just likes to play that way though.

Original Message From talismania:
I'm new here and you're not - what do you make of kurumi? I find the strangeness in his behavior difficult to read, but I get the impression that might just be how he is.

That is what I assumed at least.

Hide nested quote -
Original Message From talismania:
I thought that was weird as well but apparently Ace actually IS black in real life... I thought vayesh was trying to tell us that Ace was third party or something weird.

My overall opinion of vayesh is this:

1. he's clearly playing mainly for fun

2. If town, then he's acting very much on his own. He has not responded to my pm's and I haven't heard of anyone else talking to him. So he's taking a casual attitude.

3. If he's scum then he would make an amazing pawn. He is always in character and therefore impossible to read. A scum leader would have a great time using him to distract or whatever.

All he's done action-wise is vote ace and then say he was mildly suspicious of me. Doesn't really say much. Right now I would pick town for him if I had to.

Original Message From Sinensis:
What is your opinion on Vayesh?

I think he is a little strange with his weird flavor posts and strange fixation with Ace being black (and that being a "good thing?")

Original Message From talismania:
Yeah a few:
ace ET prp mrz snarfs grush strongandbig maybe a couple others.

most aren't much - I'll be posting most of my logs in the thread soon. I've pm'ed a few others that haven't responded (vayesh, erandorr).

I was just asking you because a few people are not playing much in the thread and some have claimed to be playing in pm land. Thought maybe you were in that category.

You mentioned in the thread that you chatted for "quite a bit" with GM before deciding to vote for him for captain. Risk.nuke then challenged that, claiming that GM told him that he had only talked to you "briefly".

Would you mind clarifying this subject by posting as much as you can of the logs between you and GM?

Also, I'm curious as to why you only talked to GM, and not sandroba, as he was another leading candidate for captain at the time.

[4/13/2012 10:01:17 AM] John Morris: connection play can work
[4/13/2012 10:01:26 AM] John Morris: I'm not fond of it, but its a legit way to play
[4/13/2012 10:01:32 AM] Jason Pipkin: I'm also getting used to the no avatar thing on tl
[4/13/2012 10:01:44 AM] John Morris: haha, takes a while, I know
[4/13/2012 10:01:45 AM] Jason Pipkin: it's hard to keep track of who is who because I forget to read people's names haha
[4/13/2012 10:01:56 AM] Jason Pipkin: I followed death factory mafia 2 pretty closely
[4/13/2012 10:02:12 AM] Jason Pipkin: and I didn't have everyone down until like day 2 or something
[4/13/2012 10:03:14 AM] John Morris: you get used to it surprisingly fast
[4/13/2012 10:03:20 AM] John Morris: + that way you have to remember names!
[4/13/2012 10:03:28 AM] Jason Pipkin: true true
[4/13/2012 10:03:37 AM] Jason Pipkin: have you chatted with anyone else this game?
[4/13/2012 10:04:04 AM] John Morris: a bunch of people
[4/13/2012 10:04:13 AM] John Morris: sandro, chaoser, risknuke
[4/13/2012 10:04:24 AM] John Morris: I have a bunch of others I plan to chat with time permitting
[4/13/2012 10:04:32 AM] Jason Pipkin: they all posted their skype info right?
[4/13/2012 10:04:38 AM] Jason Pipkin: I haven't gone back through the thread
[4/13/2012 10:04:46 AM] Jason Pipkin: although risknuke added me right after I posted
[4/13/2012 10:07:50 AM] John Morris: stupid skype crash -__-
[4/13/2012 10:08:09 AM] John Morris: and no, they haven't all posted their skype info, I just happened to have a lot of them already
[4/13/2012 10:08:19 AM] Jason Pipkin: gotcha
[4/13/2012 10:08:20 AM] John Morris: play enough and you end up with everyones contact info
[4/13/2012 10:08:55 AM] Jason Pipkin: will you be posting your conversations, provided they don't contain town-damaging info?
[4/13/2012 10:09:07 AM] John Morris: probably not
[4/13/2012 10:09:14 AM] John Morris: I'm doing a lot of fancy footwork
[4/13/2012 10:09:21 AM] Jason Pipkin: mmm ok
[4/13/2012 10:09:22 AM] John Morris: and I'm not going to spoil that by posting it
[4/13/2012 10:09:34 AM] Jason Pipkin: fwiw consider any convo with me fair game to be posted
[4/13/2012 10:09:36 AM] John Morris: Have you read Ver's guide?
[4/13/2012 10:09:47 AM] Jason Pipkin: parts I suppose
[4/13/2012 10:09:49 AM] John Morris: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=147475
[4/13/2012 10:09:52 AM] Jason Pipkin: not all the way through
[4/13/2012 10:09:55 AM] John Morris: keep the town on a need to know basis
[4/13/2012 10:09:58 AM] John Morris: read it
[4/13/2012 10:09:59 AM] John Morris: twice
[4/13/2012 10:10:12 AM] John Morris: trust me, you'll become much better instantly
[4/13/2012 10:10:15 AM] John Morris: its worth the slog
[4/13/2012 10:10:24 AM] Jason Pipkin: I've played 20+ games you know
[4/13/2012 10:10:26 AM] Jason Pipkin: just not on tl
[4/13/2012 10:10:28 AM] John Morris: so have I
[4/13/2012 10:10:34 AM] John Morris: I re read the guide often anyway
[4/13/2012 10:10:39 AM] Jason Pipkin: of course I played with the same people over and over
[4/13/2012 10:10:40 AM] John Morris: because fundamentals help
[4/13/2012 10:10:42 AM] Jason Pipkin: so it got easier
[4/13/2012 10:10:48 AM] John Morris: especially when you don't have meta
[4/13/2012 10:11:54 AM] Jason Pipkin: so what does fancy footwork mean?
[4/13/2012 10:12:17 AM] Jason Pipkin: just reading through the thread I can't imagine people already having enough info to do fancy footwork
[4/13/2012 10:12:25 AM] John Morris: I can't let you tip off your scumbuddies! Lets just say what I say to one person in PMs doesn't necessarily line up with what I may tell others
[4/13/2012 10:12:38 AM] John Morris: its interesting to see how info falls through the cracks
[4/13/2012 10:12:57 AM] John Morris: and who knows things they maybe shouldn't
[4/13/2012 10:13:17 AM] Jason Pipkin: so you have reads already?
[4/13/2012 10:13:35 AM] Jason Pipkin: in the thread you mentioned a troll and maybe the candidates list
[4/13/2012 10:13:48 AM] John Morris: sure, I always have reads. Are the accuarate? Maybe, maybe not.
[4/13/2012 10:13:57 AM] John Morris: That was a very deliberate post by me
[4/13/2012 10:14:06 AM] John Morris: lets see how you think, why did I say what I said?
[4/13/2012 10:14:33 AM] Jason Pipkin: well it sounded like you didn't want to say for the most part
[4/13/2012 10:15:02 AM] Jason Pipkin: also it sounded like you were being truthful
[4/13/2012 10:15:14 AM] Jason Pipkin: I think the captain's candidate list would be a fruitful place to closely look
[4/13/2012 10:15:23 AM] Jason Pipkin: although far from guaranteed
[4/13/2012 10:15:28 AM] John Morris: I'm seeing who goes after the soft lynch in the troll
[4/13/2012 10:15:46 AM] John Morris: its a stupid lynch except for policy reasons/if nothing better can be found
[4/13/2012 10:15:54 AM] John Morris: best left for vigilantes
[4/13/2012 10:15:59 AM] John Morris: as lynching him says nothing about others
[4/13/2012 10:16:05 AM] Jason Pipkin: yeah I've seen that idea posted a couple of times
[4/13/2012 10:16:18 AM] John Morris: now, who is going to push that because I said I wanted him lynched?
[4/13/2012 10:16:19 AM] Jason Pipkin: "vig the lurkers" etc
[4/13/2012 10:16:36 AM] John Morris: who is going to vote for me for captian based on the fact that I'm not threatening any of them directly
[4/13/2012 10:16:37 AM] John Morris: ?
[4/13/2012 10:16:44 AM] Jason Pipkin: are you running for captain?
[4/13/2012 10:16:49 AM] Jason Pipkin: I thought you voted for sandroba
[4/13/2012 10:16:50 AM] John Morris: Always
[4/13/2012 10:16:55 AM] John Morris: its my policy to always run for mayor
[4/13/2012 10:17:00 AM] John Morris: sure I voted for sandroba
[4/13/2012 10:17:03 AM] Jason Pipkin: but vote for someone else?
[4/13/2012 10:17:08 AM] John Morris: its not gentelmanly to vote for yourself
[4/13/2012 10:17:10 AM] Jason Pipkin: you can't vote for yourself?
[4/13/2012 10:17:11 AM] Jason Pipkin: heh
[4/13/2012 10:17:17 AM] John Morris: (and not allowed in most games anyway)
[4/13/2012 10:17:24 AM] Jason Pipkin: allowed in real life
[4/13/2012 10:17:38 AM] John Morris: irrelevant, I am a gentelman!
[4/13/2012 10:17:51 AM] Jason Pipkin: well maybe someone takes that bait maybe not
[4/13/2012 10:18:03 AM] John Morris: ah, but now I told you
[4/13/2012 10:18:04 AM] Jason Pipkin: I'll hold off on posting this until the end of the day anyway
[4/13/2012 10:18:09 AM] John Morris: so the bait is less relevant
[4/13/2012 10:18:26 AM] John Morris: now I'm interested in who told me they were temped by it in pms
[4/13/2012 10:18:28 AM] John Morris: and now aren't
[4/13/2012 10:18:35 AM] Jason Pipkin: so you play as though scum are acting individually?
[4/13/2012 10:18:48 AM] Jason Pipkin: whenever I've played scum it's always been very team
[4/13/2012 10:18:54 AM] Jason Pipkin: with some exceptions when people do stupid shit
[4/13/2012 10:18:54 AM] John Morris: thats what I;m saying
[4/13/2012 10:19:02 AM] John Morris: now I've leaked the fact that its bait
[4/13/2012 10:19:03 AM] John Morris: to you
[4/13/2012 10:19:09 AM] John Morris: so if you are scum, they now now
[4/13/2012 10:19:11 AM] John Morris: *know
[4/13/2012 10:19:21 AM] Jason Pipkin: I guess
[4/13/2012 10:19:22 AM] John Morris: so I'll see if anyone;s attitude takes a swift turn
[4/13/2012 10:19:24 AM] John Morris: or maybe not
[4/13/2012 10:19:47 AM] Jason Pipkin: if you're telling me that then you seem to be talking yourself in circles haha
[4/13/2012 10:19:50 AM] John Morris: anyway, most things I do have a motive, even if its not clearly visible
[4/13/2012 10:22:56 AM] John Morris: and scum can be very disembodied in how they act
[4/13/2012 10:23:03 AM] John Morris: its not necessarily all team play
[4/13/2012 10:23:28 AM] Jason Pipkin: yeah I've seen a scum bus another one with a fake convo where he made it seem like the one guy accidentally slipped to him
[4/13/2012 10:23:47 AM] Jason Pipkin: but the guy getting bused had no clue, and then got mad and posted everything in the thread
[4/13/2012 10:27:20 AM] John Morris: lol
