I recall my very first game where I was also a baddie.

although TO BE FAIR, I voted Sorsha like three days in a row

First, what else could Fuzz have possibly been talking about?

Now then, I will admit I haven't PMd Floyd and I don't know what's going on in his life.

if this actually had to do with his mental shit, my apologies.

Mac and me (hey isn't that a movie???)

Also, previously before this, makes a post to MacD saying "I'm going to guess you're from Australia like me". Niiice distancing, acting like you don't know where your baddie teammate is from. Also, how in the heck do you guess he's from Australia, simply because he makes a joke about Americans killing people?

I can understand having a gut feeling about people who've made posts, even just a few but when they are 2 low content posts you're joking if you can tell me you have any reason to actually consider them a town read.

What's your angle?

Seriously. I haven't a feeling of the opposite, but that's the point: Floyd hasn't said much. And this is his first game of Mafia, so there's no meta to go off of.

Anybody who has (earnestly) said that Floyd is a town read should probably 'splain.

Wants people to explain their town read on Floyd.

Strawhenge wrote:And I want to hear more from Floyd too. This is already a dense-as-fuck game, and I don't envy his position as New Guy in these environs.

Thinks Floyd should speak up more.

I didn't like Seaside saying it early in the game, but my reasoning at this point is that TheFloyd is a brand new player, and had participated barely enough to at least do something. If he was scum, I think he would have stuck it out a bit longer or at least been pressured by his scummates to replace out or something. Dropping off the map as an overwhelmed new player seems like a new-town thing to me.

Not necessarily. Especially in a game with this many players. We're looking at a 7-person scumteam. Someone could easily drop off the map and let their team handle things.

Thinks it's entirely possible Floyd is purposely dropping off the map cuz he's scum.

Strawhenge wrote:In fact, I don't know about you, but if I were new to this whole thing and got a scum card, dropping off the map would be my instinct.

And again.

Also, re: the Floyd 'Certainty': Seaside puts his claim that Floyd is a 'strong town lead' at #3 on his list of things. I'm baffled.

Still putting pressure on seaside for calling Floyd a town read. Still has YET to address Floyd directly or even find him suspicious.

i'm thinking jjj is scum now. floyd is def town i reakon. i'm pretty solid on that.
diiny is just scummy you know, i played with him once and he won the game as scum. i was SURE he was town, can you trust that?
putting the pressure on instead of letting him just cruise through in town mode, is a good good option.
wilgy i thought would be scum cause you all thought the same, i could see by the votes.

i guessed two because i doubt 7 would jump on and i don't think too many scum would of jumped on, they just had to get it started and get the numbers. which were quite low. so the first person i reakon was scum and i think diiny jumped on to confirm it.

Seaside's repeated unexplained endorsements of Floyd's towniness reeks more and more of a special ability every time I read it, but then...when would he have been able to use it? He's been touting Floyd's innocence since forever. What does he know? SEASIDE WHAT DO YOU KNOW? YOU'RE TEARING ME APARRRRT

Wants to know more about Floyd, but still finds Seaside pingy for calling him town.

TheFloyd73 wrote:*dances to the remix of Let It Happen*

Hey Floyd! Hey guys, it's Floyd! Floyd's here!

Hey Floyd, people have some questions for you.

1. What's up with your vote for Ace of Spades?

2. Why does Seaside have the utmost confidence that you're town?

3. How do you stay so fresh?

Did Floyd ever answer these questions, Straw? If so, were you happy with his answers?

Strawhenge wrote:Voting Seaside until I can get something more believable re: Floyd than, 'Take it however you want to take it.' ._.

Like, obviously don't infodump, but right now it reads like you slipped up in voicing outright confidence in Floyd--who, at the time, had said almost nothing in this game--and have since adhered to it with an air of mystery to make it seem like you have a power role or something.

Also really not liking llama and Epi's responses to me. sirengiffy at best.

Still wants to know more about Floyd.

And on-topic, am I a huge asshole if I continue to vote for Seaside? Like, am I wrong to still suspect him even when he's talking about real-life obstacles etc.?

Am I literally the worst human?

thellama73 is my second choice. Should I go with that to avoid some sort of karmic backdraft?

This post is very important because of how he addresses me later.

Strawhenge wrote:

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Hey Architecturally Problematic Version of Ancient Landmark, I think you ought to check out Sorsha's more substantive defenses of herself (sorry if you already did and I overlooked that). Tell me what you think about this sucker.

It stems directly from your original case on her and my questions about her responses to it.

I think they're very cogent responses, for sure. However some of the reasons she gives are based on some pretty loose conjecture. Her supposing of Floyd's innocence is based on the fact that if he were scum, he'd be replaced by now. We don't know that. (I in fact kinda think the opposite; Floyd could be chatting up a storm in scum BTSC and masterminding the whole operation, for all we know.) The other point about Mac/Seaside seems like a double-down on noncommittal. 'I was noncommittal about Seaside because I'm noncommittal about both of them because I've never played with them before.' To me that says absolutely nothing.

The tough part about Sorsha is the same tough part I had about my suss of Seaside: real-life time commitment. If she doesn't have time to play, then she doesn't have time to play, and on principle I can't fault her for that.

Additionally, Sorsha expresses that she doesn't feel like any of her defenses would be heeded anyway, and that people will just 'slap votes on.' Not that I find this suspicious in anyway, but I completely disagree. Among myself and a couple people voting for her currently, we would absolutely read defenses.

(doesn't mean we'll believe them, of course, but)

Per the underline, Straw thinks Floyd is more likely scum then not because of his silence in thread.

For Heavens sake, check for yourself.

This is all Straw says about Floyd's very off the wall comment about being "rivals". Earlier he believes Floyd is more likely scum then not, but after Floyd makes a "slip" like this, says pretty much nothing about it.

Strawhenge wrote:

Matt F wrote:Devin Heaven also wanted Diiny gone. For "reasons".

I think Floyd needs to be looked at pronto. This deal with him "being gone" for several days after being suspected and saying some very odd things...I don't like it.

I think Floyd's being gone doesn't deserve those heavy quotes, mate. I think he's legitimately been dealing with things IRL. And also this is his first game. This game was so big and complex that even I have had very little energy to put toward it. Floyd's level of activity should not be used against or for him.

This is interesting as shit to me. As you've seen, Strawhenge has used Floyd's level of activity to accuse him of being more scum then not. ALSO, if you all remember the post earlier, where Straw says "Am I wrong to vote for someone with real life issues?" and it seems like he's having fun with it. Yet I dare question Floyd on his absence, and "he doesn't deserve those quotes, Mate, cuz of real life stuff". Explain, Straw.

brb soup

Since you told me Floyd's level of activity shouldn't be used against him, and since the only reason you found him "more scum then not" before is because of his level of activity, please let me know how you came to thinking Floyd was scum. Also, it couldn't possibly be because of the "rivals" comment since before, you literally thought nothing of it but to give him a smiley face.

I disagree with half of your iso on her, but the other half is dang convincing. Especially wert Roxy.

Please tell me about your points of disagreement.

Sure.

1. BR being snarky. Someone being snarky on the internet? Gasp! I'm sorry for that. But you see my point?

2. BR's stance on Floyd. I don't really see her comments about Floyd being either for or against him. Just seems like she had a different interpretation of Floyd's behavior. In fact, I tend to agree with her that it's possible. Hypothesis: If Floyd is scum, that means he has BTSC with scum. Floyd's communication with them might have given them the impression that he'd be better of silent; maybe he showed a lack of understanding of how the game worked and they were like, Whoa whoa whoa, maybe keep it low-pro, bro.

I guess I'm just saying BR's interpretation is as plausible as Matt's.

3. BR's stance on Epi wert LC. I don't think this outright paints BR as suspicious to think that Epi, who is normally suspicious of LC, was suddenly at LC's defense. Wouldn't it be weird back in RYMville if aether and sleepy had each other's backs?

That's pretty much it. I don't think they exonerate BR whatsoever, but those are the posts where I go all, Huh. I guess I just don't see it.

As I said, the Roxy stuff is pretty convincing. Focusing on the SK as a scum makes sense.

...Which, uh.... Anyone remember when Mac called for an entire day to focus on SK-hunting?

Per the underline, if I'm correct, BR was defending Floyd when we were talking about him.

Strawhenge - I want to know. What is your opinion on Floyd? Good or bad? Why good or bad?

Why would you "lecture" (strong word, can't think of another) me on questioning Floyd based on his level of play when you've been doing the same, and then also tell me it's not cool to suspect him because of real life issues, when earlier in the game, you were being playful about the fact that you were suspecting seaside even though he had real life issues.

*whew*

Anyway, there's probably nothing to any of this, but I was especially pinged by Straw's "lecture" of me when he's been doin' the same thing.

Explain, Straw?

You said this on Day Four. Day 1 - 3 you voted in lynches. I wasn't in the RYM thread, but I assume you voted in the Day 0 poll.
