"Oh wait wtf" is over the top. It's a phony reaction to the fact that this clearly dragged on and did not fill to 16.

It's saying something without saying something. Lynch.

We're supposed to elect someone to die.

We already elected someone who hopefully knows what he's doing.

My point in that post was to indicate why I think sig is a civilian (rather than him being good at chess).

Stop trying to buddy me like your partner blatantly did.

Number one, I wasn't going to be around (even 1.5 hours I was busy with dinner). I didn't "dip." I have basketball stuff to do.

Number two, there was no numerically viable way I was going to be able to save Colin even if I wanted to. At the time, there were two votes on Colin and only one or zero votes on anyone else. I was never going to get it done on my own. I needed sig.

It might be helpful to have a faster progress and informationflow with claims. Democratically I'd say we vote and discuss for who shall claim.

Mafia probably will consist of a roleblocker/cop and some godfather equivalent I think. Maybe more spicy stuff like copy abilities.
