It is presently Day 1. Your post count is 39 and you have used more words than a Hemingway short story. In Pokemon, which has just concluded, and in which you were recruited early to the bad guy team, you had 39 living posts. That game lasted 5 Day phases.
Therefore I find the enlarged statement incompatible with the above. But what could that mean?
I think that, in a game with a single evil team, one who is on that team must be especially cautious in how one carries oneself. But in a game with two or more evil factions, there is a greater urge to hunt for evildoers, because there is a chance that one might ferret out someone on the other team, which is a threat to the team one is on.
In WWE, you were on a bad team and there was another bad team. You rivaled James Joyce in both prolixity and clarity. But in Pokemon, with one evil team, you averaged fewer than 8 posts every 72 hours.
So my conclusion is that your Mafia style does not mirror your civilian style, as you claim. Your Mafia style when there is one team is decidedly different from your Mafia style when there is more than one team.
Now I must decide what bearing, if any, that has on my vote today.
Maybe you're right; maybe my baddie game has tells and nuances that I don't notice. At least in my baddie game that's what I try to do and I think I do a pretty good job (but not a good job at avoiding death).
And actually you make a very good point about one mafia team v. two. Pokemon also only had 15 players and hardly anyone talking early on; this game has 30 and others besides myself have said quite a bit more already than what was said in the first few day periods of that game. But you're right in that changes the whole dynamic of the game, especially for the lone baddie team. At least with two baddie teams you can catch other baddies. As someone who has been in both situations, I can say it makes me feel more comfortable and less paranoid. I prefer games with two baddie teams.
What you fail to consider are other factors that would change the frequency with which I post: This game is on this site (I feel more comfortable here than anywhere else, and thus, will post more than on games on other sites, in general), and that the frequency with which I post is also contingent on my workload/schedule (it is currently a Saturday, so I have much more time to post), and the biggest flaw is that you fail to see that I post like a maniac regardless of alignment. The first game that comes to mind is Homestar Runner where I was a civvie and I posted more by the time Day 1 was over than I have so far in this game, I would imagine, since I posted A TON in that game. I do in every game I can.
If you think my post count makes me suspicious, by all means, but I think you're trying to build the groundwork for votes against me today and I can't help but feel it makes you seem a bit shady. I'm trying to avoid that feeling of persecution though and realize that you're just speaking what you feel, but I do wonder about aggressive civvie-minded Epignosis v. manipulating baddie Epignosis all the time, so you'll have to excuse me on that front. Since we're both aggressive and often more talkative players, and you have quite an amazing legacy of insane baddie wins, I find myself questioning your intentions perhaps more than others, so take my feelings with that considered.
Though actually, between preparing to move to San Antonio and my job and doing other things, we'll see. I'm not sure how talkative I will be. But during the free time I do have, you can bet you'll be hearing from me.
OK, that's a lie. But good luck with all that!!! Moving and whatnot.
And Yes! Eyelashes and a waving one. Wow, I'm feeling emphatic apparently, so many exclamation marks.

Feel free to copy and paste that post to the top of one of your pages, but for me it's at the top of page 8 , which means I can bookmark it on my phone and not have to scroll a bunch :P
