Ok, so:

Jack

Not Sawyer

... damn, that didn't help.

Voting Scotty for now, as we're kinda close to the deadline and idk if I'll be able to post again.

He's not more suspicious to me than the other players (Mac, NSawyer) that have been asked questions they haven't answered but he's certainly more suspicious than me (from my perspective, at least) and more suspicious than Quin.

If you want to get really technical, even this guy is not Sawyer because it was just a pseudonym for a job:

Scotty has less than two hours to tell me more about his magic coin.

Fewer. -1 Hillary Points.

And you are wrong.

Less is also used with numbers when they are on their own and with expressions of measurement or time, e.g.:

His weight fell from 18 stone to less than 12.

Their marriage lasted less than two years.

Heath Square is less than four miles away from Dublin city centre.

Very well. 0.5 Hillary Points restored.

Posted: **Mon Feb 27, 2017 3:49 pm**

I still have fewer points.

There's a processing fee on restored Hillary Points.

I'm reading through. I have to say I'm leaning on agreeing with Epi on Scotty. Some of his posts feel to me like how I would play when mafia, by trying to look helpful in his attempt to analyse the host's post, and by looking like he's doing some serious hunting, while it doesn't feel genuine to me.
I have two reservations:
1. the part where he randomly chooses a low poster. That's poor hunting, and I think Scotty is smarter than that. 2. I also understand where he's coming from, with his suspicion of the marmot. He tends to lay low and be more fluffy when he's bad.
So

I really don't like MacDougal's vote, and the fact he's just following Scotty's vote just makes it worse. Though I doubt both are bad...

If llama or svs is bad, I don't think the other would be so obviously in agreement with the other about the alignment of another.
Llama bussed Mac, his baddie teammate, on day 1 of the still-ongoing Game of Champions.

okay. I'm not sure how much that could be discussed since the game is still going. Was Mac portraying any kind of odd behavior that would give llama the reason to do so?

Gtth, if you will.

Posted: **Mon Feb 27, 2017 4:13 pm**

My vote will most likely go to Scotty today. There are other people I think could possibly be bad (that I've mentioned) but what Epi caught carries more weight atm. I am going to put my vote there now in case I get caught up doing other things and forget to come back. But I will try to do so b/c I would love to hear Scotty's explanation.

Posted: **Mon Feb 27, 2017 4:13 pm**

I won't be able to catch up on the thread until tonight, so I randomized Sawyer. I hate randomizing, but I haven't read since page 3 and literally have no suspicions yet.

Posted: **Mon Feb 27, 2017 4:17 pm**

Assuming Scotty is bad, who is on his team?

If he lied about flipping a coin (and I can't imagine a scenario in which he was being genuine), that can only mean he specifically voted for JackofHearts and did so intentionally. One must judge the purpose behind singling out JoH in this manner.

I'd say Scotty.

Epi, couldn't flipping a coin just be a figure of speech?

Posted: **Mon Feb 27, 2017 4:29 pm**

Oh, I only have a half hour to finalize my vote don't I? I'm moving it to NotSawyer. I thought his waffle-ironing on Quin was the most suspicious thing I've seen so far.

Posted: **Mon Feb 27, 2017 4:29 pm**

Scotty, if you're around, now is the time to speak.

I have to say Wilgy is starting to worry me too. While his first "Epi is bad" comment didn't bother me at all, his joking around and zero meaningful contribution, does bother me.

I would much rather have heard from Scotty on the matter first.

I think the presence of the qualifier "actually" precludes his use of the phrase as a figure of speech.

It says the poll ends in two hours. Is my time wrong?

If Scotty is bad, isn't this the time his team is supposed to tell him to get in here?

Or they're throwing him to the wolves.

If I'm not mistaken, Scotty's schedule only enables him to come in and post at certain times.

The poll ends in 47 minutes.

Which is it?

I'm not sure how you got that. I asked him for something substantial as opposed to just not liking the "cut of (your) jib." Do people on this site intentionally misinterpret what I say no matter how clear and direct I am?

That's because there are no Post links yet, just the word Post, waiting for a link to be added. It's on my list of things to do.

So

You can expect me to lay low somewhat in this game, I'm a bit busier these days.

Who are looking at voting today and why?
I know this post was accidentally aimed at me but I'll answer anyway.

We were in Unfortunate Events together but you got lynched on Day 1.

If I had a day kill that I had to use this second, I'd shoot Mac. Three seconds in and he's sure I'm scum? Never played with him before so his certainty is either a bluff or a lie (depending on his alignment and if he's bad, how many scum he thinks exist outside his group). Plenty of townies are jokingly certain of scum on Day 1 but with two posts about it, I get the impression he isn't joking. Some townies can act really certain on Day 1 when they actually just have a hunch. Don't know Mac's meta to know if he plays that type of a townie game or if he's just looking for a mislynch or to look like he's contributing.

I'm not actually planning on voting for Mac, though. I'm planning on voting for whoever pings me enough that I want to lead a lynch or my top suspect that is getting enough votes to make them lynchable. (I don't vote third party very often cause I want my vote to matter.) I don't know who that is, yet, but I'll let you know.
Why you seem so bad then?
I don't know, Mac.

Why don't you tell me why you think I'm bad? Please be more detailed than your post about the cut of my jib.

Can you tell me more about yourself? How often do you catch scum on Day 1? How often do you act more sure of alignments than you really are? Whats your favorite role? You a site native or migrant mafia player? How long have you been playing?

I'm comfortable with Scotty voting for me early. Doesn't mean he's town but I've played enough with Scotty to kinda get his play style and I think is vote on me matches his style. I don't know you, though.

Am I McStrangepost? What's strange about which post?

I have a very very good day 1 scum catchy record actually. I just never ever convince people to follow me.

I always act with surety because I enjoy the melodrama.

My favourite role is insane indy role cop.

I am from RYM. I have been playing forums Mafia for 6 years.

Yes you are. Your posts make me scrunch my nose up. This usually tends to be when one is a bad.
