Polls are usually kept in a separate thread Silver Lantern. That may not be the case here, so you could ask Spirityo if you're allowed to screenshot them. You said mafia don't have much reason to vote together here though, which is true but altogether an unhelpful statement that could only serve to potentially make others disassociate those voting together in the polls as being teammates. Scum on a fairly regular basis will try to seem like they're contributing by posting info that makes them look like they're being useful when in reality it's just filler disguised as activity. That is why I am questioning a lack of a real point to your statement.

Response to Dyslexicon:
1. I flagged you but didn't vote for the same reason Jay did: to wait for your response. I did mention this, but kind of in the second degree because I was advising someone not to pile votes on you until you responded.
2. Unless the marmot has actual reason to suspect me, I wouldn't read into his vote for me too deeply. He and I have history: in the Talking Heads game I tunneled him hard out of desperation and game-fatigue. He owes me many, many lynch votes. That is, unless he has actual reasons to vote for me pertaining to this game.
3. Mentioning my paranoia was a fluff post, and not at all sincere. I haven't played Mafia in...like, a year? More? That was just me saying it was good to be back.
4. Brusquely saying, 'No,' to my posts without explanation felt almost like you were trying to alienate me or something, because I've played only one game here before. I was taking it personally, I'm disregarding it now, never mind.
5. Most importantly: your response to the 'slip'. Your initial responses read as aloof, as if to laughingly blame us for misreading an obvious and dumb mistake. You insisted that you weren't dumb enough to make such a mistake--something backed up by Jay, who said that not even most beginners would slip such information.
But as Jay also said, even vets mistakes. Egregious ones. I've done it. Jay's done it. Most vets I've played with have done it. I think that the true mistake is not so much in your original slip but the manner in which you responded to it. First aloofness, and then explaining yourself.
Also, citing other games and saying, 'But look at my meta! See? I've done this before!' is a classic scum move.

Don't know that I've often seen a post that gives me as many mixed feels as this one.
On the one hand, I found the false aloofness to be aggravating (though I don't blame him taking a while to get a hard-to-find link, he's busy and the game that held it was huge).
On the other hand, saying "No, you really did screw up that badly" and then blaming him for copying play from previous games (EXACTLY THE SAME PLAY AND STATEMENT) completely contradict each other. It's like:
"No, that was a slip"
then
"It's scummy to purposefully copy previous games where you were town"
WHICH IS IT? I disagree with both.
And don't tell me that he made a mistake/slip and then HAPPENED to have an example of exactly the same thing down to the number.
(Note: When I get on a rant, I might sound agro and stuff. That's just me being a disrespectful old codger. Love ya, Strawhenge. Now die.)

I think the value of changeable votes is in late-phase maneuvering, not in pressure. Townies lose a lot of their ability to cooperate if they're stuck with just one vote all day. That's just Mafia theory though, don't mind me.

As for your first point, I blatantly disagree that his post (which yes, I edited out for brevity) looks like a slip. It looked, as I said in a previous post, about as much like a scumslip as me mentioning my "mafia buddies" or whatever in my first post.
And yeah, that's different here. Generally, where I come from, votes are thrown about willy-nilly. I feel like it's a pretty good way of pinging somebody in bolded text, getting yourself on their radar, announcing suspicion, and calling other's attention to it. The idea of being unable to change votes sounds like hell.
But hey, things are different here (or at least with you guys.) Gotcha. I get your point.
Also, people are much more forgiving of the "let's lynch lurkers D1" cry here. Apparently, most people saw one slip in Dizzy's post, where I saw three.
It must not be as obvious to those people.

"Do we have enough support to lynch this guy, or are too many people undecided or AFK?"
"Dunno, nobody's voted yet. Do you say we go for it?"
"If compelling counterevidence comes up, we'll be stuck with useless votes the rest of the day while mafia laughs at us. Let's hold off till the last minute and barely scrape by maybe."
I doubt the permavote games are that bad, but I like showing where my lynch support is. Good point.
Sorry, probably irrelevant.
I will continue taking full advantage of the vote moving as long as I live, though.

Had I made
only the first statement, sure, your "it's just filler statement" analysis would probably make sense.
But you're completely glossing over the fact that I placed that sentence in context in the very next sentence a sentence you also quoted along with the the sentence you're questioning. In fact, I find you're analysis quoted above to be the real "filler disguised as activity" or "mafia trying to seem helpful" way more than my original statement.

You believe that Dyslexicon made a mistake, and just happened to have a reference available a prior game with a very similar post
in which there was no mistake? As in, the existence of that prior example was good fortune rather than an indicator of personality or play style?

And the game he said it in had information in the OP of how many scum there were. So, what I think happened is that Dyslexicon slipped, remembered a very recent time that he made that claim, and pointed to it as meta.

My partner and I were messing around in the scum QT late at night, both counted wrong, and voted at the exact same time and the same way we quickhammered in a recent game where we were scum together, and didn't realize our mistake until another scum partner pointed out that we put him at L-1.

For reference to those unaware: this is only the second hammer game ever played on The Syndicate. A lot of the regulars are unfamiliar with the lingo. I played a handful on RYM, but this is my first one in a while too. I think given the mixture of representation here there's some general confusion about who is from where and how well we all know one another. Sorting it out:
Syndicate regulars: insertnamehere, sig, Marmot, Quin, Long Con, DrWilgy, Golden, Sorsha, nutella, Scotty, Elohcin, DFaraday
RYM players: Strawhenge, JJJ (I am also a Syndicate regular)
Naruto Forums: Soneji (also a Syndicate regular)
HCRealms: JOH, Silver Lantern, Fredwood

And so it just happens that he was right that game, based on dubious info.
It just happens that the other game has the same number of scum that he suggested this game.
It just happens that he slips with the exact same thing he said just a month ago, for similar reason.
It just happens that he remembered the other post, even though this one was an accident (which would leave the two posts with no correlation in his mind. Do you remember every post in this topic that you've made? That other game was longer.)
I don't believe in the power of coincidence quite that much. Though 5 is probably a good number of scum (for one team, anyway) in this game. Probably.

Anytime he invites WIFOM in early, and not talk about anything else in particular, I'm very wary.
I don't necessarily disagree. Wilgy tends to play in his own little world, but that still amounts to generating reads and interactive links of some kind. However, in a recent game (Felt 2?) I believe he was caught for "player salad" in one of his posts which would contrast this effort so far.
I have no reason to town read him.

Being forward and aggressive isn't scummy.
Acting like your job is done, patting yourself on the back and then coasting is. Not sure if you've actually coasted but hey, appropriate response to appropriate level of scumminess in my eyes. Minor. But more than most players at this point.
You never declared your work done when you got me lynched way back when.
Oh, that makes more sense.
Finding a silver platter slip is different from pushing through a strong scumread, the "my work is done, I'm voting scum" wasn't implying that I caught Dizzy or anything to that effect; I was merely noting that it was less urgent for me to catch up that second and was considering sleeping, but ended up catching up anyways.

Would expect more from Golden. "A great catch", really? Glaringly ovbious and classic I'd say.
Anyways, people are biting. Rawr.
When does day end?
Too smart to slip, I see.
Which players here are dumb enough to actually slip, for future reference?

Strawhenge I don't see it,
please help.
Discrepancy between number of player pairs and role powers. It's 6, and I tried to find where there might have been a scum caught, but that website is awful to navigate and I hate it and it's bad.
It's not concrete, but there's some information. Unless I'm massively misunderstanding it.
And so it just happens that he was right that game, based on dubious info.
It just happens that the other game has the same number of scum that he suggested this game.
It just happens that he slips with the exact same thing he said just a month ago, for similar reason.
It just happens that he remembered the other post, even though this one was an accident (which would leave the two posts with no correlation in his mind. Do you remember every post in this topic that you've made? That other game was longer.)
I don't believe in the power of coincidence quite that much. Though 5 is probably a good number of scum (for one team, anyway) in this game. Probably.
Then why the aloofness? Why not say it was a fake slip right away when people started voting and calling it out?

I disagree. I also don't like this post, which condemns Dizzy and then does nothing about it.
VOTE GOLDEN.
This deserves a sirengif
Even without you catching up, this is plainly misrepresentative. You clipped half of my post - the half that said 'if the original post doesn't say the number of mafia'. And what I did was go back and read the original post for myself.
I don't see what relevance the clipped information had to speedchuck's accusation. Why do you feel he should have included it?
He said I 'did nothing' - an accusation directly at odds with the bit he clipped out. Why do you think it's of no relevance?

"Did nothing" refers to the weight of accusation carried in your post. "That's what a real slip looks like" is clearly accusatory, and speedchuck believed that in the absence of a vote it could serve as a bit of a hedge. Declaration without action. Looking back at the OP to confirm the slip isn't action, because it's an implied necessity for the declaration to even matter.
speedchuck can correct me if my interpretation is incorrect.
To me it looks more like you insisting upon a misrepresentation that isn't actually meaningful than speedchuck doing the misrepresenting.

I've entered a busy time and I'm struggling to keep up. My wife's family are coming from Australia today and staying a week, so please don't expect my contributions to be as stellar as usual. I will still post a bit from work and from my phone but not from my home PC at all, and I won't have many opportunities to keep up.
That said, I owe everyone a reads post, which I will do as soon as I can.

I'm not insisting on anything. I said it
once, speedchuck replied, his reply is fine with me. By 'nothing' he did mean 'vote' (which, by the way, is not the same thing as 'nothing' even if you want to interpret it that way), and from the off I realised that it was possible that this is what he meant (although it wasn't clear to me). We've now resolved the misunderstanding.
I don't like this push from you at all. You're making it seem like I was being way more aggressive and repetitive than I was.
