Okay, Damnit. WTF are you people doing!? If there's one thing My Ugly Scum Bits learned from my last couple of games, it's that the town sucks balls at subtlety. So, My Ugly Scum Bits said screw it, I'm going to be a big loud mouthed asshole so everyone knows exactly what I'm up to: 1) Describing the roles you submitted is stupid. There's no guarantee that it's as is, so even if it was a town role, it doesn't mean it still is. All you're doing is flooding the thread with nonsense that could potentially be useful to scum. I don't get this reasoning/logic. You ask "What good does it do?". I ask what harm does it do? It might shed some light on whether or not the mods actually included variants of the roles or not and that IS info that would be nice to have in a closed set up, in my opinion. <snip>I'm a firm believer in lynching for info, I'll only use my power to save a confirmed Townie from the lynch. And since the only Townie who'll be confirmed by me, but not the Town as a whole, will be me, My Ugly Scum Bits don't foresee using my power, unless the Town decides to lynch me. I think it's a pretty good way to test your claim... and since skimming is a scum tell, it'd be like two birds with one stone. Seems like you "smudged" me and now you're smuging Pleonast here, in a way. But FGoD has said Pleo has a role similiar to what he ( FGoD) submitted. This makes me lean more toward a townie feel for Pleo..although it is certainly possible that they both could be scum in cahoots. But I don't think that would be something that would happen this early on. One scum and one town even greater odds, though, and since Pleo is the one that has his side with a bit of substantial evidence, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for now. So, who's going to be suspicious to you now? Top Dog?

Ahem!!!!!!!Thunder crashes and what not.Did My Ugly Scum Bits anywhere say either of you get to decide the results of the bag of marbles or the creepy doll? For your information that decision left your hands when Hockey Monkey accepted a game, although, looking at my calculations here, the net result is the same!!!!!! CatInASuit wins the game of marbles!! CatInASuit gives the marbles to Hockey Monkey after winning!! Hockey Monkey gives them back along with the creepy doll!!!! As Hockey Monkey runs away she suddenly trips and falls on her face. The creepy doll is laying behind her on the floor. A weird harsh laughing sound seems to be coming from a broken voice box in the doll. Marbles Score CatInASuit: 1 Ha! Oh wait. Fuck.

So, who's going to be suspicious to you now? Top Dog? Well, since Top Dawg is in this game (I think he's a Mad Hatter type role, as it was strongly suggested to me last Night), yes, I am suspicious of Top Dawg. Pleo is obviously skimming, and we can easily confirm if he's lying about his role by lynching him. He won't even have to die to prove himself, either. It's not a smudge at all, those are simple facts. You're right in that several others claimed to get their PM at the same time as you. It is of great interest to me that the arguably most suspicious person, Diggit, is on that short list.

I think my point 2 in my claim addresses your concern. As I'm a firm believer in lynching for info, I'll only use my power to save a confirmed Townie from the lynch. And since the only Townie who'll be confirmed by me, but not the Town as a whole, will be me, I don't foresee using my power, unless the Town decides to lynch me. Fairly put and I agree. I just want to make sure we're all clear and on the same page on this.

I think it's a pretty good way to test your claim... and since skimming is a scum tell, it'd be like two birds with one stone. You know what? This pisses me off. I've been asking for several games now why people insist that skimming is a scum tell, and no one can give me a straight answer. Beside the fact that there's perfectly legitimate townie reasons to do it, like say when I'm catching up, I like to see the current vote count and see if anything pertinent is occurring before catching up. Any response there is "skimming". Or maybe someone read the thread and happened to miss one point and then gets accused of skimming, when it's an honest mistake. And I doubt there's anyone here who can honestly say they haven't skimmed over at least one of mine or Roosh's obnoxious posts. So how about we stop with these obnoxious, black and white, unsubstantiated scum tell claims. Okay? Thanks.

Gah, Ah gotta be a "me-too" bandwagoneer right about now. Ah am thinking diggit is likely a pfk. Otherwise why would he not understand the objective? "Eliminate all anti-town elements" seems pretty freaking clear to mee. That was obviously not in his pm.

Though I'm REALLY REALLY tempted to vote for Mr.Blockey instead. As My Ugly Scum Bits think El Conquistador is a MUCH better sounding M0d Title, and he thus obviously MUST be the superior M0d to Mr. Blockey (though our Sexy Dotchan M0d is not too shabby either. NafMod is cool too for now). What do you think, oh great and Awesomely Cool El Conquistador? Should My Ugly Scum Bits try to vote for Mr. Blockey for trying to impugn your awesomeness? If so, feel free to switch my vote to Mr. B, oh Great Kid V- whose Mighty V is a formidable and youthful Letter, far superior to the stupid wannabe-Eight of the silly B-level M0d....Silly Mr.8locky, El V is your Daddy. The Serene and Omnipotent El Conquistador asserts that he can handle Blocky. You attend to your win condition, and all will be well.

Okay, Damnit. WTF are you people doing!? If there's one thing My Ugly Scum Bits learned from my last couple of games, it's that the town sucks balls at subtlety. So, My Ugly Scum Bits said screw it, I'm going to be a big loud mouthed asshole so everyone knows exactly what I'm up to: 1) Describing the roles you submitted is stupid. There's no guarantee that it's as is, so even if it was a town role, it doesn't mean it still is. All you're doing is flooding the thread with nonsense that could potentially be useful to scum. My Ugly Scum Bits don't get this reasoning/logic. You ask "What good does it do?". My Ugly Scum Bits ask what harm does it do? It might shed some light on whether or not the great and glorious mods actually included variants of the roles or not and that IS info that would be nice to have in a closed set up, in my opinion. Muddying the waters is bad. But since that's apparently too simple, I'll give a scenario. Let's say I'm a good townie and I honestly describe the gist of the role I created. First, we have no reason to believe, particularly given that our mods are Gastards, that it is in the game AS IS or if it's even in the game at all. What if they turned a pro-town role I provided into a scum or PFK version? If that role IS in the game, and he's scum, you've just given him perfectly good cover on how to convince us he's pro-town. What if they turned a scum or PFK version into a town role? You've just cast undue suspicion on a pro-town player, who may not have it otherwise, that can then be manipulated by scum. What if the role doesn't exist at all? Then you've, at best, muddied the waters, and at worst, provided some information to the scum. So you tell me, what do we gain? Some says "I sent in role X" then someone else says "Hey, I'm role X". What do we learn from that exchange? Absolutely nothing. Conversation for the sake of conversation is bad. When I've played scum, this has been one of the key points I've tried to pursue. I WANTED to create lots of conversation, I just wanted to keep it off of the points I wanted to avoid. It helped dilute the information and keep people off task. Talking about what roles we submitted is something that looks good, but under even a remotely critical eye, is a complete waste of time. It's a good way for scum to keep us busy and off task. So, unless you can provide a more compelling reason than trying to read the minds of our self-admitted gastardly mods. I maintain my position that that is a bad idea.

Why the hell are SO many people voting for him already when he hasn't even had a chance to respond to the accusations? Even better, if he's telling the truth, we're going to waste his lynch. The only way I see it not being a waste is if we're right, but with such a plethora of evidence, there's no way he's pro-town, eh? Damnit.

Ah'm still voting for diggit, because ah think he's a better lynch, and ah'm not convinced of Pleo's scumminess, but ah am suspicious for sure.

It is of great interest to me that the arguably most suspicious person, Diggit, is on that short list. Well, it seems to me you know more than you're telling. Which is understandable and reasonable at this point--I'm sure others may have outside info (other than just about themselves) that they have--but it's also funny because I just randomly picked a usual in-joke character and, whattya know? He turns out to be in the game (well, if you're to be believed). My Ugly Scum Bits don't get this reasoning/logic. You ask "What good does it do?". My Ugly Scum Bits ask what harm does it do?

While I do agree that the mods could have done things and made modifications to roles submitted, I still don't see how it could be helping scum. Maybe I'm just dense in that area as this isn't the first time someone's said something could help scum and I fail to see it...but anything given is still equal for everybody. Remember that scum don't know who is who either so I don't see how trying to figure out exactly what is what in this insane, Salvador Dali-type game is a bad thing. Right now scum ALREADY have more info, they know who is who, for the most part. Or at least who is on scum's side. Town has none so pardon me if I choose to believe that ANY is better than NONE. : p I guess this is where you and I differ. I don't see it as making conversation..I see it as "trying to figure things out"! You see what's going on above? A marble game. A MARBLE GAME, for pete's sakes! So, what are we to do? Just sit here and not talk about what it could mean? Just sit and watch and maybe laugh at it? Not talk about it at all? Not try to figure it out? I didn't think that was what Mafia was all about.

BUT WAIT, U MITE SAY, SCUM CUD TELL OTHR SCUM WUT ROLE THEY SUBMITTD AN/OR FALSELY CONFIRM ROLE. SO DEN, IF SCUM DIEZ AN THEIR ROLE DOESNT MATCH THEIR CLAIM, WE TAEK GUD HARD LOOK AT TEH CONFIRMR.

So unless I'm mistaken, we have the following on the board already: Pleonast: Executioner, can stop one lynch including his own but cannot vote. peekercpa: Something that I~ don't quite understand, but Ii think there was a role claim in there? Kat: Can only speak in lolcat because she lost a game of rock, paper, scissors. Cookies: Can only vote and unvote. Hoopy Frood: Taken out of action under suspicion of being a serial killer. Hockeymonkey: Peddling a Creepy Doll that won't leave her alone. CatinaSuit: Plays with marbles. Has a score of 2 right now. And unless I'm mistaken, both Kat and Hockeymonkey have said that their particular restriction/creepy doll were not part of their initial role. Did I- miss anything?

Skimming isn't a scum tell in and of itself, saying "skimming is a scum tell" implies that it doesn't need context. If it needs context, it's not a scum tell. My point is that skimming as any sort of tell depends heavily on context and could be completely meaningless. For instance, do you have any idea how much skimming I had to do when subbing in the Batman game? The fact that I was actually scum is irrelevant because there's no way I could have participated AND caught up on that much of the game even if I was town. Give me motivation. Give me reasons. Give me something more than "This particular action is a scum tell. Vote." In this case, Pleonast is now being lambasted as a skimmer, and thus scum, because he didn't know one point from the openning color. Does that qualify as skimming? He could have simply forgotten, or not played close attention to it. Hell, I don't remember half of what was in it because my mind is full of all the obnoxious crap that has filled this thread so far. If there's one thing I learned from my last two games of mafia, it's that the town likes to find simple solutions and stick to black and white scenarios. I got lynched because "lurking is bad" despite the fact that most of the people thought that my behavior made no sense for scum to do. There was no real analysis going on. "Oh, Roosh must be pro-town, his role is too complicated to make up" "Oh, storyteller must be scum because his role involves zombies". There's almost zero coordination and teamwork. Everyone is trying to win the game by themselves, and there's just not a whole lot of effort going into good old fashioned analysis. Wouldn't you be mad too?

I'm a bit busy to do the proper coding at the moment, so I'm just going to respond. In response to BlaM- Look, dude, don't get all high and mighty on me here. It has been noted by several high profile, veteran players lately that town is going about things wrong. We're not doing this right or we're not doing that right. Well, you know what? It's fucking Day 1, and if you have something better to go on than knowing that a player hasn't even read the Dawn post or looked at the Player List (which I'm assuming you haven't done, either, or I don't think you'd be attacking me so quick out the gate), like bufftabby said, maybe they already -think- they know what it's going to say. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Pleo has -any- votes on him yet; you're conflating him with Diggit, I believe. As for that case, I've already stated why -I- think it's scummy. And second, if you're gunna tell people not to vote or build a case or discuss somebody who hasn't responded yet, how about you don't attack me in two consecutive posts when I'm not around? In response to Idle: All I know is I was licked by Top Dawg (note the spelling) last night. Somebody else was, too, I believe, and we were only supposed to speek in 733+ until we asked "Who has the hat?" in plain English, and that question was answered correctly. That's why I think TD is in the game, and we'll be able to tell how many people are licked (reasonably accurately) by how much 733+ we see around here. That's another reason I don't wanna play marbles.

Ah hear all of mah posts in Foghorn Leghorn talk now. Of course, ah really do kinda talk like that. Ah'm a bit Southern, Mr. Scummyboots, esq. Now mah secret is out. *I* was just about to post the same thing! Buffhorn Legtabby. So unless I'm mistaken, we have the following on the board already: Pleonast: Executioner, can stop one lynch including his own but cannot vote. peekercpa: Something that I~ don't quite understand, but Ii think there was a role claim in there? Kat: Can only speak in lolcat because she lost a game of rock, paper, scissors. Cookies: Can only vote and unvote. Hoopy Frood: Taken out of action under suspicion of being a serial killer. Hockeymonkey: Peddling a Creepy Doll that won't leave her alone. CatinaSuit: Plays with marbles. Has a score of 2 right now. And unless I'm mistaken, both Kat and Hockeymonkey have said that their particular restriction/creepy doll were not part of their initial role. Did I- miss anything? Mr. Scummyboots, esq. BlasterMaster seems to be posting as a pissed off person. :sets Creepy Doll down on the sidewalk: : pours gasoline on Creepy Doll: :fishes Zippo lighter from pocket: :sparks lighter and drops it on Creepy Doll: FLOOOOOOOM!
