After a re - read. This just in from the Discovery Channel. [Discovery Channel] Recent observations from the Hubble have confirmed that the universe does in fact revolve around a phenonemon named moley. Noted physicist Stephen Hawking went so far as to say, "It appears that this portion of the nebula has an appendage shaped like a pencil protruding from what we astronomers call "their squid". We have tentatively named it Mr. Ed. Further investigations will determine whether this is unique or just a fundamental flaw in God's design. We believe that if it is, in fact, a stellar anomoly that we have the tools to cure it. We are currently looking at converting the Moon from cheese to a large dose of Viagra. We can then target the moon to the limp dick and have it exit the galaxy."[/Discovery Chanel] Fascinating, I tell you. Just fascinating. Woot the flippin' woot. Ain't life grand. Best peeker evar. With the miserably shitty morning I'm having, I needed that. The dog just finds me confusing, instead of telling me knock-knock jokes. I'll try to post some content sooner or later, but "miserable shittiness" does not lend itself well to an analytical mindset.

Hey, I never lied. Well, except for that little "I am town" part... maybe that was a fib. Molefan, I don't understand how your actions line up with your stated goals, and until I do, I'm going to be suspicious of your motives. Here's the deal. Players vote for people they have suspicions of. You play controversially, and thus garner suspicion. Your surprise at this is either disingeneous, or ill-founded. I suspect the latter.

Of. Fuck this shit. Something is afoot in Whoville. Two posts in a row where I am not met with derision, scorn and outright contempt.
What the flippin' Sam Hill is going on?
Moley, KidV was much more elequant and sophisticated than I could ever be. Trying to save your ass for Day two is just a numbskull plan.
And I gotta add I love the descriptor "numbskull". My dad used it on me all the time. We had a contest once when I was a kid where we were trying to see who could jump off the tallest part of the tree wuithout getting injured.
I won that bad boy. While I was writhing around at the base of the tree waiting for some help here comes my dear old dad. While the rest of the kids were explaing to him what transpired he was getting a little foggy. Finally, he just turned and spoke to my prone and broken body and said.
NUMBSKULL
He did, however relent and take me to the ER after it was all said and done. Looked at me kind of funny for a long time, however. This was when I was about twelve. Got a million more. Wait till I tell you about the teenage years and I discovered how over the counter meds and marijuana can be combined to produce some seriously hilarious outcomes.

Personally, I don't really know about molefan. Truth be told, it'd be an awful play for scum. But it's possible also the only thing he could've done if he is vanilla town to get himself lynched on day one again.. *shrug*
It's not enought for me to cast a vote - and I don't see any tells from other players yet.

'Kay this is what is called a "lollipop".

The YouTube link defies description, but looks kinda like a poodle with turrets that somehow survived severe exposure to nuclear fallout.
Moley's claim and the reactions to it seem to be the only items of conversation at the moment, aside from weighing in on the "I think there are 5 scum" hypothesis.
I'm not inclined to vote for Moley as of this moment. I'm not too concerned with how many scum there are yet, but 5 seems like a reasonable placeholder.

So far, all the day has done is confuse me with the level of sound and fury.
Molefan, as far as I can see your claim means one of two things; you're vanilla Town or the Godfather.Again. When we get one of these choices, I prefer to play a wait-and-see game. I'll wait and see which hypothesis your behaviour supports.
In the long run (that is, over a series of games) your behaviour Today is anti-Town. If this is not an all-vanilla Town game (and Idle has a history of wacky roles) then you have made the job of the scum slightly easier Tonight; as the game progresses and the pool of nonScum players shrinks, this effect will become more pronounced.
Your contention that it does not matter because the effect is so miniscule is not well-founded; not when you consider how bizarrely improbable some events we've already seen happen in these games actually are.
All you've succeeded in doing is draw suspicion on yourself where none existed.

As for the players not being in the game yet... we started in a weekend! Not everyone get to spend every living hour with internet access! Please tell me - did your PM ask you to insult everyone in Day1 or you would get MOD-killed?? Doesn't sound like Idle... but right now I don't see anyother reason for you to play like this!

Beg pardon Total, I didn't mean to insult anybody with the "mmouse" - "Mitey Mouse" thing. I just wondered if a mistake had been made because it seems improbable that two players exist with those names, and they don't seem to have posted together as yet.
OK... as to my attitude... last game p-ssed me off more than just about any game for a long time had, because I essentially got shafted by my allies. Peeker's right when he says I'm "bitter" about that. Look, when I was the Godfather in the game before that, I will happily admit I played a terrible game and 100% deserved to get lynched. What I don't get, what I never have got yet, is why my effort to protect a town power role essentially ended up in my lynch. Because let's get this clear - nobody actually voted for me when I first claimed. They only did that after I defended Idle, the doctor.
So I'm sorry if I sound aggrieved when people question me, but the absolute last thing I want to happen is to be taken out early AGAIN by my allies. Plainly the memory of that last game is still on my mind. It's why I'm playing so differently now, and why I've taken a route that (ostensibly) might be considered anti-town. I still maintain that it's NOT anti-town because it's the route that IMO leaves me least likely to be lynched first. Whether people like it or not (and I can understand if they don't), they won't find any evidence to dispute the validity of my claim.
That being the case, I suggest we all say "Ok, he might be telling the truth, let's note it down, leave it until we have further information, and look for something else."

Because let's get this clear - nobody actually voted for me when I first claimed. They only did that after I defended Idle, the doctor. I should clarify that. While I believe the town in the last game were out to lynch any role-claimer, regardless of the merit of their claim, nobody was actually targeting me until I objected to the lynch of an unconfirmed (and as it turned out perfectly genuine) doctor claimant. So while I don't believe my partial claim was the reason for my lynch, I do think it was used as an excuse for it. Obviously partial claims don't work on this board, and neither (from previous games Apocalypse and Gastard) do no claim at all. That being the case, I chose to come forward early with a 100% genuine claim. That's why I've acted as I have.

Geeze mole can you at least try to see it from our point of view. How the hell do we know if you're our ally? As far as I can see you're playing the same game again. "Trust me , because I say so. Wah, why doesn't anybody believe me?"
FTR I truely believed that Idle was not the doc last game because I thought it was such an anti-town move for a doc to claim on day one for no reason. My pursuit of Idle's claim then bit me in the butt, and I got killed off day two. And I still think it was a bone-headed move because town did lose their doc on night one. But I don't want to replay that game.
So right now I've got nothing to go on but you claiming for no reason and mispelling your character's name because: "I just write it differently." So it's wifom all around, are you a bone-headed scum or a bone-headed town or a possibly bone-headed PFK.
Insulting all of us is not helping your case.

It's not making you appear any more Town to me though....quite the opposite actually.

Absent that take a dose of cough medicine and lay fucking down. Shit your logic and goals are kind of fauxed up.
You won the last game you something or other. Why keep bitching about winning the game. Mother of Og. You are starting to sound like Terrel Owens.

Here's the thing:
From reading molefan's comments regarding the Skrull Planet game subsequent to the game I've come to understand that molefan has his own very specific ideas about what constitutes good pro-Town strategy in Mafia, and that his ideas are completely and totally antithetical to my own. He's also very clearly less than thrilled about what he perceives as poor play on the part of Towns. But his strategic views - while, again, I disagree with them - are not in and of themselves evidence of scumminess, and we're not going to get anywhere spending the whole Day discussing him in the way that we're discussing him.
Tomorrow morning, I'll reread the four pages so far and see if anything else jumps out at me. For now, though, I'm tired and cranky and going to bed.

Something is less than fresh in an area west of Germany. I do believe that Hamlet needs to be heard from. And if the young king decrees death, then death it shall be.

It's obvious I've got hangups over my lynch in the last game that have had me on edge since the start here, and plainly that's not helping my game or my attitude any. Quite honestly I'm having about zero fun... well, whatever the opposite of fun is right now. And plainly I'm not exactly contributing anything to this game either, except a helluva lot of negativity. Whatever, it's obvious I shouldn't be here and, attitude aside, I don't want to spoil things for you guys. So sorry to let you down, and don't go lynching the poor sod who replaces me because of what I've done.

Hey, story any reason you are stepping up for moley other than the goodness of your heart? Kind of fucking odd. Seems kind of weird. And I agree that moley is doing some off the wall stuff, but why get in the middle of it? Because I've played this game over and over and over and over and over and over and I have watched some variation on the current theme play out over and over and over and over and over and over and over. No one's voting for him yet, but here's how this will go: we'll putz around talking about his claim for two or three more real-life days. Nothing useful will emerge from the discussion, because ultimately a Day One vanilla claim - while I think it's unwise and reflective of a principally self-centered game-view - isn't really Scummy in any meaningful sense. Eventually, a few hardy souls will try to change the subject, and a few votes will be placed on someone. They'll role-claim, and the whole Town will back off. Then, toward the deadline, with no better obvious option, there will be a rush of votes for molefan, who will be lynched. And frankly, I'm sick of that pattern. And honestly, peeker? Characterizing what I'm saying as "sticking up for" molefan tells me you're not really reading my actual posts for comprehension. molefan may be Scum, or he may be Town. I don't know and, for the purposes of this discussion, I don't care. What I care about is the quality of the arguments against him, which is poor, and would be poor regardless of his alignment.

Peace, my friend. I am almost congruent with you thoughts. I merely try to create fracture points where scum may slip up, I would not be doing my townie job if I didn't call you on it. And now that he has asked to be subbed, do your thoughts change?
I never argued that he was scum, merely that his play was anti-town, in my opinion. If you are town then surely you realize that more discussion and "confrontation" is healthy. FCS we have knocked heads previously. I know that you don't necessarily agree with the way I play this game (it's a fucking long line) but I do play it straight and hard.
I got Miller last game. I didn't whine (much) and just kept plugging. Just the way I do things. But I have also started thinking down the sach line of reasoning. They can't be scum because scum would never do that. Well, fuck maybe they would.
Shoot, in for a nickel.
