[MAFIA] The Wheels of Democracy ***GAME OVER***

By JJs Juggernaut, in Star Wars: Armada Off-Topic

TheToad- Papa Palpy. Gave us some potentially helpful information about the number of Scum. Willing to trust for now.

BrobaFett- High on Pod's list and has thrown shade on one verified townie and one that's leaning that way. Not much to go off of though.

CaribbeanNinja- With so much content I would expected more analysis, but I'm having a hard time with reads this game too. Your play is reminding me a bit of your forays into scumland.

Madaghmire- Triumverate #1. I can almost never trust you in this. You are exceptionally good at detaching your town persona from your Scum play. I'm willing to trust you if Roc says so, but I still can't shake the feeling one of the guards is crooked.

Visovics- As stated, you've been throwing a lot of shade, voted for two townies, and been spilling details about your shared role with Roc and Mad against their express wishes. As with Mad, I'm willing to forgive and forget for now if Roc vouches for you.

Rocmistro- Reading pretty town and I'm going to trust you for now. Please let me know your thoughts on Vis and Mad as soon as you're on.

moodswing5537- His usual temperamental self.

Caldias- I'm not remembering much substance to your posts. I might have to do another scrub like I did with Broba.

ImperialCaptain2017- Too busy having affairs with Jedi Padawans and constant assassination attempts. The role is about in line with what I would expect from JJ.

PodRacer- Your character is about as Scummy as it gets, you're erratic as all ****, and you're a vote thief in a game that supposedly only has 3 scum. It's almost too easy to be true.

After walking through this, my suspicion is team Scum is Mood, Ninja, and Pod. I can't quite put my finger on it, but Ninja has been pretty close to his masterful play a few games back. He's ducking in and out of votes while also throwing shade at both his potential partners in a way that makes me think he's trying to solidify his cover.

^^ MOBILE SUCKS. I think you caught the drift.

how long till i can catch you 1-1 @BrobaFett sitting down ready to play?

Imp captian, that means you and I are good friends. Interesting. I wonder if our roles have a link too.

Honestly I have been open about the fact that I get a bad vibe scum vibe from you, and I don't if flavor has anything to do with who ends up being scum, but maybe that suspicion is dialed back slightly.

...are you about to start sentences with "Meesa propose" ?

If you don't mind typos I'm here.

Maybe I should grab everyone of your posts and see how many people you pointed fingers at, provably end up being a pretty solid list of town.

An ACTUAL friend not a tolerated abomination.

Alright, that's one too many. I don't even care anymore. Too much useless nonsense.

nah mate. YOur way off course. this is intentional.

@BrobaFett

who seems like theyre trying to shut me down hard today?

Yourself by not making any sense.

everyone. thats right.

thats not an accident.

todays vote is your biggest yet, how you looking there?

No, you misunderstood me. No one has shut You down at all. Except you. You accuse so many people so randomly your accusations stop mattering.

Everyone has had a chance to examine me under a microscope, but there is still nothing that proves I'm scum, because I'm not. I get that I talk and it opens myself up to examintation, but id rather look for scum than hide and hope big bad pod doesn't notice me.

again, it stupid o clock here @BrobaFett And im at a loss for how to open you up further for now, we should cross paths 2moro.

Iv got enough conviction to vote you, i dont think youve been consistent so far, i do think youve been opportunistic. I do think your intention is to decieve from here on in. As a townie youve allowed yourself to be too easily moved, and your barking up the wrong tree putting shade on me.

Though you are wrong, at least this post has a point that can be understood. If all of them were like that honestly I wouldn't be so quick to put shade on you.

Problem is it impossible to tell if you are being distracting to throw off town as scum or being distracting as town. I wish I could tell, but I honestly cant, other than the fact that at best you are unintentional being deceptive yourself here.

Scum hunting has been ridiculously hard so far this game cause of the extra long day 1. If anyone has ANY better ideas I am more than willing to listen because its not like Pod screams scum. He just is condemned by his role and the toad. Its a case of a small logical reason for scum being better than no reason at all to be scum.

ok. now get out there and use this approach when hunting the actual scum, dont just vote people for being too quiet or loud. Actually do some forceful detective work. good luck and good night.

This is gonna take some reading on my part. Pod, you are infuriating. I'll think on my decision tomorrow.

mood i didnt want to do all this today, i wanted to catch scum yesterday, but like i say, upsetting ninja like i did allowed the scum to make moves. I hoped ninja was making a play yesterday, and as such the resulting confusion muddied the water to even a level i wasnt comfortable with. i Can only sincerely apologise for the whole debacle. It looks horrible, it was horrible.

Im an Xfactor when i enter a game, keeping people guessing is my thing, once you have played a few with me you can work round it and be succesful. youl even definately know when im scum. trust me this isnt it.

If your town i want to work hard for you, not be a distraction.

Look at Vis and truthi a bit harder now. Both know how to work around me but dont seem so keen.

Ok lets take this a different direction.

@Caldias and @CaribbeanNinja where do the two of you stand? Lot of info today and some input but not much from the two of you. What are your thoughts?

I'd err on the side of caution here. I'm not sure why you'd want to give scum more info.

Mood what does this mean? Why does your vote have anything to do with this? As in, why does your vote have to come off?

Honestly? Why would a scum garner THIS much attention on themselves? It doesn't make sense. It's like he's the roman candle, but the ones in the smoke....those are the ones we are looking for. It's the same thing I thought about Roc at first. Why would a scum make such a stupid claim against Truthi when we could prove it the next day?

SO many things in this game don't jive. Why are there three folks who are tied together by their roles, and why does that number happen to be the supposed number of scum/threats to town?

Why does Toad know this threat value? We assume it's his role, but doesn't the threat to town also know their own number? Couldn't he share it as if a role told him?

I am saying these things out loud because I don't want the Pod-smoke to cover these thoughts anymore. I want discussion. I don't want claims. I want investigation.

Now, I'm going to sleep. I will begin re-reading with a new filter in the morning. I will call this my BS filter. Let's see what passes through.

Sorry, have been doing other stuff. Will pipe in, but looks like we have another anonymous/double voter here.

Nah that's Pod.

Ah, using the stolen vote? Sorry, wading through the detritus has been a challenge.

@Truthinessthanks for the list above, but I assure you I'm as townie as they come. (I think you're reading my RL business and the fact that when you think about it, we are only really on true D2.)

@moodswing5537I totally get your frustrations and reservations with Pod. Nobody wants to hammer his *** more than I do, but I want to do what's best for the town. (**** I even pleaded he not be policy lynched). It IS too easy. My guess is he is either town doing Pod shenanigans, scum trying to make us batshit crazy throwing us off, or has some third party condition.
