M1007 — "Mafia, She Wrote" Game Thread

EMC, this is ridiculous. There are 15 min left and it's 3-3-2.

[e.m.c^42]

##vote xorxes

skimmed his past 2-3 games, and this game has been rather OOC for him, regardless of alignment - as scum he tended towards rather short posts and singular questioning. As town his posts were a bit longer...but they tended to be more varied?

but more importantly, at least we'll get confirmation on teacon with his flip, since I trust in xorxes abilities a bit more than teacon's (no offense lol)

My vote sits where it is then.

I did a full reread of teacon's D1 and realized that his vote for damo, though at first sight redeeming, was in fact pretty much forced by the statements he had made, so it didn't really get him off the hook.

I am not inclined to believe teacon would allow himself to be forced by his own statements to vote for damo as scum.

- He said he had voted for ND as a reaction test and not because he sumread him (he viewed ND's shennanigans as helpful to town).
- He had damo as a second tier scumread, which in his hierarchy meant somewhat scummy but not a good lynch for D1.

Both of those things he did well before he could foresee that the EOD would come to a choice beteen ND and damo.

What is hard to believe there? Which of those two things are hard to imagine that a scum teacon would do?

Then he posted his bizarrely long EON post where he mostly defends his actions from my case, while at the same time claiming to believe that I made the case as a ruse to fool scum into keeping me alive. The post also includes unabashed pocketing of ND and very weird reads of Vapor.

I do not see why the length of teacon's EON post is alignment indicative.

Length + content.

Did you read it? (Serious question. I was very tempted to skip it myself.)
Did it seem plausible to you that my case against him was a ploy to get scum not to kill me?
Does he seem genuine to you in his lengthy protestations that that's what he believed? (He didn't just say it once but insisted on that repeatedly.)
If he did believe that, is it plausible that he wrote such a long defense/explanation of his actions, when he didn't even think the case was for real?
Did you think his blatant buddying of ND was towny?
Did his reads of Vapor sound genuine? He stated later that he believed Vapor was the cop. Did you think Vapor was the cop? Do you think it was reasonable for him to spend so much effort letting us know that he believed Vapor was the cop?
There may have been other things that I don't recall atm.

It is possible teacon said those things about ND and damo as scum, but they would not lock in his vote. When he later said he would vote damo over ND, it was likely those were going to be the top two wagons.

I did read teacon's long post, I agree with some of it, and disagreed with other parts. I did think is was plausible your case was to avoid a NK, although not likely. However, a town teacon might be more likely to consider it.

I do not remember everything teacon said about Vapor, but Vapor did reference the cop.

xorxes said it should be him or teacon, so it looks like he will get what he is requesting.

“Folks! Sorry to be doin’ this to all the outtatowners, but we got not choice but to keep you all here.”

The Sheriff’s announcement drew immediate complaints.

“You can’t do that!”
“I’ve got to get back to Boston!”
“This place is crazy, I can’t stay here!”

Bill Donavan, an enormous barrel-chested man who ran Cabot Cove’s largest greengrocer, stepped up and bellowed, “QUIET DOWN! You folks heard the sheriff. Nobody’s going nowhere!”

The rest of the crowd, each of them smaller than Donovan, hesitated. Then a wiry man, a foot shorter than the grocer, stepped forward and stuck his finger in the big man’s chest. “Oh yeah?”

Donavan puffed up his chest, loomed over him and said, “Yeah.”

Then he looked behind the wiry man, seeing for the first time the angry crowd, each one with a spark of anger in their eyes. Somebody said, “We’ll see about that.”

XORXES HAS BEEN LYNCHED. He was Bill Donavan, a Vanilla Townie!
