Opposite Gender Friends leads to Lower Academic Performance
Interesting paper I'm reading right now. Not completely done with it, but its methodology seems sound.

Hi I am new, quick question
I am starting a game with some friends, can you play with less than 7 people? If so, is anything different compared to a full game? Thanks :-)

I don't think you were scum-read for quite awhile in the games you were mafia Chaqa.

Does this mean you're town?
MTG sucked. Why does Elspeth cost 6 mana? This game is bullshit.


y2k is scum Chaqa is town. Follow the mayor pls.

"my comment is mostly a joke wjessop, i'll trust anyone when they deserve it. you're far from a target. if you're town i expect you to be just as strong a townie as you were scum in the last game and would want you hanging around."

Overexplaining

"only scummy thing i see so far is tvrocks, i don't like that second vote on ghug even if it is a joke. turns the joke into a legitimate lynch candidate for zero stated real reason. i'll start off with a ##VOTE tvrocks"

Not actually a reason for someone to be scum

##VOTE y2k


"The rebels are a bigger threat because they're are three of them. The Bounty Hunter is just one man, and in the end he'll probably get lynched or night killed or something. Rebels have some decent powers, and with all of us being experienced players, it will be tough to catch them.

I think an end vote is a bad idea, by the way. Day 1 lynches, while much more likely to be on a townie than a mafiaso, give a lot of information later on. Basically, I've come to appreciate them in retrospect. It's not so much about WHO we lynch, it's about HOW we lynch them... all the interactions, analysis, and information we can gather after the fact.

Anyway, I will join Warden just to get a vote in, and ##VOTE No-Lynch"

Post openly contradicts itself immediately. Not carefully crafted at all. Too careless a contradiction b/t "we have to lynch day 1" and "I join Warden and no-lynch" to be scum.

... really? I "need to vote" because it's one of the rules we use. You HAVE to place a vote. Why not go complain of Warden? He did the same thing. I'm not going to respond anymore to this, if you're really that concerned about the way I phrased it, welcome to the past 10 games of me getting scum read because of that.

I'm frankly sick of being scum read within the first day of every game. It's fucking annoying."

Coming back in 5 minutes to inform everyone you're mad = you're actually mad. Scum don't get mad when correctly accused early, they get nervous and appeasing.

Also the whole way he phrases everything makes me want to lynch him, and I have a hard-on for mislynching Chaqa. So he's probably town.


HR and Flum can be slight town for pre-emptively agreeing with me on things.

Lol I just caught thdfrance's comment about me D1. Lol I swear I do nothing wrong, it's just that ghug really doesn't like me and he has this way of making me look like a complete idiot. It's how he gets his angel wings in every game. Making completely sane people appear crazy is his way of convincing everyone that he's scumhunting. And he is damn good at it.

Chaqa's right that there's no reason to attack him for this and not Warden. Chaqa's wrong that it makes sense to do, especially as he had already voted, unless he plans to lurk through the day and not be modkilled for it. Flum is right that Chaqa always does dumb shit, so I don't think it's especially scummy from him. Warden is often right, and here he is doing dumb shit, so ##VOTE Warden. Also ##END cause I want to see where this goes.
Yoyoyozo (95 D)
22 Jul 15 UTC
Oh I don't actually think Chaqa is scum. He seems like his normal self. A bit.. how do I say... "passionate", but himself nonetheless.
"Lol I just caught thdfrance's comment about me D1. Lol I swear I do nothing wrong"

i'd like to lynch this guy too. two lol's back-to-back = lol and lol @ "i just caught" blablabla

And can everyone stop voting end, that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
hey guys stop voting end since i sleep and work 16 hours a day now and can't be tha reel mvp if you end the day preemptively.

also if you end without lynching the wagon i want

*~*i will end you*~*

and sure, but then people are voting end and reducing our time to catch mafia for no good reason.

plus it reduces the chance that ~*~*~*~my~*~*~*~ wagon will win
ghug (5068 D(B))
22 Jul 15 UTC
Yoyo, that may be the smartest thing you've ever said. I only do it when I'm scum though, so it's irrelevant here. It also doesn't apply to you, as you're never sane.
hey ghug what dumb shit is warden doing?
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
22 Jul 15 UTC
so i'm feeling similar to how i felt at the beginning of M8, where I was scum and immediately said things that got me flagged and my response was to shut down because i was a bit dejected that i was scum yet again, and i would play off of my fellow mafia members. opposite side here, but i'm still saying scummy shit apparently. i'm just trying to call people out for anything that stands out to me at all and get the game going. nothing really else to it.
i say we kill him
Yoyoyozo (95 D)
22 Jul 15 UTC
Well ghug, if you say so.

Some early reads:

Ghug: Super Townie Extreme to the MAX- says that he is not scum

Yoyoyozo: Mafia Shitlord- never sane

Sources: Ghug's holy word.
Oh wonderful ghug, please continue to enlighten us with your words.
Yoyoyozo (95 D)
22 Jul 15 UTC
Y2k, so what you're saying is that you feel like shutting down so that no one can find scummy things in what you say?

##VOTE y2k
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
22 Jul 15 UTC
i felt like that in M8. i absolutely do not feel like that now because i'm not scum. i won't be lurking at all this game.
ghug (5068 D(B))
22 Jul 15 UTC
@PE, the no lynch thing. I'm guessing it's going to be followed by a fuckton of lurking without a need to actually come on later and cast a meaningful vote. Warden has a nasty habit of leaving his vote where it doesn't matter, and I think he may already be planning for it here.

I have thoughts on your y2k thing but I want y'all to interact some before I share them if that's cool.
Yoyoyozo (95 D)
22 Jul 15 UTC
So what do you mean by you feel similar to how you felt in M8? In what aspect?
ghug (5068 D(B))
22 Jul 15 UTC
And Yoyo stop whining please. The only reason to have an irrelevant meta argument with me is to waste the town's time. I guess it could be an attempt to undermine my credibility, but I feel like you have a high opinion of my ability to convince people of things and would thus assume it would backfire and not do it. Don't know where I'm going with this I'm kinda intoxicated but basically just stop.

y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
22 Jul 15 UTC
both M8 and this game start off with me just saying some things that in M8 were me just trying to sound town and here are me trying to stir up conversation, but ultimately sound the same i guess and I got called out right out the gate as sounding scummy in both. so i feel the starting public position i'm in here is the same as it was in M8. i feel very differently about it though given my role. that's what i'm saying.
ghug (5068 D(B))

K Yoyo, I just don't want to spend a whole day in a dumb argument again cause that was only worth it when I was scum.

I've only ever played FTF with people who don't really care about the game and want to be done after a year, and I always feel a twinge of jealousy when I sew those people having fun playing in real life on that crappy coast across the country. This is just a post to see who might be interested in getting something set up on this side of the country. I'm in the Seattle area.

Conundrum
So the people who make the schedules at my school are kinda dumb. I signed up for both AP Micro/Macroeconomics and AP European History. Only one class of each is being offered. And they happen to be the same hour. So I need to drop one and pick up some other course. I really don't know, so what (preferably AP) course would you suggest for me to take instead of AP Micro/Macroeconomics (because there's no chance I'll drop Euro)?

Getting Germany every single game
Hi everybody, I'd like to ask if anyone has experience with an account getting a certain country every single game. One of my friends who I've played in several games against has drawn Germany out of the pot every single time. We're onto the fifth time out of 5 games he's gotten Germany.

I'd put it up to chance but we've reached 5 sigma and are on our way to 6. Thoughts?
