BB you can't be giving ppl shit for talking about town PR's. That said, how you doing?

@Moscow.... why are you feeling tense already?

@Warden... are you saying that lurking is not going to be as detrimental to town in this game? It seems that lately scum has used a lurking strategy effectively... wouldn't that still be just as bad, no matter how many people are in the game?

@Brainbomb... (I am writing three times in a row because no one is talking...) You're voting for a LOT of people... are you aiming at all 26 on the first day?

And incidentally.... I don't think bo was shepherding arj... bo is not that stupid. Looks to me like he just answered a question. If they were both scum, I would expect bo not to say anything to him at all, yet.

Peterlund posts first as scum sometimes. Or at least he did M24, why no reaction from ND?

Thats a strange person to just pick arbitrarily, and peterlund gave no reason.

I assume he is referring to a sign up thread that I don't recall... or is there something else going on there?

Yea dargo, Im not really scumreading arj or bo. Just wanted to see what they said. Bombadil seems contradictory. ND ignored peterlunds vote, moscows lying.

What about Warren's downplaying of lurkers?

Im pressuring balki, maniac, HR, vecna. Vecna is already different than last game. Balki usually posts something profound or organizational.

It seems to me that Bombadil is just taking shots and making comments... not too strange for day 1, especially with required posting numbers. Have you played with him before?

Bruh. I never said 21-5 isn't good for us. I pointed out that as we're more likely to mislynch, cop should scan his scan his scumreads instead of lurkers, as WD is suggesting. Do you agree?

Bo is kinda right, you are misconstruing statements.

@darg where'd I say I'm feeling tense?

A few people mentioned me early, xorxes, rivera, ike and tom. Of those 4 Tom felt the most forced.

Moscow are you saying you want to be scanned?

And no I dont agree. We dont even know if we have a cop. So seeking such validation is anti town.

@Moscow... you are right... you said, "Arj, I've been waiting to play mafia and it seems like I've hyped myself up for nothing. I feel anxious." Anxious to me means tense... sorry. Disregard.

Whyd you change his word darg?

I interpreted it... and apologized.

You interpreted it correctly.

How do you get from that I want to be scanned?? Lead me through your thought process.

We don't know whether we have a cop, yeah, but WD did make sense when he said we probably do because of there being only 5 scum.

##GM Call: Was the setup handpicked, rolled randomly, or rolled randomly bug weighted? To clarify, I mean which roles are in the setup itself, not the actual distribution of rules.

Also, if there's a traitor, would it mean 4 maf + traitor or 5 maf + traitor? I'm assuming the former but would like to double-check.

Yeah.. maybe... words mean what we mean when we say them... not what Dargo thinks Moscow might have meant.

##Vote Moscow

I really don't like his initial vote. Not because it's for me (though it is the first reason why it caught my attention) but rather because he gives no reasoning. I wasn't previously being joke voted by anyone (and am an uncommon joke vote anyway) and if this was a pivot to seriousness or a joke vote it would have been more elaborated on.

Also he has admitted to being anxious and seems to be playing overly seriously, I'm not sure what he's drawn exactly, but it certainly isn't VT.

Are you certain it isnt PR vash?

*shivers wildly* "THE BOATS! THEY HAVE GUNS! NOOOO!" *moves around, falls down his seat* *groans with pain* "They ... they got me. The north fell. The south fell. You were there ... and you too" *points at two persons* "You saw it. The evil pink army. I died. I don't want to die. Help me. Please. The evil will get us. They watch but don't say anything. Nothing. Just moving. Closer. And closer. And then ... you feel ... their cold hands ... I don't want to die ..:"

*his hands scribble something on the floor that reads webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=188010 *

No not certain at all, but my intuition leans scum over PR. PRs aren't usually too nervous early on, scum might be.

Wait what the fuck is Vash serious?

Why would he tell arj he is overly anxious anyway. Arj is a brand new player.

@Vash do me a favour and confirm for me that that was a serious vote and not a joke.
