peter (whenever you do have the opportunity to read this): Can I get an answer to my page 1 question regarding bald and particularly your interest in voting for him? Wouldn't it be better also to see his play before going down to make assumptions about his play?

ghug: Given the circumstances of my last time playing, I would normally agree with you about Jamie's position on my last time playing, if only because of how it ended. But most of my play in that game was a fine performance, and I play well when I don't have responsibilities to weigh me down. And yes ND is a decent player. He's won a number of games for the town, putting forth a primary reason for the M11 win, and in M15, or whenever I was last scum, his PR ability and how he chose to apply it was the only reason town won that game. Furthermore, in that same game I distinctly remember the scum team (which was experienced) discussing the different metas. ND's play gets better over time, while yours deteriorates.
More importantly than anything else, why do you feel having such abrasive and antagonistic play could be at all helpful this early in the game?

@Snowbumble: Why is your D1 strategy based on nothing more than throwing insults around?

Why is yours being absolutely worthless in all regards?
I suspect the answer is the same - we can't hide the truth within.
TrPrado (461 D)
30 May 17 UTC
I think your play has been far more worthless and potentially more damaging than Jamie's, snowy. I asked ghug about why he's being abrasive and antagonistic, I'd like you to answer the same about yourself, please.
Good news, friends. It is I, Balki, your local town magician. I am blessed with the power to deduce your alignment from a single quote. It’s a pretty awesome power. I may explain my magic trick later, but for now I will bless you with the rabbits out of my hat, and leave you awed and amazed at what the fuck I can do:

Snowy: “Hey Oztra. This is your second game of mafia now, and frankly you were a net negative in your first. How do you intend to change the way you play such that you don't end up as a ghug again?”
✔Town

Ghug: “Prado only played like twice. He was shitty. I caught him. It was great.”
✔Town

TrPrado: “Is snowy usually this much of an asshole?”
✔Town

Jamiet99uk: “Let's round up those alien scumbos….In my experience y2kjbl is a tuneller. He tends to latch onto one or two targets and drill into them exclusively for days at a time. Certainly he did that to me a while back, when I was town, and he just wouldn't listen to reason because he'd convinced himself of my guilt. This was a problem because I wasn't guilty.”
✔Scum

Y2kjbk: “I've definitely tunneled a lot in past games, I need to be better and avoid that this game.”
✔Scum

Ezio: “Him referring to us as "earthings" is indicative that he hails from a different planet than this wonderful planet!”
✔Scum

BB: I understand the trick so no need to explain, but given the logic I've heard in past games, it seems to be far superior determining alignment of new players than experienced ones.

"How does it feel like being the worst player in a game with Balduran, Oztra and VashtaNeurotic?"

That isn't abrasive or antagonistic in your opinion?

snowy: Or perhaps the fact that you've voted for 4 people (peter, HR, Jamie, and ghug) over the course of the first two hours of the game? That's not antagonistic?
Jamiet99uk (808 D)
30 May 17 UTC
@Snocksucker: I took the trouble to answer your questions about the track record of two other players. On what basis was my response "worthless"??

@Balki: You're better than that. Re-read.

snowy: Your game is damaging. Absolutely, I'll tell you why. Because you're giving me the perception that you're being an asshole for the sake of being an asshole. If we were still carrying a joking tone as early games will tend to be, I wouldn't mind so much. But we've moved on from that and you're still going around berating everyone left and right, pushing buttons for fun, without even probing people with questions that could actually be helpful. I didn't care on page 1, which is why the only thing I posted related to peter. But if your current behavior continues, then it'll be a big distraction for the town at end game. And if you're town it means you'll be an easy vote. And that's something that should be weeded off long before we get to LYLO. So yeah it's incredibly damaging.
Oztra (30 DX)
31 May 17 UTC
well mr snowy,
i intend on doing more this game (even though it is exam block) and posting more thoughts and just general stuff this game to assist the town in winning. also in not getting modkilled by having more than 5 decent posts a day, like hopefully this one will be considered to be. i want to have an active part in the conservations and just survive like last time. now i at least have some experience with this stuff so i know semi what to do.

Anyone still think this guy isn't shit?

Balki, you weren't on the shit list but your scumreads suck.
snowy801 (591 D)
31 May 17 UTC
Buddy, if you ever see me at lylo you'll know me to be scum
But as I suspect your perception will fail to matter in any wise, come early or late game, you'll have to forgive me if I fail to pander to your expectations on how this game ought to be played

Is the voter fraud investigation a distraction?
Is it Republican Data mining? Beating a dead horse? Or all of the above. It feels like its designed to help Republicans gain shitloads of unsolicited free information about voters. Why else would they need such data? Why not trust the states - many of which are Red states to uphold fair elections.

New player - submitting support orders
Hi. Could someone please explain the syntax for submitting a support order? It shows up as: Army at X support move to Y from Z.
So, X is the supporting army. But is Y the Army that is being supported or the territory that they are attacking?
Thanks!

GB 3 Game Tournament
Being in the middle of a pretty long, drawn-out game, I feel the need to flex some tactical muscle. I'd like to propose a 3 game, semi-anon, 24 hour phase, WTA series. Preference is for a high reliability (<80%) and moderate to high GR. 25 to 50 point buy-in. Once we get the 7, games will be created and PW messaged out.

1) Hamilton Brian RR 98%, general GR position of 177

Magic Money Trees

But this week there was £1.5 billion of magic money to give to some extreme-right Northern Irish homophobes with strong connections to terrorism.
