Hinckley

Yes, but complaints have gotten much worse. When I was a kid, people used to complain really well. I miss the old complaints. They were a lot better than today's complaint.

Shouldn't you be voting for Adelaide? I thought it was her idea.

I'm assuming a janitored player couldn't become a stump because they could tell us what alignment they were. So we have no way of knowing if you will be a stump and it doesn't take long to generate some lists so why not at least try?

This, yes. Seriously. Ahem... All of your "studying" of the rules failed to bring up the point that we are supposed to see the alignment of lynched players! So you are either reading in low light again or deliberately trying to make us believe that Alastair wasn't janitored. The Scum chose to janitor Alastair because it gave us nothing to work on today as far as voting patterns, accusations...or Alatstair's alignment. That is the simplest explanation. The fact that you are trying to confuse further, perhaps capitalize on that confusion and refuse to send out codes makes me very happy with where my vote is placed. If you are Scum, burn in hell. If you are Town, turn your lights up already.

Because she's "useless" not because you think she's Scummy. That's very interesting. Well, add another "accusation" to my nature. Tell me, what about accusing people makes you suspicious? This is an even stranger statement than "asterisks look pretty good in low light" or whatever. Thank you for explaining this. I was really dense again when Adelaide first mentioned it.

I think some people are just misunderstanding the benefit. I think it actually may be overkill that we'll appreciate if it comes in handy. At worst, it's a waste of time, at best, it will catch us a Scum but I can't imagine it killing the Town the way some of you seem to be insinuating it could. Let's say, for example, I die and I was the Flying Hippo with Laser Beams that come out of its megablocks and I tell the Larry our code word for the Flying Hippo with Laser Beams that come out of its megablocks. Then it turns out that Larry is Scum. ... Whoa!!!...Epic fail!!!! But, if the stumps all coordinate and they had a handful of roles and they tell the wrong person, maybe.... But I would hope that if the Stumps are able to figure out that they had a bunch of PRs, they'll be smart about who they tell it to. For example, if I die tonight and Larry is still alive tomorrow, I wouldn't give him the code to my Hippo, because he's, at best, a bit Scummy. But that's assuming the stumps will live for more than a day and be able to pool such resources. Ugh, stumps are complicated. At least they're not virgins!

I'm sorry. I can't associate being a noob with being unable to read and keep up.

But they might also be Scum flying under the radar. It just seemed like a bunch of filler to defend all noobs and then remind us that they might also be Scum flying under the radar. That is what we're trying to discern by poking them...

Sue suddenly is talkative! I commend you for your excellent Speedy impression. Can you summarize any more possibilities for us? Oooh, intrigue. Why is that, Catarina? How did I end up such a highly esteemed list? There are other active players posting from Europe...

Aha! Now I get it. Thank you.

That's the way I understand it as well. It's not so much that. Her defense to the asterisks was that she was reading in low light and therefore the asterisks looked good. Then she asked why asterisks were a problem. Then I apologized and said I get migraines from staring at a screen for too long (clearly when playing Mafia) and only then she mentioned it was because of migraines that she keeps the brightness on her monitor down. We've gotten a lot of info out of her about lights and typewriters and neurological sensitivies that might induce migraines, but not near so much content for the game. This, coupled with her accusing everyone who accuses her and other odd behavior people have pointed out make me think she is a good lynch for today, though I have no evidence of it from my PM conversations and roleclaims. There's still at least 24 hours left if a better option comes up. I think we have options that are as strong as the case we have against Catarina. It's worth continuing discussion despite people's protests about there being ever so many words to read.

Not sure where your scratch leaves your suspicion of Chester, but the above quote from him did ping me as well.

Or don't type asterisks in low light.

But it would just be one player's code list...

So, we should each find one person we trust most and send them a codelist, correct?

This isn't a defense, it's a play-by-play. And I wouldn't say you have a future in Mafia Game sportscasting...

This is, of course, still being considered. Nobody is verified...until they are verified. The reason why I can say no more about why I consider Bruce verified at this point is it could take away my ability to verify others. Aaaaaaw, is reading things hard?

But the word "migraine" didn't come out of her mouth until I mentioned it. The original reason was it hurts her eyes.

There are more votes for you now. Do you have anything to say?

Yes.

(Bold added for emphasis) That's ominous...

There's a huge difference between disliking something and being suspicious of. I will point out what I find suspicious. It's not everywhere. I'm sorry if it's too much suspicion for you but I'd rather err on the side of caution than sowing seeds of trust everywhere. I think my seeds of suspicion have garnered some good discussion and reactions we'll be able to look at over the remaining days of the game. Maybe you don't like me pointing out your Scum buddies screwing up all over the place.

My point is that I post (a lot of jackass horseplay, I realize that) a lot because I'm working on theories, poking people and drawing out the Scum. Did any of today's conversation bring you out of your Catarina tunnel to look at any of the many other issues raised today? You can tally my posts instead of reading them, but I think I've brought some issues to the table that are worth discussing. How'd that happen?

What else do you have to contribute outside of schooling me on the correct way to play?

Thanks for the Mafia lesson...
