    @tom I'm a child of the 90s and the apocalypse is making me nostalgic.

    @The Waco Kid you can agree with the idea that the reaction was odd, but it doesn't necessarily mean that tom wasn't attempting to push that without committing to it himself.

    Anyway what exactly would the scum motivation be for any of Gemma, Sloth, or Fonti to jump all over Fire there?

    None on DLP, so I guess I'm disadvantaged in not knowing all the previous interactions.

    To be honest, if you wanted to be safe, you might as well prioritize lynching everyone who's previously run strong mafia games, and trust that the newish mafia will out themselves soon enough.

    Wouldn't that just benefit you?

    Incorrect. Safe would be actively scum hunting. This isn't safe it's lazy.

    Can we just do this?

    I'm not saying that cause it in any way benefits me.

    Sorry, what was i pushing?
    --- Post automerged ---
    Like I thought I vaguely got what you were saying. I commented on something you didnt think was important and then <wasnt gonna follow up on it> or whatever.

    But the question "what would the scum motivation be"
    Well
    Like scum need to push people i guess?

    I didnt call any of those reactions scummy though. Thoughts im getting from that are all more worldbuildy in nature and largely unformed.
    I mostly voted gemma not for the vote (it was allegedy for the vote formatting not the setup derping) but for dancing away from it rather than interacting with me or fonti about it after we started talking.

    So i guess thats the windmill part of your analogy, but im sort of just riding a horse. Barely even in a direction.
    So yeah weird analogy...

    I feel like anyone would be happier rolling mafia? Who wants to be a loyal servant of Arthur (yes, I'm going to continue with Avalon references cause it's my fav)

    What a fun strategy if you're newish mafia

    I misclicked thumbs up on tom’s #32, I don’t know if it notifies the person even if you un-thumbs up it.

    Anyway lol at a different three people commenting similar things to fire’s most recent post.

    fire, what’s your mafia experience on other websites?

    Do you have any observations that are based more in what people have posted this game and less in theory, if that makes sense? You’ve posted, like, general suggestions for how the entire game should be played, which is fair enough but I’m interested in more specific thoughts if you’ve got any.
    --- Post automerged ---
    Grape, is Waco in the role of Sancho in your comparison?

    Umami, why the MP7 vote over the other lower posters? (Also, what pronouns do you use?)
    --- Post automerged ---
    Tom, do you have any opinion on Waco so far?

    I get, like, vibes but I feel like it’s just because I haven’t played with him before.
    --- Post automerged ---
    Also I think I get what you mean re: Gemma, I guess I’ve been operating assuming she’ll dance back to game-related interaction eventually.
    --- Post automerged ---
    Also, grape, do you have any feels or thoughts not related to tom, more generally?

    The Fontz? Haha.

    Could you tell me more about Sloth and Umami?

    I thought Umami seemed present but wasn’t saying much about the game unless asked, but meh, it’s early.

    Ive got one game of experience with umami but theyve gone from Frodo at the beginning of Fellowship to Frodo in the "keep your secrets" meme.

    Haha, isn't that meme from the start of Fellowship?

    i.e. I think I understand what you mean but it might not be what you actually mean, could you explain a bit differently?
