    Ssh. It's a secret to everyone.

    What about my votes don't you understand? Atum tries to begin a myslynch on me, I counter his claims and vote him in turn for being scummy. Rubicon is being scummier still. Mathblade sees it too.

    That's just how DLP Mafia '15 rolls, sweet cheeks.

    This is going to come across as putting words into your mouth, but what I'm getting from this is that you're fishing for roles to do something with. I'm pretty sure that happened in Batmafia 2 and I don't see a benefit to town in complying at this moment.

    Literally because I feel like ignoring your line of questioning. Don't take it personally or anything.

    So I guess him providing reasoning for votes is a scum tell? I'll be sure to remember that.

    Also, spell my name with an i, please.

    Maybe the way mafia is done has totally changed because the last I checked these questions were asked to faciliate DISCUSSIONS instead of just blind accusations left and right. And it is more your reasoning and phrasing that matters to me instead of concrete ranking. I have my own views on what is important for the roles, but I am interested in seeing yours.

    Edit: If it really bugs you I can provide my own opinion piece on my question after class. Currently it feels we are getting nowhere honestly.

    See; my #63. He doesn't answer - but he can't have missed that, given he notes my request to properly use my name.

    ---------- Post automerged at 18:35 ---------- Previous post was at 18:31 ----------

    Everything I do stems from CYS and Batmafia 2. Consider my mafia experience prior to that as dead and null - it holds no impact on my behavior today. So when I say things it is because they remind me of something I've seen in either of those two games, and I seem to recall such questioning not serving as beneficial to town, particularly in a role-heavy game like this is.

    So I'm not going to go out of my way to aid someone that I don't have a read on and is, from my POV, asking for information that could hurt more than help. Please do not take offense at this - I'm just not going to answer your inquiry right now.

    Same as before. You could have left it in your QT and Sloth would still get the notes. Why post it in public? Useless content. Boost appearance and deflect too much attention from the again useless second half of your post which was also basically useless. It's an open ended post to set up later credibility. As was said by Atum I think, "pull the other one"

    Not from his perspective. Hell, even from my perspective I've only got a few real pieces of evidence to suggest I'm town.

    Oooh, just thought of one! A pretty compelling one too!

    Ok, Let's guess that he pretends to not know his own alignment.
    Why does he do that and, more importantly, how do you conclude he is scum from that?

    MathBlade: I'm sorry for ignoring you, it's not something I'm doing on purpose.

    Flashwagons are good, quicklynches are bad.

    fontisian didn't call me out either because she knows me well enough to know that's what I meant, or because she already knows I'm town, or because she's scared of me. One of the above. :p

    I wanted to see how she would react to being asked to vote someone, though. And also flashwagoning Zenzao is useful for meta reasons.

    Hi Irene. Any thoughts about who might be scum so far?

    Can you give some examples of things you took from CYS and Batmafia?

    We usually start with blind accusations to try to make scum nervous and eventually someone does something actually scummy and we go from there.

    I am still laughing from Fluffy's post.

    Atum, What the flap are you talking about?

    Try one more time. Because there should be a really fucking obvious one.

    See above re: evasion.

    I ask because I'm trying to decide if this is you as scum squirming under a little pressure or basically the same thing you did at the beginning of CYS.

    Why did you switch to voting me instead of Atum?

    Messed up quoting on the first part. Should be this

    Alright, let's ask again. What was wrong with Zenzao posting what he did in #51? And why do you think it's a good idea to ignore my line of questioning?

    And now you're ignoring it too. Let me quote myself then so that we're all on the same page.

    Again, what. They're the same thing in context- driving the elimination of a player rapidly.

    mfw. Really.

    And I considered that, but I deliberately stated up front that I was making notes outside of an in-game perspective. So far I'm not seeing a whole lot from your perspective that is helpful, either. Who else is ringing suspicious to you outside of me?

    No clue, just roll with it.

    Because I'm obvtown? I dunno but I bet I'm gonna be really embarrassed when you have to tell me what it is.

    A measure of insight, meta, on most of my fellow players from those games. I wouldn't call it solid but I have an idea of how certain players play and how they react. I've also got some idea of how to crumb after Batmafia 2.

    Does this read like Scum!Zenzao from Batmafia 2 to you?
