I thought we played a couple years at JI first. Not sure those games made it here. One game there was the one I think EY made CTM a cross dressing zombie in or something. HaHa

So he made CTM play himself?  Not that original really.

Please dude. He's the Godfather of Omgus. I call you out and all of a sudden I'm instantly scum because you disagree with me. Maybe that's all they got to know about you as well. 

Hahaha, oh boy.

Alright catching up, sorry work today was a sh*t-show.  Last thing I want to really do is read more words, but I will do what I must.  At least this should be less idiotic than everything else so far today... and to be clear no, that's definitely not meant as a compliment to any of you.

Thank you for the compliment, it means a lot.

Given it's a day one, odds are likely those small handful getting highly aggressive and particularly patting themselves on the back are dumb townies going after other dumb townies.  The strength of a D1 argument is hardly even a thing, unless there's a huge ****-up, so how quickly it turned into the opposite extremes of that is kind of nonsensical, both for supposed absolutes of right and wrong.

Most likely the majority of scum are among the quieter crowd (yeah, I know I can go FOS myself on that), although not necessarily based on post counts as much as those avoiding the slap fights.  A lot of this has been the same arguments going in circles so I'm curious to see if there's nearly a fraction as helpful some are trying to sell it as, or if we're just ready to get ourselves into full-on confirmation bias mode no matter what comes of it.

About the only things that stood out to me along this painful catch-up was Verbal's "strong" stance on his suspect list seems rather heavily dependent on votes for him being the ultimate scum-tell, which is either butthurt townie or paranoid scum, either being pretty weird from anyone that's played this a time or two before.  Crush also seems to be a little more wound up than usual, but from what I remember he's not only passive as town but even more as scum, so not sure what take from that at all.  At the moment JGB strikes me as just doing too good of a job convincing himself of some random things having major meaning, while self-appointing himself a martyr.

Most of the other blathering on going on didn't really register with me much at all outside a lot of the normal nonsense that goes through these games, especially around here.

I'm going to go eat now and ignore you guys again some more.  Try not to miss me too much.

It's likely as close as any of you will get, so I'll just say you're welcome.

I can’t tell if this is the roll over in order to buy yourself some time play or the 10k IQ/self absorbed “my play will win us the game” nonsense the LK used to do but el oh el

May? Your lack of complete confidence in yourself makes me sad and frightened ?

Meh

so we’re playing now - unvote 

Yeah this

17 hours late, my spidey sense is a little rusty

Also I’m not doing my usual quote all the way back through anymore…too hard and it becomes daunting when I see too many pages. I’ll quote big stuff moving forward, otherwise I’m going to quickly get too far behind

Has no one shown AVM the wonders of the spy glass some of learned last game after playing for 10 + years and didn't know ?

AVM see the little magnifying glass next to the multi quote and quote options at the bottom of each post ? 

Click on that see what happens. 

If you already know then rule #14

oh and BTW you never had any spidey sense so carry on

That is not a scum tell for me. Not in about 10 years at least, since the days where I thought I was doing so good as scum I was aghast at the idea someone would see thru it.

Lol right. It is true that people who are oh so sure will need to reassess. That’s not fear mongering, that’s a fact.

No, it's not fact.  If we are wrong on you, I will literally say, oh well, he deserved it and move along.  There is nothing to defend for voting you, you're played very scummy.  You also literally encouraged people to vote you because it's safe but then you want to sus the people who do it?

My freshman year of college.... you're probably the SOB that poured 70% of a bottle of vodka into the beer Funnel coming down from the roof when I went up to hit it.

Potential issue:

Will this group be able to get together enough to vote the next rounds, or is it going to be all random lynchings the rest of the way?  
 

Well random is fun.

D1 is historically the hardest day to come to a consensus.  Very rarely do you see more than 1 rando in a game.

Nah, we're searching for CTM after all, so he's not even here to be my prerequisite fellow scum who turns out to be a traitor.

I was a lover paired w/ scum last game.  Yep.  Nobody is town paired w/ scum more than me.  Actually this stupid mod did it to me once.

In defense of the stupidity, I sort of normalized catching scum on D1 for a few years while you were on hiatus. For a stretch, my most effective scum hunting was D1 and D2. Same happened last game. 

Thus game? Bad timing on start. So, I’m kinda just put big around until I have better mental bandwidth.

I'm really annoyed that there's clearly a good 80 / past-lover joke to pull out (hehe) of this but my brain is too tired to formulate it at the moment.

I can believe that, but will just chalk it up to the overall level of mafia play seriously suffering from my departure.

Probably gotta go back a couple years, but I know we’ve played together + I know you always crater on me because I’m a living, breathing trigger for you.

Cheers!
