The last post I found was this:
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_shining_gog_mafia_65_return_to_the_stanley_hotel/post253

Which kind of make sense. I don't remember zazak bringing it up again after that.

It's not about benefits of softclaiming, but detrimental effects of claiming. The alternative was claiming and nerfing my role.

I don't mind you speculating about my role, but to state with certainty that there is no role in which claiming would damage its effectiveness is incredibly arrogant.

Not really... Joe's has that flash of red.

Although didn't he steal your avatar at one point? That was maybe a bit too similar.

Previously on Mafia... the one I hosted. He added some text to it.

He doesn't exactly say "but I realise this isn't a softclaim", but I guess it could be inferred. Still, it doesn't read that way to me - feels more like "I still see this as a softclaim but I'm going to let you off this time".

He also specifies "day one" in his policy lynch conditions. I'd like to point out that this is day 3 and the soft claim wasn't exactly unprompted.

Ooh, that rascal.

on GOG we only ever hardclaim at L-1, if asked after we reach L1.
I'm sorry you decided to sub out, and hopefully, after observing several games here might play again sometime. I have appreciated your advice on how other communities play, and I have and do consider it, even if I don't always follow it.

everyone:
also, i haven't been online much bc of irl issues over the weekend, dating back to friday night when gog ate my posts (until i put 1 paragraph at a time when i should have been in bed). This is not a AtE, but I have been averaging 4-5 hours of sleep/day for the last 4 days and might be trying to sleep much of this day.
I am currently clearing SPF because I like his logic, dating back to d1 up to today, his playstyle until today resonates with me making my gut happy about it, and I see nothing scummy about what he has said. Nothing overtly town, either, but nothing damning yet. However, my natural tendency is to think the best of everyone and I have to purposely go against my nature to try and read everything from the worst perspective and I am bad at it.

i would vote him to avoid a NL if there was no toher choice.

I am interested in Pooka's vote on Cadaver, as I think it was less thought out than Pooka's vote on carradice.

GR worries me far more than anyone else. He is never here, summarizes but does not offer opinions, and almost never comments on current events but previous ones. While I willingly gave him a few days (calendar) grace due to his loss, the time is far past to allow it to continue.
I'm not claiming same, but if I have an investigative PR, I'd use it tonight to hunt among my top suspects:
ZFR ZAZAK GR
I'd even use it to confirm SirP's being town.

And if you're night killed? What use does your role have then?

Only very slightly less use than if I spell it all out.

That's gold! I thought after AFP's accusation reason about "round brackets" no one would beat it, but you actually overdid it. I like that you are suspecting me, truly. But you better find something serious for my case, I don't know, a "discrepancy" maybe.
And yes, I wanted to sound worried, that was my intention. I'm not denying in any way.

Yes, *fast*, and that's how it was.

GameRager's playstyle reeks of scum tell (lurk, no info, odd discrepancies which I prefer to call "mistakes"), he is an "easy target" like a few players mentioned already. So yes, worried, but not about GR's wagon, no. And you might have noticed that it was exactly GameRager who created an L-2 situation then changed his mind soon after for whatever reason: "compassion" or "fear" of drawing too much attention. GR is almost asking to be lynched, like you at the beginning of D1.

That was a bad move, especially after you stated your intention to move on and that "I'll continue to hunt scum" statement. Yeah, thank you for that. In case you haven't noticed you just helped Mafia A LOT by bringing more confusion.
And I've waited for your reasoning behind the vote on Pooka all for nothing! (and AFP's comments since it was your requirement)

You weren't particularly polite towards SPF but who was another "village idiot"? I'm asking because "village idiot" might be a "scum infernal" (I made it up, I have no idea if there is such a term).

At least thank you for your small analysis on Pooka, AFP, Microfish leaning scum; ZFR, Cadaver not leaning scum that much. But you could have give more thoughts.

Likewise.

There's a distinction between 'being worried' and 'wanting to sound worried '. The latter suggests that you aren't actually worried but are concerned about being seen as worried. Of course why you'd tell us that I don't know, but such slips can happen.

2 people Thursday to Saturday is fast. Ooookay.

Yes, sorry for being a bit blunt (as in "straight" meaning), it's my usual self to use English words and to construct sentences *unorthodox* in a way. I'm aware of scum scheming and "manufacturing" thing, but I'm not THAT stupid to let it slip. I will not apologize for my English ever again and use it as an excuse in GOG Mafia games. If you (maybe not you particularly) feel that I could be a mafia because of this, fine with me. I still don't like the reasoning and expect some more of Pooka's insights, his reaction is interesting.

You voted 2 days ago (Saturday?), Zazak and GR voted 1 day ago (Sunday). Yes, OK. Why?

Except maybe GR, we've all give our reasons.

Again, D3 started Thursday. How is this wagon fast?

Especially if we compare to GR whose wagon grew much faster for... reasons.

But whatever, have it your way.

Speculation
GR's reasons might be:
1) *I want to look like the others*
2) *they vote - I vote*
3) *they doubt - I do the same*
4) *they ask me for scum reads - I'll copycat some from yours in past postings*

Again the D3 will end on Tuesday (it was meant to end on Tuesday before we lost a player).
That's how that wagon was fast.
I don't like your "whatever", it's not about my or someone else's way. It's all about truth and contradictions, we need to find scum or a killer(s) (or something else, who knows) and I don't know any other means to do it.
