    I hope to get to know you more
    We do. We played that game with Sir Moody when I was voted to death thanks to his 1337 writing skills.

    Vote:White_Eyes:D

    There is something wrong with you.

    random vote(sorry)
    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    You seriously think that was me pouncing on you? I am merely pointing out that in the first round, where we have 0 evidence, someone who responds to a vote on himself by voting for the person who voted for him is creating evidence for us. Also this post of yours seems to only have the defence of "I am not incompetent enough to do that" - thus throwing up a WIFOM situation.

    No, but I am being antagonistic, no?

    So, by your statement, you ARE saying I am an incompetent mafioso by creating a situation in which I would present evidence that would eventually and possibly soon, lead to my own demise and thus be a detriment of my own team?

    Also, I am not defending myself, I am trying to argue against your own argument - their is a difference. And there is only a WIFOM me situation if your willing to create one. One can create WIFOM out of anything if one wishes, I know, I do it very easily, almost unconsciously. And that, CA, is WIFOM only if you continue to insist on looking at it that way.

    The town will make a significant step towards victory if they vote for Tevashszat who has a minor but still important role in the plot against the town.

    However, Reenkaten has no need to vote to eliminate someone seeing as he could simply do away with Tevashszat in a much more direct fashion. Rather he wants to showcase his immortality and votes: Reenk Roink, courteously.

    Do not worry Mafia, Reenk-sin will bestow a favor upon you this upcoming round to even things out.

    Please, elaborate further in a way that does not involve a method with intent to confuse or leave half enlightened. If you so choose, further the knowledge of the situation in a much more effective way, or I will intentionally see fit to make sure Tevash does not get lynched on such a poor stab at him.

    Um.....yeah. I'm just a plain townie here.

    I will vote:Reenk for trying to pretend that he has more power than he actually does.

    By the way, 3 votes (White_Eyes:D, Reenk Roink, TevashSzat the Mafia), I am in the lead.

    Sorry, bad grammar in such a condensed area makes my head spin.

    Also, I'd just like to note the complete opposite behavior patterns that Reenk and YLC are showing in this game as compared to The Golden Rule.

    Note it then, cause I don't.

    And yes, my grammar is bad, I am surprised I allow myself to use words greater in length then 6-7 letters.

    Well, no, this is more like you. You're just acting out-of-character in the other game.

    ...also, this is why I usually only play in one game at a time. I already can't think straight.

    I've played the hard nosed townie style in Golden Rule in your Mafia VI as well as Interficio.

    This is Loki style (and who turned out to be Loki? ).

    The Prometheus was Mafia V style.

    All right, let me do my discourse on your posting behavior and then I'll head over to Golden Rule to discuss what's going on there... and then I'll take some pills and do something mindless for the next three hours or so. I may have to drop out of this game; I can't really handle this multi-thread thing.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Naturally, I'm quite familiar with your behavior in my games, and Midgard. I did a quick read-through of Prometheus too. I can't really remember Interficio TBH, but I do recall that you were quite fond of that game.

    Now, you've named three distinct posting styles, however, there are similarities in terms of substance as opposed to actual "theme" of those styles. Your "hard-nosed townie" style is a "I'm going to attack those whom I deem most leading the town astray". In Mafia VI I distinctly recall lengthy posts against Sasaki to this effect. In Golden Rule I am substitute for Sasaki.

    Now, Prometheus and Mafia V, you were the villain in both of them, continuing to make lengthy posts throughout the game, especially after you made your "roll the dice" move in both. In Midgard (and so far, this one), your modus seems to be "screw it, let's see how much fun I can have", making both lengthy, and frequent posts.

    You break up your posting behaviors by role: townie, ambiguous higher power, and villain, respectively. However, the one thing they all have in common is post length and frequency. Up until a couple of hours ago in ATPG's game, you had neither.

    Ahaha good analysis my friend, and yet you forget that in both Csar's Rise of the Mob and Capo I played a lurker style as the Mafia, and most recently as The Watcher in Beefy's recent Mafia, I played a hard nosed townie that was indeed the Detective.

    It is futile trying to find patterns.

    Best bet is to lynch me early every game. But oh wait, what if The Watcher was lynched???

    I find these day 1 attempts at analysis to be distracting. They end up getting people like Odin lynched in round 1. Better to stick with the random and idiotic and wait for the real evidence to surface.
