If you want to hold my desire to remain alive in the game against me, so be it. I have never been, nor will I ever be, content to simply be lynched if there is any possible way to avoid it.

The logic is that if townies make no noise as they go then we can easily tell if we have got a member of the mafia - mafia are going to kick up a stink about it.

That is a very bad strategy. Doctors and Detectives also kick up a stink about being lynched.

Detectives can reveal.

The sarcasm is not needed. The point TC is making is that lynching on the basis of wanting to live is a bad way to go on about it - in his opinion.

Because I'm neither. I was simply pointing out a flaw in his strategy, not claiming a role. I am just a normal townie who is being lynched largely because I won 2 of my last 4 mafia games. While it is somewhat flattering, it is also annoying because it has nothing to do with how I actually play in this game. I don't mind a retribution lynch for Netherworld and Midgard (and I'll admit I might deserve it), but please try and get it out of your systems now and try and judge me on my actual gameplay in the future.

Let's look at the case against me, shall we?

First, GH votes for me because of my previous games.

Then Ignoramus and FH think I'm suspicious because I'm trying to do as little harm to the town as possible.

I don't care or protest at this point, and TheFlax even agrees with me on my vote.

Then Reenk Roink votes for me simply to save his own butt.

This now puts me over the top based on pretty much nothing, so I defend myself and vote for Reenk Roink.

Then people get upset because I defended myself, ignoring that RR did the same thing first. Somehow RR is ignored in all of this and Tevashzat, likely a hapless victim of RR's games, is the one in competition for the lynch. He votes for me out of self-preservation as well.

Finally, I'm nicely bookended with yet another vote due to my previous games.

So, of 7 votes against me, 2 are because of my previous games and 2 are for self-preservation. That's a very nice case you've built against me. Kudos on your detective work.

I hope both of them get killed. I'll personally kill the survivor.

**ULC** · 01-08-2009, 22:36

Wow...I am a bit floored TC...I feel I must ow try harder in my mafia games

**Thermal** · 01-08-2009, 22:42

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

you hadn't adequently defended yourself before this point, so don't blame me

Oh come on, you yourself have said that the first round is nothing but randomness and chaos. I was thinking about taking my vote off of you but not after this statement.
