Re: The Godfather, Part 3 (IN PLAY)
I don't like ethier of the choices for lynches. Sasski is drawing fire for, well, being sasski, and I think Tincows profiling so far is no where near enough to drive the bandwagon we've been seeing for Beefy. How is he suppose to defend himself for those accusations? He has no way too.
Vote: Abstain
Unless a better lynch comes up.

Why don't you respond to my accusation and try to find someone you think is suspicious instead of waiting for a candidate to come up?Originally Posted by Lord Winter
Re: The Godfather, Part 3 (IN PLAY)
unvote:Beefy
Vote:Lord Winter
I've worked hard enough at staying alive (STILL a good play and what I always do as town) that I do believe I'll be lynched soon. Last time voted to save myself more than once I got lynched soon after.
But a good rule of thumb for an early round lynch when there isn't much evidence is to lynch someone who doesn't post much and is gliding by:
LW is near the bottom, out of WoG range, and is displaying the risk averse mafia trait of watching and waiting. Add that to my previous post which he didn't reply to and make your choice

Re: The Godfather, Part 3 (IN PLAY)
I think the person who created the same theme from last mafia have alot of time on there hands and are known to be crafty, putting beefy out of the equation IMO, but putting tincow in the line of fire, he keeps on referring to the punctuation grammar thing, so much that he probably did it himself.
vote: tincow

Re: The Godfather, Part 3 (IN PLAY)
Come on Sasski, you gave me 20 miniutes to respond to your post, I wouldn't call that a delay. Response to your orginal accusation.
Now, mafia in those days was much more helter skelter. Lynching was often pretty random. In that game I (as mafia) started a bandwagon to elect GH (godfather) as chief of police. GH voted second. So why pick out Seamus as the "third on the bandwagon" and vote for him? Checking the original game Lord Winter was 4th on the GH bandwagon
I don't buy Lord Winter finding the reenk bandwagon incredibly suspicious because there's no particular reason for the mafia to make a big effort to elect one of their own, and if they had then surely Lord Winter should suspect Reenk and another person from the reenk wagon as well.
You can't write off that bandwagon as evidence just because we're supposedly more experienced. The town has fallen for stuff like that in recent memory. Yes, the use of incredibly may be hyperbole but it still set off an alarm in my head as I was reading it. There's plenty of reasons a mafia would want one of theirs in the CoP position. It gives them influence over the town and an excuse of why they haven't been killed when we get further into the game. Even if Reenk wasn't mafia, bandwagons still are a tool frequently used for the mafia to slip by the town. My choice of Seamus was based off of the common idea that mafia tend to be third on the Bandwagon. His response still hasn't proved his innocence to me either.
Further more none the accusations point towads mafia behavior. At best I'm guilty of poor logic.

You posted before this without responding to the original

You said it reminded you of godfather one--yet as I pointed out, in godfather one the first and second person on the bandwagon were mafia so why would you vote for the third this time? The "third on the bandwagon logic" is used because mafia want any townie lynched and so as soon as anyone starts to gather votes they jump on. This doesn't work at all for the CoP voting because the mafia would only want one person elected, and so would be much more likely to start the bandwagon themselves. If some some insane reason they would risk that after it was done in the first game when the benefits of being CoP are minimal.
One of the things we look for in mafia is posts that indicate that the suspicion is not genuine and arrived at by artificial means. Your posts indicated that you weren't genuinely suspicious of Seamus and you are admitting that now--you aren't voting for him or anyone on the reenk bandwagon today and are waiting "for something good to come up" instead of looking on your own. It's easy to see how a mafioso would come in on day one, try to find a reason to vote, make one up without thinking about it too hard, get called on it and back off, and then avoid accusing someone on day 2.
Correct, at best you are guilty of poor logic, at worst you are a mafioso. It's certainly possible that a townie would be careless day one and back off day 2 (the town certainly seems lazy this game). But on day 2 it's a little much to ask not to be lynched because you say you're just a townie who seems suspicious.Further more none the accusations point towads mafia behavior. At best I'm guilty of poor logic.
I hope GH likes the pro-bowl...

I've decided to just double this session's length. That means it'll end at 13:00 EST tomorrow. Maybe that way we'll get some stragglers coming in once the weekend's over.

Re: The Godfather, Part 3 (IN PLAY)
Im going to Vote Jolt for 2 reasons, one his low postcount in the game, two based on tincow's reasoning of the english as a second langauge or badly spoken first langauge...
In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!
Re: The Godfather, Part 3 (IN PLAY)
In that case, I got more then enough time to defend my self don't I? (I am in Japan now. So Im GST +9 or something)
Vote:Beefy
I don't think Sasaki is guilty either so just to save him.
I am more then willing to defend my self. But I don't know where to start. Could you give me couple of questions I can answer?
Re: The Godfather, Part 3 (IN PLAY)
FoS: LittleGrizzly
Vote: LittleGrizzly
1st reason: I am in exam season plus I don't have internet where I study. How do you want me to post?
2nd reason: ....What? I'm proud of writing and speaking better English than many American counter-parts.(No offense intended, while I have been offended.)a second langauge or badly spoken first langauge...
My reasons for voting LittleGrizzly is that it is the second time he votes for me without any plausible reason whatsoever or anything like it. Last time that happened to me (Ephesus), one of my bandwagons was scummy.
BLARGH!
Re: The Godfather, Part 3 (IN PLAY)
I don't think it is Sasaki(always a good Mafia player, townie or not).......or Beefy(Selfless townie).....and after that whole, "lurker victory" in the last game I played....I feel I should follow Sasaki's lead...Vote:Lord Winterunvote:Beefy

If I've started posting in response, then isn't the goal of the vote taken care of?

Re: The Godfather, Part 3 (IN PLAY)
Only because I put pressure on you...
Re: The Godfather, Part 3 (IN PLAY)
Sasski was the one who prompted that before. You have a whole feild of lurkers to chose from so why me?
