that I was pushing a Scum Sultan narrative.

I wasn't seriously doing that.

The only thing I've been particularly serious on in terms of this game so far is my vote on Kirby.

This is a lot of votes on Kirby for something I'm not seeing

Sbell to be fair I agree with Han he litterally questioned why scum would do such a thing, meaning that the move seemed townie

Oh. I will apologize for calling you verbose, Kirby.
Because I liked that post more than the one you made now so...

He basically came in all mad beacuse no one entertained his Flavor Meta.. which he also litterally called a shit Post

I had to run out and was in the car when you made your clarifying post previous page.

I'm willing to go out on a limb here and accept we both misconstrued each others intent here.

Hmm

Lea are you scum

I was very disappointed when hilarious sarcastic Lea turned out to be scum Lea that one game

My dude, I was not being serious about calling y'all fake fans. Perhaps that came off as overly serious when it was the complete opposite intention.

Han, Lea - do either of you want to elaborate on your votes? What did you not like about my post?

Plum, are you Scum?

If so, you have to tell the truth.

I want to be clear that I didn't misconstrue you as actually pushing a "Scum Sultan" narrative. IF you were responding to me, it was misreading a post of mine that didn't have full context and detail, but rather than clarify, I chose to say "actually I'm not seriously suggesting it", but in a way that was sort of in jest, but I will also accept combative.

That being said, as I am complacent in this, I will accept my part in turning this combative when it didn't need to be.

Kirby is Scum tho

Man I love Lea so much she brings a whole new element to Mafia and makes it so much fun.

Kirby321 posted...

Man, I'm sad my shitpost about Paper Mario meta got dismissed as verbose (which it unabashedly was as part of the nonsensical joke). You all are fake fans! >.<

Anyway, is scum plum bold enough to cast down the first vote of the game? If I recall correctly, aggressive plum usually means town plum, so that's a good sign.

I can't say I'm really following the debate between Sbell and Han. Semantics on who is calling Sultan scum, if either party were doing so at all, feels more like town vs. town.

Of course, it's way too early to make any concrete conclusions, but nothing so far strikes out at me as inherently scummy.

Catch-up posts that proselytize to no one tend to be Scum.

Perhaps if we work together we might find ALL of the scum.

Han, do you think Lea would bus a teammate so early?

EDumey posted...

Peaf did a bad then ignored me calling him out.

And how does that make you feel?

Kirby321 posted...

I have always been unfamiliar with flavor. The only time I ever connected with flavor much was when cokes did dark tower Mafia, his writing was very good and it convinced me to read the entire series a couple years later.

I think Lea would follow me onto a teammate if she were Scum and me Town, but I don't have any reason to think she is Scum insofar.

Wait hold on
Sultan, just to be clear, I was not flavor meta-ing there (or hinting at my role flavor, for that matter). I wasn't being serious in the slightest with my initial post. Before the game started, I knew I wanted my opening shitpost to be about the infamous Danger Mario strategy just because I figured it'd be a fun little joke for peeps who have played the games and know about it.

is that actually a thing? Planning a page 1 shitpost?

Dumey your post last night was weak, and your post this morning is lame. Of course I'm going to ignore it, it obviously didn't stifle discussion because everyone else has been posting about plenty of other things.

##unvote
##vote: kirby

I think Sbell was more combative than Han, but neither of them were pushing what they were accusing each other of initially. (also Combative is a word that sounds wrong to me in general, but thats neither here nor there)
I also dont know if scumHan would continue his sbell crusades if Sbell is town here. I'd think Sbell would point that out rather quick (and he did)

Lea posted...

Yes, I am scum, but if it's any consolation I'm not going to be hilarious this game

Thats the worst of both worlds!

HanOfTheNekos posted...

That's fair. I have no argument against that, really. But do you expect me to pass comments on people who have barely posted? I don't feel like you, Sbell, or Plum are scum at this very moment, and y'all have been the centers of attention for this day thus far (more so you and Sbell than Plum).

We've been the center of attention for like 30m

Lea and Han had legit reasons to vote me. Sultan had... faulty reasons.

What's your excuse, Peaf?

HanOfTheNekos posted...

30 minutes is also around the time it took me to catch up with the 100 posts that have been made since my last post. So excuse me if my frame of reference ain't exactly the most accurate here >_>

Kirby then you catch up post makes less sense than if did before? What exactly were you trying to say? Or was it just a poorly placed joke?

I've got literally nothing to do for the next 4 hours. If you want, and Han is willing, we can fill up the rest of the topic with our combative stylings.

"You all are fake fans" also feels very Othering, which is a thing that Scum do.

Last I caught Plum as Scum, it was for that, which is why I'm leaning on him as Town atm this game - dove headfirst into the party instead of sitting on the outside, drinking to himself like "they don't know I'm scum"

Peace___Frog posted...

And how does that make you feel?

I think when we're so early Day 1 that people are complaining about lack of things to respond to, ignoring a post instead of defending what should be an easily defensible Page 1 vote is weird. Maybe you're just remembering the last game where we got into a short scuffle and wanted to avoid that happening again. As scum!?

I... really don't understand what's so cryptic about my post.

I made a dumb joke about the lack of reactions to my opening post.

I offered my thoughts on Plum, then offered my thoughts on the whole Han vs. Sbell thing.

Is giving soft reads on other players not a good thing...? It's obviously too early to say "this person is definitely town/scum"

Sultan, you're at the epicenter of Han and Sbell's whole thing. What do you make of their alignments?

Peace___Frog posted...

this is also bad justification. of course people found OTHER things to talk about. it's a mafia game. that doesn't mean you just ignore someone talking to you because other people have found another thread to pick up on.

You were just on a team with them both.

Okay I was looking for a bit more clarification.

And Han And Sbell I feel like they are both misguided a bit. If I had to say one was scum I'd lean Sbell but I dont think either are scummy at the moment.

IT WAS A JOKE
Perhaps a poor one that completely missed the mark

But come on, Han. That's flimsy logic. I get that you're citing a previous game where that logic worked, but I currently don't have the Plum Copy Ability equipped right now. We're different players.

It was half of a joke vote to help kick the game off, honestly. Hence the easy unvote.
In my mind, there was nothing to defend. I didn't care to elaborate because there was nothing to elaborate on.

However, it's getting to be quite COMBATIVE of you to focus only on me.

i'd lean your face.

For your sake i hope you never have to resort to that technique

I'm sorry Kirby, but there's not really much more for me to say atm.

Come on dumey, you were just on a scum team with the two biggest pieces of attention right now. Just like Death. You've got nothing to say on that, only here for a joke vote? Unlike death, who has said a word on them.

I don't like butting in on other people's threads when I don't have a read on it yet. I'm comfortable letting them take care of business and I can evaluate it after.

I do like finding my own thread and following it. So you may find it combative because I'm focusing on you. I would just call it scum hunting.

I didn't just call you out in that initial post. I also asked you a question to generate conversation, which you've also ignored. Maybe that's the part I'm more focused on, as making a joke to "kick the game off" and then ignoring the response to that vote seems very contradictory.

TheSultanOfSlam posted...

What?

I'm just giving you a "so's your face".

Anyone? Scrubs?

Why are you so intent on trying to shrug off this attention on you?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE OTHER PEOPLE ALREADY GETTING ATTENTION EARLY ON DAY 1 AND NOT ME.

Lol I thought that is what you were doing but just like most of the time in scrubs the context doesn't make sense

Yes and?
(and Sbell was already dead and didnt post as much anymore when I got recruited)

I don't like that you're avoiding Peaf's question to you. I thought you were getting on Peaf's case because he ignoring you, so this seems awfully hypocritical.

Peaf has a point. You just played a game where Sbell and Han were your scummates. Do you really have nothing to say on their little debate? Why are you tunneling on Peaf based on a very early Day 1 interaction and ignoring the rest of the game?
