Is that a James sighting? also it's a mini, so never more than 13

Also Alex, presence of a jailer doesn't necessarily have to be limited to deliverable kp because jailer is really a combination of a town roleblocker and a medic. Remember that discussion I had with you when I coached you in NSM14 and rsoultin threw a possible jailer in the setup? If you don't, check your old coaching QT. Here it can block the rolecop and the godfather but it's more effectively a medic in this setup because kp is factional. There are no coaches allowed here but I think you are ready for such a game. | ||

A few thoughts on my end before I head to bed - Nulls on Rels/Damdred regarding setup discussion/speculation as I feel those are types of posts that can be made as either alignment (and such Rels' scumreads on Do and Damdred could also fall under the same category) by players who know general gameplay well enough. Trfel's comments on LS I have a mixed reaction on. I don't like the following phrasing and here's why: Second, why would does this make me mafia in any way? Like, why does the fact that LightningStrike posted that he wouldn't be here at the start of the game have any bearing on my alignment? When I read this, I read it as trying to absolve responsibility from self regardless of actual intention (baiting in this case) - it's not what LS posted that is the problem, it's what you (Trfel) did about it. That reaction makes me think whether you are trying to cover something up. Moosy is something I am going to need more time reading given his general playstyle. No read on him so far obviously. disformation hasn't made any reads yets with the Trfel/Damdred interaction going on, and I think that might have been about when he left the thread. Answered Trfel's question, but from recalling the last student game, he did take more stances in that game. So far probable scumleans on Trfel/disformation. Fidei was someone who falls off hard as mafia, first post based on his SOTW 2 performance (mafia) is going to weigh in at NAI. The ONLY thing that jumps out at me from Fidei's post is why he commented on Rels being towny but Damdred not being so even though both talked about the setup, and Damdred seems to make more of a point in trying to get town to coalesence. Moving to Palmar/Shining... | ||

If you're town you should be considering, and possibly favoring, the option that he's just a townie with a wrong scumlean. Nothing he said was false. He literally took true information and made a lean on it. That's the most null thing you can do in mafia.

There are actual things going on in the thread but he's just trying to pick up off of Fidei's soft pushing on me to get me lynched. Out of Fidei and Palmar, Palmar is the worst looking one. I hadn't even read Fidei's post, I just came into the game, read the first page, then posted "Shining is 100% scum", turns out I mostly agree with Fidei, so free townread in the process! His expectations are unreal of me if he is town. He said I went quiet and yet here I am so I'm interested if his lean now goes away or if it becomes a hard scumread because I scumread him. Like there were actual things happening, like Damdred's big post directing blues, Rels finding DYH and Damdred suspicious, but his scumlean comes off on the one person who he probably expected to afk because it's Monday/Tuesday and who didn't say much of anything. And in the same post, he goes ahead and leaves the thread when he enters it. Your hard defense of Fidei so early is noted, though. Well, you went quiet and then suddenly popped out when two people called you scum... Plus your are going quite the OMGUS + hard defense mode. Def. not a fan so far, kinda remember better post from you last game. @Damdred: So you are saying that the post is constructed since you took quite some time writing it up, but started after the game started? And ninjaed. Any thoughts on the actual exchange? | ||

Agreed with Palmar, that doesn't make Fidei mafia. I just took it as him reacting to what he saw (either alignment) and I would probably draw it as more suspicious if he tried to push you as a lurker, say 24h from now. As for Shining's scum team post, I took that as a joke, so I'm also not sure what Palmar is saying "both as a joke and as serious" and then leading into "there's no way he can believe what he's saying" - because when I read that phrasing it is basically saying "he's serious and mafia because what he's saying isn't believable" but how do you navigate that when he's intending that as a joke? Am I misunderstanding that one? Shining, let's say Palmar just disappears. What are your reads on other people? | ||

Well now you have the explanation so I'm 100% town right? No more like 70% and just really bad and cocky. I can understand where your scumread on me comes from, especially since I OMGUSd you but your defense of Fidei to me looks really suspect when you only share one scumlean on D1 and you shouldn't have any idea what his alignment is if you're town. I'm not fucking defending Fidei you moron, I'm just calling his post fine. In a normal game mafia players make hundreds of "fine" posts. No one is dumb enough to give himself away with every post. What I am doing is questioning your logic in suspecting Fidei, and trying to see if you could possibly believe what you're saying. So far I don't really see it. I've read Fidei's post 5 times now and I just don't understand how saying true shit about you makes him mafia. It's such a leap. Alright, Palmar, ignore my last comment about you - this post probably ninjaed mine, and clears it up. | ||

And in his initial post with these suspicious, he specifically stated that these suspicions of me are only valid because of LightningStrike's pre-game excuse. LightningStrike's pre-game excuse has no implication on my alignment whatsoever. Damdred is basically saying that because my suspicion of LightningStrike was invalid, I was suspicious. However, why would I as mafia make a post about a player's inactivity when that player said, before the game, that they wouldn't be around at the start of the game? There is zero reason for mafia to do this. The only thing that LightningStrike's pre-game excuse says about my play is that my reason to be suspicious of LightningStrike was invalid. First, it was invalid without the pre-game excuse as well. And second, my argument being invalid doesn't have any relevance on my alignment. As does reading posts in the thread that were made before the game started. Damdred failed to address the main question that I asked, which was why LightningStrike's pre-game excuse affects my alignment. His suspicion of me made zero sense, and Damdred is a very sensible player as town. Combine this with his entrance post, completely ignoring everyone else in the thread and saying that his play would follow his (rough) scum meta of fewer posts more focused on analysis. Backtracking to this post. No issues with the first part, but I'm not sure why he thinks it's unreasonable as town when you are clearly focused on one person that much that of course you will miss the flying conversation in the thread. Especially more suspicious to me if this isn't his scum meta, and honestly given my poor track record of sniping mafia Damdred, I'm not sure what/how to really measure this. It looks like a reach for me. | ||

At #219, I disagree with her read on the Palmar / Shining interaction. There is something very strange about Shining's progression, and HTS just skates past it. She then at #224, #237 and #246 goes forward and then back on on Trfel. She asks Shining about people other than Palmar, but noticeably doesn't ask Palmar about people other than Shining. I know that HTS is very much a fan of Palmar's scum play. I know that she has previously had him as a coach and that she generally speaks highly of him as a player. It is strange to me that she almost specifically avoids interacting with him, or making any comments about him. Honestly, if she can't read him, it seems like the rest of us don't have a chance. None of the above is a guaranteed scum-tell. But I find it somewhat suspicious. Town HTS nitpicks as well, but I just always get the sense that she is going somewhere with her thoughts. That seems lacking to me. A bit correction/clarification here. I think highly of geript's scum play, it is he who I've had as a coach. Not Palmar. I had geript/sicklucker as mafia coaches. That said, Palmar is a good player as both alignments. A key thing I learnt about Palmar is that you can't meta him easily because he has played many different ways as both alignments. I learnt that the hard way when we mislynched him in Hammertime and in the few ways I've seen him play from the hosting world (Down Under 3) I didn't find him terribly easy to read as town. The manner in which Palmar hit up Shining is, yes, out of the blue but also not outside the realm of town Palmar which is why I waited to see if/how when he broke down the case. It was also not unreasonable for Shining in that regard to say he fails to comment on anything but him. On my way home early, the lightheadedness is real. And thanks James. I'll vent on Steam about RL if I get the chance. | ||

On DYH, definitely odd how looking at timestamps, that progression. I looked at his filter quickly and he responds on things related to Palmar/Shining but didn't reconsider Trfel or at least that reaction in conjunction with something else, since I believe Trfel was up late in skimming. Unless there was reason not to, there was a lack of followup there. On December 01 2015 11:40 kushm4sta wrote: Shining looking like a decent d1 lynch I guess. Reasoning is that if Palmer called me 100 percent scum I'd be like lol. Instead he doth protest too much, Not sure I like this reaction from kushmasta either. He makes an assumption that Shining would or should react the same way he does. It is why I asked Shining what his other reads were, and they looked reasonable at first glance last night. Also begs the question why he's still voting Rels or why he feels Rels initial push was worse than Shining's. I'm lying down for a few hours, any more questions, fire away. | ||

There is the mafia characteristic for what he stated on Palmar, I can't figure out why he'd say him being serious is town (assuming I have context correct) when it's pretty much apparent unless he's trying to say Palmar is a jokey person as mafia and is otherwise here, but that's not how I'm reading this. There also is me wondering why he didn't try and contrast his read on Fidei versus Shining's and how he got there. "Going to bed" (I'm taking this as "lack of activity") wasn't IMO the proper metric to gauge that read, but I want to give LS a chance on fleshing out those reads. | ||

Knowing the SOTW 2 play, it's not outside of the realm of town LS to throw his thoughts out like this but I still find it strange there is no read on Shining or at least him trying to isolate Shining's reaction from the fear read. I don't necessarily think it's mafia indicative yet as I recall other people's fear reads on say ritoky, Kita, etc a lot of people just may not bother reading people at all. The potential concern arises though when things happen after the fact and he won't or doesn't consider it. Right now I'm going to say null/scumlean with a series of questions. There is the mafia characteristic for what he stated on Palmar, I can't figure out why he'd say him being serious is town (assuming I have context correct) when it's pretty much apparent unless he's trying to say Palmar is a jokey person as mafia and is otherwise here, but that's not how I'm reading this. There also is me wondering why he didn't try and contrast his read on Fidei versus Shining's and how he got there. "Going to bed" (I'm taking this as "lack of activity") wasn't IMO the proper metric to gauge that read, but I want to give LS a chance on fleshing out those reads. | ||

Anyways. Hopefully that's somewhat clear Rels. Also I realise a mistake - that should be Witchcraft 3, not Warcraft 3. I really need to lie down. | ||

Don't put too much stock in what I say, because I don't have any sort of handle on this game so far. I am looking forward to playing in a few days after the herd has been thinned. My vote stays on Rels for now. Probably he isn't scum but maybe he is and on my phone it takes a lot of effort to change my vote.

LS, I'm not referring to meta. Let's make sure I'm not misunderstanding you here. I'm not talking about Palmar's tone in general. I'm talking about his case. If you read the context differently, then tell me how you interpreted that. You are saying that he's town because his tone is serious and from 349 it's based on meta. Okay fine, but regardless of meta, why would Palmar's case NOT be serious? What I'm trying to say here is that you are townreading him for a poor reason. | ||

Just got to college campus and took care of stuff and about Palmar: It's meta read that I have on him because he did similar stuff to me in Metal Mini which you observed and I do find Shining town for now although he did show huge emotions as scum last game but I giving him a benefit of a doubt. Mainly Shining's content seems better ths game than his last game when he was scum vs me. Alright, so in spite of your meta read on Shining and your fear read from earlier, you still think his content is better this game rather than last. What game was this, and how long ago and how are you so sure that his scum game hasn't improved given what you've said with the emotions? | ||

Right now, I need to flesh out Trfel a little more, same for disformation and LS. The lynch list right now is kush/DYH, Onegu is straight policy, but there's got to be an active mafia somewhere. Palmar is probably town but this is a gut feel based on how he proceeded with the case. | ||

"I don't think you are mafia for this" means that Half the Sky is not scum reading you for one specific thing in your filter. As in, she could be scum reading you for the entire rest of your filter. And that's not a townread on that one thing either. Does anyone know if LightningStrike is generally this self-conscious as town with regards to other people's townreads on him? To make a big jump like this and try to assume everything is a townread? Because this is making me doubt my earlier town lean on him. The above is correct. This also partially helps answer Trfel's question to me - LS was not in my lynch list (and relative to the rest of the thread) because D1, similar to SOTW, if there's something that is not clicking I have to flesh his reads out. He was a scumlean based on the stuff he said, I hashed out to make sure I was understanding LS, and it was back to null pending the interactions with other people in the thread. There was a part where he mentioned Trfel casing Damdred (and I still have to go back and look at that, Christ) which would give some indication as to Trfel/Damdred/LS alignments to some extent. Obviously need to catch up on the rest of his filter. Not lynching him until I read and feel otherwise. Trfel, I mentioned a post where I scumleaned you initially for the comment you made on LS. I made an explanation as to why, it was something along the lines of tone and not wanting to take responsibility. There was something else that you mentioned, you answered it, but if you answered that first concern, show me the post where you did. There's a very good chance I missed it. Again, I failed to analyse you v Damdred. DYH over kush - It was part read on Trfel and part lack of followup on Trfel at that time when he commented on Shining/Palmar, which I felt could have come from either alignment. Also I wanted to press him for more reads, and I recall I did that somewhere. Obviously need to check his filter again and see what he's done since. I know I did not scumread him on activity especially since it's my first game with him and I don't know offhand if he's a lurky player. In any instance, I put both in a lynch list and I gave my reasons for not liking kush. Also I think it was you Trfel, whoever it was said that scum doesn't know the setup. This is not true. Look at the day one post. There is a list of 4 setups so that is part of where my statement came from. Additional comments/followups from what I saw from skimming the thread: Rels - posting game details has to be done regardless of whatever else games I'm playing. It either needed to be done when signups went up or very soon after. I was queued in, it had to get done. Take that as you will. Disformation - looking at your response to my last question right now, also did you have a question for me? You said a few times you were looking through my filter. Trfel - did you answer my questions regarding distinguishing activity between DYH and kush? (post 391, again if I missed it point it out) If you looked into Rels based on your last response to me, what did you think of him? (same deal if I missed it) Should hopefully be able to move forward after this. Let me see who is up for lynch and weigh in... | ||

Only experience was Carol, where he did nothing, in my newbie which was over a year ago, he was more active, but in any case, not really a good metric to read him. My take on it, was with a possible vig in the setup, that, why he'd just say something like that. Town generally will spout whatever so I want to think that's what he's doing here, but that one sentence, when someone phrases something like that, it gives me pause. It might seem like "too scummy to be scum" but even when I go back to his explanation that it is an over defence stance, the standard thing to do at least to check Shining against Rels and evaluate whether he lynches Shining over Rels. Even if he's too lazy to follow up on Shining or was just unable, he's clearly throwing his vote away atm seeing as there isn't a train on Rels atm nor is he actually pushing him. Even if he doesn't want to do the latter, the explanation for voting Shining as it stands makes more sense than what I'm seeing for Rels at least based on what he's posted. I mean if he wasn't lazy enough to post those two paragraphs, surely he's not lazy enough to change his vote? At Trfel - I didn't say "student mafia IV" but the vein is the same. And I know LS was also in that game too and he was mafia that game. It was LS and two inactives. I just remember that game partially because it was my first and also, for all the wrong reasons. (I should have been modkilled that game.) | ||

(cries in a corner) To answer your questions:
Half the Sky, MoosyDoosy is mafia and needs to be lynched. Trust me. Alright, fair enough on the first two. So you're back to null then pending a full catch up. Third one we might have to agree to disagree. I read the OP again. I see what you're saying but I've played enough BH games and cohosted with him enough that he does tell the scum team what roles they are or have, and at least they can narrow it down a little. Just saying. Moving on. | ||

Please, hear me out, but I DO NOT WANT TO START A MECHANICS DISCUSSION.Yo. If you're boxer you fucking shut up. There is two possible mafia setups: one with two possible town setups with one boxer each so it doesn't matter. And one when we have either boxer + vet, or cop + vig. In that last case, mafia wants to roleblock their kill target in the vet setup, or roleblock someone else on the cop + vig setup. Boxer claiming would make them know what is the thing to do. Tldr if you're boxer you shut up unless you're getting lynched. Tldr 2 the two people pushing for boxer to claim are suspicious. Damdred and doyouhas First, I will assume that the argument that Rels presents about the BoxeR claiming is 100% correct. No matter what. No questions asked. Just for the purpose of this argument. With this assumption, and two people telling the BoxeR to claim, it's important for this argument to be made as quickly as possible so that the BoxeR can see it and not claim. The thing is, Rels presents a really well-explained argument for this. It kind of feels too good to be true. He's already stopped to analyze the setups from a mafia perspective, and see what they know, and see what town knows. He's 100% sure that mafia doesn't know which setup the game uses, despite the standard Blazinghand newbie game using a similar four-option setup where the mafia team IS told the setup. Like, I know that Rels is good. But is he really this good? His first post of the game, 37 minutes after the day began.... It doesn't feel quite right. Okay. Let me try. So you assume that the good play for town/boxeR is to not claim. Two people say the opposite. So Rels rushes to the help of town and presents a good argument why boxeR should not claim. So a) he is town or b) he wants the town cred. He analyzes the setup, which is possible as either alignment. hmmm... the op doesn't say whether mafia knows the setup or not... and you are right he seems pretty convinced that mafia does not know the setup. This part is kinda strange indeed... The parts about it feels too good and is he this good confuse me a bit though. Like what do they add to this argument, besides making it look like a fear read a lot? =p maybe I should go and read rels more in depth... The key word is that Rels is rushing to the aid of town. Rushing, because speed is important. And his post is extremely knowledgeable, and is a really comprehensive explanation. I find it hard to believe that he got confirmation that scum didn't know the setup in time to make this post, for example. If Rels was around earlier, he should have been posting. Town wouldn't avoid posting like that. Basically, Rels took extra time to make sure his argument was completely explained and correct, when town wants to post as quickly as possible. This makes me wonder if the motivation behind the post is, instead of helping town, to make himself look better, which would mean that Rels is mafia. The argument falls apart if Rels is good enough to make this post as town without taking much extra time, which is what I was trying to get at. That seems really unlikely, but I can't completely rule it out. Not sure I like or agree with this post. I might be biased here because I've cohosted two games now with Rels, both of which are themed and both of which require him to know his mechanics in depth. I concluded this post alone was NAI because anyone skilled enough or knowledgeable enough about setup spec can speak to their opinions about what certain roles should and should not do. My opinion based on what I read in the OP/day post was that scum can narrow down the setup as they know their own roles so Rels' post is reasonable based on the fact that if the boxer claims, they can further narrow down the setup. The part about 100% sure on the setup is completely false, based on his saying "there are two possible setups....etc" no they don't know for sure but like I said before they can narrow it down based on how BH (and clearly you know from what you've posted?) assigns the roles in his games in the mafia QT, and that would appear to be Rels argument. I don't know where you are getting "took extra time" (I'm seeing a 10 minute gap between Damdred's and Rels response and from what I'm reading of the thread/their filters, for both players it is their first appearances in the thread, 23:27 and 23:37 respectively) or how you'd know he would have posted that otherwise unless I'm reading that sentence wrong. What I'm trying to say is it appears to me that you are reaching here especially since as Rels hadn't posted yet in the thread so I don't know how you can even assume that. It seems like a few assumptions "if he was around" etc. but even if you are making the argument that 10 minutes is too long for him to construct his post, that's still a poor assumption because when you look at his filter that 23:37 post is the first post he makes in the game. You don't know if he arrives at 23:35, sees that and just churns it out which makes the "completely explained and correct" part a reach on your end as well. | ||

The other thing I get nervous on with the number of votes with MoosyDoosy piling up, I do need to examine the motivations for people voting him. I'm not sure I understood Trfel's motivations on a first read for voting him as "guaranteed" scum - policy lynch sure, based on being useless/unreadable/self-meta, and to me that puts him in the same category as Onegu who is always a coin flip, but I need to do more filter diving before I collapse again. I did read Moosy's filter and if you are to take the guy completely seriously, you can argue there's lack of followup, or why is he focusing on Rels when Rels isn't the one being picked about. Trfel's arguments I saw so far were tone based? It just seemed out there - Trfel if I'm misunderstanding the "guaranteed scum" argument can you elaborate? Fidei makes me a little nervous as well. I realise his job makes it hard for him to play and be active and I see he had an excuse tonight but to be fair, when he's mafia, he really falls off, and I mean really falls off. Of course it was so blatantly obvious last time (SOTW 2) that if he's mafia again, I would wager enough he'd be a little smarter to at least delay the inevitable if not for his teammates. I'll look at his filter or at least try to and see if anything is off. Still digging around filters folks. Policy lynch would be my last resort. Revisiting DYH since my vote is currently on him. I fell far too behind. | ||

And that's not a townread on that one thing either. Does anyone know if LightningStrike is generally this self-conscious as town with regards to other people's townreads on him? To make a big jump like this and try to assume everything is a townread? Because this is making me doubt my earlier town lean on him. It's implied I thought O_o(At least how I read it and I hope she gets better soon honestly) Also for note you played a shit ton of games with me when I'm town and I surprised you kinda forgot how I play This is the question I want to ask folks - why is he null reading Trfel based on the bolded? | ||

LS can you comment more on why Trfel is null for you based on what you said or possibly his current gameplay now if he was someone you focused on? | ||

Idk why people having trouble with DYS? I see him more of a newbie player than a veteran player honestly so(shrugs). So nothing yet for a team.

I'm talking about his case. If you read the context differently, then tell me how you interpreted that. You are saying that he's town because his tone is serious and from 349 it's based on meta. Okay fine, but regardless of meta, why would Palmar's case NOT be serious? What I'm trying to say here is that you are townreading him for a poor reason. I didn't say it wasn't serious? Anyways the way he argued Shining like I said had a serious tone plus like said he did a very similar thing to me in Metal Mini when I was fighting him and felt frustrated with him. It took me a bit of arguing to get him to townread me in that game because I was still a newbie lol.... So it a little both but more towards personal experience with him. Argh, no. I am saying that you said his tone is serious. In any case, you want to say you are giving a personal read towards him. Alright, I still think this is a bad read because like I said before Palmar really can't be done off one read, but now that I've fleshed it out I don't think you are mafia for this.

I'm asking why he wouldn't reconsider his read on you from his world given the first quote. He called something of yours "weird" in spite of him moving you to null, you think he'd at least question his read on you or question you if something you did surprised him. The expectation he has in the second quote is that you should know how he plays when he's town and why that couldn't or didn't affect his previous consideration. Looking at his filter, he is struggling for reads but when you have been his main focus most of this game, is this unreasonable to consider? | ||

Every game I've ever played in people have pushed LS D1 and he has been town. That gives me pause. And we have Moosy, who has literally made no effort whatsoever in this game - he is basically trolling us. We simply cannot take him forward in this game and hope to win. He has had two days to do something constructive, or to show a change in tone. He has not. I actually don't agree with Trfel that MD's play makes him 100% Mafia or anything else. I think it's possible he's Mafia. It's possible he's not. But in the long run, I we cannot ever successfully read someone who apparent holds this game in contempt. Have you looked into the reasons as to why they are pushing LS? Do you think those reasons are town or mafia motivated? Or whether that affects your reads on the people voting him? (I think if I recall right you had Palmar and Damdred as nulls?) | ||

LS, what do you think of Trfel and what do you think of Damdred? Talk to us for cripe's sake if you are town, you have half an hour. Let me check Warcraft 3 since I am assuming that's the game that Shining is referring to? | ||

Except that one time he was scum. But he didn't react this way, either. Can't tell if it's an attempt to get that "genuine anger townread" that's been floating around games lately. I remember one game we played not too long ago where every time someone suspected him he accused them of being on crack. Yes he discredits them hard but the caps and cursing feels uncharacteristic. Unless I'm just not remembering correctly. But that somewhat recent game that I rolled scum in, he didn't go this ham. I'd have to disagree, he lost his head to the point in Himalayas that Fecalfeast and I warned and took post-game action on him. It is not unprecedented. | ||

I'm getting cold feet because LS usually fights his corner on somewhat sensible grounds. I've never seen a response like that before. Hmm. You were in Himalayas and so was he, surely you remember when he lost the plot? | ||

.....and this is why I stated he had 30 minutes to talk to us. Or whatever I said, it's more than enough time to discuss and run an alternate lynch. He does freak out at the slightest bit of pressure and he claims prematurely when he's blue, here he claimed VT though. | ||

Fuck it I'm going back to Witchcraft 3, I didn't see that game (scum LS) whether he was emotional. If he was emotional in even one scum game, then the meta can be considered broken IDK. | ||

The fact is, you didn't question her at all. (if you did, where is the post?) I mean even Trfel said he had whatever questions for her and he laid them out. I was waiting for HTS to show up again honestly but I guess this will have to do for her when she feels better. HTS if you see this and can respond: What was going on in your mind during EoD because I know it was chaotic esp for me because I really thought I was going to get lynched there? End of day? I tried to flesh your reads out. You were brought back to null, and I generally avoid policy lynches day 1 unless I've really found nothing. I think in all my TL games I have pushed a policy lynch once and I was accused of being scum for it (I forget which game) so I have avoided doing that ever since. I double checked your WC3 game to verify the emotional tell that people were using to read you town. Honestly I think you are most likely town at this point, esp given the 2259 comment. | ||

I have a million questions for you, but there is no time. Why did you decide that LightningStrike's Drams mafia filter was different from his filter this game? I didn't see this at all, neither did disformation. In the eight minutes between the deadline and you deciding that you didn't want to lynch LightningStrike, you didn't actually discuss the counterwagon options. What were you doing during this time? What? Drams? He wasn't mafia in Drams. I ran that game. The scumteam was Rels/Shining/SL. I know I'm not insane. The answer to your second question was going through the WC3 filter for LS. I switched to kush because I was scumreading him. I voted kush at the time because my other scumreads were DYH and him. | ||

Sums up his play perfectly, really. EoD honestly I was just hoping we had it right. And I was going to go right to bed after deadline because I was just so gone at that point. | ||
