Mafia 103...the play

I don't have a whole lot of time today between yard work and going out later, so I'll try to be concise about where I stand at the moment.

Neph: this is an interesting situation. What it comes down to for me is that it feels more like a newb put on the hot seat and going to far to defend himself. We've seen this time and time again with new players. I'm not discounting the fact that he could be scum, but I'm not feeling it... yet. I'm also a little taken aback by how many people piled on the questioning.

RB: I definitely still suspect RB, but I don't have enough to place a vote at this point.

Labby: I may have misspoke when I used WIFOM. What I was trying to get at is that she stopped in to pose a question that we really cannot know the answer to. Neph says he forgot and checked his email at just the right time, many don't believe that. My point is that it is not like Labby to throw out a question like that without giving an opinion of her own. Come to think of it, I haven't seen any new information added by Ms. Rat so far. A couple questions, a couple responses to questions... no real content whatsoever. I've seen Labby play when she was busy before, and she's always been about kicking bushes and trying to help... when she's innocent. I haven't seen a bit of that so far.

Pappy: I don't know what to think about Pappy. Then again I never do. I need to see more to make a decision.

Dawg: No real read yet.

AAF: still think it's funny how he pushed so hard at Neph. Then as others have pointed out backtracked pretty quickly. It definitely doesn't look good for him, but this happens a lot with the dude.

UN: posted largely crap so far. It's kind of funny to me how he questions Neph and AAF, then ends up voting RB.

I've got to think some more before I'm ready to vote, but it will likely come down to either Labby, AAF, or UN at the moment. I'm leaning toward Labby, but I'd hate to lose her if she is innocent. Hopefully something will happen to solidify my feelings one way or the other.
 
I vote to lynch Neph. Very interesting turning and dodging going on.

I expect to be back way before ten but I have a party to go to and you never know what will happen.

I'm wondering why you happened to choose me? I know I'm a little over zealous in my responses but I think it's even more shady to have been grilled that hard based on an observation that someone thought it might have been a tactic that I hadn't posted and came in to vote at the last minute. I mean I'd have to have an answer to everything someone asked so I'm wondering why my answers were turned into turning and dodging instead of just explaining?
 
No you wouldn't...lol



I was thinking of voting for Neph but AAF does have me questioning that decision. The jump on to Neph and then the second guessing when questioned really has me thinking about AAF...again. My vote will most likely go to one of these two.
i dont remember being questioned when i posted that.
 
Does this help?

hmm dawg thanks for pointing that out. having been a newb as scum at one point i know i always checked to see if i was saying the right things. this plus him coming in for a quick vote screams scum to me. i vote to lynch neph.

that doesnt prove anything. you could still have copied and pasted it from the scum den.

Yeah I guess you're right but just knowing you can do it from within the forum itself still makes it probable I didn't. Plus I didn't even know the mafia could communicate. It only says the doc and investigator can in the rules and I assumed it was like the last game where no one knew anything about the people around them (except the guards knowing who the king was) or being able to communicate for that matter.

last minute votes are a big thing in mafia.

maybe the guys in the scum den are telling him how good lab is at putting people in the spot light.

Since no one told me I couldn't mention previos games yet I'll be more specific. She did almost the exact same thing to me in the last game and it worked like a charm.

You seem to be real focused on this. I feel like you really want to have lab rats back... Is RBI in the scum den with you and Labby too?

Reasons for last minute votes are a big thing. Usually you should have a good reason. Bad reasons look scummy.

how does it look like i know who she is? all i said was thatlast minute votes are a big thing in mafia. usually atleast one person will comment on it.

At this point, I've gotten caught up.

I still don't know what to think of RB. But I never am. It very well could have been clever day 1 chatter, but it still feels like more than that. Really nothing more than a gut feel here so far.
AAF seems to be pushing pretty hard at Neph.
I noticed that Labby kind of "floated" the idea about Neph stopping in late to drop a vote. It doesn't seem like her to leave a drive by idea without any other thoughts at all. and I don't believe for a second she was sorry to lose FF.
Pappy seems pretty low key so far.

Nothing is nearly enough to vote on for now.

AAF do you really feel that strongly about Neph? It is their second game. I think most of us have had to do a drive by vote once in a while.

I actually find Ratty more interesting. She does not usually just throw a jab, we normally get a 12 part plan from her.

As far as the athlete goes, I would say bicycling or boxing.

im starting to feel less sure of him. bc of of his explanations. im definently willing to switch to someone else if something comes up.

What about his explanations makes you less sure of voting him?

the copy paste thing. it still doesnt clear him bc that could be just an explenation he knew would get people off of him. hes definently still my biggest suspect.

i wouldnt call that extreme backtracking. i said less sure not im totaly not sure about him anymore.

cool that you like tennis. i actually play on my high school team.

You said that Neph's late vote "screams scum" but your reason for not being as sure is because he explained away his copy/paste post issue. It seems to me that regardless of whether or not Neph did get that post from the scum den that you should be pretty sure that he is scum because of his late vote.

Up until post #165 you were still grilling Neph and then a couple people point out how hard you are pressing for Neph and you take a noticeable step back. Pretty extreme IMO given the circumstances.

i dont think i was "drilling" him. i dont drill. i push maybe but i dont drill.

You're starting to get into semantics here...either way, the backtracking was noticeable.
