Oh, by the way I'm a friendly neighbor and targeted e, so I should be an IC as soon as he gets in here (unless he's scum and wants to out himself).

What's friendly neighbor?

It's just the mafiascum definition.

vote: RR

I won't be suckered into being stupid again...

Well, I don't really see how that's not exactly what's happening here.

Also I missed the part where RR was town?  I thought he claimed survivor?

Maybe the cop insanity manifested in the form of his own PM giving him the wrong alignment!

I was just completely blown away by Exhibit A. Be it known that I'm a huge fan of films with imaginative visuals, incredible "only in fiction" plot developments and a good amount of ambiguity and room for different interpretations, and Exhibit A, being a found footage family drama film, is exactly the kind of movie that I'm not so inclined to be a huge fan of. Despite this, I super loved it.

I would recommend it to everyone even if you're (like me) not a fan of the genre and style because it's just so good, but not without a word of caution: it is unbelievably disturbing and painful to watch at times.

Your whole premise is a theory You made on how we would act as partners? Despite there being no actual evidence of how we would act...

Well good job. You created a premise and then found proof to back it up in your mind. Too bad it isn't grounded in reality, just in your head...

As expected of the "masons".

i think that silverspawn has laid out his whatever quite nicely with respect to star wars, regardless of my stance on the movies

i think the only time you can find a good classical song is when you find a kinda dumb mozart compilation thing on spotify whilst looking for a song that you had to analyse in high school music theory

We never had to analyze songs in music theory in HS. We did that in music listening instead.

Or you could say that Windows 8 is better than Windows 7.

How is Windows 8.1 not better than Windows 7? It allows for more customization and the technical implementation of how it handles audio is much more sensible.

I can't tell if you're trolling to mess with me, or if you actually believe that.  Next you'll say that the New World Symphony was pablum for the masses

In particular, the Scherzo/Trio second movement of Beethoven 9 is astonishingly good. 

Beethoven was groundbreaking at the time and it's great that he more or less came up with some concepts that inspired later composers to use them to a much better effect, but he himself just wasn't really very good. I think the New World Symphony is pretty good, but it doesn't leave as big of an impact as many other works do and honestly I've forgotten the vast majority of what happens in it.

Okay, someone beside me must have seen Shutter Island. I thought that movie was really well known. Awaclus? eH?

I usually watch exclusively animation unless a live action movie has been specifically recommended to me or fans of a certain movie/genre/director/etc that I happen to like. Which hasn't been the case for Shutter Island.

Yeah, well, RR can't be scum if the masons are scum. And the masons are scum.

I like Beethoven's 9th Symphony a lot. Tied for my favorite classical piece with the 4 seasons from Vivaldi.

Really? I mean, Vivaldi's 4 seasons is good, but Beethoven's 9th symphony is pretty much on-par with modern supermainstream pop music.

I had no idea you thought so highly of mainstream pop.

Well, I do. Where "so" = "not very".

One thing to note is that RR could have hammered Awaclus the entire time.

Why would he do that if he doesn't think I'm scum (like he shouldn't)?

The mason thing is not probabilistic. In the scum!mason narrative, lynching masons wins 100% if you do it tomorrow! LYNCH EVERYONE WHO REFUSES TO UNDERSTAND THAT!

You can't compare lynching today and lynching tomorrow. You have to compare lynching today and not lynching today. The former results in 100% win, the latter results in 5p LyLo with no ICs. LYNCH EVERYONE WHO REFUSES TO UNDERSTAND THAT!

So now we can do theory talk about what type of Strongman scum has, right?

And if/when we hit scum, we can determine whether or not I'm actually the UB, right?

Shouldn't you already know whether or not you're actually the UB?

But even in art, it's tricky to go against the consensus.  If you try to tell me that you think Beethoven's 1st Symphony is superior to his 9th, or that the Pieta is artistically inferior to the death masks of the Egyptians, that's going to be a really, really hard sell.

Well, it's not exactly a major achievement to be superior to Beethoven's 9th symphony.

I will admit there wasn't a lot. But chairs was on the ADK wagon. I think that counts for something.

Well, just being on a wagon isn't super hard. He didn't push for the lynch or anything. It does count for something, but you can't ignore all the reasons to think that the masons are scum just because he was on wagon.

Well, it doesn't sound a whole lot like how a partner gets on a wagon.

What does a partner getting on a wagon sound like?

I was doing some thinking about this game: what happens if Axxel gets modkilled?

Do we have a failsafe or are we in trouble?

We can afford up to 2 town deaths before we need to lynch scum. Axxle getting modkilled would be super bad for town, but winnable as long as we no lynch today and then lynch correctly.

PPE: Yeah, I think that UB claiming is good. It would make things a lot easier at this point.

Look. If you are town, I can't guarantee that I will automatically push to lynch the masons. I can't guarantee that and I think given what you have stated on not wanting to tell mafia what your plan is going into night you will understand that.

But if you are town I can guarantee that I will consider ss/chairs strongly. I mean, I think I have already considered them strongly, but will certainly reassess. I honestly don't know what i will do, but I will think critically about it.

And if you are town you shouldn't be fine with being lynched if ss flips town (I wouldn't be). I think you are just saying that...

I mean, if ss does flip town, then of course I'm going to fight my lynch tomorrow, no matter how inevitable it might be. I'm just saying that I'm making the argument that a mason flipping town makes for better POE tomorrow just in an attempt to consider your perspective; from my perspective, that's not so great because it would probably implicate me given how hard I've pushed the ss lynch and then it would mean that we lose the game. I'm just already willing to take the risk that silverspawn flips town, followed by me getting mislynched as well, because I don't really see that being a very likely situation.

Heresy! HERESY! (The prequels are awful though)

In other words, you agree that, on average, it is a pretty mediocre series?

But chairs has an interaction with ADK that did happen. And by virtue of the claim that is tried to ss (who frankly didn't have an interaction). So thereby you are the sole player without a townier interaction... perhaps to no fault of your own regardless of alignment. But again, your lack of interaciton doesn't erase the other players'. I think it would be reckless to ignore those interactions with confirmed scum compared to a hypothetical (that I admit has some credibility in regard to ss/chairs). Thus I think we should lynch you first.

Lynching me first would be fine, but I don't think f.ds has a very good record of actually listening to what dead townies had to say. Given the resistance to lynch silver or chairs today, I don't think that it's really going to help the situation a lot if the biggest supporter for their lynch is dead. However, if the masons are somehow town, then their flip is actually quite beneficial for the POE tomorrow.

I'm personally pretty much willing to bet the game on the masons being scum because otherwise this game would rank extremely uncomfortably high on the list of the most nonsensical things I have ever experienced, so I'm totally fine with it even if that means you lynch me tomorrow if silverspawn flips town today. Because I super don't think it's going to happen.

That is hypothetical, contingent upon an if/then statement. I prefer to rely on what actually happened as opposed to what could have happened. Surely you can see why one is preferable over the other.

By voting me, you are relying on what could have happened (i.e. that it is possible that I wouldn't have had towny interactions with ADK if I had not been asleep). Instead you could rely on how silverspawn (and chairs by extension) being a mason doesn't make any sense whatsoever, because that is something that actually did happen.

I get that. But your lack of interaction doesn't cancel out their interactions. It isn't that your actions are super scummy. It is that their actions were much more townie (same goes for chairs on the masons side). So... yeah... through no fault of your own you are the one that doesn't have townie interactions with confirmed scum. But those things happened with the other players while you were asleep. But just cause you were asleep doesn't mean they didn't happen...

Yeah, but had I been awake, scum!me would certainly have had them too.
