Oh btw, I think it's ironic that pops hates cops. And seriously, what's up with quotes right now? And pops, please give us reason! I guessed the same as insomniac but would love to hear from the source. You have a lot more experience than most of us so I want to know what is going on in your head with your voting.

*Ahem* Wow, good job C.F. That was worth some chuckles. +1. Still not sure how you managed that. No more quoting you! ;)

His /quote tag was broken so it never left the quote, thusly whenever you quote is quote there is an unfinished quote tag

Pops, I recommend not playing Mafiascum style on F.DS. What may work among a bunch of experts with a bunch of conventions and established behavior may not work here.

Oh let me have some fun.  It's my favorite retort.

Insomniac is not suspicious because he expressed suspicion, it's the lack thereof.  He mentioned the unlikelihood that his target was scum.  That unlikelihood is already implied, and he wasn't prompted by anything like "to what extent do you feel SFS is likely scum", someone just asked to follow his thought process.  He over reacted and tried to shirk responsibility for his vote.

I'm not always good at explaining what I mean, but that is what I find somewhat scummy.  But not as scummy as scums that are scummier, but less scummy than townies that are not scummy by comparison. /hinterlands

Voting without reasoning is not mafiascum style mafia.  It's troll style mafia, and after I amused myself with reactions (and gained information from guesses at my motivation) I was going to explain whether asked or not.

IMO troll style mafia is 100000X better in IRL games.

...That being said, you're on my turf.

I feel like the game is running away from me...what does this mean? I KNOW you must have something in mind. I'll get nothing from what? Why would I like that? I guess I echo C_F but I feel like this is not so much meant to be antagonistic as cryptic? Maybe?

I don't suppose asking for you to explain again nicely is going to get a straighter answer? :)

Pre-post edit: I guess you explained so this is now irrelevant. Still gonna post it. Is your vote serious or are you just trying to counter his prodding with more prodding? I would like to hear from SFS too but I'm not gonna vote now.

But the same can be said of your vote for him. But I guess I've been trolled anyway, so... /beingtrolled

I have a suspicion that with 8 votes required, 21 real life days to go, and most of the active posters here being on their 2nd, 3rd or 4th games, that there's just alot of goofing off before its late enough that we can stop working without looking like slackers.

Pops' "get nothing and like it" actually made me lol.  I'm not reading too much into anything that happens here yet.  Reading into day 1 shenanigans almost got TINAS lynched, did get theory lynched, and had the entire spectating universe think that O was also Mafia.

Insomniac - Your timing is impeccable. Not lurking, just getting caught up.  Played golf this morning and this is the first time I've been able to read since confirming my role last night.  6 new pages, wow. Someone expressed concern that this would be longer than MIII, I suspect it will be very long indeed with 15 of us.

Voltgloss - Thanks for moderating this, with all you have going on.

Axxle - Thanks for the link to the two articles.  I found the second article to be particularly important.

Couple of housekeeping things before I begin the substantive part of my post:
1) I am a newbie, having never played this game at all in any format.
2) I have created a temporary signature to define my abbreviations for people's names. If your name is not abbreviated in my signature, I will do my best to use it in its entirety.  I did this because someone in an earlier post used the salutation "@G", and there are 4 names in this game that start with "G".
3) I'm not going to read MI or MII (with the exception of checking the two starting posts, to verify the absence of the players in my first question below), and I will likely abandon my reading of MIII, which is currently in Night 1.
4) My gender is male, if it helps anyone avoid awkward choices of pronoun.
5) I am on EDT in the US, if that is useful info for anyone in evaluating posting patterns. (God, I'm such a data whore).

Now, on to substance:

@Theo, Gloob, Green:  You were not in MI or MII or MIII.  Have you played Forum Mafia before?  Have you played IRL?

After reading the second article that Axxle suggested, I am of the opinion that random voting on Day 1 is anti-town.  Day 1 is indeed a time for to be as non random as possible.  So, I'll be bold:

VOTE: O, because he will be voting randomly.

Pre-post addendum:  OMG, while I'm wrestling with this, another full page?  I started this literally one minute after #211.

Welcome to Trolls! Your role is legitimate poster! Unfortunately for you, the trolls like to eat legitimate posters for breakfast, so in order to stay alive, you're going to have to troll the trolls into thinking you're a troll. But watchout, because there might be other legitimate  posters out there trying to troll you! You win if you can troll enough trolls into eating trolls, such that all trolls are dead and vanquished!

Sweet, the forum's back to normal now.
Surely the Insomniac's SFS vote is of the same type that is there to draw people out of the woodwork (hey, that works as a turn of phrase) and was even discussed to that purpose? And I don't think simply not posting can be taken as that much of a sign of being town, simply on the odds being fairly low of the number of people who haven't said anything yet all being innocent.
Edit for catchup posts: well, it looks like that situation has resolved itself anyway. So in the name of trying to get something to happen, Vote: Glooble.

@SFS: I have played forum mafia, but not for a long time, and I played with a group of real life friends (on a shared interest forum) so everything was rather more silly and injokey. So this is the first time I've really been trying to deeply analyse what people are saying and meaning. That said I have read the first two games on here.
