AV.

This is, uh, an interesting strategy from naslund.is.king.

Petey is on pace for 96 points. BO is on pace for 50+ goals. Miller is starting to get back into shape and is a guaranteed PPG guy. Demko looks to be rounding into form after his surgery. Hughes is an assist machine and could be a PPG defenceman this year. Kuzmenko can hit 30 goals. Mikheyev is as advertised, solid defensively and is on pace for 20 goals. Luke Schenn is a rock on defence. Curtis Lazar is a legit 4th line energy guy who can move up to the 3rd line. Martin is a legit backup in the NHL and can play 30 games. The problem is outlined right here in the opening statement. This is everybody's very best and wishful versions of themselves (although, the point about Pettersson is true and Hughes not too far from it - probably 65-70 range if he's healthy). It's very easy for any team to be a legitimate one if all of the stars align in that way, but how often does it happen? I think the time to think wishfully has passed us. We've done that for the past 3 years and keep making foolish decisions as a result. It's time to start making decisions based on the facts in front of us. The standings, the state of the roster, the state of the prospect pool, the salary cap - all not good and need to be fixed.

Well, "town leader".

Yep. Aladeen basically confirming what I've been thinking about naslund.is.king. Went from town leader to just chilling and going with the flow, and this is AFTER the doctor and sheriff have been eliminated. I don't believe that's coincidental.

What's the vote count looking like?

I won't vote Aladeen or Blue Jay 22. Almost the same for Petey_BOI. I'd go Darth Melvin, naslund.is.king, and Sharpshooter. In that order.

Damn, almost forgot about this. Is it DarthMelvin or Sharpshooter for tonight?

I actually kind of agree with this. Where naslund.is.king had a pretty chaotic start and went after everybody, he's now been consistently around but less influential and he seems happy to let some of the more experienced/vocal players take over at this point. It's almost like he's coasting by ever since sheriff and doctor got killed. Sharpshooter has been pretty disengaged, and while not towny, he's not exactly playing like I would expect scum would (unless he's really planning to slank the whole way through).

Probably Petey_BOI. His early game efforts to analyze vote counts just seems like more work than necessary if he was scum.

J-23 is finished (got killed yesterday).

The man from Deadmonton knows too much about strong arm kills. One to monitor...

Vote DarthMelvin

f**k Uhh...it's gotta be Darth Melvin, right? Like, just constantly voting off the wagon and minimal gameplay? Or...maybe It is Petey_BOI?

Shit, forgot to unvote lol

Unvote, vote Petey_BOI

Decided to check in and, uhh, yeah. I definitely don't have any plans to vote elsewhere from Lewitelli. Didn't expect today to be as dead as it has been.

They shouldn't. You are one of the most iconic and best to do it on CDC mafia.

I'm more than fine to vote Lewitelli. Unvote, Vote Lewitelli

Do we have a vote count?

Yeah, I know. But naslund.is.king didn't claim sheriff on N2. He did it on N1, so I'm just wondering how you're linking the two. Are saying that the mafia strategy has been to claim roles to find the actual roles?

Not at all. I'm just wondering how claiming sheriff could be linked to trying find the doctor.

I'm not sure that makes a whole ton of sense...but I do like the thought-process that a mafia team could have went guns blazing to role-claim like madmen.

Are you suggesting that naslund.is.king could have fake-claimed sheriff as a means of trying to find the doctor?

And this is precisely my point. So, I save Porscha in R1....just to tunnel them/never waver on them in R2? In hindsight, my mistake in R1 was not asking for more people to jump onto Porscha in R1 rather than ejecting myself from the vote and trying to flip onto Snake Doctor.

My thought process in the moment was "I don't want a tie and I'm not entirely sure that Snake Doctor is mafia, not more so than what I believe of Porscha". That's why I unvoted. But, as the end of some rounds usually are in how it is chaotic, it dawned on me that somebody voting on Snake Doctor may have also unvoted, which is why I scurried back to vote Snake Doctor, albeit not quickly enough. Everything was done to have a clear person voted out. In most games I've played with Porscha, their activity level is random. Sufficed to say, it would serve me better (as mafia) to have just voted them out in R1 than it would be to save them just to simply bus them again. In a way, it was good that I was gone for about an hour last night just before nightfall. I probably would have unvoted Porscha because of the claim and I would have been wrong for it, again.
