My apologies: I'll reread and get back to you. But be warned that it might take a while yet again. Cards on the table: my schedule has left me rarely able to post on this site at all over the past few years, let alone play mafia, hence my year+ absence. And I still wince at how I did in the last game, where my attention was divided. Sure, we won, but lord knows I did not handle that game well at all... The only reason I joined up is because WoW's games have historically been awesome, and this one does not disappoint.
Also, I prepared a long post earlier in between phone calls, but now it's been far over an hour, things have continued speeding along, and it wouldn't contribute much in the way of originality. Short story: I didn't realize hylian and I are the only one left unclaimed, so a mass claim isn't as bad of an idea as I thought. I'm a Mason, which is why I fully believe Smeags and, through that, sparks' claim to have Smeags' Elfire. (Our lodge is very small, and as a real life male I willfully refuse to do what it'd take to make it grow).
I don't think the town is in too much trouble just yet: we've only lynched once, and that didn't kill any townie. That said, I hope four is the largest scum faction rather than five, as otherwise two miskills today would end the game. I believe the risk is worth it though.
Smeags and Padib are solidly town in my mind, I make no apologies for staying on RCT or for suspecting cone, and either whiteeagle or nickle is probably lying. The mafia roleblocker may reconcile Cone and whiteeagle's stories, but it's just another in the "yes, but" series of explanations cone would have to string together to not look scummy in my eyes.
Moreover, while I'm not accusing WhiteEagle by any stretch, I would like to answer an earlier question regarding why a scum WhiteEagle would lie by pointing out that we don't know how many scum there are: if there are five scum in one faction, only two miskills are needed to win, and one could read WhiteEagle's story as an attempt to get at least one miskill, and then explain away his "error." His new status would actually help here: "I don't know what I'm doing" has been a common, and commonly accepted, refrain in this game. I don't think it's likely enough at this moment to prefer him over RCT, but the thought did occur to me.
Khan's constant flip-flopping is more scummy to me than not acting like a bomb, especially if he is new to mafia and therefore not clued in to how a bomb "should" act. I believe he once tried to raise not using his double-vote as proof of towniness, but as someone else no doubt pointed out, if khan didn't know about the double vote, it doesn't mean much. As an aside, his recent behavior would strike me as more suspicious if I wasn't familiar with khan outside this game. Respectfully khan, you tend to lose your temper too easily. The things you said during Monster Hunter games would make a sailor blush... But he certainly has been willing to jump on bandwagons fairly regularly, even more than the average player here. If I had to lay odds, I'd say scum, but he's lower on my list than others.
Finally, guys: It's a game. We've had our mod twice come in and ask that we tone it down, so let's please do so. It's rarely fun for anyone when things get personal, so if we can't play civilly then let's say so right now, and those of us who prefer not to continue in this environment can say so and request a modkill, or at least a cooling off period.
