Well heck with this.  I'm sympathetic to Bad Clown and the other people who want to let him live through the first day of his first VGC Mafia game, but so many people are pegging him as suspicious that I have wonder if there isn't fire under all that smoke. 

Vote A Bad Clown. 

I'm not entirely comfortable with this reasoning.  Just because many people think something doesn't make it correct.

You can read that as "when three or four other people and myself have independently become suspicious of ABC, I feel more confident that we're on to something" (than if one or two people thought so and managed to convince enough people to lynch). 

And obviously opinion doesn't determine fact, but there's not a lot of fact to go around in Mafia. 

Ok.  I just didn't really see where you were independently suspicious of ABC.  It was probably earlier in the thread.

What do you mean that "scummy" was overused last round?

Though Stefl(mafia) also overused the word.

I still don't see how the use of the word relates to someone's alignment.

i can confirm that the website he's talking about does exist. I'm a member myself but yeah, they don't like people knowing about it. I haven't been on in ages though, and I haven't seen A Bad Clown there.
yu haven't seen ABC there?

ALSO WTF guys, are you really playing on other forums while we have games already on here?
That pisses me off a bit too.

... why? 

I mean, assuming that someone is fully participating in whatever games they elect to play in here.  What's the problem with playing elsewhere as well, especially considering the pace of a lot of these games, and the fact that they may die on Day 1 or 2 and another game may not start for months. 

I mean ... what if you found out I was playing Mafia like a fiend on ten different sites?  Would you be pissed even though I was playing on every single game here since I found out about it in Round 4 or 5?  (Or ... I forget, there may be one exception where I was on vacation.)

I already explained that. Feel free to disagree, but there isn't more to say about it.

Has anyone ever heard of any game of mafia, forum or otherwise, where you're not allowed to change your vote?

I have.  There are games where your vote is permanent, so FOSes and HOSes become important placeholders instead.  There are also games where you "go to sleep" after you vote.  So after you vote, you can't post anymore that Day.

However, I think this is all made a moot point by that large post you made about ABC's posting timeline.  I need to study it a bit more though to be sure.

Let's just say that last round and the sign-ups were a bit frustrating from my perspective.  I probably should have left this for another time.

@the A Bad Clown situation

To me it feels like he did a poor job of feeling out the crowd he was playing with and just made himself look scummy instead.  Well, I did until Noname's big post about his timeline.  I still need to examine it more, but on the surface it does not look good for ABC.  Even without that evidence, ABC has become enough of a distraction that I would not mind seeing him lynched if we got pressed by a deadline.  Although he has been a little better since becoming robo-ABC.

(@mods: No, that doesn't mean I want to see a timelimit yet.)

@the Wonktonodi situation

I feel like a lot of the suspicion against him is completely misguided.  It feels like the same thing I went through when I first came to the realization that it was in the best interests of the town to lynch on Day One (execption: small games starting with an even number of players).  I fought for it hard several games in a row, and all I got for my efforts was suspicion on my head.  Obviously, you want to lynch the most supicious person.  If no one is particularly suspicious, or there are a couple of people equally suspicious, then other criteria must be used.  Maybe someone has done something that is becoming a distraction to the town.  I wouldn't want to lynch players that are going to be an asset should they turn out to be pro-town, so I have to look somewhere else...

Is it cold, calculating, and heartless?  Yes, yes, and yes.  But as I see it, that's the way this game is.
