Hmmm...why would I nip anything in a bud?

I think the bigger question is...Why would you nip something in your butt xD .

I forgot to address this question ... I believe "nip in the bud" is talking about weeding, getting a weed before it gets too big. 
http://grammarist.com/usage/nip-in-the-bud/
Turns out it's more like clipping a flower bud before it blooms (I guess to save the plant's energy for other flowers or maybe just for aestetics), but it's the same meaning of "get something that will be a problem before it grows into a problem".  This explains the use of "bud" much better than my guess. 

It also turns out that your misspelling/misunderstanding is pretty common.

It's highly improbable though unless Final-Fan wants to tell us him name

I don't know what divulging this information would be in aid of.  In fact I am not even sure what you are responding to here.

I think I know who you could have been busdriven with..

Somebody gets it.

Anyways, now I'd like to find out who bussed me.

Yeah, I want to know who ABC suspects of being ninja godfather that got bus driven.

For being bus-driver last game your skepticism is quite misplaced.

How are you so sure that it's me you haven't even made a proper case against me. You do realize how easy a choice I was for mafia to bus last Night, right?

It seems a bit overkill to provide a case when he already has a result for godfather ninja on you, doesn't it? I also don't like how you call yourself a likely bus target because there's no such thing as a likely bus target. And if that's the best thing that makes you town, well. It's pretty much lynching time for you. 

Yes, it is possible to have a likely bus target Nacho-bro. If a player could easily be framed (due to giving arguments against lynching prof), mafia would chose me to bus with them so that if I'm scanned, it'll give a guilty result, matching with the easy suspsicion.

I'm not even mafia and it makes sense to me.

And they would do this despite the fact that you are suspicious means you are a likely vig target, meaning that they could kill themselves in the process? No thank you. Not to mention that a roleblocker and a bus driver on the same 3 man team is unlikely. Nice try though!

ABC, if I were mafia I would claim power role to save my skin. It's a no-brainer...

still suspect final fan, though
still really suspect final fan
there's no way the scumteam just let prof die
happyd did vote finalfan yesterday, which seems strange unless there was meant to be a bit of distancing involved. I will also check into NotStan and radish while I'm at it.

You know why I voted final-fan, right?

If you were mafia, you would frame the situation where you and spurge could both be town so you could kill him in the night and not be instantly lynched the next day. 

 

happydolphin said:
Honestly guys, make some sense. I couldn't have possibly played mafia defending prof and claiming VT.

I can't prove it to you that I'm not the godfather, but why are you guys not even looking at the possibility of the Godfather being out there and me being framed. :(

"Couldn't have possibly played mafia defending prof and claiming VT." is an incorrect statement. In your opinion, it could be unlikely, but it is not impossible. I'm not looking at the possibility of you being framed because it's more likely that you are scum and making up lies to extend your life. There's this wonderful tool I love to use called Occam's Razor, which essentially states that the simplest answer is the most likely solution; in this case, you being scum and being scanned overnight is more likely than mafia predicting both that Stefl had an investigative role and using it on you, and bus drove you so there would be a guilty on you today.

happydolphin said:

Day 1 I stated my reasons to vote for Final-Fan. The no lynch option was a bad option, you don't give mafia a chance to kill at their pace. What else, Spurge is almost certainly town, and I would be hard-pressed to believe that his claim is untrue and I'm pretty sure that the scan that Stefl got was accurate. Ninja GF is too hard a role to make up. So Spurge is clean in my book.

Anyways guys, no more tunneling. We might have hit prof but we seriously tunneled Day 1 and are doing it again toDay. Unless we're really lucky it's not a strategy for the win.

Day 1, you knew no lynch was a bad option. But you allowed no lynch to be tied with prof (meaning the result was no lynch) for a very long time. Why is that?

We're not tunneling. There is a guilty result against you. Happy, what happens when a cop claims a guilty against someone else? Do you hunt for a framer? Do you hunt for a bus driver? No. You lynch the guilty.

Might as well call ABC mafia while you're at it. Is it really that illogical to think that the townie who defended the guy that got lynched and flipped scum is the same guy that got bus-driven with scum last Night? You're straining the confidence town gives you with your denigrating.

I can't even remember the last time we had a vig, and maybe you thought of that option but it's a 3 man team according to you they are not infallible either. It's much more obvious a strat for scum to frame me than it is to worry about being hit by the vig, imho.

Hah! That's hilarious. If I were mafia, honestly, if I was the godfather, do you honestly think I would kill Spurge so he could flip rolecop mason and get myself lynched the next day?

Get real.

Also, notice how that doesn't answer the question I asked. I voted FF on day 1, prior to Spurge even making the claim.

Am i the only one that thinks mafia is a 4 man team (well 3 man now)???

Three prophets, three mafia. Why do you think 4?

Exactly. That's why you've created a situation where you both can be town, so you can safely kill spurge in the night. When was the last time you've seen a bus driver before last round? Could you link me?

That came out of no where. What is your take on Spurge and Happy?
