We should end the Day, or at least get things moving in that direction. Everyone either get on the Kaze wagon or say why you'd rather not.
Wouldn't this be a false dichotomy?

Uh... Either you're voting Kaze or you're not. If you're not, there should be a reason, even if that's simply that you think he's town.

I have been trying to decide if i should vote for kaze or suga but now fate and newen are acting really strangely, trying to sheep everyone without giving very good reasons. I don't think proxying his vote to someone who randomly asks for it makes suga town, I think it makes him stupid

Hey Fate. Have you been lurking here a bunch or what? Swooping in 7 minutes after your name is mentioned feels pretty defensive.

Also, it's hard for me to say you've really been "trying" to do much of anything this game. My initial questions to you were specifically about the Kaze wagon and why you left it, yet you still haven't answered them or commented on your reasoning. Basically, if that's what you think you're trying to do, you're not doing a very good job.

DroppingSuga is voting Kaze because Kaze led the battlecharge against Suga. Town are quick to believe that scum are trying to lynch people (for the same psychological reasons people generally believe they're being persecuted). Scum votes will be divided between these two wagons, obv, because a dichotomy of two town at day's end is most ideal. All other wagons have been quelled.

Fate's reactions mirror mine. Neither of us kiss ass or bother with irrelevant avenues of play.

If verbose
posts full of bullshit constitute "doing stuff." Mafia is not a game that favors dotting every I and crossing every T. Bending over to count ants is a good way to get an axe in the back. This isn't a playstyle difference, this is axiom.

Scum win mafia games by making each day as nonspecific as possible, by attacking town reads of other players, and by rallying players against STUPID instead of SCUMMY. Any player can be stupid. Scum motivation is not the same.

It's cute that you seem to believe that you know WHY I voted for Kaze. I voted for Kaze because of his erratic behavior and his unwillingness to cooperate with anyone. I don't simply vote for someone because they vote for me or else I would have been going after the guys who are rallying
against me at this point. I stand by my read that Kaze is scum and will keep my votes their until the end of the day phase.

This isn't a playstyle difference,
this is delusion.

Fate seems to think he's doing all this great stuff, but all I've seen is him trying to bully people into changing their votes without offering a scrap of reason. I'd be up for leaving the Kaze wagon if I believed he's town. Fate calling me blind isn't going to get me there.

Why are you making haste? Is there a reason you're trying to draw lines in the sand? I don't see the town motivation here.
I'd like to reiteriate:

vote: Kaze
Good for you.
I have been trying to decide if i should vote for kaze or suga but now fate
and newen are acting really strangely, trying to sheep everyone without giving very good reasons. I don't think proxying his vote to someone who randomly asks for it makes suga town, I think it makes him stupid
But does it make him scummy? Ask yourself that.

(And then realize the answer is yes.)
Who is sheeping who I made this G_R wagon with my own sweat and blood
Ohai, Fate.

MS meta suggests townFate is a rather vociferous poster. Why have you been so lurky this game?

You are buddying so hard.

Hold the phone.

When you first voted me, you admitted you had no reason, just gut you were going by. When the hell did you contrive this reasoning? How about this, please quote and explain when I was being "erratic and uncooperative" because I don't fucking think you can.
Fate seems to think he's doing all this great stuff, but all I've seen is him trying to bully people into changing their votes without offering a scrap of reason. I'd be up for leaving the Kaze wagon if I believed he's town. Fate calling me blind isn't going to get me there.
So...if Fate is town, I'm town? Where did this come from? Explain what your thought process is here, please.

How about those nameclaims?

Not sure how you're misreading that, but I'll try to word it differently.

If I believe Kaze to be town, I will get off Kaze's wagon. At the moment, I believe Kaze is scum. Fate
apparently wants me to believe Kaze is town. Rather than use reasoning, Fate calls me blind, which is not very effective.
How about those nameclaims?
Manders, if you're still counting, I am officially against a name claim.

A sudden shift for a minor reason following a change in someone else's opinion. That's something worth noting.
Again, that was incidental.

That's not going to happen.

We're lynching Suga.

Period.

If you don't like that, you'll have to kill me.

Why the question mark?
Because I don't know what will be accomplished by claiming names.
Why would you agree to something if you don't know what it will accomplish?
I figured her statement was town motivated. At the time I guessed there was a good reason.

And the explanation she gave makes sense to me at least. That's why I stand by my 'I guess' and will even promote it to a
full 'sure'.

If anyone has a good reason not to though, I'd be happy to hear it. (Being a waste of time is not a good reason to me.)

I don't like any of this post

1) It implies we should either be a) voting for Kaze or b) actively defending him/not voting for him, that those unconvinced (I, and possibly others) need to make a definitive stance on whether he is or is not scum

2) It implies that the only real scum-suspect (or whatever vernacular is prefered) is Kaze, despite decent arguments for others (GR, DroppinSuga, imopen, due note, I do not per se think they are scum, just that arguments have been made regarding them) being thrown around

3) His follow up to this (responding to whether this is a false dichotomy or not) actually
makes me think this is even more so

"Either you're voting Kaze or you're not. If you're not, there should be a reason, even if that's simply that you think he's town"

Again, it presents a scenario that we have to decide whether he is town or not (I'm not convinced of either, Nuwen's arguements from earlier make a pretty compelling case, yet my gut tells me he isn't based on my own experience with a similar situation), not only that, he either a) refuses to admit that it is a false dichotomy, b) doesn't believe that it is or c) has no idea what one is (which I doubt), if he didn't believe it is, he would've elaborated further, yet he didn't, implying that A, he doesn't want to admit to it being one, he's presenting a fairly black and white situation that either a) I feel kaze is scum and thus am voting him or b) I feel that he isn't scum (implying that I believe he is town, least his words do) and thus not voting him.
