MAFIA: Fallen Angels

[kthx]

Meal prepping, or what?

Final meal homie. Remember Jerome after I die.

[Jerome Scuggs]

this is always the worst part, cuz i am racked with doubt and second-guessing myself

zeebu might not post for a minute cuz vothsort of implied this might go on thru the weekend

im trying to think about past games and i want to say that whenever i am most filled with doubts about my vote, thats usually when the flip reveals scum - but thats the point isnt it, scum is gonna try to manipulate the weak-willed into changing their votes, and their scum buddies are gonna of course fall in line and vote with town but they will do so in a way that is filled with alot of indecision and fingerpointing ("if kthx flips town next lynch is jerome" - works to make me doubt my own vote plus it also lays the groundwork for misleading town the next day)

but at the same time a common flaw with our stupid meat brains is we tend to see what we want to see, so i might just be glassing over the times i felt exactly this nervous and the flip revealed a townie

idk

mafia is down one plus theres a potential 3rd party killing role or vigi or something out there, so they cant make alot of moves, i figure mafia is 3ppl, maybe 4? minus one is 2/3, and unless lighting struck here, im guessing the train contains at least 1 scum, and at least 1 scum voted someone else, unless they took that basic truism into account and piled on the kthx train, but there i go again being a fuckstick with the speculation. i know the cliche vonnegut go-to is slaughterhouse five, but my personal favorite book of his has always been galapagos, which basically revolves around the idea that our brains are pretty shitty, and it ends happily, a million years in the future when our descendents have evolved tiny brains and flippers and are basically dolphins, just chillin out with no worries or want

see, i cant tell if kthx genuinely thinks im scum, or if this is a gambit to get me to change my vote. idk if kthx is known as being someone who thinks long or short term, depending on that he could be either

i missed a vote day 1 so i felt compelled to for-sure vote this phase. would you like to suggest someone else? would you like to share some concrete evidence? as far as i am concerned my RFD is exactly as concrete as any other RFD this phase, so come at me dawg.

Jerome is the other option if you want to go that direction I'm sure we can make it happen.

Jerome Scuggs thoughts on willby?

[Jerome Scuggs]

actually yes let's make it happen, present your case as to how and why i am scum.

Because you were lurking until you got called out for lurking. You jumped on the kthx train, which I'm fine with, but I'm not sure your reasoning checks out. Because you're not one of the 3ish ppl that i'm reading town. And because I legitimately don't believe voth could resist giving you a scum role.

[Halp]

Also because of Nixon

woah woah woah. so you can analyze the meta / the mod to inform your decisions, but my doing the same is invalid? k

[Jerome Scuggs]

and if inactivity is a standard you're aiming for, i suppose you should look around

so once again can we see some actual evidence here lol, otherwise im not changing my vote nor do i feel in the wrong for doing so

my theory here is im taking the heat because the modpost shows my name first, implying i started this vote, and noone actually reads actual posts (ill get to that later if im still alive, some of yall already fucked up)

[Halp]

Yeah but mostly because of Nixon

[Jerome Scuggs]

in that case i wait to be lynched with bated breath, though much like nixon i'll definitely be walking away from any potential trouble )

Archie is sitting here with his hippie son-in-law, married to the screwball daughter. The son-in-law apparently goes both ways. This guy. He's obviously queer ? wears an ascot ? but not offensively so. Very clever. Uses nice language. Shows pictures of his parents. And so Arch goes down to the bar. Sees his best friend, who used to play professional football. Virile, strong, this and that. Then the fairy comes into the bar. I don't mind the homosexuality. I understand it. Nevertheless, goddamn, I don't think you glorify it on public television, homosexuality, even more than you glorify whores. We all know we have weaknesses. But, goddammit, what do you think that does to kids? You know what happened to the Greeks! Homosexuality destroyed them. Sure, Aristotle was a homo. We all know that. So was Socrates. You know what happened to the Romans? The last six Roman emperors were fags. Neither in a public way. You know what happened to the popes? They were layin' the nuns; that's been goin' on for years, centuries. But the Catholic Church went to hell three or four centuries ago. It was homosexual, and it had to be cleaned out. That's what's happened to Britain. It happened earlier to France. Let's look at the strong societies. The Russians. Goddamn, they root 'em out. They don't let 'em around at all. I don't know what they do with them. Look at this country. You think the Russians allow dope? Homosexuality, dope, immorality, are the enemies of strong societies. That's why the Communists and left-wingers are clinging to one another. They're trying to destroy us. I know Moynihan will disagree with this, [Attorney General John] Mitchell will, and Garment will. But, goddamn, we have to stand up to this. But it's not just the ratty part of town. The upper class in San Francisco is that way. The Bohemian Grove, which I attend from time to time ? it is the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever imagine, with that San Francisco crowd. I can't shake hands with anybody from San Francisco. Decorators. They got to do something. But we don't have to glorify it. You know one of the reasons fashions have made women look so terrible is because the goddamned designers hate women. Designers taking it out on the women. Now they're trying to get some more sexy things coming on again.

If I had quoted Kthx instead of Nixon, would anyone have noticed?
