I think the bullet points are accurate. A commuter would indicate that the scum have a way to deal with it or the town is sufficiently weak that they need someone the scum can't easily kill. Commuter would also cause some issues for town PR's, like an investigator who can't then investigate that player. From a finding scum standpoint, knowing that we have a commuter, or a strongman for that matter, doesn't really add anything to the process of finding scum. I'd have to go back and read your theory on Dr. James in detail as I don't quite follow how I was involved in that thinking. I don't trust the Dr. either. I find it particularly interesting that Zip is voting for Jason... no longer really suspecting Dr. James, and that Jason is voting for Dr. James. I'm going to re-up from yesterday and Vote: Zip (Mostlytechnic). I haven't seen anything from Zip today that suggests to me that I should change my opinion from yesterday. I would be happy to switch my vote to Riley or Dr. James at this point to get a lynch.

Of course you're town... the possibility that you're both town is certainly there. I didn't react to the claim because I didn't really pick up on it. What changed between yesterday and today to make you not want to push for Dr. James anymore? Not all of us... the moles all know who are on their side. The blocker claim by scum is quite common, usually because they've been caught doing something and were forced to claim. It's also an extremely common scum role, so easy to report valid actions. This is encouraging. I don't think you need to tell the entire group who you blocked if you have someone else to discuss it with.

I think the standard EB mafia approach to winning is having played for the team that won, regardless of whether or not you survived to the end. Surviving and winning are two different things, and in the course of a game, the contributions of a deceased player can have been extremely important to their side winning in the end.

I had a few things I had seen about Benson that made me think he wasn't scum, but the fact that we weren't able to get a proper lynch going on either he or Zip is making me wonder if both of them are scum. The no lynch yesterday doesn't help us at all. We're back reliving yesterday with one fewer townie.

I did send him a PM. It's no fun to see someone discouraged with the game, and particularly when it's someone who's new. New players are great for the game and have actually shifted the style of EB mafia at times, but it happens slowly. For example, it used to be that advocating for no lynch on day 1 was seen as super scummy. There is a fair amount of meta-gaming people's play styles, though. I don't think vets actively are trying to exclude newer players, but vets can get a pass for things that new folks wouldn't simply because they've played that way in the past.

Despite some scummy behavior, this is the reason I'm not voting for Benson. I don't think this is the type of statement a mole would make. I don't actually agree with it logic here, but why bother stating this so matter of factly if he could have just let Officer Lewis get lynched? I always thought of summer as a happy season! I think it's unlikely that Benson and Zip are both scum. Since Benson and Alfred voted for Zip, there are now three people who've commented on Zip and then voted in other directions. Those are Larry, Curly, and Moe... or as we know them, Larry, Kaster, and Dr. James. Vote: Zip (Mostlytechnic)

Unvote: Agent Moore (Kwatchi) - I don't feel good about this vote. I will vote again later.

This was in relation to Jason White's observation that Benson said he didn't think Lewis was scum but later joined the bandwagon. He now says he doesn't think Bob is scum, so I suggested we might expect him to later vote for Bob. As for me, I will Vote: Agent Moore (Kwatchi) I think he completely overreacted to my earlier comments and he took a strong response to Riley as well. There's an element of desperation in his tone that doesn't sit well. When I pointed this out, he later only commented on Riley's remarks that he can't respond to "it doesn't sit well".

I actually didn't make any of those arguments. What I said was that I don't lean particularly one way or the other on either of you, but that between you and Bob, I leaned more toward you as a mole than him. What you've got seems like a scummy overreaction. This was in the context of trying to figure out if one of the people not on the Lewis bandwagon is scum. There are only three of us alive in that situation: you, Bob, and myself. I'm not sure I understand the connection between Barry's untimely demise and your vote for Dr. James yesterday. Agree with all of this. That's a good observation... I assume from this, that Benson thinks Bob is not scum and will vote for him later.

Jason White (Kintobor) was the last vote prior to the complete breakdown by Officer Lewis. If you think one or two scum spread elsewhere, tell us who. You seem so certain that all the scum are on the bandwagon that it's like you have additional information. Or you're trying to project attention away from one of the three of us not on the bandwagon. That said, I will say that between Bob and Agent Moore, I'm not particularly confident that you're wrong. Both of them are fairly middle of the road to me at this point. I would lean to Agent Moore as the more likely mole between them. You need to count more intelligently. Not bothering to see that two of the 5 people not on the bandwagon are dead is disingenuous. I put Riley's vote after the penalties to make it clear that his was a reaction to the edit. I'm just as interested in the group prior to the breakdown as I am in the group after it. Notably, Alfred Drew cast the first vote for Officer Lewis, but it was my husband and Jason White who really pushed Officer Lewis to insanity. I will say that I think they both put enough pressure on Officer Lewis that I'm confident they are not both moles. Alfred's silence after that point is also noticeable. Also... Bob... you seem to think that Officer Lewis showing up as CTU somehow validates his vote for Benson... I don't find Benson particularly helpful, but has Benson done anything more to cement your ill opinion of him? The whole "can we vote him out now" would be more helpful if it came with some reminder of your case against him. It also feels a bit like you want us to cut to the chase and skip the rest of the conversations we might have today. I don't think that's a good idea.

I'm leaning town on Officer Lewis (jamesn) simply because he's been too erratic. As scum, he has nothing to gain by that. Even if he's erratic enough to avoid a lynch, he's likely to attract attention. You're earlier comments about me seemed reasonable but there's something off about this entire post. First you say you wanted to "play it close to the vest" about having been in touch with Skinner. It seems like you only bring it up because you are learning that multiple people were in touch with him in private and you don't know what Skinner shared. The fact that Skinner chatted with a bunch of people makes it likely that he was in touch with at least one mole. Maybe that mole learned something about Skinner. The comments on Benson seem like they're simply there to convince us to pass him off. You say you accused him yesterday but you didn't really. You simply observed that he voted without providing anything behind it. He had a throw away comment in response and that was it. That's not the level of accusation you seem to be trying to convey here. Yesterday you voted for me, then continue to make the case today against me, but vote for someone else. It's like you're hoping to get some confidence others will join you before really backing the notion. Vote: Alfred Drew (Zepher) This whole bit about the crusader doesn't really come out in the first part where you vote for him. It's in response to people questioning your vote approach and it reads more as justification. You got upset with Lewis for making your accusation about the PM's, but that's what you talked about in your vote comments. This stuff was all after the fact. That's not saying it wasn't in your head, but it certainly didn't come through.

I don't think I voted all that late... it was just a little bit after the middle of the voting period... maybe 45 minutes into the hour, if we divide the hour into 20 minute segments with the first 20 not permitting any votes. You are correct, though. I could have perhaps led by example and jumped on one of the other candidates with multiple votes. Had I done that, I would've switched to my husband Larry, but it really would've just been between him and Riley as I was the only other person with multiple votes. Riley got his votes for too quickly voting for me, and I didn't find that a compelling reason. Larry has been talking a lot, but I'm not sure he isn't just trying to stir trouble. It's not always about learning stuff immediately. Sometimes the value of the first vote starts to become more clear as the day progresses through a few more votes. I used to be very much in favor of lynching the first time through. I have since swung largely the other direction, but I find the lack of any effort to consolidate on a few good candidates early on to be a side effect of not lynching that I don't agree with. What you see on votes where a lynch is pushed, barring an early consensus such as the result of an investigation, is that you force people to take sides and then have the ability later on to look at the reasons they chose for taking those sides.

I don't think there was any likelihood of people coming together at that point in time in order to lynch someone, but I do find it useful to see voting patterns converge on a few candidates rather than have them be spread all over the place. When they're spread out, there's nothing to read into. Forcing the group to condense that down gives you an ability to see preferences among a few candidates. It didn't happen, so we'll have to work with what we got. Yeah, that's pretty odd. Officer Lewis voted for Riley and Dr. James. He must've had a really strong scum read really fast. And now Officer Lewis says he was brash in PM... to Skinner?

I would encourage you and anyone else who are the sole voter for your candidate to vote for one of the multiple vote getters. If you don't want a lynch, that's fine as we're still pretty far from lynching anyone, but we've got votes on 10 different people right now and we can learn more about how people feel by narrowing the scope a bit.

Beats me why you're overly concerned about it... you are the only person who freaked out. What's RVS supposed to mean?

Dear, if you got the reaction you wanted, shouldn't you move on to the next vote? Does Zip still look the moliest to you? Otherwise, you're just blowing hot air like you do on the campaign trail. I'm a senator's wife. I don't get to have opinions. I think you're overly concerned about it. Vote: Benson (LegoMonorailFan) This is all very interesting, too. Dr. James, the nurse (who ISN'T being played by jamesn (although he's trying to make up for it)... that's like not having Bob play Bob... c'mon KotZ!) seems very unhappy with Barry. Barry seems very unhappy with the idea of moles in general. Maybe Barry's trying to avoid helping Agent Moore test his Pet Mole Theory. Whatever the theory, I'm sure it's complete nonsense.

Look at that, honey! You got a vote! I thought we were hunting moles and voting for people... Do you have moles for pets? I can hardly wait for a theory that's about pet moles. I have a theory that moles make terrible pets.
