Yes, sir!
I'm amazed by the sheer volume of posts that has occurred in the last twenty four hours. I checked the forum this morning and when I came back it was at least three pages later. I'm glad to see I've not been lynched while I was gone and not able to defend myself.
I want to say I am very impressed with how this game of Mafia has gone. We have managed a scum lynch every day. I am used to most games being townies lynched. It feels good to see us surviving the day phases. I have seen a lot of different play styles over the Days and have come to realize that Mafia is the modern version of philosophy.
I admit that I have been a bit of a bandwagoner when it comes to votes. As I have previously stated, a great deal of that is lack of confidence in leadership ability at this time. Also, I wrongly called Delvro as seer and Cello as townie. Delvro was from previous Aim experience and Cello was from sibling experience. Does this make me a poor townie? I honestly don't know. I feel very much like Socrates in that "a fool is wise in that he knows that he knows nothing". Also, I like the motto "Vote early, vote often." I still feel if I couldn't be a good leader, then I could be good support.
I spoke up on the S2 vote for multiple reasons. One, if the vote had turned against me and I had about three days to respond when responses had been slow I would not be happy that I may be lynched without a fair chance to represent myself. Granted S2 had stated that he had grown bored with the game, but now that the pressure was on him I figured there was a good chance he would be more interested. I know I have been in arguments in real life where I started to tune everything out until I was personally involved.
Two, if I was SRB's replacement I may not want my vote to be on S2. Since Sword had not had much chance to comment, I wanted to make sure he had time to confirm that the vote from his role was what he wanted his vote to be.
Three, I recommended a deadline extension to make sure there would be a lynch. Vote were slow coming in and I did not want to see the day end without a lynch. Too much text and tunneling had happened for there to be a pass.
I feel I have been much more active than Eric this game. His posts have been few and not very informative. I got used to the game's slower pass from Day 1 and Day 2. Day 3 and 4 have flown by.
I won't be available all day Monday, Dec 21st. I have to go to a two hour dialysis class with my mom, then I have to go to a doctor's appointment, and then I have to take my mom last minute Christmas shopping. I might be able to come back late Monday night or I may not because I'll be exhausted and have to work that night. I sincerely hope I am not lynched by then, but if it happens I would understand.
From what I can gather of the posts, the current threat is between me and Xiivi. I'm not sure how that happened, I'll try to reread the posts *again* to understand better. With that in mind, I'll stay with my current vote.
