Hmm. It's tricky. When I read Scumfever's post where he used the word ****head, I just thought he was going along with the swearing flavour of the game as apparently Bruce Willis says it in like every movie. I forgot that the mafia are ****heads, and people haven't really been calling them that in the thread. I figured he was just saying that if anyone should be policy lynched for not contributing it should be a player worse than Marshy, which Scumfever counts himself as one of.
I wonder if the mafia were more likely to think of themselves as ****heads and notice the use of the word. If so, then I think Tom could be using this chance to take advantage of it while a townie was using it unawares.

hahaaha i ****in lol'd, callin out riddle.
It's really not a matter of an opinion Omis. He's proven himself ****in time and time again.
Now if you don't like how the ******* plays, I don't either, but he's still proven he's a solid player. More so than alot of the other ****heads around here, including myself.

nope sorry
the answer i was looking for from "townfever" would have been to say that you were talking about marshy and saying that he was not a ****head. because essentially that is what i read when i read you say "moreso than some other ****heads" before I saw you add "-****heads like me." instead i get a scumfever explanation about how im being stupid and reading too hard
no sorry, im not playing too hard, you're just not hard enough to play with me.
vote stays.
This interpretation of Scumfever's post seems weird to me. If you immediately thought ****head=mafia, then "More so than alot of the other ****heads around here" would mean he thought Marshy was mafia--otherwise they wouldn't be 'other' ****heads, they would just be ****heads. I think the use of 'other' here implies that they're ****heads in addition to the current ****head being discussed, which would have been Marshy.
So jumping on this does seem like a stretch to me, and I find Tom's 'right answer' for Scumfever to be one he would never have given because it doesn't make sense.
All that being said, Scumfever is also the kind of guy who would make a Freudian slip like that, from what little I've played with him. I'm suspicious of him and Tom now, though I don't think they're scumbuddies working together.
Tom you should reread Scumfever's post with how I read it in mind, I think it makes a lot more sense than your reading, and is what Scumfever was saying. Though it's possible I've missed something.
Also, as for Ronike bringing up Riddle, I thought he was implying that omis and riddle are bad at mafia, or at least not as good as Marshy. I don't think I've really seen Riddle play so I don't know if that's a weird thing to say or not.
Edit after refreshing the thread: Holy balls, slow down guys.
