Why is everyone unvoting Badger? He still has time to fake claim with votes on him

Very interesting. I tried to read Johnny Got His Gun over a girl who liked weird books recently, but couldn't stomach the idea of it.
Trumbo is one of our local literary heroes- nothing like Ireland, of course, but I've seen his house in Montrose and the building in my neighborhood where he used to rent an apt. is now called The Dalton Trumbo.

If I was mafia, and as first to claim, I'd have a fake claim. That I don't want to claim should tell you something.

Lawrence Olivier as Crassus
Tony Curtis as his slave, Antonius

Marcus Licinius Crassus : Do you eat oysters?
Antoninus : When I have them, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus : Do you eat snails?
Antoninus : No, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus : Do you consider the eating of oysters to be moral and the eating of snails to be immoral?
Antoninus : No, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus : Of course not. It is all a matter of taste, isn't it?
Antoninus : Yes, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus : And taste is not the same as appetite, and therefore not a question of morals.
Antoninus : It could be argued so, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus :(emerging from his bath) My robe, Antoninus..... My taste includes both snails and oysters.

I remember why I stopped playing forum mafia tbh. This game suffers so bad from inactivity.

A good deal to catch up on here, but I'm through it.

I do think Wylted's claim is a bit odd, though I can't yet say if there's anything meaningful behind that. Until we have some idea of what the split is, it's hard to treat any battle as problematic. I'm down for going deep into theme analysis, but with only 2 battles claimed and some vague ideas regarding the remainder, I'm loathe to make any solid choices on this basis.

As for badger, I was honestly not too concerned over his responses until he decided to write this to Wylted and drl: "One or both of you unvote or I'm claiming and leaving." That may not suggest that he's scum, but this kind of behavior is shit I've seen too many times before. Threatening to leave the game because people are voting for you is, at minimum, anti-town because all it does is set his personal interests above that of others in this game. Both Wylted and drl seem to have been cowed by it, but I see no reason to let something like this slide.

That's such a cheap reason to vote me. I think I've probably provided the most reads out of anyone here, and I'm still poring over the game. 

I never said I was leaving the game either, I was about to take the night off, which I should have.

I would generally town-read the "anti-town" reasoning. It's in line with OMGUS, people play this game to be less wrong, rather than right, in the absence of any real reads. But that reads opportunistic tbh.

Where was I ever about to leave the game? I was frustrated by TUF's constant and baseless pressure.

I even caught myself doing it with disclaimers about drlebronski, but he does read town.

I haven't really seen TUF act out of the ordinary here. If anything, this is more usual for him than his last game where he was rather passive, which is part of the reason I ended up shooting him over you in the end.

I don't think he's scum either. I'm just wondering if you've been reading.

From the perception of someone who doesn't have much experience playing with him, I can understand it to a degree.

Whatever about everything else, I was not about to leave the game. I enjoyed playing last game with you.

Do I need to point out the blatant wifom here?

I'm gonna unvote and VTL Wylted and go to bed at this point. If I'm dead when I get back on tomorrow, I'm dead. 

Final FOS is probably Chris, Earth, dunno. 
I'm less mafia than Wylted.

I have 3 votes on me and no reason to town read badger. I doubt we'll get a lynch, but if it's me or him.
