Okay everyone, Im sorry for not posting. Ive been bogged with (still am) with college work, so bear with me

. I have been reading, but I have always found it difficult to speak when two players are dominating the conversation, as I find it difficult to distinguish a good case from a false one, but this is made easier for me when it is in group's (the more people talking, the better, in other words).
Between the case of DY and Talapus, I feel as though DY's words day one about mafia BD's was valid, and proven (since when the BD showed up, he was hoodlem, not town, therefore, he was a scum BD, which I consider the same as mafia). Talapus makes many good points, but because the aforementioned post was correct, I find DY's position to be rather concrete, mostly because he was correct. Whether this means he KNEW it because he is part of the faction, or because he took an educated guess, I choose to go with the latter option, as I often speculate and announce the roles I think might be in the game. Due to this, I dont see Talapus' case as a valid one, and am actually frightened by the by the concentration he has on DY. I dont remember day one as I read it, but did not retain much (seems to happen when the days last more than 40 pages), but if Talapus did not mention the quote day one, I dont see why he would mention it day two unless he had a lyncher mechanic and was covering it up by not pushing for a DY lynch day one, but that idea is far fetched.
Before I go on with current debates (MM's "lead" and the current case on James), I would like to say I am not in the right mind right now (1:15, been working on college work and a couple shots [I know I know, probably not good to do both at once, Im fine]) and so if my thoughts seem SCATTERED, its cause of those combined, plus Im hoping to read an article by one of my personal role models, John Carmack, on programming, so this is alittle rushed. I would like to add that my college Fall break just started, so I am hoping to be able to post more since I have hardly any homework and will just be partying the whole time

.
MM's comment about the possible doctor with 40 Ph.d's is possible, but because I dont get the ongoing joke, I cant give a complete opinion on it. I dont see why Fircoal wouldnt add the role if its an ongoing joke, and I dont see why he wouldnt at least make the doctor "doctor with 40 ph.d's" in addition to a normal doctor, so I would say if everything Ive read is true, and its an ongoing joke/common, why not continue it?
With james' case, I find it as a viable case, but I understand he is new. While he is new, he may be over-zealous and is posting things that make since to him, but just emphasize his new-player smell to us, as he seems to be posting things that are common knowledge to us, but he emphasizes to build his case, like this:
Looking back at one of TWO's posts before he died... He FOS'd myself, Yoshi, and Neb. Knowing that he was hoodlum, I think that would clear our names of being associated with that faction.... So if you are voting for us as a mafia member, change it. I at least am not a hoodlum.

if you are voting as a townie, still change it! I'm on your side.
Obviously, this is WIFOM, but to him, this is a valid point. I am not defending him, more so defending why this case will not have my vote. While he has clouded the forums with his, [blunt comment coming up] bull shit, I remember thinking the same kind of things when I had just started (its only a year or two ago, so I can remember that stuff), but I didnt ever post the things I thought because I did not want to look scummy. With this in mind, I can see why he would post these things (if hes more outgoing than I) and think that he is making a good case while his case is full of holes. Overall, between him safariguy, I would say that James deserves my vote the most, because of how scummy his posts are. That said, if you have questions on why Im not voting him, read the above again.
Sorry for the large post, I wanted to give enough input to suffice for my recent absence.
