I don't know about you, but I have found over the years that Mafia is not fun when the players are insulting each other. To avoid potential unpleasantness I tend to follow a piece of proverbial advice.
A soft answer turneth away wrath:
but grievous words stir up anger.
It makes gameplay more pleasant if we're not insulting each other while suggesting that the other is (or could be) a lying piece of scum.

I've sometimes failed at this, but that's because, deep down, I don't like people suggesting I might be a lying piece of scum.

Having read the thread and caught up after lagging through the weekend, I'm now convinced that Owlbear's voting for Kali os indicative of a Monster's solo existence rather than a Hero team, thus I withdraw any stated or implied suspicion.

Alan: in your analysis of Bahamut in post 244 you mentioned his last comment came on Friday, but then included a reference to forcing a tie not being anti-Monster as Bahamut had suggested, which is something he posted today (Monday).
One would think that in a game of deception and deduction, it would be easier to take that little bit, but I agree it is sometimes hard to note take comments like that personally.

Thanks for pointing that out Mord. I added the last line to Bahamut's entry as I read the tie comment specifically. When I got to Vichy PLZ I read a little bit further because I noticed there were new posts since my last.
