I said my first comment when it seemed that most of the people would be ghost (and as the beginning message stated that the town was evacuated from everybody expect the two "good" people and ghosts who were waiting for the evil ones..). But still, 8 out of 22 are ghosts when this begins, and what I find intriguing is to see how constant the amount of ghosts will remain for few days..

[Wayward_fool]

8 ghosts huh? Interesting.

 

So, again, can I just check, is it the case that once every Mafia is a ghost, Town wins? Or will we need to wait till they are, I dunno, exorcised or whatever the word is before we win?

 

Why I wanna know? I kinda am just trying to guess how many mafia we have in this game. I would ASSUME at least 1 or 2 of them are currently ghosts, so it's fair, since some of the town are ghosts too. Either that or the necromancer will bring them back to life as scum(That's what a necromancer does right?).

 

Out of a game of 20, there'll be roughly 5 scums to start with? Or more? Or less? And if so, we need to get rid of as many of them as possible, so we can reduce the chance of too many recruits.

 

Gawd I'm so confused. So much going on, so much to consider.

[SBoydW]

I think Hoof said that a mafia being a ghost is the same as them being dead when it comes to victory conditions for town. So if all mafia are ghosts and only town remain "alive" then town wins. Please correct if I'm wrong but that is how I understood it.

 

And unvote nolder I just wanted to get that out of the way. And as of right now... I don't know how to vote seriously... Sad day one is usually like that.

[Netbattler11]

Make the fake vote counter blue hoof!

[Blackhoof]

*rolls eyes*

[Blackhoof]

Ghost votes, of course, cannot do anything, they r just for show.

 

It is the thought that counts right?

[Leelou]

Ok, so I have no internet until Thursday. Also phone service sucks at home until I'll have WiFi. *rolls eyes*

 

BG is scummy for wanting to ignore the ghosts. We have a voice too, if only in whisper form.

Looks like i've made the ghosts angry.

[bgrishinko]

Somewhere to start pressuring:

 

I believe this will be very interesting game.

 

Vote Graendals favourite

 

For the sake of voting and maybe getting this game moving. And because he is confused ;)

For some reason I've taken pretty laid back attitude with this game: I won't get to know the alignment of the lynch and they won't even be truly dead, so at least at the moment I just like this game :D It might change, and in the end this game may be just very confusing, but I have a good feeling..

 

Laid back it is :) I suppose you won't mind this then. Vote Killuliu

This is my main reason to vote for now. Gotta start somewhere and you seem ok with it, so why not start with you?

 

 

Shouldn't it have the mafia at the bottom and the townies coming down upon him though?

 

And I swear that I colored that last one...

 

Thanks Nolder :)

I don't know, Ithillian made me this one after a mafia game where we were in a Mason team and she noticed my lack of sig :D The setting might have something to do with the game though: for like four or so days we were suspected of being mafia even though or because we had claimed Masons, and the fact that we didn't end lynched and even won the game made us quite happy.

 

 

Not really focused and distracting from the game (.... but it really is a cool sig ).

Fluffy post.

 

 

Okay, well, it isn't much to go on. But, its all that's really happening on the Live side.

I know, and that's one more reason I even try to explain myself (usually that just leads me deeper into the mess), to get things rolling and to make some real discussion..

[Sakaea]

Sorry for being AWOL, but I'm back now. I'm reading this, and am confused. Don't know really what to think of all this yet....

[Red2111]

checking in. swamped at work but will try to catch up when i can

[Minuet]

Well, I was going to wait till he showed up, but..... I so have to vote for him. I swear he is mafia in every game I play with him in. So, it stands to reason he is probably mafia this time around.

 

Vote Kivam

 

This is not a joke vote. I try not to do those anymore.

 

BG it does appear you pissed the ghosts off. I would not ignore them to be honest. All players obviously could be mafia. To say we ignore certain players is just plain stupid if you ask me. Then again that is my opinion and you are entitled to yours.

[bgrishinko]

Okay, let me get this out once and for all, cause I'm done focusing on this: Focus on the parts I bolded. I never said outright ignore ghosts like they don't exist. My intention was that trying to read into the ghosts actions is counter productive since they are dead anyway.

 

I think to get this moving along we need to ignore the ghosts for a while as supplementary voices. They aren't as important to our overall goal... and focusing on them is kinda distracting. I think they will show their use to us later naturally depending on how this theme plays out.

 

This is probably not worded as well as I had hoped. I suppose I should have said "ignore their intentions and treat the ghosts as supplementary voices." That's what I was trying to say here. I guess until ghosts come alive and movement is made, I see it as a 14 person game with town/scum aligned cheering sections.

Ping.

 

A. You are a ghost. So ok... Post in blue please.

 

B. You are a ghost, and therefore aren't effectively a threat to town or even town or mafia aligned yet, if I understand the nature of ghosts correctly. Even if you are aligned one way, according to the opening post, who knows if that will stay.

 

As such, focusing on ghosts during Day 1 especially seems fruitless. Therefore, I don't understand the reasoning behind your ping. Care to explain?

 

We do welcome ghosts' scum seeking insight, but I will take it with much salt.

 

Now, hopefully tomorrow we can get this game moving towards a goal.

 

I'll say it again:

Focusing on a ghosts actions is fruitless, you are already dead.

Your opinions are welcome as anyone elses, since most are town oriented anyway, but once you come alive I'm treating you as a new player and forgetting your previous opinions. Others don't need to follow me on that last part, but I think it is smart. It isn't a hard and fast rule, cause who knows where this game will take us, but that's my stance on it now.

[Kivam]

Red, Key, and Kiv have all been scarce lately in other areas, so that explains having not checked in.

 

Sorry - Rosh Hashana and work had me tied up. Checking in and catching up.

 

Can we vote for ghosts?

[Kivam]

I'm going to vote:BG for now. Will be back later

[keyholder21]

Well, I was going to wait till he showed up, but..... I so have to vote for him. I swear he is mafia in every game I play with him in. So, it stands to reason he is probably mafia this time around.

 

Vote Kivam

Wow, voting for someone who wasn't even here yet, but it's not a joke? Big FoS Min. (Or were you kidding?)

 

*adds another FoS onto BG* Ignoring half of the players doesn't sound like a good idea to me. What if we pick up on something scummy that you miss?

[SBoydW]

Vote Min. For your reasoning. So because Kiv was mafia in the past he's mafia now? I've been mafia in several games, so am I scummy too? Scummy reasoning.

[Netbattler11]

YAY! Thanks hoof :D

 

 

Yeah, min's attitude is kind of scummy. But so is BGs. Let us see what develops.

 

Edited for blueness.

[Leelou]

Min, your vote sounds an awful lot like a joke vote and is coming off on the more scummy side.

[Nolder]

I'm going to Vote: Kivam for his rushed vote/response and lack of reasoning

will remove pending an explanation

[keyholder21]

FoS Nolder too.

[mmeeshal]

I also think Min's a bit suspicious-seeming; what real basis do you have for your vote on Kivs? Past games don't count for anything except metagaming the behavior of players, which you haven't done. Having said that, there hasn't been THAT much to go on yet, so I'm not reading too much into this particular thing at the moment.

 

BG's caused a big stir with his suggestion of putting the ghosts to one side for the time being, but that's primarily been the ghosts, and I can understand that reaction. I didn't really take BG's comment the way the ghosts did, though, so I honestly don't think he's scummy over that at all.

 

I am actually inclined to unvote and vote Kivam based on his vote on BG, though that's subject to change depending on his explanation, if he gives one.
