[Advanced] The Usual Suspects Mafia - GAME OVER - COPS WIN

[Clovdyx]

It is easy. It's also incredibly stupid. Neither of those are traits are exclusive to scuny, though.

[Talya]

Too many people...I won't remember everyone. :(

 

Zander being his normal little puppy after Laine, I see, lol

[Talya]

I don't think Kiv would do that somehow.

Wow... my car broke down on the way to McDonald's.

Clearly your car oving you and telling you not to go to McDonalds.

 

I am tempted to spam. :)

I will murder you. Then castrate you. Just to be sure.

 

Are you offering to be my friend? :D

1. Befriending Sili is bad for your health. [see above]

2. Who are you and where do you come from?

 

Quote Pyramids hurt the eyes on mobile. Lay it down a bit please.

1. This is an ongoing struggle. People don't clip quotes to the pertinent bits for some reason and it drives me bonkers.

2. Who are you and where do you come from?

 

Wish - Sili is a boy...at least I think so, haven't done the check..

I have. I was young. I needed the money. Sili has a smooth androgynous pelvic bump. Hope that helps with your mafia hunting.

 

FYI- I peeked seph.....he's town.

How can I want to shoot someone in the face and still love them so much? Point being - this is a big game and people will forget that you are a hydra. So please don't do this.

 

Case-in-point:

fake cop claiming is a new one for you zander. guess it might be a joke. is it a joke?

You are a perplexing quandary for me, Zander. [maybe we just settle this with pepper spray and a homoerotic pillow fight and finish our evening with bacon wrapped turf-and-turf?]

 

Gimme something that's worth making game related comments about Sili. We are 3 and a half hours, a mere 5 pages, into this game. Darthe hasn't even commented yet and we all know when he does, that's when crud is gonna start. Hes very good at aggravating people after all. :P

This made me laugh. For real. Agree with your larger point but still hoping people can keep spam and lulz to a game-related and respectable level.

 

im not a fan of making fake claims.

Me neither. <_< [see? GAME-RELATED joke.]

 

What sort of father steals from their kid by the way, and feels no guilt?

What are you even talking about?

 

Ok checking in. Tired so gonna skip reading and joke voting for now.

Good to see you playing again, bro.

 

Darthe vs Nolder: sensing a lot of self hate already?

Please don't instigate. We have a wild timid Nolder poking his paw into the sunlight for the first time in who knows. Don't scare it.

 

Okay. Hydras. We have.. 8 of them. My theory is that at least a few are on the mafia team. I suggest that we just start lynching them to A- decrease post counts B- hit scum within a smaller pool ( 8 < 20 )

Don't be lazy.

 

am here but havent read anything yet?

Fair. How ya been, brother? Looking forward to your catch up post.

 

I feel like Alanna set up the possibility for herself in case of being mafia to go after the hydras in signups...

Wow. Bit of a stretch but I like the enthusiasim.

 

Actually, mish, there is a logic (to cut down on game bloat) that is good enough to start with, since it's not mathematically worse than any other random group of players.

Meh. You should have let this evolve, I think. Seeing how Mish responded to Alanna could have been informative.

 

I'm not going to lie I was mildly afraid I was going to get Key's rand

I'm not going to lie I am going to hate reading your slot. Key's beautiful soul shaded by your black heart. *sigh* I think the last game we were in together she was a Town JK, though. So I think her rand luck ended a while ago.

 

my name is Beck, feel free to ask me any questions

1. Hello.

2. Who are you and where do you come from?

 

Good morning everyone!  Checking in for now.  I'll be popping in and out today.

1. Hello. You make me hungry for dried grape products.

2. Who are you and where do you come from?

 

Between the Kiv sass and Mish's defensiveness, that is the way to go for now until I see anything better. Vote: Kiv/Mish

Hally jumping in to the deep end right off the bat. Not bad.

 

Said, woman, take it slow

It'll work itself out fine

All we need is just a little patience

Key must be rubbing off on you. Now I'll be whistling this for the rest of the day. And that's better than having one of the stupid songs from my daughter's learning cube stuck in my head.

 

+1 for GNR ref.

You get me. <3

[Yates]

Annnnnd... I just realized Kivam and Mish are a hydra. Which proves my point from earlier... *sigh*

[Kivam]

 

[v]AJ[/v]. Will be my policy lynch choice unless something significantly better comes along. Yes, i am still very, very pissed. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

 

Because I feel like this is an easy way for that slot to hop on a player and sit there, boasting of a 'grudge.'

 

Check the signup thread.  Said I'd be doing that before the role PMs went out.  So while you're right that it could be alignment indicative, generally speaking, objectively it isn't in this case.

[Razen]

I'm not liking Hallia's reaction towards Kivam/Mish.  She brought up two reasons for voting them - Kivam's policy lynch vote for Andrej and Mish's defensiveness regarding her response to Laine's proposal to lynch all hydras.  Hallia addressed the part about the policy lynch - because she feels it's an easy way to hop on and stay on Andrej's train.  I'm neutral on that response - it is, but it really only works for day 1.  But what about the part regarding Mish?  She changed their vote, and while it did come across as defensive, you can't say that Kivam/Mish's vote has stayed parked on one person as Hallia is claiming it would be easy to do.

Vote: Kiv/Mish

[Razen]

@ Yates - I am from here.  I've only recently come back to playing mafia.  This is my first game on the main board in over 2 years.

[Hallia]

So if you drew town you might do it, only to unvote later, or not do it at all, and say 'Oh hey, just kidding lul'

 

but you did it, and for now my vote stays.

 

@Razen - Have you seen anythign better?  He didn't move it.  I know that his partner did, but it stands out to me as scummy.

[Hallia]

Razen plays on the BT SG, and is a pretty great player imo.

That's fair enough.  I pretty much see the reaction as null, given the circumstances of how it happened.  I'm also not accustomed to playing with hydras, so I've been trying to factor in what both people are doing, which is why I was wondering why both parts were brought up.

[Razen]

Razen plays on the BT SG, and is a pretty great player imo.

Aww!

[Yates]

Razen plays on the BT SG, and is a pretty great player imo.

Thanks, Hally. Anyone I know that you could compare him to?

 

Also, I like you so far this game. Please don't be scum.

[Hallia]

NP Raz, it's true.  And it stands out to me more because I see both heads doing something kinda scummy.  And that's double trouble.  At least for me, when I'm a hydra, and town, my other head can offset my scumminess.

 

@Yates - I would say he feels to me like AJ, a fairly logical and easy going player.

I think it's because they're afraid they'll be accused of misrepresenting content if they clip it

 

[Hallia]

That is a possibility

[Kivam]

BTW, I've got literally no clue what your earlier response meant about my AJ vote. 

[Yates]

I think it's because they're afraid they'll be accused of misrepresenting content if they clip it

I always thought this was a silly argument. If you want more context, just click on the link. Obviously if you take something out of context someone else will call you out on it and you'll need to answer for that.

 

Ironically, I think it's actually easier to reread the game and notice something being misrepresented if people *DO* clip. But whatever. This is a losing battle. I will continue to do it for my own sanity and hope it makes my posts easier to read.

Did you play or were you simply a dead thread participant?

omg hi!

 

1. Villager by a very wide margin. The part of the game that interests me is figuring out people and their habits and why they do what they do. POG legionnaire Carl_Spackler defined how I feel about being a wolf better than I ever could: "it is something unpleasant we must do now and then to allow this beautiful game to run"

 

2. I think one of my bigger strengths as a villager is understanding who is a villager (through tone, ranges, comparative interest level, etc.) and building a cohesive core of players to help lead the game around and set a strong PoE. This can be difficult in larger games, which is typically why I am a more of a vanila game ~13 player type werewolf player. But I vastly prefer to have a core of players I trust and work with as opposed to working by myself. Not only does it help you find more intelligent suspects and narrow down your pool to the point where you have a better chance of ultimately being right, but it's just more fun. I've always viewed it as a team game first in either alignment.

 

3. Hopefully by being right and by garnering enough support for it to matter. I stress making correct, intelligent reads and if not outright finding wolves at least helping other players come to the same conclusions you have. Generally in larger games I think it makes more sense to find high-level wolf candidates then work from the bottom and find villagers as I would in a vanilla game, just because in order to conventionally "solve" the game you need to find an excessive amount of villagers early and even I'm not arrogant enough to think I can clear like ~10 people on day 1. Trim the fat and make the game more workable and sustainable for later players.

 

4. Ends justify the means, imo. Some people are more straight-lace here and prefer villagers to never lie for any reason, but I'm more of "if you know what you are doing and you are right, go ahead". Pulling a gambit and being wrong can be extremely destructive (ask someone about Myndrunner's dreamer gambit if you want a laugh), so hopefully you are confident you are doing something in the best interest for your team. Have a way out if you're wrong. Etc.

 

5. I have played forum Mafia for about 3 years now and have played IRL mafia/werewolf for about seven years. I play in 6-7 forums, so we probably know eachother or know players mutually just because I've been around a lot. I know almost every player in this game and have extensive experience with quite a few.

 

6. I will pretty much always use villager/wolf out of habit when this forum is a town/scum/mafia type lingo place, but I don't think this community really cares much what you use. If they can tolerate the things I say, they can tolerate the things you say.

 

Now your turn :)

1) Scum, by a lot.  Allows for a wider range of strategy.  Town is fun too, since I like solving puzzles, and I'm damn good at it if I survive long enough, but I prefer scumming.  As a great man once said, I love it when a plan comes together

 

2) Team

 

3) Dunno.  Depends how long I survive.

 

4) I'm definitely more of a safe-player.  You can win spectacularly with gambits, but you're more likely to die trying, and I prefer playing it safe.  Ask anyone.  *angel face*

 

5) A ton - years and years - and not a lot.  Took a mafia hiatus after being a N1 auto-view or early night "strong player kill" for a while.  Kind of takes the fun out of playing when you know you have no chance of survival as scum or town.  So there's a whole crop of players on here I don't really know that well

 

6) Town/Scum for me
