You-Snark-It Forbidden Thread (Mafia Discussion)

I'm quite anxious waiting for this outcome. I think this is the most "green dots" I've seen at one time since the game started.

[Scuba_Ben]

With faithfool's flurry of votes between 1:00 and 1:30 Eastern time today, I think Faith is scum -- otherwise there would've been a vote. Let's see what the outcome is.

[mmouse9799]

I know!!! Come on NAF, forget the color already. Just tell us what Sach was!!

[Eureka]

I'm not sure I believe that faithfool is scum, although it's certainly possible. I do find her appearance today in the nick of time, but being unable to choose someone to vote for convenient. Although, since I mostly believe her about her problems with internet access due to real life stuff, it's not impossible.

But if all this wishy-washy nonsense isn't at least partly an act, I'm having a hard time seeing why faithfool ever thought this would be a fun game to play.

I'd like to play in Hal's game unless the mutton comment dq's me. Watched but never participated. Also, need to figure out this whole referencing quotes thing. Don't have enough hours in the day to do the level of referencing that you all do.

[Hal Briston]

Heh...don't sweat it, peekercpa...I won't hold it against you, and there won't be any dossiers to sort through.

The sign-up thread for Newbie Mafia will be posted as soon as a winner is declared in the current game.

[peekercpa]

Otie Dotie. Maybe farm animal based.

[fluiddruid]

Off to The Game Room!

[HazelNutCoffee]

Whoa, dude.

[peekercpa]

Newbie question on the solve it mafia game. Since there are only three players left and they are at night hasn't the scum won?

I seem to recall that there's four players left - 1 scum and 3 townies. If your count is right, then yes, it would royally suck for the town.

Can we get a general rule change? If a Day ends with 1 scum and 2 town, should the Night be a no-kill Night?

AOE: You're correct, I just now saw the post where faith was modkilled. It does indeed suck for the town.

Hey Hal, I've already done a couple of games, so I'm sure I'm disquailfied. But, any chance you'll set up a protected thread of perfect knowledge like NAF did? If so, can I get in on that? I find the game more entertaining if I know who is what and why they're doing what they are.

Why? To make things easier for Town?

Right now there are three Town and one Scum. Presumably Tomorrow there will be two Town and one Scum left for the endgame. If faithfool gets mod-killed, of course, the game will be over either way (unless she turns out to be Town but for some bizarre reason the remaining Scum decides to make it a no-kill night).

ETA: Ooops, didn't realize the mod-kill already happened.

No, to make the game end on a Town action.

Neither did I when I had posted. Join the club.

But why should the game end on a Town action? Such a rule would make things easier for Town regardless of the reason why it was implemented.

[Hal Briston]

To continue the occasional hijack -- I'm going to hold off starting Newbie Mafia for a bit. Since fluiddruid started a new game, I don't want them to begin at the exact same time, so I'll give the new one a week or two to get off the ground first.

Technically the scum can choose not to kill at Night, so all the players could be alive to face Day 9. Realisitically the scum have the game in hand and there is no reason to risk losing it by playing another Day.

Enjoy,

So. Pleonast was scum. I admit, I kept thinking maybe he was, but that was always followed with "naaaah, it's obvious he's town. Who else looks suspicious?" Very well played.
