Backseat Hitmen (Off limits to living Mafia players)

NAF1138, please pass along my sincere apologies to the players if I was out of line posting that parting summary. I was under the impression that that was accepted/conventional game play. thanks /w

Well, I certainly don’t think the person who killed me was an ass. If it was the VIG (as I’d suspected and as has been claimed by Blaster Master), then I think it’s pretty damn funny that I got taken out by someone who’s supposed to be on the town’s side. If it was the Mafia, though, I’d congratulate them on spotting me so quickly and taking care of me before I could gather any further information. But it being the VIG is just so much funnier.

It seems my joking tone doesn’t work as text on a screen. I don’t really think the person who killed me is an ass. Hell, I don’t even know who they are. I don’t have any sour grapes. I had fun playing, and although I wish I were still doing so, it’s all part of the game.

The last game, MadTheSwine pursued me merculessly, and I had a hard time because I kept shifting between annoyance and amusement. So, I know exactly what you mean, I think. I’d describe it like this:

Game On: Bastard!
Game Off: Great job!

Well it shouldn’t be done, but it happens all the time. Don’t worry about it too much.

Also, nesta you still have access to the mafia boards, so you can follow along at night if you like. Just don’t post opinions, strategy, or advice.

Understood. I’m just a spectator now. At least I can follow the game on my own time and not be worried about missing something.

Thanks for running the game. It was a lot of fun even if I wasn’t as good at it as I hoped to be. There’s always next time I suppose.

Yeah, this was fun. As somebody mentioned in the behemoth thread, I think it’d be a good idea to run multiple, smaller games next time. Maybe two or three of fifteen players each. I’d certainly volunteer to be in charge of one of them.

Yeah, I am not sure if TPTB will let us do that. When I asked for permission to start this thread they said it was fine as long as only one was going at a time. It’s too high traffic for the hampsters to deal with more than one it seems. But it is worth a shot at asking. A smaller one next time would be a very good idea though. And maybe getting someone to help me keep track of the vote count, since I seem to always be missing someone!

Counting is harder than it looks.

Not at all. Besides, I was clearly wrong.

BTW, since you wanted to know how you got picked: I actually asked the person who submitted your name for the night kill why they picked you, mostly because I was so surpised that it was your name. (I don’t usually) You gave yourself away to them by calling a night kill a lynching in one of your posts, something they figured only a mafia person would do. Turns out they were right. It was a small slip, but it was enough.

On the whole very well played, I don’t think anyone else saw it comming.

Thank you for sharing that. You’ve saved me many brain cycles trying to figure it out. I’ll have to go back through my posts to find where I slipped up. I’m glad it was a small thing that got me, at least it’s something I can try to avoid if/when I play this game again.

Hmm… I’m not sure that this one big game is lower-traffic or easier on the hamsters (sic) than two smaller ones would be. :smiley: But there is space on the first page-ful of MPSIMS threads to worry about, which is another scarce resource on the board.

Looks like Smitty is going to run afowl of the no lurking rule. I am putting out a call for people who might want to take over his role. Let me know if you are interested in jumping in. Former players are welcome to submit as well.

I don’t know if anyone out there is still actually following this game, but if you aren’t and you have a few hours to kill I highly recommend getting back in right now. It’s like the *Lord of the Flies * in there.

Damd. I’ll say…

:slight_smile:

This is one crazy game. With all these power-roles available it seems every early lynch is met with a role claim. I’m almost glad I was night killed so early so that I don’t have to wade through that mess.

BTW NAF1138, I’d volunteer to sub in for smitty but I don’t think it would look good if I did and failed to out all the Mafia, or fair if I did, so I don’t think you’d let me. :wink:

That’s true. You know to much to sub back in, sorry.

It finally looks like something more interesting is happening. That thread got too big and confusing even for those playing it before, but the last few pages are pretty good. Though I haven’t been following closely enough to know who’s likely to be right (though, barring an elaborate conspiracy, pimaspinner is almost certainly a cop regardless of FCOD’s position, as someone pointed out over there).
Minor nitpick - unless you’re giving them another hour of reprieve, NAF1138, you probably meant Pacific Daylight Time (PDT not ‘PST’). I only noticed it in a post you made a day ago, and I don’t think anyone’s confused at this point when the day will end.

Ah yes. Well then…uh. I do make mistakes. :smack:

Hi folks! It looks like I’ll be joining the ranks here in…oh, about 6 minutes. I think I’m technically breaking the rules by posting here prematurely, but what are they gonna do, kick me out of the game?

Mostly, I’m just killing time until my execution, after which I will post reams of “inside information” for your reading enjoyment.

Or not.

That was a funny lynching, Suburban

Meanwhile, I do find it interesting that there’s so much discussion over something that, well, I might or might not have done while I was in the game, and my reasons why if I did it.
