Forbidden Thread for Mafia: Simpletown

[QUOTE=chrisk]
Wasn’t M1 the werewolf one? I thought that was a scum win - I was watching it, and remember the description given of the few remaining scum turning into wolves at dusk and setting upon the surviving town.
[/QUOTE]

That was M2, I think, which was also a werewolf-themed game. M1 was definitely a town win. sturmhauke, as the Seer, definitely played a large role in that. M2 was the one where storyteller as the Godfather sold out all his teammates for the win.

M2 was a Mafia-themed game, but NAF had the winning Mafia turn into Werewolves at the end.

I don’t want the game to devolve into some sort of mind-game of “did that vote count?” or “I left off vote on purpose to manipulate the vote.” Not that any of you would try and manipulate the game in such a way
[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that’s only acceptable in the off-board three-handed games. :slight_smile:

That was a beautiful move in three handed.

And yeah - I screwed up in recruiting mafia, but I continue to maintain it wasn’t scum commiserating, just my town half posting his real thoughts. That, and I killed the wrong person at the start. But suspicion was already starting to turn my way for being generally quiet.

Ah well - I had fun.

Yeah, but even if it was your “town half,” you were only able to feel “bad” about the dotchan lynch because you KNEW she was town. No townie can be 100% certain about any lynch, barring an investigative role with no percentage of failure.

Game’s a bit slow, but it’s to be expected since it’s the weekend, I suppose.

I’m rapidly reaching the point where I’m 100% certain that anybody I lead a lynch against is Town…

I was, as scum, basking in the revelation of power roles (until I decided I wanted to shoot myself over the flip-a-coin-wifom), which meant that whether or not she came up scum, as a townie I would have been pissed.

Thanks! It’s the type of move you can only get away with in three handed mafia and I don’t think it will ever work again.

But it was fun. :smiley:

It would be fun if someone created an archive of sorts for the mafia games

All other games can be found on the off-board site (which is down at the moment, so expect an error message for a bit…)

Thanks for confirming that it is not necessarily my employer trying to lock me out of the off-board site. Always a lingering fear…:wink:

And thank you for confirming the same for me. :slight_smile:

And thank you both for making me feel better. I was getting worried.

Yes - the downness of the offboard site makes me sad. I know that you all are plotting to lynch me!

Now I feel like I jinxed us all by saying I preferred the OB site because it was always up :smack: . Well and the search, which I still prefer

I’ve made the homeless inmates a temporary home here.

What’s really ticking me off about it was how much work I had to do today…I was all jazzed about the fact that I wouldn’t be on there for several hours, so there’d be lots of new content for me to pour through and analyze. Grrr…
My, we’re certainly the little hijackers today, aren’t we?

Hal: your list forgot to include Mafia: The Conspiracy , and its associated thread.

How couldyou forget that one? It’s where I’m at my most sexiest!

I haven’t been able to contact Idle Thoughts, so there is no spoiler board to play in.
If not knowing details is causing you sleepless nights, send me a PM.

I am sure someone here can set you up with a proboard if you want it. (I don’t know how these things work myself, but I am told it is fairly simple.)

If I were a player, I’d be haranguing the mod about this (via PM of course): sach, exactly how are you evaluating “substantive” posts? It sounds like one of those fuzzy rules that I dislike.

I think I’ll watch this one without perfect knowledge. I’ll see how well I can detect scum without being in the game.

With 16 players, I expect there’s 4 scum. That’ll mean the town can afford 3 mislynches and 1 no-lynch. If there’s 5 scum, it’ll be 3 mislynches and 0 no-lynches. That’s hard, so there’s probably about 3 power roles (counting masons as 1 power role).

My guesses for most likely scum: hmm, no guess yet. Day 1 is always tough.
