Mafia - Game in progress [Edited title]

[LightFoot]

From ** choie ** snipped and bolded

I was not focusing on our Vigilante . I was focusing on the third dude or dudette, telling us nothing we don’t know (a SK’s standard win con), but somehow wanting us to know that s/he knows there’s an SK. And as far as I’m concerned that’s gotta be Scum, because a Townie would’ve told us something of more value.

To be clear- it’s not the win con referenced in the third message it’s “ Scum can’t kill the SK “ which is not ‘standard’
For ** Astral **

Why did you never follow up on this thought and take a look through the thread for this potential near-death scum?

I have yet to find anything conclusive but I continue to ponder – just didn’t post more about it- actually I thought no one cared

[Astral_Rejection]

Could you post more about it? I care.

This comes with the standard “The messenger is not perfect” caveat, so please let me know if I’ve missed one.

There’s about an hour to go, assuming I’ve done my timezone conversions correctly.

I don’t suppose anyone has kept a post count for Day 2?

@Astral_Rejection

** chucara-

All ended the Day with some pressure-

some Scum approach the game fatalistically

“ they’re going to find me out and lynch me- I just know it”

D1 pressure amplifies that

I’ve already thrown rocks at ** chuc ** and I’m slowly digging in the gardens of the others

@fubbleskag

You’re right, you have repeated over and over why you think revealing early is better than later; and multiple people who are far more experienced mafia players than myself have pointed out why late claiming masons are more valuable to town. I’m curious why you’ve repeatedly ignored these people. There has to be a reason. I queried you based on the first two possible reasons I could think of. You keep saying you’re happy to answer questions and make clarifications, and yet for the most part you haven’t provided either. If you eventually flip town mason, I’ll be quite thrilled, but at this point I’m skeptical.

How new are you to the game of Mafia? Serious question. Your posts regarding the Mason claim do definitely ping my fish-o-meter (speaking of which, I’m surprised Meeko hasn’t accused you of fishing yet as he is quite fond of that particular accusation), but I’ve been giving you some room assuming you haven’t played a lot as it is a null tell between scummers/pfks, or eager information-hungry newbies, or information-hungry power roles to go fishing for information.

Another little nugget of advice that many experienced players will give you is to let Power roles play their role and you play yours. Whether it is Suburban who is actually a Townie Mason as he claims with some sort of perfect information that has him advocating an early reveal, or a stealthy band of Townie Masons staying quiet in spite of a scummy Suburban baiting them to claim and they are not taking the bait, it is often a good idea to give them some room to do so. They’re making informed decisions about their roles. It sucks when you can’t see into magic bags and black boxes, but that’s the game. Satisfying your burning curiosities shouldn’t be a high priority for anyone else.

Hold the phone. Is this a really weird mixup of Suburban with DiggitCamera, or did I miss yet another bit of important information and Suburban has also claimed Mason?

[Johnny_Bravo]

Suburban definitely didn’t claim Mason.

@Chucara

I won’t vote. You guys seems so set on lynching me that there is no reason for me to try to keep myself alive.

I’m not a fan at all of this recent trend of “Fine! You’re all determined to vote for me…I’m just gonna take my ball and go home then!” thinking…

Too late to vote for myself?

[ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies]

Yes that was a mix up. My bad. All questions to fubbs still apply.

[ComeToTheDarkSideWeHaveCookies]

<oog> I feel like I haven’t said much this cycle as work has had me burried, but I’m still up there in the fat head somehow. One of these days when we’re all on vacation or something I’d like to play a near-real-time game full of loquacious loudmouths such as myself, Pizza, RoOsh et al. I’d say that I’d also like to observe a game full of BillMc’s lobbing in grenades once a week, but I’m afraid I’d just take a month-long nap. I suppose it takes a village of unique snowflakes to make a good mixed game of both. </oog>

Too late by 2 minutes, according to my clock. But we can pencil you in for Tomorrow

[storyteller0910]

Dusk, Day Two

EXT – The Town square, as the sun sets. Choie stands atop the gallows, alone.

CHOIE
Hey, you guys – lynch me! I vote me!

She slides the noose around her own neck.

CHOIE
Look – look how well it fits! I vote me! Lynch me!

PAN ACROSS – The crowd. They look diffident.

CHOIE
OK, fine. Don’t lynch me. Chucara! I no longer vote me!

TEXCAT
Chucara! Let’s lynch Chucara!

DIGGITCAMARA
IALLC. That stands for I agree; lets lynch Chucara!

MAHALOTH
Quickly; the season premiere of Survivor is on tonight!

A flurry of activity. Chucara is led to the noose, earning a friendly pat on the shoulder as he passes Choie on the way up. Noose, trapdoor, swing, sunset… and nothing.

ASKTHEPIZZAGUY
Ha! Swing and miss! See, it’s a pun! Because he’s swinging, and you missed, and also it’s a metaphor… from a sport… that… won’t be invented for 200 years. Never mind.

Pizzaguy busies himself looking for a lost eyeball, which has popped out., as we FADE TO BLACK.

Chucara, a Peasant Redshirt, has been lynchified.

Night Two begins here, and will end on Saturday, February 9 at 2:00PM Eastern. Non-strategic discussion only from here until then. Thanks!

[choie]

Well that’s me fucked then. Sorry Chucara.

Godspeed, Chucara.

[Silver_Jan]

Crap, I wish he’d never made a pancake vote.

[Enderw24]

@Silver_Jan

Crap, I wish he’d never made a pancake vote.

HAHAHA

:: pulls out Scum to English Dictionary::

Holy crap everyone. Turns out “vote pancake” translates to “I am scum and I have clearly identified myself as such.”

::flip::

Interesting. “Vote Belgian Waffles” actually translates to “I have learned from the moderator who three of the scum are. Allow me to state them for you now”

Bad luck Chucara. You were so close.
