[Mafia game] The Realm of Phere

In the present game at IdleMafia guiri #1 was a PFK Serial Killer who killed two Scum in two attempts! So, while your comment may make sense, I’m not sure it’s clearcut.

[SPOILER]Does guiri #2 now regret the actions of guiri #1 at Idlemafia? :smack: :smiley: :rolleyes:

… just kidding.[/SPOILER]

We have only his word that he’s neutral, septimus. He’s admittedly not a Townie.

By the time Day rolls around on Saturday, it will have been 6 days since I last actually was playing the game. These long breaks are killing my continuity of thought and making the game far more difficult for me. I think I’m gonna be mafia’d out for a while after this.

Yeah, precisely, Astral. The two extra days after Dusk were basically proto-Night, so I think ending tonight or tomorrow night would be a relief.

@ choie, “Yay?” is my way to ask if Night is finished and whether we’ve won the game or killed a bad guy, in as few words as possible - a reflection of the amount of energy I’m willing to invest in this Night phase.

As for my suggestions to Gadarene, there’s nothing more to them, we’re at endgame so I would track story. If he does nothing, well OK, no need to be paranoid. If he takes an action, he’d better have an airtight excuse for his participation. If he’s dissuaded from taking an action due to the threat of being watched, well that’s fine too as he’s likely a baddie with no airtight excuse and therefore no action is pro-town. Inner would be a second choice.

@ Septimus, the game on Idle does not allow free communication outside the game thread so I will not respond.

This is now the second time you’ve assumed (or “joked”) about the game or phase being over when we haven’t had any notification to that effect. I guess I don’t understand it. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I do completely understand your flagging attention or motiviation, especially when the moderator himself publically states that his own attention’s flagging as well (and blames us for it – not exactly inspiring).

But speaking purely personally, I think it’s bizarre to post an assumption that Night or Day, much less the game as a whole, has been completed or won. Especially posting at some random time, as you did today. There was never a question that Night would end this morning, was there? Nor was there a question that we might win toNight, unless I’m greatly mistaken.

It’s just adding confusion, and that isn’t hugely helpful IMHO. This game’s waaaat confusing enough.

So in Yoda terms: Participate, or do not. There is no ‘yay’.

Why? Helping the scum team doesn’t benefit me so why would I do it?

As for the untrackableness, don’t blame me. It was already part of the role when I got it. I assume it’s an artifact of taking a class of ninja.

What’s your win condition, Inner? Apologies if you’ve already answered this.

But when I say this, choie, you accuse me of bitching.

Yeah, me too.

(I know we asked for a highly complicated game and that Askthepizzaguy has been busy at work, but nevertheless I have nothing to do at night.)

You and me both.

My present working hypothesis is that Pizza’s unavailability is due to his enrollment as a Psychology student and we are his test subjects in a game not too dissimilar from the Milgrim Experiment. There are no Scum at all in this game, helping to frustrate us.

Based on loss of civility by some players(*), I think Pizza’s experiment is successful and he may get a good grade on his paper.

(* - Put me at the top of the list, and let me apologize again.)

I can win if all threats to town are eliminated, or if I have the highest valued pile of loot.

You’ll have to judge me by my actions.

That would be an amazing twist. Pizza, re-write your game to make this a reality! :smiley:

I wonder if loss of sense of humor is a side effect.

:increases voltage

Because a significant portion of your participation has consisted of bitching, moaning and barking at others in oversensitive indignation every time someone even hints at questioning your motives. Good lord, earlier you even bitched at being resurrected, which boggles the mind because you could have just said “no, I’ve been in Parma and I’ve been in the grave, and overall I prefer the grave.” I highly doubt pizzaguy dragged you unwilling out of the depths of Tartarus or wherever you were hanging out. So why the hell did you agree to it then if you hate this game so much?

(The better question is why anyone resurrected you in the first place, though I grudgingly admit it’s better to have a Townsperson – assuming you remain Town – alive rather than dead.)

Truth is, you were a pain in the pedeshva before you died, and death hasn’t improved you much as far as I can see. (And that goes double for your Evil, high-fiving twin who shouldn’t be posting in this thread anymore considering he’s dead.)

Astral, OTOH, has been both useful to town and friendly, gave a pretty calm and helpful speech when it was clear he was being railroaded into a lynch, and has come back from the other side pretty chipper and most of all, contributive. So he gets the benefit of the doubt. Guiri is getting some benefit of the doubt from me too, but it’s waning after that stunt he pulled on Sunday, and then repeating it today. (Not that it really matters a jot to whom I’m giving the benefit of the doubt, I’m not queen of the game, but you asked, so I’m telling you.)

Look, morale here sucks. I am as susceptible to the low morale as anyone else, and frankly the only ones who can save us from this are pizzaguy by pushing things forward and getting back to being more proactive as a moderator despite his own inclinations and disappointments, and ourselves for agreeing to stop carping at each other like a bunch of fishwives especially those of us who are on the same goddamned side (unless, again, you took some alternate path that apparently pizza has been offering to deadies).

So instead of you constantly bringing up crap when I’m not even TALKING TO YOU like “oh so clearly you don’t like anything I write choie” or “oh but choie said THIS when I said the same thing!” – like Applegate Skinner or whatever that bratty kid’s name was from Trumpet of the Swan – for fuck’s sake can you just get over it and just play the friggin’ game?

In return I promise not to address another thing to you as long as we both shall live.

I know “skimming is a scum tell” but the fact is that I cannot remember a single post by Gadarene that struck me as rude.
OTOH, some of choie’s recent posts could have used some deep breaths, countings-to-ten, and judicious editing.

You must not remember Gadarene’s frothiness before he was killed. In fairness, I think that was back in the 1970s or so, so it’s understandable.

Guess this is another Night I’m shutting down. See ya.

I had no choice in being resurrected, as far as I know.

fuck me. guess it’s a good thing I’ve got that scepter - the one attack that squeaked through nearly killed me you sonsofbitches!

I got confirmation from pizza that the single successful attack was me. No more confusion on that issue.

… uh, no hard feelings, fubsie :smiley:
