[Mafia game] The Realm of Phere

As far as I can tell, all anonymous actions are still anonymous. Who healed Guiri? Who protected PetW? Who attacked? All still unknown.

What does WIFOM stand for?

In efforts to vote to give items to those that I think are townies:
Vote Emerald Ring To choie
Vote Blue Pendant to Normal Phase
Vote Sapphire Ring to GuiriEnEspana

I think that the traitor will change his hidden triple vote again, probably try to time it so we can’t react. I don’t think that Astral Rejection will keep those votes. Why on earth would the traitor help lynch someone who is gathering votes and suspicion all on his own? I am tempted to vote for Astral, who likes smudging me, but I still have my doubts as to whether scum would get the timing of end of day so wrong on day one, so I am still hedging on him being town.

My day one vote was for Mahaloth, but it looks like he has pretty good out of game reasons for his non-participation, and he may be subbed out, so I need to do some more analysis tonight.

It’s a bit late for analysis. There’s a half-dozen cases out there to choose from already.

WIFOM = Wine in Front of Me, from the scene in Princess Bride.

FWIW, here’s a list of who’s voting for whom, and who hasn’t voted this round. Hopefully I haven’t messed it up like I’ve done every other damn list:

------- ACTUALLY TOO BUSY TO PLAY THIS ------

[del]Mahaloth[/del] - quit
[del]Drain Bead[/del] - quit


In summary I’ll state the obvious: there are way too many people in the “Not voting” category. I’d like to hear something from Drain Bead’s sub Believerer. And I probably should’ve included NAF in there but our GM claimed “abstain” counts as a vote, thus, so be it.

I’d be real surprised if the Day ends tomorrow with the 3 mystery votes on Astral. My guess is that there will be a last-minute vote change with those 3 mystery votes piling on to a different target.

That’s pretty much a no-brainer.

I have to say, after realitytrip’s “must do more analysis” deflection from actually voting just now I’m much more sympathetic to Astral’s semi-case on him from earlier. The thing is I’m not sure it actually says much of anything about Astral, even if it’s correct. (I know, by a few days from now I’ll have everybody scum with everybody. It seems to be one of those games. Sue me.)

Ugh it’s too late to think. I may change my vote when I wake up. Or not.

Because Suburban is voting me for my “magic bag,” yet my informant has contacted him and corroborated what I said about my hearing about this win condition from him. And Suburban hasn’t acknowledged that at all or bothered to change his vote, despite me being functionally the lead wagon.

That’s why Suburban is likely scum, and I’ll probably vote him when I get home.

Timing of all this?

oh. you actually TALKED to each other.

do you talk like this on the phone too? :eek: so weedy thinks your Town. what do you think of her?

Wine In Front of Me. it’s from the movie, “The Princess Bride.” you’ll have to research the clip as i don’t think we have permission to post links to stuff outside the game.

at any rate, it is a term to describe a situation which results in circular decision making. For example, in a game where there is an outed cop and a doc. the doc would be expected to protect the cop. scum would therefore kill someone else. the doc may think to protect someone else. scum then might target the cop. so it goes into infinite cycle.

No, I’m saying that Gadarene lied to get Fubbles lynched as the wealth win condition is not third party.

It’s WIFOM. Simple as that. Do we take Gad and Asstral (see what I did there? :p) as scum because they were saved by the wagon? Or we could consider that they were town and the scum did this to cause confusion and make us lynch them as townies. It’s a nulltell and its better to discount it fully.

There are no standard scum plays and there are no general town plays. All can apply generally at least most of the time. Though your last sentence is correct.

:smack: That’s not a very bright way of looking at things. I have no idea what the hell Emerald does but I will vote it to myself nonetheless. Basically it may provide an ability or wealth both of which is good. The above quote is obviously not true.

I said I didn’t have time to post, I had bags to pack and a plane to catch.

Besides her fascination with me, which she can use as a play to look townie as nobody likes the abrasive guy, the last post was crazy scummy. It doesn’t ring true to me, it sounds false and lying and scummy, etc.

This is another one of those posts which seem townie. Specifically because you have said jack shit at all but trying to look townie. I’ve seeing a lot of this here and this is useless information dressed up as town. I don’t like it, and if you continue any further along what you are doing currently, I will try to lynch you.

it makes me think there might be an unusually small number of scum, even one. this is some overpowered voting.

There would probably be more then one. Maybe a few groups of scum, possibly a serial killer and a mafia, who knows. We certainly can’t tell at the moment.

Yo Visorslassh (see what I did there?!!! I wanna be hardcore like you!!), I was responding to Normal’s request wondering I’m voting for fubbles. The post explained my reasoning for thinking fubbles seems off to me, tried to exonerate your utterly-worthless-to-town butt (exactly why, I do not know), asked questions, and tried to get answers from anyone who is actually trying to win the game for Town.

It’s called interacting instead of dropping obnoxious one-liners. All of which is a fuckton more than you’ve done since the game began.

Calm down.

This line in particular is worth looking at. You’re saying things, but you’re not acting on them, you’re ‘uncertain’ you don’t want to lead a lynch or vote a townie off or look bad in any way. You’re not committing to a lynch and your wording suggests scum to me. You aren’t making any decisions here, it’s fluff.

Unvote; Vote: Choie

** unvote **

** vote Suburban Plankton **

The hell? What do you mean I’m not committed to a lynch? I’m committed to lynching fubbleskag, whom I find the scummiest of the bunch. He has two votes,which means he’s tied with just about everyone (excluding Astral, and who knows where those extra votes are going to stick or not, and Gadarene). And I really don’t think Gadarene is scum, so nope, I’m not gonna vote for him. He seems like a frustrated Townie (and I sure know how he feels!) who’s not getting people to listen to him.

With there being so many nonvoters, the votes are quite spread out amongst the scheme of things. This means anything can happen, where a shift of two or three votes could make a huge difference. So I just don’t think my vote against fubbles is worthless.

Unvote: Astral Rejection
Unvote: Astral Rejection
Unvote: Astral Rejection

He’s been back since.

Oh great. What a coincidence. Gee, I wonder if someone is trying to make me look bad? Who could that be?

If the next three votes land on Visorslash’s head I’m going to call foul.

Your vote against Fubbles is ill reasonsed. If you think he is against the town by being third party, that is sketchy at best, and false at worst, and not a good reason to vote for him, though I suppose you could consider it a safe vote, considering he won’t be lynched. On the other hand if you are voting him for PMing people about business deals then that really is an anti town vote for which I am perfectly fine with voting you.

Now, in case the above does come true, I think I will pre-emptively: Unvote; Vote: Gadarene
