Mafia Reunion - Day One

And what makes you think this? Do you think I know this? I’ve never played with him before, that I can recall. I did kibitz a few games he played in, but I really wasn’t paying all that much attention to most individual posters.

And if you’re sure this is how townie septimus acts, how is this different from scummy septimus. How does scummy septimus act? You seem to be the expert on it, so enlighten me.

Is he the same guy who goes to pot lucks with a bag pre-popped commercial bought popcorn?

I’m not suspicious of you, I think you’re genuinely tying to solve the game. Scum Septimus is very cautious, he watches his words and posts carefully. In fact he usually writes long posts and has his scum team check them for acceptability before posting.

Can I be so egotistical as to state I think it’s simply because you dared to mention me in front of Pleonast?

I find the parts that he deemed “irrelevant” to correspond exactly with the parts that he misrepresented or made up.

I agree with you that scum can’t afford to ignore context, particularly in this game when there are two scum teams. (If you’re Mafia you’re going to want to see how the wolves can gain the upper hand, and vice versa.)

And I’m fighting so hard for three reasons, non of which are me being any type of scum:

  1. We’re down one town already and with two scum teams I’m concerned about our numbers.
  2. I pride myself on my scum game, and what I’m being accused of would be really, really crappy scum play. (It may be crappy town play too but that doesn’t bother my ego.)
  3. I feel like I’m being gaslit by his willful disregard of everything I’m actually saying.

Angel, it seems to me that you could have just read the rules. It would take about one-tenth the amount of time you’ve spent arguing about it.

Take this how you want, but I feel you vote Republican.

Who is the He, here? Squid? Because a part of me feels I’m the target of your “He”.

I would have done by now had I been able to find them.

You’re not the target at all. I was speaking to you but in reference to Boozahol Squid.

I assume you missed this on your first read!

Thanks, it was a bit unexpected, sorry if I ruffled a feather.

I see you’ve since unvoted, and I said votes were free, but was that a poke vote, a vote for the sake of it, a vote because you think he’s scum, or a do what I say not what I do vote?

No, you’re right, the alignment is either Town, Mafia or Werewolves.

Do you go by a different name elsewhere?

I’m not feeling the case on septimus, the unvote and defense looks bad, but doesn’t feel bad.
I liked Chronos’ #450, Suburban’s sounding reasonable.
I am still comfortable with my vote on Colby, #478 and #497 sort of seal the deal for me.
I disliked Johnny B’s FOS but, short of hall monitoring, not seeing scum motivation
I’d vote Prof. P for active lurking plus voting the wrong player, Plumpudding for active lurking and then voting Biotop and Prof. P for doing it, ToeJam for N0 and going quiet after, raventhief for a series of one-liners and little else, Boozy of the vote in #540 for being irritated.
Who is Angelofthenorth, I thought s/he was a noob but apparently not?
Bufftabby, a ping, Drain too.

Hey, I linked to his D1 posts to date in #388, I’ll wait here till you get back with an opinion.

@Plum, about “BUT there was a 5-out-of-6 chance for the shallow end of the pool containing at least one Scum.”, is that in 5 games out of 6 there was at least one scum in the bottom 25% of voters, or something else entirely?

This is not the place for personal insults.

Hmmm. I have trouble figuring out if this is or isn’t a post like that.
Also I have a problem with players saying stuff like “I know this style. It’s townie”.

The real issue for me is, that when we bring all the semi-information into the game we run a risk of tainting the in-game-data.

“I don’t see the case because Player A always do that”

We all do it. I do it myself. We ignore Idle claiming vanilla and Meeko for writing in meekish.

And I know we can’t avoid it totally.

But I don’t recall - EVER - having played in a game where so many players did it on behalf of others.

Is it Scum-tell? Is it snuggling?

No. But it’s as valid as me posting stuff like:
I don’t need to be worried about bufftabby Day 1, because in every game we play together one of us is out by start of Day 2.

Is that valid? I can prove it to be true in sooo many games.

But it’s not data in THIS game.

And get of my lawn. Youngsters :wink:

And it must be awful for a new player to try to make sense of it all. But with 55 players, it may be a coping mechanism - so and so sounds like always, not going to worry about him right now…

“I’m voting for Player X. Why? Eh…”
I think we may be zeroing in on why people continue to find your play suspicious

I believe that the rules are on storyteller0910 profile page.

I have a question, which may have been answered. It’s for the group, but mods may also participate. There are several instances in the role document that refer to “third parties”. The role investigators, such as the Seer can receive a “third party” result for example. Do we have any information on what the third party (or parties) might be?

Also, sorry to ask this, but I’ve checked online and “full of shit” doesn’t seem to fit the usage I’m seeing here - what is FOS in the game context? :confused:

One more question, while I have everyone’s attention. What is the protocol as the week closes: is it common to publicly re-assess your vote choice and present your argument?

HookerChemical did an assessment that reflects fairly accurately where I still stand on ToeJam. (Thank you kind sir)

What about the other “candidates” on the lynch list? Should we also be presenting any sort of assessment of our thoughts on their guilt or innocence?

Angel, for example. I don’t know what’s going on. In any other thread, I’d call it inability to let an argument die. She stated something that could easily be attributed to a work/life situation. She could have easily asked for help in taking care of it (link to rules, roles, stated when she could get to it, whatever), but instead it’s like she’s going for suicide for mob or mod. I can’t tell if she’s town or scum, but she’s making it irrelevant.

Would this sort of assessment about Septimus or Johnny Bravo be appropriate as the week closes?

I’m sure I’ll have a few more questions as the week closes. Thanks everyone for letting me join the reunion. :slight_smile:

FOS = “Finger of Suspicion”

It is pointed at the person whose behavior is not quite vile enough to warrant a lynch vote, but who must be called out as someone to keep a careful eye on…

@Suburban, sounds like frustration to me.
@SunnyDaze, FOS=finger of suspicion, there’s a mafia wiki.
We know what the rules say about third parties, there are some, but it’s secret, some may steal the win and win alone, others may share the win with whoever else wins the game. The color suggests there are 4 third parties but that could be misinformation.
Do what makes you feel comfortable, there no hard and fast rules, but as the week progresses, you should have much more information to help form suspicions which may result in a new vote, or reinforce your original one. Sharing your thoughts can help others get a read on you, bring attention to players that others may not notice, and if you are town and get killed or lynched, leave valuable honest input.
