It’s not working.
Ugh… DarkOliveGreen? :eek:
Actually, that had slipped my mind when I put the rules together. I see no real reason to prohibit it, so if people want to vote No-Dunk, then if No-Dunks have the most votes at the end of the Day, then I’ll allow it.
For it is written in the Book of Nairu, chapter 8 verse 19: “Thou shalt not get thy panties in a bunch on Day 1, for that brings folly and much grimacing of faces.”
Mine eyes have read our progress, and NAF is acting like a sinful cultist. His list was fraught with errors. Dunk him! Dunk him lest we suffer Her Wrath!
Dunk NAF
Nairu loves those who speak for themselves. Remember this.
Sorry, I can’t resist… it’s got to be one of the all time greatest movie scenes.
Of course, I stole it from The Princess Bride (1987) - Quotes - IMDb.
It is with great joy that we have defeated the ‘master plan’ of a certain Magic Player, as the hearts of men are vile and filled with deceit. Only dunking brings the truth.
Nairu bless us, and give us the strength to slay the cultists, whose lives are worthless and who upon death shall lick the nutsack of Sekham for all eternity, Amen.
(If this current role-playing pisses off too many people, let me know and I’ll think of a new one :p)

I have no idea what you are trying to say here, but it’s typical unhelpful Auto.
And pray tell how should I be of service on Day One?
FoS on you for your consistent and multi-game dislike for me.
Re: dunking non believers
Yes, the Alchemist is one of the non believers, but the Alchemist investigates as the Alchemist and so can be confirmed as town. The vanilla non believers invstigate as scum (or rather, scum investigate as vanilla non believers). If someone close to being dunked claimed to be a non believer, would you really find that believable?
Heh, consistency is something I believe in!
Look, M2 you were unhelpful because you interpreted the rules wrong.
M4 you were unhelpful because you were using it as a scum strategy.
M5 you’re saying some fortune cookie stuff that means nothing, and your vote was, while hell, I’m not arguing with it, barely explained. You can do analysis just fine, we’ve all seen it, and when you got serious in M3 it was valuable stuff you posted. When you deliberately choose to not offer anyhelp, then, yeah, I’m not going to like it, and since you operated against the benefit of the town the last two times you played this way, what the heck else am I supposed to think about?
Oh, and I want to remind you that I was one of the ones who defended your not posting in M3. I didn’t like it, but Forget that little nugget, did we?
For consistently playing against the benefit of the town, and for choosing to offer fluff instead of analysis, and for taking grudges
Huh? Then why does a few of Blaster Master’s posts at the beginning say the Alchemist would investigate as a non-believer? :dubious:
Damn, hit send there by accident. Let me do that last part again.
Oh, and I want to remind you that I was one of the ones who defended your not posting in M4. I didn’t care for it, but I defended it. Forget that little nugget, did we? You were the one who turned intentional lurking into a scum strategy. Do not be shocked and hurt when it comes back to haunt you.
For consistently playing against the benefit of the town, and for choosing to offer fluff instead of analysis (you never did explain what that comment to me meant), and for taking grudges across games, I am going to vote Autolycus.
Dammit, I also meant “M2” in post 691 when I accidentally said M3 - that was the game Auto actually posted non-“in character” analysis.
I think it’s bedtime.
In reply,
This wasn’t meant as a nothing statement, just a way of saying “I expect everyone to vote each game day”. However, it seemed to rub some people the wrong way.
This is my first Mafia game and I found posting a bit daunting at first, which is one reason I waited before starting to post (I also spent a while trying to figure out how to organise my various spreadsheets/charts/notes etc).
So far the most suspicious thing I’ve seen is the bizarre Malacandra-zuma exchange (posts 546 and 547). Mal’s post was pretty crazy, but zuma’s happy acceptance of it was completly unexpected. So vote zuma.
Dang, you’re right, the Alchemist also investigates as non believer. So yes, the Alchemist can’t be confirmed.
But my point still stands: how much credence can you give to a claim of Alchemist/non believer?
Constantly playing against the benefit of the town? Yes, indeed I fucked up in M2. I was scum in M4, and I played my role well. I suppose I should have just said from the get-go “Hey everybody I’m a pirate,” and helped the town out in order to protect myself against specious arguments like this.
Anyway, I’m not holding a grudge. That would appear to be you, as you didn’t think it was necessary to explain your beef with me in detail until after I complained. You criticized my present performance based upon my previous play, which might not be holding grudges but it’s certainly not helpful. I’m also not the one switching my vote out of irritation. I guess that’s what you consider 'helpful? ’
My “speak for thyself” comment was a reply to your “Autolycus has annoyed a lot of people” remark. I think it was more accurate to say “Autolycus has annoyed me a lot over the past few games.”
I’ll counter your “you didn’t explain your comment” and raise you a response to my question, “How should I be helpful on flippin’ Day One.”
Neiru damnit, I’m willing to let this be water over the dam, but your lust to take me out of the picture soon strikes me as a scum trying to eliminate me without spending a night kill. Out of your three reasons to lynch me, the first is flawed and the second two are hardly reason to kill anyone, although since is the first day I guess any reason is good right? Besides, you know I can be an assett whichever side I’m on, and you know that you have a good chance of offing me with your “unhelpful Auto” comments. It’s a good thing I finally started posting, or you would have probably gotten away with it this time.
So, strong FoS on you, and possible vote change later.
I’ve been contemplating my vote, mostly because MtS has not been back to post anything in response to the accusations, which is what I am waiting for in order to decide whether to keep my vote where it is or move it according to my other suspcions. 3 in the morning after a night out with friends is probably not the best time to be thinking about anything, but re-reading NAF’s last post directed towards me, it seems rather belligerent, which is slightly coloring my interpretation of it. I feel like I was raising a legitimate concern, which was answered with a “sucks to be a newbie, don’t tell me what to do” type of answer. On the other hand, I am inclined to think that aggressive responses are something that scum would avoid, at least at this point in the game. Which is why I am also still suspicious of zuma’s nonchalant reaction to Mal’s vote.
Eh. I’ll sleep on it and hopefully my head will be clearer in the morning.
Very little: The thoughts that (1) the Oracle can’t tell between Nonbeliever and Cultist; (2) the Nonbelievers don’t know who each other are; (3) there’s a lot of pro-town power roles, even if we assume that there’s only one player holding each role. That leads me to speculate that the game balance may be sufficiently hazy that Glorious GM Blaster Master has a way of tuning the balance. For the record, I consider my speculation on this to be of negligible usefulness.
But I never speculated that the secret role may be an attack role. Where are you inferring that from?
In other news – Autolycus, I’m glad to see you show up in the thread, and I like seeing people play characters. As entertaining as your characterization is, I’d appreciate some useful analysis, strategizing, or some other sort of post that I can learn from.
Nava will be taking the place of Captain Carrot. I will post an updated player list presently.
