Give it time, folks, give it time.
Nope, the three cover roles that scum got were Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, and Minerva McGonagall. All were major characters that were deeply involved in the intrigues of the series but not on the same plane as Ron or Hermione.
I can sub if you still need some.
You are on the sub list Inner.
And Ron wasn’t in Potter mafia at all, oddly enough. I think Hermione was vanilla, too.
Odd that none of this handshaking stuff happened in Potter. Different crowd, I guess.
Interesting to me, though, but I’m spoiled, like story and sach.
I’m glad I didn’t take part (after reading a couple of pages)-compared to Diplomacy this game would turn me into a raving basket case in short order-I can see myself constructing a wall of clues, using string to connect various statements together, staying up to 4 am perusing them over and over while drooling copiously, thus porking my work performance. I don’t know how the rest of you do it.
Kind of like that.
Yeah, I read the first few pages of the game thread and then lost interest because I don’t find this “handshake” stuff interesting. That, and the large number of posts that were basically just “Hey, remember that thing that happened in some other Mafia game [often on another forum]?”
I had been tempted to sign up for the LOTR game after avidly following the recent Harry Potter game, but I’m glad I didn’t. And that’s not a criticism of the game design or moderation, I just would have found this style of playing and conversation to be boring and irritating. This would have been my first Mafia game, and if I ever do play one then I want to actually play the game.
Can I get spoiled? Like Snickers I am mafia newb and would like to see how things are playing out while they happen.
I agree with Lamia and if this sort of discussion continues, I’m thinking about withdrawing my name from the sub list because I don’t find it interesting or fun.
(That being said, I’m pretty drunk right now, so take my opinions with a grain of salt.)
What is SAHM as used by MHaye in post 531? Stay at Home Mafia, i.e. Mafia in person?
Sauron And His Minions.
Ah. Thank you.
I’d wait a bit before withdrawing names from subbing list.
The whole game won’t be like this.
Another ignorant question: what is PIS?
Perfect Information Syndrome or a Perfect Information Slip. When a player inadvertantly reveals something they shouldn’t know if they were vanilla town.
Thank you.
In addition, of the Nine, Boromir could easily be a third party even if Mahaloth is staying quite close to canon.
Keep following the game. I can sense they are already moving past some of that opening stuff and getting to the game.
Sure. I’ll PM you the directions.
Will be very interesting to see what Mahaloth has done with the setup. Maybe another member of the fellowship will succumb to temptation in this one. Lots of scope for 3rd parties as well (Gollum, Saruman, Shelob).
I haven’t been following the game closely as I don’t find the handshake discussion very interesting or productive, but I’m toying with the idea that scum might be using to to fish. It’s pretty useless for town, as they will never know if scum have a sample role PM or not, but scum could use it to handshake with vanillas.
Am I right in saying Chronos has revealed he knows the the name of another player? That’s curious, Chronos is on record as being dead-set against soft claims.
Mahaloth, I am a Mafia newbie who would have (porbably unwisely) volunteered for this game had I noticed it in time. I’m very confused by both this game and the Harry Potter one, which are the only Mafias I’ve ever seen. I’d like to be spoilered please. Could you send me directions?
