You-Snark-It Forbidden Thread (Mafia Discussion)

I don’t know about name length, but having the user name of the largest (and ugliest…don’t let the handfull of token pictures of the victorian mansions fool you) town in my home county of Humboldt, upon which the television show of the same name is loosely based is certainly worth at least a vote on Day 1 out of principle. :wink:

I’m not quite sure how I feel about affecting peoples dreams via Mafia… :eek:

What does NETA mean? It’s not in the wiki glossary that I’ve been using for these things…

Both arise from the fact that editing your post is a modkillable offence.

Thanks!!

Pleonast may be worried about getting night killed toNight, but if I were scum, I think I’d go for zuma instead. He’s very obviously town at this point, giving very good analyses, and moreover, I think all the other townies trust him as well. There’s no way scum could convince anyone to lynch him at this point. Pleo may be a strong power player as well, but he seemed strangely uninvolved in the HazelNutCoffee lynch compared to earlier in the game. I honestly forgot he was still around until his night post. Assuming he’s town, that can hurt him; scum could easily use that to throw suspicion on him and paint him scummy. There’s even been a little bit of suspicion on him before, too. Probably won’t be enough to lynch him though, as others are topping people’s suspicion lists way over him.

Brewha seems to be exonerated now, with the HNC lynch. Though it could still be possible that they’re both scum and played an elaborate and risky game; attack eachother constantly, one of them finally gets sacrificed, and the other looks like a perfect townie. Not sure if the scum are that creative to have tried that here, but it’s an interesting possibility nonetheless.

This game is fascinating.

This game is certainly interesting. It’s the first that I’ve followed. (Though, I did read the werewolf game.)

Something seems strange with Sachertorte. I don’t know what it is, though.

Well, hello y’all.

This game is proof positive that I suck at being scum. :stuck_out_tongue: The good part is, despite my demise I’m pretty sure the remaining scum have a fighting chance. Especially the way things are going now.

The dossiers were an interesting element in the game, although at this point people seem to be ignoring them, more or less. They did spark a lot of debate in the beginning, which was fun (although any talk of numbers makes me grumble. :: coughPleonastcough :: ) I have to admit, if I’d known more about the system I don’t think I would’ve signed up. It’s an interesting game structure but my personal preference would be the more traditional one with a few power roles thrown in for good measure. Not that I didn’t have fun in this one - just if I had my druthers, as they say. I’m interested in what the other players think as well.

Dammit! That game is already the first thing I check when I log onto the boards (seventeen times a day…). Now my finger is going to be stuck on the Refresh button from here on out. If I wasn’t having so much fun trying to figure things out msyelf, I’d practically be begging for the info for the Perfect Knowledge thread.

Not that I hope to see the scum win (I think… still undecided actually), I do hope your comment suggests they’re being far more cunning than anyone realized. I’ve seen all kinds of potential for truly sneaky tactics, and am dying to know if any were actually used.

So how does one get spoiled on this game? I didn’t want to while i was playing off-board on the off chance I’d try to start meta gaming, but I 'd like to see whats going on here :slight_smile:

You make a post like the one you just made.

PM on it’s way.

Is there a perfect knowledge thread? Can I have a linky?

Yes you can. PM on it’s way.

Hell, me too?

So, what does everyone think of Hawkeye’s newest arguements?

Even if they make sense (and I honestly don’t quite follow them still), I really don’t think they belong in this game. That sort of thing is precicely the reason why I’d like to see an all-newbie game; any talk about “you’re behaving differently here than you are in this other game” causes significant metagaming problems, I think.

What I’m still puzzling over, though, is how exactly are they convinced that Faithfool is town, based on the last clue not matching her dossier? Aren’t there two scum left, still?

This is a very good idea. On mafiascum they have a new players forum where there are 2 vets (who are there to help teach) and, if I remember correctly, 6 newbies.

Wonder if we could get the same sort of thing going on here? We probably wouldn’t need the vets, just a smaller game open to players who have only played in 0-1 games.

Wasn’t there something awhile back about having a game where newbies paired up with more expierenced players to learn the ropes? Though I haven’t played, it seems as though this is a very complicated game. It looks like Hawkeye is just trying to assimilate what he knows about the game and the players to make the best decision he can. And, NAF, it does seem like you started this line of arguement with a comment in the other game. Are you a new player?

Ah hah…here’s the forbidden thread…I kept forgetting to check this out. Anyway…

As soon as I read this:

…I became sure that Rysto is scum. That 100% reads to me like scum saying “Hey fellow team scum member – if two townies mis-vote, make sure to insta-hammer along with me!”

You know you want to come to the perfect knowledge boards…
