Oh good grief. The real deal is, without question, that I don’t know what I’m doing and being straight up is apparently not something done in this game. I am the same person online that I am anywhere else and unfortunately, I never considering being any other way. So, once again, I’m offering up my dossier (ha Hal!) because that’s what I would’ve done regardless of which side of the factions I fell on.
And ultimately, since I believe in doing the greatest good, I won’t even do what the evil little guy on my shoulder is hinting at… I’ll still oblige as suggested of letting out all the details when I’m offed. Because that’s going to happen no matter what, sooner than later.
Hope that helps, although I doubt it will and everyone will assume I’m pulling some scam. So be it, but at least I’ve tried.
<game off>If you were so inclined, you could go back and read the Mafia 2 thread which was my first game and laugh at my colossal fuck-up. We all started with a first game. We have all made mistakes. It’s not like you’ve posted something in the game thread instead of on the scum board! (heehee, couldn’t resist) Roll with it baby! Have fun.<game on>
So, you’re saying you found the lying scum in my little fake scenario? I thought you were joking and implying that I was scum (which is fine, I can take it)
Without giving away your secrets, which one is it?
I expect everyone to state their opinion on how we should handle the Dossiers. I think most of us would agree that avoiding the issue is very suspicious. At some point I’ll compile a list of what each player thinks we should do with the Dossier and anyone who hasn’t hazarded an opinion will be at the top of my vote list.
I also think we should all expose our Dossiers sooner than later, but I highly doubt we’re going to arrive at a consensus as to a method for sharing it. We’re already stuck in a situation where we each have to manage multiple categories of Dossier data:
[ul]
[li]Public data (mod-posted)[/li][li]Private data (mod-pm’d)[/li][li]Divulged data[/li][li]Townie death-scene data[/li][li]Scum death-scene data[/li][li]Public data that matches other players[/li][li]Private data that matches other players[/li]etc…
[/ul]
As such, I fear that we will have opinionated townsfolk willing and able to throw votes at people based solely on how other players weigh on in any number of the Dossier-related debates. Even though such votes might land on a scum now and then, I fear that quite often those votes will be townies voting for townies.
In order to try and inject some method to our madness, I will hold onto my dossier items in the hopes that the basketball randomization will get some more traction. But if we continue to just stew in our current rut of simultaneous debates for more than another day or two, I will probably just share it.
I too noticed faithfool’s statement, and the possible “out” that was provided by Mtgman. I’m inclined to agree with what has already been said, that from what I know of Mtgman he would not have gone out of his way to manufacture an alibi, even for a newbie. As such, I’m willing to give faithfool the benefit of the doubt. For now
(Public) I have walked along the shore of the Bay of Pigs.
My great-great-grandfather was a duke in Sicily.
I’ve travelled with royalty in torn T-shirt and jeans.
I believe that aliens are stealing my socks.
I believe that the Apollo moon landings were filmed in Hollywood.
I have memorized the entire “D” section of the dictionary.
I tried to construct a random order, but since Rysto and MHaye still haven’t decided whether or not to participate, it seems like it’s actually slowing the process down, which is why I went ahead and revealed mine.
Fine. Then I’ll put mine up and spoiler it in case anyone decides that This Was a Very Bad Idea after all.

Also, faithfool, don’t get discouraged on your first day in your first game. If it makes you feel any better, I’ve been lynched day 1 twice (once via dotchan), killed night 1 once, and forced to role-claim (one real, one fake) on day 3 twice.
I should just go ahead and change my user name to zuma v.2
I just got here (spending too much time at the Other Mafia Game) and want to weigh in to say that since two people already have found something that might be a pattern, I don’t think it will hurt to reveal the dossiers, and it might help, and I hope people continue the reveals.
I’ve been doing some research and comparing dossiers. I’ve found a pattern which everyone who’s revealed matches. Everyone but Zuma.
Here’s where I’m conflicted. If I’m right and Zuma is scum, why the push for dossier revelations?
Zuma, I believe that you have made up four of your traits. Either come clean with your real ones with an explanation why you lied about them, or I’m forced to vote for you.
