Newbie 1455: How We Met The Mafia (Game Over!)

[MauriceMoss]

Oh I think I read a vote twice, is that L-2?

[MauriceMoss]

mod: my voting is out of order, pieisgoo's unvote should be after taco and before TC

[MauriceMoss]

VOTE: Teedy. There we go. Keep your eyes on Maurice.

VOTE: Maurice

We are doing this today.

Thanks for your baseless votes. I particularly enjoy the detailed analysis that went into them.

[MauriceMoss]

Well it's all gone quiet, either people have faded or there's an air of trepidation about dropping the hammer, just drop it, it'll show me to be bog standard Vanilla Townie anyways, no exceptional use to Town in the grander scheme of things, so happy to go to show the rest of you out there exactly how quick and how devoid of substance this wagon was.

How Acidic has lied yet is voting me for pushing he may have

How Rach has lurked and only when pinned down comes up with awful excuses for a wagon about how I should be voting Acidic even though it's been covered multiple times already in the thread that no one else was going to vote.

Strangely for me how Dessew voted for me for coming off the TC wagon, when his post further compounds what I already felt about TC myself.

TC is Town, ignore that vote on me, it's clear, Moss is Town for me too but that truly is just a gut at this juncture.

its been a good game, a little quiet in places, but to all the newbies learning, one thing to take on board is that

Scum Hunting at times looks ropey, because scum hunters are ACTIVELY going after people to get results for the good of town. Sometimes they are wrong, sometimes they come across as aggressive, sometimes they come across as desperate and other times plain crazy, but just remember if they are hunting/voting/challenging owt out of the norm then they are usually Town on the hunt for scum.

Don't be afraid of dropping the hammer, fuck the bullshit of 'intent' I'm the Town sacrifice this day phase and I doubt I can stop it.

Good luck Town

Who are actually still newbs in this game? Just me? TC?

techking45 T S O

JasonWazza - tso asked for claims in bold - jason posted about reading through a couple days then no other comments. town read on tso (although voted for me) jason never voted
5. TwilightsCall* - wasn't lynched even with steam behind it but rereading day 1 I get a town vibe.
6.

drmyshotgun (SE)

, Skelda - having a hard time getting a read on both dms and skelda. Feels scummy but could just be pushy town.
7.

Bitmap (SE)

*phokdapolees - thoughtful ornery posts and then just one post from phok (although went vla)
8. Dessew (SE) - before reading through seemed like helpful logical posts but after reading through day 1 I get a weird vibe. Would like to hear more.
9. RachMarie (IC)** - a few towny posts but most of her few posts are about not being active

Definitely still willing to lynch rach if not just for inactivity and much of her activity defending her inactivity.

And with this I'll work and hope day 2 picks up. I really wish we wouldn't have killed off someone who actually contributed (and nk'ed another one) We are going to end up with an afk game.

[MauriceMoss]

^that's reading through day 1. Anyone else care to go mafia hunting?

[DoctorPepper]

Due to problems regarding the stability of the site, I am extending the deadline. A two day extension shall be granted, partially because i don't want it to be on New Year's day because we may not have people here. Prod counters have been reset and prods WILL go out if necessary after 48 hours from this post.
The deadline is Thursday, January 2, which is in (expired on 2014-01-02 20:00:00)

[Skelda]

Okay, so every time I've tried to come on, the site has been down. Sorry about that.

Maurice babbling to himself is actually pretty town. It isn't like I've never seen Mafia put an enormous amount of effort into the game to seem town, but I usually see that coming from more experienced newbies so I'm starting to have doubts about my scumread.

Meanwhile, Twilight was awfully fast to jump on my vote.

[MauriceMoss]

Hey!! I wasn't babbling!!

Yes I wonder if tc was the right call initially.

[phokdapolees]

I still think it's Rach, but Skelda does make a very good point about Twilight's vote. VOTE: Rach

[MauriceMoss]

I'm happy with a each vote for all the reasons I've mentioned. Utr/afk (before the forum problems) which is bad for town and could signal mafia.

vote rach[\b]

[MauriceMoss]

vote rach

[MauriceMoss]

Aw I forgot about the vote code

Bad autocorrect on the "each vote" should be rach

[TwilightsCall]

I think my #214 was sufficient enough reasoning for voting Maurice coming out of the gates. It makes more sense in context, but I'll post some highlights for you. These are all talking about Maurice, obviously.

But you know what? Let's pretend I am calling him scummy for just posting facts and questions. I can still argue that as scummy if you'd like, its not that hard. Providing Information Instead of Analysis seems like a recognized scum strat, it even has an entry on the wiki! Granted, it's example is more for setup speculation than Maurice was doing, but the idea is the same. Posting lists of information - things we all already know - and not posting any opinions or reasoning looks like an attempt to look useful to the town while not actually being useful.

But looking back over your posts, my mind isn't changing much. You still hopped on the wagon against me for no discernable reason, following someone else who likewise gave no discernable reason for voting me. Your #145, #155, and #184 are clear examples of fence sitting (something I was called out for earlier, so I would know!), and while your dedication to seeing a lynch follow through on day 1 is admirable, you aren't supposed to lynch someone for no reason at all.

And as a bonus, my read list from #203:

Scummy: MauriceMoss
Leaning Scummy: TeedyKay, Bitmap
Null: TSO, drmyshotgun, RachMarie
Leaning Town: Dessew, Taco

I'll forgive you this time for not reading back through the whole day to see this, but lets try not to jump to conclusions in the future, mk?


Aside from that, I agree that Rach is giving bad vibes, but I'm not sold on the lynch yet. Currently mulling over how scummy I think her votes on me and TeedyKay were.

[RachMarie]

ugggh site has been down again and again.

Plus have been getting things sorted for our trip.

We will have our laptops and kindles with us, and there is internet there. However most of tomorrow (Friday) NS and I will be tied up with getting to TN (including flying there). So V/LA for tomorrow and on Dec 30th (for flying back home), but other than that should be able to be active.

[MauriceMoss]

So what is your opinion on the game, rach?

[Dessew]

MM: how were Bitmap's posts thoughtful?
Actual content post will come later.

[DoctorPepper]

Skelda, phokdapolees, and JasonWazza have been prodded

[Skelda]

Nothing is happening.

VOTE: Twilight

[TwilightsCall]

It's pretty frustrating when 3 out of every four times I try to check the thread the site is down. I can kind of understand why things have ground to a halt.

If I can get to the site tomorrow, I'll try and get that content post out that I was promising.

[JasonWazza]

Post, content will likely come tomorrow.

[MauriceMoss]

Supposedly the upgrades have fixed it so maybe we can get going again.

[DoctorPepper]

Bump.

[DoctorPepper]

Bump?
