I wonder as to the title of this game. Is Minas Tirith the setting and should we focus on happenings around that part of the book for the most part? Or did Mac just get tired of calling it LOTR mafia...

Nope, I can confirm it is IN the city of Minas Tirith, although there are things that are done outside.

Oh, and by the way:

Without saying why for now.

Flying Dutchman · Post Post #66 (isolation #4) » Thu Dec 11, 2003 1:08 am

I have information that ZoneAce, Dragon Pheonix, Thoth and Tigris have been on the same place this night, although not necessarily on the same time. As DP was killed, I suspect one of the others of that.........

Flying Dutchman · Post Post #80 (isolation #5) » Thu Dec 11, 2003 8:21 am

Time to explain something........

I'm a gateguard, and i'm not revealing my role name yet, that can be useful later in the game.

Each night I can watch one of the seven gates, 1 being the lowest, 7 being the highest.

This makes me think there are tasks outside the city, otherwise watching gate 1 would be useless

This night, I decided to watch Gate 6, and the persons I named before went through.

By this I have solid evidence they were doing some kind of night action that night

It is also likely, but not necessary, that one of them killed DP.

Doc's, protect me

(By the way, i'm kinda new to this game, and i'm not sure i'm wise to reveal myself this early in the game, but the information was just too useful, I couldn't let it wait, I might have been killed without revealing it! If you think i should've waited, please say so, i'm still learniing

)

because well i believe that he actually does have an info gather role now that he has explained it somewhat however i think the problem was that he somehow mis understood some of the info he gathered last night because as i said i have no night ability so him seeing me travel through a gate if that is indeed what he saw there must have beensomething odne to me that caused me to go through the gate since i did not cause it.

WHAT!?

You think I misunderstood my PM!? It was quite clear actually........

NOTE: Although i'm quite sure this is not the case, we should keep considering that I may be getting partly false information

This would be a vote except for the fact that I also have a named character but no night choice.

Flying Dutchman: Why did you not FOS ZONEACE in the original FOS post you made?

vote: Thoth
Because I think we have a 1/3 chance in lynching scum here and should probably put some pressure on each of them before we lynch. Having said that I'm thinking that I will most probably end the day with my vote on ZONEACE or Tigris.

Yes, but would YOU be outside at night, walking through a gate, when you have no nightchoice!?

And I didn't FOS ZONACE because I already was voting for him.

Flying Dutchman · Post Post #103 (isolation #8) » Fri Dec 12, 2003 3:46 am

OK, I want some action:
1. Will ANYONE with a role like Eomer, that's not directly related to Minas Tirith, tell this, because I don't think it's a likely role.
(If you don't know everything about your role, check it up in http://www.glyphweb.com/arda]arda.
2. If you have a suggestion which gate I should watch next night, please give it to me. I watched gate 6 this night because the important persons live on top of the mountain, but gate 7 would probably give me very limited info, and it wouldn't proof anything too, as I don't get the directions persons went.
3. If you know the location in the city of important buildings, please tell me so! (I know the king lives on the top, but other major characters? And the houses of healing?) If I know at which level they are, the chose of a gate may be easier! And i'm kinda sure it are called in the book....... And maybe your role PM states on which level you live (mine doesn't, but maybe it does if you can stay home at night)!

Well, as you can see, point 1 is to verify Zoneace's roleclaim, and 2 and 3 to determine my night choice.

Thanks if you can help me out with this.

The hospital of Minas Tirith

The houses that lay in the sixth circle of Minas Tirith, surrounded by lawns and trees, where the healers of Gondor did their work.

I would really like to know where YOUR info comes from, untill you tell me that,

for providing false information.

Flying Dutchman · Post Post #135 (isolation #12) » Thu Dec 18, 2003 9:56 am

I got a result this night, but it is of no use at the moment, it will only force powerful town roles to roleclaim, so i'm not revealing it. Yet.

We should REALLY try to found something out about that "pillars"!

Your memory

Check the 2nd book, when Frodo and Sam meet Faramir.

Right before that, they see how Faramir and his men attack the Haradrim, and they see an Oliphaunt too. Sam has a song about it

And they are too in the 2nd Battle of Pellenor Fields

Shit......

I *might* be able to get another baddie, but that will reveal an (I think) powerfull town role, while I can't be sure it will do any good.......

Oh well, time to try something cryptical to get a confirmation:

Birthday: September 16
Hobbies: Computer, cricket, AFL
Please name your missing hobby in your next post, if you think I should force a roleclaim from the other one at my gate

I hope it works

Tonight Banana Bob and Leonidas passed through my gate. (I watched gate 6 again).

Flying Dutchman · Post Post #168 (isolation #18) » Sun Dec 21, 2003 11:11 pm

I think it is likely that either the either the SK or Khand targetted Flying dutchmen last night while he was protected

I was hoping you was that doc, BB, and trying to confirm that without anyone knowing it. YOU are the one who's powerful role I feared for!

Flying Dutchman · Post Post #173 (isolation #19) » Tue Dec 23, 2003 12:06 am

If I was attacked, and the doc saved me, The doc HAD to be under the gate, unless he was using a remote-controlled robot to cure me

Unless I was attacked, and due to my injuries recorded no others passing through the gate.

Well, Leo, say if you're a doc and protected me, and we'll hang BB, and otherwise we have NOTHING to go on.......

Flying Dutchman · Post Post #186 (isolation #20) » Thu Dec 25, 2003 12:49 am

Like i said before......

Leo, reveal it if you're a doc and protected me!

We should wait for that, before we go on............

, please don't ever ask a doc to come out on the second day of a normal sized game. I would vote for you, but you seem to be on the level, for now at least. Although, I suppose that would be a good way to hide scuminess, with a completely unprovable role, but that is my paranoia talking.

I *thought* Banana Bob was a doc who protected me, and I tried to confirm that without him coming out. I was totally wrong though. And I asked Leo to come out if he's a doc AND protected me last night, as that makes is highely likely Banana Bob tried to kill me last night.

And I think you are a LITTLE paranoid indeed saying I make this all up........

I *hope* there is still a doc around by the way, otherwise i'm dead this night.......

How do the mafia communicate at night? Obviously by pm, but thats not what I mean, How do they communicate in the game world? I always assumed they phoned each other, but there aren't any phones in LOTR. What if, mafia had to go to the same place at night to communicate with each other. This would make FDs role have more use.

My pet theory then is that ZONEACE, Tigris and Thoth are scum together, and were all in the same place to communicate the first night. We know ZONEACE was scum, and i've already outlined my suspicions of Tigris, but unofortunatly for me, Thoth seems squeaky clean and seems very unlikely to be scum with ZONEACE.
