Newbie 1897 (Game Over)

[Thespio]

I don't get how you can not be sure though. The alternatives are that he genuinely believes that lynching somebody on the basis that in the last game they were lynched town won is a good strategy. Or he is mafia and believes that he can convince other town members that lynching somebody on the basis that last game they were lynched town won is a good strategy.

These aren't genuine points of view that a person could possibly hold, surely?

I think you are both on the same page, he seemed to be uneasy about the following:

There's this game I was in recently where a VT got lynched and my team won! Oh wait that was you. Sorry about that. It's also my only game, so it has to count, right?

Gotta keep the lynch Alonzo for the win strategy going. Hammer on Alonzo = Scum. Fact. We need to up your vote count so Scum can hammer you again.

vote Alonzo

for the same reasons you are, if anyone thinks a prior game can somehow shadow a current game that person is crazy

[Trendall]

if anyone thinks a prior game can somehow shadow a current game that person is crazy

He doesn't think that though, it's clearly a tongue-in-cheek post, that's my point.

right but say he genuinely believes it, whats your response?

[Trendall]

If Qubo does? Then he's insane. But it's not reasonable to assume he genuinely believes it, especially given the tone of his post.

So safebet222 takes an obviously joke post, goes 'hey what if this isn't a joke post...then it's really scummy right?'. It seems like you really have to bend over backwards to make that argument, or it's 'forced' as people say. That is what my objection was, I don't think we were on the same page like you say.

[Thespio]

Idk, I fell like you may be over analyzing something, I don't see Safebet gaining anything from being like 'I recognize your humor, but hey! don't accuse me' your behavior though seems to be really pushing suspicion when there is no reason to.

[safebet222]

Trendall... You're much more fun with a bottle of prosecco in you.

I assure you the joking nature of his post wasn't lost on me. Why is it unreasonable to see a post as having an ulterior motive? Wasn't the Oracle glitch bit a joke that won you a game as scum once?

[Qubu]

vote Alonzo

I don't like this at all. I hope this was tongue-in-cheek.

I feel like that should have been obvious and you are reeaalllly stretching to make it something it isn't.

[Trendall]

I feel like Thespio has either misread the conversation between me and safebet222 or I'm not sure. safebet222 is fine for now and was probably just trying to get the game rolling, but Thespio is questionable.

With the oracle glitch thing, when I said that I never ever expected in a million years that somebody would actually believe it. You make a good point bringing that up though, people will believe completely mad things every now and again I guess.

Alright so part of me doesn't really see the thing that others are jumping on when Qubu voted Alonzo. Just seems like old game history to me

Hi, happy to be here

VeridianCleric and Clemency have been prodded.

Agreed, I believe somebody mentioned that old game has nothing to do with current games, unless of course they are able to see the posting style and pattern of a person and correlate that to here. However, as this is a newbie thread I doubt anybody here have played enough games together to get that distinction LOL.
I did play a game once where it was a cascading game and a speed game, was fun but OH MAN you had to keep your wits about you when we got to the final 4th game for the weekend!

Thanks Mal. for posting the tags, didn't realize it wasn't using standard Html tags on here so that helps

I like joking around as much as the next person, but I wasn't gonna talk about the damn weather for another 3 pages.

At any rate, Trendall, can you expand on why Thespio's defense of me is questionable? Is it questionable in a "reasonable/unreasonable" manner like your thoughts on my comments? Or do you see something that is possibly alignment indicative?

[Trendall]

Well he said that you and I were on the same page when we weren’t, he said that I was uneasy about Qubo’s post when I wasn’t, and then he characterised your original post as ‘I recognize your humor, but hey! don't accuse me’, which…I’m just not sure which game he’s reading I guess.

I don’t see anything particularly alignment indicative from anyone at the moment. I thought you were scummy originally but then you defend yourself well.

[Malakittens]

Alright so as much as I hate RQS. We actually need to get some discussion going.

@Everyone:
Whats your experience in playing mafia?
Whats your favorite alignment, if you have one?


Mine:

Been onsite for about 6 years. played 4 years in a row then RL hit. Also have been to a bunch of scummer meets played rl. Also had another site prior to MS.
Alignment: Town.

@Everyone:

I started off playing with friends in real life and on private forums about ten years ago. I've played maybe about ten games on this forum and then thousands on epicmafia over the years. I didn't play forum mafia for about six years but recently decided it might be interesting to get back into.

I only really like playing townsided roles. Weirdly I don't recall ever being mafia sided in a forum game, so I don't know if it would be easier on a forum than on epicmafia or whatever, but in general I'm such a bad liar that being mafia doesn't excite me. It is the deception spotting aspect of this game that is interesting to me.

This is a real slow paced game so far, yeah.

Was a theatre kid in high school, and this was a favorite game of ours when we would just be hanging out with nothing to do. Started playing forum mafia on a music message board a few years ago. We would only have 1 game running at a time, and the players would come from the same pool of like 25 people. So even though the games were only 11 people, the board was very active so we would get through them at a really great pace. Also since we played so often, a lot of long term knowledge of the other players went into the game play which was fun. But alas, the game is almost nonexistent at this point. Heated games and certain players going over the line, plus overall board activity going down has caused games to be hard to come by for a while. So I thought I'd venture over here and give it a whirl.

Favorite alignment is definitely any town role. More fun to try and solve the mystery than try and be the wolf in sheep's clothing.

[Alonzo]

I started playing Offsite around 18 months ago, onsite just over a year. Offsite I only play Star Wars flavour Mafia.

Got my first win on site as scum a couple of games ago, but played for a year and only rolled scum twice, the first being my third ever game...

I don't have a preference for alignment, I enjoy the challenge of scum, but like the commaradery of town (until it implodes anyways!)
