Open 76 - Polygamist Mafia (Over!) before 604

[Grimmy]

So is anyone going to suggest wife-swapping, or is that too much of a giveaway?

especially since we are mostly guys.

who are the pitchers and who are the catchers anyway?

I'm gonna go ahead and assume you mean dcorbe as dahill isn't in this game with us.

Need moar loverclaims but so far zombieslayer and bionicchop are making me uneasy for posts 37 and 44 so

fos: ZombieChop

See that is what I get for reading this right after returning from my trip. I take back my FOS I realized the guy is a newbie who may not realize some of the intricates of mafia.

this is exaclty why I like this format so much. I can follow OMGL's lead and not screw up like I did in the past couple of mafia games I was in.

@mod

Can you prod my lover, please?

It's been 24 hours since day started, and under 48 since he posted, so I'll give him until the end of the day before I prod him

I think this post is saying SOMETHING. I am not sure what it is saying, but I think it say something....

[bionicchop2]

I hit quote on that post about 4 times and never ended up posting anything. I was thinking it was scummy to worry too much about making mistakes, but his recent registration date makes me think it isn't really a tell.

I am completely stumped as to how we proceed with this game. I can see this turning into a long stale mate.

I will cast a minor

FOS dcorbe

and minor

FOS Qmaan

Dorbe reasons: Came in and asked the mod to prod his 'partner' as his first post (post 69). If he left that alone, I would have thought the only way a mod could know who his partner was is if he only had 1 partner. He then immediately revealed his partner in the next post. Makes it seem like the first post was a ploy to give the impression I got initially. Could also just be that he realized everybody was claiming partners. The 4 post flurry just felt wrong though.


Qmaan reasons: Mostly just post #73. To come in and say he was going to suggest it also and thinks it is pro town seemed unnecessary. By then it was clear it was agreed upon and seen as pro town, so it could be just an attempt to blend in, but trying way too hard.


Both are minor, but I think a good starting point for discussion. I would say Qmaan slightly more than dcorbe right now.

While I understand where you are coming from, it's slightly ... off.. to suspect me for agreeing a massclaim was the thing to do. I would have posted it earlier than i did if it weren't for the holiday weekend. Lets not forget you were the only one that came out against the idea. It might indeed be unnecessary, but it was the first thought that went though my head when i thought about the setup, it would be foolish to not massclaim partners.

Care to explain why at first, i have the lesser of two FoS put on me, then you say I'm the better starting point?

I never once said I was against the idea. I agreed, but felt a delay would have been appropriate. I thought that was clear.

The reason I FOS'd is because it always makes me a little uneasy when somebody says something that is implied by the nature of being townie (ie: damn we lost the doctor type posts). The FOS is minor because that line of reasoning for my votes has proven wrong before - but it has also proven correct before. IMO I need to pair that with some other sort of tell before I gain confidence in it. Definitely worth noting as a starting point though.

As for why you - I never once said you had the lesser of the 2 FoS. The order was just in the order of who posted. I read dcorbe first, so I posted him first. His posting pattern seems slightly more hyper-active than scummy, but I thought his 4 posts were worth discussing.

[PJ.]

First of all, My partnering is Dcorbe, and I definently posted this idea without thinking too much, and then realized that the scum would just break up. We have done nothing but basically all claim vanilla town and to with someone. I guess the only advantage is that scum is claiming marriage to scum. So anyway,

FoS:Xtoxm

. Never, ever, ever, ever claim before the majority says go. You should be lynched for this. It is a cardinal sin.

On a second note, Bionic, Dcorbe is just an excited noobie, he said so in our lover conversation in between the screams and moans, anyway I am with you in believing that he is hyperactive. And I can assure you he isn't scum.

[Gorrad]

Xtoxm's not a newb, but he definitely acts like one. I don't like when he claimed, but I can understand him doing so given past games.

Claiming has a very significant benefit. It means we have two people to judge when determining who is scum. If one person is very pro-town and his partner is not, we can more safely assume the partner to be newbish. Alternatively, if one person is undeniably scum and their partner is not, we can assume the partner to just be very good scum. The best possible situation is that both partners seem to be of the same allignment, and we can judge them from that.

[water_foul]

sorry about the wait,i cant see anyt scumminess myself but it has been a great read (blows a kiss to qman )

[ZombieSlayer54]

I will agree whole heartedly with Bionic on FoSing Dcorbe, but not so much on Qman.

DCorbe's post seemed something like this:

Post 1: He he he I will ask the mod to prod my partner, this will make the townies think I am townie!

Post 2: OH

DAGNABBIT

I FORGOT TO NAME A PARTNER AND SINCE I HAVE NO ACTUAL LOVER THE MOD WILL NOT PROD THEM OR SAY SOMETHING WHICH IMPLIES ME OH

DAGNABBIT

.

Post 3: Ok ok, distract the townies from my second post, distract distract distract.

Post 4: MORE DISTRACTION MORE DISTRACTION.

WIFOMy to the max, I know, but just my two cents.

Pair that with the townie attempt vibe I got from Qman and we might be onto something.

Very vague right now since nobody else seemed to get the same feel as I originally did with Qman and I didn't get the same vibe on my first read of W_F.

[hasdgfas]

Because we have a vote, I get to do a vote count. Yay!!!!

First vote count of Day 1

water_foul(1): Gorrad

Not voting: Everyone else




Deadline still june 30, and at this rate, it's going to be a really slow day.

prodding killa seven, OhGodMyLife, and Xtoxm.
Guys, POST MORE. Not posting makes a cow sad.

[killa seven]

hey hey whats up

[Gorrad]

From you? Not content, that's for sure.

(That's content as in stuff, not content as in satisfied ><)

[Gorrad]

Gone to A-Kon until late Sunday/mid monday

[farside22]

With everyone claiming a partner we didn't get much info except as someone stated we know if one person looks scummy their partner is scum. Xtoxm comment about making the suggestion that was made in regards to claiming partners could be scum trying to look town.

I'm not sure why I seem to be the only one seeing problems with bionicchop and zombieslayer but they continue to throw up red flags for me, especially the recent post 87 which is using heaps of WIFOM to smear a newbie.

We just happen to be the most active right now IMO (as far as both partners posting). If you can honestly look at Dcorbe's posts and say they seemed perfectly townie, then good on you. I have already semi-dismissed them as just inexperience. I don't fault my partner if he isn't as quick to be as lenient as I was.

[Xtoxm]

Got prodded.

vote Farside

for voting me

[bionicchop2]

seriously?

I am not sure how helpful a 'random' or OMGUS vote is at this point. I am pretty sure we bypassed that stage of the game.

[Xtoxm]

Yes, seriously.
