Mini 237- Basic Mafia - Game over!

[d8P]

Oh, that was a simul-post. I was waiting for town input and didn't know you had a post in front of my last.

To go back a bit - in refrence to what Falcone asked: it's just that we start with an advantage, as Mr Stoofer said - an extra townie.

Mr S's second point is not as much of a disadvantage as it may sound, since when the game starts with night cops have nothing to check their sanity against which means they shouldn't trust their results after night one anyway unless they chose the person killed, in which case all they know is their sanity and they still can't be sure of that (finding townie = innocent doesn't mean cop = sane: it could mean cop = naive, or worse; cop = random if mod = evil).

Is that one sentence? It's definitely an unusual paragraph anyway. There are like 52,24

4

words in there. Does it make sense to the rest of you?

[Commodore Amazing]

Not to belabor the point or anything, but it's definitely to the town's advantage to start with day. We always have the option of going "no lynch," which essentially starts the game at night. I am not advocating "no lynch."

[ChocoCid]

Goddamn, I've gotta read better.

Unvote

You're right, he did only FOS.

[d8P]

I have to replace a friend from work who's fallen ill. I will be at a kids' camp 16th - 22nd October. I may have some access but it will be intermittent at best.

[vikingfan]

Do you think you need replacing, d8P, or do you think you'll be able to post often enough to keep up on things?

[Falcone]

Mod, while you're here, could you do a vote count? I'd be most grateful.

[d8P]

It should be no problem for me to read everything that goes on, but I'm not sure that I'll be able to analyse everything well enough to post coherently, so it's up to you. If you'd like to replace I'll

hate you forever

respect your decision.

[vikingfan]

As requested:

Vote Count:

ChocoCid- 2 (Seol, ibaesha)
Commodore Amazing- 1 (Falcone)
Nightfall- 1 (Mr Stoofer)
Seol- 1 (Nightfall)
vIQles- 1 (Stewie)

Not voting (6): ChocoCid, Commodore Amazing, d8P, KingEnigma, Sineish, vIQles

7 to lynch.

If vIQles does not post by Monday evening, I will replace him. As for you, d8P, I'll play it by ear- if the game is moving slowly, I'll probably let you stay in. If the game is moving quickly, I'll probably need to replace you. Fair enough?

Do not, however, use this as an excuse to play slow just to keep d8p in the game though- I'd like this game to move faster than it currently is.

[Nightfall]

*Checking in*
Will post something of more context in the next day or two.

P.S. Is KingEnigma still around though?

[vikingfan]

Hmm- he's only posted once since September. Let me try a prod. If he doesn't post then, then I'll probably replace him.

[d8P]

Can't ask for fairer, mod. Will check as often as I can.

[vikingfan]

Bad news- KE reports his father had a stroke, so he needs to be replaced.

So I'll be checking for a replacement.

[vikingfan]

mikeburnfire replaces KE.

[Nightfall]

That was pretty quick.

[vikingfan]

Yeah, and if viQLes doesn't post by tomorrow evening, I'll get a replacement for him as well.

[mikeburnfire]

Role Confirmed. Greetings everyone.

[vikingfan]

Any chance you can change the size of your sig, mike? It's making me have to scroll twice to read words that run the entire length of the screen.

Either that or else I can just turn off signatures...

[mikeburnfire]

I think that seems like a reasonable request.

[Stewie]

I second the signature decrease (specially annoying in 600x800) and also request some input on what we've been doing so far.

[vikingfan]

Thanks, mike.

viQLes has a little less than 24 hours to check in...

[Mr Stoofer]

Checking in.

With all the replacements and stalling and hanging around, there is nothing much to go on.

The d8p thing is more likely nothing, blown out of proportion, than a genuine scum tell.

Ill

unvote: Nightfall

and

vote: Sineish

for the d8p thing and for being the nearest thing we've got to a lurker (as opposed to a non-poster). Weak reasons, but I prefer my vote to have a slender basis than no basis at all.

[Falcone]

Nightfall may post a lot, but I don't see much content in his posts. Isn't that typical lurker-behaviour? So why unvote him and vote for Sineish, who has less posts than Nightfall, but more content? I don't think he deserves suspicion for the d8P thing. His question and FOS were reasonable in my opinion.

Unvote: Commodore Amazing
Vote: Mr. Stoofer

[Mr Stoofer]

That was predictable.

[Seol]

Ill

unvote: Nightfall

and

vote: Sineish

for the d8p thing and for being the nearest thing we've got to a lurker (as opposed to a non-poster). Weak reasons, but I prefer my vote to have a slender basis than no basis at all.

What about the d8P thing?

[Mr Stoofer]

"

The d8p thing

" refers to the debate/suspicion forming on d8p because of

this post

.

Sineish said of it: "

I can only conclude it's some subtle bluff to throw someone off

" (which I find a startling conclusion) and FOS-ed him. There was then big debate about d8p's post. I think you, Seol, were saying that d8p's post was suspicious although I confess I didn't really understand your post on the subject. But I believe it was just a simple comment.

So my vote on Sineish for "

the d8p thing

" was a vote for reading too much into d8p's post. Not very strong grounds, as I said, but I preferred it to my random vote. This game is moving slowly and this is the best I could do, since no-one seems to be volunteering to be bandwagonned.
