oh you mean about mafia.
Well, I actually kind of like the Deer votes in a cute sort of way, but I'm not really interested in pushing it any further. It doesn't seem like a genuine slip.
Unvote, Vote: Fatefor post 78, by the way.#greenshirtthursdays-

Sorry, been travelling.
I don't like ani's 314.
Re: Fate hammer and Deer: eh, I dunno, I can see Deer as stubborn town, but the way he's approached this kind of means we really have to get him to hammer, because it is exactly how scum would want to play this too.
LL - if you want Fate to be hammered, why are you no longer voting for Fate?#greenshirtthursdays-

Um, WTF Fate? You want me dead because, when I have limited time to devote to mafia, I make sure that above all else I don't abandon the newbies to whom I have a serious responsibility? Aside from the fact that that completely breaks all the sitewide rules about not mentioning ongoing games, you're basically suggesting that I'm faking limited availability to avoid contributing to this game. I'm not having that slight against my character. If you click the link in my signature you'll see that I've been blogging every day about every match of the World Cup (because that's something that's important to me), which means six hours of football per day plus longer to write, then spending time with my poor girlfriend who graciously lets me piss away every day on the World Cup. This all adds up to me not having very much time for mafia at the moment (that should change in a few days when the group stages are over and matches become less frequent), and so my activity is reduced. And so when asking myself "what game needs my attention the most", the answer is of course the newbie game where I have a responsibility as an IC not to disappear at all.
I really, really want to OMGUS you right now for such blatant asshattery, but you're probably not scum. The Jebus lynch makes the most sense at the moment - the stuff with the post restriction today about it being loosened I don't really think I buy.

Here's whassup - I'm Omar Little and I used to be a vig. My personal code forbids me from killing anyone who isn't in the drug trade. I got angry with Fate yesterday and decided I wanted to kill him regardless of whether I was at all sure he was scum. That was my first kill this game and it was also my last. As explained to me in my role PM, when I killed a civilian (Freamon) I lost any patience the Major Crimes Unit had for my antics and agreed to do it their way.
I'm rereading Deer.#greenshirtthursdays-

That's remarkably closed-minded of you. My guess is that scum also killed Fate.raider8169 wrote:

As I said, he made me angry yesterday. I didn't feel like playing with him any longer.Sotty7 wrote:Why did you pick Fate to kill?
Yes. Part of my flavour is that I'm friendly with the cops at the Major Crimes Unit and they've let me be as long as I don't touch civilians. If I broke that code I knew I had to stop killing and do things their way.camn wrote:Did you know that if you killed a good guy you would lose vig powers, cdb?#greenshirtthursdays-

Thanks MacavityLock for a great game. As I said, I can only wonder how this would have turned out if it wasn't for Jason's mistake blowing two of our safeclaims in one shot. (No hard feelings, Jason, could have happened to anyone.)

I definitely got the feeling quite early on that the town was quite formidable, though I didn't do any serious thinking about how many Investigators would equate to a sane Cop. Nailing the snitch N1 was a massive coup. I was actually considering adding to my fakeclaim that as part of my agreement to "do things the cops' way", Omar would become a second snitch.#greenshirtthursdays-

When I realised he was seriously faking a PR rather than just pissing about for his first post or two, I had a bit of a WTF moment thinking the same thing. Couldn't really do anything about it at that stage, though, so I just decided to roll with it.MacavityLock wrote:Jebus's faked post restriction was also surprising. The Wire theme does not lend itself to that kind of meta-game play, in my opinion, and I was wondering why he did it.
Not quite true, we were going with Jebus as Herc, who was too bored and uninterested to post actual words instead of images, and Jason was going to be Bunk, who could do something or other with forensics on the dead bodies, with Bunk being Homicide rather than Major Crimes. In retrospect I'm not certain the whole Bunk as forensic investigator thing was great so it's probably not a disaster that we lost that claim, but IMO when Jason accidentally claimed Herc's name on top of Bunk's role I think we lost the most plausible explanation for his post restriction. (Also, we did not discuss his loosening of the PR. I would have told him not to do it if he'd brought it up at night. The only way to follow through on setting the fake PR up was to keep going with it to the end.)MacavityLock wrote:Over night 1, the maf requested additional flavor for Bunk, Herc, and Omar, which was provided in their QT. They had a whole thing planned with Jebus being drunk Bunk with the post restriction, CDB being a potential vig with Omar, and jason being an Investigator as Herc. But the most important part of that night was Fate's Wiretap investigation on jason, a clear guilty. When confronted with it on Day 2, jasonmangled the flavors for Bunk and Herc, thus torpedo-ing two of the maf fake claims in one post. My jaw dropped.
As a fan of the show I couldn't see McNulty as just being a drunk in this game, having always thought of Bunk as having the biggest "drunk moments" on the show. I didn't forget about him but I couldn't think of a way to make it sound right in my head. You're probably right, though, given Jason's claimfail, that was probably what Jebus should have gone for.MacavityLock wrote:At this point, the maf clearly was scrambling. I think they missed an opportunity. Had they requested some flavor for McNulty, I think their "drunken post restriction" plan for Jebus might have still worked. Sadly, it seems they completely forgot about their McNulty fake claim. When the time came for Jebus to claim on Day 3, he basically gave up.
I thought Omar was more likely to buy me one more night than McNulty - if I claimed McNulty as Investigator I saw no reason why I wasn't going to get lynched before raider, Locke or Deer. Vig just seemed like the only plausible role to claim for Omar. In fairness I had pretty much lost all hope by that stage anyway.MacavityLock wrote:I can kind of say the same thing for CDB. I don't think a vig claim is all that useful at that stage of the game, and I would have probably used the McNulty fake claim to kind of hide away as a simple Investigator. There was no way Omar was going to survive to the end.
Agreed. I thought our Day 1 was decent (bar Jebus' unnecessary post restriction that he lumbered all of us with) and Night 1 was obviously great, but as soon as Day 2 came around and, crucially, Jason's claimfail, we reacted poorly and were always on the back foot. Town did a good job of narrowing down the people they could basically ignore for lynches.MacavityLock wrote:So, in the end, the maf was decimated, and to be honest, I kind of think they deserved it :}
------------
I'd like to ask Jebus if he was thinking seriously about how to win the game when he made up that post restriction or if he just couldn't be arsed to play properly on Day 1 and ended up carrying it on for too long to ever drop it?#greenshirtthursdays-

Oh, and I'd like to apologise to you for killing you last night. I was kinda annoyed at you the day before (that whole exchange was nothing to do with my being scum or not) but not *that* much. I just decided that it would make a good reason for me to kill you as pro-town Omar-vig. Worked on Sens, at least.Fate wrote:OWNED SCUM OWNED#greenshirtthursdays-
