DP13 Bad Luck Mafia - DAY 7, and the winner is....

[d8P]

Well, "not random" is pretty clear...

Vote rolandofthewhite

and

fos: TonyMontana

for voting BJ after what he said.

[d8P]

FoS: NanooktheWolf and MastermindOfSin

for good measure. Someone who says vote:X = not random is trying to tell us something, no? There can be no better reason for voting on day one...

[d8P]

Looked at BJ's other games.

Unvote: rolandofthewhite, vote: babyjesus

. Annoyed vote.

Unfos: nanook and Mos

*pokes MoS* for trying to be inflammatory.

if you had any thoughts past jumping on the first bandwagon you see possible, you'd notice that it was BABYJESUS who made that post.

This is my first (and possibly last) game with BJ, as Nanook put forward. Deliberate misrepresentation, MoS? Antagonistic tone, MoS? Something wrong?

[d8P]

It shouldn't. If you imply that you're a cop and that you have info on a player you are a detriment to the town.

[d8P]

I'm not fighting any battles here. This is a skirmish at most. I have barely even donned the proverbial warpaint. I'm sure BJ has a good sense of humour underneath it all.

This is not about me wanting to change BJ. If he wants to play in a way that harms the town, let him. It will however mean that I'll always vote him.

IS had skills that were useful to the town. BJ apparently proclaims "not scum" just to have a laff. IS he isn't. And lest you get ideas, BJ, don't forget IS's bane (vote IS, teehee). Is that something you want to happen in every game you play?

[d8P]

Did I ever imply I was a cop?? Pretty sure I did not....

Yes, you implied you were a cop BJ when you said "not random". What were you trying to say? What did you think it would imply? It implied that you had investigated roland and found guilty. You don't need anyone to post the definition of imply, do you?

[d8P]

unvote: BabyJesus

I've made my point, and votes are for scum not attention-seekers. Besides, I've worked out how to turn off the animation on his avatar

Not to rush into things...but now Tally's vote for Sineish

implies

that she has extra info. Is this some kind of new tactic that got started during my absence? Well, if it confuses the scum half as much as it confuses me it's bound to work...

[d8P]

Anyone played with this darquiel character before?

I've played with

her

on the GL. I like he - she is astute and concise. Plus she made a mistake when she was a traitor in DP's Cheers Mafia But the scum still won

Thoth has been around for years. Beware. Hey Thoth!

That's it for now, I'm afraid.

[d8P]

Iammars, if you could give clues, it would help relieve the headache I got trying to figure it out.

I hardly think we'll find better on day one, so

vote: armlx

[d8P]

Well... that's helping my headache alright. Helping it take over the rest of my spinal column.

In the last post you left out "Of" and "Be". "Be" could also apply to "er..." These could precede some but not all of the sentences. Why would this make it so difficult to post? Bah. I started counting the letters in your posts to see if they added up to multiples of thriteen or something.

[d8P]

Yeah. Why would there be a chemist in a bad luck theme game? If the mod were to think of someone with immunity to bad luck he'd think of analytical, nonsupersitious people, like a statistician or a scientist, but a chemist? I seriously doubt it.

I can see that if there's chemistry you get lucky, but seriously

[d8P]

That's enough for me, Tally.

Unvote armlx, vote NanookTheWolf, FoS armlx

It is Nanook, Tally, isn't it?

[d8P]

Well, at the risk of seeming slow, could you just reassure me that Nanook is the one you won't give away too much info about, Tally ?

[d8P]

Trying to figure out how to elaborate without giving away too much info. It's not easy.

So this is in reference to Sineish?

unvote NanookTheWolf

[d8P]

Maybe I should be clearer. The town thought it was following you, Tally, because of this:

And I think Nanook is scum. Would switch to him if there would be any company.

followed by this:

Trying to figure out how to elaborate without giving away too much info. It's not easy.

It's just occurred to me that you may be under duress. I don't suppose you could give any indication that you are?

[d8P]

OK, then

vote darquiel

for semi-lurking. She knows the game has started and she didn't post here when she could have about two hours ago.

[d8P]

I'm happy with my vote on darquiel.

[d8P]

Bah. Darquiel is definitely lurking. She's posted in other threads and has contributed nothing here.

[d8P]

Darquiel - You had five posts before me?

This is where I called your lurking. You'd posted 4 times to that point (3 of which in just over an hour on Nov 1), but only with fluff. Calling you out for not having posted properly 2 RL weeks after the game had started, I expected a response...

Which I never got, as your sole contribution then was :

[<snipped vote for Nanook>]

Wanna give a reason?

[d8P]

BabyJ was drowned and poisoned, which makes four kills last night, at least one of which was protown.

*Gives fos back to CA*

I think I'll make that a

vote Commodore Amazing

since you got off the armlx bw and onto the darquiel one the post directly before Fuldu's.

[d8P]

What am I missing? I don't see the reasoning behind MoS's bw. UNvoting armlx was the correct play. In fact,

FoS: Thoth, Leonidas{/b] for that.

We have however had a bunch of kneejerk reactions from CA, Fritzler, and Pooky.

[d8P]

How was it the correct play?
We have an obvious scumbag and instead of lynching him we speedlynch a random person that got no chance for defense (and could have had a much more powerful role than a plain townie).
On top of that we force the vig to use his kill where it would have been much more powerful in the endgame (assuming a oneshot). Only with a multishot-vig there would have been little harm (except for the speedlynch of course). Add to that, that DP has used multiple oneshot vigs in a game before and the potential for disaster is certainly there.

Well, I hate to concede a point, but... you're right. Can I quote you? This has come up somewhere else.

It read like a decent plan. That and darquiel's behaviour up to that point were what prevented me from joining his bw again.

[d8P]

Hm. We've lost quite a lot of powerfuls. I'd say the scum probably have powers too, apart from the different MOs.

[d8P]

Actually, Talitha never made up for that and she said she would, so

vote Talitha

[d8P]

Well I never.. I tried to save a scumbag.

Will try and contribute something useful soon-ish.

There.

[d8P]

Hm. I suspect you wouldn't be so apathetic if you were scum but I'm not sure that's a very good re3ason to unvote.

[d8P]

unvote Talitha

Unkillable ghost role? What would happen if we lynched you?

[d8P]

Thanks, Tony
Can you give us an idea of the flavour, Talitha?

[d8P]

I recently played a protown ghost in one of DP's games - Coach in Cheers. Unnightkillable. I say we test her claim and leave her alive till we have no other good options, bearing in mind that this could be another fine example of DP messing with our expectations in his quest to reduce mafia to a game of pure logic, deduction and the occasional giant pumpkin.

[d8P]

Deadline is eight hours from now.
