Hot Potato Mafia - Game Over

[Riceballtail]

/confirm

[Riceballtail]

I'm a kitty cat and I dance, dance, dance.

Fixed.

[Riceballtail]

/confrench fries

Also, I believe you are referencing to what Riceballtail said above: the Kitty Cat Dance. Except its:

Cats? I'm a kitty-kat
And I dance, dance, dance, and I dance, dance, dance,
Cats? I'm a kitty kat

But thanks for saying this because I now remember that I want to get this ringer on my phone.

Laziness, I take pleasure in it.

[Riceballtail]

So how do you like your potatoes cooked?

Chips. Gotta have the chips.

[Riceballtail]

Au Gratin? Scalloped?

[Riceballtail]

Recruit BM

for victory!

[Riceballtail]

Protip: I think the baked potato is rigged to explode. Or it's so high it doesn't care. Either one.

[Riceballtail]

Random idea of a trigger...

HADOKEN!

[Riceballtail]

Vote: Flay

Yay wagon!

[Riceballtail]

Potato explosion mechanism trigger:

Bag of chips.

[Riceballtail]

Vote: Sir not appearing in this game

Deliberate bussing.

[Riceballtail]

Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.

TATERS!

[Riceballtail]

Secretly pass the unmentionable potato to q21

Enjoy!

[Riceballtail]

I passed you a potato...

[Riceballtail]

No, but if I do get a real one you'll get it.

[Riceballtail]

I place the russet potato into my potato cannon and fire it towards q21

As promised...

[Riceballtail]

How about we stop speculating about what caused Skruffs' death and start more speculation on who is scum?

I kinda don't understand how we can really pull scum out in this game, but that might just be me not understanding a lot about this game yet either.

[Riceballtail]

Hashbrowns...

[Riceballtail]

Hashbrowns...

Is there a reason that after 15 pages you are yet to make a post containing any real content and make random comments instead.

What you see of this game, and what I see of this game, are likely to be different things. You see a game of mafia, which involves lynching and NK's. I see a game of hot potato where there are certain people (of whom we do not know who they are) we need to get out to win.

I honestly don't think this is a game that's meant for serious mafia play, but more of a different and refreshing change from the rest of the games.

So basically you intend to float through this game without ever really doing anything.

No, I intend to go through this game passing the potato on so that I don't have to die from holding it too long. Since there is no good way to really tell how there are scum, why should we bother trying to sit around and look for it? I think most of this is idle discussion as it is.

[Riceballtail]

Riceballtail and Luigi Gangsta are kuribo's scum partners. This should be obvious to anyone with eyes.

This statement is impossible, because I am town.

[Riceballtail]

When did I say we shouldn't play mafia? I just said that I saw this as more like hot potato, like it says in the thread title. We can't lynch, so voting is inherently useless. The discussion that is going on is just getting people riled up.

I still think this game is being taken too seriously.

[Riceballtail]

How do you know my mother?

Wasn't she on that Discovery channel special or something like that?

[Riceballtail]

Its not even worth trying to reason with people here. Clearly less then half the game is trying to play mafia, and the rest are trying to play a Mish Mash game that amounts to nothing more than Russian Roulette.

Clear evidence that this one does not know how to play a game of hot potato.

[Riceballtail]

ALL

of that is WIFOM. Nice misrep.

Fixed.

[Riceballtail]

@Scum in this game: do you have a NK?

[Riceballtail]

Technically, this game could be played with only players passing potatoes. The extra discussion could be helpful, or hindering, depending on which way you see the game being played.

Interesting, isn't it?

[Riceballtail]

She has, and I have noted this. Kuribo comes in ahead of Riceball solely due to the fact Riceball offered up the flawed, but existant alternative of just playing hot potato over mafia.

How is 'playing hot potato' a viable alternative?

How is

VOTING

viable? It's an even bigger waste of time than trying to pass the potatoes around. I still don't know how you can imagine voting ever working in a system like this. The only ones who know they should work as a team are the scum, the rest don't know who they should trust, as they do not have any information about anyone else.
We don't know if the scum have an NK.
There is no lynching mechanism.
This is not kingmaker/executioner.
This is a game of hot potato where there are teams, and one of them knows who their teammates are, the other(s) do not.

[Riceballtail]

Why do you keep insisting that I am trying to prevent progress? Why do you assume we're going to have another russet potato tomorrow? Maybe you know this already? Wouldn't that make you scum?

[Riceballtail]

That's exactly why they think we're scummy, for trying to follow the theme of a theme game. Ironic, isn't it?

[Riceballtail]

I was talking to Kuribo, what are you talking about SSF? >_>

[Riceballtail]

Of course I don't know what the scum know, that's why I was asking you.

I'm not trying to prevent progress, I'm telling you the progress you are trying to make is futile.

[Riceballtail]

I was talking to Kuribo, what are you talking about SSF? >_>

...

I thought we were all part of some sort of "Anti-'Unofficial Voting System'" protest group...

...or something.

I'm not sober.

But that implies we noticed you...

[Riceballtail]

But you aren't making progress, so why would I tell you that you are?

[Riceballtail]

And how did voting figure that out? It had absolutely NOTHING to do with you. It was found by throwing things, not voting. Implying that your idea made that progress, then we have magically found the link between Iraq and the WMD that were supposedly there too right?

You also assume that (if) we have another russet potato it will take 8 throws as well. This is flawed, because you cannot establish a pattern based on one example. You're not making any progress that anyone else hasn't. In fact, you've only stated things that anyone who's been paying attention could have figured out.

If everyone had my attitude, we'd probably be enjoying this game more.

[Riceballtail]

...This is the third or fourth game I've played that has devolved into page after page of Mafia theory arguing, culminating with, "YOU DISAGREE WITH ME ABOUT MAFIA THEORY AND THEREFORE YOU ARE SCUM."

This is the cancer that is killing this site.

KNOCK IT OFF

[Riceballtail]

No. I'm saying the people who ARE should STOP.

[Riceballtail]

I could see discussion of some levels of theory, but what has gone on in this game is neither scumhunting nor beneficial to the game. If you want to talk about mafia theory, there's an entire subforum dedicated to the topic. This is for a specific game, which has very little to do with the theories described in this game (much less, mind you, any mafia theory at all). If you find something worth talking about, fine, but don't try to put votes in a game that has NO system to use them. Town or scum, I will make sure that those who are doing this garbage get asploded as my #1 priority until I can feel like this game is enjoyable again.

[Riceballtail]

Can't see TSS nuking off his own Godfather, that'd just be stupid. Let's get some discussion outta this guy, though.

Slam dunk Yellow Potato on Wizardguy's head.

You wouldn't happen to mean Wizardcat would you?

[Riceballtail]

Place yam gently into Q21's lap

That's what I'm doing with it.

[Riceballtail]

RBT - any reason at all why you have sent me that potato.

I have to have a reason now?

[Riceballtail]

Is everyone ok with DarlaBlueEyes getting killed by me today?

Do it.

[Riceballtail]

So it comes gown to a vote between RBT and DBE

Will make my kill tomorrow morning after reading new comments

DBE is the better play.

[Riceballtail]

Do not want.

Reinstate the potato to be in Q21's possession.

[Riceballtail]

RBT - I would like a reason why you keep throwing Potatoes at me.

You have potatolust.

[Riceballtail]

Lob Blue Potato to Q21

[Riceballtail]

I'll pass, thanks.

Hurl Baked Russet to Q21

[Riceballtail]

He has potatolust. He must be scum. Die scum die.

[Riceballtail]

The fact that the Potatoes are now moving makes me happy, Luigi's role speculation makes me suspicious and

the fact that no one has passed me a Potato makes me sad.

I'm seeing the things that can make Riceballtail and Luigi Gangsta scum,

but I don't see much that points to Kuribo being scum. Care to elaborate?

Firstly, glad to see Luigi go,

and if TSS is scum, I'm a flying monkey.

These stand out, as he fingers Luigi really hard, and tries to tie it to me. Probably a strong bus to look town, and pointing to a townie to keep the appearance that I'm scum, while avoiding the suspicion himself.

[Riceballtail]

Or maybe you're scum and he's right?

But you actually posted content! This is good!

I still don't see why asking for a potato is scummy. Of course, I would say that- I want to bake every potato I can get my hands on. Still, explain why potatolust is scummy rather than just perverted.

Because a scum could easily still tell who to and not to kill in this game.

Potatolust was meant in a sense of similarity to bloodlust. You want it because you just want it, not because it's perverse.

And no, I'm not scum. And I still don't find this to be a game of scumhunting as much as it is throwing potatoes for fun and profit.

[Riceballtail]

Petition Baked Russet to remain with Q21

[Riceballtail]

1) Do we buy this?
2) Notice he never claims to be pro-town.

For now, then,

load Baked Russet Potato into a bazooka and fire at DGB

.

[Riceballtail]

Place both potatoes into a double-barreled shotgun and shoot them both to Crazy.

[Riceballtail]

EBWOP: One to Crazy, One back to DGB.

[Riceballtail]

Your not bolded there RBT.

Picky.

SHOOT BLUE POTATO TO DGB, SHOOT RUSSET TO CRAZY

[Riceballtail]

Just relaying what the mod said... also I dont know because you already bolded the two to Crazy...

The second was was an EBWOP. Hence why I didn't go out of the way to bold it.

[Riceballtail]

Ricetailball- can I have that potato?

Does it get thrown back to me?

[Riceballtail]

Fling Blue potato to DGB

Because I don't want it at all.

[Riceballtail]

Lob Russet potato to Korts

[Riceballtail]

Yes, when it's baked, unless you can defend yourself/give me a compelling case against someone else.

If you really just want me to claim, fine.

I'm a

freeze-packer.

When a potato comes into my hands, it will not explode, as I cool it off, negating the difference that it made by passing it to me. I am basically an

unlynchable townie.

[Riceballtail]

Return blue potato to DGB

I didn't order any potatoes.

[Riceballtail]

You believe a tatermancer, but not a freeze-packer? That's amazing.

Also, you have to not count every time the potato goes into my hands for that count Q21.

[Riceballtail]

Load blue potato into a slingshot and fire it to skitzer.

[Riceballtail]

Counter-throw blue potato back to Skitzer

[Riceballtail]

Redirect Blue Potato to Rally Vincent

[Riceballtail]

Bounce blue potato back to Rally Vincent

Why do you think I'm giving it to you, scum?

[Riceballtail]

Observes the blue potato go through my patented "NO U" device, flinging it back to Rally Vincent

[Riceballtail]

Rubber-Glue defense at the Blue potato, sending it back to Rally Vincent

[Riceballtail]

Ninja-toss the Blue potato back to Rally Vincent

[Riceballtail]

Still has a potato though.

[Riceballtail]

Fling Blue Potato to DGB

Convinced, for now, Rally isn't scum.

[Riceballtail]

I'm a freeze-packer. When a potato comes into my hands, it will not explode, as I cool it off, negating the difference that it made by passing it to me. I am basically an unlynchable townie.

As you can see, I was not the one who made the "lynching" throw, so there was no particularly good way to prove it. We don't know the timer on the blue potato, so we can't particularly test it either, unless you'd rather have me pass it back and forth with someone else. The risk in that, of course, is that I can't promise that I will hit scum with my ability to only hit one person who could be scum. It is best left to people who we can't confirm today.

[Riceballtail]

It wasn't the lynching throw.

[Riceballtail]

Chuck Baked Yellow Potato to TDC

[Riceballtail]

TDC: So focused on testing my claim because it ruins your scum-team's chances eh?

[Riceballtail]

In case people were wondering, I fakeclaimed that to see if I could draw scum out of the woodwork. Although I thought it was a pretty good one if I do say so myself.

[Riceballtail]

You were all ganging up on me anyway, I just wanted to try and get suspicion put elsewhere. I had the thought that if I claimed that, I would have outed any scum who completely took it at face value, or anyone who looked at it and thought it would be impossible.

[Riceballtail]

I got the wrong read off TDC, who I saw the biggest reaction from.

[Riceballtail]

Yeah, I tried to make something that would fit the flavor, but yet stop the final blow from coming to me. It was moreso to get you guys to focus elsewhere.
