Hot Potato Mafia - Game Over

[Korts]

Well.

Was it the hope that triggered it, you think?

Skruffs, Potato Factory Worker, Townie, has been killed by a Russet Potato at 4:18 Central District Time.

I'm having trouble converting this. For comparison reasons, could someone tell me the length of time between the above mentioned time and the timestamp of this post. Thank you.

I don't think you need to convert that to match it to the forum clock. Check q21's post where he tossed it to Skruffs, and the timestamp. It's 4:18.

If Russet Potato is triggered by # of tosses, the magic number is eight (not counting the original toss to the first holder).

Russet Potato:
Porochaz --> M4ahem --> Luigi Gangsta --> DarlaBlueEyes --> DGB --> Rally Vincent --> Riceballtail --> q21 -->

Skruffs

[DarlaBlueEyes]

wow, that was random !

maybe it as the 'in hopes that it blows him up' bit? or the fact that he just threw it vs. dropping it chucking it hitting it or kicking it?

[M4yhem]

Oh snap.

If it's page numbers, he died on page twelve

[q21]

Well, crap. I guess that makes me wrong then. Re-thinking time.

I've changed my forum clock to match the actual time over here, but yeah, it's pretty clear that the potato exploded at the same time as the pass.

There won't be a page again, but... Potatoes were originally passed on page 3, so it could be a toss on page

9 after origin.

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.

[M4yhem]

How many times have the other potatos been passed?

If we keep throwing a potato at them they will probably die eventually.

[JohnWWells]

What if we kill anybody who gets a townie killed? In other words, we throw to the person who threw to Scruffs (q21), then if he turns out innocent, we kill the next person who kills a townie.

Alternatively, we could keep killing lurkers until we have an idea as to what triggers each type of potato...

Seems poor given the mainly random natures of the potatoes.

[the silent speaker]

I'm saying that because a significant factor in when the potatoes explode is NUMBER OF THROWS,

There have to be multiple differing factors in when the potatoes explode. The mod has told us that holding a potato waitig for confirmation that we have it can be what kills us. Number of throws, yes, one, but also length of time in absolute terms (measured in time or posts or both).

If we throw a potato, we should actually be ready for the recipient to possibly die. Do you feel we've had enough discussion for Day 1?

If you're telling me you have no scum reads on anyone, you're lying. They will not be as firmly grounded or deeply rooted as in a regular game, by the nature of the death mechanic where people find suddenly that they have made unilateral executive decisions, but it is

a scum read

, and that means by definition that you are prepared for the person to maybe die. Not as much as you would like to be prepared, maybe, but more than you should be prepared to die yourself.

This is a scummy post. Not simply because it suggests killing me, but because what is suggested has a lot of potential to kill absolutely nothing but townies.

[Battle Mage]

I for once am coming around ot agreeing with DGB here. Good catch there q21.

It's this post which makes me think Armlx is probably town. Q21 is obviously town. I'm pretty torn about Skruffs' death. Its never good to lose a townie, but 1 as anti-town as him? It was bound to happen, and perhaps now we can move on...

That's not what i've said atall. I'm saying that, the little bout of throwings we had earlier, was clearly random, and not largely based on suspicions atall. It's probably a good idea for one of us to keep tabs on the number of throws each potato has had so far. Any volunteers?

: Good Work. I'll do the other 2.

I guess it makes sense that Skruffs wants BM dead after being beaten by him but it really shouldn't make a difference to the game.

I don't like how BM brought that in to make it seem like a cross game OMGUS.

Omg, you're as bad as Skruffs. Read the fricking game please. Skruffs himself admitted that his attitude towards me was linked to Food Fight!

I'm amazed at how sure DGB and Armlx are that BM is scum.

He deliberately tried to cause mayhem early game in a self preservatory manner.

Because drawing attention to myself early on is a GREAT move as scum, amirite?

Because we have no idea what triggers the potatoes, and again, anyone could just keep tossing them back to someone else. That's why it's alot like real Hot Potato--- you don't wanna be holding that thing, regardless of your alignment.

Also, throwing to q21 in retaliation may work (MAY work), but from there, throwing to the next person that kills a townie? Bad idea, and I'll say why: Suppose q21 is town, then you've basically ordered the death sentence of the person who enforced the very rule that you're asking be upheld. Then again, you can ask the rest of us to pelt someone with spuds until the cows come home, but that doesn't mean they'll be the one to blow up.

[Battle Mage]

Plus, meta:BM is likely this in most games he plays, so I've heard.

He is loud usually, but not straight up disruptive like that.

You should probably consider getting that meta fixed. 0.o
