Mini 672 - Tranquility (Game Over)

[SpyreX]

So, we come again to the table. However, one and all bask in my town-finding ways.

Lets look at who we've got at this point.

KMD - New York, lots of mafia. Fine.
Charter - Donkey kong kidnaps people, we kidnap people, Fine.
Stef - Saddam Hussein and Satan? Easy peasy.
Nameless - Obviously our evil accountant.
Rishi - Meerkats are obvmaf. Just look at his eyes.
Camn - Well, its a girl, but its just a little too evil to be town, clear for now.

SO... What does this leave us? We've got TWO people who refuse to show their faces.

Stormer - you're real iffy but...
Drake the Fake - Fake huh? Fake MAFIA! And, if that wasn't damning enoguh... look under his name. LOOK AT IT

The case is closed. We have won the day.

Actually, by your own logic, "fake" should in fact refer to the word that comes below it, that word being "Townsperson," which is turn yields "fake townsperson," which in turns yields "mafia."

QED.

[stormer]

iffy? I was fasting at the time I wrote and I was hungry.

[SpyreX]

Yea, well you cant come out being all "I'm a towny" and expect us NOT to lynch you right? RIGHT?

[stormer]

Are the mafia the informed majority?

[SpyreX]

I wish I was the informed majority. Insta-win

[stormer]

ummmm....

[SpyreX]

I'm poking fun at you. There's an informed minority (the town (bad guys) in this case) and an uninformed majority - the mafia (good guys)

[Stef]

I wish I was the informed majority. Insta-win

Hmm.. interesting statement...

[Kmd4390]

Drake, a mafia game isn't a place for a sports discussion (I'd be glad to talk about it elsewhere) but I need to respond to this. I DO NOT DISPLAY ANTI-YANKEE BEHAVIOR.

People will say what they want to say and that is fine. I'm ok with the fact that even die hard Yankee haters expect the Yankees to make the playoffs and win in the playoffs EVERY year. That is respect. Serious respect. They have one year where they are going to come up a little short with, as you pointed out, a record above .500 (assuming they don't have some kind of meltdown before the season ends) and everyone is saying how terrible they are.

So, in short, keep piling on the respect if you like but not in a mafia game.

Last post regarding the Yankees or any other unrelated material.

I wish I was the informed majority. Insta-win

That would be great.

[camn]

It's not respect.

It is just recognizing who has the $$.
The Dough.
The Clams.
The Chips.

You expect them to go because they paid for the ticket.

2008 Payroll??
Yankees $209,081,579
Rays $43,820,598

A-Rod makes more than the Marlins. All of them. Combined.

But you are right, KMD... this is neither the time nor the place. Delete your avatar immediately.

acknowledging that I read this and am willing to talk baseball all you or anyone else wants but NOT IN THIS GAME. My apologies for feeding the issue. Avatar is staying.

Comments on the mafia game that we are playing anyone?

[camn]

It was an OMGUS Yankees attack anyway

So.. JDoge has confirmed.. but still no Post?

Hm. Maybe I got lucky.

[Kmd4390]

understandable but it was getting to the point where it needed to stop (partially my fault).

Interesting observation.

JDodge, where are you?

[Rishi]

I wish I was the informed majority. Insta-win

Hmm.. interesting statement...

So, what's interesting about it? I think it's more interesting that you said that than the statement itself, which was obviously meant as a joke. I'm not sure I like this, since you're casting suspicion on SpyreX without backing it up.

Also...

I really think "scum" should mean the "informed" minority. In this case, it's townscum, but scum all the same. Although it's cute to use the mod's flavor in this case, it's distracting. I think people will, by instinct, say something is "scummy" behavior, which will make it difficult to read people. If we jump on them, they have an easy way to backpedal and say, "Hey, sorry, I got my terms mixed up again." We should all agree on the terminology. It's more important than you think if we want to put any faith in people's posts and suspicions.

Regarding the Yankees - I think it's interesting that certain people keep bringing it up. A lack of discussion often helps scum (in this case, townscum) and I think that sometimes it's helpful for scum to steer the discussion away from the main point. This doesn't set off major alarm bells, but it's something that might be useful. So I'll tuck it away for later. Also, rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for Microsoft. 'Nuff said.

Finally, those of you without avatars should get them. Thanks.

[Kmd4390]

Seconding the termonology thing.
Anything I refer to as "scummy" means the "townscum"
If I say "I'm getting a town read", I mean the mafiatown.
In other words, I'm speaking as if this were like any other game.

As far as the Yankees, I have a natural urge to defend the comments. I have been trying to end it though because it has nothing to do with the game.

[Nameless]

(Serious posting begins ... Now.)

##Vote: Rishi

a) Overly elaborating on a joke statement and reading into an ambiguous reply.
b) Readying yourself to jump on those enjoying the theme before any problems have been caused.
c) OOT discussion at the beginning of a game might be IMHO annoying, but you're reading too much into it and then baiting further replies with your last statement anyway.

Mod Note: Unvote before you cast a new vote, this one won't count.

[charter]

##unvote, ##vote Rishi

For the same reasons as Nameless's a and b.

[camn]

Meerkats Suck.

[charter]

I actually kind of like them. But I like the monkey even more.

[camn]

### Unvote, Vote Charter.

A) Monkeys are depressing.
b) Instant Rishi Bandwagon?

[charter]

Interesting that you vote me now, after my trivial and meaningless comment. Why not vote for me right after I voted Rishi? What is wrong with a healthy bandwagon on Rishi early in day one?

[camn]

I only waited 4 minutes.......

[Malyss]

SO... What does this leave us? We've got TWO people who refuse to show their faces.

Well, here I am. Sorry, but I was out of town for a funeral, but I'm back now.

##Vote: Stormer

Back in the 80's, Stormer was one of my favorite characters on one of the cartoons that I watched.

[charter]

You didn't answer my questions camn.
