Calvin & Hobbes Mafia-Game Over!!!

[PolarBoy]

I'm here, but unfortunately have no idea what to say(nights too long). Also I'm behind on some other stuff(I was busy all weekend) so it will probably be a couple of days before I get my bearings again. Sorry.

[mlaker]

Please for the love of all that is good and holy update the first post of the thread.

[Breakdown]

*sigh* I'm gonna see this game through, but with what will probably be half the players being replaced it'll almost be like day 1 all over again.

And I agree wholeheartedly with Zone, the first post needs updated in a bad way.

[Argoti]

Seriously. I'm sticking through, but I'm STILL not on the front page (Again, I replace Spoon way back in Day 1)

[mlaker]

I've updated the front page!! Come on post people.
Those who aren't cleared yet:
bloojay
UT

[ZONEACE]

no one has seen bloojay in forever, or UT.

[Leonidas]

I'm here and alive.

I was on a bloody business trip that lasted forever.

[Argoti]

UT left mafiascum I think, he abadoned his mini like, a month or so ago

[EnPaceRequiescat]

I'm back.

[mlaker]

O.K. bluejay and UT will be replaced, everyone else is cleared! Commence the game!

[NanookTheWolf]

Alright everyone, I'm just posting to let you know that I have replaced Bloojay and will look over the game some tonight, and possibly post.

[Argoti]

Okay, well....

Anyone have anything? Besides Zone's EPR vote...

[ZONEACE]

Okay, well....

Anyone have anything? Besides Zone's EPR vote...

i guess i can get rid of that

unvote EPR

since it was just a random thing to try and cause some conversation.

[mlaker]

Come on people don't make me smack you with a deadline!

[Breakdown]

Well, in the interest of getting the ball rolling I guess I'll voice my one suspicion. I'm pretty sketchy on Leonidas. He's been quiet, which is a strike against most of of us I'm aware, but in his case it definitely seems to be more lurking than general inactivity. Every time a post-or-be-replaced ultimatum gets thrown out or someone comments on how quiet he's being he's quick to post, but has yet to throw out much of anything with substance to it even when pressed. I'm left with the impression he wants to be in this game, but just generally not noticed. Not an uncommon mafia/sk tactic, and if he is town, he is not and has not been helping the cause. It's not much to go on, but seeing the plethora of other ideas on who to lynch[/sarcasm], I'm gonna go ahead and

vote: Leonidas

.

[mlaker]

Vote Count:
Leonidas(Breakdown) 1

[Argoti]

I'll back it becasue hey, it's the first thing thats been said by a player for like a week

Vote Leonidas

[Fuldu]

And I'm here replacing Untrod Tripod, but you'll have to give me a little time to catch up. mlaker, out of respect for me, please don't impose a deadline just yet.

[mlaker]

Well discussion hasn't picked up much but since there are posters I'll wait on the deadline.

[bigbenwd]

good to know discussion's picked up, all the way to a page every 2 weeks. nice job.

[ZONEACE]

Good fuicking christ, do you ever stop posting in games once you die? ever? seriously, you aren';t in the game any more, stop posting.

[EnPaceRequiescat]

hmmmm... I think we should get leonidas talking, too. And we don't have much else, or my memory has been bashed and mixed up from the time that has passed since previous discussion.

vote: leonidas

[bigbenwd]

well Zone, I do it because I liked the game and when I post discussion seems to pick up, even if slightly. So I'll stop if evreryone posts more (notice this is the only game I do this in) anyways, im off for now.

[Fuldu]

Unless I'm mistaken, bigbenwd, I think ZONEACE's point is that you're actually

dead

in this game, so probably shouldn't be posting anything, even if it's just to increase participation.

On which:

I've finished reading 121 printed pages of the game and have come to several important conclusions.

1) Untrod Tripod needs lithium; I'm taking over for an idiot-savant. I have absolutely no idea where the bizarre insights into character that revealed God and Scalebane as scum to UT came from (even though he was then completely incapable of convincing anyone); only that I'm stuck with all the crap the idiot said.

2) ZONEACE has persecution issues. Early in the game he put forward the claim that the teachers are aliens, a fact no longer in dispute. He has then proceeded to attack anyone and everyone who questioned his innocence, on the basis that he was "a confirmed innocent." Okay, today, now that I'm comfortable with the idea that the teachers/aliens are all dead, I can see the validity of that argument, but a teacher/alien could just as easily put out the connection, knowing that teachers are going to be everyone's first choice to lynch even if they aren't aliens, in order to maintain a credible cover story. Add to that the fact that we've now had an Enlightened Calvin Clone, and it's perfectly reasonable to think that there might also be a Bad Side Calvin Clone who would have the same info as the other Calvin Clones, but on scum's side.

The point of this is not to suggest that ZONEACE is scum; I don't think he is. The point is just to suggest that no matter how airtight you think your story is, the fact that people are punching holes in it doesn't make them scum. The whole point of the game for scum is to try to create airtight stories, and for townies to try to punch holes in them.

3) Leonidas is never going to participate unless we make him. And with the way this game is going, probably not even then. 3 votes isn't doing it, so

vote: Leonidas

.

4) mlaker isn't helping me prep for this role any. I asked for all of UT's night choices and was sent back a list of the nighttime outcomes, which isn't the same thing. Upon asking some more specific questions, I was told I wouldn't be getting those answers and not to ask. So, as far as I can determine, Untrod Tripod actually did target mathcam Night 3 and then reported that he had targeted Scalebane, instead. Further, I was not given a target for Night 2, suggesting that the whole plan regarding UT and MGIA didn't actually happen, despite UT's claims that he was "given a bath." This is not an impossible explanation (see point 1, above), but it's never a good sign when you don't trust the information you got from the mod.

C'mon, people, let's put this game out of its misery.
