Newbie 470: Trouble at Mount Excitement - Mafia Wins!

[Dark_Lady_Shaiann]

I was overly defensive becuase I had been voted for no reason, and had spent a great deal of time trying to explain why, even though no one seemed to be listening to me at the time. I feel that, overly defensive or not, I was making sense, but felt ignored and that is why I was becoming so adament(sp?) about my position and situation......

[Joubert]

That's exactly what I was referring to earlier, Dark Lady. Your reaction facing a situation can be as instructive as what you say. If you are overreactive, it means you have something to hide...

[Dark_Lady_Shaiann]

That may be, but the other part of that is, who am I hiding it from and why?


And if that is so, then how come the accusation of me and Charms being scum together kept getting pushed even though for the longest time I never said anything about it?

Roles

At any time, day or night, you may talk with your mafia partner privately. You win the game when the mafia outnumbers the town.

Please note that this is a variation from the usual Mafia rules. Most games do not allow the Mafia to talk privately, except during the Night.

WHOA. When did that get there? That is NOT how these games are supposed to work. Damn you BMQ for deviating from the norm!

Normally players are only concerned with their particular role. The fact that he was aware of the deviation makes me a tad suspicious, becuase when I went back to read over the roles a few days ago, that part didn't stand out to me at all.

The "who" is obviously the other players in the game. The "why", well, it depends of your motivations. Innocent people don't have to hide anything and they wouldn't profit from lying...

And if that is so, then how come the accusation of me and Charms being scum together kept getting pushed even though for the longest time I never said anything about it?

You were suspected of teaming with Charms because your respective votes were seemingly following a pattern. At one point, you voted Charms, apprently because someone did link her to you. And then, you changed your vote to ShadowLurker only because he voted on you. There must be at least another detail that could justify this vote jumping...

If ShadowLurker can further explain his vote on Dark Lady, then that would help untangle the ropes...

Charms seems to do the same with her vote. You vote for someone because you received a vote from this person, and vice-versa. People are suspected, but no extra information is exchanged. We are stalling...

However, I do agree with Dark Lady with her case on TheSweatpantsNinja. It's a good eyebrow-lifter...

This is as good as lead as any.

OMG. Do we have to go back over my vote jumping again?! I already wrote like a huge post about it. Go find it and read it. And the only reason any one said anything about me and Charms was because she was protecting me, not because our vote patterns seemed alike. Thats a new one for me......

The other reason I'm so defensive and upset is because people keep bringing up the same crap I have already explained. What else do you want me to say?

[Dark_Lady_Shaiann]

Don't worry. I found something else to rant about.

The "who" is obviously the other players in the game.

More specifically,

which

players?

The "why", well, it depends of your motivations. Innocent people don't have to hide anything and they wouldn't profit from lying...

I have never lied in this game. As far as what it may be that I am hiding: Obviously there is something about what I have been saying that is being picked up on by some one (or some people). Otherwise there would be no reason for me to keep being voted for unfairly. If you think I'm hiding something, why don't you just ask me what it is? Not only mafia have night jobs. I think I have been beating around the bush long enough, but since you probably haven't read most of my posts anyway (because then you wouldn't be pointing out old news), you probably haven't noticed.

Things have taken an interesting turn all of the sudden.
While it could certainly be that TSPN was only aware of the deviation because he was new to the game and the rules were fresher in his head than in anyone else's, I think Dark Lady has a good point.

[TheSweatpantsNinja]

Seriously? You're lynching me for. . .

reading carefully?

I noticed it because it was different than the games I had played in the past.

Is that truly the best lead we have? I would think that a player who has played in 100 games plays with a little more discernment.

In completely unrelated news, I like TSPN as an acronym. It made me chuckle.

[Mastermind of Sin]

Nice Alt.

[Mastermind of Sin]

I will not be able to post content until next week. I have an Ultimate tournament this weekend.

Yeah it sucks right? It's kind of like getting lynched for trying to defend yourself but no one listens anyway. Let's face it, We are fighting for our lives, even if it is just a game.

[ShadowLurker]

Sorry for not being on.. if you check my recent posts I have not posted anywhere or in any of my games.

Generally, I find that scum are more likely not to read the rules as they have less to gain. The fact that TSN knew of its existance

in the rules

is a point in his/her favor.
MoS' quick jumping on with

This is as good as lead as any.

and him dropping Charms so quickly is hugely suspicious.

Unvote, Vote MoS

[Joubert]

What makes you think he "dropped" Charms?

[Dark_Lady_Shaiann]

Generally, I find that scum are more likely not to read the rules as they have less to gain

I don't believe that for a second. Obviously in this particular game they do have more to gain. I read my role rules carefully, I don't believe being mafia would make me anymore careless, especially knowing that the moderators are allowed to tweak the rules.

[Dark_Lady_Shaiann]

In light of this new development, I think it's time for a vote change.

Since no one reads them anyway, I'm not going to rant about it. Figure it out for yourself.

[Happiest Sadist]

I don't really see anything suspicious of The Sweatpants Ninja reading the rules post. I read it too & noticed that detail. I also assumed everyone else did too. Since the ninja read the rules and the first pages of the thread right away its only natural to apply that information.

[Charms86]

Also, a good point.

I think Dark Lady was working too hard here to take the negative attention off her.
