Thespival Mafia (Denouement)

GS wagon

I don't know. My gut tells me that if tyhess is scum, then two opposing scum groups is a possibility. I mean, how overpowered would tyhess be if he could recruit townies and take their votes away? Of course, we can't discount the fact that there may be additional game mechanics that we don't know about, as stated in the CotC Recruiter card.

I agree with petro, but only IF tyhess doesn't have any more important potential game-altering mechanics hidden away. It's up to him to use his best judgment on the situation. If tyhess is pro-town, no need to let us know about these mechanics unless it is absolutely necessary. No point in giving the scum any advantages that we could have otherwise prevented.

@Players who haven't posted much: I want your opinions on GS and the idea of tyhess not recruiting anyone.

If tyhess gets too powerful, the mafia will just try to shoot him as they know that tyhess is against them.

unvote: Dani Banani
vote: Iammars

Right, right.

And if tyhess is mafia I suppose the town would just lose because it would probably take like 2-3 days before the scum's vote outnumbered the town's, unless the town has some way to nightkill or daykill him.

FoS: Iammars

[mith]

Hm.

I typed out some thoughts, but then I decided I would rather let some other people comment on this first. Particularly tyhess. So I'll post my thoughts later. But it is definitely worth discussing.

[mith]

Gah, I should really preview when I get distracted in the middle of a post.

FOS: Iammars

as well.

Eesh, I'm running out of fingers in this game.

[hasdgfas]

hallelujah MeMe!

unvote, vote: Iammars

[Iammars]

Oh damn, you're right. I totally missed that tyhess could be mafia. I only considered tyhess to be town or cult. Ouch, that would suck. I retract my previous comment on the basis of idiocy (or as much as I can in a game of mafia.)

[Dani Banani]

I really dislike people (semi-)random voting when they have actual suspects.

if you want to quick-lynch GS, go for it... i'm not sold that his response wasn't more of a personality clash than a scum slip... yes, i realize i'm semi-defending him, but only b/c i've been in the same situation myself... being under the gun for having an objection to the plans of the masses (if you recall, i was townie in that game, so my objections

weren't

based on alignment...)

I don't mind a quickish day 1 lynch, but we should make sure we get any important information we can first.

important information like whether or not we can rule out certain roles, such as a lyncher, right?

Dani Banani, any reason you chose to explain why you were not voting Greasy spot with your semi-random vote on MoS?

the semi-random vote was an afterthought in that post... the two aren't connected...

what was the not so random part of the vote on MoS?

of the list of players in the game, i eliminated the players who had posted after Day 1 had started... of the 8 players left, i only recognized 3 names from Thespival (alky, Fletch, & MoS)... of the 3, i found MoS hardest to read @ Thespival, so i thought an off-the-wall vote would be the best way to get a reaction...

[RossWilliam]

hey alll...sorry for my first post being five pages in, i'm in the middle of some college auditions, so business all around. Will be done in three days though, so I won't be a slug for long. Read the thread, and agree with suspicion on both GS and Iammars. I don't think it's possible to just assume someone could be either town or cult, if your a simple townie. All townies come in with the glaring mindset that O-M-G, anybody could be anybody, and there is no real assumptions or omissions like the one Iammars made possible.

Greasy spot is just sketchy all around, and unnecessary so. Nothing insightful to add there, really.

I would vote GS now, but I'll honor mith's wishes. I'm ready to jump on it ASAP though. I find him more scummy than Iammars.

[Iammars]

Normally you're right. However, I've seen both town cults and cult cults, so the prospect of a mafia cult didn't even some up to me.

[al_kohaulec]

Oh Noes!! o.O

Without getting emails, I got distracted this week with classes starting and forgot this was starting >.<

I'll try to read Friday night. I have one year of Chemistry I need to learn by Friday morning...

Upon further reflection, I think that tyhess has either got significant additional powers/mechanics and/or he's neither town nor mafia. If he's neither town nor mafia, he either has separate, unique win conditions or he simply is cult cult. Argh, that CotC is a complete mindfuck.

In the case of Iammars, I'm not quite sure if that was a brain fart or a slip of the Freudian variety. Does anyone have any meta examples of Iammars slipping up? Nonetheless,

FOS

. Props to MeMe for pointing it out.

@MeMe: For the love of humanity, please change your avatar. It's scary. I keep expecting it to suddenly look at me every time I see it.

[Mastermind of Sin]

Original Roll String: 1d21

1 21-Sided Dice: (21) = 21

[Mastermind of Sin]

Vote: Tyhess

This cult thing needs to be stopped before it grows out of proportion. We can't let Tyhess roam free.

[Mastermind of Sin]

Haven't read the thread yet, but I saw this:

@MeMe: For the love of humanity, please change your avatar. It's scary. I keep expecting it to suddenly look at me every time I see it.

She's had that avatar longer than I've been a member of this site. I think you may have the dubious honor of being the only person to ever complain about it.

[mith]

This dice tag voting needs to be stopped before someone does it again. Ever.

Way to avoid responsibility for you actions, MoS. Are you scum with Dani?

[Greasy Spot]

mith - you sure do like to point the finger alot.Are you Scum?

[mith]

Never in a game of Mafia has one been as innocent as I am now.

But you already knew that, scum.

[Dani Banani]

Original Roll String: 1d21 (STATIC)

1 21-Sided Dice: (18) = 18

something fishy is going on here... @ 3:00A EST, this post had a result of 20, now @8:00A EST, this post has a result of 18... i have the screenshots to prove it...

link 1
link 2

also, a result of 18 isn't tyhess... but 20 is... anyone have a viable reason how this could have happened?..

i saw what you did there...

You're running Vista?

[mith]

Huh.

I checked another old dice tag, and it has changed too. I am guessing it has something to do with the server upgrade. But why that would affect the dice tags... beats me.

[Dani Banani]

I am guessing it has something to do with the server upgrade.

i guess that would explain the Internal Server Error i got this morning...

But why that would affect the dice tags... beats me.

maybe the move caused the new server to re-randomize the numbers?..

which means MoS' roll was real, and not fixed... which means he used craplogic to justify his random vote... not sure if that's scummy or not, but at first, i thought he had somehow fixed the roll so it would land on tyhess... meh, i'm mainly just thinking out loud here...

[mith]

It wasn't a move, just an upgrade to the current server.

Anyway, I believe MoS's roll was real. That doesn't change the fact that dice voting is a Deadly Sin of Mafia.
