The rules:
Rules:
* Remember, it’s a game. It’s supposed to played. It’s supposed to be fun. Do your part.
* Votes must be in bold. If you do not bold your vote, it will not be counted.
* Please be attentive and unvote, if necessary, before casting a new vote. This is not required, but I’d appreciate it.
* Lynches will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, his pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded. You may vote: no lynch – majority votes of this kind are necessary to end the day without a death.
* Once your death scene has been posted, you’re dead. Stop typing.
* Don’t edit/delete previously submitted posts
* Don’t quote any PMs from me.
* If you have a night choice to make, it is due by the posted deadline. I will not wait for you – if you do not submit a choice to me, tough! No choice will be made.
* If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment. Be considerate – don’t leave us hanging.
* Remember, it’s a game. It’s supposed to played. It’s supposed to be fun. Do your part.
* You may only discuss outside of the thread if you are mafia. No other players may discuss outside.

Uhm. . . I think a mistake was made. >_> Just pointing it out, since I saw it before it could be corrected.

[Simenon]

lololololololololololololololololololol

[AndrewS]

Oh, blah. Many apologies. Rerandomizing roles.

[IH]

THREADJACK:I'm calling this game. Ripley is sc-

Nevermind <.<

[AndrewS]

Alright. Roles have been rerandomized. Reconfirm.

Also, as a note: Randomization did NOT count previous role into play. Ripley might still be scum, he might not be. It was completely random as decided by random.org. Trying to metagame based on my mistake will not help anything.

[Ripley]

Well dammit. Outed as scum before you've even posted is crushing enough, but outed by that pesky IH who

wasn't even in the game

...

[spectrumvoid]

Cool. My first game with Sailor jerry ever... I'm stalking him...

[AndrewS]

Alright. Day 1. Again, don't worry about the metagame. Roles have been rerandomized. 4 to lynch.

[Simenon]

Wow

me-Ripley-pipinghell-Sailor Jerry
It's like 291 all over again.

Vote Sailor Jerry

[Ripley]

Yeah, the whole of the town from that game is back here, except for IH, and even he's managed to sneak in a guest appearance. And Simenon still voting for Sailor Jerry. It's like deja vu all over again.

Vote: MasterAlf

. Random.

[Simenon]

Hopefully, if anybody needs a replacement, the replacement will be IH.

[pipinghell]

Dag, yo, I was Ripley's original partner before the roles got re-randomized. I'm mildly disappointed. We would have ripped this town

up.

However, while I am no longer scum, I feel confident that he is.

vote: Ripley.

[Sailor Jerry]

VOTE... SPECTRUMVOID... LEAVE... ME... ALONE!!!!!!

Hehe just kidding... love you and your stalker ways. Be my valentine?

[poki]

Hi everyone!

From reading other newbie games I take it we go about throwing random votes on people at this point. Sooooo,

vote: Simenon

[spectrumvoid]

Is 291 the game where I replaced and got killed at night immediately?

[spectrumvoid]

Hang on a minute. Ripley: IC, SV: IC, SJ: IC, Simenon: IC?

Since when did we have 4 ICs?

[Ripley]

Is 291 the game where I replaced and got killed at night immediately?

No.

Since when did we have 4 ICs?

You and Sailor Jerry were the only ones on the IC list. You need to have played in 5 completed games, which I haven't.

[Simenon]

I qualify as an IC?

o_0

[MasterAlf]

I guess I should post saying I'm here. And wow. . . I'm the newest one here, glancing at the join dates.

I understand random votes are used as discussion starters, but I never really made the jump as to how people saying "I vote so-and-so for <insert random reason here that isn't really relevant>" can forge a way to meaningful conversation. I mean, I don't doubt it works, but how?

Guess I'm thinking too hard. Still, I feel like being difficult for now and not voting (yet). So I will!

[pipinghell]

The way I understand it, MasterAlf, is that random voting will generally lead to reactions. Who votes whom? How do they react? Does anyone put a second vote on?

Plus, there's really no other way to gear up the game, especially among strangers.

[Sailor Jerry]

unvote, vote: MasterAlf

[spectrumvoid]

I'm pretty bad with early day 1. Hence my stellar replacing in record. I think random votes spark off interesting converation for later though.

Oh ok. I was confused because I just looked at joined dates.

Generic IC advice: Take a look mafiawiki's page of commonly used abbreviations. At least for things like wifom, fos, los, etc.

A nice conversation starter I'm copying from Thok:

vote: no lynch

Discuss. (except SJ)

[Sailor Jerry]

:roll:

[Sailor Jerry]

Hmm... that should have been a smiley rolling its eyes...
