Open 80 - Double Day Mafia (Game Over!)

[Gimbo]

but I don't want to be a lurker or

appear

to be hiding myself from being read.

The fact that you feel like this early in the game, you have to act exceptional and be a 'good'-townie rubs me the wrong way... too eager on your part?

tiniFoS: CF Riot -> just to get things started.

[CF Riot]

Sure that's fine. I don't mind being in the spotlight cause it should only clear me. Fire away.

[forbiddanlight]

Ok!

*darkens room, putting on an intensely bright light in CF's face*

What...is your name?

What..is your favorite color?!

And...what is the airspeed...of an unladen swallow!?!?


Alright, alright, getting serious, I actually agree slightly with gimbo that the "good townie" approach is somewhat suspicious, but I wouldn't put at much credence in a comment like that D1 so much as other days. However, I do want to see what Gimbo asks, if anything.

[killa seven]

gimbo, leed us to the scum boss.

[SpyreX]

Let us march forward to victory under the flag of... gimbo?

I'm scared.

Hold me.

[Gimbo]

lol K7 & SyreX, thanks for the ... compliment? ... hahahahaa

you know i could be helpful sometimes, lol

[LaptopGun]

I'm not sure what to make of this, but its a contradiction which jumped out at me.

I just wanted to say I haven't read up on him or had the first hand experience of playing in a game with him before. That's a contradiction how?

The "all I was trying to do was stoke up some serious questioning" sounds like a very weak explanation, and trying to paint himself town.

Yep. Take it or leave it. In hindsight my thoughts were not the most intelligent things to say, but they for a bit were invoking questioning. If all we do is chat about how long it's been since the last post or "All hail Gimbo our fearless leader," I have a hard time believing we are going to find many of the mafia.

You should know from Open 60 that I am given to flights of fancy when I see odd things.

No, I am not familiar with this. Link to an example from that game.

More to come on this. The short story is I felt JustinPlayfiar was acting completely contrary to our previous game together and 2 other players were setting another player up for a misliynch. I wouldn't shut up about it, going so far as to label him the "boogey man." Justin was our cop who was nightkilled that night and I apparently was instrumental in this. Incidentally, the other two players ended up being 2 of the mafia. To make matters worse, I felt Shteven acted bizarrely in agreeing with my statements and for the rest of the game never trusted him. He was town.

Really, then share what you've found so far, coz I must be missing it....

1. People for better or for worse are making a big deal about random voting, including myself. However in my opinion, there is no coloration between what they say and if they are acting pro town or pro mafia.

2. I think the people voting for me are town as they are pointing out flaws in my reasoning. This doesn't seem like the mafia begging for a mislynch.

3. SpyreX is coming off as the voice of reason. Seems to have exactly right thing to say about all the crazy

4. Gimbo hasnt had very good reactions to votes, but the humor and jokes seems to have mellowed him out.

[Bogre]

So, wow, how is it that I end up voting for what appears to be the only person who hasn't posted yet? (I could be wrong) Um...I know these games are a lot slower than I'm used to but there has to be some reason here :S.

What is the meaning of this statement?

[CF Riot]

Tyler.
Green.
Wtf??

Can you hand me some sunglasses? *squints*

1.) The discussion about random voting is, at least, a discussion. I'm glad to see it and, honestly, when the dust settles I think there is going to be some information to be gathered from it. To a degree I can see not connecting what they say with their role, but how they VOTE and how it sits as the game moves sure will.

2.) Yes, for the most part I'm getting townish vibes and not scummy ones from all of the players (with a few exceptions I plan on rereading).

3.) Aww, shucks. It seems like this stuff happens a lot and there's always one or two people that start a ruckus around the concept of jokevoting - and, it seems to me, that something useful is always garnished (unless someone powerscums and just gets hung for it)

4.) I cant read Gimbo for anything, but this is definitely Gimbo being Gimbo.

So, wow, how is it that I end up voting for what appears to be the only person who hasn't posted yet? (I could be wrong) Um...I know these games are a lot slower than I'm used to but there has to be some reason here :S.

This, REALLY, seems like a stretch. You're really placing a lot of onus for what is a random vote from you especially considering there's been no reply and, honeslty, when he does reply what do you expect in response?

FoS: forbid

[Bogre]

I agree with the above. Talking for the sake of throwing something out there, and making no sense.

[forbiddanlight]

Ok, part of it is getting used to a different forum. In the other forums I play in, a lot of random voting starts with calling out known inactives. When they show up, you vote another inactive. Now, I'm not sure how inactive is measured on these forums, but it's been at least 3 days, if not longer since the game started. I think I'm probably still thinking far too fast for this forum, but hope to slow down enough to keep up, so to speak. The point of that statement was to say "Hi, show up, dammit, so I can figure out something else to do". It wasn't PRECISELY a random vote, as it was focused on a group of people, the ones who hadn't spoken up by the time I posted. I'm just surprised that Voodoo still hasn't posted in what feels like forever to me. I understand the feeling I'm posting just to post, but to be honest, I was trying to hopefully spur this guy into talking eventually.

[Gimbo]

I understand the feeling I'm posting just to post

yea well if you are town, you might wanna stop doing that, this is the kind of things that causes mislynches on D1s

[forbiddanlight]

Yeah, understandable. That was phrased weird anyway. I meant I understood why people are feeling I'm doing that. But anyway, how often is D1 not a mislynch anyway? Someone's gonna get boned here. We can only hope it's scum.

[Corinthian]

I've only played in one other game on this site so far, and the lynches were: D1 the mafia godfather, D2 the serial killer, and D3 the mafia roleblocker.

I think it's a big mistake to assume we can't find scum on the first day.

[armlx]

Sure that's fine. I don't mind being in the spotlight cause it should only clear me. Fire away.

Baiting the bandwagon is not correct play. Especially in a vanilla set up.

The short story is I felt JustinPlayfiar was acting completely contrary to our previous game together and 2 other players were setting another player up for a misliynch.

I don't remember, was he claimed as cop by then? If not, That is completely different. Metagame based attacks are very valid.

What gimbo means here is add meaning to your posts, not stop posting. Also lols on Gimbo posting that.

[somestrangeflea]

Any players who have not yet posted (Lquiz and Voodo) have been prodded.

I will be out of town over the weekend. The amount of interwebs access I will have over this time is uncertain, but may be zero. I trust y'all won't break everything whilst I'm away...

We will return to our regularly scheduled programming on Sunday night/Monday morning.

unvote gimbo.

You hadn't replaced into the game yet. This was day 2. Justin never claimed, he just acted what I considered out of character. I was horrifyingly wrong though with crazy ideas. It's a cautionary tale for meta-attacks, but that was largely because my case was much stronger in my mind. And of course he was hiding something... he was just a cop.

We had another cop who basically claimed D1 because one player put some of pressure on him. The cop had gotten lucky in the first investigation and told us the attacker was actually one of the mafia. The cop incidentally lasted for a few days (reasoning, I don't know.)

When I get off my ass, I'll provide direct quotes for this. Probably 3 or 4 should suffice.

No, I reread all that. I thought you attacks then were valid, or I would have tried to get you lynched.

Rainmaker??? horray, i'm in that game too! we are on a streak!!!!!

[killa seven]

There also aren't cops in this game.
