Mini 914 ~ Mafia Reverberation (Game Over!)

[Nikanor]

Yep, I'm in this game! Wheeeee.
(I'm actually just starting my read now, blame it on Spy making me lazy with his reverse causality Incant).

[Nikanor]

Sure, it's a good colour...if you like being stabbed in the eyes.

Ouch.

Die scum die.

Incant: Jazzmyn

[Nikanor]

I'm totally serious about that incant, too. Think how I accused Sotty7, Kreriov, and Col.Cathart in Picking Simplicity, for those of you who have read it. That's the same thing as this here.

[Nikanor]

Anyone find it odd porkens is playing the newbcard when he's not a newb?

Rhinox makes sense as scum, too.

[Nikanor]

But it's still there regardless. I don't think it's going to make amazingly more likely to be lynched, but facts are facts, right? I dunno, I just think it was a bit of an impetuous decision (though that doesn't necessarily say anything about alignment I guess).

Reaching! If it has nothing to do with alignment, why bother mentioning it?

[Nikanor]

incant: porkens its the best I've got right now. Whether or not he really is a newb, theres really no reason to pull out the newb card pre-emptively before he'd even done anything to warrant needing the newb card. Its like he's pre-emptively defending himself.

This is still scummy.

[Nikanor]

What about for those of us who haven't?

Ask SpyreX, Sotty7 or SC about it. I'm not allowed to talk about my own meta.

[Nikanor]

Oh...and Rhinox is scum...just gut at this point but I feel I have played with him enough, as both town and scum, that I get a vibe from him.

You are a smart one.

That was quick. Did you pick it up by his first post or his second?

Oh snap! The truth is that incanting Porkens for something that was obviously a joke is scummy, especially when the joke was made around page two and you're now on page six.

Thanks. That makes sense, and it conforms to my investi-googling results from which I found that Spaceballs™ is a parody/satire movie that is pretty funny (based on the several short clips I watched), and that the merchandising/moychandizing references in the game thread's OP come from that movie. Clearly, I need more lowbrow humour in my life.

But I still don't get how that movie relates to the rest of the OP or this game overall, so I'm guessing that it's a one-off and that I'm not intended to understand it.

My investi-Googling, however, has not been very successful in figuring out some of the other terms and abilities referenced in the GM's opening post, so I'm still somewhat baffled. And I can't make any sense out of the multiple zombie and wizard references by players either.

So, for now, I think that I just have to accept that I don't get it and treat this game more or less as a normal game and hope that I can figure out the parts I don't understand as the game evolves.

Also, I can't make much sense out of the Sotty7 wagon being as large as it is. She seems to be one of the more active players so far, and I don't see anything with her posts/scumhunting. There isn't much to go on yet, but at least she's actively hunting, which is something I personally find difficult in the early stages of a game, so I'm not going to criticize her for it.

Am I reading the Reporter stuff properly in concluding that a Reporter win =/= a Darkness loss? In other words, a third party whose win does not mean our loss, but a parallel win? If so, then I don't see any harm in Spyrex revealing his doublevote ability as he did when he did.

I'm going to re-read the game this afternoon or tonight, so more later.

So many lines for so little scumhunting.

Also, if I'm scum, why are you voting spy?

Again, scum. (Because Spy already addressed this).

fair warning for... what exactly if your not a real noob?

Ellipses are scummy, don't you know that?

But with the lynch mechanism as it is - i.e. that all players who reach the necessary purge level will die - if there was a tie and both town and scum were going to be purged, doublevoting for a third player wouldn't save the first two from getting purged, it would only potentially cause the third player to be also be purged, wouldn't it?

Active lurking. Stuff like this doesn't really have a place on page six.

As if on cue. Now it really does look like you're intentionally lurking. You don't post for a week, but miraculously show up as soon as you're suspected for lurking? suspicious...

Scumscumscumscumscumscumscumscumscusmcusmcuscms

I don't need to read the rest of the topic at this point. I'll just be tunneling on Jazz and Rhinox anyway.

Incant: Rhinox.

[Nikanor]

Nikanor, since you mentioned it, I'm looking over your posts from Picking Simplicity in ISO. Can you tell me just briefly what this referred to:

The not serious, kind of joking playstyle that I use in that game. I have taken a liking to it, as you might be able to see.

[Nikanor]

Rhinox, well.

Well what? Do you agree or don't you?

[Nikanor]

Necessarily being the operative word. What do you think of Spy's reasoning for double voting Sotty at that time?

In one word: Distancing. If Spy flips scum, I'd purge Sotty in an instant.

I don't know what this means and I don't plan to read this game. Do tell.

Since you asked so nicely, and since others don't seem to be willing to cooperate, I'll tell you. Basically, I only 'called' scum as I have in my last few posts with Jazz and Rhinox for three people: Sotty, Kreriov, and Col.Cathart. Sotty and Krer were mafia, Col was the SK. Even though nobody in that game believed me at the time, I turned out to be right. I'm hoping this time goes a little better.

Anyway, I'd be happy doublepurging Jazzmyn and Rhinox now.

[Nikanor]

C'mon now, work with me here. One of those and SC or if I'm absolutely not going to get that, zoraster (though I don't think his lurking means anything any more). The point of two purges is that we can make everybody happy!

Okay, Rhinox and SC then. ^5 compromise!

Query: Where did everyone else go?

[Nikanor]

This kinda sucks. Zoraster + (Porkens/Jazzmyn) FTW.

*Sigh* Okay. Jazz+SC purge. Now everyone will be happy (except Jazz and SC, who will be dead(?)).

[Nikanor]

No, why?

[Nikanor]

Should I?

[Nikanor]

Jazz has played differently from the posts you mentioned. Her reasons seem to be partially real life issues and partially meta, which is something you could comment on and say is valid or not.

Ironically, part of the reason I voted her was for meta. In the two games I've played with her where she was town, never did she post this much fluff in her posts. Although maybe I should read the entire thread to make sure it's a trend all the way through.

Do you think SC is scum? Your Rhinox case is ok.

I don't particularly think SC is scum, but enough people think (or 'think') SC is scum to get decent reads from a SC lynch.

[Nikanor]

@Mod: Massprod please? I find the lack of activity in this game disturbing.

[Nikanor]

Okay, parting words, since I assume I'm out again as soon as nacho gets back from V/LA:
Rhinox is scum. If he's not lynched today I will cry.

Have fun guys!

[Nikanor]

Oh hey, I called two of three scum! Not too shabby.
Great game, Vi! It was far too short.

[Nikanor]

Hehe, thanks guys! I enjoyed playing in the game for as short a period as I had. I'm glad I accepted your invitation, Vi.

Whatever the mojo is in your games is awesome Vi.

100% agree. I'm going to try to not miss another Vi game from now on. *Stalk stalk*

[Nikanor]

And I think cute avatars help make you look pro-town.

This is actually true.

Maybe I should try this....

[Nikanor]

I don't think that one's going to work tbh. Try going for something less otaku and with a higher image quality.

Ugh. Okay.
How's this one?

[Nikanor]

What if I put up a picture of... yourself?

How's this one? I started using GIMP instead of Paint to edit my pictures; I figured that would make my image quality a little bit better. :/

[Nikanor]

Oh well. I'll just stick with this one (I flipped the picture around, hehehe).
It makes me feel all feminine and stuff.
