Mafia 29: Mafia - Game over!

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #5 (isolation #0) » Sun Dec 12, 2004 6:57 pm

Hmmm... how should I mark this game down on my stats? After all, I'm pro-mafia, not pro-town, so it doesn't really seem like it should count as a pro-town game. On the other hand, counting it as an anti-town game would screw up my stats.

Not voting, because random votes are silly.

Vote: JDTAY

for blatant, inexplicable bandwagonry.

A random bandwagon? Bandwagonry is a pox on mafia as it is, and doing it randomly is even worse.

Yeah, that was pretty un-called-for, HairyMezican.

unvote, vote HairyMezican

Seriously, you can play WIFOM games all you want. Lies don't help the mafia. I'm actually a lot happier with my vote right now than I was earlier.

For those of you who leapt on me: what did I do that was worse than what HairyMezican did?

So, last three people to vote, any reason behind your votes, or are you just being bloodthirsty?

Firing squad?

It's late and I have college applications to work on. I'll take a second look at my vote in a bit; the fact that there are still three unexplained votes on HairyMezican is a bit worrisome. You three care to speak up?

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #91 (isolation #11) » Wed Dec 15, 2004 5:42 am

You say we're gaining extra information from the discussion. How, then, are we lynching at random? I prefer to remain optimistic about the mafia's ability to actually pick up on cues in people's posts; if we can't, why even bother to play this game?

In other news, since HairyMezican seems to welcome being firing squadded, I'm happy to oblige. My vote stays.

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #105 (isolation #12) » Wed Dec 15, 2004 12:44 pm

I'm not necessarily for lynching HairyMezican, but I'm definitely against a no-lynch. Carpe Diem, people

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #120 (isolation #13) » Thu Dec 16, 2004 3:01 pm

No, going with the odds means we'll be down 1 and 2/3 mafia, 1/3 of a townie, and have more info. What's so wrong with that?

We don't have to make a random firing squad ever. You people are far too pessimistic! Why do you even play the game if you don't want to engage one of the primary activities of the game? We're supposed to look at people's posts and see if they look scummy.

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #143 (isolation #16) » Fri Dec 17, 2004 3:34 am

HairyMezican, you say that 2 people die each night. What makes you think that?

Yes, yes they are. I'm not sure that's worth killing somebody over, though.

The real problem here is that he looks as though he's protecting you, Mastermind of Sin, or both, using, as I have said, bullying and intimidation.

You're welcome.

Yes, I'm trying to protect HairyMezican. That's why I'm voting for him.

Mastermind of Sin, do you think before you post, or is spamming mindlessly the best you can do?

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #211 (isolation #24) » Mon Dec 20, 2004 9:20 am

Only it's more annoying to those of us who do care, as we're forced to slog through pages of spam if we hope to get any info on the game.

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #213 (isolation #25) » Mon Dec 20, 2004 9:36 am

How does my FOS mean anything more than your FOS? If your argument is that your FOS was meaningless, surely the same argument could be applied to mine, yes?

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #215 (isolation #26) » Mon Dec 20, 2004 9:49 am

This is serious business. The town has infiltrated us, and we have good intelligence that they plan to murder us one by one. Our minds must be sharp and focused, not diffuse and inattentive.

INMHO? That's a new one by me.

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #232 (isolation #28) » Tue Dec 21, 2004 7:20 am

These most recent posts of Coron's push him over the top in my mind.

unvote, vote Coron

. As usual, I have no wish to Nader the voting, so if there is a dire need, I could wander back over the the HairyMezican wagon, or if someone else does something townlike.

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #234 (isolation #29) » Tue Dec 21, 2004 12:32 pm

Again, making threats and seeming desperate.

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #237 (isolation #30) » Tue Dec 21, 2004 1:18 pm

OTOH, melchizedek has posted exactly

twice

. A lurker purge might be a good idea. I'll stick with my vote on Coron unless people think that lurkerpurging melch would be a good idea, because we have a deadline, but I think we really need to pay attention to melchizedek.

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #240 (isolation #31) » Tue Dec 21, 2004 3:56 pm

My only worry is that, with the deadline coming so soon, we won't be able to muster the requisite 6 votes on this egregious lurker.

unvote, vote: Melchizedek

.

I'm doing my part, are you?

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #243 (isolation #32) » Tue Dec 21, 2004 4:34 pm

I'm sorry. I hadn't noticed that melchizedek had only ever posted twice. Otherwise, I would have pointed it out sooner.

Don't be silly, Peacebringer. If you want an example of me playing this way, look at Day 1 of Newbie 66. I would rather lynch scum than lynch safe, and judging by the phenomenal amount of lurking melchizedek's been doing, I'd say the odds are pretty decent he's scum.

1) What vote?! I definately unvoted.

2) My last vote wasn't a third vote so it can be almost unbased

I think we're pretty much past that stage of the game. Thanks, though, for bringing into sharp relief how long it's been since melchizedek posted.

@Peacebringer: What I wanted you to notice was how I acted near the Day 1 deadline. I'm not happy just lynching a townie because a deadline is near. I only voted Commify as an absolute last resort. I tried to get people to go towards those I found more scummy. Right now, that's very, very melchizedek.

I mean c'mon! He's posted

twice

! That's beyond lurking and into a mystical realm of its own.

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #250 (isolation #34) » Tue Dec 21, 2004 5:21 pm

So people who don't post are always pro-town?

I'd be happy lynching coron or melchizedek at this point. It looks like nobody is at all worried about the fact that melchizedek has only posted

TWICE

, so I guess I'll

unvote: vote coron

I find his insistence to take our votes off established choices and focus on lurkers at this late stage of the game a bit towny. I'm almost wondering if there is someone with a lot of present votes that he is protecting. More of an intuition vote.

Crap Logic. You say I'm trying to move votes away from established choices, and this makes me scum. Then, you move your own vote away from an established choice. Hypocrisy.

Put a bit of an FOS on lazarusmoth here; I doubt a bandwagon on him would get anyware in the time we have remaining, but he's something to think about for tomorrow.

Also, ZONEACE, if nothing changes you will die at deadline. If'n you've got a claim, now's the time to make it.

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #275 (isolation #39) » Thu Dec 23, 2004 5:51 am

Peacebringer, you are incorrect. Firstly, thanks to Coron's action, even with your vote the two wagons aren't tied. Secondly, even if they are tied, the wagon that got there first wins.

olliep13, you are also incorrect. Specifically, you are quoting him out of context. You are ignoring the second part of his sentence "and we all know that 'No Lynch' isn't good for the town". Now, he may be wrong about this (e.g. I think No Lynch is preferable to lynching ZONEACE before he has a chance to claim), but he is at the very least consistent.

Locus Cosecant · Post Post #291 (isolation #40) » Fri Dec 24, 2004 9:57 am

I disagree. I leave tomorrow to go visit my relatives, so I won't be able to access the computer. Thus, a deadline would be convenient for me.
