Open 117: Bird C9 - Game Over! before 745

[zwetschenwasser]

Yikes! So, who's scummy around here?

[Sironigous]

Hey Zwet.

What's "lylo" mean?

I've never heard that one.

[nicoliosgotpolio]

lylo = Lynch or Lose.

[Sironigous]

Ah k.

Thanks Nico.

[UnofficialRulerOfEveryone]

I will re-read tonight, please excuse my absence.

[hohum]

You make very concise and analytical posts like this:

A mis-lynch will make the majority of Day 2 5, considering that the mafia nightkill a townie (lol why wouldn't they) and the doctor misses his protect.

That means that the remaining 3 townies, still unaware of their counterparts, have to band together for a majority in order to have a chance at winning. :S

mm..

And also make excuses for dropping scum tells:

Voting with almost no reason at all? Seriously? You look for a reason why you should take your vote off him, how about a good reason of why you voted for him?

QFT

I'm not buying it. I see you haven't played in very many games here yet but it sounds like you know better, and you're playing the newbie card strategically.

[hohum]

sorry I misquoted above. let me fine the correct quote

[hohum]

Other than that, take that vote as, well, an uninformed, conspicuously placed Day 1 vote, one of those spiffy beginner things.

I'm sorry, I don't know what you people are looking for.

[zwetschenwasser]

I don't think he's playing a newbie card. He just started playing Mafia. And he retracted his statement (I think).

[Sironigous]

Oh. Haha.

I like math.

But really, this is my first game. I am still utterly confused at how to determine who's scum or not. (lol)

I mean, I guess I got "jumped" for those other statements. So I guess that's not the best route...

[Sironigous]

One more thing - What's EBWOP? Sorry...

[zwetschenwasser]

Edit By Way Of Post.

One more thing - What's FTW? Sorry...

[hohum]

Edit by Way of Post.

It's going to be interesting to see how you play for the rest of the game.

[hohum]

One more thing - What's FTW? Sorry...

In what context did you see someone say FTW?

It usually means "For the Win" but could be something completely different in mafia, not sure.

[zwetschenwasser]

It was a joke, mimicking Sir.

[hohum]

I'm going to put my IC hat on for a second and note that there hasn't been much real content over the last page and a half or so. Mostly just a very mild undertone of bickering back and fourth, some questions related to mafia in general and a busy post from UnofficialRulerOfEveryone.

I jumped onto Sironigous to get some more discussion going for lack of any other activity. I'd like to hear some opinions from the rest of you as to whether you think my analysis is correct, or whether you would lean in the other direction, and why? Please put some thought and detail into your posts.

Hopefully we can take this game in a few other directions from there.

[Sironigous]

....

uh... What's IC? Sorry. lol

[Sironigous]

EBWOP:

(yes, I got to use it!)

Nevermind. I'm going to the wiki.

*turns off bother meter*

[hohum]

Inexperience Challenged.

Every game run in the newbie queue as at last two experienced players that are referred to as ICs who are in the games specifically to guide newbies and answer these types of questions. It makes me wonder why you guys wandered into the open game queue for your first games, but I guess it really doesn't matter. I'd rather help you out than sit here and whine about it just so we can get some progress going.

[Sironigous]

Well, thanks for the consideration hohum.

So, this first lynch is important... Where can we go?... Progress...

We have...


information, not much.
retracted statements, much.

Can retracted statements be the key lead-on to determine the all-important Day 1 lynch??

Find out, on the next posts of Bird C9!!!

Retracted statements can be useful in hindsight. if everyone could simply retract a statement after they drop a scum tell the game would be pointless.

That's why I couldn't picture lynching you based on what I just brought up alone. Time will tell though based on the things you say next whether or not I was right.

I'd still like to hear everyone else's opinion on the matter though for two reasons.

1) The discussion will lead us somewhere else
2) The way people answer will also give us some useful information to go on.

[zwetschenwasser]

hohum, who else is new besides Sir?

[zwetschenwasser]

And I think I already gave my opinion...

[hohum]

ThaCoolness based on title and actions thus far and nicoliosgotpolio based on title alone
