Mini 197- Points Mafia; Game over!

I think MeMe has some kind of weird post restriction.

Both her posts contained fos's or votes, and smiles. Anyone has any idea as to what this means? Maybe we should create some kind of smile system so she can express herself a little better.

I would say so. She probably got paid for accepting this rescriction.
Sorry guys, I didn't know the game had started.

Looks like a posting restriction to me. And it looks like we're right. I was wondering why she wasn't as vocal as the other game I played with her in...

I wonder. Is it possible the Mafia has that ability? To force posting restrictions on people?

FOS Nai

for ignoring the most likely explanation after blasting mlaker for not paying attention to the opening post

Uh... say what? FOS on me for ignoring the... I'm lost. However, I'm saying "posting restriction due to mafia" because we don't know what the mafia can do. Maybe she targeted them night 1 and they got an "immunity" or something? Or maybe I'm still just paranoid from the Dunwich Massacre mafia...

Gain points: Choose to take a disability (+1, 2, or 3, mod makes it up)

Trust MeMe to give something up to gain something.
Though I was worried that might be a mafia extra there...they would want to shut her up.

Guess I was wrong.

And going back to the SK point, the only reason I deem it moot is because of the mod's use of terminology. Maybe I should ask him about it. If he said mafia by mistake, when there is an SK and which would usually mean evil would be called "scum" or something,
I might get extra points too, eh? That's kinda game breaking though.

MeMe, could you give us a thumbs up in your next post if your restriction will last the rest of the game?

I'm wondering whether it would be useful for MeMe to reveal what level of disability she chose (+1, +2, or +3). While it would help us gauge how severe the disabilities will be, it would also help the mafia do the same. Since both sides want points, it's just a matter of who would benefit more from the extra points, mafia or town.

That's a three. I would hope so. I shudder to think at what would be worse.

This could get tedious, but would it be against the spirit of your restriction for me to post a cipher, where each symbol corresponds to a letter of the alphabet?

= yes, do this

= no don't

mlaker · Post Post #40 (ISO) » Thu Jun 16, 2005 9:01 am

A cipher would be good because anyone in the future who takes this posting restriction would be able to use it and still contribute to the game.

I would have expected that most people would have chosen a post restriction...Is it not a good way to accumulate points for the town?

Did you?

Nai · Post Post #44 (ISO) » Thu Jun 16, 2005 4:45 pm

Hmm... Now the mafia knows what the worst type of restriction is. Makes me wonder... The next person that gets a restriction; How will we know what side they are on? It seems the mafia would want this ability the most, wouldn't they?

Rereading that, I see it's a bit confusing. Thanks for pointing it out.

Well, like they said. Knowing this is a 3 point restriction helps both Mafia and townies. How much you wanna bet the next restricted guy is Mafia, just trying to get extra points?

MeMe · Post Post #47 (ISO) » Thu Jun 16, 2005 6:08 pm

unvote: mlaker
vote: Nai

Naughty above poster!

Everybody would be doing it/going for it so there is a chance they could be a townie too?

I don't think buying the restriction makes you look more or less scummy. Useful to either side.

Something to keep in mind: Anybody can clear themself by issuing a mayor pardon, since only town can buy mayor. So if you have at least 2 points unspent, you can take a restriction (if needed), and spend 5 to clear yourself if you are bandwagoned. I asked the mod, and you can buy abilities during the day.

I think we all should consider holding onto enough points to do a mayor pardon. If most of us are able to do this, it should be an easy game. In fact maybe each of us should claim whether we have at least 2 unspent points or not? Thoughts?
