Newbie 1055 (Game over)

[SxyBeast]

hey srry ive been quiet my keyboard got a filter stuck and it took me about an hour to fix. so i just wanted to formally announce that im back.

[MrBump]

Meh, we're starting anew anyway:

UNVOTE: gapoc459

By exams I mean GCSEs for Britain and whatever they do in America.

Uh, so, does that mean we're at RVS again?

[gapoc459]

Yeah... We just need to wait until everyone posts.

They should be prodded immediately.

[Stefunny]

Gapoc they are given 72 hours before they are prodded.
And also, don't thank anyone yet. If it was a ploy to get votes off of you it worked for the time being. I am not yet convinced you are town

[SxyBeast]

well we should just keep that in mind. either it was a ploy or he is just really a noob. but that will be decided at a later time or at least till everyone posts

[gapoc459]

I'm not thanking anyone. Yes SxyBeast, I made mistakes, but you should all thank yourselves for not lynching someone who will help you in the future...

[gapoc459]

Also, SxyBeast, this is a Newbie Game. You should, technically, be a noob too.

[SxyBeast]

for this yes, but i have played multiple mafia games so i understand what i should generally do and not do. though this is a bit different with the phases lasting days

[gapoc459]

So, when can we prod the others?

[Stefunny]

well we should just keep that in mind. either it was a ploy or he is just really a noob. but that will be decided at a later time or at least till everyone posts

How do you feel about everyone who has posted so far?

I'm not thanking anyone. Yes SxyBeast, I made mistakes, but you should all thank yourselves for not lynching someone who will help you in the future...

Then why did you say Thank you?

[gapoc459]

How do you feel about everyone who has posted so far?

If that was directed to me, then:

gapoc459

: Sorry for all the confusion. But at least it was more interesting than RVS, where we are now again, more or less.

DavidParker

: Noticed my newbieness/scumminess right away; I rely on him to lead the search for the mafia.

MrBump

: I don't like it. Something is fishy here, but I don't know what. One thing is, he changes votes along with the SE's, but doesn't provide nearly as many helpful comments as you two. Maybe the Gapoc Episode was actually useful in finding mafia, that is MrBump, and not just fun (yes, even when I'm about to be lynched, it's much more fun than sitting around, waiting for activity).

Stefunny

: I understand the initial inactivity. If it weren't for that, the Gapoc Episode would probably never have happened. Anyway, I rely on you second most, after DP.

Doros

: It seems really fishy, that she didn't post today, after saying that she needed to read the thread. Anyway, that's probably just a lack of inactivity.

Haylen

: I was expecting much more from an IC. After all, wiki says: Lurking kills newbie games. There are only 7-9 players in the game as is, so there are a decreased number of people posting in the game to begin with. Do not subtract from that number. Make an effort to post in the game, and post regularly. As an IC you are at least partially responsible for the flow of the game, because very often the other players in the game will not understand why more discussion is a good thing. You want to lead by example. Secondly, you want to give the newbies a good first experience. GAMES WHERE NO ONE IS POSTING ARE NOT FUN. Give them a fun game. Give yourself a fun game. Don't lurk.

SxyBeast

:

I really don't know what to make of her play.

My two biggest suspicions are on MrBump, because of playing in the SE's shadow, and Haylen, who is not fulfilling her role as IC. SxyBeast and Doros are just playing weird.


You also asked why I said thank you?

I was thanking the mod for finally showing some activity, and for updating the votecount. Happy?

[gapoc459]

Those who haven't posted yet:

Vinoth: hasn't visited the site since Jan. 21
Vittorio Salamdien: has hidden his status, however, since he only has one post, I can assume he hasn't visited for a while

There is no point in waiting till we prod them, because they won't even receive their prods. Unless we can contact them via email, we should replace them.

[gapoc459]

Doros was just here, and now has left, without posting. If that's not called lurking, I don't know what is.

Vote: Doros

[MrBump]

I'm not thanking anyone. Yes SxyBeast, I made mistakes, but you should all thank yourselves for not lynching someone who will help you in the future...

I really don't like this post. Why are you defending yourself AFTER we've gotten off you?

Also, your accusation of me has absolutely nothing in it. You say I've been playing in the SE's shadow. I WAS THE FIRST ONE TO VOTE YOU. Taking off my vote is scummy now? I don't understand your logic

at all

.

You can't get a read on the only other person to post. Funny, that.

It would appear you're buddying up to the SE's already and calling them Town Leaders. What makes you call them town?

[Doros]

Busy...busy...busy. Sorry, I have kept some of you waiting. Anyways, back to the important things.

Can you all answer these please!

1. Is there any time coming up where we can expect you to not be very active?

I'm v/la at the Weekends but I will pop my head in.

2. Have you familiarized yourself with Mafia Discussion and the Wiki?

Duh. Wiki admin.

3. Have you read at least one completed game on site?

I like to think so.

4. What is your experience level? How many games have you played? Are there any complete newbies in the house? Does everyone know how the game in general works.

Played roughly 70 games, modded 12-ish now - the majority of which were newbie games. Currently playing IC'ing in two games, playing as a hydra and modding a newbie and large normal - soon running another newbie.

NOTE: I do not encourage random questioning about game theory because I've seen it be devastating for town before. (I should know, I was the scum asking the questions! >.<)

1. Is there any time coming up where we can expect you to not be very active?

When you don't see me posting anything, it means I'm busy with something.

2. Have you familiarized yourself with Mafia Discussion and the Wiki?

What Mafia discussion? By Wiki, do you mean the intro about the game at Wikipeddia? I looked at some of it quickly. Cute pictures of the roles, though.

3. Have you read at least one completed game on site?

I read the early part of some games.

4. What is your experience level? How many games have you played? Are there any complete newbies in the house? Does everyone know how the game in general works.

Yep, I must be the complete noob in the house. I'm guessing I know how the game works.

Anyways, I have a birthday party to go to. So I will catch you all later.

[Doros]

Doros was just here, and now has left, without posting. If that's not called lurking, I don't know what is.

Vote: Doros

Sorry gapoc459. I just caught your post. I was just typing my post and posting it. Anyways, I have to go. Talk to you later.

[gapoc459]

Oh, crap! You're saying that they could be mafia... Well, you're perfectly right, they could, but they didn't leave any suspicion. Then again, that could be because they're semi-experienced, unlike me. I'll have to keep this in mind.

Stefunny told me not to thank anyone, because I thanked the mod. I just said that I wasn't thanking anyone, except the mod. It's that simple...

My accusation of you might not have that much in it, but it has more than a possible accusation of either of the SE's, at this point, anyway. Your defense makes absolutely no sense, either. When you voted for me, it was RVS, and you gave no reason for it except that I have no avatar. So, you were not the first one to vote me based on real suspicions, and even if you were, you didn't say so, so I can't assume it.

Doros just posted, that it was due to a lack of time that she was inactive. Still fishy, but at least some reason. In the meantime,

Unvote: Doros

and, because your previous post has absolutely nothing useful except warning me that the SE's could be mafia,

FoS: MrBump

[Haylen]

I was going to post something but now I can't cause I'm angry. DO NOT accuse me of not being a good IC because I'm not posting, I posted 4 hours ago and I have stated clearly that I'm v/la at weekends.

[gapoc459]

I smell ATE... Anyway, I'll keep in mind that you're V/LA, but still, you're just more suspicious than the SE's.

[Stefunny]

She did post she was V/LA. I think EVERYONE needs to calm down, you don't seem to understand that we have 3 weeks to figure out who to lynch D1. You don't need everyone to post all the time. You have

72 hours

until you are prodded. (This will be the 3rd time I've said this, yet gapoc keeps pushing for replacments). Everyone needs to CALM DOWN and READ before you post. Skimming is a big no no around these parts.

Also, Gapoc, I told you not to thank anyone because in context you said Thank you right after 2 people unvoted you. I figured you were saying Thank You to those people for giving you a second chance.

[gapoc459]

Okay, I'll calm down. I'm just excited because this is my first mafia game. I know you have 72 hours, but still, they haven't even been on the website, so there's a big chance they won't even see their prods... Anyway, if they don't respond, how long before there'll be replacements?

Yes, I know why you asked me why I said that...

[Stefunny]

From what I have seen it does not take long to fill newbie slots. I could be wrong, but the last newbie game I was in was filled pretty quickly.

[MrBump]

You can't expect people to be on 24/7, Gapoc.

And also, why do you think I KEPT my vote on you the whole time? Because I agreed with the SE's. So supposedly agreeing with the people you view as ObvTown Leaders is scummy? Also, it never occurred to you they could me Maf, yet you were suspicious of Stefunny earlier for being an SE?

Stop contradicting yourself.

[gapoc459]

And 72 hours is for the mod, I'm allowed to request a prod starting at 11:00 tomorrow EST. Replacements might be in by Tuesday. I know you told me to calm down, but I'm just really excited about this. Sorry, I guess...

@MrBump: I've already told you, it's not necessarily scummy, but its more scummy then they are. Also, there is the fact that you're trying to defend yourself too much... It did occur to me that they could be Mafia, yes, that's why I voted, but not at the time I was writing the post. Besides, I was suspicious of Stefunny mainly because I was inactive. And if I were convinced that you were scummy, I'd have voted for you. I'm only FoSing you... You're just making it worse! Any other questions?

[gapoc459]

EBWOP: ... that's why I voted for Stefunny, ... because she was inactive.
