Newbie Game 1058: Murder in Bitville! (OVER!)

[Kcdaspot]

what about moth is scummy to you?

[Kcdaspot]

pah. cirno don't answer that until AFTER confirm stage..

g'nite. will post again bout noon-ish tomorrow here.

[Mist7676]

Confirming HEY KCDSPOT!!

[Hoppster]

/confirm.

/confirm

Welcome all, I am your friendly neighborhood IC! Note that this doesn't give me superpowers or anything (yes I was dissapointed, I wanted a cape))

Hey, you don't need superpowers to have a cape.

1: Have you ever played mafia before (either on this site or others or in real life)?
2: What is your timezone?
3: What is the sum of all the prime numbers from 1-100

1. Played a few games in RL, one game on site (Newbie 1030). I replaced into that though, so it's my first RV/RQS. I'm excited!
2. GMT. Yay UK!
3. If this is one of those RQS questions that's meant to get us to learn more about others, I think it's failing.

[Cirno]

Seeing as there is already a deadline, it is a waste of our time to wait until all players have confirmed.

[Hazard with a Glove]

Confirm.

Sorry, meant to post yesterday. I'm in Central time (-6) and this is my second game on MafiaScum, but also played much simpler versions of this on other forums.

Vote: Cirno

For being the post above mine.

[Cirno]

Seeing as we are central time buddies, how about you wagon moth with me? You will surely be rewarded.

[Kcdaspot]

needing 2 more.

[Cirno]

Yep, if we three central time buddies vote Mothrax, we only need two more for lynch.

[tylerjarvis]

Ok I'm on a real computer now. Let's see, where to start:

Also, a few questions:
1: Have you ever played mafia before (either on this site or others or in real life)?
2: What is your timezone?
3: What is the sum of all the prime numbers from 1-100

1. Yes. IRL, I used to play with my youth group. In not so real life, I've played one game here (Newbie 1041: flawless scum victory!) and several games on another, non-mafia dedicated forum.

2. I'm

also

in Central Time (TX to be exact).

3. 42.

So... There we go. I'll also

Unvote:SnuggieDoe

and then

Vote:Cirno

for moving towards a quick lynch. Why on earth do we want a quick lynch of Mothrax?

[Cirno]

I appreciate your concerns but don't you think your vote would be of better use lynching mothrax?

[Mist7676]

Im central time also!!

[Cirno]

You are very.... excitable, aren't you?

[Mist7676]

Yes pretty much

[Cirno]

You guys see this?

This is a face down tarot card. You guys don't listen to reason, so I'm gonna use this to convince you guys that you should lynch Mothrax. My mother happens to be a powerful psychic and I'm pretty sure that that kind of thing runs in the family, so theoretically I am a psychic as well. I'm gonna use these powers to decipher Mothrax's role. Please place your hand on the card, close your eyes, flip the card on the count of 3.

1...
2...
3...

Spoiler: Click to flip!

That settles that. Let's get to lynching him.

[Mist7676]

Ok posting itno more depth after readin what you all posted.

Spoiler: My Mafia Life

(1)I went to a theater camp and we played a game called mafiya. It was fun and I loved it.
(2) I signed up for a site called teennick.com and played slasher.
(3)Slasher broke down so I searched the forums for an answer.
(4) I found a website called epicmafia.com I joined there and fell in love.
(5) I stayed there for a month as a no avy and got negged to -30 and was lynched everyday.
(6) I self deleted and signed back up but this time with an avy. A change occoured and now i have 49 karma. (avys make a difference)
(7) I played forum mafia on the forums with PrimeIntellect and loved it better than epicmafia.
(8) I searched yahoo for "forum mafia" and found the wiki for this site.
(9) I clicked go to site and regestered. I couldn't figure out that pick a number thing so I finally gave up.
(10) A month later I retry signing up but this time I ask my dad what the answer is. He helps me and I get in.
(11) I replace into a large theme game for my first game here. (I showed the mod my other forum games and he let me in)
(12) I die d1 be a RL and decide to join a quick newbie game so I can become an SE.
(13) I end up here.

WOW done my fingers hurt now. Also I LOVE DAT SPOILER FEATURE.

[Cirno]

Please don't abuse it like that. Spoilers should be used for psychic divination only.

[Mist7676]

WTF

Spoiler: Why

Mothrax is mafia

Vote:mothrax

us central time zoners must stick together.

[mothrax]

Going to be ignoring cirno for now... As one of the greats once said to me "case or gtfo"

So, the moment you have all been waiting for! Mothrax's Do's and Don'ts of Mafia**:

Do:
1) Be Active
-This is probably the most important point. A slow game is an unfun game, an unfun game is generally an auto-scumwin.
2) Make Cases
-A large part of mafia is finding the scum (even as scum, you are "finding" the "scum") but the other part of that is convincing the rest of the town that you are right. Unfortunately saying "A is scum, lets lynch him/her/it" doesn't cut it. "A is scum because of This this this this and this is much more powerful.
3) Be Confident
-This plays into the last point. If you are wishy washy people won't believe you. Even if you think you might be wrong, own your case. If you end up being wrong, re-read and go on about yourself.
4) Read
-Not just read, but read well.
5) Ask questions
- If you don't understand something, just ask, a lot of people will be happy to answer.

Don'ts:
1) Break the rules.
-Obvious, but if you think it is against the rules don't do it. If you have a question about the rules, ask the mod.
2) Lurk
-Lurking is bad. Bad bad bad bad bad
3) Claim for no apparant reason.
- Remember, you are the only one who knows your role. Unless you are at L-1 (lynch minus one) with an intent to hammer, there is no reason to reveal your role.
4) Hammer without a claim
-self explanitory

Most of these are key to good town play, and by association key to good scum play as well.
If you have any questions at any time, feel free to ask me. Your SE players will be here as well to answer questions should I not be around, but the SE is the primary teaching role in this game.

Also, if you haven't already, feel free to take some time to familiarize yourself with some of the more site based lingo, found here at Commonly Used Abbreviations and here at the Glossary. I also strongly encourage you to take a look at the Theory section of the WiKi.

Mothrax, signing out.

[Hoppster]

You are very.... excitable, aren't you?

Is there no end to your psychic divination?!


And your tarot card trick... I can't seem to get it to work for me. I click the spoiler and a second card pops up, but the first remains unflipped.


Oh, and VOTE: Mist7676. For not knowing what a calculator is, and also being dangerously obsessed with numbers and spoilers.


@ mothrax: Not so sure that the self-hammer point is completely self-explanatory for a total newbie. (I get it, but I'm saying that somebody with no prior forum mafia experience may not.)

Also, what's your opinion on the Central Timezone Buddies United Mothrax Bandwagon? (not just crno)

[mothrax]

@hoopster I didn't mean self hammer. To clarify: unless there is someone who is not already voting you who is ready to vote, and that person will be the last vote needed for a lynch, don't claim.

Also, the cstalliancewagon on me is just any other early game wagon with no founding that will not go to lynch.

[Cirno]

>implying this wagon has brakes

[tylerjarvis]

Being a member of the Central Time Zone Buddies United, I am against the Mothrax bandwagon.

But all for a Cirno bandwagon at this point.

Cirno, you've got to give a reason for us to jump on Mothrax, otherwise you just look like scum. Townies want correct lynches, Scum just want lynches. You're looking like more of the latter.

I want to see what happens when we apply pressure.

[Mist7676]

I wanted to be cool and do the work myself.

[Cirno]

The following is an artist's rendition of my face when an uppity newbie peasant tried to lecture

me

, a genteel SE, about wagons.


Also, to save you time, allow me predict what will happen if you try to pressure me

1.Cirno pushes Mothrax wagon
2.tyler pressures Cirno
3.Cirno pushes Mothrax wagon
4.Cirno pushes Mothrax wagon

In conclusion, vote Mothrax.
