Mini 1219 - Bedtime Stories Mafia - Game Over!

[Neruz]

Yeah i'm not seeing how Elli could have thought that was a lynch; there aren't enough votes in play to be confused about vote counts right now.

[Evil Bullet]

If you think he knew that then he would have faked being lynched and seemingly faked being town.

That's exactly what I think he did.

unvote, Vote: Ellibereth

[Banshee]

In my opinion Neruz's playstyle has changed dramatically in endgame. He's become extremely reasonable and even humble after a game full of insulting the other players and asserting his own mental superiority. Even his entry into the game was pretty scummy with the "Why are you not voting your top scumread?" argument. Yes, town should almost always be voting their top scumread. His motives for not doing so are confused repeatedly (go back and reread it, if you doubt me) and he says Thomith is under enough pressure at the time that Neruz says he picked up scumpoints when he's actually under none at all. (What are scumpoints anyway? It sounds like something you'd buy at the hardware store. But I digress.)

EB and implosion are conftown (yes, I know EB is not but he's town, so deal with it). Thomith should not vote for whichever one of them is left no matter what.

I believe implosion is right and if EB is alive tomorrow we can safely lynch (even me) and trust in him to keep us safe through the night, so we'll win anyway.

I just want to wait for implosion to weigh in once more and then I'm willing to vote for Elli even though I'm not sure he's scum. But I could be wrong on him, and someone has to compromise at this point so it may as well be me.

Since you keep bringing it up and seem

desperate

to know Banshee, the reason my attitude has changed in the last few weeks is because my overall attitude has actually changed. About five weeks ago some major changes in my life were implimented against my will in an attempt to combat my current depression and it was decided to try a different drug, however before i can start on the new drug the old one needs to be completely purged from my system, a process which takes about 4 - 6 weeks. The reason i've been reasonable and humble all of a sudden is because my emotional capability in general has been substantially reduced, both as a result of the deepening depression from the aforementioned life changes and as a result of not being on any antidepressants anymore.

tl:dr i'm not being aggressive and angry because i no longer possess the capability to give a shit about this game anymore. Come back in a few weeks if you want me to be angry again.

[Evil Bullet]

awkward...

[Thomith]

i still dont see how a change of attitude makes you scummy anyway, i have done it in quite afew games i have been in.

Mafia is a game of discerning attitudes. I was not desperate to know of personal events in your life, because I would have no way to know about them and could not be expected to take them into account, anymore than you could take into account my personal situation or how it might affect what we do inside and outside this game. We can only read what is there to read. I was judging you to be scum based on your postings in the thread, nothing more. If you feel uncomfortable that I was asking you questions about your behaviour in this thread, then I apologise. I honestly have no other way of finding scum or playing the game other than questioning others.

I am sorry for your personal situation. I do not think it's reasonable to infer that someone questioning your behaviour in the game is desperate to know about your personal situation, however. It is a GAME and people WILL ask questions about in game behaviours as a factor of the way the game is played. It's not meant as a personal slam at you or to be intrusive, any more than if you call me scummy it means you're passing judgment on my real life behaviour. It's important to keep these things distinct in order not to have situations like this.

VOTE: Ellibereth

[Thomith]

is that L-1 or L-0? Pretty sure it is L-1 but not sure.

[implosion]

That was the hammer.

[Thomith]

wait EB and banshee voted but who else did?

[implosion]

me and neruz.

[Banshee]

Yeah, sorry for not waiting for implosion before hammering but I really don't know what to make of Neruz's post to me and I just would rather have the day over and possibly the game over.

[Thomith]

Let's hope elli was the scum faking getting lynched to look town.

If not then i have no clue between banshee and neruz

[Neruz]

You kept bringing up the change in attitude as if it were a scumtell, i felt it wise to correct your erronious belief.

[Banshee]

Meh, whatever. I don't think it's the best idea to give that kind of information out over what someone thinks of you in a GAME.

If you are scum, though, it's the best stratagem ever, because I'm literally afraid to talk to you or vote you now. So EB will get his wish and lynch me tomorrow

[Thomith]

Just because of neruz's sad story i doubt he wants to be ignored/ not voted as well for me anyway it would make me feel worse to know everyone is ignoring me because of what has happened in my life, which is why i try to keep real life away from the internet but whatever.

[Neruz]

Meh, whatever. I don't think it's the best idea to give that kind of information out over what someone thinks of you in a GAME.

Why? There's nothing particulary special about being depressed.

[implosion]

Yeah, sorry for not waiting for implosion before hammering but I really don't know what to make of Neruz's post to me and I just would rather have the day over and possibly the game over.

It's okay.

I THINK this is game over, i REALLY hope it's game over. greyice needs to hurry up

[Neruz]

I will be a sad panda if it's not over, because that will mean it's either EB or Banshee :C

[implosion]

it IS NOT EB

do not imply that it can be EB

it is not EB. if it is EB then i am a sad panda. but it isn't.

yes, i know you used the phrase sad panda in your post too but i DO NOT CARE!

[Neruz]

Yeah i sincerely doubt it's EB, but the possibility

does

exist.

[Ellibereth]

i didn't notice it wasn't a fucking hammer because I just saw neruz's post with barely anytime and votes and whatever the shit and assumed I wasdead
and I am dead now anyways so screw this
we can talk about this crap postgame.

[GreyICE]

The day dragged on, and a decision was reached. Ellibereth, they agreed. He seemed so human on the first day, and yet as time passed he became less and less connected. Until finally, the children couldn't believe he was human. Until finally, they agreed that he had to die.

Again, they lifted the iron implements, browned with dry blood. Again they struck the warm body of one of their companions. And again they prayed the body would begin to change.

At last, Ellibereth lay still. The children stood around the body and waited.

And finally, the body began to transform. Limbs twisting, body stretching, the skeleton lengthened until finally, all that remained was a stretched, twisted, broken corpse. The children marveled that such a thing, with its spidery limbs and shrunken body, had once lived, and threatened them.

The nightmare was over. And they need hunt no more.

Mommy! They were all right?

Yes dear. They all lived happily ever after. Except the dead ones of course.

Ellibereth,

Mafia Goon

has been lynched day 5!

The town wins!

[Beck]

Woooooo nice job

[GreyICE]

Moderator thoughts in a bit.

I just wanted to apologize for the delay, I literally have just been helping a friend who is going on disability.

Your timing in this game with lynches was bizarrely aimed at every time I had hiccups in my schedule -_-
