Mafia 48: Himalayan Mafia - Game over!

[Lloyd]

i think i know what pooky's doing, but i'll wait to see what he says.

Mastermind of Sin,

Here's an opportunity lead the pack in Pooky's Captain Obvious competition...

Care to expound on your earlier thoughts now?

[Twomz]

It's so obvious, i don't think he needs to explain .

[Mr. Flay]

Let's define our terms a bit here. "

normal

" and "

weird

" are in relation to the way a Reasonable Player (as in the legal definition) would act. Fritzler, on the other hand, is acting more 'normal' than usual, which is

unusual

for him. DGB seems to be 'weird' in every game, including this one, so that makes it her

usual

behavior and therefore fairly useless as a tell. Have I summed up effectively?

I've kind of lost the thread of what's going on here (sorry, weekend was busier than I expected and relatively few chances to post here). I'm still happy with my vote on Fritzler, but I could switch to Pooky if he doesn't start addressing some of the things he's already promised. MoS disappoints me, but at least he's posting. There's too many lurkers overall, myself probably included.

[LoudmouthLee]

usual all out fritz with trying to catch scum and be crazy in every post

so you're saying that because fritz is normally crazy and all out when he's mafia

MoS, I interpreted what creampuffeater wrote, as an example of Fritzler being town in other games.

i'm not sure how you can say DGB is being normal (but wierd by mafia standards)

Yes I agree that DGB is wierd for mafia standards.

I enjoy reading her weirdness in varous games. I seconded Thok's nomination of her for The Coffee on the Monitor award.

You seem to be very buddy buddy with DGB. I implore you to look AWAY from your friendliness and lynch her, Lloyd. She masically SLIPPED. I quoted it and pounced on it RIGHT AWAY. I have referenced said quote a HUNDRED TIMES.

I'm even willing to bet my mafia life on it.

I've read this proposed slip probably five or six times each time you bring it up. I still don't understand it or what you're trying to say about it. I don't understand what DG was trying to get at with her odd question, but the fact that it's clearly a counterfactual (since it basically asks "If you were scum, would you recruit yourself, Fritzler?", which is obviously impossible) says to me that it doesn't say anything at all about her knowledge of Fritzler's alignment. All I can think is that you're reading the "if you were scum" part of the question as known to be an assumption, but since the question is hypothetical whether Fritzler is scum or not, I don't think that's a valid conclusion.

[Twomz]

I think the arguement is that it seems as if she knows that Fritz wasn't recruited... which would imply that him and/or her is mafia. At least that's what i get from it.

[neongrey]

*I am leaving tomorrow early AM for 7 days, I can only post, if at all, in the next 6-7 hours*

Either way, we won't get much out of her for a while yet. She does seem to be kind of squirming a little much, though.

[Mr. Flay]

I know it's a while ago, but I'd rather know what DG's original intent was with the question to Fritz. I think I can see where LML is going with this, but I don't have his certainty that it was a "slip". It looks more like pure illogic to me.

Keeping my vote where it is, but major FOS on Pooky for still keeping quiet.

Well, Pooky's lack of response has just turned my Fos into

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

The Huggle Alliance thing is still being tweaked a little.

The original design was for a multi-lynch game and we are currently overhauling the system for a standard normal game.

We hope to have the new system developed as soon as possible .

[Mastermind of Sin]

[neongrey]

Sounds like something that just sounded funny at the time, I guess...

Activity check: Prodding Fritzler, RandomActs, and TSAGod. Broomhead, DrippingGoofball and JamesSparrow are on vacation and should be back soon. Next check Saturday.

Seven days to deadline; I don't know exactly what my schedule will be like next Wednesday, so let's call it 11 AM Eastern, 3 PM GMT.

LoudMouthLee- 5 (Lloyd, DrippingGoofball, TSAGod, Fuldu, Twomz)

10 to lynch, 5 at deadline.

[Fritzler]

Hmm, Im much happier with the DGB vote than I am the LML.

[Yosarian2]

Well, we're heading for a deadline, and it seems like no one else is going to follow me to TSA right now, so I guess I'll join one of the bandwagons that might have a better chance to go somewhere today. I still really think we need to hear more from TSA, though, and if he dosn't start participating more I'll probably vote for him again tommorow.

(shrug) Anyway, based on my current gut feelings, out of the top 4 bandwagons, the 2 bandwagons I like the best are the Fritzer bandwagon and the Pooky wagon.

unvote:TSAGod

vote:Pooky

[DrippingGoofball]

I'll be out until Sunday (I am posting from an internet ice cream parlor).

Not sure if the Mod will allow it. But I'll try.

Proxy my vote to Lloyd

until further notice.

It seems to me Pooky isn't really helping the town for the amount of posts....it...has. With a deadline nearing, that's enough for a

[TheCesspit]

I see no reason to change, but I'd like to examine LML/DGB/Fritzler triumvarate more tomorrow.

LOL@Kirby

Sir I suggest you look at your own posting history before you criticize me for mine.

7 posts, all 1 liners, contributes nothing.

Who's the one not helping?

unless you're admitting to being mafia, i don't see how you can claim this to be a lynchworthy reason.

Another first for me: being prodded by the mod. Usually not an issue for me, but with a scarcity of facts available, the game has come down to discussing variations in personal behavior, and I haven't played with enough of you to say who's acting strangely.

There hasn't been any obvious overplays yet. So I think the remaining scum are, if not more experienced, at least competent at what their doing. Tidus was the exception of course. His inexperience showed. I"m still hoping he left some indicators behind that might help identify the rest of the scum.

[Twomz]

He did, and Hez pointed it out. But for one reason or another we're not following up on it right now...

That -must- be it. Thank you-- I'd been trying to wonder why I'd been having the trouble with this game that I have been having, and reading that, I realize that, yeah, I don't know much about all these minute behavioural points most of the things being said are hinging on.
