OK, we're up to page 4. In the past
3
days, only jmar and I have posted. If you are actively lurking, then please tell us that. Otherwise we will probably have to get a fair few replacements.

Please don't kill this game by not posting...

Sorry everyone, but after a very nasty uproar on another game, I've found that I do not care for the flavor of mafia games played on this board. You guys have been mostly fine so far, but the stupid rudeness I've had to put up with in another game has taken the fun out of it.

I resign.
Mod, replace me.

I'd urge you to stay. There are a couple bad apples here on mafiascum, true, but most of us are pretty cordial individuals. If you're really set on it I don't mean to stop you, but one bad experience shouldn't be indicative of the entire site.

Alright, I'm back. I've been in and out like crazy for the last week, but I should be consistently in for a while. I still don't see anything significant enough to warrant a vote, but that could change shortly.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

Been lurking, mostly, given how I haven't had much time to actually post. (Coursework and the ilk.)

Anyway, I figure I may as well stay on the Hangem vote, since I prefer not to change my vote without a "better" target to switch to. Also, northjayhawk, I might just be being slightly dense, but I can't actually see what questions there were I'm meant to be answering? (Unless, of course, I misread that and you were referring to Hangem, in which case, apologies for the confusion.)

OK, thanks for that, everyone has indicated that they are still paying attention
EXCEPT
Hangem. Go Figure.

Also, it's a pity about your bad experience, but you still ought to try and play through it. I'm one of those people who finds an online game, sticks with it for a time, then drops off the radar for about 6 months whilst focusing on others. I've found one of those 'others', yet I'm sticking with the game to avoid looking like a lurker for any metagamers. So please stay, and just try and avoid playing with that certain player again.

TWBAEIIWABIISTIANPI: Chris didn't respond to my post request either. jmar's post in that block threw me off count.

And to IH, this game is getting nowhere and a deadline
might
help us get back in play.

Hang 'em has been sitting at L-1 for quite a while now, and hasn't responded. Resigned himself to the gallows? (I realize I shouldn't be slamming anyone for not posting). I'm thinking that I might cast the lynch vote in a day, just to see if the pressure will provoke anything.

Yeah, don't lynch him yet. It will be best with a replacement. Otherwise he could come up ANYTHING!!! And plus we wouldn't get very much information from it. Information -> Good for us -> We have higher chance of beating the Mafia. And vice versa. So no-one ought to lynch Hang 'em (yet).

Sorry guys, I've been away from the site. My life has been hectic.

I'll give you a deadline. Have someone lynched by January 6th pluz.

If North Jay hawk wants to be replaced, I'll search for one, I will also be sending out prods and have a votecount soon.

Don't let this game die. That'd be great. [/bill Lumberg]

OK, we're back in business! If we can get everyone (without exceptions) posting again, and have something to post about. In the meantime, we need analyses. And when Hang 'em (or his possible replacement) returns, then we can finally get some answers. I'll post an analaysis later, and in the meantime, I'd like to see what you people think. We need to get this game moving again.

Also,
IH, what are your rules about deadline? I would like to know:
1. if deadlines are retractable?
2. what happens if deadline passes?


We need this game back in play.

Relax; I was never going to actually lynch him; I just hoped that it would scare him into posting. Anybody who knows me (which may be nobody here) knows that I'm not about to do anything hasty.

Damn this. This is going nowhere and won't until Chris and Hang 'em, especially Hang 'em, return/are replaced.

This is ridiculous. I understand the deadline is to get us talking, but with Hang 'em not here and he being everyone's top suspect, the game is not going anywhere. He needs to be replaced before we can really move further.

We
need
Hang 'em replaced as it has been 3 days and we need to get the game going again. That won't happen until he is replaced, therefore he needs a replacement ASAP.

Game is officially dead. Unless, of course, Hang 'em gets replaced, in which case the game is necromancified :P

Ok sorry guys, I got even lurkier = (

Working on things including replacements and prods. Anyone who hasn't posted in a sufficient amount of time will be replaced instead of prodded. Sorry guys = ( I'll give a deadline extension of a week and a half when replacements come in.

Highest number of votes lynch btw.

JDGA, since you're the only active player, do you want to abandon, or do you want me to hunt for replacements?

I'm here and willing to play; though I'm afraid that four replacements will turn this into an entirely different game.

I believe that JDGA, who has been the most active person, and only active person for around the last two weeks, has decided he wants to abandon.

So I guess we'll abandon = (

I apologize people, I would have revived the game but it would have turned into more of an invitational than a newbie game. Go resign in the queue. = \
