I make typos sometimes, (the "no's" meant know BTW) I will be more careful.massive wrote:I'm trying to decide if I think Matt_S is being a responsible townie, or is simply acting like one so we all trust him.
Spindax: Can you explain some of your reasoning behind how Khelvaster's "plan" might have been a trap?
destructor: Two times in the first page, you've mentioned the possibility that Mafia have been given safe-claims. Do you consider this a commonplace occurence in Mafia games?
unvote, vote eljcko
Your last post was completely noncommital, almost as if you were unwilling to pick a side, waiting to see which way the town would twist. Plus, your spelling is rEdiculous.
I gave a FOS because it is very odd to call for a mass nameclaim right off the bat, a better explination would be helpful.
I agree with lots of things Matt_S said. A mass nameclaim is pretty pro-town, but this early in the game is odd. Why is he asking for specific names such as Frodo or Sam? Could be looking for power rolls? I need more info.
For now, I will still remain undecided in my vote, just until Khelvaster gets a better chance to explain himself more in-depth, then I will decide if I want to lynch him. Its very possible he is a power roll, I need more to go on.-

I assumed that anyone who does have a big name is either a power role or scum, seeing as I don't. Again, a name claim probably isn't a scum's best strategy, so I'm less suspicious of Khelvaster. You, however, put a second vote on me for arguing against a name claim. Not scummy in itself, but this seems to tell me you're not a vanilla townie. And considering I stated that the reason for my reluctance to vote for Khelvaster(him being a possible power role), it seems odd that you'd immediately vote me. I don't see a power role voting someone who claims to fear for the power roles' safety. However, for a scum, it's a nice reason to put a second vote on someone.destructor wrote:Actually, I think if we're going to do it, the earlier the better. But we've already heard that at least two players have non-fellowship role names and I'd be surprised if scum haven't been given safe claims anyway, which makes me cynical to how effective it would be.
Matt_S, you sound a little paranoid. I don't think you should have voted for me, but if you still feel it's worthwhile can you tell us why?
So yeah, I think you(I'll refer to you from the 3rd person from now on) were scummy enough to get a vote. But I've got my sights on someone else now.Unvote, Vote eljcko. He agrees with a lot of stuff I say according to him, yet his suspicions are on Khelvaster for thinking a name claim could actually be to the town's advantage. He seemed to ignore my argument against destructor. Along those lines, there's a few others that I found suspicious.
FoS ting =)
For giving me an odd feeling. Doesn't seem to know the same stuff I do.
FoS GSGold
For not seeming to know what I know, too.
Of course there's always the possibility that my pm is different than everyone's in case the mod's evil.
As for CoolBot, he's not cleared in my eyes. A few things about his post make me nervous, but it's too early for me to do something. It's not enough for a FoS, but something doesn't fit.Show"So I went to the librarian in the biology section and asked her if she could find me a map of the cat." -Richard Feynman

Yes, at least I think it should be or, like Coolbot said, it makes a game very broken. Also, I have recent experience in an ongoing game where a mass name-claim hasn't outed scum.massive wrote:destructor: Two times in the first page, you've mentioned the possibility that Mafia have been given safe-claims.

Because what I know is something I learned from my role PM. I'm going on the assumption that all vanilla townies got the same pm(or at least with the same information), which I don't think is a bad thing to assume. I'm kind of trying to keep exactly what this "info" is a secret from everyone else, and nobody really seems to know exactly what I know. Of course nobody who's posted lets on that they know what I know, so I only FoS'd the people who seemed to argue the most for my point without actually putting forward what vanillas know. Just an FYI, if anyone thinks they know exactly why I'm opposed to a name claim, then please come forward. If you got the same pm as me, it should be obvious why having everyone say their name wouldn't work at all.destructor wrote:

Of course I'm really paranoid because last night I thought I gave too much information and screwed the town. And the more I go on, the more I think I'm the only one who actually has this knowledge.Show"So I went to the librarian in the biology section and asked her if she could find me a map of the cat." -Richard Feynman

If there are exactly 3 people who aren't part of the fellowship, then I believe the 3 who aren't will need to claim their names. Not their roles, mind you, but their names.
If there are less than 3 people, someone has to be lying. A mass nameclaim will occur.
If there are more than 3 people, then nothing bad comes from this. I seriously doubt the mafia can tell whether you are a power role and, if so, whether it's important to kill you or not just based upon the fact that you are or aren't in the fellowship.Lag actually does exist in real life. For proof, look no further than Jesus: When he died, it took him three *days* to respawn.-

I'll wait for another townie to come and tell you why that won't work. But trust me, it won't.Khelvaster wrote:If there are exactly 3 people who aren't part of the fellowship, then I believe the 3 who aren't will need to claim their names. Not their roles, mind you, but their names.

Yeah, I think I did also. I thought on page one, he wanted to know the fellowship names and users. But he wants to know the 3 outsiders. oopsSpindax wrote:

CoolBot:You say on page 1 you are not in the Fellowship, and so does Matt_S. Did you learn anything you would call "Secret Info" in your PM that would make you opposed to the nameclaim? I just want to know if Matt_S is being truthful or not.
Also, could someone please tell me what a "Safe-Claim" is.-

Sorry folks, but I've been instructed to pull the plug on this game since it's clearly themed.
Please don't discuss your role assignments or the game as it'spossibleshaka!! will choose to strip the story and continue to run it as a normal. I'll let you know what he decides.Remember...It's not a lie if you believe it. -- G. Costanza-

Well it seems I misunderstood the difference between mafia flavor and themed flavor. I feel really embarrassed about this but I'd rather have the game continued.
All of you already know what your normal role is, I don't feel it is necessary to resend them, how ever if you are unsure what your real role is then you may send me a pm and I will explain.
In light of this, I will tell you that having a name assigned to your roledoes notindicate a power role, and there was most definitely roles outside thereal (lol) fellowship, which wasn't a sign of scum or pro town, either. How ever if you did have a name you will no longer. Yes, I am evil.
Remember roles will stay the same, just no flavor.
No need to reconfirm.
I'd suggest you all forgot the last page happened, for the sake of the games progress. Votes will not be reset!-

Unvote
Un-FoS everyone
I am so confused right now. Anyways, I had no name, so I figured all other vanilla townies had no name. Thus I expected a lot more resistance to a name claim. But we should probably forget about all this now. Sooo.....

It got unthemed and the mod admitted to being evil by not giving me a name. So we're back at square one.GSGold wrote:What is going on in this thread.Show"So I went to the librarian in the biology section and asked her if she could find me a map of the cat." -Richard Feynman

I am assuming a start over, but shaka!! is not going to restart the vote count. I am just pretending the first 30 or so posts never happened. It was all just arguements about a role claim anyway.GSGold wrote:Alright, well, we still have the events before the untheme to think about, if any of it can be salvaged. Most of it was arguments about roleclaiming, which the logic behind no longer works.
Do we go back to random voting, or...?
