Mini 930:Morning People Mafia (Game Over!)

[fallen angel]

Deer, how do you feel about the three votes on you?

[Deer]

Well I'm not worried about being lynched three pages in, and a couple of those votes were just RVS votes. Early bandwagons, I think, say a lot about players - I've never been a fan, but some people do play by just bandwagoning and pressuring certain players. So I don't feel bad about the votes, if people really do want to lynch me this early in the game that's just ridiculous.

[fallen angel]

Do you think any scum are on said wagon? And yes, it is quite ridiculous to want a player lynched so soon. Also, since I feel the gambit is worthwhile,

Vote Deer

. Now we wait.

[fallen angel]

Allow me to explain myself without breaking the gambit. To lynch a player so soon is madness. Thus, the closer Deer is to danger, the farther he is from harm.

/paraphrasing the Lord of the Rings

[Deer]

I think there's a good possbility there is one (or more) scum on the wagon, yes. And I'm confused, do you want me to roleclaim? what is this "gambit?"

[Deer]

oh sorry, made my post before I could see that last one.

[fallen angel]

No, I'm not pushing for a claim. Explaining the gambit effectively makes it fail. I'll explain once I see the results. Anyway, scum suspects (who are they)?

[sykedoc]

Deer is currently at L-2.
This is not a big game.

[Deer]

Well it's really hard to say at this point in time, people really haven't talked enough. Of the people on my wagon, smashbro comes off as the scummiest for using meta as an excuse to hop aboard the wagon.

[fallen angel]

Ah, don't worry. The problem with any gambit is that if it's explained, scum know what to do to look pro-town. If it isn't explained, it looks scummy as hell and fails. This is what I consider a happy medium. Hopefully.

[jbernier93]

Incidentally I HATE META AND THINK IT IS A WASTE OF TIME. SERIOUSLY JUST TAKE THE GAME AS IT IS.

Oh, but it isn't. Meta (at least with players that have played multiple roles) can show how people behave as town, as scum, and occasionally as third party players (serial killers and such). Meta is a useful tool and should be taken advantage of, seeing as we're at D1 and have nothing else to go on.

Yes, but it makes the game soooooooo much less fun.

Shouldn't you like, not talk about the gambit if you're trying to pull it off? cause now scum are on their toes.

Yes, but I need to for a few reasons. If I don't at least explain there *is* a gambit and I'm not pushing for a quicklynch, it fails. And if they are on their toes, good. They still don't know what to be worried about.

[jbernier93]

A) Because finding meta = hours of work. This is supposed to be a game. Work != fun.
B) You're an odd one.

[fallen angel]

A) I suppose, although scumhunting = work as well.
B) Oh, I'm just warming up

[Deer]

Meta helps but it's certainly not as good as scumhunting. jbernier, what are your thoughts on the game so far?

[jbernier93]

My thoughts are that we're on page three and not much has happened other than discussions on general aspects of mafia and fallen angel trying to pull off a mystery gambit. There's not much to think about all this yet.

[smashbro_of_the_SSS]

Vote: Deer

for me replacing him in a game and given 2 days to defend myself as the most obvious lynch candidate, then getting lynched.

Just btw, I can kinda be a morning person, can't sleep past 9 or so if im tired and go to bed late, usually up between 7 to 8 otherwise :p

May I inquire as to the game out of curiosity and meta?

Of course. The game isn't over yet, but as i said, we're both out of it. If you're looking for meta on me you might not get much from this, and even deer came halfway through when his slot was under suspicion.

Honestly, when I read through before I realized who I was replacing, I thought that my slot was the best lynch of the day lol.

Bit of a slow start.

In the interest of conversation...does anyone have any favorite questions they like to ask others to break the ice/scumhunt in the early stages of games? And if so...what are they and how would you answer them?

I'll go first.

Not really. n/a

I want to come up with some questions to ask from the start, but no, I don't have any. Kinda new to the online mafia so I'm getting used to it still. If I think of any, I'll post them.

[smashbro_of_the_SSS]

ok, sorry ,for some reason i thought it didnt post so i wrote it again, then saw teh 3 pages...i feel stupid

[fallen angel]

Have you read the past few pages? If so, any comments?

[smashbro_of_the_SSS]

so yeah, i need sleep. Moving on to an actual post:

In that case, we really shouldn't discuss it. Talking about ongoing games is a no-no.

This.
Tread carefully folks...

Sorry, I'm not saying anything other than what was already confirmed.

So smashbro_of_the_SSS...do you prefer to be referred to as:

a) smashbro_of_the_SSS
b) smashbro
c) sbotsss
d) ssss
e) other

and do you prefer playing as scum or town and why?

I usually go by smashbro or ssss. But I've gone by smash, smashy, or practically anything else related to that. I'm good with whatever you'd like.

I do, actually. What's everyone's favorite role? Playstyle? If so for either, then why? Any previous games? Links, please, if so? Hopefully this'll start some discussion.

I like any power role, because at times I find it a bit frustrating to not know anything. That being said I would love being cop, but so far have only been a mafia Roleblocker, and the other games are ongoing. Here is the finished game:

http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopi ... 10&start=0

Okay I'm here, a few words before I start - I only have my iPod as Internet until Friday so don't expect many posted quotes or huge textwalls until then - i'll try to refer to post numbers if I can. secondly, SSS, I'm really sorry about that game, but there were some pretty big RL things that came up, I do feel bad about it.

I was just joking, don't worry about it. it's all for the fun of the game, and i really liked trying to get out of the situation. I actually would want to replace in more to do that.

Well it's really hard to say at this point in time, people really haven't talked enough. Of the people on my wagon, smashbro comes off as the scummiest for using meta as an excuse to hop aboard the wagon.

Also, I went on only for the RVS idea. As for meta on you, I really could have no proof of how you will act this game, so I didn't do it for meta. and agreed, too soon to put anyone this close. I'm up for a bit more discussion.

unvote

[Sucrose]

Hmmm.

Well, at any rate, I'm glad we've moved out of the RVS. (Is it just me, or do RVSs seem to

always

end when someone puts one too many votes on a bandwagon?)

Anyway, I'm pretty damn busy between work and college, so forgive me if I'm not on for certain stretches, but I'll still try and be as active as I can.

[rzhang86]

hmmm, what to do what to do...
