Mini #73: Prosaic Mafia (The End)

[Phoebus]

and massive was only carrying on a tradition.

Right......

Do you know something about massive we don't?
If you're a cop and investigated him Night 1, well, you wouldn't be starting a bandwagon for the same person he voted for but voting for him I should think.

If you're a mason with him...the comment, which I read as being slightly sarcastic, against him carrying on a tradition, does not hold.

The only other reason you would know something about him and leading up to that comment is if you are Mafia buddies and you being slightly silly with that comment...silly as in impulsive and/or noobish when Primoris noted that massive was indeed carrying along only a tradition.

-Phoebus.

[Flying Dutchman]

I was kinda confused, as I didn't know what the hell he was talking about with his "Tradition".

[Phoebus]

OK
That's acceptable for the moment I guess.
I assume you've been reading some games before this one and thus are familiar with the term "bandwagon".
I learned the hard way in my first game that in a mini the third vote is suppsosed to be the beginning of one and will raise eyebrows...

-Phoebus

[Flying Dutchman]

Ok, i'll remember that........

I just wanted to get things going...........

[Demeech]

[/b]vote: Demeech

, because it's a funny name, and i don't want to give too much power to the immediate bandwagon against one of the few people that's spoken.

What?

You're calling

my

name funny? I find the name gashlycrumb weird (to say the least). How is my name funny? If you really want to know, Demeech is a nickname from my real name, Dmitry. Your turn.

Vote: gashlycrumb

for insulting my name.

my turn? ok. 'gashlycrumb' is from a book by edward gorey. i thought your name was funny in an amusing way, not funny in a bad way. i picked you at random, and i was pleased with my choice, because your name pleased me, and it's just a friendly day-one vote, my way of saying hello.

[massive]

Well, in the interest of actually sparking some real direction, I'm going to

unvote Primoris

vote Phoebus

His immediate "jump off the bandwagon" vote almost seemed like he was trying TOO hard to be dis-associated with whatever bandwagon happened to form. It could even have been that Phoebus voted for his scummy buddy Primoris to start with, and then had to leap off the bandwagon before lynching one of his team members.

[Phoebus]

massive

,
An impetuous bandwagon on Day 1 without any real sort of discussion is just fodder for the Mafia to end Day 1 cheaply. He was only 3 votes away from a lynch. Isn't 3 members a regular mini mafia complement?
It hurt the town big time in another game and I just don't want a repeat scenario for us here.

Do you want me to revote just to prove I'm not scum along with him?

Random.org giving rise to that chain of votes to a player in his first game just seemed rather unfair so I unvoted.

[bigbenwd]

could we get a vote count for those of us (AKA me) who dont know whats happening lol

[Norinel]

Here you go:

Vote Count:

bigbenwd- 2 (Stewie, Darkblade)
Primoris- 1 (Flying Dutchman)
Flying Dutchman- 1 (Primoris)
Demeech- 1 (gashlycrumb)
Darkblade- 1 (Breakdown)
massive- 1 (tehgood)
Stewie- 1 (bigbenwd)
gashlycrumb- 1 (Demeech)
Phoebus- 1 (massive)

Not voting (1): Phoebus

6 to lynch.

[bigbenwd]

D'oh! i have 2 lol

[bigbenwd]

unvote: stewie

Vote: pheobus

[Flying Dutchman]

unvote: stewie

Vote: pheobus

Seems to be not the one with the most votes.........

Well, I can do something about that

Unvote: Primoris
Vote: Bigbenwd

[Norinel]

A small reminder: (Emphasis mine)

Notify me (

Don't just post in the vacation thread

, post here or pm me) if you're going to be unavailable for more than 48 hours.

Darkblade and bigbenwd have posted there saying they won't be posting a lot this weekend.

[Stewie]

ok.

unvote bigbenwd, vote; phoebus

simply because we have too many new players, and I think massive's suspicion is quite interesting.

[Phoebus]

unvote: stewie

Vote: pheobus

Can I request a reason for the vote? Or is this a new bandwagon forming?
I don't even know whether the vote will be counted since the unvote was unbolded.

ok.

unvote bigbenwd, vote; phoebus

simply because we have too many new players, and I think massive's suspicion is quite interesting.

Well, as I said before...
What do you want me to do that I'm one of the regular and somewhat useful town roles? Will re voting help?
You don't want me lynched on day 1 and it won't help if I role claim this early in the game as well....

[Primoris]

I don't really know who to vote for, I could vote for Phoebus, but I haven't seen any real arguements against him. (Nor any good arguements to keep him alive though)

I will keep my vote for now.

[Primoris]

Sorry for the two posts, just realised I'm not allowed to edit posts in Mafia games.

Of course I have seen real arguments, but they weren't good enough to convince me to change my vote. Phoebus requires another 3 votes, but I don't regard him more scummy than others yet.

[massive]

Man, Primoris, you and Phoebus are all about defending each other, aren't you?

No Mafia would put votes four, five, and six on a player to lynch them. Not quickly, anyways, or without discussion. It would be too blatant a move for them. The last thing Mafia want to do is be seen as acting as a group. I would think Phoebus would know that. If it happened in a game that he played in recently, I would hope that the town would see how blatant a move that really is, and mop up in short order.

[bigbenwd]

reason for my vote: i agree with massive's suspicion, p.s. thanks for realizing i wasnt really active this weekend

[Phoebus]

No Mafia would put votes four, five, and six on a player to lynch them. Not quickly, anyways, or without discussion.

No the mafia wouldn't but the Sk might...calling it a newbie mistake or forgetting to count the votes for a lycnh....
We have plenty of first timers here. The SK and a mafioso were among the deciding voters in the other game. So, even though a new player who's mafia and makes the mistake of being obvious with lynching vote could still lose us a possibly decent role without discussion.

It would be too blatant a move for them. The last thing Mafia want to do is be seen as acting as a group. I would think Phoebus would know that.

I do know that.
I

am not

part of any group with Primoris.

Does

Vote:Primoris

help? We can lynch him if you like but if and when he turns out to be pro town, well...cheap kill for the Mafia I guess.

As far as I'm concerned, I stick to the fact that I'm a townie. Maybe a slightly diferent one but a townie nonetheless.

-Phoebus.

[bigbenwd]

Unvote

vote:massive

it seeems to me you're trying awfly hard to get primoris and pheobus, i have a suspicion that you're just a wolf in sheep's clothing

[tehgood]

Well... blah.

Unvote Massive

- it was random.

I didn't see any

real

arguments against either Phoebus OR Primoris, but Phoebus got pretty.. defensive.

FOS Phoebus

.

Bigbenwd is just seeming very lynch happy, and using CrapLogic galore -

OMGUS Vote bigbenwd

tehgood

[massive]

Maybe so, bigbenwd ... maybe so. That's probably because I try hard to get Mafia scum in EVERY game I play. If you don't think that Phoebus's defensiveness (and then RE-voting of Primoris) is suspicious, there's nothing I can do to help you.

[Stewie]

I personally want phoebus to claim, since he's the only thing we have to go on to.
