Cultural Revolution is Over!

[Ameliaslay]

In the future, they'll carry some weight, but for now they're not too useful.

My sentiments exactly.

[Bacde]

So, what does everyone think about the Maoists?

[Y]

So, what does everyone think about the Maoists?

We cherish them with all our hearts and other vital organs we want to keep to ourselves.
What does that question supposed to mean?

I think we should start doing stuff that will get us closer to finding scum. The restrictions won't help until we have some deaths to guide ourselves by.
Figuring out how many mafiosos we have (7 or 8 would be my guess) could be a good start.

[feuerdrache]

I'm having a really emotional week, so I'm going to avoid posting for at least until Monday due to the high chance of erratic play. I apologize but I do think it's best for the town.

While I have some theories on possible scum groups, I'd prefer to know how many night kills we have before we try to figure out the type and size of scum groups. There is also the possibility of a Mao influenced cult (the term cult of personality comes up a lot in Wikipedia's articles about the Cultural Revolution). And our glorious moderators might have thrown in an SK just for fun.

Heck, I not yet sure if we are looking for specific historical figures as a source of scum, or if there are generic scum roles, or some combination of the two.

[Twomz]

We'll know once we start lynching them.

I'm sorry if my play is scummy, but FYI, it's always like this. In fact, i'm usually under a lot larger bandwagon than this... it must be my minty fresh breath. 8)

Oh and... "Die Capitalist Pigdogs, your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries."

[Yosarian2]

Yosarian2, why the vote on Pug89? We know there are more than two mafia in this game (it would be bizarre if there were only two), so I don't see what's wrong with Pug89 holding multiple suspicions.

On day 1, if you have any real reason at all to suspect someone, you should probably vote them, especally if they don't have any votes on them at all at the time; anything better then total randomness is good for day 1. When I see someone attack multiple people at once but not vote for anyone on day 1, it makes me wonder if he's a scum who's trying to make other people look more suspicious without committing himself to a bandwagon.

There is also the possibility of a Mao influenced cult (the term cult of personality comes up a lot in Wikipedia's articles about the Cultural Revolution).

What do you mean by that? I really think a Mao influenced cult would represent the mafia. That's the flavor of this game. What you're saying is pretty obvious...

[Thok]

Y, I'm going to assume you don't know what a cult is (in the mafia sense).

Mafia=evil group that kills townies
Cult=evil group that converts townies into cultists.

[SOS]

I agree to the general consensus that the posting restrictions don't mean anything.

Furthermore, Don't you think a random vote that stays on for 4 pages is a bit much?

Oh well, not my call I guess

[Vaughn]

So Thok is stating that we have possibly 3 groups here? It's probable, with a game this large.

As for the quotes, the only two that seem to have the same quote are Glork and Vismajor. I agree that as of right now, we can't pull anything significant from it, but we should keep tabs just in case we can draw connections from quotes to roles later on in the game.

I agree to the general consensus that the posting restrictions don't mean anything.

General consensus?

Tamuz, Glork, bacde, CES, and you are the ones who think the quotes are useless.

Tamuz: "Chairman Mao is the red sun in our hearts!"
Glork: "Follow Mao Zedong Thought!"
CES: "Long live Chairman Mao, the Great Helmsman!"

Look their quotes match!

Bacde and SoS have no quotes...

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

Look their quotes match!

Oh noes!

So Thok is stating that we have possibly 3 groups here? It's probable, with a game this large.

Huh? I'm pretty sure I've said no such thing; I've suggested that there could be 3 possible types of groups, but I don't claim to know anything about their exact makeup.

[Glork]

Tamuz,

Glork

, bacde, CES, and you are the ones who think the quotes are useless.

....huh? Whatever gave you that impression? I distinctly feel that the quotes are *NOT* useless, which is why

I don't want the town blindly guessing at what they (might) mean on DAY ONE

Not true, I too believe that the quotes cannot be accurately interpreted on day one.

[Tamuz]

Tamuz,

Glork

, bacde, CES, and you are the ones who think the quotes are useless.

We certainly can garner information from these quotations.

I'm sorry if my play is scummy, but FYI, it's always like this. In fact, i'm usually under a lot larger bandwagon than this... it must be my minty fresh breath.

:badposting:

[thedocsalive]

So the consensus is that either the post restrictions have no meaning altogether OR the post restrictions cannot be properly analyzed at the moment. So I think it's time we went back to where we were before this...

Which was the Twomz bandwagon for misspelling "manifesto" and trying to appear as if he had a posting restriction/post a quote to feel like a cool kid. That, and openly declaring that he was digging himself into a hole (see his "ladder" quote). At this point I think it's more silly than scummy, so I'm not going to vote for him.

[Y]

Y, I'm going to assume you don't know what a cult is (in the mafia sense).

Mafia=evil group that kills townies
Cult=evil group that converts townies into cultists.

So it works the other way around: The mafia gets itself bigger rather than getting the town smaller?

Now that the restriction idea was put aside (it doesn't matter why), where do we go from here?

As thedocsalive said, which is the same thing I said earlier, Twomz seems so scummy that it passed the line between scummy and stupid.

Is going "No lynch" a good possibility? That way we'll have the N1 results to work with. Killing scum today doesn't look as probable as we could wish...

[Bacde]

No, I don't think no lynch would be a good possibility. Killing scum is never as probable as killing town. If it is just as probable, or more probable, we'd have something to worry about.

Also, just fyi, has no one read my first post? I wonder why people keep claiming that I have no start quote. I definately posted something that could be considered a start quote.

[Shamrock]

It wasn't clear if that was a restriction or just you having fun with the flavor.

[Ameliaslay]

I'm sorry if my play is scummy, but FYI, it's always like this. In fact, i'm usually under a lot larger bandwagon than this... it must be my minty fresh breath.

Okay, you posted this in two consecutive games that I'm in with you, out of context... why are you aoplogizing when there hasn't been any suspicions directed at you????

[Ameliaslay]

^^^
Addendum, except for a silly one for your mispelling of Manifesto

[Y]

No, I don't think no lynch would be a good possibility. Killing scum is never as probable as killing town. If it is just as probable, or more probable, we'd have something to worry about.

Point taken. I just think the night could give us some info. Lynching someone could help too.

So Thok is stating that we have possibly 3 groups here? It's probable, with a game this large.

This is the only thing I can see as useful (Except of Twomz, but I said what I think about it already).
This sentence can be interpreted in three different ways:
1. Vaughn knows there are three "Scum groups".
2. Vaughn wants us to believe Thok knows there are three "Scum groups".
3. It has nothing into it and I'm getting really paranoid.
There are two options that show Vaughn as scum.

Although it is really vague, it could be a start (It's at least as good as the accusations on Twomz). It's better than roll a dice and lynch someone.

I'm sorry if it's lame, but that's all I can think of...

[Vaughn]

Actually, my thoughts are the same as yours Y, but I was thinking that Thok knows something that we don't.

I was hoping his reply would yield something, but it didn't.
