Mafia 48: Himalayan Mafia - Game over!

[tidus_of_zanarkand]

Weak vote: TheCessPit

for not really saying anything.

Welcome to WIFOM land where the finger pointing and mass speculation only succeeds in making random guesses until the scum out themselves.

I would also like to say that Friztler seems like the good recruit choice since his playstyle is generally confusing and there is nothing like having a townsperson that is acting scummy but generally accepted by virtually the mafiascum.net entire community.

[JamesSparrow]

no they recruit once

do they just recruit one person?

[Fritzler]

no they recruit once

do they just recruit one person?

SIR YES SIR

i read
yay

[JamesSparrow]

i read over what was there twice and didn't see anything about it... my bad

[Yosarian2]

From the mod rules:

You are in the

Mafia

, intially composed of X, Y, and Z. You may communicate with them each night to determine someone to kill. (I will take the first choice sent to me by any mafia.) You must kill each night. You win when the town no longer has a majority.

No need to confirm, by reading your PM I know you're around and ready. However, note that your Night 0 choice is for a townie to

recruit

, not to kill.

Night 0 (last night), the mafia was allowed to recruit one person instead of killing. From now on, they will kill each night instead.

Pardon?

tidus sez:

"Weak vote: TheCessPit for not really saying anything."

Which is fair enough as a weka vote, but in my limited experience your damned if say something, damned if you don't, so opted for just syaing, I am here and reading and making impressions.

Which is currently, some people can't read the rules for what they've signed up to.

I think even trying to figure out who the mafia would recruit is a waste of time. There are just too many variables involved in this and too many guesses to get there.

Its more valuable to dissect posts at this point, although it will be more valuable once we see more posting.

Perhaps - but it's a fabulous way to jump in and discuss the game, right as the game starts, instead of 46 rounds of random votes. Of course, there will be participants like Cesspit who fear sticking their toe in the water... mmmm.

And I think it is useful; for instance, RandomActs pointed out that JamesSparrow joined the game soon after opening, which pretty much clears him from being the recruit.

Forgot to clear cookies before logging in. The post above is not from bertrand, but from me.

[neongrey]

Aright, let's

unvote

that off...

I'm kind of leery of getting into speculation as to who would be recruited, because of the aforestated WIFOM that starts up. The one that's going through my head is 'well, if everyone's going to think fritzler's the obvious choice, maybe that's too obvious', and so on and oops immunity to iocane powder etc etc etc.

[HezLucky]

Whoa...

LoudmouthLee and Mr. Flay are both WAY better than me... they are ownage, in fact.

And there are a couple of others there that are good too but I won't list their names simply because I don't want to give mafia a kill-list. (though if they recruited anyone experienced they could have that kill-list at no charge...)

I'm not going to vote DG, because I probably would've started the day off with similar speculation.

Vote: LoudmouthLee

... using essentially the same logic as DG, but picking a far better player.

[HezLucky]

For the record, I don't think discussing the mafia's "recruit choice" is a good idea after Day One..

...but it's Day One now, so...

As long as Fritz is town, i belive this list to be true (i've seen it work before). I imagine he will be NKed or lynched before the endgame... so i'm not going to worry about it right now. Also, i agree that the "obvious" slip up was intended to throw the town off.

Vote: DrippingGoofball.

[LoudmouthLee]

Holy opening bandwagon Batman! That was really quick, and somewhat frightning. However, since I just opened this game for the first time, I think it's time for an opening posts PbPa on Dripping Goofball.

Who needs to random vote in this game?

Duh!

FOS: neongrey and RandomActs

for not paying attention, haha.

We already have something to work with... who did the Asian Mafia recruit? I'd say Fritzler because 100% for sure he'd "accept the offer" but I think HezLucky might be the evil ones best asset (not offense to all the other players that weren't chosen).

vote: HezLucky

, top target for mafia recruitment.

Note: Hez, I love you, please don't be mad at me.

Hez is about at the midway point of mafia players in this game. It seems odd that you would pick HIM to be "most likely" recruitment. Fritzler would be a good choice, but not for his mafia ability, but more of his randomness. I've come to embrace it. Also, the rules state the the person who is recruited is choiceless about the recruitment. This post seems incredibly "out of place". It isn't downright scummy, but it rates on the scum scale.

Plus, you know I love you hez, but there are at least three players up there I'd recruit before you.

Including yourself, Fritz?

Warning: NOT a trick question.

Why does it matter if Fritz would be recruited? This post seems to create the idea that Fritz was NOT MAFIA earlier. Do you have that knowledge, DG?

I've only played with half of the players on the list, and Hezlucky appeared to be the most cunning to me. And if I've picked from the top 4, my record is not bad at all, and I pat myself on the back.

I really need a huggle. How's going to give me a huggle? It's cold here in the mountain.

(Huggle: DG),

but why would then assume someone is the best of the best if you haven't played with the majority of players. DG, you're randomness seems odder, even moreso here.

HezLucky made me cry while climbing the northern approach of the Best of the Internet peak. I tend to agree with those that say I fell victim to high-altitude madness.

Thank you all for your votes, really, I am honored. During my reign as Miss Himalaya, I promise to... argh, I think I need some oxygen.

And bringing up a past game makes them amazing? I've had a few moments in the sun, but that does not make me a great player at all.

WHAT? Would you ever think, for a minute, that the mafia may recruit someone who is a new iplayer BECAUSE the town will be more likely to kill off the "higher profile" players? Both Sparrow and the gentleman that he replaced were BOTH new, therefore. IMHO, being BETTER choices for the scum to recruit.

I, at this point wouldn't hesitate to vote you. However, the relative speed of the bandwagon is a cause for concern. Your actions do indeed deserve a vote, so I'm going to give it to you, but town, be aware, I may very well unvote if this bandwagon grows too fast. I learned from my last error in the 5 year invitational.

Vote: DG

Heh. But the difference you're forgetting is that this time I agree with you.

LYNCH LYNCH LYNCH

[Fritzler]

I'm glad to know soooo many people think im a good recruition choice, im a little disappointed i wasn't recruited though

[Fritzler]

I love norinel vote counts, with the prominent number three.
Could we have a few of those?

I agree with you that the comment dosn't make much sense, but why are you attacking DG for agreeing with this comment, but not Random Acts for saying it in the first place?

[LoudmouthLee]

I'm missing your comment. Maybe I missed something. Can you please point to the post, Yos?

[neongrey]

I -think- he's referring to post 24.

[LoudmouthLee]

Oh! Thanks Neon. In my quick scan and observation of the bandwagon, I must have missed it.

Yos makes a good point. The post by Random Acts:

unvote

I think Fritz is the most likely recruitee. I'm guessing JamesSparrow the least likely, simply because he joined the game so soon before the opening.

Deserves the same castration as DG's...

However, the evidence against DG is much greater. I will, instead,

FoS: Acts

and keep my vote on DG.

[JamesSparrow]

After reading what loudmouthlee posted regarding DG's behavior, i took a look through the first page again at the posts and surrounding posts that were analyzed. After reading them again, I began to see the possibility of summiness that was being mentioned (esp the post assuming fritz isn't mafia). I am going to, for now,

vote DrippingGoofball

. I also will be unvoting if this starts to excalate really quickly.

[RandomActs]

My inclination to clear Sparrow is not a matter of him being new, but a matter of timing. There was practically no time at all between his confirmation and the game start. So it seems likely the scum had some forethought about who to recruit, perhaps even

decided

on a recruit, even before Sparrow was known to be in the game. And I doubt very much they'd recruit an unnamed player. I don't believe scum took the time to consult about him if he were their choice. Hence, I think he's the least likely to be recruited.
