Hm i dont know its hard to put your finger on anything this early, especially with only a handful of people posting. Also Im no writer but to me the "poetry" sections include rhyme in a very haphazard manner. I mean isn't there meant to be some sort of consistent structure to it ?

Well, I mean there are lines that rhyme and then there are lines that do not. I'll look at the structure in a bit.

I am going to take a nap and see if more people are active in the evening.
Maybe the mafia won't have to do anything if the majority of our game is inactive (including DTs) so we're forced to do stupid random lynchings -_-

don't worry, you probably just have to wait until more people realize the game has started. It's a lot of people's first time playing so they won't be jumping in so fast.
ETA: Also when people start dying, activity usually spikes ^_^

it would be fun if a cross-thread mafia could be run in the future, where we could cross-pollinate people from different towns every now and then

GO BACK TO YOUR OWN MAFIA TOWN!!! THIS IS OURS!!!
But yea... not so active even now.... sighs... Guess we'll wait a day or two...

Im starting to warm to the idea someone mentioned earlier about lynching those that post least, not because i think it relates to them being mafia or would be productive in any way just out of sheer annoyance.

O_o we haven't started yet right?

Uhh... yes we did??? And like no one is around to discuss and talk about the game in contrast to the other mafia game where it's way more active.... =/

I like this, and not just because I don't have anything in my profile ;p but that said, I think the clues are the most important for the detectives to make choices about who to role check, obviously its going to be hard to be sure about what the clues are, and what they mean, so they aren't really grounds for lynching someone. What people actually post is far more important

Hmm... well welcome!!! Glad to have at least one more active member of our little town.... it seems the mafias have put some poison gas or some sort of gas which is why everyone is silent or sleeping right now.... o.O

Hmm... that's true. I might as well make a comment about this. Since the first vote for mayor is MANDATORY, I would prefer if the mayor chooses someone who is inactive or someone who we definitely know is mafia at this moment. However, the problem is, we don't know who the mafia is, the clues are a bit vague, and the inactive people will get mod-kill anyway if they don't show up. So basically, not only do we have to think carefully who to send up to the hanging rope first, but also what sort of decision and thoughts the mayor will make to come to this manner. Afterall, he is our leader. After that, since we won't have much definite clues, I should suggest to wait like 2 days... though 6 deaths is a bit much to spend in order to get closer... but for the good cause?

Well QuickStriker, I will support you in this. I don't think you're the Mafia.

My first thought when dissecting the post was this rather obvious quote: With a quick attack, the Sheriff Ace collapsed to the ground. A quick attack? Well with a player named QuickStriker in the game this looks like a kind of obvious clue. Also he was the first to respond to the first Sheriff Candidacy anouncement of Fulgrim, drawing attention to himself being "amused" by Fulgrim's "I'm not a mafia" comment. This intruiged me. I think that analysis overall was extremely good, from reading up on some earlier Mafia games it seems that the host often likes the come up with elaborate or entertaining deaths. This in itself makes the " With a quick attack " stand out far more in my eyes, and somewhat exonerates the other as possibly just being a whimsical choice by the host. In all honesty this by itself is enough to make me fairly suspicious and Quickstriker I am still more suspicious when I see some of what you have typed. In particular your reaction to no_re's non-serious accusation where you are essentially saying we must "hold off any action untill the DT comes forward and leads us through the valley of death and into the promised land" - I paraphrased, This however, as far as I can tell is an exceptionally bad strategy, the point of electing a mayor or sherrif is someone who seems active, discerning and importantly decisive, and your suggestion of sit and wait reeks to me on manipulation at an early stage. p.s. am i doin it rite?
[/QUOTE]
I think Xelin is the Mafia. He's already accusing you of being mafia even though the game hasn't started. Not only that, he's trying to submit himself as the Mayor, trying to find his way around from being lynched off. He knows that if he is able to be the mayor, then we're screwed.
|
Well the game has started, but the lynching has. I say we take Xelin out first.

hasn't* jesus, this editing rule is killing me.

Well, those posts were some pages ago and accusations are normal at this point of the stage like these. The clues are a bit vague, the people are half or semi-half filled, and the town itself is shown as a laid back lazy town without a proper order. That is the vision I have from this countryside small populated of 34 people town. Of course, the town across from the street is heavily industrialized, the people are well educated, and the newly formed factions are performing their cases to become the mayor of that town (aka the other mafia game). And yet, here we are.... wondering what we have done to ourselves the past 24 hours....
But all in seriously, it's possible he can be a mafia but he accused me after the game started actually. Since the first bells of day started on page 4, perhaps taking a look there first is ideal. I do not know who is mafia nor anyone else does except for the mafias themselves of course. But what I do know is this, I am certain at least one of the 7 mafia will pave way to try to be a MAFIA MAYOR. And that my friends, we must prevent and stop from happening!
