You can't just retire from the mafia! They'll kill ya! Haven't you ever seen the movies. Though I suppose if there is no one left to kill you, you're good lol.

I think if a mafia ends up down to 1-2 players and can't win anymore, their objective just turns to playing spoiler for whichever faction they choose (the other family or the town). I think the natural choice would be the other family - since their original objective was to wipe them out. They can't win, but they can make someone lose.

LOL abenson, your picture is friggin awesome.

It is based on both as far as I can tell. It goes by post count, but you have to be registered for a certain amount of time to get that icon as well.

We need corsairs and valkyries to combat the stacked flying monkey swarm! Maybe some irradiate too.

Editing is a clear sign of mafia. I think we should use a double lynch on redtooth to make sure we get the job done right.

Holy crap I've missed alot since yesterday. Unfortunately I won't have a chance to catch up until I get home tonight.

Well I just caught up reading, decided to do it now instead of when I get home.
DrH, now you know how I feel, this is exactly how BillMurray acted to me last game before he was killed. I'm not sure if he is mafia based on his "slip up" but I am sure that BM should stand for bad mannered.
As for the accusations against myself. The connection of the horsemen to my profile picture ... there really isn't a lot I can say in my defense besides it is a dinosaur in my profile picture. Sort of a lame defene, but I'm not sure what else to say. The moon blinding dreamflower. On this one It would seem the blinding would be a strong connection to the little poem in my profile referring to the Halls of the Blind in Diablo 1. But if you've played the game I think you'd agree with me that the HotB isn't named as such because it blinds you, but because the enemies are invisible.
As for the mayor vote, I'm going to vote for Citi.zen. I've only played one game and he did a nice job for the town. It isn't enough to blindly follow whatever he does, but enough to earn my day 1 vote being that I don't know most of the rest of the candidates.

It has been asked before Scamp, but I honestly can't remember what the message was. It was before the game started ... so the first few pages if you want to go looking for it.

Just curious as to why we have the 48 hour days? To be honest in that last game we had the activity to do 24 hours days. It's not just the activity, the town is totally screwed then since they don't have the time to figure out who the mafia is and then convince everyone to change their votes to that person. In your game a small group of people were extremely active but it took time for the rest of the group to weigh in their opinions and votes. 48 hours is often too short to accomplish that purpose but so far it has worked really well as longer the mafia get kinda screwed.

1. If a DT successfully ties a clue to a mafia member / RCs a mafia member, will that DT be told what family the mafia member belongs to? If the answer is yes, will millers appear to be from a random mafia family to DTs?
2. As far as I can see, it's a no-brainer for the mafia families (who don't have the mayor/pardoner among their ranks) to substitute their own members for bodyguards. Am I missing something?
3.

4. What happens in the hypothetical case that all 30 Town members are dead, and after they all die, both families are reduced to 1-2 members each? Does the Town still win?
5. Why does the Gambino Family have a much cooler name than the Sumiyoshi Family? 1. Yes, yes. 2. If it's such a 'no-brainer' the town will simply get the mayor to reveal the bgs then kill them. Mafia have to balance this possibility with the strength of infiltrating office. 3. The Mafia family can still kill off the town and then kill the other family. 4. No, and this needs to be amended to the rules if it is not clear. Town cannot win if it's members are all dead. iirc we had a possible clause saying that the town needed to have a certain number of people left relative to the mafia but I'm not quite sure if it was viable. If anyone has suggestions to make it so that comebacks are more than possible without having to rely too much on outside interference please give them. This game format was really hard to come up with since we had to design it in such a way that mafia can't team up 5. Give a better name then!
Found it on page 2 scamp. Yes the DTs will be told what family it is.

Oh I see. Yeah that does seem pretty strong link to the arson killing. I'm a little hesitant to do the first few lynches based off clues though, being as what happened last game when we tried to rely to heavily on them from the start.

There is absolutely zero reason to vote for Ver. We all know what happened last time he ran for office, I will summarize for those who are unfamiliar:
Ver: "waaa waaa I hate my life soooo many people PMing me waaa waaaa Ace Ace L Ace waa waaa please modkill me waaaa"
Point being, if you are town there is no reason to want Ver in office. If Ver is on the town side, he's only going to rage quit in two days. If Ver is mafia, you don't want a mafia in office. Don't elect someone who is going to cop out a third of the way through the game. At any rate, he has only half-heartedly made a campaign for office, I don't think he even wants to be elected anyways. Lots of people in the thread have been reinforcing their arguments with players' behavior in past games. Well, Ver's behavior in past games when he is elected is to rage quit. If you are one of these people that uses arguments like these, don't vote for Ver.
As I am sure someone else will do it, there seems to me to be a boatload of people who have yet to post or who have only made one or two posts (worthless posts might I add, for example OH HI IM HERE IMMA GO READ THE THREAD AND CATCH UP). As it has been correctly pointed out before, the mafia is going to be hiding among these inactive people. We have seen clearly in past games how the town goes ballistic killing itself while the mafia sits back and laughs. Lets make sure we keep track of all these people not contributing.
Okay, anyone who thinks we should kill Bill Murray is a complete idiot. Yes, that means you redtooth and DoctorHelvetica. And also laaan although you haven't explicitly said anything. Even BM pointed out that if he was mafia, he'd have other mafia members telling him what to post and how to do it. He is obviously way too incompetent where that would be the case this game. Furthermore, there are a bunch of inactive people, if he was mafia, I'm sure he'd be sitting right in that pool.
Remember guys, this is online mafia on teamliquid. This means that the teams are stacked for balancing issues (in other words, mafia members are not chosen at random). In a previous game where all of the veteran players where on the townside, the mafia got raped hard. With the addition of two mafia families, we can be reasonably sure that at least one, probably a few, of the veterans is mafia. While L's posts are almost all worth ignoring, he wants to kill Ace, who is a veteran, and thus we have to slog through his nonsensical posting. But killing off Ace is definitely something the town should highly consider. Perhaps you think Ace is too godly to kill off yet. If so, Ver has good analysis of BC, of which should be considered.
Remember guys, a veteran on the mafia side is a huge threat. They have the power to organize the mafia to victory. A mafia without a veteran is relatively helpless. On the contrast, the town can make do without a veteran. In fact, lots of times veterans hurt the town more than they help (I could site numerous examples, but I'm sure you all know). It's really easy for a novice player to step up as a green/blue and lead the town to victory. Heck I have nearly pulled this feat off in my first two games when I correctly found over 50% of the mafia. And I definitely pulled it off without any so called "veterans". It's clear that killing veterans is the right course of action as we could potentially deal a substantial blow to the mafia. Considering Bill Murrays hotheaded attitude and erratic behavior in the previous game, I wouldn't be surprised if he posted without mafia direction. Besides, "oh i wouldnt do this if i was mafia dohohoho so i must be a townie" arguments are pretty weak. Bill Murray isn't my #1 suspect anyway. I'm confident that if Bill is mafia, he'll fuck up so massively in the next few days that we'll be conclusively sure of it.
Word. If he is mafia he'll either stop posting (which he says he will) or slip up again when he does. I think we should concentrate elsewhere for the time being. There seems to be 2 schools of thought: go for inactive or go for veterans, with many sub arguments in those 2 categories.

Lynching Empyrean gives us no information. Although the clue connection is solid, Ace has a strong clue AND behavioral connection imo and we learn a lot depending on how he flips. It has nothing to do with if he's a veteran or not.
Yeah I was going to mention the ace thing, but decided against it since it has been discussed quite a bit already.

Well, I was bringing it up again since things may have changed since people made their "im running for the election" positions. It is possible with the flurry of posting going on since the start that at least 1 of them could have changed their opinions.
I don't know who I would lynch if I was getting elected, but I'm not really against the notion of lynching ace.

FYI, I'm one of those people who have voted for citi.zen, but I'm not blindly trusting him. I voted for him because I am unfamiliar with most of the other candidates. If citi.zen remains silent I plan on switching my vote to someone else before the voting closes. I'm just going to take my time doing it because I don't want to be switching my vote over and over like I did the first game I played for the elections.

It would make sense to think in the shoes of the other factions if you plan to beat them. If you're with the town - you try to think of how the 2 mafia families are thinking and what they are trying to accomplish. If your from family A, you do the same for both the down and family B. And of course the same goes for family B with the town and family A. With a three opposing faction it doesn't make sense not to try to think like another faction and how to use them against the remaining faction.
As for Zato ... that's neither here nor there. I have no clue if he's mafia or not lol.

As for the clue analysis ...
The whole horsemen thing ... I can't really refute this by anything else then saying it is a dinosaur, not a horse.
The moon/sun thing ... There are people who have a profile picture that actually have moons in them rather than a sun, I'm too lazy to look them all up, but Ace and Mystlord come to mind off the top of my head.
The aiming thing ... yeah there really is nothing to say there.
The light appearing in the shadows thing ... well you say it yourself, "She proceeds to journey through the shadows provided by the trees. But, as fate would have it, light appears upon her." The poem clearly states it the other way around "Shadows move where light should be."
I dunno ... I think the clue connections to Ace and EMP are stronger than myself ... but of course I'd be biased. Tell me what you plan to learn about me being lynched.
|
Citi.zen, the think is though that mystlord could fit the moon clue and EMP could fit the radiant creature clue. That is the danger of trying to fit clues to someone. Clues fit a lot better when you're trying to fit them to a specific person. Sure there is a chance that one or both of these fit Ace, there is the possibility that none of them fit him though. We should be careful about lynching based on clues so early.
|
Yeah, the connections are there ... the connections are there on me too. Several people have brought up the possibilty of some of the clues fitting me as well. But really my point is ... at this early point in the game we should be noting these connections in the clues and see if any come up later clue drops to solidify them. The day 1 lynch is usually a crap shoot ... analyzing day 1 clues is more of a crap shoot. I'm not sure we should stack crap shoots.

I'll be honest with you .. I really don't know. The whole thing with 2 mafia families is sort of throwing me off. I'm sure at least someone in the whole L, DrH, Ace, redtooth, and laaan thing that's going on is mafia. The only problem is I don't know who.

Well the only other person I can currently see fitting this clue is Zona based on his profile picture - it has sort of a blue radiant vibe to it. Problem with zona is he is probably going to be mod killed anyway for not voting.
The other killers have a couple people that could possibly fit into the clues ... the last one, not so much at least in my opinion. It is of course possible I'm missing something in someone's profile.

I think you have a good point with BC, that's another potential fit for the last killer. I've looked into the laughter and the noises and got nothing. The hyena like laughter came up at one point during the last mafia game we played - but it didn't seem to fit anyone in that game.
The people who were mafia in that game and are in this game are: DrH Mystlord Phrujbaz
It still doesn't seem to fit any of the 3. Though I'll be honest I haven't for the life of me been able to find out what Phrujbaz means.

Well, one possible answer for that is how inactive he's been. Why would you stick your neck out and risk yourself for someone who's not been participating? But there is the possibility that he's been active behind the scenes via PM or IRC or something.

From Mystlords profile: The girl appears to be laughing from atop a roof, which is the location of the killer in the scenario. Interestingly enough, the town is burning around her which is fitting since arson was used by other killers to get the job done. She doesn't necessarily appear to be the cause of the fire, but rather is amongst it
You know DrH, I think that's a really good point. I had always looked at the fire in the picture as a potential connection to the arson. I never thought about it in terms of one of the killers after the fire had started. She also appears to have sort of a crazy look in addition to her laughing which could fit the psychotic noises. So it sort of has a mesh between the noises and the laughter.
I don't think it is enough to lynch on quite yet, but it is a nice one to file away. This is sort of why I made my post ... I thought something might be there in one of the profiles but didn't see anything myself. So I brought it up to see if anyone else did and it may have paid off.

I think we can all agree that redtooth's push for pardoner is a bit suspicious. I personally don't buy his infallible logic about him being clearly town aligned. He also clearly believes that the pardoner is the more powerful position for mafia ... and the reason he wants it is to that the mafia can't have it. It works both ways ... he would desire it if he was mafia as well. It would also make sense with how he's been supporting L so much in the election ... it would appear he's trying to get someone elected ahead of him.

Don't worry red ... you're getting a huge swing vote for SOME reason. You may even become mayor at this rate...

Well that ending was very unexpected to say the least.
|
Yeah there is really no concrete way to prove he's a medic. I doubt he is a medic ... it smells just like his early arguments for ace to appear town aligned. Oops I have to be a medic because I didn't even mean to post that lololol.

Mayor is not more important that NO position, which is where redtooth was headed until the sudden influx of votes.

We have to be careful about how we go about this though. If it does turn out that quite a few of the swing votes end up being affiliated with one mafia family ... cleaning house could shift power way towards the other family. Not that we can really stop it ... the other family could just do the work themselves i suppose.

So basically you're trying to ensure that both officials aren't in the same mafia family. Which is exactly what I did when I voted for t_co last game and you called me an idiot MANY times for. Come up with a new reason.
He's obviously not a medic ... if an "accidental" roleclaim isn't suspicious to you ... ugh.

Actually .. go read it again that was t_co's logic. My logic was that there was no way possible t_co and doctorH were both mafia. Remind me how that turned out again.

I was fairly certain meeple wasn't mafia, which is why i voted for him in that game. Maybe you should have voted for meeple with me.
Well the reason was PMs really. I was in PM contact with t_co ... and was fairly certain that we was green. But I think we should stop cluttering the thread with discussions from last game.
My bad for bringing it up everyone.

In all fairness ... I have possible profile/clue matches as well.

Woah editing isn't allowed man.

Malongo, your plan hinges on everyone going along with it and honestly participating. I mean say redtooth goes along with it ... why would a mafia family sacrifice a hit that may be blocked. Or say in the case that redtooth actually is a medic (yeah no, but let's just say) and BOTH mafia families hit you. It makes redtooth look like a lier. In a perfect world it is a good idea ... but it won't work in a practical application.
|
Yeah, it wouldn't work. There is nothing we would learn from it no matter what happened. If the person dies - either redtooth lied and didn't protect or he actually did and there was a double hit. If the person lives it could have either been redtooth preventing a hit or the mafia just not cooperating.

Worst case scenario: mafia doesnt hit me and redtooth loses a protection that cant be directed to a town townie anyways. We have absolutely nothing to lose.
I still don't see why the mafia would be licking their chops to cooperate. If they wanted to get rid of him they could act like townies and get him lynched. Why would they take a path that potentially wastes a hit and could potentially help the town greatly by giving them a trusted person to organize behind. Sure they know who a medic is if they want to target him - but I would think at least one of the BGs is still town aligned and he'd be protected.
If they want to take him out there are other lower risk ways to do it and they wouldn't want to clear him.

You bypassed my main point. Why would one of the mafia families risk a hit or helping the town when they could attempt a lynch play to take down redtooth.

Redtooth flipping red/blue will give both the town AND the mafia some information - information they wouldn't be able to get by slogging through another 48 hours of day posts attempting to convince people otherwise.
I know the point of the plan isn't to lynch redtooth. My point is why would the mafia agree to this plan when they could attempt a lynch play. Basically .. the mafia has no reason to go along with it.

I never said don't do it. I'm just warning you that no matter what happens you'll have difficulties interpreting what it actually means. For every result there is at least 1 alternate scenario that clouds what the results actually mean. Sure the town has nothing to lose ... but in the end you'll end up with a result that you're not sure what it even means.

Well here's what I think from the kills in terms of possible clues:
Killer#1 noticed and followed the tracks Ace couldn't hide in the darkness killed by a gasoline/match ... fire again he wants to kill during the day as well as the night
killer#2 Sounds like he got killed by like shrapnel shot from a cannon or smthn ... dunno about this one yet
killer#3 sounds like the killer was on a roof shadow blocked out the light (with the stone sphinx) the stone sphinx itself
but he was actually killed by a pike with “We invite you to make a holy pilgrimage to the town square today to offer a human sacrifice to the gods. That is all.” written on it
killer#4 dry air and white particles ... sounds like he was poisoned via some powder
killer#5 cursing and shouting grafiti and the murder weapon was a pan
And yet again ... some of the clues fit me -_- I feel like Hobbes from last game.

Does it seem to anyone else that zato was possibly killed by a bomb? I mean he opened the door ... array of sharp objects ... hole in the wall. I know it mentioned the mafia member; he knocked on the door but was nowhere to be seen when zato died. Either it could be a bomb related clue or BC planted a bomb on zato and the mafia left when he saw it.
Oh well ... just throwing something out there.

Well I am going to bring up a suspect for consideration: Zona
Clues: With BC and EMP dead he is currently the best fit for the last angel/blue radiant killer from night 1. If you look at his profile picture it has sort of a blue radiant feel to it. Am I saying that he definitely fits the clues to this killer? No, but currently I consider him the best fit.
Behavior: He has barely posted at all. Two things about this: last game when he was a townie ... he was pretty active and helpful. Now I realize this is a completely different format from last game, there are 2 mafia families more people that are alot more active than the last. Plus he might be busy doing other things ... but wait. He has 326 posts in the last week in general here at TL. He definitely has the time to post. When you combine the two it makes it looks like he is trying to lay low for one reason or another.
Also for voting in the election ... he basically popped in like an hour before the election ended and abstained. Then he made a post or 2 in the main thread and disappeared again. I think his behavior has been suspicious enough to be someone to look at.
Also I threw this possibility out before. Is it possible that zato was killed by a bomb? This possibility wouldn't exclude BC getting double hit and ver (if he's telling the truth) absorbing a hit from last night. The hits would still add up to 6. He was killed when he opened his door ... by a bunch of metal sharp objects. Now I don't know how much you guys know about homemade bombs ... but if you want to increase their killing power you pack them with small metal objects to act as shrapnel. This could also explain the hole in the wall. There was a mafia member talked about in the paragraph ... but nothing of really important detail. He knocked on the door but was nowhere to be seen when zato opened it and was killed. I think its either possible that the mafia member used a bomb to kill him (for a clue) or it was a bomb of BC (from madhatter ability).

Announcement: Don't be surprised if my activity drops significantly... I made it into SC2 beta. WOOHOOOOO! Download faster damnit!

my 1 allowable "now i'm dead post"
lol @ being a miller combined with loose clue associations. I somehow had a feeling I'd end up being a miller. Sorry I stopped posting completely ... but you know ... I got into beta!
Well GL, HF everybody ... I hope beta doesn't kill this game entirely. It was a really good concept and fun game.
