Right now I think we are all so distracted by shiny objects that we can't really nicely match scum buddies.
And Kohbee, I got my opinion on you in the thread long before you started smashing on me, just because someone is a jerk doesn't make them mafia. But being a giant distraction helps mafia.
You have essentially been a giant distration for the majority of the game, making it impossible to get true reads on anyone. I know. I am reiterating this, and you have tampered down some since you were asked, but please remember that when you go after someone in a rude way they will have a visceral reaction that makes it hard for people to read properly. If you need to go after people, please just use me as a punching bag. Treat the others civilly and respect as you have been doing since I called you out for it and it will be much easier to get true reads on people.

Sorry marv for posting late, had some flight problems (windshield crack, yay) so I didn't have time to type up anything, which takes forever on my phone anyway.
I am keeping my vote as it stands.
|
I will up in the air in about an hour, and I do not know if I will have wifi. (Switched to flight southwest 135 after the windshield issue, connecting with flight 343 to vegas for those that demand a crazy alibi, I am a semi public figure so my flight arrivals and stuff isn't exactly secret)
I will check in when I land both times and will try to be active during the layover and before the first take off. I only post this because I have been accused of dodging questions while working.

I am not really comfortable making any reads until the night is over at this point.
We have no idea how anyone will interact without having the distractions in the game, and the way people react when forced to talk without them will be interesting.
I am not so sure that we can jump to the "lynch a lurker" as a mafia tactic, as the people that started it are now confirmed town, and on top of that, this is a newbie game making it so they could just have been like, okay that makes sense.
I am sad that Kohbee actually was the cop, especially since he played so belligerently that he couldn't get anyone to trust or believe him, including myself. But again, this is a newbie game so everyone is still learning how to act.

Thank you KB for such an amazing will.
The only problem I have with voting for Solohan now is that we know that he was jailed last night. This means that if he is mafia, that means that he is not a killer, and not the biggest threat out there.
Which means it is one of the rest of us.
Marvel, S&B, myself and HiroPro are the ones to be looking at today.
The safe vote is for Solohan, but if we want to get the killer, he is not the man.

##side note, heading into the strip in a few minutes, will be able to post short notes and read while at IPL parties, but please don't expect anything long because my phone has a sucky keyboard and it pisses me off.
|
Marv, ty for clarification on if the roleblocker could kill. I had only really played RL mafia with cards, so no roleblockers involved. If that is the case then
##vote: solohan50
For some reason my phone won't let me make it bold.
|
Oops sorry, was borrowing a computer here, that was me.
Anyway to extrapolate further, the point is that being wrong is not a mafia trait, especially since as town we don't know anything.
|
I have already made my serious post and got schooled on the rules. Whoever the second mafia is, I don't know.
I can't say anything that I haven't said to defend myself. I find no reason to post the same messege repeatedly in the thread. Add the mafia's kill tendencies into the game and anyone who leads the discussion is killed.
|
Sorry I naven't been on today guys and I figured with the day lynch today I would have time to wait until night.
I am leaning towards HiroPro as mafia. Will do a whole post on why once this whole GSTL drama dies down. I reserve the right to change that opinion when I go through the filters again.
Though we have seen my record on reading people :-/ this game is hard without body language and tonal inflections.
|
Just going to point this out once and for all, pronouns please people. Her muffiny countance, She did this. I did mention skirt weather did I not?
Also, sorry I didn't get a chance to post, it has been rather ridiculous here at IPL. Gogo town.
|
I feel so bad about joining this game now, gmarsh linked me to it and I thought, oh yeah I should have enough time for a small 9 man before IPL.
Getting consistent Internet access there sucked, and I feel bad about not being able to make my last post on time. Well it is newbie mafia and I feel like I was the only real newbie because I kept trying to use the same tactics that are done in person for the forum.
Out of curiosity how often do town win these?
|
I mean I didn't feel bad being killed because yesterday was another travel day, I just wish I could have gotten a computer to post my case first. The only explanation I can figure out for killing me is being considerate since IPL was ending. I was extremely erratic with posting this week (I have learned not to play during travel weeks), and chances are I probably wouldn't have been able to make a post before the deadline for tonights vote anyway which would have been a mod kill. So hiro was clearly just being very considerate towards me with that.
|
Okay me being totally new again... WIFOM?
|
Kohles, if you have ever played in real life you would have realized there is almost no logic in that. The logic extends to hotbid/nazgul is alive after the first night and all the kills were used. They must be mafia. After that it is all reading people's reacts and emotions.
As I said I learned that this time, as well as the time required being much higher than I thought it would be, and while I realize you are pissed for me not realizing this beforehand, it is a newbie game made for learning. You came off as a massive dick the whole game with the attitude which makes people react in a certain way, making it impossible to actually get a neutral read, which leads to pure logic instead of being able to just get reads. When someone is a dick in a real life game, you kill them. I was just using the same rules between the two games, when they are completely different, which again, I already admitted. Notice how you made me get all defensive agin, even though the game is over. It is impossible to get a read off of anyone who has to triple read instead of just gut post since they over analyze it or get overly defensive.
|
Ty. Well clearly I just need to build up my resistance to Iocane powder.
|
S&b you were the only person I was sure of as town the whole game. Was kind of like my rok. Much love for that.
|
The problem IMO of being obnoxiously aggressive is that it puts everyone on the complete defensive, and makes it hard to make reads off of cadence and sentence structure because of that. Again, I have no place to talk because the only read I had about town/mafia was KB and S&B. I couldn't pick mafia out of a candy bag if they were the only kit kat 
There needs to be a balance of being aggressive, but not using obnoxious language that sets everyone on edge.
Sure, town can have problems from being too polite, but the level of aggression put forward on day 1 and until Kohbee was lynched by the two of them (and myself when I got pissy at them) was so high that it was daunting to even think about posting because of their language and so on.
