Oh yea, technically I should be a /in Open Forgot that replacing into the last NSM puts me at 4 games played, wouldn't mind a coach since I've only played 2 games with one, but doesn't really matter. | ||

I'm also willing to drop out and /replace instead, so that NocturneMage can have a slot if he wants. I'm helping HtS cohost Mafia Down Under and have been waiting on Cannons to start (maybe it will... one day) so honestly this game woulda gotten the short end of the stick of my attention if Cannons gets going. If need be I will fight GB in the mud for the chance to gracefully exit and make space for a newbie. | ||

Oh dear me, oh my! It seems I am rather unfashionably late to this party. Apologies, apologies, apologies. Please, if you would all be so kind, I need a bit of time to settle in and prepare. I shall get down to business shortly. | ||

Humm, yes ok I suppose this will do. *Sits down and pulls out a deck of cards. Looks them over briefly and then begins to shuffle* So then, I believe I am ready. To those of you already raising your eyebrows and beginning a motion that ends with your face beset firmly in your palm. This is less random than you'd think and my intentions will be clear shortly. For now, do your best to enjoy the ride. I have noticed often in these situations that I have a tendency to fly off the handle a bit. Many times I have begun with decent enough thoughts and ideas only to drown in a sea of "maybe"s, and thus I have begun to doubt my own mind. My own Mind! A terrible thing for a man to do... This day, though.... this day shall be different! I have decided to rely not simply upon my own thoughts and ideas today. Today I will call upon the very universe to help unravel this mysteries we face here today. Today fate shall guide my hand and my mind will be the passenger attempting to plot our course. *Clears throat* Yea, basically I'm gunna be doing Tarot stuff. | ||

State of the game ![[image loading]](http://www.corax.com/tarot/cards/thoth/disks-4.jpg) 4 of Disks The 4 of Disks is a card representing a state of stability and comfort. It suggests an atmosphere of potential, growth, and security. There is a danger though of becoming overly attached to this comfort. The castle has been built, it is strong and fortified. The pantries are full, the storehouse is brimming full, and the square is lively. Life is good. However, there is danger of becoming too cut off from the rest of the world. Conclusion: Everyone is feeling to be in a solid and safe place. All parties are feeling ready for the ensuing turmoil. There is danger of in-fighting of loosing focus on the actual matters at hand. Do not let this time of security fool you... | ||

Predicting the End ![[image loading]](http://www.corax.com/tarot/cards/thoth/wands-8.jpg) 8 of Wands The 8 of Wands is the card of swiftness. This is a sign of swift resolution, of a sudden flash of realization. The wands themselves represent pure energy while the number 8 draws that power into order. There is a warning to not waste time in dispute or inaction. The flash of inspiration/intuition/light quickly expands and reveals all. The correct path is show and all the dark corners are revealed. Darkness and confusion are ever at the edges of this light, but if focus is kept the goal will be achieved. Conclusion: The end will come quickly. Be it an overall fast game or that a sudden revelation will clear the way. Be wary of those showing little focus, causing disruption, or trying to start arguments. | ||

Can I has a card, too? + Show Spoiler + In before The Hanged Man (XII) Dis you need to roll something other than town, just for varieties sake. Still nice to see you out of the shadows ^.^ Since you asked... and yes Hanged Man would be ironic... + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/7ZBTZma.jpg) This card can be read either as a symbol of a new beginning or as a strong read into a persons character (strong because it is a powerful card). Some interesting lines I came across that describe the personality portrayed by the Princess of Disks a quiet, reserved person - sometimes shy can easily be a little too dependent from outside influences but nevertheless being unable to really adapt to others. practical and capable, though rarely seeking the limelight deals badly with conflict | ||

He straightens it carefully before laying it down on the table in plain sight. - I don't speak tarot, give me the human readable explanation* You got a very powerful card, I'm actually a little hesitant to draw to many conclusions from it. However it is of note, that it supports the weak townread I have of you. + Show Spoiler + The Ace is a powerful part of the deck as it represents the raw force or energy of the suit it is in. The suit here, Disks, tend to relate to earthly things wealth/land/shelter and is also often connected to projects and endeavors. It is unclear what that might mean in this context, however this line was interesting... There's a saying - 'The right teacher only appears when the student is ready'. It is as though we grow spiritually from the inside, the same way that trees do. And in so doing, maybe we develop inner rings - just like a tree's trunk. The outer ring, just under the bark could not exist without all of the others it encircles. | ||

We have hardly used up even half our day! There is still yet some time to play... So much needless aggression, you realize you are more likely to shove a brother than an enemy? You all scream for a feast for the mind, yet have spent most of your time fighting over scraps... | ||

For now... On July 24 2015 17:53 Rels wrote: Alright here I go. This first post from NocturneMage seems very prepared to me. And prepared post = scumlean. Why is it prepared ? Let me show you. RNG gave me town, thank God. I'm having a beer or two. Might be three. Not sure yet. <= VT claim + fluff about beer. ruXxar sounds like he's sick of playing scum though. <= Discussion about something in game. Although if the moderator is going to make this a Pokemon themed game, I really don't know what to say. <= Funny remark about host. So three different subjects in first post = prepared post. And prepared post means he may be afraid to post, hence why he prepared it so much. Plus in his later posts there are lots of questions + "i'm a noob" statement. See spoiler for source. It could mean he is mafia doesn't know what to talk about; could also just mean he's newbie and doesn't know what to talk about. So NAI. + Show Spoiler + On July 24 2015 07:22 NocturneMage wrote: He seems relieved to be town, assuming he's telling the truth, though the poetry makes me think he's more high than he is mafia.

On July 24 2015 07:32 NocturneMage wrote: Well it's my first game here and most of my mafia experience is from real life. It seems harder to fake being town in real life and I can't see it being much different on forum mafia with the body language and tone of voice aside. On July 24 2015 07:39 NocturneMage wrote: I played it a lot at parties in uni and in grad school. It was the party game of party games. I also have played a board game called Resistance which is somewhat similar except people don't die but you also do figure out if people are lying or not and try to include them on your team or not and then pass or fail the expedition party. What is your experience with mafia or is forums just it? On July 24 2015 07:41 NocturneMage wrote: It would seem like it. I don't know if I should make anything the way he's addressing people, ignoring his poetry, that could come from town or mafia. I'm assuming no ill-will means a town read? or a null read? I can't tell actually. ruxxar is that even a read on noobking? So, ##Vote NocturneMage @NocturneMage: if you're town, I want you to read Flexes' filter, who is also playing his first game. Only two posts, but he already discussed something relevant to the game. If you don't know: in the OP, if you click Flexes' name, you have access to all the posts he did in this thread. I find it very interesting that Rels decided to dedicate his entire opening to attack another players opening. The entire time I was reading his idea about Noc giving us a forced opening post I'm thinking "what a forced read on someone this is" Rels even mentions Plus in his later posts there are lots of questions + "i'm a noob" statement. See spoiler for source. It could mean he is mafia doesn't know what to talk about; could also just mean he's newbie and doesn't know what to talk about. So NAI. But why does that not apply to his opening post as well? | ||

If you actually picked the cards on your own and gave an explanation for what they meant I would be fine with it. The point of tarot is not always what the card "means" but rather what the card "implies". The difference is that one is a wrote definition whereas the other is a subjective interpretation. In other words, we can all use google to see what the card "means" but what I was interested was in what the card implies to you. Reactions to me asking you to read the card instead of the card itself are also valid ^.^ On July 25 2015 04:03 raynpelikoneet wrote: There is absolutely no reason to withhold basic information like reads here Tictock. You want to be (1) read as town so you have the credibility to (2) convince people into lynching mafia if you are town. What you are doing is counter-productive at best. Possible. I realize full well what I am doing. | ||

Interesting you ignore that my post is regarding Rels and instead want me to discuss Noc... For now I'm not certain of either, but they are far from my top scum atm. Consider them weak townreads for now... Rayn on the other hand has a strong possibility of being mafia... His pushiness and argumentative nature have been very telling to me. Especially when it seems a lot of his points of discussion were brought up by others... | ||
