I ended up telling showtime for the sole reason that I was afk for the majority of the entire game, and I was actually going to tell him before I had died, but then my access to a computer was removed the night before I was going to tell him. The fact that he was told so late in day 2 was because I simply couldn't get access to msn, and when I did our conversation was 30 seconds or so because I couldn't stay on.

When asked by Qatol I told him the above minus the day 2 information without any concealment. You guys can point fingers or whatnot, but I figured I was just rectifying the penalty that having an afk DT would have on the town. The utter rape which followed was far more a credit to showtime making a very nice play than anything else.

Cheers.

That has happened to people many times before, and they haven't cheated (or knowingly anyway) what you did was still pure utter bs. The dead stay dead. In a invite only "vet" game, all players should know that better than the rest, hugely disappointing to see people cheating so rampantly in a smurf game.

L does deserve credit for not trying to conceal anything about it at all. Thanks for being honest.

I talk behind the scenes with 15-20 players per game during and after the conclusion, and this statement is utterly false. This type of information transmission is incredibly common. In fact, its so common that mafia have taken to avoiding hitting certain members of certain PM rings because they know that some of the players will continue discussing and passing around information. In the largest games we've had the effects were most pronounced, where there would be entire IRC channels full of people who were dead and others inside rings talking. Somewhat counter-intuitively, the games which are blowouts are the ones that people are the least interested in, and the ones that exihibit the least rulebreaking of this sort.

The only real 'uncommon' part here was that I actually admit to doing it willingly in an incredibly limited manner. If I really wanted to dodge this, I'd have just pretended to not know I had died before telling showtime, then going "oh shit, srysrysry" afterwards, which is also fairly common. I could have also just flat out lied to Qatol.

This isn't really meant to start a fight or anything, but that's the context of the situation. I really don't think it would have changed the course of this game at all, either, so take it for what you will. I mean, you of all people should know this, given how we ended the 2 mafia team game by semi collusion due to rape.

I apologize for going inactive Pyrry, but the smurf game was a bad idea - I don't tend to log out and I don't want to use Internet Explorer (because it sucks) so I forgot about the game. The other problem was everyone trying to find the smurfs - wasn't the whole point of a smurf game to try and play without prior assumptions about players? So basically I just decided to forget it after those two factors.:/ Understandable if I'm banned from future games.

i totally forgot about this (again)
so for those of you who are still interested or curious (i haven't read anything since page 9) i was the first one to be lynched. i made my account, signed up, forgot about it, and PM'd Pyrr telling him to PM me back when the game starts. then i forgot about the account and never logged onto it. one day i get a PM saying "voting ends in a few hours, why aren't you playing?". immediately i post saying that i just got on and will try to get caught up soon. unfortunately i died before i could get caught up. so that's the story.

yup. epic fail.
