You'll have a lot of inactivity if you start before the new year, I'd imagine. It seems like people use mafia as a distraction from normal routines--when they actually have lots of free time (i.e. weekends and holidays) is when the activity is the lowest.

that being said I don't anticipate being inactive, whenever you decide to start. I'd just hate to be stuck with a town that doesn't show up...

wow, I thought the game had started without me when I saw 8 pages all of a sudden, and not much of it spam!

So, did we decide yet if clashing is good or bad for town? Also, LSB, why not move up day vig instead of copy cat? Unless the plan is to lose a really good role right off the bat, copy cat is probably gonna end up with something lame, right?

yeah, I understand that possibility. But for that to happen, scum have to control both day vig and copycat, which aren't particularly strong roles on their own. Also, one mafia will be sacrificed (the day vig) in this plan, which is a steep price to pay even for a good role.

I think a poll is a better idea, so it's anonymous. Otherwise you're telling the mafia your role (once the draft order is published).

My thoughts exactly LSB. It's pretty easy to say you have something simple and effective, quite another to deliver. And, any plan presented or polished after the draft order is complete is pretty suspect. If you have something Jimbo, tell us now.

EBWOP:
I meant regarding jimbo (LSB posting too fast). Here's the full post with quotes and everything.

Why wait after the draft order? Isn't that a great way for the mafia to try to assign roles they want to their own people?

If we do it before the draft order comes out, we won't have to worry about the mafia influencing the plan for their own benefit.

Wait wait wait. We have people who are actively saying "I don't agree with this plan, but I'm going to do it anyway". What sort of nonsense is this?

Don't like it, think of a different one. Tweak it for the better, something. Saying you disagree with something and its a bad idea then going along with it is what leads towns to failure. Jesus.

I take it this is the post that caught your attention fishball? I have noticed a definite tendency for scum to be very critical and point out how everything happening/being done is bad for the town. But I would also kind of expect BC to be beyond that kind of tell...

As you already deduced LSB, I picked 3,3. I decided right after I read the rules, but I should have changed my pick after you posted that damn chart, oh well.

was going to post this but haplo beat me to it. I'll post it anyway I guess.

Copy Cat - You start off with no powers. However once the first power role dies you get an exact copy of their role.

We better not kill decon until we know where the copy cat is. According to LSB's plan, it should be amber.

ok dude.

Jimbo and Aidnai don't have to be opposite alignment because they picked the same numbers coincidentally. It's just less likely that we're both mafia, that's it.

I know this is horrible, but I'm pretty wrapped up in team mini mafia at the moment. That game will be over soon though.

I'm just waiting for something to happen. I got a high draft number, I may or may not have a mediocre role, there's really no reason for me to be important this game. Also, almost every alignment guess I've made in team mini mafia was probably wrong, as well as every red read I got in mafia XXXV (I was following along not playing).

But tell you what, I'll do us both a favor and stop posting just to avoid a modkill.

meaning i'll make more significant posts that have greater intentions that simply avoiding modkill. In case that wasn't clear.

meh. I won't fault anyone for voting me, I haven't even cared enough to read all the posts in here. Sorry for not being a good townie, I know I've been frustrated with bad townies in my past games. I even knew my posting was scummy (after all, this is my 5th game), but I didn't care enough about looking scummy to even try to look like I was contributing. Like I said, avoiding a modkill.

My advice to you jimbo is don't tunnel. If you tunnel on me, you'll miss everything else in the thread and when I eventually flip green you'll be wondering if you anything you know is true. (just happened to me in team mini mafia). Just do your best to stay objective, that's all.

oh god here i go again i can't help my scummy self

You're definitely tunneling now jimbo. Just saying.

I'm reading up on the thread, pigsquirrel gave an awful reason for voting me (cause i "don't care", not cause i'm scum). But the rest of his posts look good. Actually excellent for a first time player.

As for lynching LayOffRage, thing is, he can be a pretty decent scumhunter, and he's active, and he claimed green. I don't see why he needs to die before we even get a read on the players in the top 8. And fishball is almost certainly not the traitor.

If you guys need someone to die with a role to make sure the CC gets something not too strong, I'm your man.
