MAFIA THE GAME

Ok I'm not lurking I won't be around today. I'm of with my son to the 4-wheel offroad Jamboree (huge monster truck show http://www.4wheeljamboree.com/ ) with my son. no names have been put forth yet, so I guess I will start it with DJ Sypher as they asked to be lynched.


I vote DJ Sypher

Majority rules. Period.

If you're accused, you may of course plead your case and swing votes out of your focus but that's about it.

Ann R Kist: I haven't accused you because I promised you a clean slate, but try not to remind me of those unpleasant old times, please. The "everyone follows along like a dog" is already too borderline insulting. If you want people to follow YOU instead, then put your theory to the test and accuse someone, if not let people vote whatever they want unless you have info we don't.

I agree that the voting process allows us top get to know everybody. The "No Vote Strategy" will make the game fun for only 6 people at first (special roles).

Voting from day one gets everybody involved...

With that said I'll revise my previous paragraph and test Ann R Kist's theory myself .

VOTE: Dj Sypher
Just because I'd rather a player to read the rules than trying to take the easy way out, but whatever.

Well,

If someone doesn't want to or know how to play then they might as well be given a smooth uncontested lynching to remove them from their misery. In that vein

Vote DJ Sypher

But I have my own list that I am compiling for future votes. This list includes everyone that jumps into the game head first and says let's not lynch or let's tie. It's a bs theory. All the experienced players know this.

Adrian said something about an Anrkissed post. Funny, I don't remember reading one. Oh, yes, I did. But I guess that I simply purged it from my mind. Why would I do that? Well, the best weapon of the Mafia is to cause confusion. Anrkissed wants confusion in this game wether or not he's Mafia, so he's automatically a Mafia in my mind. Doesn't matter what role he has been assigned. The sooner the game is relieved of him the better. That's not a personal attack. Just simple logic.

It's hard enough figuring out who might be guilty or innocent. We don't need innocents throwing more confusion into the game for their own personal pleasure. It's easy enough to be an anarchist these days with all the crap going on, but this guy is your 100% version. No confusion = no fun. Sorry, that doesn't work too well, at least not for me.

well my vote is for dj sypher too.(just cause he wanted out)

but i believe that simply targeting someone for the way the played the game on previous boards is like playing d&d with foregone knowledge, and plain wrong. call it what you will but i believe wasting a vote on anyone for previous attitudes is dumb and you'd probably end up hurting yourself,,

i mean you are all suspect to me,, especially the more experienced players, I have never played with any of you and I am just supposed to take your word cause you guys had played before,,,sounds more like a sett up than an actuall game plan,, but then agian opinions are like buttholes everyone has one this one happens to be mine

I'll be at work until well after the deadline, so....

I vote DJ Sypher.

Ask and you shall receive.

Arf Arf (Baaa)

Well i think i got it now...sorry peeps lol its been a long week... lynch always good pitchforks and fire... dont waste ur votes on me...

my vote... tubby... think about it before you wipe me out...

edit by admid*** double post

DJ Sypher, you're the one who has placed the noose around your neck Now it doesn't feel so comfortable

Someone asking to be taken out in this game is a sure fire way of being taken out

However, if you manage to reverse the voting trend away from you I will also unvote you. Otherwise I think you'd better get your will ready.

Asking to be taken out helps us none either. It's a sure thing that the scum in our town will be all over that, they wont care who gets lynched by us and someone asking for it means they won't need to crawl from whatever lair they're hiding in to try and influence our votes and thus giving us no idea of who they are and no reasons for an investigation.

I'll vote later.

yeah i feel ur concern but why would i so willing put my head on the line... and then plead my case... i mean tubby was like oooo DJ Sypher and then considering this is my first ever game.. procceded to say about lynching cos of former roles???? maybe he trying to cover himself there....

like i said think about it...

<- not lurking, been busy. Holding my vote for now.

sypher,
if you re-read my post the first i said "see below i made it easier for you)


well my vote is for dj sypher too.(just cause he wanted out)

but then there after i started my mini rant about previous games, suspicous perhaps, but if you want to deflect the attention from you onto me because you all of a sudden have a change of heart go ahead, I'll be your huckleberry,

but if i get lynched, them my tubby's bar&grill/coffe shop/laundrymat/and college will close, and think about all those poor poor hicks that will never recieve their degree's in ditch diggin and manure management...

I'm going to stick with my initial kill the lurkers strategy and cast my vote for juggalorydaz, going with the idea of killing those yet to post it's him or boondock. I don't think we should vote for DJ while he may have "asked for it" he's now asking us not to kill him and playing the game, and not posting at all is worse then requesting to die IMO.

Vote: juggalorydaz

Kill All Lurkers!!

I too
Vote : juggalorydaz


----------------------------------------
And on a logistic note...
can we from the VERY beginning use the following Voting Options?

vote : whoever
Unvote
Vote: NOLYNCH

On its own line... possibly in Bold?
When votes are buried in the middle of paragraphs, the mod will miss them..
I'll miss them... its more confusing than anything!

And editing should be disabled! But it's not.. so everyone (especially our new friends). . try to avoid editing out anything important! Sure.. edit for typos.. or add stuff.. but if you take stuff away . . it can also be confusing!
----------------------------------------------

Of course, for the record.. I
Vote : juggalorydaz

I'm kinda worried about Elipse right now.
Yes he has posted but makes no comments, no vote as of yet, looks suspicious to me.

I mean if he can find the time to post why not post something of substance.

I vote Elipse

well , it's to early to KNOW anything , soo I probably won't vote. I am however going to watch to see who is on what side after the verdit on the lynching is in ..... I agree that a tie or no vote is not helpfull in weeding out the mafia bastages , so I will let the men do the killing whilst I do the thinking

@Stimp, Most of the time I've been on has been reading. That post simply was to let everyone know "Hey, I'm around." And also, it's the first day so any accusations would just lead to more confusion, anything i would of had to say has already been said. I'm all town, but instead of preying on a lurker you accuse me of being scum.


Kill all lurkers strategy seems to be the "in" thing now. If any lurker can defend themselves and convince me they are not scum, I will switch my vote.



My vote (for now): juggalorydaz

Alright. I'll throw my hand in with the 'lurker' deal and

Unvote DJ Sypher
Vote juggalorydaz

I don't mean to cause a tie and will change my vote if it comes down to one.


Current Vote Tally:

DJ Sypher = 4 (Gtosdad, Adrian, tubby216, statelywayne)
tubby216 = 1 (DJ Sypher)
Ellipse = 1 (Stimp)
juggalorydaz = 4 (Dustin, camn, Ellipse, Wave)

My main concern with the kill the lurkers theme is that we have to remember there are new people playing. We are mostly pretty experienced in the game and as such they might be feeling intimidated and clueless bout what's going on. It's not like our first game where everyone playing was clueless.

That's why I voted for you Elipse because that one post was a simple "I'm here, don't lynch me" type of deal. A nice under the radar mafia tactic if you ask me.

@Stimp , so far all I think I know ,... lol is that you and I are town ...

this is Elipse's second game ... so he is new to , sort of

well i am just going to sit back and watch for awhile since i was voted for simply because i jumped to early, sorry for being overly axious. If it seems right then i'll pull my vote later on but i am not convinced nor do i totally agree with the lurker theory perhaps they are simply on different timezones or have stuff to. not defending but i am just playin devil advocate i guess.

although i feel tubby was overly defencive, i feel most of this confusion has been caused by my stupidity and not working the game out quickly enough...

but i dis-agree with tubby im in england and im finding time to post... so were back to the lurker thing...

unvote-tubby

vote-juggalorydaz

fair enough sypher, i did get a little but hurt over getting voted for first time out of the gate my appologies.


[b]unvote : Dj Sypher


i will wait till later to cast my actual vote

Although new players may want to sit back and watch the game to get a feel of it that also makes them a 'lurker'. That's certainly not a criticism, btw. But by being a lurker, for whatever reason, only helps the Mafia out. That's why so many are against lurkers.


Current Vote Tally:

DJ Sypher = 3 (Gtosdad, Adrian, statelywayne)
Elipse = 1 (Stimp)
juggalorydaz = 5 (Dustin, camn, Elipse, Wave, DJ Sypher)

Stimp, why are you so convinced I'm scum? (I had to real life stuff to deal with...) I think I've made it clear why my post was so generic.. other people seem to get that, why can't you?

@Elipse, I am no more convinced that you are scum than anyone else.

It was just something that I read into your post that a smart mafia player would post that they are not a lurker as a way of ensuring that they wouldn't attract the attention of those voting that way. Thus endangering their team's chances.

For all I know, you could be as innocent as a new born but a simple "I'm not lurking" post aroused suspicion in my eyes.
