Mafia Time! - Page 8

Shit, 4 hours? Screw you and your 48-hour days, bard.

Okay, let's get this on.

I've gone through the thread and done a search on everyone, to get a general picture of people's activity.

Mr.Bookworm and Moogle both jumped out as having made absolutely no contribution to any sort of discussion. Bookie made two joke posts, moogle made one, and then they were never heard from again.

A couple of people made minimal contributions, but it's been a fairly small game so far, so I can understand that. Not having said anything, though, is weird.

A bunch more people contributed a lot. Some of these contributions were shakily justified (such as IC's suggestion that we lynch nikose, or nik's initial randomvote), but I don't think any of the high-activity players have displayed overwhelming suspicious activity.

And on the balance? I think I'd prefer to lynch one of the inactives on day 1.

I'm aware that silent people just might be power roles, and that, by raising this point, I'm risking that power roles end up dying. But fact is, I'd rather have talkative players than silent players. Because, whatever happens, we can keep an eye on the talkative ones, and we can analyze their behavior. We can find stuff out. We'll still gain information from the daily discussion and the lynch. And honestly, when I get a power role, I try to at least maintain a pretense of activity. I don't just shut down. And given that they signed up for this game, their shutting down seems very weird.

Honestly, my suspicion is this. The active players are (mostly) clean, and the silent ones decided to lean back and let us tear each other apart. I can't base that on anything, it's a hunch, but it'd explain the general behavior so far, and it ties into my preference of lynching the inactives.

We should definitely keep an eye on... let's see, kerensky, IC, greed, nik, and myself. But for our lynch, let's go after either Moogle or Bookie.

Vote: Moogle.

Edit:
Also, can we extend the days? Please?

Fine, but you guys best pick up the pace in the future! This day will end at a time of my choosing tomorrow. I'll give you a warning before it happens.

I'm curious as to everyone's opinions.

Kerensky I felt his jokes were just really odd and now a grudge match. Voting for Nikose solely because of a grudge match seems a bit scummy and seems like just an excuse.

Nikose is acting weird too, but I found his posts to be somewhat helpful too.

Overall, I think Kerensky is going a bit too far with everything more so than Nikose and everybody else.

Okay, since the day's apparently over in 4 hours and I have the most votes, it's roleclaim time.

Roleclaim: Finn the Human, Vigilante, Town-aligned.

Right now I'm leaning heavily toward BahamutFlare because of that sharp knee-jerk response to two early joke posts.

I'm also concerned about IC, for that severe push toward Nikose; admittedly I backed that at the beginning, but there just isn't enough evidence to justify that kind of finger-pointing. My own finger-pointing stemmed from the fact that 1) I tend to be rather guillible and accepting, even in mafia games, and I was trying to artificially counteract that, and 2) I didn't understand why someone would claim miller at that specific timeframe - either immediately or much later made sense to me, but not right there.

Still, Nik said that he didn't know about Adventure Time, and the Duke of Nuts is honestly the perfect miller - a fact that I didn't even know until I saw that specific episode. Either he's lying about being unfamiliar with the show (possible/probable!) or he's 100% honest.

Going after Moogle for that jokevote is ill-advised, I think. He has displayed a tendency to just not be around that often for Mafia (which has caused me heartbreak in the past :C ) and while I sincerely hope he'll show before time's up to unvote me, I don't think that sort of thing is a Mafia signal.

Kerensky287 · 12-14-2011, 04:29 PM

Also, Unvote: Nikose in hopes that we can temporarily end this grudge match and reduce my chances of an early lynch. A grudge truce, if you will.

Thanks. You ninja'd me with that (it was a long post!) but yes, indeed, thanks.

Roleclaim stands. STILL probably not gonna make it to Day 2 because of the evil scary mafia, but hopefully I can get at least one nightkill off. My observations are above, but I'm open to recommendations, assuming I survive.

BahamutFlare appears to have failed to notice that Nikose initiated the grudge match first...?

BahamutFlare · 12-14-2011, 04:37 PM

Gem and Bard ninja'd me.

I agree with most of what Gem said, but if you have suspicions on people that are active, why go after an inactive?

Geminex · 12-14-2011, 04:42 PM

Because it's day 1, and whatever suspicions we have, they're based on 1 days' worth of discussion. If we wait, we'll get more evidence. Whereas mutes are always mutes. Plus, mutes don't contribute. Active players do.

Geminex · 12-14-2011, 04:44 PM

Even if those active players are scum and trying to manipulate town, they're still interacting and sharing info. Leaving evidence, kinda.

That's how I see it, anyway. But that's based on 3 games' worth of experience, so I might be wrong.
