My Little Pony: Friendship is Mafia - Page 6

That crying fluttershy is awfully convincing.

I think a case could be made for Smarty being scum though. If we assume that the roles are assigned at random, then he has just as much a chance of being scum as Snake or myself. If anything, his 'act like scum' thing might be a sort of diversionary tactic.

On a less serious note, I found Smarty's avatar for this game.

Well, I get some time to check on this and find lots of pink text. Huh.

Snake's arguments make sense, and I know he tends to be the "take it (a little too) seriously" type, so he probably isn't just being crazy. However, I don't have any experience playing mafia with Snake yet, so I won't just follow along and unvote Smarty right away until something actually develops, here.

I would like to see some more discussion here other than the two-to-three man conversation that's going with a couple guys making a quip every now and then. I know it's Day 1, but it would be nice to get the ball rolling so we don't just vegetate and miss anything.

So... Snake/anyone else who's active, what should the course of action be? Smarty is being weird, but he always is! Who else could we pick on?

Now, back to partyin', partyin' (yeah!)(not really).

I think I can safely say that Snake's argument against Karesh is strong evidence in favor of Ramary's suspicion that Snake's earlier post was a trap designed to provoke a reaction that could be used to determine scumminess. Whether Snake is Mafia himself, looking to latch onto anything he can use to build a reasonable appearing fake case against a townie, or whether he is Town aligned, truly hoping to catch a mafiate out, I don't know. I'm inclined toward the latter, as if he was mafia, when the person he accused is shown to be town after their death, suspicion would turn back toward him, which would be an undesirable outcome. It would make more sense for him, as a mafiate, to more subtly push the vote toward someone else.

Either way, he's playing at least two levels above me.

Nikose Tyris · 09-23-2011, 10:11 PM

Eh. I still don't think Fenris is inventive enough to make Snake anyone but Pinkie Pie. Just throwin' that out there. xD

Oron · 09-23-2011, 10:18 PM

It would fit pretty perfectly.

Gregness · 09-24-2011, 12:49 AM

For now:

FTHOO: Ramary

Due to suspicion of being the Dark Lord.

Also, Snake, replace "anti-town" with "anti-American" in all your posts.

I just blew your mind

Fenris, do scum have a role to hide behind, like they did in Snake's game?

Else, could we just do a "role call" (Hehe, I am clever), and figure out who's duplicating someone else's role? Granted, this would involve disclosing a lot of information to the scum (Mainly through guesswork as to which characters might have powers), but if everyone was on board, we might be able to swing it. We'd need full activity though, as idlers would light up as a false positive.

I'm not answering that.

Despite totally answering that and then deleting the post.

The role call idea is an interesting idea, could work could backfire. Beofre we attempt it we woud need two things- firstly we'd need eevryone on board and active and secondly a god idea of the kind of roles that are floating around- like a rough item of scum roles would be useful so we can run some quick maths on how a role cal should work out
