[Themed] AVATAR Mafia Game Thread - GAME ON

[Aginor-Mafia]

VOTE: CYNDANE

 

I never liked you. The sooner you're gone, the better for all of us.

[Belal-Mafia]

And allowing ones self to be balefired by one of these inept children who claim to be Aes Sedias is anything to brag about?

 

I would say it is something to brag about, I am cut out of the pattern entirely. I escaped the Dark Ones grasp. When my old friend, Lews Therin Telamon, defeats the Dark One, I won't have to put up with an eternity of torture. I'm also still talked about in reverent tones, while those of you who were reincarnated are a big joke. So yuck it up all you want, I will always be remembered as one of the greatest forsaken ever.

 

(Damn it's so hard not to talk about ToM spoilers right now! That'd knock the smug smile right off your face *grins evilly*)

[amegakure]

I am not aboard the Lanfear bandwagon at this time. In fact, Asmodean's bandwagon jump looks suspect to me.

not a bandwagon jump. just self preservation at its peak. she had the most votes. i dont like randoms and we need more to lynch.

this account thing is confusing lol. I have to keep logging in and out and I normally never do

[Lanfear-Mafia]

[iNSERT USUAL "ANTI-DAY ONE" BANTER HERE]

 

And now that I'm over being upset at having no art of me on the internet, I'll VOTE BALTHAMEL for needing that creepy mask. Skin lotion, hun. It does wonders.

 

No reply to me? I'm sad. It's like you're trying to avoid confrontation, hun.

 

 

Vote: Lanfear

 

 

VOTE LANFEAR

 

 

who killed me who!!!!

 

IT WAS YOU!!!! VOTE: LANFEAR

 

Lanfear sees a high likelihood of scum being one of these three bandwagoners. Now Lanfear could see Moridin's vote as self-preservation. But Asmodean, on the other hand, straight up bandwagons and covers it with a joke.

 

So Lanfear says:

 

UNVOTE, VOTE: ASMODEAN

 

- Lanfear

 

 

So in a game of some 21 players you're worried about having 5 votes on you? That's, what, six votes from a lynch? Are you not normally a big fan of random vote stages?

 

Lanfear is intrigued by this response. On the one hand, Be'lal sounds like an experienced player. On the other hand, he ignores the fact that we have to start playing at some point. And he also ignores the fact that the slower we take to actually start playing, the sooner someone is randomly bandwagoned because "it's almost the deadline and we need to lynch." Lanfear thinks this feels like a subtle defense of Asmodean.

I am intrigued by this response. I think the trip with the Aelfinn and Eelfinn must've addled your brains dear Lanfear because none of the quotes quoted in your response were in fact mine. So you must think about me an awful lot to get me mixed up with a different forsaken. I'm sorry that your play for my friend Lews didn't pan out, but I always pegged you as someone a littler smarter than that. Someone is getting a little over defensive considering you don't have even half the votes. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

[Guest Mesaana-Mafia]

UNVOTE

 

 

VOTE LANFEAR

[Lanfear-Mafia]

Lanfear is intrigued by this response. On the one hand, Halima sounds like an experienced player. On the other hand, she ignores the fact that we have to start playing at some point. And she also ignores the fact that the slower we take to actually start playing, the sooner someone is randomly bandwagoned because "it's almost the deadline and we need to lynch." Lanfear thinks this feels like a subtle defense of Asmodean.

 

- Lanfear

 

 

Be'lal is correct. For some reason Lanfear confused Be'lal's response with Halima's. But the reasoning still stands.

 

P.S. Here comes Mesaana with reasonless bandwagon #4. Anyone else seeing a pattern here?

 

- Lanfear

 

[Guest Mesaana-Mafia]

I came with the reasonless bandwagon just to see how you would react. ATM you are far from a lynch and have nothing to worry about but your getting very skittish. Intesresting....

 

My vote stays. For now....

[Kivam]

Uhhh...Amega. Wrong account buddy.

11 to lynch

[Lanfear-Mafia]

Mesaana's excuse for blatant bandwagoning was a "poke" vote, and she said that Lanfear was "skittish" in her reaction to Mesaana's vote.

 

There's a problem here, though. Lanfear has already reacted to blatant bandwagoning in this game, and Lanfear's reaction was the same. If Mesaana thinks Lanfear is "skittish" now, then Mesaana had to think that Lanfear was "skittish" before her vote.

 

This begs the question: why didn't Mesaana simply vote Lanfear for being "skittish" in the first place?

 

Lanfear thinks this is a retcon. Mesaana saw a player halfway to a lynch and jumped on the wagon. Then she made up some nonsense in an attempt to cover herself. Notice that she calls Lanfear "skittish" without actually explaining how Lanfear is skittish.

 

- Lanfear

 

[Lanfear-Mafia]

Lanfear forgot to add that Lanfear will stay on Asmodean for now, but Lanfear is also willing to vote Mesaana.

 

- Lanfear

 

[Guest Moridin-Mafia]

Your reactions are merely cementing my vote. I voted you because I dislike Lanfear. Your posting style is doing my head in.

[Guest Rahvin-Mafia]

Your posting style is doing my head in.

 

Amen to that. Lanfear, wanna join my harem? There are.......perks......if ya know what I mean. *wink*

 

 

But really, you're just hot. Really.

[Balthamel-Mafia]

*checks in*

You might know where im hiding but you dont know who I am!Mwhahaha

(I really shouldnt have a WoT named account...)

 

*chuckles in an amused sort of way* Well it appears that statement was made redundent. Very slick, yes very slick in deed. This just highlights the ineptness of those children in the "Tower" for having not found you before.

 

 

*Snorts* Second after Ishamael? No need to regale us with that drivel. Second place to a crazy is nothing to brag about.

 

UNVOTE

 

You're antics amuse me for now, so I shall elect to keep you around for the time being. While I do agree Ishmeal's sanity is in question; there is no arguing that he is Nae'Bliss, and by association I am 2nd in place to become Nae'Bliss if anything ... ah.. unfortunate should befall him.

 

And allowing ones self to be balefired by one of these inept children who claim to be Aes Sedias is anything to brag about?

 

I would say it is something to brag about, I am cut out of the pattern entirely. I escaped the Dark Ones grasp. When my old friend, Lews Therin Telamon, defeats the Dark One, I won't have to put up with an eternity of torture. I'm also still talked about in reverent tones, while those of you who were reincarnated are a big joke. So yuck it up all you want, I will always be remembered as one of the greatest forsaken ever.

 

(Damn it's so hard not to talk about ToM spoilers right now! That'd knock the smug smile right off your face *grins evilly*)

 

Duram, I would not advise you boosting such drivel. Next you'll once again boast for the 100th time about the one brightest moment of your short pathetic existance. We've all already, as you say, "had to put up with an eternity of torture" from hearing about the single time you beat Kinslayer in a game of stones *cough*by cheating*cough*. Do stop while your ahead.

 

*scoffs* Remembered as the greatest of the Frsaken, surely not! Maybe the greatest downfall of the Foresaken.

 

See my fellow Forsaken, he speaks from his own mouth the words of a traitor. I tried to tell you all "once a traitor, always a triator" but does anyone ever listen to me, does anyone ever head my advice? I feel strongly that we would be better off withough the traitorist Be'lal *nods* Yes,very strongly about this indeed.

 

Your reactions are merely cementing my vote. I voted you because I dislike Lanfear. Your posting style is doing my head in.

 

 

VOTE: LANFEAR Tis better for a majority lynch than leaving it up to the Dark One to decide.

 

However, Lanfears antics do amuse me, talking in the third person to highlight her own arrogance. One would almost think that maybe she has some sort of Post Restriction; unlikely as it is Day 1, but certaintly food for thought.

 

Her reactions toward the votes do appear to implicate a much more devious behavior than the rest of us; so I'm rather content with my vote until further information presents itself.

[Osangar-Mafia]

I've been thinking (of course I have! It's what I am best at.)-

 

Query: How likely is it that the Fire Nation employs a finder of sorts?

 

Query: How prepared is the town to run interferance to hide identities that NEED to stay hidden?

 

Theory: The vote counts are a plausible method to correlate certain data that should remain as obscure as we can make it. If the Fire Nation figures out the correlative data, we've screwed the proverbial pooch.

 

Theory: The info is correlative for the town too. We sit back and relax and wait for certain people to maybe vote a certain way then greet them with a quick stop at the end of a short drop. Then what? The secret's out, and we have to cover our backsides. No two ways about that. Mad scramble to the finish, hoping we have enough tricks up the proverbial sleeve.

 

Point: We need to run interference the entire time rather than react later for a higher chance of success. In other words, vote for that which we cannot, must not kill, but only carefully so with real reasoning to get on and off the vote all the while protecting the Avatar from ever coming close to catastrophe.

Lanfear agrees with this post with entirety. We cannot allow the Avatar's identity to get out in any way whatsoever -- this includes process of elimination.

 

- Lanfear

 

[Lanfear-Mafia]

Lanfear is also grammatically challenged. Lanfear meant to say "Lanfear agrees with this post entirely."

 

- Lanfear

 

[Lanfear-Mafia]

Lanfear had hoped not to do this so early, but Lanfear's wagon is edging dangerously close to the "bandwagon for majority" stage.

 

Lanfear has a very useful role. The closest analog in normal mafia would be the Jack of All Trades. Lanfear has a handful of one-shot abilities: Nation Finder (Lanfear can find out what nation a player belongs to), Healer, and Vigilante.

 

Lanfear had hoped to save the Healer ability for the right moment to catch the mafia off guard, but it looks like Lanfear will be forced to use it tonight (if Lanfear isn't lynched). So, Healer: Do not target Lanfear. There are more important targets at the moment -- yourself and the Avatar. This should go without saying, but Lanfear wants to make sure.

 

And finally, Lanfear would beg the town to stop thinking with the hair on their chests and start considering the behavior of Asmodean or Mesaana.

 

- Lanfear

 

[Balthamel-Mafia]

*rubs his chin* These are two very enlightening statements. I agree as, we cannot allow the Avatar to be discovered, and our actions could very well make the job of finding him that much easier.

 

Osangar, when I first read your statement I couldn't help but be slightly suspicious of it; I'm always of the opinion that certain issues, especially ones as delicate as this, are in some ways better left out of sight out of mind. As there is no way for us to discuss how to handle the event of the Avatar being targeted with out the scum knowing our plan, one might assume you are in fact scum trying to sniff out a potential win under the guise of being overtly helpful.

 

Call it my suspicious nature, but when you toss your card in with the lot known as the Forsken one must be suspicious incase the silver lining is really a trap. After all, it isn't only the actions of us which may implicate the Avatar, but the actions of the Avatar as well. It is my opinion that if actions will easily out a person, then its best to leave our actions up to chance rather than assign them a pattern.

 

The points you cite are worth noting, especially concerning bandwagoning for just a vote or two. We know who not to vote, and we also know the scum knows this. Another possible option for us is to let the finder sort it out, unless we can build a good case; in other words, play as if this win condition isn't relevant while at the same time keeping it in the back of our minds.

 

UNVOTE In light of this new information I’m less willing to vote you right now Lanfear, consider it a brief reprieve. One thing strikes out at me for your role reveal. The only people in this show who were concerned with what nation a person was from were the Fire Nation. However, this slight concern is countered by the healer & vigilante ability; as I couldn’t really see giving the scum team a 2nd kill.

 

I wish you to divulge something my dear, just to ease a nagging worry. Tell me, is your need for talking not only in the 3rd person but also to sign your name to each response something of your own doing or is it beyond your control. If you cannot communicate so with words, you can always blink once for yes and twice for no darling. *chuckles at his own joke*

[Rita Skeeter]

Well, Asmodean and Mesaana always seem like they are up to something. I do believe it is in their nature. So, you do have a point. Now, we were told no reveals. I suppose that means Avatar names and not roles. However, convenient for you to come up with this when we are not really that close to a majority vote. Seems you suffer from premature revealing. Also, in telling us what your actions are some of the more active mafia players might be able to figure out a character role with that information. Well, those who know the series and mafia at the same time. Just some observations. Since you did that sort of reveal I will hold off on my vote on you at the moment.

 

 

ASMODEAN

 

 

Honestly just a gut feeling on you at this moment. I hate to use it as the reason to vote, but one must make sure the game moves along.
