DPR Mafia - The Dark Monocle - Game Thread

Ah, just remebered that. I retract my statement then, and humbly ask for your pardon sir.

 

And since the wiki is down, anyone know what a politician is?

[Nolder]

in my experience a politician role tends to be a player who switches alignments every other day or something like that

[WWWwombat]

There is an extra vote on every train so Nolder's theory doesn't jive.

[Nolder]

oh it looks like DPR is using the definition from that wiki

so Basel bought Aemons vote and used it to kill Des

lame

[John E. Kelley]

From the link, it appears that Basel himself was the extra vote. His role controls an extra vote anyway.

[Basel Gill]

Okay, so I got... daykilled? Was that some kind of sniper role, I wonder? You people just wait till I get lynched as town. I'm so gonna haunt anyone who votes me.

[Nolder]

oh hey I didn't even notice that

that's really weird

maybe it's just a game mechanic?

today everyone is a double voter or something?

[John E. Kelley]

Ninja'd by Nol-san.

[Nolder]

actually that's silly

if everyone was a double voter the trains would be much much higher

 

ummm

ok so maybe every train just has an automatic extra vote (aka everyone takes 1 less vote to lynch)

[Ithillian Turambar]

Oh, blood and ashes. We've lost the doc politician already.

 

Seriously though ... Bad form lynching someone without hearing from them for 2 days. Although you can't just blame the goalie ... Even if Basel did buy that vote, it takes more than one to tighten a noose.

 

:footballanalogy:

[Nolder]

I don't get it

[John E. Kelley]

Actually, bad form to sign up for a game and not check on it for days. You get what's coming to you in that situation. It isn't as if he didn't know he had a train forming on him before this.

[mmeeshal]

Meh @ the being away thing, I didn't really believe he hadn't been online in a few days. 'Course, the days always blur together anymore, but I still could have sworn he'd posted more recently than that.

 

Ah well.

[mmeeshal]

Mmkay, so, his last post in THIS game was a little under 48 hours ago.

 

His last post that I can see anywhere was yesterday in the early AM.

 

So he wasn't gone THAT long. Just long enough, I guess.

[Leelou]

I hate blind lynches.

[Ithillian Turambar]

There was no deadline. There was no rush.

 

But what's done is done. I guess Despo may have actually been the one who protected Wombat from the Murder Attempt. Wombat was quite sure Despo was nearby when the attempt was made. Ironic that it ended up costing him his life.

[JenLenaMom]

A bodyguard kills the person that attacked the person they are protecting, does a doc or priest sound like a role that has a NK?

[Red2111]

Ithi's action int he game read like scum tbh, i'd love more pressure on her come Day 3.

 

I agree that either train will yield info at this point. And that either would be a good lynch. At this point, I'm going to base my vote on one item. The fact that Basel is new makes me willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. A lot more willing than you lot appear to be anyway. Personally, I'm a little disappointed by how willing all of you are to mercilessly harass and torment someone not as skilled at this as most of you are. It seems like the older kids picking on the little kid on the playground. Disgusting. Basel, this is what? Your second game ever? Don't you know that by now you should be a world-class player by now? What's wrong with you sir??

 

Vote Desp.

 

 

no we're teaching him how to play. the only way to learn how to react to pressure is to be pressured. failure is the best lesson, and everyone gets lynched over the same things a few times before they learn to use a different approach.

 

meh since I don't care I guess I'll hop on the Des train

Wombat you can expect to be strung up tomorrow if he's not scum though you know this right?

 

Unvote: Basel

 

Vote: Des

 

This post troubles me a lot. Nolder is trying to avoid responsibility for his vote and possibly line up lynches in advance almost as if he knows Des will flip innocent.

 

i agree with Wombat. Nols making it seem like Wombats claiming he viewed him. Wombats goign on his gut so far as i know. Nol is over exageratting and setting up for goign after Wombat later.

 

heavy FoS on Nol.

 

 

you're the one that started the entire train

intentionally I might add

this isn't just a case of "well I just happened to vote him first"

you've nudged and pushed it the entire day

don't try to push the responsibility onto me now

I'm responsible for my vote yes but we wouldn't even be here now talking about this if it wasn't for you

 

now your trying to make it like Wombat was tring to fade out of the light and let someoen else take over pushing for the lynch; which is a scum tactic.

 

yeah, you're pinging majorly as scum right now

 

 

 

and this is wher ei'm up to. i'm starving, Bubba's hungry and the muti-quote function isn't workign for me, it's acting like the reply button, so thats it for tonight.

[Nolder]

that's some BS Red

 

As I recall, a priest, being a godly man, cannot cast the hammer vote.

 

Also, someone attempted to murder me last night. Obviously I have struck the mark with my suspicions.

 

Vote: Despothera

 

Although Ithillian is most pernicious and cunning, I am more sure about Despothera's guilt.

Let's go back and review just what those suspicions were based on

 

Des is scum.

oh that's right

nothing!

post 29 Wombat just makes this simple statement

which is fine on Day 1 to incite discussion but remember he pushed this into Day 2

 

You really haven't learned how to get a read on me, have you Wombat?

 

Have we played in a game where you weren't sure I was scum day 1?

Overreaction. That's 3 scumtells from Des in as many posts. Definite scum.

 

Vote: Des

overreaction huh?

obviously he's just trying to bait Des into an argument but he's also being persistent about it

 

I am 65% confident that Des is mafia.

Make that 68%

based on?

 

Ok so someone was replaced with an automaton. Sounds like a cult game. Also, Ithi is defending Des a bit too hard to be explained just by the bond.

speaking of linking and setting up future lynches...

 

and that brings us back to where we started with Wombat accusing Des of being the one who tried to kill him

mind you this is more or less all of Wombats posts up to this point

I believe I left out maybe 2?

he's added nothing to the game but tunneling on Des from the very beginning and where did it get us?

 

I'm pushing responsibility onto Wombat?

you bet I am

he IS responsible for Des's lynch

[Netbattler11]

./epicderp. I honestly thought des was a L-1.

[WWWwombat]

Given that D1 ended early, pushing a D1 case into D2, especially when it is seemingly confirmed by N1 actions is not outrageous imo. Furthermore, just because I don't elaborate on my reasons for voting someone at the time that I vote them does not mean that I don't have them. If you want to see the reasons I had for voting Des, please refer to this post:

In the time I've been at Mafia, I've learned that making a vote without an explanation for it is a scumtell.

 

Whoever told you this is wrong and has set you up to fail in this game. Wombat never gives reasons hardly, its like his 'thing' but if he is Town in a game - he often finds the Mafia.

there's a name for that but I forget what, it's on the mafiascum wiki somewhere

but it's kind of a bad mindset to have

it puts too much on the person

 

I believe the argument goes "soandso is good and finds mafia a lot but this game they haven't therefore they must be mafia"

 

we've all had bad games and I don't think we should bump ANYONE up to "master" status because we're just setting them up to die

look at DPR and Kivam

IIRC part of the reason they don't play around here so much anymore is that people expect so much from them and if they aren't nightkilled because they're not on the mafia team they're lynched for fear that they ARE on the mafia team

it makes it not fun for them

 

also I'm sure they're fairly busy with life and stuff but I think that at least contributes to them not playing as often

 

Here you are worried about putting too much on me, Nolder, yet now you are putting the entire Despothera lynch on me. I take responsibility for my role in lynching Despothera. I was first on his train, and I pushed his lynch pretty much all of D1 and D2. That being said, it took 14 votes to lynch him and he was ninjahammered. I am not responsible for people sheeping me or scum brazenly ninjahammering.

No no no no

two very different things

in my post I'm talking about meta and putting people on a pedestal

that has nothing to do with putting responsibility on you for his lynch

 

I'm sure there are others responsible as well

the sheeple, the hammerer, etc but no one bears as much as you do for pushing this

[WWWwombat]

So now that you've assigned blame for the Despothera lynch, who do you blame for Basel?
