A Tale of Middle Earth: Game OVER

[Askthepizzaguy]

Now that I'm caught up, I see that I have invoked your vote. If you don't vote me when you get back, I will vote you for lying.

I believe in the power of honest players to do the right thing, and I also believe that lies can be useful to generate reactions.

 

If you choose to vote for me for not voting for you, that will tell me something new about you.

 

Pleased to meet you!

[Sili Quirrels]

I have a couple initial reads now. It's a good start in my opinion.

That stuff about your name felt like you were floating. That last reads post doesn't seem particularly sincere either.

[Andrej]

 

 

 

I'm going to be doing husbandly/fatherly stuff in support of my wife for Mother's Day so that should buy you all time to figure out what it means to be Town so finding scum is easy.

so basically u are gonna head out to the shed to tinker with the car that doesnt need it and drink beer??

*grunts*

 

Also, hello Dice.

This reminds me, you said the same line in a recent game I saw you in, but I forget which. You said you would scum read the next person who posted.

 

So now I'm curious if you did that to imitate your town game or if you did it out of habit.

[Andrej]

 

 

 

 

Checking in! I don't know most of you either, which does make it more interesting.

Hi I'm AJ (the REAL one)

Have you played mafia before? How much experience do you have?

Hi AJ! I have played mafia before, but never on this forum. It seems a lot more complicated here :)

Cool, it's nice to meet you. Where have you played before? I look forward to seeing you in action.

 

And I should warn you, considering the mod this game will probably have a severe case of AIDS.

 

In fact, we've probably all caught it already.

[Sooh]

how many votes are on sooh?  like 4 now?

Well.. it has been a while since VC, but I think two? Hallia and Zan

[Darthe]

What is AIDs again?

[Andrej]

What is AIDs again?

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

 

I thought you had like a college degree and stuff?

I like that you seem to have put on your try-hard villagery pants for this game.

 

Make me see what you're seeing

[seph]

 

 

[unvote]  [v]Eldrick[/v] for spamming

:P

 

It's how I play. I post as I catch up.

 

 

use multi quote. posting as you catch up is bad form because you could end up posting after your own death and therefore break the rules of the game (I did it once)

After reading the thread again the only person I find suspicious is EP

and then there was one.

This post just pings me

 

 

it's the sound one makes in frustration boredom hunger or agreeance

this was in responce to the grunt question.

 

 

I wasn't expecting this game to start so shortly after Heart's did, but ok then. I hope I can keep up with both.

How does it feel to be town?

 

not sure where you're going with this will observe.

 

 

 

for the record I'm waiting til everyone actually checks in before I get serious (or the check in deadline ends)

I don't see the point in this, it seems to me your being unhelpful, and going with the flow. [v] Eternal Phoenix[/v]

I was the first player to post so there was only one player in the thread "so then there was one" was the most viable statement. Saying it rubs you the wrong way... very poor attempt to cast suspicion.

 

Also for the record most games with a check in window usually don't start til that is over. If you're going to go after a single individual for something when multiple people are doing it another even admitted they were doing it too, makes you very scummy. So FoS at you, I'll probably be voting you later unless I see something more telling.

 

Mafia games start at the first post for me, regardless if I am right or wrong you can learn more about how a person reacts and I find it extremely useful later in the games for iso's. I feel I am right here though.

 

so what your saying is we should be laid back until everyone posts? I feel like that is nonsense, No one has stated anything like this except you. In fact there are a lot of people using the early game to find mafia. your just hanging out and moving with the crowd, so yes I find it extremely suspicious.

please show me who else has stated this. I re read the thread and you are the only one admitting to it and I think it is scummy.

your pointing a Fos at me just for voting you?

I am fine with my vote here.

 

 

 

I think I kinda like that post EP.

 

?

 

 

Though there is no doubt Seph`s case was phrased awkwardly it seems like it might be an overreaction.

 

Tbh what struck me as true is what he said about seph`s first quote. Basically Seph has a lot to elaborate on. I`m interested in where this is going.

 

Normally I`m the one being aggressive early so I`m happy to see someone else step up to the plate.

 

what would you like me to elaborate on?

[Zander?]

+1 for the awareness

Hard claim: Flying Pumpkin

 

Your move, wolves.

 

Heh, I have no idea what that is. But I like the villagery tone behind it.

 

Just wait until Pizza gets started... 4000 posts later...

 

@Mod: mind PMing Pizza a link to this game? He may not know to look.

 

I'm a grown lad, I can navigate without a GPS. It's the only way to truly be a pizza guy.

 

Navigating unfamiliar territories and never getting lost is my bread and butter. Or was.

 

Meta note: Pizza is the only person in this game that probably lies as much as me as Town. Probably.

 

Lying is an important facet of the village game.

 

I claimed bulletproof one game on day one and told the scanner to scan me. I told the scanner to say nothing unless I was indeed guilty.

 

That night I checked a wolf, and the next night.

 

When I finally revealed I was the scanner, not a bulletproof, I had the game pretty much wrapped up.

 

Wolves don't know how to act, always believe villagers tell the truth.

 

Here. Hi Taborline and Pizza!

 

Waves hi to Tina.

 

I noticed.

 

You must have seen the Champs game.

 

Please note that game is wildly not indicative of my usual persona or content level.

 

There's a way you can view the posts in their coded form instead of the quote windows. Just MQ all the ones you want then click the "More Reply Options" next to the Post button and it will take you to a little editing screen. Once there you can open all the quotes and then over the box that you type in you'll see an icon that looks a little like a light switch. Click that and it'll change them from bubbles to actual coding similar to 2+2

 

Also, you're welcome.

That is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much.

 

 

Look at me failing with format as I'm trying to give advice on format.

 

giggle

 

Sooh even though you gave a reasom for your voting...i dont like it...

 

I didn't get a reaction one way or the other. The reaction here seems forced but I've never played with Sooh before.

 

I think soohs votes are indicative of her mood or meta. For me i dont see a reason to like or not to like them.

*nods

 

Man Mother's Day is taking too long.  I wanna be in another champs game because I want to experience that 30 pages an hour rush it had at peak times.

I am glad it is done. I can't do that level of activity anymore. I made my statement and I'm done.

 

Knees still weak.

 

This vote doesn´t look good. You are voting the person that has been talked about lately but not stating a real reason.

 

+1

 

This reminds me, you said the same line in a recent game I saw you in, but I forget which. You said you would scum read the next person who posted.

 

So now I'm curious if you did that to imitate your town game or if you did it out of habit.

That was likely a turbo. I don't believe in random voting and such a post is essentially random voting.

 

If I did it in a turbo it was likely a joke.

 

Even on day one I believe in having a reason. I think you can avoid a lot of bad votes that way.

For the first 7 or 8 pages she hung around talking about her name while there was real work going on, and on page 8 she suddenly feels like my discussion with eldrick is weird, but not scummy (even though I think I explained it pretty well). She suspects Sooh only because of vote jumping early day 1. And Seph is weird but is within meta.

 

Seems like a classic hedge, as she spots some surface details. It's an easy post for scum to make.

Seph,

 

I would like to know what you found scummy about EP's first post. Was it the phrasing, context, or what? I won't be satisfied with 'it was his tone' because that doesn't tell me anything.

[Darthe]

 

What is AIDs again?

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.

 

I thought you had like a college degree and stuff?

 

I have friends who try very hard to acquire it.

 

As a mafia term?

Gotcha.

 

To be fair I didn't think much of the post as, like you've already pointed out, it struck me as just a cursory comment on things happening currently (which weren't much).

 

One point of hers I did like was when she commented towards EP about not waiting until the dead line became official to start playing. Also generally she seems kinda loose to me. I've never played with her before but the name game banter felt pretty natural imo

I don't doubt that.

 

Now stop talking to me before you accidentally spew me as a villager and get me killed

phrasing. I found the post to be arrogant, when he explained it above it did make more sense to me though.

The first post made me suspicious and the other two seems like he is just trying to blend.

numbered his points for easy response.

 

1: I didn't say anyone should do anything. I just made a decision to wait until the game was official underway. However your reach at trying to throw suspicion on me changed that decision.

2 Please sir tell me again how you reread the thread looking, because I don't think you tried very hard.

 

 

Now that you're around again, I'm calling you AJ. You're who I'm used to referring to with that. AndreJ gets to be AndreJ.

Thanks for backing me up!

 

for the record I'm waiting til everyone actually checks in before I get serious (or the check in deadline ends)

Same but it doesn't me we have to only spam until then.

 

"I so knew you were gonna ssk me that again"

 

-except I'm wondering how you knew I would ask of course.

A. You're becoming predictable (yikes)

B. You know he's town already because you're scum

 

font adjusted to be seen.

 

3 I FoS'd you for your stretch of a case being poorly thrown together because many other people were just milling around waiting as well. I now have a new reason since I missed the AlannaLynn Seph buddy buddy times when it was also her that was the other to admit to waiting. So I'd like to thank you for inadvertently outing your teammate as well.

 

I'd say mafia is Seph and AlannaLynn so far.

Vote Seph

I see the point in lying about the claim there, but in generally I don't see this helping this town imo.

You should have read my game. 30 pages per hour was low level European time posting rate...

On a soccer forum I post on, though I don't post enough anymore. I'm a better narrator than player, I'm afraid.

 

And that's not encouraging...

[Yates]

so basically u are gonna head out to the shed to tinker with the car that doesnt need it and drink beer??

1. Went grocery shopping

2. Picked up fresh cut flowers from a farm stand

3. Made crepes with a "cheese cake filling" [just ricotta cheese and instant vanilla pudding - SO good!] and fresh strawberries

4. Made fresh squeezed lemonade

5. Made a key lime pie for dinner dessert [needs to cool]

6. Cleaned the kitchen

7. Changed baby's diaper and outfit

8. Served breakfast in bed

 

Then started my day...

[Askthepizzaguy]

I see the point in lying about the claim there, but in generally I don't see this helping this town imo.

Generating reactions to later determine motive, helps "stir the pot" and get the discussion moving in a direction of solve.
