Anyone else have a dad in the military?

Speaking of military, why are bows so accurate?

Bows? Pfft. Who needs them? Too dangerous for my liking.


Agreed, though you must admit, it is peculiar how a projectile could be easier to land a hit with from a distance than swinging a sword about in someone's face. Funny how the world works, sometimes.

Very true. Just one of the mysteries of the Universe I suppose.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Oh dear, just checked the rules again, apparently bold is intended for votes. My bad, those weren't actual lynch votes, just accusations.

Lemme show you something

The red stands for accusations, the green stands for defending.

Can you guess who the mafia is here based on this picture? This is from a single day of posting during a game.


Looks like the ones making the most accusations are mafia. After all if you are guilty and no one knows it the best thing to do is put the focus on everyone and anyone possible that's not you. Also if you are constantly questioning others you arn't answering any questions yourself. Less opportunity to slip. Also thanks for taking the time to at least clear that up.

About the "reading compreshions" I understand now why you found it suspect and it's my own fault bcause I used bad english. I can see how "them" could be a slip. But isn't it a bit early in game for that? I'm under thei impression that PMing anyone about the game that's not WoW at any time is against the rules and would get ya insta killed. I wasn't sure before and still not but assumed that speaking day or night counted as an action. It makes logical sense to me because how could you be in town hall speaking to everyone while at the same time rummaging someone's trash to see if they have any mob connections. Which is why I don't know but I think a lot of the people who are quiet now are probably quiet because they are busy preforming a day action of some sort. Still don't really know which is why I asked, but it was that logic and uncertainty that made me think that maybe mob meetings were a night only action which is why I asked about that. Thankfully tho it made things a little more clear when WoW came in and said mafia can only talk at night. It hasn't been night yet so I can understand why you could see Them as a slip but I don't know if it's too early for that kind of slip or not. I have no idea if mafia knows who each other are yet and I assume they havn't had a chance to talk yet.

I don't understand how you can deduce someone knows something from someone who's obviously never played before asking basic questions. I can understand how you could suspect someone that slips and says they know something they obviously shouldn't. However going after someone that's expressed nothing but ignorance and has been wrong just seems like scapegoating and grasping at straws.

If ya want to know what I know its simple. It's pretty much nothing. I know the rules and the basic design of the game. I know whats on the sign up page but I've misunderstood and made some bad assumptions about that info. Which is something I need to fix by PMing WoW more. I've only PM'd WoW a few times and he was kind enough to again go over the basics of the game. How it's a small group with knowledge vs. a larger group that's in the dark. WoW also mentioned that sometimes there could be a 3rd or 4th faction but neither confirmed or denied that any were present. I also asked about and learned some Fire Emblem lore I didn't know about because I never was able to play the game like what a Pegaus Knight is. That's pretty much it. I would be glad to share the PM's with you after the game ends.

I disagree answering my questions would help you find mafia, unless you are mafia then you'd probably want to keep me as ignorant as possible. The more I know the better I can help find mafia. It's not about pressure or alleviating it. It's about knowing what's going on and not having the town lose because of a misunderstanding. Now you can assume everyone is guilty until proven innocent and keep everyone edgy and defensive with empty accusations. Or we can all work together and assume everyone is innocent until proven guilty. That way people relax and let their guard down and increase the chance they will have a substantial and meaningful slip if they are mafia. However I don't know which would be a better way to go. In your experiance what do you find is usually best?

Bows arn't dangerous. People with bows are dangerous. Unless it's a little girl and the bow in thier hair.

What? I really really really love bows. If I could I would live in the 1600's and go to military there.

...*snip* And then says Words confirms it. Words is the only one that made a post specifically about how a mafia might know another mafia...yet doesn't actually confirm anything...just like a good mod should. ALl he says is that scum USUALLY know.

Just an fyi, I read WoW's "usually" the same as Nicklesbe did, not the way you did.
Not sure about the "them" bit. You may have a point here.

Is it the tone? Are there not enough question marks? I get it you two obviously have a lot of experience.What I don't understand is if you guys were fellow townies why wouldn't you answer my questions and help me better understand why my understanding and assumptions have been wrong? Wouldn't that help the town? Instead ya both construe my inquiries treating them like factual statements and acting like apex predators going after a weak gazel. I find that incredibly suspicious.

 I was about to condemn prof for withholding info as well, but it might have actually lead to some slips. I'm refering to this post again. However, I like your response to him here. FOS removed from Nick.

I find it unlikely that you are familiar with behaviors like mafia pushing to post to avoid suspicion, yet being oblivious to mafia's ability to talk during the day.

I haven't played that many games; I have never played as mafia, ever.

padib said:

I agree with this. Nowhere in the sign-up thread was it mentioned that mafia can only talk at night.

I re-read his post, and it seems to check out, he might have actually been asking/making sure; see question mark. I don't really agree with your points 1 + 2 here either.



@Everyone else:


Wright said:

So. What's up?

lol

HylianSwordsman said:

So the quick topic is for games without day talk, what is for games with day talk? *(1) Do they just still use the quick topic or do they just use PMs? *(2) Also, everyone keeps using the term scum. Is that part of the Fire Emblem theme, or is scum the name of a mafia faction, or is that just what they call mafia members? I thought they were just called mafia.*(3)

@1,2: It's up to the mod. Usually they have their own secret forum somewhere, where they can talk together an connive. PMs are usually not allowed.
@3: We sometimes call them scum, as well as mafia.

HylianSwordsman said:

What exactly is a "town tell"? I suppose he's suspicious though, so FOS for nicklesbe then.

But whatever, I'm sick of your semantics, I'm sick of your overanalysis, and I'm sick of your over eagerness to lynch someone. It's not only the first day, but it's barely been a day of real time and you've already accused enough people I'm losing track. You clearly have something to hide. Hand of suspicion to the prof00. Your behavior is simply too agressive. You're either a mafia trying to lead the lynch mob or you're a trigger happy fool with a silver tongue. Either way, I'm thinking the town might be better off without you.

A "tell" is like a clue or hint regarding someone's faction/allegiance. For example, according to padib, acting like a victim might hint that the person is scum. I don't necessarily agree.

 @Second paragraph: No one is lynching anyone just yet. I like prof's style; it gets reactions, and possible slips.



Tis' is a shame. No one of you in interested in the arts of music and dance. The Goddess of Love wouldn't be proud of you.



Tagging this thread for possible replacement along the way.
