Forums - General Discussion - Mafia Round 14 - Game Thread

Hello everyone, Here is one observation I found that was a little interesting.

I hate bringing up past games but it can give a little insight into peoples normal habits. Of the few games I have played with WoW, she has always suggested no lynch for the first day. Since it almost always gives the town an extra day to lynch an anti-town member when you have more information available to you. She has even provided a table to prove it, and that reasoning is completely sound, as it does work in the towns favor.

So why is she pushing to have a forced lynch on the first day? Why force a blind lynch with little to no information and hoping that someone will slip up on a day one. One thing that never really happens.

Not to mention that I am always a little suspicious of people who try and take control of the game early on, which is another thing she is trying to do.

FoS: WoW

Hmmm... I'm being suspected for trying to NOT lurk and voting the most suspicious person in the thread thus far aside from myself.

This is cool.

There's no need to be so defensive. People are just going on what little there is to discuss so far. Do you think we should lynch someone today or vote no lynch?


He's not being so defensive...is he supposed to give some weak defence if people are suspecting him?

Fos: trangentspree

He was defending himself, and while there is nothing wrong with that I don't see why anyone should complain about being targetted for suspicion so early in the game when there is so little to go on.

Which leads me to asking you why have you FoS me?


For saying "There's no need to be so defensive". What do you expect him to do if he's being suspected?

@bolded: You're contradicting yourself there aren't you? My suspision has risen quite a bit.

I don't see the contradiction there. He was being defensive because he was complaining about being singled out - I wasn't even casting suspicion at him when I said that, I was just trying to get him to post something more useful for discussion.

I do seem to have provoked quite a large reaction from you in doing so, however.

So you wanted him to start a "useful" discussion instead of him defending himself? I belive a useful discussion started a while back.

@Bolded: Good for you. It might/may have started a "useful" discussion.

Things have been dead here all day. You have chosen to omit the fact that I asked him a question.

I still don't understand why you're so quick to point the finger at me.


Since I've been here, things have been quite lively.

And if you don't understand why I Fosed you, thats your problem. Perhaps you should read the posts again, the reasoning is definitely in there.

@bolded: I agree with that much anyway.

So do you think we should lynch someone today? Who would you suggest?

Trying to change the subject?

Have you figured out why I Fosed you?

And to answer your question, I'm not sure who should be lynched atm.

You could be trying to protect DGC, or you might be just ready to jump on anyone.

I'll be keeping both of these things in mind.

More like trying to change it BACK.  
And this isn't "implied meaning detection 101", so why not just spell it out for the dumbos, who may or may not include the person you're talking to?

If I was ready to jump on anyone, I would have jumped on...many people...but I didn't so your argument fails there.

Protecting Dgc after I suspected him...no.

@vetteman: Interesting. I wonder why he wants a lynch in this particular game. Good analysis.

Why, specifically, did you FoS trangent?  I was starting to look at him a little funny myself, but didn't have enough to FoS and certainly not anything specific enough to play "20 Questions" with.

I don't think I was being very defensive... Just wanted to point out the reasons to look at me were a bit "weak".

And damnit, I leave for what? 30 mins!! I come back and now I have a bible to read T_T

This is excellent, exactly the sort of thing I was wondering about but couldn't remember.  I second this.

Ok, I've caught up with the thread.

WoW - WoW's being WoW. I've seen WoW post in this manner when Pro or Anti-town. However, she does seem to be more aggressive this time around but I could say the same for a few others. I hope if the appropriate role is out there that they know what to do when there's a player that's very good at driving the game.

Sabby - I've seen Sabby post in this manner b4 but never this early on in the game. However, with everyone being encouraged to converse early on this time around, it seems understandable... Uhh... that's pretty much it for what I have on Sabby.
