Mafia: Basic

[CallmePrismatic]

I'm not the reporter. I...have/had a role though.

From what I understood of the personality description, I was a new apprentice to the area and could pick a role to 'learn'. The gist of it was that I needed 3 Nights to get my technique down and then I'd be the new [insert role]. I chose to apprentice the Doctor...and now that he's dead on Night 2, I guess I'm a regular townie (I checked my original PM and can't find a 'If the teacher dies too early'-clause, so I'm going with the standard "You're SOL"-practice).

Which is why I'd like to know why the Mafia went after skelly who didn't do anything out of the ordinary as opposed to me or Mes who were obvious targets. The situation Mes painted about the third, unknown, Mason makes me even more suspicous: Why would skelly only trust Mes with the information? What would make two members of a cabal not share everything with the third? What were the "other things he couldn't tell"?

He's not as available as Skeleton. Which is possibly because he spends his time colaborating with Mafia.

I know how it is to have people not believe your role claim. I am going to take your word on it. Unvote: CMP.

Edit: On second thought I am going to have to FOS: CMP. Why didn't you reveal this role to us sooner when you were almost lynched?

Because I was sure I could beat the vote count; First because it was only TWG and Mes, and then I saw Thundergod Cid's suspicions of Ogianres and ran with that. Mostly it was because I knew that I could probably beat a vote, but if I roleclaimed a helpful townie role I was an obvious mafia target.

Just to note a possibility, this could be a role/trait your lying about. And none of us can disprove or prove it since it turned into a worthless atribute on your part.

Twiddy has 3 posts in this thread.

Now, I'm going to go dig for them.

First.

In which Twiddy votes for Catlover (good thing, however, also the last vote when it was pretty much a given that Catlover would swing. Also, the 5th (me) and 6th (Ogianres) are now both townies. To me, having a mafiate sneak in a vote here only makes them look good if you realize it really doesn't affect anything.) and says a whole lot of hot air.

Second.

In which Twiddy suggests that Mesden is a Mason.

Third.

In which Twiddy votes for Ogianres (a townie I might add) (and FoS's) CmP.

Also, a very intersesting point to me, is that these posts all take place around the time that a lynching has taken place. (Comparitevly speaking.)

Now, I know Twiddy acknowledged he wasn't being very active, but with 2 of his 3 posts containing votes.

What do you guys make of this? (Specifically, Mesden.)

CmP, I'm more suspicious of you than ever. You have voted now for 3 people. Mesden (Joke or no joke, you must acknowledge that you DID vote for her), B_Real, and Ogianres.

Seriously, WTF? Not a good track record at all.

That's why my vote is staying where it is.

EDIT: Aww crap, I just thought of something. Could the mafia have possibly laid it's hands on the gun? Would that even be fair? Newb?

[CallmePrismatic]

I'm not even going to touch on Mes's vote.

B_real and Oggy both acted scummy. IIRC, I made the first vote against both of them (although Mes made the first 'attack' as it were on B_real and I voted first), and then an avalanche of votes followed. I didn't join in the bandgwagon, I made an opening vote and people piled in of their own free will because they shared my opinions. Is it my fault I vote for townies who act scummy? Or am I to blame because I too easily get people on my side?

[The Wandering God]

How's about not voting for the one person who WAS mafia?

You thinking them acting scummy? Yeah, you're dangerous. And who was the last person I thought was dangerous really? (I voted for Ogrianes because I really thought the nosy trait helped them off the Serial Killer.)

Oh yeah, mafiate.

Just because you made your own "opinion" doesn't make it any less wrong.

Yeah, but I get the feeling he's not. Wether or not he was shadowing (learning how to be) the Doc, we may never know, unless newb says he manages to learn it independently or something. But really why would he make up a useless trait, when he could have easily just ran with your suspicion of him being the reporter?

On catlover, I...wait a sec, deja vu...

I've been in a lot of games, as has been said over and over, and people who vote randomly aren't that rare. It's the button mashing-equivalent for forum mafia, something that a newcomer can do easily even though he/she may not realize how much it annoys the more experienced. In my experience, 4 out of 5 times a person who vote-mashes is just a newbie townie who wants to contribute but doesn't realize how bad it makes him look. This happened to be the 1 in 5.

So you didn't think Ogianres was dangerous, and you voted for him anyways? Do you think that absolves you of your actions, that you didn't mean it. Or is it because you're a confirmed townie so you feel that you don't have to take responsibility for your actions?

You contributed to the death of a townie as much as I did. Both of us did it unintentionally.

Also, a lesson and corrolarry from NPF Mafia the first: Lynching a mafiate doesn't mean all voters were non-mafiates. Lynching a townie doesn't mean that voters were all non-townies.
