Mafia: Goodfella's Edition

[Inbred Chocobo]

"Hands out candy." Now everyone place nice. And if I see any pushing I am going to take your candy away from you.
Bloody A key...
Anyways if you click here, you can see why exactly you should not vote for me Roy_Da_(insert what else is suppose to go here).

Okay in all seriousness, I've been looking at the thread, and I am going to make an accusation.

Vote: Ryanderman

I bet this baffles you don't it? Well in fairness, look at his posts, he seemed in a hurry to start voting for Fenris didn't he, even though I just finished. I believe the reason he did this was to get a bandwagon rolling. You also notice that his posts are poorly worded, which shows signs of rushing to this, which means he wanted the votes to pile up before people could sit back and think about it. So I think he was trying to get people to vote for Fenris because he is mafia. (Not great is it, but what else we got?)

I'm onto everyone! It's, my, er, plan! Yeah!

IC, that sounds somewhat reasonable, but I truly dislike your sway of votes, so, well, still voting for you and all.

I just can't let it happen EVERY game, you know? That ticket's run out. To me, it seems, you're picking someone out from reactions to your posts that seems like an easy target.

This is how it looks to me.

Well, now I see no reason for IC to not be silly, 'cause the one time he trys to be serious, he gets shot down. :p

(PLEASE NOTE THE SMILEY. IT DENOTES A JOKE.)

I personally agree with IC, but everybody would go "Oh, Fen's trying to get revenge! KILL!" if I were to vote without my standard "Let the guy respond to an accusation before trying to lynch somebody. Even though I change my play style, I'm a fan of playing fair.

[Roy_D_Mylote]

Aha! I should not vote for IC because of NOTHING! This leaves me only one option:

To not vote yet.

Eh, being stuck with a target can make it look like you have something again someone, being flexible allows you to go for who seems best. Either way there is a bad interpretation, but I choose flexible, so that is what I do. Besides, its hard being funny when you are voting for the same person all the time.

Actually, I never wanted to vote for Fenris, nor did I particularly suspect him more than anyone else. I just thought Elbodo had a good point in questioning why Fenris brought up a previous thread, and wanted to get an answer from him for that. If you look at my first post on the matter:

He could just be saying that he's helpful to other players in general, and thus it has no bearing on whether or not he's mafia, but an explanation from him would be good.

I actually thought what he said was probably innocent, but wanted to hear it from him. It just escalated when he misunderstood me, and I him.

My posts have been poorly worded, yes, which was most of the cause of misunderstanding which led to the arguement, but that had nothing to do with the game. I made those posts at work today, when I had bits of free time. I didn't have much time to word the posts as clearly as I should have to get my point across, I'm sorry.

Fenris: I am, for the moment, satisfied with your defense.

Which leaves me fresh out of leads. Time to go re-read the thread.

EDIT: ('cause nobody's posted here since the last time I did)

Having re-examined the thread I find that these two posts now stand out in my mind:

Originally posted by Ecurt:
I have one thing to say to those voting for me:

Come up with a better reason than an avatar I wasn't using anymore and a title I changed along with the avatar.

Really, that's all I ask. If you can though, make it an awesome reason.

Like: "Ecurt is my master and he's telling me to vote for him so that he doesn't look suspicious. Oh wait, you didn't hear that!"

Because that would totally rock. Even though it would be completely untrue.

Completely.

Should we interpret this to mean: "Go ahead and vote for me because it really doesn't bother me. I have nothing to hide. I'm secure in my town-hood. Really. See -- I can even say something that might look scummy but then call it a joke because I'm just that innocent!"

And then this, pressing the issue:

Originally posted by Ecurt:
No, Ogianres, I want to make it a contest.

"Who can come up with the best reason to vote for Ecurt?"

I can think of one already: He's a damn hypocrite.

The winner has bragging rights.

And then this:

Originally posted by Inbred Chocobo:
We must vote for Ecurt, he has made the contest for a reason, so that no one really cares to vote for him. He is trying a version of reverse physcology in an attempt to keep us from voting for him.

And I think that once in a while, when the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow and the grass doth grow there comes wisdom from out of the mouth of a serial voting madman.

I put all this together, adding in the fact that out of 5 posts in this thread not one has been particularly substantive. The one that comes closest was this:

Originally posted by Ecurt:
Vote: Ogianres

For being one avatar and title too late to make that joke.

Which was, I suspect, merely intended as part of the Day 1 random voting phase.

And so I feel I must, at the very least, FOS: Ecurt until he sees fit to explain himself.
