Mafia: Basic - Page 21

Right they are lynching him because he could be a mafiate hiding and if he isn't its generally the safest course of action right now. Lesser of two evils and all that.

No, they (and me, since I have to go to work now and don't have more time to think on it) are lynching him because he is dangerous. Why is he dangerous? Easily swayed. He voted for someone TWICE, than switched to vote for the person who his accuser was voting for.

His actions are erratic at best. He isn't helping the town. And he could be mafiate/sk.

People. Every townie you lynch is one less Day you have to kill the Mafia off. You all agree that I'm most likely a townie (which I am). Yet you continue to vote for me.

Seriously, people. I'll stop voting if you don't want me to vote. But there's no need to lynch me just because I suck at picking who to vote. I'm erratic because I don't even trust my own voting.

Sithdarth · 06-03-2006, 07:00 PM

One question if you weren't in anyway sure of who to vote for why did you bother voting? There isn't some rule somewhere that says you have to vote as soon as possible.

Also, just letting you go by without ever having to vote and without us questioning the reason for you not to vote is a bad idea. It'd be a great way for you as a mafiate to get rid of the attention on you now and avoid any further attention. You'd have a pass to say, "Well all you guys agreed that I shouldn't do anything so I must be innocent." That would actually make you more dangerous without the PO investigating you and telling us your role. That of course would expose the PO, detective in this game, and its just not worth it. The reporter is an option but I'm still not sure if Newb reasigned the role or not he hasn't really said anything clear on the subject.

Combining these two posts, I think Newb is going to reassign them during Night, but there is a possibility of no one getting the role.

Well damn I didn't read that first post carefully enough. Thanks for pointing that out.

P-Sleazy · 06-04-2006, 02:19 AM

Seriously Newb...this may be good to post up an updated vote count and a deadline that isnt "hey, more votes for this guy. He's dead. night starts." That would be great wouldn't it? Letting us lynch catlover without knowing the deadline. he has 6 votes on him(wihtin past 40 posts), I thiink I have 5 on me (If I remember correctly), theres also one vote for mesden (from me...still).

Thats all the votes I can remember guys. I'll check the thread thoroughly and expect full vote count within minutes. Nice job Newb. you got me doing your job for you

EDIT! GHASP!

Here be the vote count as is.

Crazyben
Secretskull

B_Real_Shadows <- Thats me btw
CMP
Mesden
Crazyben
Catlover
Major Blood

Catlover
H4x.M4g3
Thundergod Cid
Silly Kitty
Fenris Wolf
Darth Mauler 64
The Wandering God

Mesden
B_Real_Shadows (GHASP! I'm still voting for her!)

No Lynch
Supreme Edgemaster

The votes for each person are placed in chronological order meaning the higher you are on the list of voting for something, the sooner you voted before other people meaning, in the case of Catlover's votes, Silly Kitty posted before all the people below her, but after the 2 above her.

Hope this helps and is...more legible than Newbs.

First and foremost, I apologize about my extreme laziness as far as this game is concerned. I can�t really say that I haven�t posted because some real life things have gotten in the way, I�m just a lazy bastard. Plus, I always get the feeling that I don�t really need to say anything because somebody may say it in my stead. And if no one else does, then it was too crazy to matter anyway.

On with actually getting something done! Vote: Catlover

Reasons have been previously stated, for the most part. I don�t really agree that he�s a threat as a sporadic voter, but he definitely could be using it as a cover. From my memory, Catlover is kind of a vet at this game. He isn�t necessarily awesome at the game, but he�s been in one or two of them. As such, he should know that if you don�t provide complete evidence for your actions if they�re as random as his have been, then you are under the threat of being lynched. However, if my memory serves, the people with the random votes have just been confused vanilla townies. Therefore, he would expect somebody to use that as cover to defend him. This cover could be in the form of a concerned townie, or possibly a mafiate if he is in the mafia.

Now, another part of this game that seems to be� useful but unused are clues. I asked Newb about them, and he said, in this thread, that he may or may not put clues in. Therefore, I took a minute of my time to come up with some farfetched theories that I don�t consider to be gospel, just food for thought. If anything, this should be amusing rather than actually helpful. As far as actually trying to dig up random clues goes, I looked at the mafia killing scene.

In this scene, there is not a whole lot that goes on. The only significant part in this scene is the five bullets. Now, this either means that one mafiate shot the guy five times or all five of the mafia shot him once. Symbolically, the idea of all five mafia shooting one guy shows equality. None of the mafia is better than the others, no single veteran hit man is sent for the kill. In game, this could either mean that all of the mafia are newbies or they are all vets. However, that�s going into very abstract concepts that are probably nothing.

Another such symbolism is relating the number five to peoples names. This would not be unlike in the first mafia where Incendius said he would take a stab at the game, and the first victim was knifed. The only person who I saw had relation to the number five was Catlover, who has five numbers in his name. Again, this is so obscure it�s probably untrue.

Before someone lynches me for such random ideas or for possibly knowing too much, keep in mind that when I thought of this I was bored. Not bored enough to post in this thread, but bored. So if you don�t take it as crazy talk, just take it as some mildly amusing idea that has no relation to the game.

Deadline is monday noon est.

if it is tied at that point, the deadline will be extended by six hours

Ogianres · 06-04-2006, 08:31 PM

Although I fear I may be joining a scum bandwagon, but I fear more that we could miss scum if we choose not to vote, so VOTE: Catlover.
