Forgotten Realms Mafia! - Page 6

After spending an entire game desperately trying to curtail suspicions from a day one joke I'm a bit torn on the subject.

On the one hand me and Al were playing as if we were a semi mafia. Technically speaking, both of our jokes really were somehow tells that the town should have pursued.

On the other hand though, I still don't really understand the logic behind the pursuit we'd gotten on that. Moreso in Kerensky's case as there's such a strong bandwagon forming over essentially nothing.

Could either of you elaborate on whether there's anything else you're interested in, or is this just a case of having nothing better to do?

It can be pretty easy to get carried away in the joke atmosphere, hence why Im waiting for something a bit more solid.

Yeah voting for someone based on joke posts made in the joke posting period is pretty poor reasoning to start bandwagoning.

You should all feel bad about that.

Gotta agree with Karesh, here. I mean, Sif's reasoning seems to be entirely without basis (as per usual, then, wakka wakka), and as for IHMN's vote... I dunno. I guess goofing off and trying to get ignored that way is a valid scum tactic, but given that it's day 1 and everyone's being pretty silly, I don't think a vote is justified yet.

When people did pursue it, you were like, "JOKE". Then I felt bad for making you angry and left you alone. A joke roleclaim to mafia and a mass string of joke votes...the first has got me more concerned. No sane townie would do this. However, Kerensky doesn't seem sane? Also, it's D1, logic isn't most applicable here is it?

There isn't really bandwagon on Kerensky. Two people voted for him, and though you can't really know this, I had planned to vote for him before Sif had. Hardly a bandwagon.

I think Kerensky tried to hard with his jokes. I find scum are more likely to be the ones to joke the most on Day 1. I also now suspect everyone who is saying there is a bandwagon on Kerensky if he ever comes up as scum.

How are you still lying about what I said.
How.

HOW.
There's not even a reason to anymore!

I think he's talking about Kerensky's roleclaim to mafia.

Incidentally, FoS: IHMN.

I find his attempts to get someone lynched on day 1 highly suspect!

Ah Day 1.

Everybody making joke posts? Check.

Somebody already being percieved as "suspicious" over essentially nothing? Check

People bandwagoning on that person? Check.

Others claiming that that bandwagon isn't a bandwagon? Check.

Sounds like an avarage Day 1 so far. All we need now is somebody to claim that the people who haven't posted yet are somehow suspicious, and somebody else claiming that anybody making posts too much is equally suspicious and we'll be on our way!

GETTING BORED.

DEADLINE SATURDAY AT SOME POINT PROBABLY.
