ok, the mafia members have been emailed... everyone check to see if you are mafia... then i will be waiting for the mafia's first kill.

[mithrandir]

would everyone check the email in their profile and make sure it is correct? i've already had a few problems with wrong emails, and i want to make sure that the mafia know who they are.

[The Master]

Did anyone read the message that I just deleted?

[Chuck]

No, please post them again.

[The Master]

No. I can't. In that last post I might have given away if I was a townsfolk or mafia.

[mithrandir]

ok, due to problems with email, i have repicked the mafia(randomly again)... so go check your email, the subject will be mafia2 just so there isn't any confusion.

[The Master]

now that we have started a new game, i can tell you that my deleted post gave away that i was a townsfolk.

[Sofis]

I can't see the logic of trying too keep that hidden.

[The Master]

I still wasn't sure how to play and wasn't sure if you could tell if you were a townsperson or if you had to keep your identity secret even if you are a townsperson.

[The Master]

Why don't the townspeople just go around saying that they are actually a townsperson. When it comes to a mafia, the wont answer, pointiing to them. Is that allowed?

[Chuck]

What if The Mafia lies?

[mithrandir]

evryone is allowed to say whatever they want, so don't believe anyone...

[mithrandir]

Trying to dig up some clues about the mysterious mafia, mole was sneaking around, when suddenly he was hit over the head...

As he regained consciousness, he saw that his feet were encased in cement. He saw the mafia preparing to throw him in and screamed, "Help!! Help!! I know who the mafia is!! It's..."

*splash*

mole is now sleeping with the fishes.

[mithrandir]

*this is the part of the game where the townsfolk discuss who they think the mafia is... *

[Sofis]

We're all afraid posting first will seem suspicious .

Poor mole.

[Chuck]

Hey, Sofis, that's my line.

[This message has been edited by Chuck (edited 08-20-2000).]

[Chuck]

Since Courk and I were the first 2 off GL Survivor Island, I think we should be spared for this round. It's only fair.

[Courk]

I agree with Chuck!

[Yellow Jacket]

So do I.

[Gibbon]

Me too.

[Galapagos Penguin]

I agree.

[Falcon]

I think Chuck's right.

[Kea]

So do I.

[Internet Stranger]

Can anyone come up with any strategy on how to get rid of those pesky mafia people?

As it looks we will just randomly guess someone and lynch them. Even if they scream, plead and beg us not to. They will probably claim to not be mafia, but hey, someone has to die.

Mith, does everyone get mailed or just the mafia? So if someone doesnt get an email they just townsfolk right?

[Chuck]

What if we can't bring ourselve to kill anyone?

[Internet Stranger]

We could just start with the most vocal person. I say the first person to have a cheerleading squad of unregistered posters gets it.

"I didn't know she was your sister I swear!"

[Chuck]

In a face to face game we could look each other in the eyes and ask 'Are you in the Mafia?', and kill whoever giggles. I don't know what to do now.

[Sofis]

Flip a coin?

...

I'm shocked at the callous way I just threw that out there. It is surely a sign of the decline of morality in society.
And besides, it wouldn't work very well.

[The Master]

Ten, unless you were going to include yourself .

We need to start suggesting people, so I suggest Quail. It's nothing personal, I just picked a random #, 7, and suggested him. (The first # I picked was 5.) If they were chosen randomly, then don't I have a pretty good chance of being right?

[Chuck]

Let's deduce this rationally.

Who would kill mole? Why would someone dislike mole?

Moles ruin gardens. Who would like gardens?

A quail might live in a garden.

So it's Quailman! QUAILMAN IS A MAFIA MEMBER! KILL HIM, KILL HIM, KILL HIM!!!

[mithrandir]

ok, we have a couple quailman nominations... anyone else?

as for figuring out who done it, yes it's going to be harder than if this was face to face, but it's possible that the mafia will do something that will make them seem suspicious... of course, the goal of the mafia is to try to blend in and not get caught.

[Courk]

mith: can you re-post the rules? I keep going back to Off-Topic to check them.

[mithrandir]

all the rules you need are at the top of this thread, but if you have a specific question about something, ask and i'll answer it, and pu tit up at the top.

[Internet Stranger]

Quail is mafia!!

We must rid ourselves of this evil that has plagued our land!

We must do it for the memory of mole...

We must do it for the children! (this line always works)

I vote for Quail!

[Sofis]

Uh...I think we're supposed to do the vote thing anonymously.

Kill the quail!

I really am a person that is playing. Just doing the anonymity thang!
