Newbie Mafia 7 - The game - TOWN wins

[ML]

*wakes up*

Thanks Doc!
So we all just pick someone huh?

My coin flip method gives me Vote: Xer0x.

*buys a hotdog*
*finds a nice shady spot to eat it*

[Beartalon]

*Takes Soothsayer/Dark surrogate's offer and munches quietly, trying to decide.*

Whomever the Doctor is, he or she might have saved me. Whomever the cop is knows at the status of at least one person. There are 5 more people to vote (for the first time), and remaining 7 have offered 6 different people, one of which is me. Man, Duphrates is grumpy in the morning. I'll have someone else poke him next time.

*stops trying to make it logical already*

Hey, TANSTAAFL, I just had a free lunch!

Sorry about the double post. I didn't see page 2, didn't think that it took.

[Beartalon]

Does the person lynched have to gain a clear majority?

[Dragon Phoenix]

A clear majority - at the moment 7 votes - guarantees a lynch. If the game starts dragging, I will set a deadline. Once the deadline is reached, 50% of the clear majority is required for a lynch. At present that would be 4 votes. If the front-runner has less than 4, no lynch. If there are 2 or 3 players at 4 votes, I will lynch the one who got there first. In the endgame (6 or less) there will only be a lynch by majority, even at the deadline.

[Termital]

Well, I have a tendency to vote for overlong names till I get a better idea, so vote: A Fire inside

[Werebear]

FREEEEEE HOT DOGS!!!! 'Talon, slide a few of those over here. Heck, grab the cart and let's run.

Oh, by the way, if you get an ISE, which mafia games seem to get plenty of, press the "back" button of the browser, leave the message EXACTLY the same, and click "Submit Reply" again. The messageboard recognizes duplicate posts and gets rid of one.

[TANSTAAFL]

Sorry for taking so long to show up. I left work yesterday right before the game was updated. As you'll all soon see, I am not often online at home.

Anyways, I'll vote: A fire inside

Beartalon: You did NOT have a free lunch. At some point in time you will be expected to do someting for Sooth to pay for the lunch he provided you with now. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH!

[TANSTAAFL]

...oops... i just wrote my own name wrong...

THERE AIN'T NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH!

[Soothsayer]

there is such a thing as a free lunch and it can beyours if you want it... with onions and relish


mmmmmm relish

[Dragon Phoenix]

[Duphrates]

Why have you wrote

7 to lynch

and

marker?

[Dragon Phoenix]

see post 45 for the "7 to lynch" part. It is a reminder to all (including me) how close we are to a lynch.

I add the marker to facilitate finding the vote count back when I want to do an update.

[Beartalon]

Ok, am I going to go with the majority just to conform or am I going to be suspicious and wonder? Ah hell...

*waits for the bar to open up*

[Beartalon]

Duphrates - 7 to lynch means a person needs that many votes against him/her to be lynched. Marker lets us know the current vote standing without having to wade back through the posts trying to figure it out.

[Beartalon]

And I think I'll shut-up and let the moderator explain such things...

[Faeriefire]

Did you say onions and relish? Hand one of those over!

[Beartalon]

*Rents the GodFather trilogy on DVD from Tintoretto's video store, just for ambiance*

[A Fire Inside]

Sorry I haven't posted. The network in the school has been down and I didn't have internet access, so I'm speaking up now.

Vote- Faeriefire for starting the bandwagon.

And now the game is Fire vs. Fire, folks. With a simple OMGUS vote, this conflagration is really heating up! The pressure cooker's on! Please stay tuned, we'll have more coverage of the Mafia vs. Town game momentarily, after this word from our sponsor, Acme Noose Company.

[Peekay]

So I've been able to get what FOS is from other mafia threads (finger of suspicion, but what is OMGUS anyway?

[Peekay]

Since I can't edit, here is the missing parenthese from my above post: )

[Dragon Phoenix]

Oh My God yoU Suck....

[MadMax]

You Missed my vote Taflinel No good reason so I can be convinced otherwise.

[Sparticus]

I'm hungry. May I have that free lunch, Sooth?

shouts more support for Townies

I am still Sparticus, no matter what you say.

[Termital]

Well, newbie was defined as having at most one Mafia game under your belt, so I qualified. And it was fun, but ultimately very painful. (Just check out the stupidity me and amb got engaged in Mossflower.)
I'll also cop to reading another Mafia game. So let's just say I knew the use but not the exact meaning of the OMGUS, and so on..

*blushes from all the Sparticus encouragement, then wanders off to other fields..*

[Beartalon]

MadMax, there is no "Taflinel" in this game, and you only said you were thinking of TANSTAAFL in your earliest post.

That's a long sig, Sparticus.

[xer0x]

*jumps on bandwagon* unvote: Termital, vote: A Fire Inside

We need to get going.

The infliction of cruelty with a good conscience is a delight to moralists. That is why they invented Hell.

[Soothsayer]

Now that there is sufficient demand for hot dogs and in order to keep you all happy I am going to have to charge a mere $1 per dog just so that I can break even.

Meanwhile I like the prospect of fire fighting fire - whereas I do not like a mindless bandwagon nor the need to explain your role on the first day it does seem apparent that the two fiery characters explain their innocence.

unvote:ML - until I start hearing arguments from the fire crew

[Beartalon]

*tosses Soothsayer a $5 and takes 5 hotdogs. It's going to be a long day.*

What - no defence of innocence from the two with higher vote counts? Then again, how can they show their innocence since we have no background to base it on?

[Duphrates]

Excuse me, am I missing something, but why the two highest votes, from my reckoning Fraeriefire has one vote, the same as five others (termital,Dark/Sooth,Peekay, ML, Xer0x).

*Goes to the bar again till something happens*

[Duphrates]

[Edit]Four not five, ML was unvoted[/Edit]

[xer0x]

Well, that's the idea -- vote for them and make them show their innocence. If they don't, or can't, or do something dodgy, we assume they're scum and hang 'em.

Right?

(Sorry if it's crappy -- we're all mafia first-timers -- I am anyway)

[Beartalon]

Bah! Soemone changed their vote - so now there is one in the lead, but not with 7 yet.

[Beartalon]

I'm just impatient, xer0x

[Dragon Phoenix]
