Dilbert Mafia {Boss Mafia - Wins}

[MacadamiamaN]

Hahaha Duphrates you remember that

RSA - I know about these quibbles because of my role. I followed you during the night, I was behind cubicle #43789B, remember? ... That was one high-quality wedgie.

[Vegtable2001]

Logain perhaps you misunderstood me. I was trying to imply i felt it was impossible for fill to be innocent

[Nauplius]

MacadamiaMan are you making a role claim there?

[MacadamiamaN]

I am.

And I guess my vote for veg was biased. Unvote: Veg

still FOS: Rsa

[MacadamiamaN]

I should have stated this earlier, because perhaps I was too vague. I'm a simple "townie" who happens to be able to follow one person at night.

To be specific, I'm Tina the Tech Writer. You see, as a tech writer, it's my job to "make sense of things", and during that night, I made sense of the happenings.

[Beartalon]

A "simple" townie would not have the ability to "make sense of things" like who's being killed, protected or investigated, the things that happen at night if this is a typical mafia game. You've claimed a role but I don't agree with your explanation.

In the strip, Tina the Tech Writer was once given the task of reducing headcount, and she said "Shall I whomp up a strategy while I'm at it?", indicating her willingness She was also very brittle and hated anyone who insulted her trade or the fact that she was a woman. So, she doesn't seem so "simple" to me, if the roles match the characters as portrayed.

My vote for Logain was rather random, so: Unvote: Logain, FOS: MacadamiaN

[Kazooish]

For people wishing to use a reference for the game, probably should have said this earlier, all characters are based on the strips found in

"Seven years of highly defective people"

[Beartalon]

When I bought that book, a friend said "Only 7 years? But I've know you for 12..."

[Ghost Post]

i have no intentions of doing so at the moment, but would posting strips be legal?

[Kazooish]

posting strips will be legal

[cuban smoker]

Bah, I have that book at home (which isn't here, my university home...)

Someone scan the tina strips, and see if that phrase shows up anywhere. If it doesn't, we lynch him!

[Ghost Post]

i think i know the strip. i'll check later.

[MacadamiamaN]

Hahaha... I'm not an avid dilbert reader, I never promised that phrase to you, but I will explain the correlation between a "technical writer" and someoene who spies on people, so to speak.

A technical writer takes "engineer garble and code" and changes it into instruction manuals and such.
You know, they make sense of engineering and stuff for the layperson.

Tina follows people, and "makes sense of" what they are doing, effectively telling what they've done.

[Beartalon]

Those strips are copyright.

[Beartalon]

I still don't like it. What use is that in a Mafia game? Are you going to write "The Mafia Handbook" or "The Townie's Guide To Survival"?

[Kazooish]

Under 48 hours till deadline....

[Werebear]

Vote: Count

[Kazooish]

5 MacadamiaMan (wordcross,Rsa, Duphrates Faeriefire, Sparticus)
2 Vegtable (Logain, Amb)
2 Wordcross (Corsato, Ktulu)
1 Cuban Smoker (nauplius)
1 Werebear (Cuban Smoker)

the current leader is macadamiaman, and come the deadline, if there is no majority, he will die.

so basically youve all condemned him, unless he does some fast talking, or unless someone else is chosen to bandwagon onto.

have fun

[MacadamiamaN]

I don't need to do fast talking - I've told everybody who I am, what I do, and who I applied my job to.
If you don't believe me, then I have no idea what I could do. Any suggestions?

Final vote, based on my findings: Rsa

[Lucresia]

From what I have heard about your role, it doesn't sound right.
Vote: MacadamiamaN

[Vegtable2001]

I don't see whats wrong with mac's role. He sees what people do. Now mac is saying that he saw RSA give somone a wedgie. That would make RSA Bob the Dinosaur. His misasumption is that Bob is evil. Clearly no one died of acute wedgie last night. I suspect that Bob is some sort of pro town role blocker.

------------------
Thats my opinion.... I probably don't care about yours

[Nauplius]

I'm at a little bit of a disadvantage here, not being all that familiar with Dilbert, so I don't know if Mac is telling the truth or not. However it seems that nobody wants to give him the benefit of the doubt on this. He's claiming to be able to find out someones identity at night. That seems pretty useful to me, so why are you all still voting for him? RSA are you willing to vouch for Mac in this? Are you in fact Bob?

fos: everyone still voting MacadamiamaN

[Ghost Post]

unvote:Mac
i'm not bob, but close enough. I'm Dawn.

[cuban smoker]

Interesting. But... Dawn wouldn't be giving wedgies... arooo?

Anyway, don't lynch mac nut. Extend the deadline, please?

Man, I wish I had that silly book. I should be going home soon. Then I'll make sense of all this. Maybe we'll find there are some misguiders amongst us.

unvote: Werebear
vote: Vegetable

[Ghost Post]

I was, in fact, involved in some wedgie giving.

[Kazooish]

deadline extension granted till sunday morning at the earliest...will extend more if we get some decent discussion going.

new deadline
Sunday morning

[Werebear]

We're talking about in the GAME, RSA.

[Ghost Post]

bah, vote:werebear
on second thought,
unvote:werebear
vote:The Critic

[Faeriefire]

Unvote: MacadamianmaN[b]
So that no one else will have to bother looking. The Critic has not posted since confirming. Let's see if we get a response, eh?
[b]Vote: The Critic

[Faeriefire]

oops, I forgot to unbold. Just to make it easier to read,
Unvote: MacadamiamaN
Vote: The Critic

[Beartalon]

Ok. Kazooish: Are you granting an extension because someone asked so someone won't get lynched? (post #103). I hope we all get such benevolent and equal treatment.

On the other side, why would cuban smoker (don't edit your posts!) request that for MacadamiaN? That in itself either speaks of a possible ill-hidden relationship between them. Regular townies wouldn't know each other. Mafia would. I haven't played a game with masons. Would they know each other?

I agree with Lucresia. What I know of the character Tina, yes, I agree that she makes sense of things, and that makes MacadamiaN a cop. Why would the cop expose himself so early? So the doctor (if there is one) will be forced to protect him every night while the mafia and the possible serial killer (Carol) and Phil (darned to heck) pick off/limit people one by one until the cop turns over a mafia. The only way that would make sense is if the cop already found a Mafia and will reveal him/her to us for lynching.

And if he is not the cop... Why would cuban smoker ask to save him?

It just doesn't sit right with me, but I still can't conscientiously vote for him.

So MacadamiaN: Who did you find, and what were they?

[Kazooish]

i granted an extension because theirs finally a decent discussion again, i will only create deadlines when the discussion has died down, as it did for about 2 days, so i put in a deadline to get people talking, and now that they are, the deadline gets extended. The same will go for anyone in this situation.

[Vegtable2001]

From what Mac has said he's not a flat out cop. He can see what action somone did last night. My guess is he came out to save himself from getting lynched by all of you. The critic is sorta dead wood. Vote Critic

------------------
Thats my opinion.... I probably don't care about yours

[Sparticus]

Unvote: Mac

Feeling a bit tentative.

------------------
I am still Sparticus, no matter what you say.

[Lucresia]

Unvote: MacadamiamaN

[The Critic]

Whoa! Why the accusation, RSA? Sorry if I've been 'dead wood' so far, but I haven't been able to make a claim (1st day is always vague).

I have a couple of dilbert books (7 years of highly defective people, for example), and from what I've read, Tina doesn't follow anyone. She's...well, she's described at "brittle". She get's angry at people a lot, and accuses people of playing on stereotypes. She likes to mess around with dilbert, refuses to read his work, blah blah blah. There was even a character created called An-Tina (the antithesis of tina) that is really nice and helpful. Then again, the mod could be altering the roles.

FOS: Mac

Veg said:

[The Critic]

Wait...*rereads thread* If mod is altering roles...

FOS: Veg instead

RSA, can you expland on being Dawn? And what's your relationship with bob? A wedgie giving team?

[Ghost Post]

if you insist.
The Dinos work together as cops, by giving wedgies (we wedgie the truth out of the or something). The more of us that are still alive, the higher quality our wedgie. Right now all of us are alive, but if we start dying, our wedgie quality will drop and we might not get accurate results.
And you, Critic, are mafia scum. That's what's up with the accusation.

[MacadamiamaN]

As I said I'm not an avid Dilbert reader, and I've never heard of Dawn, but from what I see, perhaps a wedgie isn't a bad thing?

Cuban edited his post.

Bear, I found rsa giving a wedgie, that's all.

So, FOS: Critic
and FOS: Cuban
