Back to Basic Basics Mafia--Game Over

[Courk]

Non-participators aren't going to be mafia, IMO. IN this game, the best role is mafia. Usually, at least in my experience, the peopel who leave games are people who got bored with it, people with boring roles, people who are townies. Anyoen here who isn't participating is probably a bored townie. The mafia is participating and voting so that they can win.

[MadMax]

I tend to agree with Courk.
Thus just a Fos on non-participants, as they spoil the fun.

[MadMax]

Just came to a mathamatical realization...

To assume we can win, there will be 1 or 2 Mafia.
(If 3 tha mafia will win in all sinarios,and 3 seems excessive for 14 player game)
If there are 2 Mafia, and we lynch a Townee, we lose.
If there is but 1 Mafia, no panic yet.

If any see a flaw in my thinking, please correct me.

Happy New Year

[Quagmire]

Nothing wrong with your logic here.

That's why I said that we need to lynch a mafioso today because lynching a townie woud do us no good.

....But I'm going to vote: simsim.

Why, you ask? Look at reply 155. He puts the third vote on MadMax as to try and bandwagon him so someone will accidentaly put the fourth and final vote on him, thus making the mafia get a cheap and quick win. That's what I got out of it.

Plus, even though hitting lurkers won't do us much good, he IS lurking. I say we go for simsim.

[Mackay]

Simsim is on holidays and only has limited internet access. She'll probably be back here in a week or so.

Apart from that, well, there's not much in he way of reasoning going on, but MadMax has a point as far as Porro goes... I guess...

[MadMax]

FOS Simsim

Because all she does is add votes to fellow players,
says she doesn't know why she is making these votes,
then leaves stating that she will be offline again.

This is either 1..a non-interested player or 2..Mafia.
Either way not helpful to the town.

My vote stays where it is for now though.

[simsim]

First of all, I am a SHE! not a HE!
And to make Quagmire happy !
unvote: MadMax

[Quagmire]

Damnit! Are all you people out to get me? I've got to realize that there are girls on the internet.

[MadMax]

Beware of the Amazons.

[DMTsurel]

I'm extremely sorry for lurking (for some strange reason I keep saying that... ).
I'm off to reread the thread and I'll post hopefully tommorow or in two days.

[DMTsurel]

Wow. Reading this thread over, this simsim is really scummy.
Day 1: Random vote. No big deal.
Day 2: Random vote. Again: no big deal.
Day 3: About 40 hours before deadline, and guess what our simsim does…Random vote, for Courk!, who has no other votes against her.
Day 4:

And then she unvotes Madmax trying to look like an innocent townie.
Scum bells are ringing in my ears. You may have pleased Quagmire, but it's just not good enough for me, please explain yourself.
vote:simsim

[Quagmire]

Just because you may be sorry for lurking doesn't mean you're scum.

Vote stands.

[Courk]

Why is voting randomly for me 40 hour before the day 3 deadline when I had no other votes so suspicious? Have i missed something?

[Sparticus]

That "mudbuck was killed" post was actually the beginning of Day 3, not 4. I got my days mixed up a bit. Sorry about that.

[Porro]

What Courk said.

[MadMax]

Too tired to work it out.

Can we have a vote count Mod please?

[Sparticus]

Vote Count(4 to lynch):
Porro-2 (Courk, MadMax)
simsim-2 (Quagmire2, DMTsurel)
MadMax-1 (Porro)

No current vote: Mackay, simsim

[Mackay]

Out of the two options presented, I think I'll work with MadMax and Courk's theory of the lurkers not being the evil ones.

Vote: Porro

[Quagmire]

Well, that's three on Porro. Are you sure you just want to let him hang there with one vote away from lynching at this point? Let him come up with a soluble defense.

FOS: Mackay

[MadMax]

simsim:

Without putting a final vote on a player could you tell us who you would vote for at this stage please.

[Porro]

I'm a townie.

I don't know what defence anyone expects. It seemed I got voted for because I voted Madmax without an explanation. Well I explained it at the bottom of last page, i.e. it was a semi-random, semi-gut-instinct vote. There's not enough posts in this game for me to work out sound logic, so voila, I stuck my neck out on instinct, hoping to at least start a discussion.

I wonder if I'd be one vote away from a lynch now if I'd given the reason, feeble as it is, when I posted.

That being said, I was rather suprised at Courk's reaction. No FOS, no questioning, just a vote with a sarcastic comment. Far more logical than my vote eh?

FOS: Courk and Madmax

[MadMax]

simsim........waiting answer to my question.

[Quagmire]

I say we lynch simsim. He;s inactive, and completely has ignored everything we've said lately.

[Mackay]

I believe I've stated before that simsim is on holiday? For some reason a replacement hasn't been found. She has Internet access, but only very rarely. So yeah.

As far as Porro goes... *sigh* unvote: Porro and what the hack are we supposed to do now? Let's just lynch someone. If it's lynch-or-lose (I forget whether it is or not) then at least this fiasco will be over if we choose wrongly.

[Sparticus]

Vote Count(4 to lynch):
Porro-2 (Courk, MadMax)
simsim-2 (Quagmire2, DMTsurel)
MadMax-1 (Porro)

No current vote: Mackay, simsim

Mackay, do you think I should find a replacement for simsim?

And finally, the holiday break has more or less come to a close, but I'll be lenient for now about the deadline. However, if the town is not decisive enough soon, I will institute a deadline.

[Mackay]

Well, I personally think she should be replaced. The trouble is, she doesn't WANT to be replaced. So I'll leave it up to you, Spart.

[Mackay and DP]

I'm going to re-read the thread to see if I notice anything. Anything at all. But the way everyone has been playing I severely doubt it. This was a great idea for a game, Spart, but unfortunately the players have let you down. Next time we need to get IS playing. *mischevious smile*

[Mackay]

Ummmm, pretend the above post was by me. Yeah.

[Mackay]

Firstly, while re-reading, I found this quote by Quagmire:

[MadMax]

Shall we agree to give 24hrs to find a replacement for ssim or have her respond?

[Porro]

- A bit later on, Porro gives me an FOS for claiming townie. It struck me then, and it strikes me again now, that two people (Porro and DMTsurel) didn't realise that the town was just townies and mafia. I guess it's a mistake anyone could make... one could be townie and still think there were cops out there... but IMO, someone WITH a role is more likely to think that there are other roles out there than we mere peasants

---

Is that the pungent aroma of crap logic I smell?

[Porro]

Okey dokey, my life stands in the balance, so I've had a quick look through the thread to see if I can find anything a bit suspicious. Since other discussion, and voting is focused on simsim, I've particularly looked at her posts, viz:

Well, i need not be replaced just yet i got some internet connected at my dads today.
As for a vote, i really have no idea so im going to go random and ask my 3 year old sister to pick, sorry to whoever it is.
Vote:Darkblade
again, sorry, it was peytons choice
and if im missing for too long and cant get connected ill let Mackay know so i can be replaced

Not entirely sure why. I haven't been keeping up much, sorry, i am on holidays and don't get alot of time to get online. My apologies if i am absent for a while here and there, i will try to keep up.

Now that could be percieved as repeated apologies/excuses for lurking/inactivity, despite undertaking to ask for a replacement if necessary, she never did. So in a desperate attempt at self preservation, I'll Vote:simsim though if she's replaced I'll obviously reconsider.

[Porro]

I should have done this too unvote:Madmax

[Mackay]

[Courk]

She's off for 23 days and doesn't feel the need for a replacement? That was in between holidays (At least in America. Do Aussies have Thanksgiving or any other November holiday?), and the post before the abscense said she would tell Mackay if she needed a replacement. Me thinks someone doesn't want to give up her first mafia role.

Unvote: porro
Vote: simsim

[Courk]

Crap, that's 4. I thought I was 3, I didn't see porro's vote.

[Quagmire]

Ooh, shoot. Hopefully she's mafia....
