Post-Apocalyptic Mafia - Town Wins! [Archive]

[jeraado]

Hmm I have to relook but I swore that he/she did not post before I voted for him.Then again I kind of scanned the post so I think I might of missed
him/her posting.Anyways he/she is active so Im not going to vote for them.

Hey Jerando do you hate me bc I hate you I dont know why. My role message that I hate Jerando.I thought this was an kind of odd statement for a mafia game.


UNVOTE Jerando

Now that's not very nice! No, my role doesn't say I hate you, but it does mention that some people blame me for the apocalypse, or possibly just professional jealousy?

[safariguy5]

Well I thought herk had a very helpful post. It did highlight one thing for me anyways, we have a lot of rather inactive people. Incidentally, I do not believe there was confusion over the numbering. It said that we had 22 survivors, but closer examination revealed one of them to be the corpse of Paris Hilton, meaning there are 21 living "survivors".

This sounds like jeraado could be some kind of scientist role. May have abilities or something.

This is the closest anyone has been to helping me with this. Thanks. If you reread though, it says there are 21 survivors, THEN it says we had 22 survivors. THEN it says there is the body...

[Skoffin]

Perhaps this is my paranoia speaking, but back in the old days of mafia I recall being in a zombie themed game where there was similar 'hinkyness' with the numbering in the mods posts. In the end it turned out that the mod had actually been one of the players the entire time. The mod stated that there were no mistakes in the posts, and herk already pointed out why the Paris thing doesn't work based on what was written, so I suppose another possibility is that there is a hidden player among us? A hidden player scenario could encompass many things though.
Eh, any suggestions towards that matter are going to involve a lot of assumptions and leaps of faith.

That would be a serious violation of modding rules...

[Commander9]

Just to clear one thing up - I am not playing and there are no hidden players.

Everything is allowed.

That being said I thin Jeraado is going to be the main topic of interest for a moment. His comment is simply screaming mad scientist ( IRL, not the named mafia role) and it is questionable whether a character like that would be an ally of the town.

[edocsil]

Details, details....

Vote Jeraado

[Skoffin]

That would be a serious violation of modding rules...

Not really, mods are free to run games any which way they like.

Just to clear one thing up - I am not playing and there are no hidden players.

Well now I just feel silly.

Although the underlining of the 'players' bit just makes me extra paranoid. Do we get NPS?! I hope they don't run through my bomb field as I place them *grumble grumble*

[tdans]

So, now that I have posted that list, I will post my early analysis of possibly scummy posters. Click to see their posts.

Really worries me. I don't know if he is new to the mafia scene or not, but seems scummy to me.

Has contributed absolutely nothing. A few jokes and joke votes, but that's it... I think she is a better player than this...

Has contributed absolutely nothing. Two joke votes...

Seemed to have a pretty good grasp of the "zombie" faction. Also seemed to fish for the cop a little bit... Not looking to good so far...

Seems to know exactly how long it takes for someone to change from being a human... How would he know this? Why would he hypothesize on this?

Nothing but some early joke material.

One post, seems like he isn't saying much.

One post, joke vote.

Two posts, nothing of substance.

Votes almost as many times as he posts.

Also, Commander9, can you explain this? Was the numbering a mistake?

Yet another night has gone through to the lone survivors. No one felt safe, no one felt assured of what the future had promised to them... People have gathered in the middle of what used to be a Roman style agora (Judging from it's looks, it's quite recent however) and counted the people again - there had been 21 survivors. Some very intelligent, some very nice looking, some very fugly, some didn't even look too human... Only after realizing that there were only 22 of them left, they've noticed a half chewed body of Paris Hilton - the sight was not very nice...

Theez is beddy interesting...

Well, back in my good old days, weird things happened Anyways, I shall stop posting on this matter and any other posts regarding this shall be ignored. (I don't have any plans to reveal any spoilers/surprises any attempts to get information will only make it worse to that person). If you've got problems with that, you can always PM me, but I do not want this thread to become a petty discussion such as this (Herk). IF there are still other questions, I would also suggest reading rules, especially the first one (again, directed at the same person). That will be all.

[jeraado]

That being said I thin Jeraado is going to be the main topic of interest for a moment. His comment is simply screaming mad scientist ( IRL, not the named mafia role) and it is questionable whether a character like that would be an ally of the town.

The info I gave was from my backstory. If you try to guess my role from this you're gonna head way off track. I deliberately kept it reasonably vague because I was answering a specific question

Details, details....

Vote Jeraado

Ummm how about no. Suspicion fell on me because fuzzylogic thought I was inactive. I answered fuzzy's question which related to our role PMs. Any more detail would basically be me claiming - why would you want me to do that?

Here was the actual post and my response:

UNVOTE Jerando

In hindsight I should've just answered no - the 'blaming me for the apocalypse' was to add flavour to my backstory, not any substance unless there is some very clever link between our roles that I'm not aware of. If there is the only way I could see it is by us both being town, but just to reiterate - I think this is a red herring

[/]

Wow herk, keeping track of a big list of posts for scum-hunting purposes? Picking up some distraction techniques from haggis?
*tucks hand in pants* thinking about the scene, it was probably a joke. 21 of us were counted as survivors until we noticed that skeletal half chewed up thing we thought was a corpse (Paris Hilton) was actually alive, making 22. It's probably just added flavor, but seeing as the mod underlined the word

Just to clear one thing up - I am not playing and there are no hidden players.

it could be a game mechanic that we likely have no control of, perhaps the zombie faction grows randomly?

[Iliad]

@Com9, Can you spell it out for me? Cause you say there are 21 of us, then you say there are 22 of us, then you say Paris Hilton died... WTF?

@Thezz, I forgot to put the names in the second one. But after putting links in that first post, feel free to bitch at me rather than thank me.

You could hover over the link and see that is says "author=vioiet".

It isn't that useful, and you didn't actually put forward much of who you thought looked scummy and why. Therefore it did look like you were trying to look busy for the sake of looking busy. It is much preferable if you offered one solid case, rather than a list of votes on everyone

Sounds like a lynchee, perhaps a hated townie.

I'm not liking the vibe I'm getting from some players, namely, herk for his usual play style, fuzzylogic for his fuzzy logic and tdans for being rather useless so far.

[theherkman]

Just to clear one thing up - I am not playing and there are no hidden players.

Thanks for clearing it up, but I never thought that you were.

Everything is allowed.

Allowed, maybe. Ethical, nope.

Not really, mods are free to run games any which way they like.

As a mod, I am free to mod kill anyone who posts more than 4 sentences in a paragraph. Does that make it ethical because I can "run a game however I like"? Also, what is "NPS"?

Theez is beddy interesting...

Tdans, did you even read the post you quoted? You are currently on it.

Don't put my name in parenthesis like this whole thing is directed at me. I was the only player who seemed to notice your math skills needed some work. I tried to bring this up to you originally by bolding the numbers. You didn't respond. Then I asked others to explain to me because maybe I wasn't understanding what you meant. You don't always place your punctuation in a manner that is easy to understand. Skoffin brought up all this about you playing in the game. If you really feel you need to belittle someone then make sure of who you need to be talking to. Don't threaten me by saying you will make it worse for me. You seemed to have made a mistake and I brought it to your attention. I did reread the first rule. Let me quote from it now.

However, I am and I can make mistakes (I know, shocking, right?). If that happens, I will try and fix any mistake I may have made.

Which is why I brought it up. I think you owe me an apology for your demeaning post.

This is one thing that really bugs me. Haggis never made that list in New Briarsburg. I made that list and he quoted it from my post. I made a list in NB and I am making a list here. I may very well go to the trouble of making a list for every game I am in.

Oh, and if you continue talking about Commander9's posts he'll throw another hissy fit and blame me for talking about it...

This is my last post on this matter. I've already told you two times (maybe even three) that there were no mistakes in that, but since you've brought back and back again, you left me no choice. I wasn't trying to belittle you, but it seems you've so far have been unable to comprehend what I've wrote. I wasn't threatening you in particular - I was stating what will happen.

One last time - so far, there have been NO mistakes in story.

Oh, and if you continue talking about Commander9's posts he'll throw another hissy fit and blame me for talking about it...

You're the one who has baiting the whole game. If you don't like the game, feel free to be asked replaced. I didn't want to be involved in any conflicts and I don't plan to change that. I suggest we move on one way or the other.

Good to know. That means there had been 21 survivors originally, after a recount in the morning of day 1 there were "only 22" left, then the corpse of Paris Hilton was noticed.
There are obviously 21 players.

This. I don't see why it became such an important topic of discussion.

[Streaker]

Well I thought herk had a very helpful post. It did highlight one thing for me anyways, we have a lot of rather inactive people. Incidentally, I do not believe there was confusion over the numbering. It said that we had 22 survivors, but closer examination revealed one of them to be the corpse of Paris Hilton, meaning there are 21 living "survivors".

Hmm I have to relook but I swore that he/she did not post before I voted for him.Then again I kind of scanned the post so I think I might of missed
him/her posting.Anyways he/she is active so Im not going to vote for them.

Hey Jerando do you hate me bc I hate you I dont know why. My role message that I hate Jerando.I thought this was an kind of odd statement for a mafia game.


UNVOTE Jerando

Now that's not very nice! No, my role doesn't say I hate you, but it does mention that some people blame me for the apocalypse, or possibly just professional jealousy?

This sounds like jeraado could be some kind of scientist role. May have abilities or something.

This is the exact reason why I voted safari. He has been consistently pointing out other players who might have powers or abilities, which imo can't be good for the town. He's just making it easy for the bad guys to find a good target. Again.

Thank you for supporting my vote on you.

Can't write miuch as I'm in a BR, but why is everyone glossing over this?

This seems to imply lyncher, which would fit with Jeraado's backstory about being responsible for the apocalypse or something.

Er, if he were scum, why would he mention all this in the topic? Couldn't he, like, talk to his scumbuddies at night and mention it to them in that way?

I'd argue that ethical depends on what the game is and whether the players understood these to be part of the game before joining up, but I suppose this debate isn't appropriate here. I find these discussions interesting though, so maybe I'll bring it up elsewhere. I'll drop the topic here though so as not to detract from the game further. Sorry everyone.
I meant to say NPC, whups.


Fuzzy looks like he could be a lyncher, I think it would be worth pressuring him some more. Back in my day, when you hated someone you generally tried to get them destroyed. Wouldn't want to see that happen here.

Aage brings up a point on safari. His actions are those that are often called out as scumtells, but more often than not they are actually noobtells. He needs to cut it out, but I don't think it makes him mafia.

Guys, Brainwave! I think Jeraado could be Arnold, who else would you blame for a zombie apocalypse in the USA? I could believe him to be the scientist who did the deed, but I think Arnold fits a lot better. Maybe I am crazy but w/e.

vote fuzzy lynchers are no good.

[Campin_Killer]

Yeah. And I don't think we can win if there is a lyncher still alive right? Never had one before so..idk.

vote fuzzy for trying to kill someone

Town may win, but they will lose. Usually.
