Re: Omertà Mafia [Day 1]

DHARMAHELPER

Day 1

DH begins the day by stating that this game will play "counter to my usual strengths", and reaffirms that opinion later on by saying "my usual baddie-hunting style would be cut off at the knees". But that still didn't stop him from an opposing comment in his opening post "I have a few ideas and strategies in order to try and catch mafia", in addition to multiple suspicions throughout the day. DH only mentioned trust of one player on Day 1, and that was Golden for putting a lot of effort into his meta-read post.

DH also contributed the Green X tactic so players can verify how many posts everyone has at a certain point.

Suspicions:
Ricochet - for not contributing
Metalmarsh89 - not liking what "I am up to", and I need to "get a grip"
MovingPictures07 - for asking a question, which in turn would elicit an answer (and a post)
ika - for offering odd contributions
Elohcin - a very late one coupled with his vote for "the TH case"

Day 2

DH takes a stab at Long Con for his sarcastic post. He then offers a stronger explanation for his Elohcin vote, and mentions that he still thinks Golden is civ. DH later on backs off of Long Con after reading his explanation. But finally, DH reestablishes his suspicion of LC, and also of Elohcin in his last post of Day 2.

Suspicions:
Elohcin
Long Con

Day 3

DH begins with a pseudo-apology to LC after he was nightkilled, but immediately goes after Elohcin, and lists several other players who have pinged him (included below). The one thing that bothered me this day was his detached interaction with Turnip Head. In the very same post, DH suspects TinyBubbles for being a low-flying player and for opportune voting, but lets TH skate by with his admitted uninvolvement. This I don't get. The reason it stands out to me is because DH has been on-topic and very active in his hunting, and this one joke doesn't fit logically, based on what I said before.

Suspicions:
MovingPictures07
Elohcin
Hedgeowl
TinyBubbles

Day 4

Not much happening here. One post voting for Elohcin, and another explaining his vote.

DH also says that "TH is not a threat to the civs". Excuse me, but I don't think that has been proven at all.

Suspicions:
Elohcin

Votes

Day 1 - Elohcin
Day 2 - Long Con (nightkilled Night 2)
Day 3 - MovingPictures07 (lynched Day 3 - mafia)
Day 4 - Elohcin

My Thoughts

For the most part, I like what DH is doing. However, his opinions on TH are pretty sketchy. If Elohcin is lynched and flips civilian, DH and TH are the first two I'm looking at.



DREAM

Day 1

No reply at all.

Day 2

No reply at all.

Day 3

DREAM finally checks in. DREAM questions TH, llama, and supports ika's suspicion of Missing Person. DREAM ends the day voting for Missing Person.

Suspicions:
Missing Person

Day 4

No reply at all.

Votes

Day 3 - Missing Person

My Thoughts

I don't really know what to say. Day 3 for us was essentially Day 1 for DREAM, so giving her(?) another day to settle down would be nice, but she hasn't even posted today. :shrug:



TURNIP HEAD

Day 1

Comes in with a joking post, then ends up voting for DH by the day's end after not stating any opinions on anything.

Suspicions:
None

Day 2

Doesn't post much, and when he does, it's not on topic.

Suspicions:
None

Day 3

TH acknowledges that he has not taken this game seriously, and suggests that we pretend he's on the sideline. And that is the only post he made this day.

Suspicions:
None

Day 4

TH comments on llama's death, says we should only lynch him if we want to lynch a vanilla civ, and he suspects us all equally.

Suspicions:
Everyone equally

Votes

Day 1 - Dharmahelper
Day 2 - Metalmarsh89
Day 3 - Missed
Day 4 - Missed

My Thoughts

These are quick thoughts so I can get this post published. I think he is bad.

Golden, nice meta list. I appreciate the shout-out, but I absolutely hate that emotional outbursts have become my 'thing' lately. I have every intention to ensure that will no longer be the case. I also echo that I don't agree with MM's decision, even though I can understand the logic.

MM, why do you suspect me for not posting yet when I haven't been the only one? I've been busy trying to catch up on PhD stuff because I blew my whole weekend playing Economics (no regrets).

I really don't know what I will do with my vote and I anticipate this lynch will probably be very random.
Hi MovingPictures07. I suspected your lack of posting because you are a bigger post whore than I am, and I'm a pretty big one. Also, you explained your reason for it, so it is water under the proverbial bridge now.
MovingPictures07 wrote:Also, MM, I lol'ed over "Rainbow Sock Mode". :haha:

I guess this is my 2nd post.
With as precious as each post is (to some people), why did you take two posts to comment on my strategy post, even though the second of these posts was pretty much off-topic? In your first post, you disagreed with it (in an echo of Golden) while commenting that you understood the logic behind it. But then you made sure to comment on the "Rainbow Sockman" portion of it next. My belief is that you didn't even read my strategy to begin with, but that you were just agreeing with Golden because he is Golden. I suspect you for this.
MovingPictures07 wrote:Oops, duly noted, DH. I totally forgot that asking questions will lose a lot of purpose here, I didn't even think of that while I asked it.

ika, why do you think that? (you don't have to answer in a separate post, I suppose)

This game is insanely restrictive to me; I can't handle it. I'll just post this one more time I guess and will have to post all of my reads and make my final vote with my last post.
Lol that you apologize for asking questions, then immediately ask another one. :haha:

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Posting again because I feel the need to.

Four is not a limit persay. If I get lynched in a landslide today, nothing is to stop me from flipping to Rainbow Sock Mode and vomitting all over this thread.

And of course, if there is a landslide lynch on one player, that will give every other player another 5-10 posts they can make during the day without being lynched. In fact, I will volunteer myself for the lynch if anyone wants to try to get a little more volume out of their Day 1. This will let me post as much as I want, and let everyone else get some extra mileage out of their Day 1 before Day 2 starts.

Prelude vote set to Metalmarsh89.

I am not bad.

I agree that Rico's posts are the least fruitful. I would be okay voting him or MM at this point. MM b/c his posts are off the wall. I'm having a hard time taking him seriously and that screams mafia to me.

I disagree that we cannot ask questions to one another or as one another to elaborate. We may just have to wait a little bit for the answers as the responding player will most likely not answer until he/she has other things to say and will just add their response to that post.

What does everyone else think of MM and Rico at this point?

That's okay, I don't understand you either. :suspish:

But at least we can kind-of agree on who we want to vote for.

I don't know what inspired me to do this - perhaps all the meta talk in economics mafia, perhaps it's just because with only 4 posts I have some psychotic need to feel like each one has a genuine purpose. But I thought I'd post a brief synopsis of how well I know each player and my perceptions of how loud or quiet they are when they have no posting restrictions. I'll grade my perception of their posting habits in 5 groups - low, low/moderate, moderate, moderate/high, and high. Also giving some idea of how well I feel I've got to grips with their style.
I think this idea in general is a good one, and hopefully some people will come in and post similarly. It doesn't even have to be meta, it could be something as simple as a brief observation this game. I would not be surprised if some players are waiting to post after they see some other players post so they can have something to talk about, and I think that is unfair to the rest of the players to use that strategy. I could see the thread being steered by the late posters. I am getting my thoughts into the thread early, because I think it's bad to allow for late action to happen like that, because it is easily and often orchestrated by the baddies.
This is my favorite thing I have read so far! So are you suggesting we all post at the same time, to avoid people waiting to post based on what other people say? (What I am doing right now apparently!) ;) It looks like maybe you just mean we shouldn't all wait to post at the end and let baddies control the vote towards the end, but I imagine, there will be more votes without an explanation post in this game due to us all running out of posts.
In an ideal world, it would work, but I understand it is not perfect. :grin: Most people have jobs, and kids, or possibly even a drug addiction.

I thought this game might be a nice break from the last game where people said I was posting a lot but basically only writing fluff and not really engaging with people. In a game when we got four posts per game, I'm going to damn well make sure that every single one of them provides content, even if other people like to think that content doesn't matter.
I commended you! And I wasn't even the only one to use that word. :noble:
Golden wrote:I've never understood this argument 'x is providing a whole lot of content, but I don't personally find the content useful, therefore I think x is bad.' It doesn't make sense. If you don't even think the content is useful, how the heck, then, would I get any civilian cred for posting it????? It's a line that gets trailed out over and over, and civilians keep getting lynched based on it. But what would the baddie reason be for me to do it? It just doesn't make sense~
I would have to agree, and would like to point the same thing out to Elohcin (go ahead and vote for me though).
Golden wrote:A justification for how my posts are less useful than Rico's??? REALLY? Sockman said something in Economics about how he is afraid to get paranoid and make imaginary mafia teams in his head. I have no fear - in fact, keeping a clear 'theory of the game' in mind that fits with my suspicions is my MO. I'm much more likely to vote for someone if I think I can see who their team might be. Take my certainty on Aces in Roger Rabbit for example - how much more convinced was I when I had a theory of exactly how things were going down (a correct theory in that case, I might add).
That's the strategy I often use.

Addendum: I think Golden is civilian.

Golden, you get one post to tell me who you think I should vote for! :grin:

I can't tell if you are actually joking or not, but I now suspect you for spending three posts without actually responding to anything, but just doing your own thing.

Neverwhere wrote:For what its worth, I think Golden seems civvie. It all looks like the usual Golden Waffle to me :D

I just had to speed read through an entire page of posts and I don't know most people here yet, so I think I'll need to give it another read through to get some ideas and get a grips wth people. So far LC is sticking out to me, but that may just be because he was mentioned a few times.

Also, as an aside my internet is completely on the fritz at the moment. It's not working 85% of the time. If I go really quiet or fail to vote it's not on purpose, I just can't access site. If this becomes a problem, I understand.
I do think he is civilian, but I don't think he is waffling at all. :grin:
Golden wrote:You know what Missing Person? Nope.

Listen to those who know me. You want to contribute to scum reads, your best place to start is to listen. I got lynched in Economics because newbies wanted me to give a read on every single player and others latched on to it. They claimed I was observing the game, but not being part of it. Newsflash: it's not the way I play. I'm not giving someone a town read or a mafia read when I have no opinion at all. I don't play these dumb games of gut reads, they are completely meaningless. You think I couldn't game that system if I was bad? Anyone could. I've never seen anyone reliably catch mafia that way.

Right now, I have no read on 90% of players. I've given you my read. I think Rico and Hedge could be teamies, and I think Hedge used her vote as a pre-emptive strike. I solve the game my way, no-one elses. And if you don't like that this makes me civ, I'll say again, go read day one of economics. I don't have anything to prove to you, you have something to prove to everyone else. If you aren't willing to listen to those who know me best, and if you aren't willing to do the time to see if this correlates with my civilian game when you don't know the first thing about me, then it is YOU who isn't trying to solve this thing. Do you want to take on board the references I've made? Want to fact check? Nah, you still just want to say I'm not contributing. Get real. I've given my genuine reads, which is more than what well over half of the people in this game have done.

Your count doesn't need to be right, because I'm POSTING THE NUMBER OF POSTS EVERY TIME and I posted big green x's in my last post, so whats all this with 'if my count is right'?

If I get lynched today on the back of people who don't me and think they are all that, well the worst that can happen is exactly what happened in economics. People learn to know me better. If it stops you reading me as scum next time, all the better. In the mean time, I'll say it again. Listen to those who know me. Because if you think that long list gives you any sense of my alignment one way or the other, you are only fooling yourself.

It's incredibly tiresome for me to have to fight the same argument about my play style every game. It's not hard. Go read economics mafia. If you aren't willing to do the time, don't claim it's my mafia game. End of story.

I'd honestly vote Missing Person, except I think Rico is the best bet. I just honestly can't be bothered with this kind of attitude, like I need to play someone else's game to be civ. Like I have something to prove to someone who doesn't know me on day one. What a daft concept.

Grrr... I have to vote before I go to bed. I won't be around at 3am for end of poll. I'd probably vote in self defence again, but obviously that won't be happening....

Ps TH, I would have said you should have self voted. Revenge and all of that.

I'll vote Missing Person. Consider it a warning vote. If I die, you will see I am civ and know for our future battles - I am not taking any prisoners. If someone wants to force me to play their way, I do not believe they have my best interests at heart.

I still think Rico/Hedge could be good bets, though, but Missing Person's idea that I should need to play his way to prove I'm civ is much more pingworthy for me.

Done.

Whoa! :huh:

I still think Golden is civilian. Still, I would lynch him on Day 1 for the second game in a row for the lulz. :hug:

Do it! Vote for me! It will be fun! :fiesta:
thellama73 wrote:Stop voting for Golden, you guys. He is not bad. I want to vote for Rico, because I think his determined unhelpfulness is a double bluff (no baddie would play like that!) but I am not above a Golden save if necessary. Long Con is probably bad, so not a terrible choice there.

I don't disagree about Long Con. I dunno about Ricochet, but the lack of content is the reason for that.

I proxy my vote to you for Day 2 if I'm still alive.

Missing Person wrote:You play your way, I play mine. I play off general tendencies until I pick up on patterns I see. The way that wall looked was just as filler to look productive.
Since you only get "4" posts, why would you not cram everything you can into one post? I think accusing players of doing so in this game won't hold any water.
Missing Person wrote:As far as reading another game just to see if this townclears you to me, not gonna. Simply put, I know myself, and I know I could look through games you have played to cherry pick a case against you. I'd rather not, I'll take the risk of getting lynched for not going through TS history rather than risk pushing a mislynch on a civ if you are.
So you'd rather lynch yourself then risk lynching Golden? :confused:

fingersplints wrote:I also don't find MM almost trying to go over the count helpful, but I don't know that it makes me suspicious. I just don't understand his motivation. It doesnt seem like it would be beneficial from a civvie or mafia perspective.
Sorry. I get crazy ideas and do whatever I want with them.

I've offered myself up for lynch already. I find it more strange that people would rather suspect me and ignore that fact, than just agree with me and give me your votes. :eek:

+++++++++++

That said, my top two suspcions are Turnip Head and MovingPictures07. In a game that will not have a high post amount, I find it most suspicious to not read the thread, and to not respond. If I am in a position to save myself, I will likely cast a self-preservation vote. Otherwise, I would rather lynch one of these two players, and Turnip Head would get my vote.

Prelude vote set to Turnip Head

Re: Omertà Mafia [Day 1]

I'm back because I have more thoughts to introduce. I'm in the middle of a take-home exam, so this is the perfect game to distract myself since I post count is a crucial part of this game and I should limit it.
Golden wrote:I don't support or encourage MM's theory of the game. Sure, you may well be able to use that strategy, but it doesn't seem in the spirit of the game, it seems sort of like an exploit. (Although it is completely an MM thing to do to let himself die for those purposes.)
Well then you just post 4 times and lay your head down to sleep, old man. :p
Golden wrote:More importantly, though, I have no proof that a mafia couldn't have some kind of lynch switch or lynch immunity, and I'm not inclined to trust 'racking up votes on myself' as a good strategy.
As far as I'm concerned, this game is completely vanilla, aside from the role with the obvious power. Perhaps Epignosis can elaborate on that?

Epignosis, does any player have a special power or ability that is not listed in the original post?
Golden wrote:I really encourage those who haven't posted yet to start posting. I don't know what inspired me to do this - perhaps all the meta talk in economics mafia, perhaps it's just because with only 4 posts I have some psychotic need to feel like each one has a genuine purpose. But I thought I'd post a brief synopsis of how well I know each player and my perceptions of how loud or quiet they are when they have no posting restrictions. I'll grade my perception of their posting habits in 5 groups - low, low/moderate, moderate, moderate/high, and high. Also giving some idea of how well I feel I've got to grips with their style.
I think this idea in general is a good one, and hopefully some people will come in and post similarly. It doesn't even have to be meta, it could be something as simple as a brief observation this game. I would not be surprised if some players are waiting to post after they see some other players post so they can have something to talk about, and I think that is unfair to the rest of the players to use that strategy. I could see the thread being steered by the late posters. I am getting my thoughts into the thread early, because I think it's bad to allow for late action to happen like that, because it is easily and often orchestrated by the baddies.
Golden wrote:ika - never played with Ika
It should be noted, that at this point, ika has already voted for Long Con.
Golden wrote:MetalMarsh89 - I've only played with MM a few times. I already feel I understand his style completely. It's also already fairly clear that MM is a strong candidate for most likely to blow his 4 post limit. HIGH poster! I haven't seen MMs baddie game yet, but from what others say I'm anticipating it will be hard to distinguish.
Is this game going to be the first time you see my baddie game? Stay tuned for more information. :feb:
Golden wrote:MovingPictures07 - played a reasonable amount with this MP. High poster. Looking forward to seeing if he can pull off an emotional outburst in four posts :D think I have a pretty good understanding of this MPs style and a decent read on him.
I am surprised that MovingPictures07 has not posted even once yet, but I see he has not posted all day in Economics Mafia either, so he may just be busy with schoolwork. Maybe he is just being transparent.
Golden wrote:Ricochet - never played with Rico. Watched him a little in... Death Note? Impression was he is a moderate poster.
Always gotta watch out for Ricochet. He has played 3 games here (and thus, 3 games ever), all of them as baddies, and won two of them (and I was on his team in both of those games). The one he didn't win was a game with a crazy role-switching setup anyway.

+++++++++++

thellama73, you cannot make me answer your question.

+++++++++++

Epignosis, I have another question: does Homegirl's win condition refer to the genders of the roles, or the genders of the participating players?

+++++++++++

As I noted before, ika has voted for Long Con as of this post I am making. Since many votes will be cast without posts to signify them, I think players should try to include any new votes that happen, and hopefully state their own votes if they can.

+++++++++++

My current and extremely minor suspicions so far are ika for the early vote, MovingPictures07 for not posting yet, and fingersplints for the quick NoU to Long Con. Golden also gets my eye for being far too commendable. :suspish:

+++++++++++

This is my fifth post of Day 1. I have broken the game already. :epig:

Re: Omertà Mafia [Day 1]

Posting again because I feel the need to.

Four is not a limit persay. If I get lynched in a landslide today, nothing is to stop me from flipping to Rainbow Sock Mode and vomitting all over this thread.

And of course, if there is a landslide lynch on one player, that will give every other player another 5-10 posts they can make during the day without being lynched. In fact, I will volunteer myself for the lynch if anyone wants to try to get a little more volume out of their Day 1. This will let me post as much as I want, and let everyone else get some extra mileage out of their Day 1 before Day 2 starts.

Prelude vote set to Metalmarsh89.

Checking in.

I am going to watch all of you and place my vote at the deadline. I will probably make a post with it.

This is post number three (3) for me today.

Re: Omertà Mafia [Day 1]

Questions for the host: Did you kill 4 more people to include all the late signups?

Are votes changeable?

What happens in the event of a lynch tie?
