I think things are progressing well, and I'm the one with 3 votes :shrug2:

I mean, it's not perfect, but it's not too late to start pulling the threads through and getting some good lynches in.
Thats how I feel too, quin. I really do. It's not time for 'omg, worst civ performance ever, lets throw out baby with bathwater'.

Ditto to both of you.

We should still probably be able to keep everything on time today, but my work is piling up pretty bad on me as well. So I wanted to tell you all this so that, if Daisy is your host, don't worry, she will be getting back to you ASAP if you have PMs or questions not yet addressed. In addition, we likely won't need to push back the start of Day 5 but there is an outside chance we might. Stay tuned. Apologies for any inconvenience!
You poisoned her, didn't you? :feb:

Just to be clear, I didn't mean to call anyone stupid or insult anyone. But criticizing the way people are playing is basically how the game is played. Sorry about that.

I just feel like this town needs some kind of shock because it's like it's going off the rails, and the way that is happening is way too similar to the other times I've seen it happening.

That is pathetic. Assuming games are balanced, the civ and bad win rates should be equal.

See, I was going to mention that a good portion of those stats may be chalked up to game balance. It's not easy to balance a game. I can't say for sure, because I haven't played all those games, but I wouldn't just look at the stats and assume they were all balanced games, so it just proves civs suck. I have played a good many games here that have seemed both balanced and imbalanced to my limited knowledge/experience/perspective.

What I have noticed is that as long as civs can last the game out longer and longer, we stand a much better chance of finding those scum. It gets harder to hide as the game goes on. Maybe that's a duh, I don't know.

I think it's a little of both factors. There's no way of calculating that though. But I've said some angry things about game balance in this site before too.

It's still wrong, and I wish we did something to repair that. But this is moving away from the subject of the game, so i'll try to stop talking about it for now.

I agree that this conversation is off-topic and has been (and should continue to be) held elsewhere, but I want to comment nonetheless.

I think the reason(s) civilians win less here is very complex and it's difficult to assess truly what is causing it. Personally, I've mulled over it quite a lot, and I think it's a combination of:

1) Complex and unconventional game setups that are difficult to balance, skewing toward mafia-heavy balanced
2) Very complex setups that make it so that the civilians have to scumhunt in addition to solving the game's setup
3) A site full of mostly very skilled players that are at least as adapt at playing mafia roles, if not significantly better, than civilian ones
4) A mentality of civilians to look out only for themselves, when push comes to shove, rather than view themselves as a part of an uninformed team

And perhaps other factor(s) driven entirely by individual players, their playstyles, and their RL/mafia schedules.

I know particularly point 4) is argued and some don't believe that, but I'm firmly in that camp. I believe that because of the fact that many players here have played largely very complex open-setup role madness no-info dumping games for most of their career that it means they approach the game differently, and it causes 4) to exhibit itself. Civilians, especially when under pressure, can become too selfish and not reassess and collaborate as much as they should, IMO.

ISOing chaindeath because he only has 15 posts and I've suspected him on the back burner for a while.
(Just a preface: I like this guy's 3rd person play style. It's funny and charming in a weird way. But I digress). I'm going to microanalyzing him because he has given enough to do so IMO:

Day 1: votes LC because he seems "off"

Day 2: suspects Matt because he is "acting oddly" and Silverwolf because she is "acting fishy". No further explanation. Speculates that the arrest was switched to Wilgy (could it be because Wilgy wasn't the person he chose to kill that night?)
Ultimately votes for DDL in the poll for absolutely no stated reason.

Night2:
Fuzz is lynched. Then:
chaindeath wrote:That was quite a ride. chaindeath is glad that a member of the Police is dead especially when they are of such a powerful role as Surveillance Specialist. Though thinking on this he recalls that there is also an undercover cop running around who could have been the one who was lynched and chose to be seen in that role to save his specialist some heat. He still feels that DDL is acting funky. He hasn't gone through all of the other pages he needs to read because he is tuckered out from trying to catch up on 10+ pages in two hours and not being a terribly fast reader. Sleep well other people of the town. See you all, hopefully, after night 2! :sleepy:
What? No way that the seemer would appear as another cop. That's, like, the worst thing you could do in such an OP role. That's like a hungry dog abstaining from feasting on a roasted chicken placed in his food dish. It ain't happenin, kitty cat.

He backs up his vote for DDL now with the reasoning that DDL is "acting funky"..

Sloonei picks up on the lackluster vote for DDL:
chaindeath wrote:
Sloonei wrote:A peculiar vote in the poll: chaindeath (26) for Dragon D. Luffy. Chain was here, and clearly formed an opinion on a player who was in the thick of things during the CFD and put a vote on him, but he didn't say anything or get involved himself in the Fire Drill. Does he care to explain, chaindeath?
Chaindeath will gladly explain his position, he was on page 38 when he posted his vote. He feels that a vote should be formed based on what a player, himself included, feels at the moment of voting. He also would like to mention that he stated that he was behind on reading and the "Chinese fire drill" voting started later.
Sloonei wrote:Matt is probably my dark horse lynch option, if we're all gonna start throwing names into the Chinese Fire Drill pool.

Linki: I see we have started doing that! And Matt has other takers.
This was is on page 40. He was speed reading after he finished the post and voted but was unable to justify jumping into this "fire drill". Also as another point, he was totally unsure why others were voting for fuzz for most of the time he was reading up on the forum, though it is now evident.

Hope this clears it up for you.

Sloonei for the longest time chaindeath thought that your picture was a stack of pancakes with raspberries piled high on it. XD
So this is a pretty revealing post. He admits that he is behind on reading the thread, but is caught up enough to see that he didn't want to jump on the fire drill. He said he couldn't "justify" it, which is ironic because he didn't justify or explain his DDL vote at the time.. :ponder:

He goes on to say he has several civ reads, but doesn't name them. If he were "forced " to vote right then, he would vote DDL or SW. No further explanation. Does not vote yet, even though votes are changeable. Plans to look at people more closely if he survives the night.

It doesn´t look to me like he is really trying. What townstyle exhibits that?

I guess he is working and doesn´t have time to respond properly, but if he doesn´t do it soon I will be voting for him.
Nero, chaindeath thinks that the posting of pictures kinda makes Ika seem like a townie. There is still a secret roll and with one of the crew members dead from daisy's crew there are 5 other people who could have some other mission assigned by their don. It seems like a bad thing to base a baddie read on since there seems to still be some mystery around in the role pool.
See now Nero is finding ika scummy for saying things like "lynch this already", but chaindeath finds ika's picture posting "townie behavior". I fail to see the correlation there, but what's hypocritical about this is the post chaindeath made in day 2:
chaindeath wrote:
ika wrote:yawn can we lynch this now?
This statement makes chaindeath uncomfortable. :eye:
What happened in those 72 hours where 'Picturebooks by ika' build Cred where before chaindeath had the :eye: on ika for the exact same thing?

Day 3: he reads ika, and maybe Sloonei and indiglo as town. He finds sig and DDL uncomfortable "in the baddie sort of way"
Then he hand picks black rock, serge, zebra and llama as "outliers" he wants to hear more from. Why those 4? He's never before mentioned them in his posts.

He votes for Nerolunar:
Spoiler: show
chaindeath wrote:Nerolunar, chaindeath supposes he should thank you. He has looked back through some of the posts where he was mentioned and involved and has gotten some reads. Quite honestly he finds you quite suspect. You claim that he has only posted defensively however, he's tried to figure things out through postings to no avail. He finds it quite interesting that you restated things that he, although perhaps not as explicitly as he should have, days after the fact.

Maybe it's a piggy back but to him it seems like a Pingy-back (He tried)

He would also like to state that his initial entry into the game was in a defensive stance since people had voted for chaindeath. Apparently to you, he thinks, not physically having the time to participate is a baddie thing to do. He was out of town with family and to that point he felt his early vote on LC was justified but he didn't want to dwell too long on it. He feels bad saying it but it was more like a "throwaway vote".

Chaindeath would like to conclude with light amount of pingy-ness coming from Scotty also, any interaction with him seems to have been not the friendliest.

D&D night got moved up a day, so he will likely not be on until late or even tomorrow morning
So Nero was fishy because he coincidentally repeated a suspicion chaindeath himself had on ika earlier, and because Nero asserted that chaindeath had done nothing in the game but defend himself.

Chaindeath claims his day 1 vote for LC was justified, (which if I recall was a "he seems off") but then he invalidates that statement by saying it was just a "throwaway vote".

He then tosses in a light suspicion of me, because any interactions we had were "not the friendliest". I mean, this is purely a NO-U suspicion and makes me feel like he would rather I be kissing his feet. Scotty does not kiss feet- that's not the final frontier for Scotty's lips.

Day 4: defends his low post count with quality over quantity (which is a practice I am perfectly fine with and advocate 100%). He said he presented his first case in Nero ping-backing him. Though it wasn't really a case, but it was the most justification he's given for any of his votes thus far, which is an improvement.

He offers me and TH as sending "major baddie vibes" while Nero just makes him uncomfortable, yet that chaindeath "wants to bring attention to him". Llama and zebra are now yellow/orange in chaindeath's proverbial rainbow list.
With sig and Quin, however;:
chaindeath wrote:He feels torn with you two. He would like to say you're both town but could not do so with a clear conscience. He is going to say you're town leaning baddie. Hopefuly he will be able to say otherwise by the end of this day phase.
So he feels more comfortable calling me and TH (who he has never mentioned before in the game as a suspect) baddies, but cannot "in good conscience" say one way or another the same of sig or Quin.

Huh.

Also what does "town leaning baddie" even mean? Friendly neighborhood killer? Cuts my grass by day but probably slaughters children at night?

For his day 4 vote:
chaindeath wrote:Chaindeath doesn't know how he wants to vote... He needs to do it for the day but all of the people with votes on them feel like they could be town. He's going to stick with his guns and vote Nero because he is sure that he's bad.

He was also questioned about who will be bad if Sig flips bad, he doesn't know. There are too many options for one person's death to tell for sure on any of them. Long post short of Sig flips bad he's bad if he flips good we as a whole messed up and need to do some looming at those who pushed the vote. It doesn't make them bad but more suspect he supposes.

He does need to go for a run today while it's nice out. He may or may not be back for the EoD.
"Doesn't know how he wants to vote" --> "he is sure that [Nero] is bad" :suspish:
'If sig flips bad, he was bad.' 'If sig flips good, we need to look to the people pushing for his lynch' :suspish:

Come on man. Like, it's still a better story than the Twilight saga, but that's not exactly a commendation.
---------------------------
Ok, we're caught up.

What I like about chaindeath is that he often voices his suspicions in his [minimal] posts. What I don't like is that there is really no backing up his suspicions, and they might change from day to day without warning or provocation. They are scattered and have nothing to back them up.


Guys, chaindeath is bad. I think he does have enough substance to go on (thanks for the quality over quantity posts btw. It helps me read you better)

@ Quin

I never said I wanted to lynch Epi for information - I thought we had that out of the way a long time ago. The "fresh information" I mentioned was in regards to the night actions. We already cleared this, I don´t understand why you keep bringing it up as reasoning.

Also, do you think that using a whole day to argue about one players alignment with nobody changing their minds is ideal for town? I don´t, thats for sure. It happened yesterday until Gleam was lynched and I don´t want it to happen again. That said though, people have ceased discussion of Sig so its not as severe yet as I would have imagined. I don´t like that you take it as a baddie tell that Im advocating this, but I understand where you´re coming from nonetheless.

Regardless, I think Nero should be lynched on grounds that he's my partner, your partner, Enrique's partner, the Joker, the Riddler, the Gingerbread Man, and Toto.

Temporary votes count for purposes of The Traitor mechanism, so to answer your question, yes, The Don could have done that and it would have activated it.

This is the point. If you criticise and discredit others without a solution, it is not in any way helpful, but only serves to make others look bad.

You can check who wins how many games are won by each faction in the Hall of Fame. Since I've arrived at the site, at a quick glance (I didn't do the math) it appears to me civilians have won about 40% of games. When you consider that a great many of them have two mafia teams and so if such a game is balanced the civs would only win 33% of the time, its probably pretty much right where it should be.

Thanks Sock!

Well in that case, I think I know who the Sockface don is. And it's pretty obvious IMO. I will not be voting for that player anytime soon.

I would like to vote chaindeath/Quin tomorrow.

Also as I was combing through day 1 for gleam voters, I found that sig actually voted for chaindeath. That one made may just be a red herring, or else I think that is a point for sig in my book...

Night 4

The police (Rooooooxaaaaaanne!) were busy blending into the crowd at a popular night club. If anyone was paying enough attention they might catch their furtive glances around the room, small nods to each other and various other clues that would give away the fact they were in the middle of a sting operation.

Metalmarsh wasn't paying enough attention though. In fact, he was busy living it up. Let's just say it, he was drunk. They were hoping it might be a good chance for them to catch him slipping up, give away his role in the mob. They were unlucky so far. As The Marmot (as he was called on the streets) wrapped up his evening and stumbled out the his car, they kept watching, holding onto some slim hope. He fumbled with his keys before managing to get it unlocked and climb into the driver's seat.

"Got him!" the Chief exclaimed as they quickly rushed in, guns pulled. It might have just been for a DUI, but at least they could lock him up now.

------------------------------------------------------

As dawn broke in Syndicate Penitentiary, the Warden quickly realized something was amiss. He walked to the first cell in the block and called out to the prisoner he could see curled up under his covers. The prisoner didn't even stir. He banged on the bars with his night stick, no response. "Guard!" he barked to his subordinate, "get over here and unlock this door, NOW!"

Once the guard had unlocked the cell and slid the door open, the Warden stepped inside and jabbed at the lump on the bed, and then lifted the blanket only to discover that underneath there was nothing but a pillow. The Warden's face flushed red as his rage grew, "Search the prison, find out who else is missing!"

It was worse than he could have imagined, they had all escaped. It was a coordinated prison break!



Metalmarsh89 has been arrested by the Police. He was ?????.

All of the prisoners have escaped Syndicate Penitentiary!

It is now Day 5.

You have 48 hours to find a policeman. Good luck, goons!

Seems we have a prisoner influx on our hands. :mafia:

Please note these rules for prisoners:


Prisoner Rules
Please take utmost note of these rules regarding prisoner activity in the main game subforum. Violations will be swiftly and severely punished.

1) No role outing of yourself or anyone else. If you had a past life in the main game, don't talk about it or hint at it in any regard. At all. Unless you want to die and get your faction punished.
2) No identity outing of yourself or anyone else (i.e., MovingPictures07).
3) If you had BTSC in the main game or with your cellmate in prison, don't resume it. If you're a prisoner, you have no BTSC.
4) You may, however, alignment claim truthfully or falsely, although it is not necessarily recommended.
5) You may also discuss any events or discussions which transpired in the Prison Yard threads.
6) No discussing cell-related events or discussions.


If you have questions not answered by these rules, or if you have questions about the rules, let us hosts know. Have fun with your new playmates. :feb:

ika assumes sloon is a don based on the failed arrest. Meaning he knows who was failed to be arrested, which he, theoretically, shouldn't know.

Please provide the fullest context you can -- not just the post itself but the variables of relevance to include roles, game events, et cetera... I need to know everything about ika's post and why it's a problem before I can render judgment.

Hello, Matt. Pleasure to meet you. Unfortunately, I will have to "catch up" before assessing this Ika you speak of. You see, they didn't give us any reading material in prison. That Warden fellow is a tough character. In my past life as an evil genius bent on global domination, he'd have made a good henchman. But I have turned over a "new leaf" you see. I want to use my evil genius skills to hunt down evil rather than support it.

Well, most recently, we had a competition based on 15 quotes from this thread, and we had to decide who said each one. It was our third challenge, and it won us our chance to have this prison break! We needed to get ten out of fifteen quotes correct, and we got... 10/15. :D

Prison break!! :omg: *locks up her valuables* :p


What has happened so far:
We have been playing an internet game where everyone receives a random role. Even though everyone is friends, some are supposed to kill others, so some arguing and accusations go flying. Some people died, some ended up in prison, some are now free while others are still dead. And voila - it is today. :nicenod:


Scotty, thanks for the ISO of chaindeath. I will stew on it, maybe do an ISO myself.


Also as a heads up - I will be out of town Saturday and Sunday, so will likely not have any time / access to mafia or do anything else online. I'll check when EoD is, but it's my guess I won't be here for any last minute craziness this time anyway. That will make some of you happy! :p :D




Also, @MP, I agree with pretty much your entire assessment there.

I recall gleam being a hot topic of discussion earlier in the game... I see you lynched him and he was a Civ. What conclusions have people drawn from that?

That baddies would have been resistant to move from the gleam wagon to the Fuzz wagon, so it ups the likelihood that people who did are civs, on average.

The circumstances of the prison yard are inconsequential, really. A lot of 3-on-3 basketball, weightlifting, staring at the walls. Pretty standard really. Then an opportunity came about for us to earn our way out here to you, in which I played a somewhat important role. I'd like to use these skills to help you "covvies" emerge bictorious.
