Re: Dr. Who Mafia! - Day 0
I'm worried now because I think I do this a lot and people must think I'm bad for it. Does what I've done to this post constitute cropping? I tend to chop bits out of quotes that I don't have anything to say to or aren't relevant to the conversation I want to have, mainly for ease of reading and so people know exactly what I'm talking about. Especially if I only want to respond to like three sentences out of an MP-scale post. It's not nefarious, just convenient.S~V~S wrote: Especially on this site, where we can't link to the original post via the quote.

Re: Dr. Who Mafia! - Day 0
I think of it as cutting a line out of a paragraph, or out of a single persons post. I cut out other peoples quotes too
Like I said it is my opinion, that's all. I would not have brought it up again, but Dom asked.

Re: Dr. Who Mafia! - Day 0
Wow - and this is only day 0. Just catching up and providing some thoughts.
As a non-whovian I appreciate whatever information I can get on the characters in this game that comes from the tv show. I did not know the Master could regenerate but I did know Dr. Who does because it seems to be the cause of much angst in my Whovian friends. So I didn't see anything odd about zeeks post. I'm also wondering if now people will be reluctant to share details that may be important about the tv show.
I also see MP as normal MP right now. I usually can't tell about him until later in the game but he does seem to jump on seemingly small things early. Or make up theories about things that seem off base, even when he's civ. So, I'm not thinking he is bad at this point in time.
This is not going to be a favorable opinion but I see the whole thing as much to do about nothing. I don't think Dr. Who was left out of the regeneration conversation for a nefarious reason and I don't think MP has found a baddie behavior. Maybe part of my feeling is I know all too well how easy it is to say something that is taken wrong and be seen as a baddie because of it.

No matter how successful anyone is, it means just about nothing.

Re: Dr. Who Mafia! - Day 0
JC's post reminded me of something I wanted to say earlier but got distracted by skerry clowns. *shivers*
I know there are a few people playing this game that are unfamiliar with Dr. Who. If you have any questions about things because you don't know the history, please don't hesitate to direct a question towards the hosts or shoot us a PM.
We will not reveal info that can spoil secrets but like this last case, I feel ok with saying that because both the Doctor and the Master are the same race, they both possess the power of regeneration in the show. Your guess isn't quite as good as mine as to whether or not either or both of them possess this power in the game.
Cool?

Re: Dr. Who Mafia! - Day 0
Folks, FYI I will look into the permissions oddness further once I'm done with classes for the day.
I'm only "over the top" because everyone else is under the top.
I don't understand why people keep commenting on this matter as if I'm crusading zeek to be bad. Far from it. Lol. I just was so anxious to get discussion going once I found something I thought was worth commenting on.
So apparently I'm the only one who read zeek's post that way then?
I can't help but think all the casual defending of zeek makes me wonder if I'm actually onto something, but it's probably much more likely that I'm just insane and my probability of being right with my observation of zeek's intentions is essentially equivalent to my "being right" that I was going to hit a "baddie" on the dart board when it was really just random chance. That said, I believe what I believe, and if others don't find my content worth considering, that's fine, but I will express what I think because I want to find baddies.
Nonetheless! As Rox observed, it is true that if I don't find absolutely anything else of note between now and the end of D1 that I'm incredibly likely to vote zeek, even if my read on him is extremely slight, but somehow I highly doubt that's going to happen. There is plenty of time for others.
Personally, I haven't seen anything off about Dana just yet, nor anyone else, but I'll be sure to let the thread know when I do.
I love playing mafia games with you, but simultaneously it's definitely a real love/hate thing because I'm positive you have a better track record of reading me (as could be expected) than almost anyone... you pretty much sunk me D1 last game, you!!!Spacedaisy wrote:Oh one more thing! I have not gotten any Baddie vibes from MP so far, though it is early. It doesn't usually take too long for his Baddie self to shine through when he is not civ. and I think this thing with Dana is just a case of misreading him because she is not used to his play style. He can be over the top sometimes.... Or pretty much all the time!

Re: Dr. Who Mafia! - Day 0
Oh and yes - to whomever asked it: The picture in the roles list is a picture of Peter Capaldi, the current (12) Doctor.
I belong to a Dr Who forum, and I gotta say a) those guys are even more like LP's main forumers than LP ever was and b) I learned a lot about Capaldi's role in Thick of It and censorship. Apparently the producers had to go to the beeb like weekly to negotiate what was in and what wasn't. As in, if we get rid of this boob shot, we can allow Tucker to say Fuck three more times.
Ok - off to work back tonight!

I have never seen a single episode of Dr. Who, nor do I know anything about it.
BUT! David Tennant is my favourite (modern) Hamlet, so he will get my vote.
I will also vote for number 5, because 5 is a dignified and beautiful number.

Also, MP on Day 1 is always so fishy, he might as well be sockgills.

EBWOP: Isn't that just how you're supposed to play the game?
I find the reluctant attitude of some people a bit bothersome, but not necessarily suspicious, especially considering it's not even technically Day 1 yet.
And I'm really beginning to wonder if I've hit a nerve, even if apparently my observation was minute and appears to have been explained poorly.

Third post in a row, sorry, but that post by MM just got my ping detector buzzing and it's irksome. It just seems like a way to blend in with the general consensus that apparently no one should pay attention to what I'm saying, which is fine, whatever, if you guys think my content is worthless that's totally your opinion, but it's like, really? How is the fact that I've clearly stated an observation of an interpretation of intentions I found to be possibly suspicious, suspicious?

I'm not saying I do find you suspicious yet, but I'll answer your question by playing devil's advocate.MovingPictures07 wrote:Seriously, people, answer me this: What is suspicious about pursuing something I detected to be possibly insincere?
It's pretty early in the game. Day 0, to be precise, so technically the game hasn't started yet. So it'd be pretty reasonable to say that there isn't much of anything to go on at the moment. Therefore, your early enthusiasm could very well be merely an attempt at appearing like an enthusiastic civvie.
TL;DR: you could be doing a wine-in-front-of-me thing.
At this stage I don't find anyone suspicious. I don't blame MP or Epi or indeed myself ( ) for trying, but I just don't see it yet.
@canuck: I'm sure somebody else can better answer your question, but I believe the answer is no, you don't need to have watched the original series, and that the reboot is labeled season 1 (2005).

Only bit that isn't completely explained by the reboot is Sarah Jane's role I'd say. But even then you can get the gist.Canucklehead wrote:Question: Can I start watching Dr. Who with just the "reboot"? Or do I need to watch the originals? Where/when does the "reboot" start?

If anyone wants to know my mafia record, I'll provide it.

For the record, MP pricked my ears up with his take on my post but I don't know if he's just misguided. He's certainly not helping find the real baddies by banging on about this again and again.
I've noticed the Face of Boe can fact check every night, so... I am a civ.

Keys is a sell-out anything for another cool tshirt lol!
I never said what MP did was suspicious - I believe it to be his norm. I expected him to do it if that makes sense. He now sees poss teamies/defenders from all of this which is also quite the norm. I never wnt him to stop bc somtimes he is right - maybe he is this time idk its too soon for me to tell.
HOSTS! - when will the day end out of curiousity?

Re: Dr. Who Mafia! - Day 0
Well, that seems to be true, but people are saying I apparently smell of fish, which is absolutely ridiculous and insulting if you ask me.Enrique wrote:Right. Nobody said MP was bad.
But seriously, I got the impression that zeek may believe I'm bad, but he hasn't really come out and said it.
No, totally fair, you're right. Which is why I believe I've been more than clear in specifying that my ping involved with zeek's post was pretty minor.keys56000000000 wrote:I'm not saying I do find you suspicious yet, but I'll answer your question by playing devil's advocate.MovingPictures07 wrote:Seriously, people, answer me this: What is suspicious about pursuing something I detected to be possibly insincere?
It's pretty early in the game. Day 0, to be precise, so technically the game hasn't started yet. So it'd be pretty reasonable to say that there isn't much of anything to go on at the moment. Therefore, your early enthusiasm could very well be merely an attempt at appearing like an enthusiastic civvie.
TL;DR: you could be doing a wine-in-front-of-me thing.
At this stage I don't find anyone suspicious. I don't blame MP or Epi or indeed myself ( ) for trying, but I just don't see it yet.
@canuck: I'm sure somebody else can better answer your question, but I believe the answer is no, you don't need to have watched the original series, and that the reboot is labeled season 1 (2005).
But I think what I'm trying to emphasize is that I don't expect anyone to necessarily believe I'm civvie. That's ridiculous. Even though I know I am, how is anyone else to know that? My point, rather, being that why is it fishy for someone to speculate on insincerity this early in the game?
Of course, now it has been revealed that perhaps I took MM's comment WAY too seriously, but... whatever.
Oh, LOL, I totally misinterpreted your tone, my bad. I just was bothered that someone would seriously try to equate my behavior to being fishy this early on.Metalmarsh89 wrote:I had meant to put the line in sarcastic orange, but I was quick-posting from my phone.MovingPictures07 wrote:Third post in a row, sorry, but that post by MM just got my ping detector buzzing and it's irksome.

How is the fact that I've clearly stated an observation of an interpretation of intentions I found to be possibly suspicious, suspicious?
Just let that sink in for a bit.
I hate getting too into the game too quickly. You never really can tell who's scum baddie-hunting and who's just playing along.
Well, that's fair and true, but one has to make some attempt, correct? I mean, it's almost never truly known with 100% confidence or anything even close who's bad or not, and while I agree it's often nearly impossible to tell with anything degree of certainty this early, that doesn't mean it's impossible nor does it mean that people shouldn't try.
Bit of an overreaction? "Helping discussion is going to get them lynched"?

My initial ping may be viewed as insane or ridiculous, but some of what you're saying just doesn't sit right.
Re: Dr. Who Mafia! - Day 0
The reboot starts with Christopher Eccleston, and it's usually referred to as "Series 1". You definitely don't need to have watched the earlierDoctors, but it would help to get some background on them. I would at least suggest you watch "An Unearthly Child", the very first Who episode ever.Canucklehead wrote:Question: Can I start watching Dr. Who with just the "reboot"? Or do I need to watch the originals? Where/when does the "reboot" start?
I think this MP/zeek stuff is probably civ/civ. MP is acting exactly like he always does, so I'm not pinged at all by his behavior. I don't know zeek, so I can't really read him, but I don't feel he was being overly defensive.

EBWOP And if I'm certainly not helping to find real baddies by banging on this again and again, which I've been MORE than clear in the fact that it was initially a very slight ping, then what are you doing to catch baddies? And what is everyone else doing for that matter?

Re: Dr. Who Mafia! - Day 0
But anyway, I think everyone knows my current thoughts on the matter; I'll give you the BOTD, zeek, for now, especially since I have no idea what your posting style is like. Feel free to address my points, but I don't want to domineer the thread discussion completely on just us and what everyone else thinks of us. I'm going to take a step back and see what I actually think after I spend the rest of the day on essays and such and the thread has more of a chance to develop and properly start D1 (it's starting today, right?)

Re: Dr. Who Mafia! - Day 0
I'm saying we have to be smarter than repeating the same thing over and over.

I said I don't know about you. I was not even remotely ambigious about that. I just don't get your game. What is the point of this? You say you're not after me but you are. Anything and everything I say or related to me only increases your suspicion. You've made your mind up it seems and let's not pretend otherwise. It's one thing getting people talking, it's another to hone in on one player and use everything said as backing up your nonsense. If people agreed, there'd be a consensus I was bad and if they didn't, they defending me.
Point in case, my civ statement. Every game I've ever played with an LD, every single person has said this. And because I'm on this site and say it suddenly it's suspicious. Awesome. Really making me want to play here. "If you're really a civvie" is a cop out.
I'm busy defending myself from really forced suspicions cast my way. Can't get a real hunt going until it's over. And it is. I'm pretty much done responded to you because, honestly, this is ridiculous. You've made your mind up already and you're using whatever you can to convince youself I'm bad.

It seems like mafia wins most games, is that just this site or in general? I like your logic though, being smart about things is the best strategy.

Are we allowed to do this? I said in my first game that I thought it was weird when people told others they were civ, but if there's a fact checking role, then I feel like people who don't say it will be targeted more. Maybe?
Linki- MP why can't they check statements like that? I assumed that was the point of that role.

Civvie
Baddie
Mafia
Townie
Good
Bad
Etc.
Ld's need to be creative when checking statements.

Re: Dr. Who Mafia! - Day 0
Dammit, I just can't keep away. :P
Alright, zeek, that's fine -- I'll drop it for now. Maybe I am giving you a harder time than everyone else. I'm willing to see how things play out and keep an open mind. But I will not let something go if I truly believe I'm onto something. I take the chance that I'm wrong, but I'd feel worse if I let it go and it turns out I was right.
And it appears there are just some cultural differences, but that said, when you refer to "this site", there really are different subcultures mixed into the members of this site because there are people from the STV and LP days, there are others from PA (a music forum) that I brought over, and all sorts of places, so there may not be an overarching site culture when it comes to what is suspicious with regards to certain things. I PERSONALLY think saying "I'm a civ" to prove that you're a civ with an LD role breaks the game, and this gets into Dana's question...
Dana, if the LD could fact check "I'm a civ", then every civvie could just say "I'm a civ", the baddies would be forced to say so as well, and it essentially breaks the game. In fact, I almost never see LD roles anymore because everyone would just come right out of the gate and say "I'm a civ" or "I have BTSC" and, personally, I hate LD roles with a passion, regardless of alignment. I think people abuse them too often and I just don't like their mechanic. But that's just my POV.
Personally, I feel a civvie doesn't need to go around convincing everyone that they're civ by exclaiming it as such, but that's more of the "newer" view and I realize many old timer players like Sorsha will say the same thing zeek just said, so I'm willing to chalk it up to a difference in perspective, but I can't help that it pings the crap out of me every time nonetheless. A civvie doesn't need to prove to him or herself or anyone else that they've civ by saying "I'm a civ" regardless of the existence of an LD role, they do it through their actions.
Also, regarding this site's town v. mafia win ratio, it's true that historically mafia or independents have won most of the full games so far, but for speed games if I recall correctly it's closer to 50/50, or at least 40/60. There are varying theories as to why mafia have won mostly in full games so far, such as inactive civvies, easily manipulated civvies, overpowered baddie teams, too much confusion in the game setup which led to a baddie advantage, etc. I personally don't feel there have been any particularly glaring issues with overpowering, and I feel the explanation is likely a case by case scenario.
And lastly, zeek, I hope you feel incredibly welcome here, despite my initial steamrolling against you -- it's mafia, it's not personal. I don't intend to make you feel uncomfortable or unwelcome, but at the same time I don't want to give newcomers a pass necessarily if I think they're behaving suspiciously. But I realize how it feels to be railroaded (I get lynched ALL the time, and sometimes early, especially in full games, so I know how it feels), so I'm willing to try to approach more rationally. I don't want to keep harping on this unnecessarily. But I will vote however I see fit, and I don't expect anyone else to follow me, because I certainly have not built any sort of case on zeek being bad. Anyone who tries to piggyback off of that as an easy lynch surely will get my eye because I've not argued that. I'm actually glad to see someone else who apparently likes to push discussion because we need more players like that, IMO.
Now, see you folks later!

Re: Dr. Who Mafia! - Day 0
If it's any help... at STV, every single person said "I'm a civvie" and it was considered suspicious to not say it. I'm honestly really surprised that Rox failed to point this out. :hmm:zeek wrote:I'm not going to pretend to be an expert, but in my experience the town usually wins.

I'm not trying to defend zeek here. I honestly have no idea if he is bad, but mafia was played a bit differently on STV, so much so that players from here like Kate and SVS had a bit of trouble there. But yea, that's kind of how the games started. Your first post would be like "yay game I'm a townie." And they were big on suspicion lists. And we didn't have polls. And dead players weren't allowed to post at all. That's all I can think of for now.

Yeah, in the older games, pretty much everyone would make an overt statement as their first post. It kinda kills the fun. I do make overt checkable statements if I am taking suspicion, though.

Re: Dr. Who Mafia! - Day 0
Mafia on STV wasn't fun, at all. Lol. *shudders*
Oh god I hated those "HURR 100% CIVVIE DEERRP!" roll call days. I remember once I wrote "100% mafia" just to break the monotony. I figured it would work the same, the LD would check it and it'd come up false, so no harm done, but the rest of the players didn't see things that way, and I was promptly lynched.
Starting to remember why I stopped playing this game in the first place! Ha!
Anyway, looking forward to Day 1.

I'm pretty sure you meant to say "you and BWT pretty much sunk me", so I'll ignore that obvious oversight. :PMovingPictures07 wrote:I love playing mafia games with you, but simultaneously it's definitely a real love/hate thing because I'm positive you have a better track record of reading me (as could be expected) than almost anyone... you pretty much sunk me D1 last game, you!!!Spacedaisy wrote:Oh one more thing! I have not gotten any Baddie vibes from MP so far, though it is early. It doesn't usually take too long for his Baddie self to shine through when he is not civ. and I think this thing with Dana is just a case of misreading him because she is not used to his play style. He can be over the top sometimes.... Or pretty much all the time!
