I still don't like Puddy.

One minute later:

David Puddy wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2017 9:34 am Jerry, I don't trust Mr. Soup. Something isn't right with him. I think he's going to hell.

The question posed for Soup Nazi is fine. Before it could resolve into anything though, I'm being fed (I was specifically addressed) a very vague negative read on Soup Nazi. I don't know why it exists beyond "something isn't right with him". That is nothing.

Soup Nazi strikes me as the easiest player in the thread to suspect right now for a few reasons:

He's been combative and irritable -- true to the character's nature. He hasn't been thorough in his explanations of his suspicions. People get mislynched in every game for reasons like these. I want someone to tell me what Soup Nazi is guilty of which cannot also be said for half the player roster.

Later:

David Puddy wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2017 9:37 am There are a lot of quiet players though. That doesn't sit right with me either. Lots of quiet players means there are probably some hell-goers lying low and good people not helping. No high fives for them.

More vague suspicion, this time directed at some unnamed grouping of "quiet players". Too easy. This looks like a player trying to look like he's doing something, not a player who's doing something.

1) No. Newman led the tally with 3 votes and my vote was alone on Puddy. I moved to Newman at the last second to assure the final decision would be civilian-controlled.

2) What is the motivation for your question?

Potential throwaway votes against each other (because we had a clear victim with votes stacked up against Newman) "backed up" by phony talk in the thread. I guess we will see how they vote in the future.

You know Leo, sometimes you drive me nuts, but this? This is good. This is real good.

Real good? Jerry, this is not real good. There was no clear victim when I voted, and my vote was certainly not a throwaway. When I voted, I made it a three-way tie.

Your agreement with your uncle is fake, Jerry. Fake, fake, fake, fake, fake.

What was "real good" was Uncle Leo's provision of a unique element of hunting into the game. It made him look "real good". Reference my ensuing reads list.

What doesn't look "real good" is you making a scene about it here, hurling back indignant accusations at me. It reeks of CFTWR (caught for the wrong reasons).

Jackie Chiles wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2017 3:40 pmWhy thank you, Mr Seinfeld! Though I agree on Frank Costanza, I don't think the courts would side with you over Estelle - unless you mean to just prod her. In my experience, someone bad will often try to get suspicion in there, on the record. Estelle strikes me as a civilian who is disoriented, perplexed, and bewildered.

Could be. Here's why I don't agree. She used the word "villa" to describe her read on me. This term is distinct to the Mafia Universe sphere of influence, and that implies there is at least some mafia experience behind that sock -- perhaps even someone relatively new to our site here (welcome if so!). So I doubt there's much to be bewildered about beyond just role play. I cannot readily identify a reason to trust her at the moment.

Come on guys, play the game or I'm going to have to go read lines from those awful scenes with Isabel. I swear, it's a war between my genitals and my brain with her.

...and they're spectacular tier:
Uncle Leo
Jackie Chiles

This feels like the good side of role play tier:
George Steinbrenner
The Soup Nazi

The yada-yada tier:
J Peterman
George Costanza
Kramer
Kenny Bania

What's up with _____ tier:
Estelle Costanza
Frank Costanza
Elaine Benes
David Puddy

The worst thing about a crappy Day 1 isn't that it's hard to decide who to vote for. It's that there's close to nothing to analyze about it beyond basically randomized voting. Moving forward we're an entire day phase behind the mafia now, and not just because a civilian was lynched.

Let's do better, or we're not winning this game. It's not good enough.

Look at all this shameful verbal compensating for lynching a citizen.

You are up to no good.

"Verbal compensating"? What is that?

Day 1 was garbage, and civilians usually lose when they don't try. If it doesn't change the game is already over. It's annoying enough that I've had to break role play numerous times now as the namesake character just to make the thread move.

Talk to me about Puddy immediately. I don't care about your soup ban.

Oh fine. Voting Newman.

Alright, nobody's going to talk about this guy? I'm gonna have to talk about this guy.

I find your assertion egregious, unscrupulous, and atrocious! A clear case of prejudicial name-alignment-assignment.

Yeah, that's right.

This guy is taking "a game about nothing" too literally.

Incorrect. I'm an upstanding member of society.

"Incorrect." It's so robotic! It's so fake! This guy used my move!

Well spit it out people, what's the deal with Puddy?

Of the people with more than one vote, I could lynch Newman or Soup Nazi. Not lynching Big Stein.

How about Puddy though? What is it with this guy?

Jackie Chiles wrote: ↑Mon Oct 09, 2017 7:34 pm Marlene, Vanessa, Laura.... you got a problem sticking with one woman, Seinfeld?

I'm going out with Donna tomorrow. Why do you feel good about Kramer, Jackie?

Just a pitiful Day 1. I could have spent the evening with my girlfriend Marlene. Jesus.

I'm going back to Puddy. This guy, stealing my move, using it on my own ex-girlfriend, what the hell is that? Also, his posts are nothing and his response to my first attack was nothing.

I'm not voting for Elaine because this is the best role play post in the thread so far.

Steinbrenner has made an effort to move the game forward however he can in this puny game thread without breaking character. That's the point of hurling accusations and moving votes around. I don't think he's a good lynch.

Newman wrote: ↑Mon Oct 09, 2017 6:51 pm I'm joining the anti-Yankees bunch for suspicion and survival reasons. Still have my eyes on Jerry though.

Well out with it, Newman! What's the problem, what's the deal? What do you suspect about Steinbrenner?

I have a suspicion about who Soup Nazi is. If so, the act is entirely null.

I've moved to Newman, who didn't provide anything in those few posts.

The Soup Nazi wrote: ↑Mon Oct 09, 2017 5:39 pmDisgraceful woman, as expected. Go away, you're keeping the line. OUT!

Lecturing someone on nitpicking for a vote, then using pure roleplay to plant a meaningless one on me. Typical American heathen.

Moves immediately to the right

Holds out money

In a loud, clear voice:

Split pea. Do you suspect Elaine?

Steps to the left

Awaits soup

Elaine Benes wrote: ↑Mon Oct 09, 2017 5:18 pmSo now you're finding fault on a sub-atomic level.

Maybe if I could shrink myself down, like in Fantastic Voyage, and get inside a microscopic submarine, I could be sure. Although if there was something there, it might be pretty scary. Course, I would have that laser.



Someone's gotta go! Who's it gonna be, Elaine?

Oh come on! Be sensible.

and since when did we ever trust an attorney

That slander is barbed, blatant, belligerent! Why are you calling into question my sensibility? Have I given cause to be called unsensible? Are you a sensibility expert?

Well alright, Jackie, you said your piece. Now what do you have to offer? Who's it gonna be? Who's gotta go?

Jackie Chiles wrote: ↑Mon Oct 09, 2017 3:21 pmDoes anyone know what the previous MP sockpuppet game was? Futurama? Who were the Mafia in that game?

Parks and Rec and Futurama. Characters and alignment are never related, it's randomized. The Syndicate users who were mafia:

Futurama - Silverwolf, Epignosis, agleaminranks

Parks and Rec - bea, BigDamnHero, Spacedaisy

Why do you ask?

Kramer wrote: ↑Mon Oct 09, 2017 3:14 pm Well Jerry, you know, that's a real noodle scratcher...

I've gotta tell you, I've got my eye on that Steinbrenner. He just latched right in on Uncle Leo. What kind of person takes advantage of a guy just because of his name? That's not right.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go fill my freezer with my blood.

That seems like a pretty basic observation. Are you really parsing through this material adequately?



I will freak out on you, Kramer.

I gotta get out of here, I've got a date with Vanessa. Let's get going though, right? What's with you people?

Kramer wrote: ↑Mon Oct 09, 2017 2:47 pmJerry, I'm hurt that you would say something like that. Hasn't all this time together meant anything to you?? Boy, just when you think you know a guy. You know my friend Bob Sacramento would never say something like that.

Listen, Jerry, you gotta keep me around. Trust me, you'll be glad you did.

Jerry, I know myself. When I'm out there, and it starts to go down, I'm not gonna back down 'til it's over.

Well alright then, Kramer, who's it gonna be?

Voting Kramer. I might know who Bania is and if I'm right I am less concerned with "hi" and "ok". Kramer's just posted a couple gifs words-free. No pressure, easy-going.

Of the people who've posted, I'm most willing to lynch Bania or Kramer.

I can't tolerate anyone with the George role failing to show up and role play. Vote.

Hello... Newman.

"Oh, I'm in a sock, so that means nobody knows who I am and I can feel secure about doing nothing all game long."

David Puddy is confirmed mafia.

No no, Bania. You're going to say more than that. This is the mafia game.

Alright people, let's go, chop chop.

Hey, what's the story? I hear you're doing my move.

I gotta vote for this guy. Can't even fix my car and he's doing my move.

I got a date with Laura tonight. I'm outta here.

Do you know what this is all about? Do you know why we're here?

To be playing mafia, this is playing. And playing is one of the single most enjoyable experiences of life.

You know how many people talk about "we should go play mafia"? This is what they're talking about.

This whole thing, we're all playing mafia now, no one is doing something else. Not one person here is doing something else, we're all playing mafia.

There are people trying to spend time with us, they don't know where we are.

"Did you rea --"

"I can't find 'em"

"Where'd they go?"

"They didn't tell me what they were doing."

"They must be playing mafia."

You wanna play mafia, you get ready, you sign up to play, you check your role card, get all ready...

You open the thread, you read the posts, you see the jokes, accusations, and assertions.

And you're standing around, whaddya do, you go "we gotta be doing something else."

Once you're playing mafia you wanna be doing something else.

You wanna go to sleep, you wanna get up, you wanna play mafia again tomorrow right?

Wherever you are in life, it's my feeling, you've gotta play.
