Ricochet is doing exactly what he was expected to do, he's going to release a list of information that everyone already knows, but I hope he does it dramatically. Like in a really cool way. I hope he wears a big red velvet cape when he does it, and maybe some cool shades.

Ok you may not want an apology but I need to explain my own actions.

Basically I've had problems with players not playing to win in other games in the past, in the other forum I play in. Suffice to say it has really frustrated me because it ended up deciding games, so I have a bone to pick with it.

I also regard this site as, believe or not, the hardcore mafia site compared to the other one (yes I know you guys are super casual, but if you saw the some of the people I have to deal with there you'd get it). So I was very disheartened when I tried to make a move against the primes and was met with opposition out of loyalty to them, and even more disheartened when I came here, saw the last 12 hours' posts, and realized Phase 2 is probably over before it even began.

I don't have any personal grudge against the primes and I actually love them all for making this game more fun then it would have been otherwise. I just wanted to keep playing it myself. Thought it would have been more fun with two factions clashing each other, even.

Anyway, even considering all the above I made 3 mistakes here:

1- The most important one, I acted like an asshat. I don't have the right to treat anyone like I treated Daisy today, and I apologize from the bottom of my heart to it. I could see her getting offended as I wrote those posts and I did it anyway because I let my anger get the best of me. And Daisy is a good friend of mine so I'm feeling like garbage for it.

2- I made it about the forum. Which not only breaks the game's immersion, but is very improper from my part because I'm a mod here, so I should respect the place that I am modding, and all the friends I've made here.

3- I didn't wait for the game to end first, which is kind of stupid because I don't even know for sure which one of the people in that Chatzy is Daisy. Yeah.

So from now on I'm not going to argue with Daisy or anyone about this. Maybe discuss the subject after the game ends (could be an interesting topic for The Lounge), if I feel like I can do it without being an asshat. Also I'm taking a break from this game for today to see if I can cool off.

Sorry again to everyone and especially to Daisy, and thanks for putting up with me, guys.

And I say later because my head is boiling right now.

I need to cool off.

Long Con wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2017 10:22 am Ok, first of all... I'm the Graphic Design guy, not an Administrator. I don't take responsibility for anything on this site. I was a Mod once, and I was being asked to do a whole bunch of stuff, and to have responsibilities, and I didn't want to do any of it! So I was the laziest, worst Mod. Eventually, I admitted that I was the wrong guy for the job, and now I head the "graphics department" which is mostly me making winner banners occasionally.

SECOND: I gave you the wrong impression - I want to win, me and my team... which I guess are the same entity for the sake of winning. I just know that there is a factor already in play that makes my death more likely than most of yours. I think you know that I have been playing hard to win this for weeks. That hasn't changed. A REAL win is way better than the "personal win" I spoke of earlier.

I wasn't talking about you.

I realize I probably overdid it tho. I let my anger get the best of me.

I'll write a more complete apology later. Right now suffice to say I'm sorry Daisy. I don't want this game to jeopardy my friendship with you, even if I'm angry at you for it.

Which means I would be very disappointed if the administrator of Mafia fucking Syndicate signed up for a game and lost it on purpose.

@G-Man

Dead players can win right?

I thought that was a given.

ALL MEMBERS OF THE WINNING TEAM WILL RECEIVE WIN CREDIT UNLESS ANY OF THEM WERE EGREGIOUS IN SLACKING OFF DURING STAGE 2.

Thank you.

I like to believe once you sign up for a game of mafia you are signing a contract that says you will try to win it.

I have no respect for people who do not uphold that contract. They have no right to call themselves mafia players. I would rather have people sign up and not post. At least they are not destroying a game I designed with love and care.

I mean, otherwise all those teams are meaningless.

Wait

[mention]G-Man[/mention]

Dead players can win right?

I thought that was a given.

So you are banking the game on Daisy purposely losing a mafia game she signed up for 3 months ago?

So I want to die maybe. I'm stuck at a team that can't do anything and it sucks.

All that whining and yet the flu is still going.

I'll do it for an extra night kill.

Does MP still want it tho? Everyone's roles changed...

I hate playing multiple games at once but this one isn't affecting me at all when I do it.

Me too. It's fun in its own crazy way. It's just sad to see other games being frozen in the queue while this one gets 10 posts a day.

Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Sun Oct 22, 2017 4:46 pm And after that it's my Image Mafia.

(That's assuming some people don't come back from the dead, though)

Like Mountain Mafia only needs 8 more people. And after that it's my Image Mafia. I'm going to market the hell out of Image Mafia with people I know.

Also this game could really use 24 hour days. I've suggested it to Gman once and he didn't agree, but I want to insist. Shorter phases don't make people more likely to miss votes imo, because it's not like this game takes a lot of reading even with 48 hour phases. It could increase interest in the game instead of lowering it.

Ricochet wrote: ↑Sun Oct 22, 2017 3:25 pm As for this game, y'all keep removing powerful killer roles, then wonder why it takes us three months to even get to the "last" phase.

And y'all that do have those powerful killer roles, keep asking to have them removed the second you get them.

Because that's what this game called Mafia is about, right?

If this were a game with only one death and you'd receive a flamethrower to use, you'd surrender right away, right?

If this were a game with only one death and you'd roll a vanilla, you'd quit right away, right?

No? Oh is it because this is a game with up to nine lives left? Huh.

I've spent 14 cycles trying to reach my role goal and I would have even failed miserably halfway through and died, if it weren't for one of Jack's tarot cards to make me immortal.

Times I confessed who I was?

Times I requested to be lynched, because my role was too supakill?

Times I gave up?

Zero.

Times I flipped my shit, out of eagerness to accomplish my role, when I was caught off guard by those countdown exemption shenanigans?

One.

I know juliets has a soft heart and I'm 100% aware she has far bigger concerns right now than staying alive with a deadly active role in a game played on the internets, but I still resent how she put down her weapons seconds after the swap - not to mention 14 cycles after I stayed alive to accomplish something with that same deadly role.

I get the Button Pusher threw a wrench in that, but that's actual game countering and shenanigans and all. Instead, this "lynch me lynch me" and "remove me my role is too deadly" and "let's speed up things, but no wait, let's actually kill the roles that can speed up things" bullsuittery is not, is beyond un-mafia-like and it's the only thing we managed to think of during, to quote a stranger

DharmaHelper wrote: ↑Sun Oct 22, 2017 1:12 pm 19 Days/Nights jesus

Rant over.

Ok I won't comment on the Juliets thing. I knew exactly what I was doing when I voted for her.

I just want to say: there should be no reason for this game to hold other games hostage. It takes minimal effort since there is no scumhunting to be done. I can play other games while playing this one and not feel overwhelmed at all. Mind you, this isn't to say this game is bad, just that it doesn't work like a normal mafia game so it doesn't require the same usage of time to play it well.

This goes for everyone, not just you. The fact MK is stalled makes no sense, right now we should be acting as if there is no Full Game going on, not like we are waiting for Chicka Chicka to end so we can start MK. I've even said in the Mod Forum that we should allow MK to start before Chicka ends, and some people agreed. Alternatively, we could be rushing into signing up for Mountain or Pirate since we could easily start either this week if we wanted to. Just the people currently playing Chicka Chicka should be enough.

Of course, I don't want to be a dick and push busy people into playing more games, but if you have reserved some of your free time for Chicka Chicka, you should consider there is a good chance this game isn't really using up that time and you could be playing another game alongside it.

Just making a request for everyone. Thanks.

You can always sign up for other games in the meantime. I've stopped taking this game into consideration when planning what games I sign up for a long time ago.

Doesn't the flu disappear if we just lynch you?

does it? I thought you got it if you vote for me. Let me see if I can copy what it says:
Alias: The Asymptomatic Carrier
Source: The Asian Flu Pandemic came to an end in 1958, after claiming over two million lives worldwide
Member Of: Evil Evens
Power Type: Passive Ability
Role Description: You are infected with a deadly strain of influenza but aren’t hurt by it. Every person you vote for will become infected. You will also infect every player who targets you with a day or night power. Anyone you infect will, in turn, infect anyone they vote for and any player using a night or day power on them. Once 2/3 of all players have become infected, one player will die each day. Two day phases after #58 dies, the virus will stop spreading but infected players will still be at risk of dying until the infection rate drops below 50%.

I would prefer to be lynched.

I don't know tbh, I'm guessing.

But we can try.

Also I have reasons to believe Rico was old flu.

I would be surprised if new 13 kept their role to themselves.

As much as INH complained about Speedchuck "coasting" new 13 may have bought themselves a win ticket. Why squander it by staying silent?

Because the chances you will be randomly night killed are pretty high.

What does "reassigned" mean?

Did 21 roles just get killed?

Or did they come back to the role poll?

Or were they redistributed among the players?

My current BTSC is kind of empty. I could use someone to chaty with.

Practical Numbers = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 20, 28, 32, 40, 56, 64, 80, 88, 100, SInister Sixes

Semiperfect Numbers = Sinister Sixes

Unless Gman decides to be merciful and not give us such a poll.

Basically forget about some organized plan to take out 13. Someone will have to take a risk they don't want to. Multiple people, actually.

Well I guess this is the side effect to the primes thing.

They don't get a kill...

and nobody else does.
