I certainly try. I've gotten better with experience, but I still seem to draw evil roles less frequently than the mean. I finally got my first real chance to spread my demon wings on The Syndicate recently, and it was a success -- but there are clear differences in my games between alignments that I've not yet fixed. Thankfully for me they seem to go unnoticed though.Dragon D. Luffy wrote:Not exactly. We want our bad metas to look like our civ metas, but a lot of us have civ metas not as thorough or pro-active as they can be, so the baddie counterpart to those metas are easier to make. We don't look that good all the time, so when we actually are bad, people don't detect it that easily.
But Jay? Like you said, he is the perfect civ. He is the town leader, the pro-active guy, the king of TL;DRs. And he tries to make his baddie meta look exactly like that (Ive never seen it myself, but he has described it that way). And that makes him a more dangerous baddie than most. Its harder to pull that metaboff successfully, but if he does it, we have a problem.
So I tend to be paranoid and avoid easily trustingnplayers like him. A good parallel to that is Marco from my forum, who plays a similar way.
One of my votes is covered. The other will go to someone who is overtly town in appearance.Scotty wrote:Linki: JJJ- honestly no wrinkles, but casual is fine.

I will be voting for two of these:
Bubbles
Elohcin
LoRab
nijuukyugou
rabbit8
Spacedaisy
S~V~S
I don't want it and Nutella says she doesn't either so I'll honor her wishes. If you are one of the ladies on this list and don't want to be chosen just say so.

What if you had the responsibility to be a well natured civ? Could I count on you?Dunny wrote:At this moment in time I'm willing to throw a vote Scotty way as the hilarity of his pitch has genuinely brightened up my bad day, still debating on where to put my second vote.
I know none of you really know me so I doubt anyone will vote for me, but if you don't that would be great. I don't handle responsibility too well haha
Me and well natured go hand in hand my friend, as well as good spirited and kind heartedScotty wrote:What if you had the responsibility to be a well natured civ?

This has a lot of commonly used ones:Dunny wrote: On a quick note is there any form of site or page where it gives you the run down on abbreviations for mafia? I was reading through a game on another site today and read WIFOM, it took me 15 minutes to realise what the hell was going on
It sounds fun. I trust myself more than I trust other people. I'm confident that I'll maintain as consistent an active presence in this game as I always do.DrWilgy wrote:JJJ, why would you be happy to serve as prefect?
I'm in New York.Bass_the_Clever wrote:On a serious note, where is everyone?
I'm so sorry to hear that, Bass. Hope her recovery is swift!Bass_the_Clever wrote:So, two weeks ago, Mom aka Roxy, fell on a broken step at her apartment and fractured her face in two places, and fractured her skull.

I've only played a two maybe 3 games with you in the past but you seemed to hold a lot of sway with people during those games. What's scares me is someone who holds that kind of sway and gets this power ends up being bad. Sorry for putting on my tin foil hat so fast, but this Is mafia.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:It sounds fun.

That's hilarious. Have also have so really sketch sorries involving homeless people. Also thanks she is back to work just sore. Good luck with the audition.Scotty wrote:I'm in New York.Bass_the_Clever wrote:On a serious note, where is everyone?
funny story: I just found a homeless man living in the bathroom of this high rise where im auditioning. He crawled out from under the stall while I was peeing and I didn't even finish before I booked it out to the lobby. Gotta love new york
Don't look behind you.Bass_the_Clever wrote:On a serious note, where is everyone?
I understand. I'm not going to put a great deal of energy into campaigning for myself. All I'll do is pledge to give my best effort, and state my appreciation to those who have voted for me.Bass_the_Clever wrote:I've only played a two maybe 3 games with you in the past but you seemed to hold a lot of sway with people during those games.

Also I hope your mum is okay, that sounds horrible
I wonder how many people look behind themselves after reading this post.
Hey, if you are town then I have no problem with you getting the power, but your word isn't good enough to make me think you are town at this point in the game. I voted two people who I have a hard time reading in games hoping this power makes it a little easier for me.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:I am considering however the potential that the paranoia about giving me more power is either rooted in or supported by people who don't want that power in my town hands.
Wow, I'm sorry. I hope she is feeling better now.Bass_the_Clever wrote:So, two weeks ago, Mom aka Roxy, fell on a broken step at her apartment and fractured her face in two places, and fractured her skull.

This is why I'd hold off on voting Golden:Glorfindel wrote:Working on the assumption that a 'Prefect' is a position of some significant authority and influence, can anyone explain to me why Golden only has one vote? I mean SERIOUSLY? He was (is?) The Syndicate's representative at the Mafia Championships. He won a s#*^load of awards on this site this year (including The Syndicate MVP). He has demonstrated an ability for intelligent analysis and shown that he has the courage of his convictions (from my experience of him in Arkham Mafia). On top of all that, he's just a really nice guy... If anyone out there is still undecided, I'll be voting for him and for the reasons stated, I think you should too.

The sooner this game starts the better for my schedule, since I go from being fucking busy to FUCKING BUSY.
Golden wrote:So, basically, this is going to start when the Champs finale does.
You are seriously going to see the most ill-informed, quiet, passive golden you have ever seen in your life!
Wilgy and Marmot are still bad, though, count on it

I'll put my hand up for this! This is the first game I've played in a very long time where I've had no foreseeable issues or commitments that should impact the time I have to dedicate to this game and I'm looking very much forward to it!Dragon D. Luffy wrote:Is there anyone here not too busy to play this?
This is SO. TRUE. At least in actual politics.Spacedaisy wrote:Fair warning, I'm in the midst of hosting my own game, interviewing for a new job and applying for others, and packing up my apartment and moving for the next two week. So yeah, don't expect a ton here at first from me. I'll do my best but frankly I am quieter at the beginning and get more engaged as the numbers thin out. It's just kind of how I work, and given everything going on, it's not likely to be any different here.
As for prefect, well I'll just quote some Douglas Adams' Hitchiker's Guide...
"It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it... anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."
Therefore I am voting for timmer and nutella because they said they didn't want it.
Yeah, this is a good (albeit depressing) point. And I was so determined to have faith in humanity this time...Scotty wrote:Well not to be a Debbie downer, but all it takes is a quick chat in BTSC to say "I'm posting the next player to post in Sanskrit will get my vote"Russtifinko wrote:Agreed, JJJ.
Hey, I REALLY like the idea of the "whoever does ____ first, gets my votes" posts. They prevent people from finding excuses to give votes to baddie teammates. So I'm gonna do one too, and would suggest others do the same (even though it's an itsy bit late for a few).
The first two people to post pictures or emojis of platypi earn my votes.
Not that that is happening, but I'm just being devil's advocate here .
Also, vote for me. I'll be a better president than Herbert Hoover
I don't think you're allowed to vote for yourself! iirc, if you do, neither of your votes count.Scotty wrote:Thank you for the vote of confidence, Nero and DF! Keep em coming!
I voted for DDL and moi.
Very sorry to hear this, BtC! I'm glad to hear it sounds like she's doing marginally better - hope her recovery continues speedily.Bass_the_Clever wrote:So, two weeks ago, Mom aka Roxy, fell on a broken step at her apartment and fractured her face in two places, and fractured her skull.

12. Votes are not changeable. In addition, you will have two votes to cast in every poll. Submit both votes at the same time, or you will lose your second vote. If you cast more than two votes, none of your votes will be counted. Self-voting is permitted.
