I like mammas.

Mammas? Plural? Oh dear. Does Elo know about this?

The first two are available as iPad apps for very reasonable fees. Play at least the first one if you want us to remain friends.

Today has been very quiet so far... Not much to go on other than Vomps asking for volunteers. Which is asking people to do the civs' work for them, but in Day 1, I suppose it's just an opening gambit.

Are votes changeable or not?

MacDougall wrote:Are votes changeable or not?

Why not vote and find out?

I self-voted for the sake of figuring out whether they're changeable or not. Votes are not changeable.

And I'm not sure if 'self-targeting' includes 'self-voting' but if it does, rip Quin.

Haha thanks.

Epignosis is bad. Discuss.

Quin we live in the same city and I had no idea. Let's hang.

I don't actually live in Brisbane, I just put it here because it's recognisable to everyone else :P

He's 90 percent fluff at this point. I can't shape a read out of it yet. It's at least interesting from a meta standpoint, though.

Blatant misrepresentation. You are bad.

I am turning 30 in under 3 hours.

Haps births see you at my age in 2 yahrs ok byeeeer

Im drunk i probably have somewmrhing niçer to say

Still

Hapy bitthday dickhead

We are reborn every day.

*emerges from the birth canal*

Maybe it's time for me to do some role analysis and then get some votes for it for being "overly helpful".

Ok, Items... specifically the ones which can be bought, Bananas and Grog. Can more than one be bought at once? If Stan gets the Shovel, then he'll have 30 Po8 (Pieces of Eight). Can he immediately spend 28 Po8 and buy fourteen Grog (at half price) and slam them down on a player, ensuring their lynch? Maybe even better, he could buy a bunch of Bananas, and save them for a rainy day, and never get lynched. It doesn't look like there's any lynch shenanigans among the baddies, so it's all Bananas and Grog.

What exactly do the Pirate Leaders know? What is there that Civvies and/or Cannibals do not know? Maybe they get to know when someone buys something, or the details of Stan's dealings or Carla's fight results.

Are the Men of Low Moral Fibre just vanilla baddies (with BTSC)?

Head of the Navigator - What does it mean to be invisible to ghosts? Just that LeChuck can't kill you?

Stan - His role says he can "offer players 2 pieces of eight for an item which they must trade to him." They must. Does that mean he can force the Head of the Navigator to sell his Necklace for 2 Po8? Does Stan have to know they possess the item, asking for a specific one, or is he more like a thief who pays 2 Po8 for whatever they have?

Meathook - Does he get some sort of info every night?

That's all for now. Host questions look like this.

Happy Birthday, Mac!

Also LOL, Quin is the new MM. :P

Hey Mac, it's clear we are both civilian this game so let's team up.

And LOL.

Because we're such good friends, I know you'll play it again for me and tell me how it was.

All the things.

Hi everyone. Great to be playing again. I think...

Classic BWT. Don't give up on Black Rock yet though, she'll be here.

Most neighbourly of you!

I should mention I voted the last option already before I was a player.

I can confirm this.

Good point. Same-same.

You are trying too hard.

Anti-intellectualism is a thing in this community too then.

Good of you to take on that burden.

You may post your vote in the thread and I will count it, due to the odd nature of your arrival.

Just a little over 24 hours remaining and we've had hardly any on-topic discussion. Let's change that.

Mac, tell me why Epi is bad.
LC, what did you gain from your role analysis?
Everyone else, do you have any thoughts on anyone's alignment so far for even weak reasons/pings? If so, what are they?

Is it possible to earn gold?

Epi is always bad. Even when he's good.

Hey, I know I've been quiet for today, that will change when I get home from grocery shopping; yesterday was a busier day than I anticipated.

Llama:

The role post says the civvies only need Lechuck, Bob, and the Cannibals dead to win. Does that mean the game will end if the other two baddies are still alive?

Also, the civvies need the cannibals dead, but the cannibals can win even if Herman Toothrot and Head of the Navigator are alive. Does this mean that the game will end if any cannibals are alive and only Herman and Head are remaining for the civvies?

Oh my fucking lord I am 30.

Only if you let me wave shine you into upsmash.

Hello everyone. My name is DrWilgy and I am most definitely a smash player.

I have not checked my role nor do I plan to. I will, however, assist townies in their plight.

This seems like a boring approach to take; don't necessarily mean to be offensive, but the main reason I see for players deciding not to check their role PM is because they have weak scum games and they're scared that they will draw scum. Is this your problem as well or do you have ulterior motives?

Vompatti wrote:As for the lynch, are there any volunteers?

There's a lot of fluff happening so far (which I don't mind, just an observation), so it's possible that I'm clinging to anything that seems the slightest bit alignment indicative, but I liked this. I think it's something that baddies would be less likely to do than goodies, but don't have anything backing me up on that except for instinct.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:I'd volunteer, but I promised myself I wouldn't be lynched Day 1.

And, since I'm explaining gut reads, this reads along the same lines.
I find that "I won't be lynched Day 1!" is more commonly a baddie goal than a goodie one (people are usually more afraid of being lynched instantly when they lack the power of the truth on their side), and generally baddies don't like sharing their goals in thread unless I've stumbled onto a much different meta than I'm used to.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Hey Elo, are you bad?

No.

Who are you Nachomamma? Are you new to mafia. Are you a momma? Do you like nachos? I like nachos.

I am Nachomamma! I am Nachomamma8 because when I was younger I was good at Mario Kart and I played it a lot, then there was someone who was named "Nachomamma8" I took their name as vengeance. I am not new to mafia; I'm used to playing on Mafiascum but I've played with JJJ on Mafiauniverse (which is why I was interested in this site in the first place). I am not a mamma; it's unfortunately impossible for me. I do like nachos. Everyone likes Nachos.

Today seems to be quiet because people are afraid to stick their necks out and do things.
If you're uncomfortable with the silence (which I'm assuming you are because otherwise there isn't any real motivation to bring it up), why not do something to change it?

Also a slight townlean for getting the game going, although I'm not sure where this scumlean in particular is coming from.

Is being this fluffy out of character for him? Do you think that his fluffiness stands out when a majority of players have that same 90 - 10 fluff-nonfluff ratio?

I liked this post too!!! Don't really have a reason for why and won't pretend like I do, just like how the line talking about how he's going to get voted for his approach sounds; probably good for along the same lines as Metal's "I promised I wouldn't get lynched D1" post.

Unless this is a joke I'm not picking up on, it seems like you're implying there's more to pick up on that Boomslang is missing; why not comment on any of it?

Why did it take you so long to get the ball rolling?
It might have been a poor character judgment considering the whole "we've never played together" thing, but I sort of expected you to be an active driving force before this point. I like that you're questioning people for small pings, but why haven't you talked about yours? Why haven't you talked about your Mac civilian read yet?

Not unless Santa Claus gives you a shovel.
