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

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.

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.

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2017 4:46 pm**

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.

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

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2017 5:15 pm**

Yeah we shouldn't have killed Juliet or the SK (oops on that one my bad)

Meanwhile in mafia world I feel like we only have a few more phases before Stage 2 which should kick everyone back into high gear if not y'all can just let whatever team I'm on win, as like a welcome back from the void gift.

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2017 5:18 pm**

And if I'm doing my math right we should be down to 17 roles by day 20. Assume we loose around 3 roles a phase cycle after that then we only have six more phases which is only 18 more days! However, I suspect we have more surprises incoming and that isn't counting the flue victims so I could see us reaching the next stage much faster.

"Roles awaiting activation" are written as 22. We started the game with 21 roles, meaning 79 other ones were awaiting this activation. Thus I surmise Phase 2 would begin *after* those 22.

#24hourphases

I just want to say that I'm enjoying this game a lot, and I know that the host knows it.

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2017 6:02 pm**

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.

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2017 7:06 pm**

I'd be okay with 24 hour phases (maybe changing back when phase 2 starts cause I have no idea what will happen). I'd also be okay with playing this and another full game at the same time. I've played several games at once before.

Still having fun one way or another.

with 48 hour days, natch.

and we're still in phase 1

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2017 7:36 pm**

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

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2017 8:35 pm**

Suggestion to speed the game along: everybody just vote for who I vote for. I'll tell each team who to kill and then they do it. Sound good?

DOUBLED UP

Sig decided to spend the night checking out the wreck of the RSV Horizont. It was a spooky ship to explore by flashlight. He could see evidence of killings long ago. He wondered what had happened on board. Well, he didn't wonder that for very long.

Movement caught his eye down the hallway to his right. The footfalls caught his ear from the hallway to his left. He found himself caught in a deadly tug of war. It didn't matter who won, because he lost, bleeding out after both of his arms were ripped off.

------------------------------

Jackofhearts2005 sat in the middle of a clearing. The moon shone down on him from the night sky. It was almost as if he wanted to be seen.

He saw the long grass in front of him shifting as someone made their way to him. When this person came face-to-face with him, Jack smiled. It was a familiar face. They both nodded in approval and got on with it. While he knew it might hurt, Jack was pleased.

Stick to the plan, chums, he thought, as he took a bullet to the head.

------------------------------

SIG WAS KILLED BY THE FATAL 5'S AND THE OBNOXIOUS ODDS.
JACKOFHEARTS2005 WAS KILLED BY THE LUCKY 7'S.

IT IS NOW DAY 20.
YOU HAVE 48 HOURS TO LYNCH SOMEONE.

JULIETS, DRWILGY, SIG, AND JACKOFHEARTS2005 ARE NOT LYNCHABLE TODAY BECAUSE THEY JUST REANIMATED.

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2017 9:43 pm**

Thank you.........I think though the second kill was really unnecessary.

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2017 9:46 pm**

Would have been nice for someone else to have had one of those kills. Would have been that much closer to Phase 2 if so.

Agreed shame on you Fatal 5 and or Odds. Killing a former team member so cruel so unnecessary in the spirit of being a swell guy I suggest we lynch MP since he asked for it and go from there.

Posted: **Sun Oct 22, 2017 9:57 pm**

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

He asked last phase didn't he? So after the role change.

Well two things as far as that is concerned. Do we want to continue killing people because they asked for it? I mean it hasn't helped us so far? And does he in fact still want killed? I mean, he's so busy right now it might be best to leave him in a powerless role and let someone more active get a new role that might actually be worth playing.

And I could say "times I have refused to respond in a way that makes sense - 0". (Malkovich).

I hope it made you feel better to call out my game play when I'm hanging by my fingernails onto this game. And I guess it didn't occur to you that I might have a different strategy for winning than you.

Posted: **Mon Oct 23, 2017 9:37 am**

YOU KNOW WHAT?

GOD....DAMN IT!!!!

MALKOVICH.

MOTHEREFFING Malkovich got me unscathed through 20 Day phases thus far (that Day 2 lynch switch shenanigan notwithstanding) - and a few Night phases all the same, at least until Jack's jack of hearts proved useful too. YEAH? YEAH.

I MEAN HOLY SHIT RELEVANCY EVEN?

PLUS LET ME JUST SAY, I don't know what your strategy for winning is. SHOULD I EVEN CARE? HELLLL NAW.

I know what your strategy for the role you received was. MHHHM. Raised your hand, outed it, asked for a lynch, received it. That much was clear, SISTAH!

Posted: **Mon Oct 23, 2017 10:12 am**

And for all your hard work, you got an even better role, Rico. A role I worked very hard to keep alive.

Posted: **Mon Oct 23, 2017 10:31 am**

I'm voting Speedchuck. Because he hasn't died yet.

Posted: **Mon Oct 23, 2017 10:39 am**

Speedchuck hasn't died once?

#13 still lives tho. I am now the role of someone who has died.

Yes but you have not died, that is why you are getting my vote.

Posted: **Mon Oct 23, 2017 11:06 am**

Yeah, Speedchuck needs to be lynched.

Don't worry so much, mon ami. Everyone dies sometimes.

Y'all're being ageist.

I don't agree with speedchuck being lynched.

Posted: **Mon Oct 23, 2017 11:31 am**

There is more in the cards than you think Long Con. It is the right move. If it's not his time he will make it. You gotta have faith, Jack! Lol, sorry I was just channeling my inner John Locke...
