[ENDGAME] The Shawshank Redemption Mafia

#51

I missed playing mafia with you, boo! Awesome insights, as always.

I guess I'll keep my vote where it is for now and see what happens.

omg yes

#53

Bah, I missed the game start.

I'm not terribly available this weekend, but I see that our poll runs another day yet.
I'm going to be even less available than before (just started a new contract job),
but I'll try to contribute more than last game, at least once per day on weekdays :-)

I gather nobody is confident of how this poll works, or what it's for?
I'll just randomize the unvoted .. Moving Pictures it is.

#54

Yes, there are many options on how this poll works. Unless it somehow becomes more clear (and I don't see that happening unless we get a host clarification) I will just keep my vote the way it is.

#55

Vomperdoodle - wanna trade votes?

Llama usually has the target on his back to die first, but I don't want to vote him in case it turns into an actual lynch or a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Or the winner gets a prize.
I have to go bake more bread.

#56

I notice John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt voted for me without posting. Care to explain yourself, JJJS?

#57

I think Boo's idea about the poll being a bet is really interesting. Though if it really was that, you'd probably be kind of upset to get the most votes since it apparently means everyone thinks you'll be out first!

#58

I'm going to go along with boo's train of thought for now. I'll be voting MR because of it.

Votes MR

#59

Hi all, I'm new here. And this is a bit overwhelming...but let's get started. Oh, and English isn't my native language, so sorry in advance for my mistakes...

I don't know what all they might be up to, but I have to say I am happy to be at home having a restful evening. My week has been crazy busy with a four-tiered wedding cake, a grooms cake, and a two-tiered Christmas cake (which caused trips to Walmart three nights in a row) on top of all my normal duties of teaching, cleaning, laundry, and caring for three wild youngins. Whew! I'm spent!

This post seems like sucking up

and quite suspicious in my eyes.

I'll throw a vote on MR for now... I think boo's analysis is cool and stuff but we have no way of knowing for sure.

#61

boo wrote: Ya, exactly. It's a bet... although that makes me wonder if a second vote (and all after) on someone who already has a vote would get everyone after the first voter a prize if the person who took the votes is the person who cries out first. Either that or it would be divided by however many voters there were and got it right (in terms of keeping the bet idea going at least, could just be a small prize for everyone who winds up voting right, regardless of how many votes).

"Which will cry out first" =/= "Which cried out first"

But other than that, it's a fun theory that I hope doesn't result in my death.

#62

I thought the poll was who we wanted to vote for. Isn't it?

It seems to not be a lynch poll, we're in the 'prologue' rather than day one which suggests perhaps we're voting based on something other than who we want to lynch today.

#64

FZ. wrote:I thought the poll was who we wanted to vote for. Isn't it?

The poll is "who will cry out first?" None of us really knows what that means, but I would be willing to bet that it is not a lynch poll.

Is it possible that "Which new fish will cry out first" could refer to a player who's new to the site/playing their first game here?

Just spitballing.

But then wouldn't it make more sense for the poll to have only new players on it?

Yes, this poll seems like a "typical" day 0 poll to me. Typical only meaning that it is similar to other day 0 polls where we aren't lynching, but voting for perhaps early game advantages or somethign similar.

Well that would just take all the fun away from our random theories anyways.

@Llama: Yeah, I like the role-relation idea too.

#73

Thanks for the answers. I thought it was just a creative way to present the lynch poll, nothing more. Could it still be it, and those talking about bets and all that, jut trying to cause chaos?

Chaos!

^Lol

I think I should tell you that I'm never online on Fridays. I come back on Saturday nights my time.

#76

Why does MR have three votes? Going by the logic this is a bet, why's the bet on him? And if it's something else, what is it?

#77

FZ. wrote:Why does MR have three votes? Going by the logic this is a bet, why's the bet on him? And if it's something else, what is it?

A better question is why do I have two votes? Because people love to vote for me, that's why! It's a shame I'm not running for anything, and that the majority of votes in this game result in death.

#78

I'd vote Logan for President for a number of very good reasons, not the least of which is the reestablishment of facial hair in the White House.

I think the winners of the poll/bet will be those who vote for Fat Ass. Is that too simple of an explanation? Maybe.

#80

Oh, and I would vote Logan for President too

Yay freedom!

#81

^That could also be a total crapshoot, as some of us won't get any votes.

#82

I kinda would like a tie for this poll, it's so vague. It's not too late for those of you who voted for those with multiple votes to change

#83

S~V~S wrote:I kinda would like a tie for this poll, it's so vague. It's not too late for those of you who voted for those with multiple votes to change

I advocated for this in the last game and I think it's a good idea here too. It would ensure that at least one of us gets contraband. The only trouble is that that those with BTSC have a slight advantage, since they know some of the roles, but that's true whether there's a tie or not, so let's go for it!

#84

S~V~S wrote:I kinda would like a tie for this poll, it's so vague. It's not too late for those of you who voted for those with multiple votes to change

It would be interesting. But if my theory is correct then only one person would win the bet and find out who Fat Ass is.

I think I will vote for FZ (for now) since he voted for me.

What kind of prize is that?
And by the way, what is a contraband?

#87

No clue what contraband would be~ this is a twist the host threw in, could be anything

And i doubt any kind of info would be a prize~ could be wrong though.

#88

The speculation about this poll is normal -- I'm thinking no one really knows what this poll does. Does not seem like a Day 0 info/faction benefits poll to me.

Honestly, my gut is telling me it's meaningless, but I know Rob better than to think he would do something completely meaningless.

FZ. wrote:I thought the poll was who we wanted to vote for. Isn't it?

Typically, games here have a "Day 0" or prologue phase where the poll is NOT a typical lynch polls. Those start on Day 1.

#89

I came back wondering why the poll was still up before I realized....that the poll isn't 24 hours.

Oh well. I might considering changing my vote at some point but for now, I feel fairly comfortable about where it is.

Yes I asked earlier because as it is now it just looks like a liability.

I think the contraband might be the 'items' that one of the civ roles gets to choose someone to receive at night. So they probably confer advantages.

Based on the movie and reading the roles, I think that civvie is Red.

I don't think the contraband has to do with anything else. It seems he's the only one that can find it and dish it out.

Why did you vote for me, John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt? Explain yourself or I will switch my vote to you, and that's a guarantee, bub!

Gonna vote now while I remember. No idea what to base it on so I'll just random...

*Mongoose* it is!

Voting mr thomas since he meets my non MR criteria and I might not get around tomorrow before the poll ends.

Intimidation, bullying, senseless aggression, meanspiritedness, free market capitalism, a hint of trolling, antisociality, misanthropy, and gamesmanship.
