Title: Vote Mafia, Round 3! (Game Over! Mafia Wins)
Post by: webadict on August 25, 2009, 08:42:05 am
So, let's do another one!

So, I rather enjoyed this last game of Vote Mafia, which will shortly end.

That's why I decided to start another game of it. I think the most of the same rules as last time should apply:

Do not ever quote me. I will smite thee and upon thee I shall set exile for one of my Mafia games.
Do be active. Inactivity will result in ban for no less than one games. If you plan to be gone, do not join, or if you are unaware that you were going to be gone, inform me.
Each player will receive the name of another role that is in the game and a description of that role.
Do not underestimate or overestimate the significance or power of your role. You may be sorely mistaken.
Roles are revealed on death. They will be posted when the player died, and posted on the main page.
PMing is allowed between all living players, so long as I am a recipient of each message.
If there is a tie in votes, all those involved in the tie are lynched.

New Rules:
There will be no more than 12 players to maintain activity. Special priority to previous players will be given. I reserve the right to not add people to this game.
Some roles may or may not be reused from previous Round(s).
The Day goes for 48 hours, or until a 60% majority vote for the Day to end.
No multiple lynches without 80% of the votes.
Players:
chaoticjosh - Fibonacci Voter
Free Beer - Copycat Voter
ToonyMan - Unlimited Voter
Mr.Person
Frelock - Unknown Voter
Org
Diakron - Infinity Voter
Zaithemaster
Mephansteras
RedWarrior0
major_sephiroth - Motivational Voter
JanusTwoface - Vote Amplifier
Pandarsenic

Quote
Unlimited Voter - You have unlimited votes. However, if anyone you vote for is lynched, you lose your power to vote.
Quote
Infinity Voter - Once per game, you can make your vote count for infinite votes.
Quote
Unknown Voter - You have an unknown number of votes each Day, ranging from negative five to five. You are told at the beginning of the Day.
Quote
Copycat Voter - You gain the power of the person for whom you vote until the following Day.
Quote
Vote Amplifier - Each Night, you can choose to amplify someone's vote. If that person does not have 1 vote, they now have an additional vote.
Quote
Motivational Voter - Each Night, you give another player an extra vote for the following Day.

Post by: webadict on August 29, 2009, 06:50:55 pm
'Twas a day like no other.

Well, actually, it was like many other Days. Today was Mafia Week, in celebration of the ne'er-do-wells caught by the fore fathers of this city. Special citizens were chosen to battle with lies, logic, and luck, even if the good guys always win. Oh, it certainly is a sight to behold.

However, this 3rd Anniversary seemed odd. Usually, it has always been planned openly, with many participants willing to sign up. This time, they should've known something was up.

13 participants. Odd, considering that there were never 13. So unlucky, you might say. And many did. But, perhaps that is just one of those twists the planners throw in for fun.

Well, that is until we found the head planner dead after killing many of the planing committee. He shot himself, right after closing the doors on the Mafia Room that keeps the participants in.

That is now.


This is Day 1.

Post what it does too!  Some people don't remember (like me).

Weeding out lurkers is a fairly high priority, so I wouldn't say we're jumping the gun.

But yeah, I almost forgot about the role reveal, mine is the Copycat Voter. He gains the power of whomever he votes for until the next day.

I haven't asked any questions about it yet, but from what I can glean from this is that it's not like the vote stealer, in that it GAINS the ability, rather than stealing it. I think this would be pretty dangerous in the hands of a mafioso, seeing as how they start with the largest pool of information.

Post by: Frelock on August 29, 2009, 07:29:24 pm
Toony, the vote counter can ask for an end-of-day report at any time, which gives who voted for who, and the total number of votes on each person.
Title: Re: Vote Mafia, Round 3! (Day 1)
Post by: ToonyMan on August 29, 2009, 07:32:53 pm
Usually people that copy/steal peoples votes are mafia, but that doesn't really say much.  We can be fooled.

What on earth gave you that thought?  Just because josh was the vote stealer last game doesn't mean that all vote stealers/copycats are scum.

Oh, and I also know another role due to a night action, but I'll wait until the person who has it as their known reveals it.

Webadict doesn't have specific alignments for the roles, he said.

Also, you may notice, I'm the thirteenth d00d; I do not know anyone's role, and nobody knows mine.

Also, webby reveals a letter of my role's name every time I vote. Observe.

Vote Frelock

However, NONE OF YOU ARE TO EVER SAY MY ROLE'S NAME IF YOU ARE TOWN-ALIGNED. I'm town-aligned, I'm not lynch-immune, and I'm not NK-immune, but if you say my role's name (or if I do) and declare it to be my role, he kills me instantly.

Don't even joke about this. The only way to name-kill me is in the thread (unless our esteemed mod is lying to me) so if it's going to happen, let scum do it so you know whom to lynch.

I know about the Fibonacci Voter. Just like in round two, the number of votes that they possess on a given day is given by that day's position in the Fibonacci sequence.

I think I am going to start by voting for major_sephiroth, because he caused drama in the Running Man RTD (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=37569.75).

Anyway, Free Beer You're fairly new. HOW DO YOU EXCUSE THAT?

What's wrong with being fairly new?

@Panda, I take it then it would be a bad idea to describe what your role does, besides the mod-kill-if-you-say-its-name problem.

And in any case, we can get around this restriction easily.  Just say "someone" instead of "pandarsenic."  Then we aren't claiming it to be your role  :-X.

NOTHING'S WRONG WITH BEING NEW! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND MY HUMOR!? NOW DROP DOWN AND GIVE ME TWENTY! UNVOTE! VOTE MR.PERSON!

If all that is true Pandar, wouldn't the most rational thing to do be... NOT vote at all after this? Because if you insist on continuing to vote, then I suppose it would be in the town's best interest if you killed yourself right now, so you don't make it to lylo, where you'll then be name-killed, and allow the mafia to win.

Oh, and I'm the worst townie to have at Lylo. My vote doesn't count for anything.

...

Yeah, my role is a pretty raw deal. It's the quintessential townie, without the vote and with an anti-lurk restriction and a handful of modkill conditions.

I just have to scumhunt, really.

Are there ANY OTHER little rules attached to your timebomb of a role?

I'm not sure if you should name-kill yourself right now or somewhere along the line. You're a living weapon for the mafia, and that's something I really don't like.

Ok, Pandarsenci's role seems bizarre. I'm curious as to what it's actual purpose in the game is.

Anyway, I just noticed that this had actually started. I'll have to get a new spreadsheet set up for this game. May not get around to that until I'm at work on Monday, though.

In any case, I know about the Double-voter. Just like it sounds, he gets two votes.

If I had to guess, the Unlimited voter has a finite (but not fixed) amount of votes, which they can spread around as they see fit. The Infinity Voter has an infinite amount of votes applied all at once to one person, but only for one day. I'd say Infinity is more dangerous in the hands of scum.

Post by: Zai on August 29, 2009, 10:44:50 pm
FoS Diakron for not attempting to scumhunt, though this can be "explained" as him still being new (and sometimes confusing to read). To clarify: These random votes are not the votes that will be kept, as long as the person being voted for does not respond too suspiciously.

FoS Pandar because of his role, essentially. Having said that, I trust him, for some reason. Bad, I know. And I think I may know his role's name. Unless web went with the completely not obvious.

Major_sephiroth, please tell us the extra role you received in your role PM. Paraphrase the description, though.

...And I just looked at my role PM again, and OH MY FUCKING GOD THIS CAN BE SO OVERPOWERED:

Unknown Voter - Each day they have a random number of votes, between -5 and 5.

The person who has this role is possibly more powerful than Josh's Three Votes and the Fibonacci Voter, as well as the Negative Voter.

And I vote Org on principle.

The infinity voter should speak up right now. We're not taking the chance of instant loss later in the game, you're using your power today.

The infinity voter should speak up right now. We're not taking the chance of instant loss later in the game, you're using your power today.

FoS Mr.Person for demanding the Infinity Voter use their supreme vote today (which, by the way, would ensure that whoever they decide to vote for dies if they did decide to do so; you would be forcing them to vote for someone at random). While it is a powerful role for scum, it is just as powerful for the town (though less necessary, I suppose, given the town to mafia ratio).

Also. I find it funny you (M.P) said "we're," without specifying what group "we" is.
Title: Re: Vote Mafia, Round 3! (Day 1)
Post by: Mr.Person on August 29, 2009, 11:06:13 pm
By "we", I meant the town. It's so powerful in the hands of scum, it's not even funny. Lylo with scum infinity voter=loss. Lylo with town infinity voter=pretty much the same as regular lylo.

You should have gotten two powers in your PM. One power (the first one) is the role that you have, the other is a role someone else has. Could you describe the second one, the one you know about but do not have?

I know of the No Voter.  No, not the Know Voter, the No Voter has No Votes!  Sadness be to the No Voter!

Also, I am mildly suspicious of the following:
- chaoticjosh and ToonyMan for each 'Random' voting the first person on the player list without a vote already on them.
- major_sephiroth for a potential delayed OMGUS vote against Free Beer
- major_sephiroth for helping Free Beer (when he thought he had Negative Voter?)

I believe that I will vote major_sephiroth.

It looks vaguely like scum who don't want to go through the effort of choosing a townie to random vote so they started at the top of the list.

This would also potentially involve chaoticjosh voting for fellow scum ToonyMan, but that's definitely not out of the question.

No, I was attacking him for being lazy with his explanations. The entire point of scumhunting is to force them to lie, is it not? Therefore, we cannot allow anyone to get off easy with their explanations.

In all likelihood, it's nothing.  Just random votes being a bit less random than normal.  Some sort of suspicion to throw out on the first day.

That being said, I'll just keep it in the back of my head.



An OMGUS vote is voting someone who voted for you.  Again, this isn't really something terribly suspicious at this point, but something to keep in the back of my mind.

And I know that that wasn't directed at me, Free Beer, but for my part, I think the Infinity Voter should wait a day (or maybe two) before revealing.  It's not critical that we know right now, just that we don't end up with scum with that power at a game ending point.

And from experience in the last two Vote Mafias, we'll figure out who everyone is soon enough.  Especially with a Vote Reporter in play.

Oh, and Pandarsenic, do you get another letter each time you change your vote?  Or just the first vote?

And webadict, are we not supposed to know how many scum there are?  I cannot find it either. Or is this one of those "twists the planners throw in for fun?"

BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Please elaborate. Some of us, myself included, aren't smart enough to see the things that you seem to think are obvious.

I was done saying what I had to say so I ended with an avatar sig.

So, ToonyMan, could you say some more? Do you still think chaoticjosh deserves your vote? How do you think the early part of the Day has gone?

Yes.
I'll keep my vote until something else comes up.
These none posters need to post!
Infinity Voter doesn't have to come out right now, they'll probably be targets for scum during the night if they do.
The Infinity Voter I think is a scum role.
I think my role is Town, because it is.

Toonyman, you just contradicted yourself. You said the infinity voter was likely a scum role, but you also say they shouldn't come forward because the scum would nk them? Now you aren't even making sense.

The infinity voter should come forward, but it doesn't have to be tonight. Besides, once they've done the infinity thing, they're a regular old townie. No real reason for the mafia to night-kill them in that case.

There is no role that is definitely town, and no role that is definitely scum, though no voter sounds like a really bum role for scum (though not as bad as Panda's).  Has anyone considered the possibility that panda is scum?

I'm willing to go out on a limb and say the following:
Title: Re: Vote Mafia, Round 3! (Day 1)
Post by: JanusTwoface on August 30, 2009, 11:57:15 am
But if Pandar is scum, all we have to do is name his role and he dies.  So I'm not as worried about that right now as I could be.  Unless of course he was lying about that...  That might be an interesting can of worms.

Player 1: *Pandar's role*
Webadict: *nothing*
Player 1: But you're supposed to kill him.
Pandar: Mwa ha ha.  Vote.  Dead.

Oh, and I agree with chaoticjosh.  Pandar, when you replied to my post by voting ToonyMan, I was rather confused.  It makes more sense now.



And thanks for showing up Org and RedWarrior0.  But that wasn't really much to say.  Do either of you have any suspicious thus far?

Toony being quiet is unusual.  He's usually much more talkative.  This is suspicious behavior in my book.  Actually, enough to vote ToonyMan.  Any explanation, Toony?  Besides scum-being?



Also, I see what you mean about the team balancing.  Of course I wouldn't but it past webadict to put a twist in the game and not do that this time around.

At some point, the Vote Counter should use that ability.  Maybe not yet, because we still have more than half(ish?) people not voting so we wouldn't gather maximal information.  But at some point.  Roles like that help out the uninformed / informed bit.

I'm going to reveal my role, seeing that Diakron can confirm me.

I am the Unlimited Voter, sorry for the confusion, but I think the Infinity Voter is scum because his role is suspiciously like mine, and so far in these Vote Mafia games, people who have similar roles usually one of them is scum.

The Infinity Voter is also more powerful than me.

Actually, ToonyMan, the vote counter is the obvious counter to your role, although the infinity voter is another counter as well. However, counter-role |= scum.

Vote Free Beer. Ignore his list, it probably has 2 scum in one of the groups. I think he's scum trying to "clear" a teamate. If not that, then he's just an idiot who might accidentally "clear" a scum in any case.

On what grounds do you think I am wrong? I think my reasoning is sound. The only way I could be wrong is if what Janus said is correct, that webadict predicted a move like mine and deliberately constructed the teams differently to prevent the strategy from succeeding. Which, by the way, is assumes a WIFOM on the part of webadict.

Perhaps it is you that is scum and you are trying to deflect attention from my accurate list?

If I remember correct, in both of the previous rounds, Webadict has said that the teams were random.  Albeit, random with a tendency to be balanced.  So basing all of your thinking, especially this early, on balanced teams is kind of strange.

Webadict doesn't "constuct" the list, it's totally random who gets what role. Now you're just being WAY overly defensive.

I'm not talking about "who gets what role." I am talking about "what role gets what alignment." Why are you attempting to twist my words into what they are not? This is the second time you've done this.

If you review the previous two rounds, especially round two, you will find that people used reasoning just like mine in order to nail the mafia, and it worked. Why are you attacking me for using a tried-and-true method?

"He" was obviously referring to webadict, the last person mentioned.

Unvote, vote Zaithemaster. You Elmo wannabe, come out and argue with me!

Of course, that's barely sufficient, so let's hypothetically say you were the vote reporter, how would you go about using that role?

Let me start off by saying that everybody needs to include a description of their known role, even if it was in past VMs. I am having to look back at VM2 to remember what the Vote Reporter does.

Then let me say second that it doesn't really matter what I would do if I were the Vote Reporter, as that is not my role. But if I were the Vote Reporter, I would have used it like anyone would have: picking someone at night who had seemed suspicious the day before (or in the case of Night 0, picking someone at random), and see if they were "lying" about their vote.

FoS Mr.Person again for voting for someone based only (apparently) on the fact that they made lists, and being antagonistic about it. But FoS Free Beer at the same time because M.P has a point (the irony, I know), though there's not enough to vote for someone because of it.

Actually. Vote Mr.Person because of the above, what I FoS'd him earlier for, and this:

The infinity voter should come forward, but it doesn't have to be tonight. Besides, once they've done the infinity thing, they're a regular old townie. No real reason for the mafia to night-kill them in that case.

You refer to the Infinity Voter as a townie here (implying you have knowledge of who is and isn't scum), and yet you demand them to use their power soon "in case they're scum." Doesn't mesh, sorry.

Yes, meph, I am trying to hide my role, but since you've called me out on it, I'll come out and say it.  I am the Unknown voter, which I just noticed was missing from the list.  In any case, today I have gotten 3 votes, and was motivated/amplified to bring my total for the day up to 4 votes.  I refrained from voting, and attempted to hide my role, because it's possibly the most powerful town role out there, though you could argue that the triple voter is more powerful (with me, it depends on the day...)

To prove my statement, I shall vote Org for his usual style of lurking.

So far as I read it, the Infinite Voter will beat the Unlimited Voter if both use their votes.

I would guess that means they would get another vote.  For the infinity voter, this would be useful if they don't use their power that day, and for the unlimited voter, well, they get another vote to add to their unlimited pile of votes.

So wait, before I make any hasty decisions, I want to get this straight.

The infinity voter and the unlimited voter have what is essentially the same power, but the IV will trump the UV if they're both in play, and the UV can switch his around, and will only be negated if he actually manages to kill someone, at which point he becomes a normal townie with 1 vote?

Alright, I've been reading some things:

I'm going to reveal my role, seeing that Diakron can confirm me.

I am the Unlimited Voter, sorry for the confusion, but I think the Infinity Voter is scum because his role is suspiciously like mine, and so far in these Vote Mafia games, people who have similar roles usually one of them is scum.

The Infinity Voter is also more powerful than me.

I'm trying to wrap my head around why you'd roleclaim. I can understand the whole "wanting to appear town" concept, but this ultimately doesn't accomplish anything. What I mean by this is, if you were in fact town, you wouldn't have to worry about how your power might implicate you, because it'd be your power to use against the mafia, and this only throws you out into the open. By doing this, you've made yourself worthless to the town in a practical sense. So, through this I'm led to believe that this was all aethetics, what do you think about that Toonyman?

Although, I guess my vote doesn't really matter, since your power can overpower everyone else's.

Actually, ToonyMan, the vote counter is the obvious counter to your role, although the infinity voter is another counter as well. However, counter-role |= scum.

Vote Free Beer. Ignore his list, it probably has 2 scum in one of the groups. I think he's scum trying to "clear" a teamate. If not that, then he's just an idiot who might accidentally "clear" a scum in any case.

Do you mind if I question you on your vote of Free Beer? His lists were very sensible, and your accusation is very vague. Can you point out what you don't like about it exactly? What I mean is, if you're going to preemptively accuse him of WIFOM'ing the town, then come out and say it.

So, an unlimited voter is just like an infinity voter, except a UV can change around his vote while a IV can't?

Do I have that right?

Infinity Voter can choose when to use his infinite votes and he still has a single vote after that.  I'm the same, except for those limitations.  Thus my suspicion.  Don't even bother trying to vote me.

The reason why I had to role-claim was so that I can explain why I thought Infinity Voter was scum, I sorta caught myself in a stupid trap.

Methinks you are scum, and Toony is not. (http://www.mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=Gambler%27s_Fallacy) On the other hand, it couldd be an elaborate WIFOM to convince us Toony isn't scum, but either way Diakron must be scum.

Quote from: Free Beer
I'm willing to go out on a limb and say the following:
As with previous Vote Mafias, it is likely that webadict attempted to balance the scum team. If two people have similar powers, I'm willing to bet at least one is scum.
Toward that end, I think at one person in each of the following sets: {Infinity Voter, Unlimited Voter, Double Voter, Triple Voter, Fibonacci Voter}, {Vote Counter, Copycat Voter}, and {No Voter, Vote Amplifier, Motivator, Negative Voter, (whatever Pandarsenic's role is), Unknown Voter} is scum.
The reasoning is simple: With that setup, the mafia gets one information gathering power, one lynch power, and one buddying/"unlikely to be scum" power.

I voted him because this is false and he is, in fact, going to wind up WIFOMing the town that way. Think about what's he saying. We've all agree'd that Webadict makes the setup randomly. Thus, he doesn't "balance" the scum team. Well, there you go, we all agree what he's saying is wrong and thus THIS PART OF HIS POST should be ignored.

However, here's something we should consider. It's unlikely that Webadict would allow a Triple Voter, Double Voter, Fibonacci Voter scum-team, especially with the Vote Amplifier and Nonvoter as town. If that's the scumteam, we've already lost unless we lynch them today or tomorrow anyways, so it's a wash. Other than that, except for how everybody uses their role, we really can't deduce anything from roles alone. Period.

Threatening all of the town isn't what I'd call a good answer Toon. But since it's really come down to it, I have to ask the stupid obvious question to you: From what you've seen thus far, whom would you kill and why?

Also, WA, what is the vote count and when will the day end?

Also, Mr.Person, thanks for displaying your thoughts more clearly.

And Diakron, Toony was scum in the first vote mafia. You weren't there though, and probably haven't read it, but defending a fallacy is a dodgy thing, just to let you know.

Unvote

So wait, before I make any hasty decisions, I want to get this straight.

The infinity voter and the unlimited voter have what is essentially the same power, but the IV will trump the UV if they're both in play, and the UV can switch his around, and will only be negated if he actually manages to kill someone, at which point he becomes a normal townie with 1 vote?

Hey Zaithemaster, what do you make of this? I'm not trying to deflect, by the way, I just want to know your thoughts.

Could you clarify as to what it is you are asking my thoughts on?

Chaoticjosh used the same wording that you're voting me for. Note the bolded part. What's your response? (Like I said, not trying to deflect, I'm trying to your response.)

Oh. That. Sorry. Kind of distracted and busy tonight. I'll hopefully be able to examine stuff more tomorrow night.

But. While you're right in a way (as I know what you're getting at), this is actually quite different. As I mentioned in my post where I voted for you, there are several reasons why I'm voting for you. That alone was not even enough for me to want to FoS you. It's that (you calling the Infinity Voter a regular townie after using their power), combined with you demanding the IV use their power today because you don't trust them, that is one of the reasons I'm voting for you. If you think they're a townie, why the hell would  you want them to waste their power, unless you're scum?

Also. Wut at Josh being all polite and crap. But hey, Josh, care to comment on the current status of this round of EPYC? >,>

[Pre-Post Edit:] HEAVILY FoS Diakron for bringing up the Gambler's Fallacy in a serious manner, and then defending it. I'm tempted to switch my vote, actually.

I'm sorry, but I laughed so hard at that. Especially the "every[one] else is just randomly quoting each other and posting more stuff to be quoted then random voting" part. What you described is not the situation at all. A "member's exclusive area [where if] you don't play the way every[one] else plays, you don't get to play"? No. It's just that if you don't make an effort, you can easily get "left behind" and become confused. Playing forum mafia can require a good chunk of effort and time to look back, study what everyone has said and done, and to make the best decision you can as to who to vote for.

But if you're serious (which I hope you aren't), the Mafia Scum wiki (http://mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page) should be quite useful. Browse it some, and if there's a term that someone uses that you don't understand (such as OMGUS, WIFOM, gambler's fallacy, or LYLO), search for it on there. It should be quite useful. This goes for major_sephiroth as well.

And for some info that I really shouldn't be spending my time on typing up: At the beginning of each game, we randomly vote to get people to talk, and to gauge their reactions. While sometimes not very effective, this part can be quite useful, particularly against newbies who are scum, though they'll usually just claim "n00bship". These votes are not likely to remain for long, as long as the person being voted for doesn't react weirdly. The votes are merely to put pressure on people to talk.

However, we have passed beyond that stage, and so we are now no longer voting at random. Now we are at the point where examining what people say and who they vote for is a necessity. Typically in mafia, people will often decline to lynch on the first day in favor of waiting for night so that townie power roles can gather useful information. However, this type of mafia (Web's Vote Mafia variety) lacks power roles who can gather information in the night, such as a common Cop role, so this strategy is done away with. It is more crucial to examine what people say and do in Vote Mafias than in most others.

This has made me realize that Josh's Mafia Tutorial (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=39338.0) could probably really use more information on standard procedures and terms.

[Pre-Post Edit:] Like Josh just said, Diakron, you're going crazy when there's not a lot of real pressure on you. Going crazy just makes people more suspicious of you, which increases the pressure placed on you. But if you are really feeling like you can't take the pressure, perhaps it would be best if Web got a replacement for you? =|

WA, I really want to know when the day's going to end. You've been a little lazy on this, and I really don't want to wake up tomorrow to find that the day has ended, and someone's already been lynched without me being able to weigh in my thoughts. The end of tomorrow seems pretty good for an end date though.

I'm going to bed now, so I hope that the end of the day isn't as close as I think it is, because I'm gonna be pretty cheesed if the day ends tonight without me being able to fight it. Keep us more informed, alright?

I believe he is right about a balance it makes a lot of and as far as i know has precedents. I confirmed there was a unlimited voter but then toony said i could confirm him. i cant and i dont know why he would do this unles he was trying to get into the towns good grace. there is a precedence for this too in the first dwarf mafia in which he particpated.

I was wondering how Diakron was going to confirm ToonyMan. Turns out he was not. I doubt the Unlimited voter will be able to conceal his power for long, so we'll know if Toony is lying about his role soon enough. More importantly, I think we need to ascertain ToonyMan's alignment. This means he needs to post more. And think more before he posts.

Regarding my previous argument about roles and alignments, I am going to stand by my original reasoning. Thus far, the only counterargument was that the alignments were assigned randomly. However, random does not mean uniformly distributed, and the previous rounds seem to indicate that they are in fact not that way.

Alright, should the town attempt to get as much information as possible, by demanding that everyone vote for someone and then calling for a vote count, or should we try to keep as much information as possible away from the scum, and not?

Everyone vote and then do a vote count. However, for the results to be easier to interpret, it would be best if everyone voted for someone different.

What is being suggested here is essentially that all of the multi-voter people do a mass roleclaim, in effect giving the mafia a nice list of who to kill for their first few days. The information that the town would gain will eventually show up through the end of day reports anyway, so why rush it? FoS Zaithemaster.

Because I don't know if the infinity voter is scum or not. I don't want to get into a lylo situation with the infinity voter still alive with infinite votes. That is NOT happening. The risk is just WAY too high.

While this is a legitimate point, I would choose to rather present the town with as much information as possible, even though it would give said information to scum as well. The more information the town can get, the more informed decisions we can make. Besides, one "multi-voter" (more? can't recall and I'm too busy to go back and check right now) has already claimed (the Unknown Voter, Frelock), and that's potentially the most harmful of all of them to the mafia, so I'd guess they'll already be killing him tonight if he's not scum (though there's always the chance that they'd want to have the WIFOM of him still being alive if they want to take risks).

And why "rush" it? Because this is the entire purpose of the Vote Counter's role: to give the town (and mafia, regrettably) as much vote-based information as possible. Besides, if we'll eventually get the information anyway by waiting for end of day reports, why wait? In my opinion, giving the town information as soon as possible is better than waiting for it.

I'd like to say something else but I'll wait until tomorrow to do so, as I have learned that posting late at night, or just when I'm tired, actually, is not to be advised.

Good question (though not particularly translatable to this Vote Mafia with the current known roles). Probably. Or else I would heavily hint toward my being the Hammerer, as I did in the second (?) Paranormal Mafia when I was the Paranoid War Vet (who would kill anyone who came to my house, no matter what they were; I ended up dying while killing a Dopp) though no one seemed to catch my hints, or at least the scum didn't.

In a more relevant example: If I had a role such as the Vengeful Voter from VM2, I would have claimed it on Day 1 to ensure no innocents were hurt, as Leafsnail did. But TM having his random vote land on Leafsnail was hilarious and yet sad at the same time.

Yes, but then:

Alright, I've been reading some things:

I'm going to reveal my role, seeing that Diakron can confirm me.

I am the Unlimited Voter, sorry for the confusion, but I think the Infinity Voter is scum because his role is suspiciously like mine, and so far in these Vote Mafia games, people who have similar roles usually one of them is scum.

The Infinity Voter is also more powerful than me.

I'm trying to wrap my head around why you'd roleclaim. I can understand the whole "wanting to appear town" concept, but this ultimately doesn't accomplish anything. What I mean by this is, if you were in fact town, you wouldn't have to worry about how your power might implicate you, because it'd be your power to use against the mafia, and this only throws you out into the open. By doing this, you've made yourself worthless to the town in a practical sense. So, through this I'm led to believe that this was all aethetics, what do you think about that Toonyman?

Although, I guess my vote doesn't really matter, since your power can overpower everyone else's.

Actually, ToonyMan, the vote counter is the obvious counter to your role, although the infinity voter is another counter as well. However, counter-role |= scum.

Vote Free Beer. Ignore his list, it probably has 2 scum in one of the groups. I think he's scum trying to "clear" a teamate. If not that, then he's just an idiot who might accidentally "clear" a scum in any case.

Do you mind if I question you on your vote of Free Beer? His lists were very sensible, and your accusation is very vague. Can you point out what you don't like about it exactly? What I mean is, if you're going to preemptively accuse him of WIFOM'ing the town, then come out and say it.

So once again, pretty sure.

But if we're going to try to do this vote counter thing, I guess I'll unvote vote Zaithemaster.

Toward that end, I think at one person in each of the following sets: {Infinity Voter, Unlimited Voter, Double Voter, Triple Voter, Fibonacci Voter}, {Vote Counter, Copycat Voter}, and {No Voter, Vote Amplifier, Motivator, Negative Voter, (whatever Pandarsenic's role is), Unknown Voter} is scum.
The reasoning is simple: With that setup, the mafia gets one information gathering power, one lynch power, and one buddying/"unlikely to be scum" power.

I voted him because this is false and he is, in fact, going to wind up WIFOMing the town that way. Think about what's he saying. We've all agree'd that Webadict makes the setup randomly. Thus, he doesn't "balance" the scum team. Well, there you go, we all agree what he's saying is wrong and thus THIS PART OF HIS POST should be ignored.

However, here's something we should consider. It's unlikely that Webadict would allow a Triple Voter, Double Voter, Fibonacci Voter scum-team, especially with the Vote Amplifier and Nonvoter as town. If that's the scumteam, we've already lost unless we lynch them today or tomorrow anyways, so it's a wash. Other than that, except for how everybody uses their role, we really can't deduce anything from roles alone. Period.

Ok, I'm going to Unvote Frelock. Hiding your power isn't horribly suspicious and he owned up to it. So he's off my probably-scum list and back down to possibly scum.

Now, Mr. Person, your logic here seems a bit suspect. I feel that webadict is a perfectly competent GM, and he's NOT going to start the game off with an unbalanced set-up. It's not completely random. It never is, with this many power roles.

So, looking for possible scum-combinations is perfectly good scum-hunting in cases like this. It's true that any 1 role could be scum, so it is random that way. But it's not totally random and I find your attempts to totally squash Free Beer's scum-hunting tactic suspect. How do we know he isn't on to something and you're not just trying to protect you and your scum-buddies?

I'm going to vote Mr.Person for now. He could be right, and Free Beer could easily be scum trying to look helpful why throwing us off the scent. On the other hand, we all did lots of this sort of thing in previous rounds and it was pretty helpful, even when we weren't exactly right.

There is also the possibility that Mr.Person and Free Beer are scum-buddies and trying to bus one another, kind of how Frelock attacked chaoticjosh last round during Day 1. It was a pretty effective tactic, and I wouldn't be surprised if the scum tried the same trick this time.

Hmm...I'll leave my vote on Mr.Person for now, but I'm also going to look at the previous games to see if Free Beer is on to something or if he's just pulling up nice looking 'logic' that doesn't mesh with what actually happened before.. This whole argument is really bugging me for some reason.

While it's true the previous rounds had some fairly balanced role setups and I'm certain the Webadict wouldn't allow GROSSLY unfair and unfun setups, there really is no reason to suggest a list like that. I see no reason that the scum couldn't be, say, the Vote Amplifier, the Fibonacci Voter, and the Motivator. It's pretty crazy in the end-game but if the fib voter gets lynched, that's that.

The only thing I'd be willing to say is that one of the Double Voter, Fibonacci Voter, Triple Voter, Infinity Voter, and Unlimited Voter is probably scum. Hell, I'm not even willing to say THAT for sure. You really can't guess with that kind of thing, stop trying to defend this. It's wrong, we all agree'd the setup was random.

Post by: Mephansteras on August 31, 2009, 12:46:57 pm
What's wrong with guessing like that? What's wrong with coming up with various 'likely' combinations and grilling the people with those roles once we know who they are? It's scum-hunting. The whole point is to make the scum sweat and make a mistake.

Even if you randomly guess the combination of roles and just happen to be right, out of dumb luck, you can sometimes get the scum to panic and give themselves away. Webadict does this all the time in mafia games. He comes up with some random reason for some people to be scum, grills them on it, and watches to see who gives themselves away. He's usually wrong about most of the scum, but it still works well in finding the one out of the batch that is scum. So it's worth it.

Besides, it's day 1, what else do we have to go off of?

I'm not saying it's a correct list, and I'm not saying it's even the best tactic to go on later in the game once we have more evidence to go on. But it's just fine as a day 1 strategy and your insistence that it's incorrect and scummy makes me suspicious. Why do you care so much? What about that list of his makes you so nervous that you're adamant that it's wrong?

Post by: Mr.Person on August 31, 2009, 12:59:44 pm
I care because, at the time, I thought he might of been scum trying to "clear" his friends. His later responses make me think he's not scum, actually. I would unvote him, but the whole vote-counter thing means I've got to keep my vote on someone until he counts. There's still time to find somebody else to vote for. And hey, I guess you're right. I just wasn't a fan of the list, really. That's dangerous WIFOM territory.

chaoticjosh - Vote Stealer      (scum)
Frelock - Vote Seer             (scum)
JanusTwoface - Vote Reporter
Diakron - Twin Voter            (scum)


Here are the role-lists for the last two games, and who was scum.

From what I see here, things look like Webadict did try to balance things pretty well in the previous games. I'm not sure that Free Beer's groupings are necessarily correct (we didn't have groups like that in the last two games), but he's not obviously wrong, either.

I'm still kind of suspicious of both Free Beer and Mr.Person, since that kind of random argument is frequently a scum tactic on Day 1. Make them look like they have nothing to do with each other so no one figures out they are on the same team.
FOS: Free Beer, Mr.Person

I'll leave my vote on Mr. Person for now. At least that way when the Vote counter does his thing I'll show up on it.

I'm going to have to go back through the thread and look at everything else again, though. Mr.Person did at least back down a little bit, and I don't want to focus so much on these two that I miss other clues.

Summary: It's a defense of why we're planning on using the Vote Counter to identify everyone.

at this time Free Beer looks suspicious to me for i do not think that a townie would have decided to give any roles up to the scum this early in the game.

While this is an entirely good reason in some circumstances, I think in Vote Mafias it will just help the scum more than the townies.  Mafia is a game of uninformed majority (town) versus informed minority (scum).  Since the scum are free to share information, they can piece together a pretty good picture of everyone's roles without nearly as much work.  I know this from Vote Mafia 1 when I was scum.  If I remember correctly, I knew all of the roles (or almost all) pretty quickly.

Consider this, at the very beginning of the game, each townie knows of 2 roles and who has one role (their own).  Each mafia member knows up to 6 roles and who has at least 3 of them (if there isn't any overlap, it will probably be better than this).

Overall, it's basically a Mass Claim in a normal mafia game, only we can confirm everyone's claim, rather than having to determine if they are actually telling the truth or lying.

Granted, exposing everyone does give the scum better targets to choose from, but I think it also allows the town to make much more informed decisions and scum-hunt much more effectively.  I think that it's a fair trade in Vote Mafia.

Post by: JanusTwoface on August 31, 2009, 03:30:55 pm
On the other hand (and back to your actual post), Free Beer's post was a little odd to claim.  We would have figured out soon enough with the Vote Counter in the game (although he looks like the Triple Voter today and the Motivator and Vote Amplifier could both mess with that).

And Diakron, why did you vote Free Beer just now?  To each his own play style, but it's generally a good idea to put a little bit of information about why you are voting someone.  If you're town, then we have your suspicious to work with.  If you're scum, we can try to use those bits to trip you up later in the game (sorry, but that's how it goes).

I would like to point out the possibility that one of our less active players (Diakron, Org, RedWarrior0, major_sephiroth) could be the vote counter, and that we may potentially not get our count in time for the Day to end.

Assuming that Frelock and Pandarsenic were telling the truth and that Diakron and Mr. Person have one vote each, that means Org will be lynched. Is everyone happy with that?

If not, I'd like to propose an alternative:
"If you are the Double, Triple Voter, No Voter, or Negative Voter, roleclaim now. If you were hit by the Vote Amplifier or Motivator, say so now."

This will give us the exact same information as what the VC can provide (albeit with some uncertainty), if/when the VC gets off their behind they can confirm the information, and we can move the discussion to more productive venues. Is this proposal reasonable?

I don't follow. I thought you had unlimited (but not fixed) votes, so if you wanted to force a chaoticjosh vote you'd need to say something like "I vote for chaoticjosh a million billion times"?

So, I'm fairly inexperienced and all with mafia, but Toony voting major_sephiroth without giving a reason has a chance of possibly being potentially suspicious, but it could also just be Toony being Toony and an attempt to gauge reaction.

As to your alternative suggestion, I'm Double voter. Vote counter can check and will see that it matches up.

Well, I'm pretty sure all of the players are guys, but if gender is out of the question, and if I had a night kill, I would choose major sephiroth for, well, the same reason Toony voted for him to be honest.

And by not scumhunter, I mean not a cabable scumhunter.

The only people with night kills in this game are the mafia. So you think ToonyMan is voting sephiroth because ToonyMan is mafia?

Even if you really are bad at hunting for scum, that doesn't answer the question of how you expect to win if you're town.

This is suspicious.  That's not at all what I read that as at all.  If I read correctly, ToonyMan was voting major_sephiroth for one of two reasons:
- To avoid lynching chaoticjosh.  I'm not terribly opposed to this idea.  If Josh is town, he could be a valuable asset.  If he's scum, we can kill him later.  And he seems less scummy than normal this time around.  (By that I mean less angry.  ;D)
- To make major_sephiroth talk.  This is the same reason I'm voting.  If sephiroth doesn't show up, then he's get lynched in all likelihood, but lynching lurkers isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Janus, this is pedantic of me, I know, but how come you go out of your way to bold every role you mention? I can understand the first few times, but you haven't really let up on making sure everyone knows that you're saying a role's name.

Toonyman, you're a big ball of obfuscating stupidity, and much like the tvtropes article of the same name, you act dumb while actually being very intelligent. Now, call me resentful of you controlling today's lynch, but I feel that someone in your prodigious position of authority would actually, you know, be more aggressive on others. You've been rather complacent, if I say so myself, and I resent that even more. In fact, I'd even call it a scumtell.

I missed it all! Drat. Anyhow, vote count.

Vote Count

chaoticjosh - ToonyMan (1)
Org - Frelock (4)
ToonyMan - JanusTwoface (1)
RedWarrior0 - Free Beer (1)
Free Beer - Mr.Person, Diakron (1)
Mr.Person - Zaithemaster, Mephansteras (4)
Diakron - RedWarrior0, Pandarsenic (2)

Hmmm...you've got a good point there, Josh. Why would someone with the ability to have an effectively guaranteed lynch not care who they lynch? I know this is Day 1 and you don't have a lot to go on, Toony, but...every other game you start off with some nice list of the people you think are scum. It may not be based in fact, but it is something you do all the time, and actually has a decent track record of finding at least one scum. Why didn't you do that this time?

I have a meeting to go to, but I'm going to try to review this thread before the day ends. Right now, though, my main suspicions are on Free Beer, Mr.Person, and ToonyMan as being the scum team. Mr.Person and Free Beer for what kind of looks like a staged fight, and ToonyMan for rather uncharacteristic behavior.

I guess I'll leave my vote on Mr.Person for now, since my Triple Vote puts us equal with Frelock's 4 votes for Org.

Frelock, do you still think Org is scum? Or do you have a better target for those 4 votes?

@web: Yeah, funny how girlfriends take time away from GMing. I had that issue last night with Paranormal.

Not that I think chaoticjosh isn't scum, mind you, but I feel very confident Free Beer is.

Not that I think chaoticjosh isn't scum, mind you, but I feel very confident Free Beer is.

For the record, Mr. Person, I went after chaoticjosh because of the aforementioned Vote Reporter issue. The mistake of erroneously claiming that there is a Vote Reporter in play is not the sort of mistake that a scum player would make. For that reason, I think Janus is town. I wanted to know if chaoticjosh went along with it because he was not paying attention (thereby implicating him as also town), or if he realized the same thing I did and went along in order to create the illusion that he was not paying attention (thereby implicating him as scum). The fact that he was initially hesitant to report that he wasn't paying attention leads me to believe that the thought was something foreign to him, and I therefore think that chaoticjosh is also town. I'll forgive you for being blind to this.

I'm going to FoS ToonyMan. He said earlier that he was using his power and that the person he was voting for was going to get lynched. However, the vote count has revealed this not to be the case. It is possible that ToonyMan is fake claiming, and the real Unlimited Voter is smart enough not to take the bait and counter claim.

ToonyMan, if you really are the Unlimited Voter, I want you to prove it by voting for two people simultaneously. If you want to conserve your power for a later day, then vote for two people who are unlikely to be lynched (like Pandarsenic and yourself). If that's impossible, Diakron or webadict should be coming along shortly to say that it is in fact impossible. webadict will probably give us at least one more vote tally before the Day ends, so we'll know you're whether you're telling the truth and can refocus our efforts after that.

I'm not quite sure how that logic works Free Beer. Janus is town because he made a mistake? and then I'm town because...?

I'm not quite sure how WA would represent that someone had infinity votes on them. I don't think he has access to the infinity symbol, unless it's something that would be represented by showing them as having 99 votes or something. That, or maybe Toon really does have to vote for someone repeatedly in order to make it work?

You perpetuated Janus' mistake which is something that a scum player is also unlikely to do (except as a WIFOM, which I ruled out), showing that you are also town.

webadict should have access to the infinity symbol. The only issue is that some people's browsers might be configured not to support it, and it will consequently show up as garbage. I'll demonstrate: ∞ <--- shows up as infinity to me.

For some reason I remember someone else mentioned the Vote Reporter and I had that before, so it stuck in my mind.  I see now that it's not actually in the game, so we're going off of the Vote Counter alone.

And although I'm never saddened by being thought of as not scum (and thus not being lynched), I think you should be careful about clearing people based on making mistakes.  It would be really easy for the scum to 'slip up' and make a purposeful mistake and just go with it.

So far as bolding the roles, it makes them stand out easier when I'm previewing, but I can stop doing it if you'd rather.  It doesn't make much difference to me as I'm not going to be the one reading most posts most of the time (;D).

Also, I was confused with the Vote Count, because I thought I was still on major_sephiroth, but apparently I actually did change my vote.  And Toony is still suspicious in my book, so it will stay on him for the time being.  (My vote is correct, I just thought it was wrong.)

Toony and Diakron, could you post again, as clearly as possible (without quoting) how the Infinite Voter and Unlimited Voter work?  I'm just trying to figure out what is going on here.  That could at least tell us how those roles interact with the Vote Counter.

Unlimited Voter - I have unlimited votes (that means I probably have to vote alot actually  :p). However, if the person I vote for lynched, I lose all my votes.

Post by: Mephansteras on September 01, 2009, 01:38:11 pm
Ok, here is the voting history for Day 1 as best as I can determine:

chaoticjosh            Free Beer, Mr.Person, Zaithemaster, unvote, ToonyMan, Zaithemaster
Diakron            ToonyMan, unvote, Free Beer
Free Beer            major_sephiroth, RedWarrior0, chaoticjosh
Frelock            Diakron, Unvote, Org
JanusTwoface    major_sephiroth, ToonyMan
major_sephiroth    Free Beer, unvote, Free Beer
Mephansteras    Frelock
Mr.Person            JanusTwoFace, Free Beer, unvote, Free Beer
Org   
Pandarsenic            Frelock, ToonyMan, Diakron
RedWarrior0            Diakron
ToonyMan            chaoticjosh, major_sephiroth
Zaithemaster    Org, Mr.Person


-------

First off: unvote

Org, why haven't you voted? You've posted a few times, but you've never even done a random vote? Why not? FOS: Org

Josh, your votes have bounced all over the place. Are you just randomly poking people to get a reaction?

ToonyMan, why are you showing up with just one vote? Did you not use your power yet? My FOS: ToonyMan stays on.

Mr.Person and major_sephiroth have both voted Free Beer, unvoted, and gone back to him. Part of that may be because he's acting really suspicious (he is), it might also be similar to what Frelock did last round. So I'm suspicious of both of them. FOS: Mr.Person, major_sephiroth

Obviously, not all of those people can be scum. But it's a good starting point.

Free Beer, however, is almost certainly scum. So I'm moving my votes over to him.

Fake edit: Nevermind Toony...

webadict will probably give us at least one more vote tally before the Day ends, so we'll know you're whether you're telling the truth and can refocus our efforts after that.

Not gonna happen. Only the Vote Count ordered by the Vote Counter includes the number of votes on someone. "Regular" vote counts just have who each person says they're voting for.

But aside from that...will analyze later. I should have time to do it tonight. Should.

Basically, he overreacted to an accusation on day 1. Which is why random voting, especially with reasons for it, can be so effective. If you can hit scum with an accusation they'll often give you some sign of being scum. They might deflect the question, overreact, or whatever. Different people have different tells. But it's a good way to find scum, and the only reliable way to find scum Day 1 (at least in most mafias).

To me it sounded like he was trying to get out of suspicion, nut thats just me.

FB why do you keep point EVERY little thing out? sj*t im womdering when you'll say: he mispeled that me must be SCUM!!!!1111oneone one.

from what i have seen of WA he likes to give a new person to the scum so my vote is stay with you.

Mephansteras, I really like you. In a platonic way, of course, but you're a real calm-type, and I can respect that.

But I suppose if I really had to pick three it would be JanusTwoFace, Zaithemaster, and Frelock. I'm getting a more-town vibe out of those three. But, then, I ended up with Janus and Frelock at end-game last round and wouldn't have thought either one was really scum day 1. So I'm being more suspicious this round.  ;D

This is a broadcast message to the Infinite Voter. I don't know who you are, but now is a good a time as any to use your power. If you do, we will either get a double lynch between me and ToonyMan, or ToonyMan will be lynched by himself (if he's lying). If ToonyMan lynches me due to being the Unlimited Voter, he will have zero votes thereafter and will be useless to the town and will be overlooked if scum.

Hmmm, Free Beer, you do know that if the infinity voter goes up against the unlimited voter, the infinity voter wins, right?

Also, I'm surprised that Toony isn't taking advantage of his role to lynch more than one person.  Heck, he could kill off everybody, but if he tried it, the infinity voter would probably snuff him out.  This makes the infinity voter an important counter to the unlimited voter, which makes me wonder if they're on the same team...

In any case, Unvote and vote Free Beer

Sir Josh will be lynched if nothing changes.

I don't follow. I thought you had unlimited (but not fixed) votes, so if you wanted to force a chaoticjosh vote you'd need to say something like "I vote for chaoticjosh a million billion times"?

Or is it that you are basically an Infinity voter with an "always-on" power?

I asked this a long time ago. You answered in favor of the latter. You could have been mistaken as you say. Or you might not even have access to the Unlimited Voter PM.

I again state that I tried to be reasonable. And that you overreacted and tried to get me lynched. I find it comical that you are repeatedly voting me even though hitting me the first time would have sufficed if you really were the Unlimited Voter. It strikes me as more of an attempt to intimidate me into unvoting you.

Here's an idea which you will never try, because I know you're lying. Vote EVERYONE EXCEPT YOU an infinite number of times. If you are town, it's an instant win for the town. If you are scum, it's an instant with for the scum.

Hmmm, Free Beer, you do know that if the infinity voter goes up against the unlimited voter, the infinity voter wins, right?

Also, I'm surprised that Toony isn't taking advantage of his role to lynch more than one person.  Heck, he could kill off everybody, but if he tried it, the infinity voter would probably snuff him out.  This makes the infinity voter an important counter to the unlimited voter, which makes me wonder if they're on the same team...

In any case, Unvote and vote Free Beer

ToonyMan stated that he received a PM from webadict which answered that the Infinity Voter and the Unlimited Voter would result in a double lynch.

I would post that PM if I were allowed.  If I vote infinite and the Infinity Voter votes infinite, then webadict said it's a double lynch.

Indeed I did.  I get between -5 and 5 votes randomly each day.  Today I got three, and was motivated to 4.

So, here's where we stand; if the infinity voter thinks that Toonyman is not town, he'll vote for Toony and everybody will die.  Game drawn.  If he thinks that Toony is on his team, he will stay silent.  It's all up to the infinity voter.

(Sorry for popping in).

If you want to be technical about it, infinity is defined as "the thing that's bigger than all the other numbers."  Therefore, adding one doesn't do anything.  It's already bigger than all the other numbers, so who cares?

Therefore, infinity + 1 = infinity.  It's an upper boundary, not an actual number.

Oh man.  Really?  That's awesome!  So his role is .......  Never mind.

Side note:
I'm half mathematician in real life and this whole discussion about Unlimited vs Infinite and all that garb is kind of crazy.  It's gets even crazier if you get into the difference between countable infinite and uncountably infinite and even crazier things.

I not sure what web's take on all this is so far as the game is concerned, but I would go with the Unlimited Voter being able to cast any number of votes.  They key though, is that infinite / infinity is not a number.  It's a concept.  So I dunno if you can actually choose to cast infinite votes as the Unlimited Voter.  That's all up to web, methinks.

On the other hand, an actual Infinite Voter just votes once and their vote counts as 'infinity' and cannot be beaten.  Mathematically, you cannot add anything to infinity, it's still infinity.  You can't multiply it, you can't divide, etc.  It's all still on the same order of infinity and thus the same thing.

Actually, this is all theoretical math theory stuff.  So maybe I'm thinking to much.  I'm going to go wonder off again...  ;D

It's quite the scene...

Vote Tally

ToonyMan - JanusTwoface, Free Beer, Diakron (∞)
Free Beer - Mr.Person, major_sephiroth, Mephansteras, Org, Frelock (7)
Mr.Person - Zaithemaster (1)
Diakron - RedWarrior0, Pandarsenic, ToonyMan (∞)
Zaithemaster - chaoticjosh (1)

Seems something malfunctioned in the voting machines. No one can quite pinpoint it, but both ToonyMan and Diakron are eliminated from the game. As they try to leave, they fall into an automated pit. No one can hear them hit the bottom.

Luckily, there seems to be some leftover computer information on them. ToonyMan was an Unlimited Voter, while Diakron was an Infinity Voter. Neither seem to have been guilty of anything...


It is now Night.

Sorry about that little bug there. It's all fixed now. I'll make a quick fix of it for later Rounds.

Unlimited Voter - You have unlimited votes. However, if anyone you vote for is lynched, you lose your power to vote.

Well, that was dumb.

Janus, I don't like you. The reason I don't like you are clear, and it's because you remind of you during Round 1, where you were scum. Active enough to be involved, but not enough to attract attention to yourself. You analyze, but it never amounts to anything. You answer questions, but it smacks of trying to do it as innocently as possible, and frankly, I don't like it.
Title: Re: Vote Mafia, Round 3! (Day 2)
Post by: JanusTwoface on September 03, 2009, 11:10:39 am
Wow.  That was mildly problematic.  So we've lost the Infinity Voter, Unknown Voter, and Unlimited Voter, all of which had powerful roles and all of which were town.

That leaves the Double / Triple Voter, the Motivator / Amplifier, and and Fibonacci Voter eventually for the more powerful voting roles, at least one of which is likely to be scum (just by probability, we haven't found one yet).

I'm currently most suspicious of major_sephiroth at this point.  (Although chaoticjosh is up there just on general principal...)  He hasn't posted terribly much.  (Org is suspicious for the same reason).  I realize this isn't much to go on, I'm still sorting through everything.

So, what does everyone think about the situation thus far?

Specifically, Meph and Zai.  Who do each of you think is the most likely scum thus far?

It's crummy, that's what it is. I had my suspicions, but the pit of my stomach told me that something wasn't right with yesterday. Them (Toon and Diakron) stupidly going at eachothers throat was about as annoying as it could have ever possibly gotten, and was worse in the fact that it removed anyone else's ability to influence the vote.

There's another reason I don't like you though Janus, and it's because you voted for Toony along with Free Beer.

This doesn't really mean much, until you remember the copycat voter. If either your or FB are the copycat voter, then we have another fiasco on our hands with someone controlling today's lynch.

There's also the possibility of Redwarrior and Pandar, who voted for Diakron, but they voted before he revealed himself, and thus it would be a sheer stroke of bad luck if either was the CCV.

That's because I was finished typing my response when he posted that.  I didn't feel like modifying my post to respond to that when I could just write another post.  And I've been paying attention to Weirdo Mafia right now.

Honestly, I didn't think of the Copycat Voter.  I can prove that I am not the Copycat voter, if you'd like me to.  It would require revealing my role, but I'm not terribly worried about that.

So far as my vote for Toony, I'm not the only who thought that he was being suspicious.  He was being somewhat quieter than normal and less zany.  It was enough to vote for him.  And by the time I was going to change my vote, ToonyMan / Diakron were controller the lynch.  So it wouldn't do any good.

And for RedWarrior0 and Pandar, they might not have known it ahead of time, but once they did known, all they had to do is not change.

Well. I'm pretty miffed that TM and Dakrion killed each other. Because they voted infinitely for each other, we didn't have a chance to change the lynch.

I don't mean to be rude Pandar, but I'm a bit suspicious of you as well. I don't remember you contributing much, and the only times you pop up is to remind of us your crappy mystery role.

Did you miss the part where you said he might be the Copycat Voter? That doesn't even make sense. We know his role's name starts with "WEBA", not "COPY". FoS Josh for forgetting about that. But you do have a legitimate point about Pandar not contributing. Why should any of us refrain from getting him killed by saying his role if he's not going to help out and he can't vote?

Also. I am one lazy motherfucker. I never got around to (re-)analyzing things on Day 1, despite me repeatedly saying I would. =/ I'll try and do it tomorrow. Probably not tonight, as I have a lot of stuff I should do, as I had to take a sick day today to sleep half the day away. I've forgotten several things, probably because of all that sleep. So I definitely will need to reread when I have time.

FoS Free Beer. You're still suspicious. I don't trust you any longer. So I guess you have that for all your troubles.

Mr.Person, are you satisfied now that both the Unlimited Voter and the Infinity Voter are out of the game? You wanted the IV (who you said would be a townie after using their power, but you didn't trust to be townie (still doesn't make sense)) to use his power, and he did. And "Nice deflection Janus"? You didn't comment on jack-squat. Not the least of things being that the IV got himself and the UV killed.

Mr.Person and chaoticjosh almost seemed to be working together earlier.  Granted, I didn't exactly answer Josh's post right off of the bat, but I've already explained that.  Kind of suspicious.

And Pandar, you really should come back and post something of value (psuedo-edit: tomorrow I guess :().  It would be really easy for you to end up dead in either case, although (unless it comes down to the end) I doubt I'll be the one to do it.  Also, we all might want to be careful about what we call your role.  It's entirely possible that it's not all of what we think or maybe slightly more.  I wouldn't put it past web to do something like that...

Zai, I wouldn't be to sure about the Unlimited Voter and Infinity Voter being completely gone yet.  Josh did have a point, the Copycat could have grabbed that power.  At least tomorrow (IIRC), we don't have to worry about that.  Although I wonder what would happen if the Copycat voted for himself?  Interesting...

I'm pretty sure nothing would happen if he voted for himself. He'd copycat his copycat ability, which'd put him at square one.

The you not liking and then voting me and then Mr.Person claiming that I was deflecting.  Although that seems a mite obvious if you were actually scum trying to pull that.  So maybe only one of you is scum?

For that matter, did you actually ask me a question at some point that I haven't answered?  If so, I've honestly missed it.  At first I thought Mr.Person was referring to only a few posts back, but it doesn't look like that anymore (no question marks to be seen).

Question wasn't the right word, accusation would of been a better word choice. In any case, there are too many lurkers. This isn't me vs. Janus vs. Zaithermaster.

I've thought about it a lot, and I've decided to roleclaim. I am the Copycat Voter. On Day One, I voted for ToonyMan. Once I found out I got the power, I PM'd webadict and asked exactly what the Unlimited Voter is capable of.

So in short, I have the Unlimited Voter's power. Unlike ToonyMan, I am not opposed by the Infinity Voter. Also unlike ToonyMan, I know exactly what the role is capable of, and how to use its power to the fullest. And unless someone can convince me of a better option, I fully intend to use its power to the fullest.

So. To business.

EVERYONE! THIS IS IMPORTANT!

You are to make a post, stating why you are not scum, and why I should not lynch you today. This post must contain a minimum of FIVE (5) statements in your own defense. These statements must use logic and evidence. Emotional appeals and claims of "I'm not scum!" will not fly with me. You may cite posts in this thread, or you may cite posts elsewhere. If you cite posts elsewhere, I'd appreciate a link. Not making such a post is grounds for lynching.

Didn't dilly dally with this bullcrap Free Beer, if you were mafia, then you'd have already won! Since it's obvious you're town now, just kill everyone. There's NO ONE to stop you.

Please do this. The game can end quickly if this is possible and done.

Um, unless I'm missing something the game is almost over.

If Free Beer's town, he just kills everyone except for himself.  Town wins.
If Free Beer's scum, he just kills all of the townies.  Scum wins.

Of course this is conditional on him being able to
a) Use infinite votes on everyone, which would prevent single votes from breaking the ties.
b) Use conditional voting or vote near the end of the day to otherwise tie the votes.


I guess I should have figured that that would provoke some responses.  So basically, you can only kill one person and then you'll end up dead tonight (if you're town) or tomorrow (if you're scum).

So other than trying to be a confirmed town center without being confirmed, why would we all want to post to defend ourselves to you?

ToonyMan didn't know how to use his power. He should have PM'd webadict for a user manual straight away, like I did. I am guessing that ToonyMan switched his votes over to Diakron at the last minute because webadict let him know he couldn't split his vote.

In any case, I'm going off now. I'm going to expect some quality responses when I get back.

Let's see, I didn't want to WIFOM the town with your lists. I correctly (I don't care what anybody says) asked the infinity voter to use his power before we hit lylo. I haven't been lurking, although I guess you could say I haven't been as active as possible. Also, I'm not going to push a lynch on you if you don't die tonight. That's 100% grade A bullshit WIFOM right there, which I am NOT falling for. Well, unless you do something stupid, of course, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I mean, think about it. If I were you and I was scum, I would of kept silent, trying to get to lylo with unlimited votes in tact. Not sure if I could get away with that, mind you, but that's what I would do if I was scum in your shoes. I guess you could be scum, so I'll keep my eyes open, but I'm doubting it at this point.

I'll come up with some more stuff tomorrow, I'm drawing a blank at the moment.

FAKE EDIT: To the people who don't want to explain to Free Beer: Enjoy getting lynched.

But he can only lynch one of us.

And even if he doesn't die tonight, then it's still possible that he's town, albeit town with a temporary power trip.
And he won't be able to use the Unlimited Voter's ability after today.  The Copycat only lasts for one day.

(Unless he can copy the power he's stolen by voting for himself?)

One possibility is that he's hoping for someone with a different powerful role to reveal themselves.  Then he can vote for them, lynch them, and take the role for the next day, ad nauseum.

Great, we get scum with unlimited power on day 2. Just great.

And, yes, I still think Free Beer and Mr.Person are scum. Free Beer especially, since neither ToonyMan nor Diakron were scum, and he was in the middle of all of that. Not sure on the last scum. I'll have to think on that one.

5 Reasons I'm not scum? I'll have to think on that. I just got internet and we're going to dinner soon, but I'll try to come up with something more compelling then "You're scum and I'm town!" as an argument. But my reasons for thinking you're scum stand. You were very suspicious yesterday and nothing's happened to change that. If you can't just vote everyone and kill us all off nothing that's happened has changed my thoughts on you.

I still think the fight between you and Mr.Person was staged, and I think your fight with chaoticjosh was just a deflection attempt to make you look combative in general once you were called out on it.

Well, here's the thing. Why would he come public with something like that? He's just drawing attention to himself... but he is getting reactions out of people. If Free Beer winds up being scum, it wouldn't shock me, although it would surprise me.  He's just playing like a townie so much it actually hurts the scum. If he is scum, he's just shooting himself in the foot.

Also, Janus, you do see the problem with an unlimited voter voting for himself, right? Also, nothing scummy about trying to get good roles from his ability. It's scummy if he's picking targets because of their ability, but if I were him and I was on the ropes and both people had claimed, I would pick the one with the better ability.

No progress will be made by indulging free beer's power fantasy. It didn't make progress yesterday, and it won't make progress today.

Lurkers like Org and Redwarrior (Red, posting once DOES NOT count as participating!) should not be ignored.

Oh yeah.  Someone how I missed that one  :-\.  Well I guess the Unlimited Voter ends today, which is probably a good thing.  That's what I get for trying to keep up over here with craziness going on in Weirdo Mafia.
For that matter, why in the world didn't you just not post Toony?  You're dead...  (And that's a rhetorical question, don't answer it)

One more thought (so that this post actually has some point):  We may be able to learn something from who Free Beer doesn't lynch if he actually is scum.  Of course my saying this might have screwed that up, but it's still something to think about.  Then again, there's nothing to say that he actually has to use the power he took.  Just that he probably will.

I am fourth-ing this. Mostly just to call bulls**t on the roleclaim. You did, in fact, vote Toony, I checked. But you can only use unlimited votes once, because it is a guaranteed lynch. And Toony was very well informed about his role during his feud with Diakron.  And that feud is why you aren't dead yet. Or are you just big noting yourself to get a reaction? Either way, you can't take us all down, scum.

So yeah, I'm voting Free Beer again.

Rambling thoughts as I reread the thread:

Frelock: Reasonably unspuspicious, at least at first, he's the first one to remind us to post the roles we know about.

ToonyMan: Makes faulty assumption. Talks about being fooled. Oh, the irony.

Frelock: Corrects Toony, vaguely alludes to knowing of the existence of the Motivator d00d, which comes up later.

Free Beer: Demonstrates lack of understanding about the purpose of the random vote stage?

Josh: Demonstrates a total lack of understanding of my role; it's essentially as though I'm scumhunting from outside the game, but can be forced to stop by naming my role. I maintain that anyway who namekills me is scum. First FoS

major_sephiroth: Neglects to mention his second role

Mr.Person: Extremely overcautious about Infinity Voter and Unlimited Voter. He made a valid point about their volatility at Lylo, but since neither was scum, it's possible for him to have been scum trying to eliminate a potentially huge danger; after all, if it's Lylo, one townie votes for the other and the scum hammers, if the one being hammered is the infinity/unlimited, he can vote for one of the other two and use his infinite votes, giving town one last shot at taking out the scum. Second FoS

major_sephiroth: Attempts to negative vote Free Beer while lacking knowledge of his role's power? Halfhearted third FoS. Could be a scumteam or scum trying to draw attention to a townie or an innocent who thought scum or town was innocent. Tells us relatively little. All I know for sure is m_s acts RADICALLY different here from other mafia.

Mr.Person: Jumps on Free Beer over almost nothing. Third FoS, two of those have been on Mr.Person

Free Beer: Mentions "scum roles" and "town roles" and we all know that is a fallacy. Fourth FoS

Free Beer: FUCKING DOES IT AGAIN AFTER WE'VE DECONSTRUCTED IT. Fifth FoS. That's two on him as well.

Zai: Brings up a good point about Mr.Person's vendetta against the infinity voter.

Org: HI GUYS I'M USELESS. Sixth FoS to go out.

RedWarrior0: Insists Diakron is scum. Huh. Encouraging him and Toony to go at it so the supertownpower roles will double-lynch each other?

Zai: Is genuinely helpful to the newblet.

Free Beer and Josh: FoS and Vote one of the people I consider to have acted very townlike. FoS both, Free Beer rapidly approaches HAND OF SUSPICION (OH HEY JOSH VOTES ZAI ON THE NEXT PAGE'S FIRST POST. Yeah. FoS remains)

This is through the middle of page 5 on the only proper number of posts-per-page (the max).

tl;dr:
FoS as follows for pages 1-5-and-a-half
Free Beer x3
chaoticjosh x2
Mr.Person x2
Org x1
major_sephirth x0.5

tl;dr of the tl;dr: Free Beer is a scummy bastard.

Second role? You mean the one I actually am? I plan on keeping that quiet.
I negative voted Free Beer because he seemed alright at the time, and because it would have made next to no difference, and so the vote counter thing could have 'worked'. I realise what I did didn't help the vote counter, but I thought it would have.

Hehe, hand of suspicion. I can see it now: Free Beer has been slapped by the hand of suspicion!

I'm thinking we either have scum infighting a lot to cause confusion or a bunch of townies all fighting while the scum stay silent and laugh at them. But, based on what I've seen, I'm thinking that the scum team is composed of three of the following:

Free Beer, Mr.Person, chaoticjosh, Pandarsenic.

Really not sure which three, other then Free Beer, but I'm almost positive we're looking at all of our scum in that list. They attack one another, they come up with excuses for one another. I don't know, it just seems like this whole game keeps revolving around them.

I can understand me being on your list Meph, but I'm on to something here. Once Free Beer says Pandar's role, the deceit I so strongly suspect will be revealed, and town victory will be much closer. This is a hell of a gamble, but it's necessary, you have to understand that.

I just realized, if we get to lylo and Pandarsenic is alive and not scum, the scum can just day-kill him and win. Unlike the infinity voter and unlimited voter, this is one I DON'T want alive at lylo. Also, FoS Meph for trying to force everybody into his cute little list. He's trying too hard to keep everybody in his little list. It's fine if the other scum are in that list, but I have this odd feeling only one scum is in that list and Meph is bussing him to make 3 townies suspicious.

1: That amounts to little more than "FOS MEPHANSTERAS BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE BEING ON THE LIST"
2: You don't want me alive at Lylo UNLIKE the Unlimited/Infinity? Way to go back on everything you said while inciting the Unlimited Vs. Infinity Faceoff, Scum.
3: Your logic about lylo works except for the part where we've already established that I'm basically a null presence. It just means we're at lylo a day sooner.

Also, Meph, care to comment on that your list of suspicious people = my three suspicious people with me added to it?

I refuse to believe so many good players can be so goddamn retarded. I'm not a liability, I'm a null presence; I can be present and I can post analysis like I did, but that's it; I am, effectively, an outside judge; the only reason someone would namekill me is to throw suspicion away from me. I would namekill myself after posting all my analysis to prove a point but I want to force scum to do it.

Er, I just got back from some minor surgery, so sorry if that didn't make sense.

"The only reason someone would namekill me is to throw suspicion/WIFOM on those who were suspicious of me, those I was suspicious of, and any townie stupid enough to namekill me."

Of course, groups A and B are almost entirely the same, so if I explode, we know who needs to be lynched.

Way to completely avoid why I'm suspicious of you Pandar. Way to completely avoid bringing up the PM's where I'm harassing you for more information.

I'm saying you're not completely truthful of your role, and this is a giant reverse-psychology rigmarole in order to keep you alive as long as possible, to fulfill an ulterior motive!

Even though your role name is obvious enough, I'm willing to bet that there's stipulations you haven't told us, and something special will happen once it's spelt out completely.

Since you don't have a vote, I'm saying it'd be safer to just have a likely scum (Free Beer) kill you, and we'll all be much better off, since we'll be more knowledgeable for the better.

Also, Meph, care to comment on that your list of suspicious people = my three suspicious people with me added to it?

Honestly, it's because those three are the ones who've been the most suspicious and I think we all know it. I add you to the list for two reasons:

It's possible that you made that list to bus two scum-buddies and save yourself. I think this is unlikely, because your role as you've stated it would mean that the scum almost certainly lose since you have no vote.

however...

You're on that list because unlike every other role we only have your word to go on with how it works. You've proven that web prints out a letter of the name every time you vote, and that you (usually) have no vote. But the only way to prove that everything else you've said is true is to name-kill you. (Or if the scum night-kill you and you're town, I suppose). But doing that is risky since it either casts great suspicion on the person who does the name-kill and possibly does something worse to them (like day-kill them instead of you). We just have no way of knowing the truth without risking things going badly for us.

And...well...he's 'always scum'. Which is WIFOM, I know, but...I keep thinking about that.

I'm going off to go hiking in a bit. I'll try to get on tonight and do some more in-depth analysis.

In the meantime, does someone want to take a look at our lurkers/sideline players? It's still possible that the scum are laughing at us as all the active players fight amongst themselves and leave the quiet players to watch. I don't want to get so wrapped up in my own suspicions that I ignore that possibility.

There's too many lurkers. I agree that Pandarsenic is a null presence who will be dead very, very soon, but there's so many lurkers I can't really say anything about them. Still, here we go:

Free Beer: Scum.
major_sephiroth: Probably scum, but I dunno.
Mephansteras: Leaning scum slightly. You of all people should remember we have a billion and one lurkers, yet you think the entire scum-team is active people? Hmm...
chaoticjosh: Not sure, hard to read. Thinking town.
Frelock: I'm thinking he's town.
Pandarsenic: Unimportant.

Pandarsenic: Where did I say I wanted the Un/Inf Voters dead? I said I wanted the Infinity voter to use his/her power BEFORE we got to lylo. Also, I didn't incite the thing, it was ToonyMan who fucked it up. The scum were probably loving it, the 2 top town players voting each other off. The rest of the town were probably thinking one of them was scum, doesn't shock me nobody spoke up, least of all you. Don't blame me for something I didn't start or intend to happen.

I actually can't be scum, just for reference. Why? The reason is a bit meta, but the reasoning is sound; I got the Weba_ role because our wonderful mod forgot I'd signed up, which is also why nobody knows about it.

The full scum team had already been selected by the time I was given my role (several hours into the first day).

The votes on him are supposed to be so that if he's lying, he gets lynched. Actually, I think he should exactly equal the number of votes that are put on somebody else, so we get a double lynch. Doesn't have to be on Free Beer, mind you, but I would like it to be.

Since I've got zero reliable information to go on, I elect not to use my power to force a lynch, in hopes that the rest of the town as a collective will come to a better decision than just I myself. If this means I'll be the one lynched, then so be it - even though I know myself that the town is making a mistake doing so.

I am fourth-ing this. Mostly just to call bulls**t on the roleclaim. You did, in fact, vote Toony, I checked. But you can only use unlimited votes once, because it is a guaranteed lynch. And Toony was very well informed about his role during his feud with Diakron.  And that feud is why you aren't dead yet. Or are you just big noting yourself to get a reaction? Either way, you can't take us all down, scum.

So yeah, I'm voting Free Beer again.

When I did this to ToonyMan, he tried to intimidate me into submission, which resulted in the current fiasco. I know firsthand that what you are doing is a very stupid move. I will not allow the same thing to happen again. Instead, I provide evidence for my roleclaim:

I direct ZERO votes at Pandarsenic.

I think we can all agree that I am not the No Voter, the Unknown Voter, or the Negative Voter, due to information from the previous Day's vote count. Therefore, I think we can all agree that the only way I could possibly have zero votes today would be if I indeed were the Copycat Voter, and I willfully made my votes to have a value of zero through the use of the Unlimited Voter's power. If the Vote Counter does his thing, my role is officially confirmed. Sound good to you?

Once Free Beer says Pandar's role, the deceit I so strongly suspect will be revealed, and town victory will be much closer. This is a hell of a gamble, but it's necessary, you have to understand that.

You said yourself that Pandarsenic is obviously running some sort of reverse psychology ploy, and I concur. I'm not going to say his role's name. Instead, I offer the following alternative proposal: a side effect of being the Copycat Voter is that I learn the role information of who I vote for. If I vote for Pandarsenic today, I will be able to independently confirm whether he is fudging some facts about his role on Day Three.

Furthermore, if Pandarsenic is indeed telling the truth and people still think I am scum, they get to namekill me, and me alone, by saying my role's name on Day Three. A simple, yet effective plan, do you not agree?

If my vote counted for anything it'd be on Free Beer. :I

Not-edit: Hey webmobile, if the CopyCat Voter copies my role:
1) Does it only happen if I have AT LEAST ONE VOTE on my by that person?
2) Do we say "He's the Copycat Voter" or by saying "He's the weba_ role" for the kill? Can we kill him? Does saying he's the weba role also kill me since we know where he got it from if we share the weba_ kill condition?

Also, once all the letters are revealed, do I die even if nobody says, "OH HEY YOUR ROLE IS WEBA_" just because everyone can see it?

I can answer the first one. The copycat gets the power of whoever they vote for. Therefore, even if I direct zero votes at you, I still get the power, since I voted for you.

The only way my plan could fail is if webadict requires a one day time delay between copies, which is something that I regretfully did not confirm in advance.

Hmm, strange. Free Beer, you being fine with being lynched makes you even more scummy, imo. It's also stupid. Doesn't matter what team you're on, you should at least vote off somebody else. If you're town, you should be ok with lynching somebody else and yourself. If you're scum, you still might be ok with getting lynched, trying to trick everybody into thinking you're town, but you really shouldn't be. I have no idea why you would be ok with getting lynched, but I don't like the fact you are. In any case, Free Beer, you really should vote somebody else off. Doesn't matter if you're the Pandarsenic role for whatever reason you want to be, you should go after and lynch the scum. Period. Anything else is scummy.

Free Beer, as it stands, your little plan is nothing more than a drawing in dirt. You may get to vote Pandar, and learn of this unique role, but as it stands, you are the single most suspicious person here, and will get lynched before you can do anything with that information. I'm not the only one who thinks you are scum either, so I call upon the rest of the town:
If you are suspicious of Free Beer, vote for him.

Want to stop me Free Beer? Then lynch me. Then get lynched the next day. Face it, your plan, no matter how good you think it is, is pathetic, and you have not thought ahead far enough. You can only control the lynch once, and on one person. You are going down Free Beer, make a nice crater.

Without looking back in the thread I have these:
He was in the middle of the Toony/Diakron debate, which he himself said he was a part of.
The whole copycat voter escapade.

That and I want to screw over his less-than-well-thought-out plan.

Now that I look back slightly, I have this quote:
When I did this to ToonyMan, he tried to intimidate me into submission, which resulted in the current fiasco. I know firsthand that what you are doing is a very stupid move. I will not allow the same thing to happen again.
This proves he was in the middle of it, and he says he egged it on slightly.

And to be honest, he is the only one who I think is scum at the moment.

I don't care whether what I do is scummy at this point. Not a single person has taken anything I've done seriously. I tried being fully transparent about my thoughts this game, and it failed magnificently. I even got a little offended when people selectively read into what I was saying and used what I thought were good ideas as excuses to accuse me of being scum. I'll know better next time.

If I force a lynch for someone today, it's going to be essentially a random vote, since I suspect everyone equally now. Probability says I've got a 1/3 chance of hitting scum. If I do this, people will waste a day lynching me tomorrow anyway, since they think I'm scum and I'll most likely have hit town. In effect, I'll have given the scum a free day. I'm smart enough not to take this bet. My current proposal is much better.

Or, alternatively, I could just let everyone lynch me, and when I flip as a town-aligned Copycat Voter, people will finally know I'm telling the truth. Both of these are good strategies this round.

Sidenote - wasn't the day supposed to end hours ago? Vote Day Extension, on the off chance the Vote Counter shows up and clears my role, at least.

No. FB's excuse for this is quite sound. He claims to not have reasonable evidence, and will therefore not use his copied ability to the full power of lynching whoever he wants. You seemingly not caring who he lynches is more scummy than him not utilizing the ability.

M_S and Org are scum. Hint: Never defend anybody else as scum unless their attacker is completely baseless. Even then, be wary of aiding your scum buddies.

However, this would appear to violate my assertion that M.P is scum, as they disagree with each other. However, this would just be common in-fighting, to distance the scum from their fellows.

I think M.P is more suspicious than FB right now. Though an attempt to get on the town's good graces by not dominating the lynch could be a good last scheme.

[Pre-Post Edit:] M_S is scum. Stop the damn gloating, dude. It ruins your cover. I'm tempted to switch my vote from M.P to you.

Yeah...no. I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying it's okay (in theory) for him not to try and use that power of his to lynch someone if he's not sure who is scum; him lynching at random could be more anti-town than voting regularly. But he should vote like a regular person, at least; I agree with you there. It's just when he controls the lynch, him choosing at random could set the town behind 2 days if he's town (one if he lynches a townie, a second for the rest of us to lynch him), 1 if he's not (he lynches a townie, we lynch him and he's scum), or possibly get us ahead if he lynches a Mafioso.

But really. If you're so sure he's scum, then why the hell would you want him to control the lynch? That doesn't make sense. Going by your belief that FB is scum, you're trying to make him lynch a townie (because if he's scum, then why would he want to lynch his brethren, as we still wouldn't be satisfied he's town? He'd just get lynched tomorrow). This is exactly why you're scum.

As I had previously stated, I suspect everyone equally. When I went over everyone's Day One actions on a person-by-person basis, I came to the conclusion that everyone else could reasonably be scum. This is impossible, of course. I had tried to remedy the situation through my "blackmail *everyone* into defending themselves" plot, but that fell through.

So, if I absolutely had to force someone's lynch, I'd quite literally use a random number generator that is uniformly distributed over the nine possibilities.

If I was scum and I was going to encourage him to super-lynch, I would of done it in the scum-chat. In fact, if I was scum, he would of just lynched a townie and be done with it. WIFOM, I know, but it really is true. This is making me think there isn't anybody who's really good on the scum-team. Of course, there's WIFOM, so there you go. Too much WIFOM for my tastes. In any case, when I wanted him to lynch, I wanted him to lynch who he thought was suspicious. Of course, since either he's a townie who literally has no suspicions or a scum who doesn't want to associate with anybody, it's a moot point. Still, if he's going to copy the Pandarsenic role, we could wait til tomorrow and name-kill him and Pandarsenic. On the other hand, I think Pandarsenic is town and Free Beer is a really stupid townie or a really stupid scum, so yeah. Unvote and vote Free Beer. Your refusal to name any suspicions is what gets me. Of course, we SHOULD all do his little exercise, not for his benefit, but for the town's. The fact that nobody else wanted to do it is something I find suspicious.

Ok, I don't think Free Beer is scum while Pandarsenic is town. The optimal play for Free Beer in that case would be to infinite vote off the most powerful town member (Triple voter/Doubler voter/Fibonacci voter), night kill another powerful town member, we would then be at lylo in that case if everybody had 1 vote and let Free Beer kill off Pandarsenic. Of course, we would probably lynch Free Beer in that case, so it's a wash, but at least he could take away a lynch from us. I think we can safely say the scum team is not the triple voter/double voter/copycat voter, in any case. If that was true, the scum would of won already. I also don't think the scum is triple/fib/copycat or triple/double/fib or triple/copycat/motivator or triple/copycat/amplifier or triple/double/motivator or triple/double/amplifier. Maybe I should make a list...

Wait...what if Free Beer doesn't actually have any votes today? ToonyMan used his power yesterday, so he'd have 0 votes today. It's possible that Webadict set up the system so that the Copycat voter can't just vote for the Unlimited/Infinity voter after they use their power to get the power.

If that's the case, then he's pulling a gambit and can't actually lynch anyone (which may be why he's been so wishy-washy about it).

On the other hand, I think Pandarsenic is town and Free Beer is a really stupid townie or a really stupid scum, so yeah.

Pot. Kettle. Black. Let's see: your post insults me, votes for me, and is filled to the brim with inconsistencies. You are obviously trying to bait me into using my unlimited votes against you. Such a plan will only work if you are town and I am scum. Since I am town, your plan autofails. So yeah.

I can confirm that this is not the case. If it were, I'd have tried to keep a low profile today.

I think people should just let me live until tomorrow. I PM'd webadict about time delays earlier today and he answered that there are none. My plan is foolproof; I can lay the Pandarsenic issue to rest once and for all, and anyone who still thinks I am scum can use one of the no doubt numerous modkill conditions attached to Pandarsenic's role to off me then.

Bolding mine. Just let you live?? If you have unlimited votes we can't stop you from living today! And you're behavior is still scummy. If you think Pandarsenic is scum or detrimental to the town just go ahead and kill him. If you don't think he's scum, why aren't you looking for scum? If you can just kill off anyone you want go find the most scummy person here and kill them.

I think you're scum and you're unable to actually kill anyone today, so you're trying to confuse us into letting you live another day. Preferably, I'm sure, by having us lynch another townie. No, my vote stays on you. Once you die we can look at the voting records and figure out who your scum-buddies are. Or, on the off chance that you're just really bad a playing town, we'll be able to figure out who was scum and using you to kill off townies.

If I was scum and I was going to encourage him to super-lynch, I would of done it in the scum-chat. In fact, if I was scum, he would of just lynched a townie and be done with it.

No. This would only be if you and FB were scum. Which at this point in time I do not believe to be the case.

Let me get this straight: Everyone wants me to decide who gets lynched, to the point of voting me when I say I can't decide it by myself. Furthermore, when I tried to gather enough information to decide it for myself, nobody played along and instead just sat back and accused me of being scum.

Wonderful. A sociologist would have a field day.

You want me to decide who to lynch? Fine. Unvote.

All my votes are now on JanusTwoface. Janus, I don't like the way you've been lurking. It strikes me as someone deliberately trying to fly under the radar. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Oops.

Free Beer is right, oddly. FoS everybody who refused to argue why they shouldn't be lynched.. which, oddly, I think is everybody else. Moot point, I guess. Still, it's almost like the scum expected him to get lynched and so didn't even bother trying to defend themselves.

- Can we get an official end time for the day?  Preferably a time rather than time left, but either works.
- If we have a firm time by which people have to post, it might bring a few more lurkers out to play.
- For future games, there should be some way to discourage lurkers.  But that's just my opinion and doesn't really need to be addressed at this point.

Short version (for any of you still on Dial-Up  :-\):
- It was Labor Day weekend, so I've not been paying terribly much attention to my computers.  I'm back now.
- Please don't lynch me, I'm innocent!
- Vote Free Beer (OMGUS is pointless if he's telling the truth and if he's lying, why wouldn't we lynch him?)
- Mr.Person and major_sephiroth are next on my suspicion list (although there might be lurkers that I'm missing).
- One of the scum is likely to be a lurker.  With (at least) two more active players, it would be even easier to hide under lurking.

That's not exactly what I meant.  I never thought that the idea of defending yourself in that manner was a good idea.  "Maybe it was a better idea" was trying to look at it from the point of view of the scum team.  It would have been a good plan for the scum trying to collect information if it had worked better.

I would much rather that he not vote me but he does look somewhat scummy.  If he is, then he knows I'm town and there no particular reason to change his vote.  Personally, I'd rather him not use his power, but if does use it, than yes, I would prefer major_sephiroth or you (in that order).

I think that it would be enough information to figure out the roles, unless one is very careful.  Also, I think I might disagree more with how Free Beer proposed the original idea than the idea itself.  I tend to get a little twitchy when someone says "defend yourself or die."

Post by: Mr.Person on September 07, 2009, 02:04:06 pm
Yes, but my first response was to defend myself. At that point, it didn't matter if he was scum or town, I was operating under the assumption that if I didn't defend myself, I'd die. So, you know, I defended myself. Of course, I was also operating under the assumption at least a few of the rest of you guys were also going to defend yourselves, but whatever.

Oh I should have been targeted. I spearheaded the entire campaign against Free Beer, and as such I thought I was going to go down, martyr style. He seems too legitimately remorseful to be scum at this point.  And I don't post much, but I still post to defend myself (like this post) or if I have something to say.
I'd like to hear from chaoticjosh, JanusTwoface, Mephansteras, RedWarrior0, major_sephiroth, and Org.

The first four because they haven't posted in forever, and the latter two because one of them is obviously the Negative Voter from the recent vote count, yet they both voted me due to "suspicion."
Yeah, I'm not the negative voter. I know of the negative voter, see early on and my confusion.

"Quite the lie there, eh Free Beer?"

After a quick tussle, Free Beer is thrown from the window of the building. He lands with a satisfying splat. Rummaging through his hat, which was quite possibly his prized possession, everyone finds he was the Copycat Voter.

Even more disturbing is the fact that he seems to have been part of those evil-doers that do evil.

Waiting until a Vote Count reveals you to do so (or not having a vote present on either the Vote Counter's Vote Count or the end of the day Vote Tally) is even more scummy, so don't even try.

You are correct. Your vote for Pandar was counted in the Vote Count, and you didn't unvote in the topic after that.

Now looking at the structure of your post, I can DEFINITELY imagine a mafioso writing this. Major_Sephiroth. Although, this hunch is just experience talking.

I'm still wondering what the hell was up with Free Beer. Did he actually have unlimited votes, but was trying to dissuade us? Or did he really have a useless power? His actions don't make sense either way.

Josh, my bet is that since the person Toony voted for got lynched, Free Beer would have had 0 votes.
Meph, if I cared whether Free Beer got lynched, I would never have got people to vote for him.

Sorry, I don't really buy it. A fake bus is pretty common scum behavior and is characterized by exactly that. Riling up people against your scum-buddy but then unvoting in the hopes of looking town while not actually directly hurting your team.

Post by: Zai on September 10, 2009, 06:22:14 pm
Hmmmm..

Major Sep. Remorse is a sign of weakness.

I point my Giant Finger of Suspicion at Org. If I had 2 votes, I'd vote for you, too. I am fairly certain the remaining mafia members are major_sephiroth and Org. Or at least Org.

Org because of various things which should be apparent to anyone paying attention. Also because Org did not address the very important question in my last post. Him answering that question could have done away with some of my suspicions of him. Him not answering it in his next post after I asked it has greatly increased my suspicions of him. Not answering questions is a delay tactic, to provide time to think about it, and (if scum) a way to provide time to discuss how to answer it with fellow scum. If he was town, he would have no reason not to answer the question immediately. There's also his pathetic "reasoning" behind voting M_S shown in the quote above. "Remorse is a sign of weakness"? No. Remorse is a sign of being human, which (as far as I'm aware) we all are. But really? A "sign of weakness"? This is motherfucking forum Mafia. Lynching isn't survival of the fittest; it's survival of the wittiest. You have to talk your way in and out of things, especially when you're scum. Emotions can be a good thing (when trying to get someone to un/vote someone) and a bad thing (when giving in and un/voting someone). Sure, giving in to emotional appeals is a "weakness". But having weaknesses does not come anywhere close to meaning someone is scum. A townie should not vote based on someone having "weaknesses"; everyone has them. A townie should vote based on behavior, actions, and words. Saying "Remorse is a sign of weakness," is, as M_S pointed out, a really obvious bandwagon.

And M_S. He's done a decent job of subtly linking himself with Org, whether he realizes it or not. Whenever M_S's vote has been counted on a vote count, it has been with Org. Before, he defended Org when M.P attacked him (though to be fair, it was to defend his vote for FB, who we now know to be scum).

I vote Org. And I FoS M_S and Josh. One of these three is the Fibonacci Voter, but none came forward like a townie Fib should.

Yeah, we still don't know for sure what Org is. Although I still think he's the Negative voter.

More interestingly, JanusTwoFace sent a few of us a PM last night saying he was the Amplifier and used his ability on Org last night. I want to see if he has 0 votes now or -2.

Org, can you please vote for someone who doesn't have any votes against them? (I don't care who)

Once Org has done that, can we have the Vote Counter give us a count?

You piss me off Zai. Everything you say and do pushes a button of mine, especially this obvious rolefishing.

If it matters one little bit to you however, and seeing as how it'll be revealed at the end of today anyhow, I'm the fibinacci voter. Congratulations on your non-effort. I've even received an extra vote from somebody, for a total of 3 today. I'm not sure if it's ever occurred to you though Zai, but secrecy helps the town as well as the mafia.

Sanctimoniously declaring a certain action to be pithily town makes me unendingly aggravated, as well as suspicious of you.

Heh. I guess that works, Org. Now we'll have to see what the Vote Counter says.

chaoticjosh - Claimed Fibonacci
Free Beer - Copycat Voter
ToonyMan - Unlimited Voter
Mr.Person - No Voter
Frelock - Unknown Voter
Org - Negative?
Diakron - Infinity Voter
Zaithemaster - Vote Counter or Motivator?
Mephansteras - Triple Voter
RedWarrior0 - Double Voter
major_sephiroth - Vote Counter or Motivator?
JanusTwoface - Vote Amplifier
Pandarsenic - Pandarsenic special

Not positive on everything, but it should be mostly accurate.

Where is RedWarrior0, anyway? He still haven't said anything.

In that case, Zai, so the VC can prove I'm double.

I didn't use my votes because if FB was telling the truth, someone was screwed, and if he wasn't, he was pretty much lynched anyway.

Blarg, I was hoping to get nightkilled, but I am in fact the nonvoter. Oh well, plan failed. In any case, I'd also like to say I got a vote yesterday. I was asking earlier to talk to who did it, since at the time nobody had claimed, but it's not a big deal now. I was going to say I have a slight trust boost to who it was, but I'm thinking that was Janus's doing. It's hard to know this stuff.

Chaoticjosh and Mephanasteras cannot both be scum, btw. Pandarsenic, you've been active lurking. Since voting you would be an exersize in stupidity, I think I dislike how Org has also been active lurking. What do you say?

Org is being useless, but he always is - as irritating as this is, it's a null tell where he's concerned.
Title: Re: Vote Mafia, Round 3! (Day 3)
Post by: Mephansteras on September 11, 2009, 10:43:11 am
Yeah, I'm always of two minds about lynching Org. One the one hand, he's generally only as useful for the town as whatever ability he has (see the Paranormal games for Org being useful). But figuring out if he's scum is tough, since he doens't have many tells any more. So lynching him is just a 1/x chance of finding scum, kind of like a random lynch.

I'm more in favor of looking for someone who has actually given us some evidence of being scum before worrying about Org. Even if he does turn out to be the last scum, if he's the Negative voter like I think he is he's not exactly a huge threat.
Title: Re: Vote Mafia, Round 3! (Day 3)
Post by: Mr.Person on September 11, 2009, 12:21:09 pm
Yeah, we should keep Org on since as town he can prevent some of the autowins the scum has. As scum, he's not particularly dangerous, although I suppose if he's with the triple voter or the Fibonacci voter, it could be a problem, but then again, who ISN'T a problem with a scum Fibonacci voter or triple voter?

Wow, Org. Really? You're still not going to address anything? Not even going to try to lie defend yourself this time? Not even with "lol i'm not scum"? Since both Josh and M_S have come forward with their roles: Why did you use your negative vote on FB TWICE (both Day 1 and 2 at the end of the day)? To try and help your scum buddy out a little?

I'm doing this to put pressure on Zai, who seems to like his fingers of suspicion.

I'm not sure I see the alleged pressure being put on me. Care to explain?

And yes, I am the Vote Counter. But RW0, I see little reason right now to order a VC. There is little or no dispute right now that you indeed have 2 votes. What Meph was saying in that quote of yours was not that he doubts you have 2 votes (he even says you have 2 votes); he was saying that he wanted to know why someone with multiple votes would not put those votes to use.

Also, if M_S turns out to not be scum, I currently believe Meph to be the last scum (along with Org).

Sanctimoniously declaring a certain action to be pithily town makes me unendingly aggravated, as well as suspicious of you.

I apologize, Josh. I did not mean that revealing yourself was a move only a townie would make, but that not doing so (delaying what is inevitable by the end of the day) seems scummy to me. I see no reason for the FV to not be revealed at the beginning of the day they get their 2nd vote (when it matters to town), as it will be known at the end of that very day, when it matters only to scum.

But maybe one day we'll both be scum. On that day, the universe will explode rejoice.

Eh, I'm suspicious of you for various things. But I don't really think you're scum right now. You're just next on my imaginary list of suspicions after Org and M_S, quickly followed by everyone else.

Now, another. I don't like Org, he calls homework, but I call bullshit. Even when attacked, it's like he's not even aware that he's being attacked, and has YET to do anything helpful. It's very odd, and I don't like it.

Mephansteras. To be honest, I'd probably say Meph is the most likely to tbe town. He was the first person to vote Free Beer and challenge his power, which is something that strikes me as something a townie would do. Something's chiding me hard though, and it's making me uncertain.

Mr.Person, he's been confrontational, but I can't help but feel that alot of his arguing is broken.

Now, running on the logic that a scum motivator would always motivate scum, I suppose that would VINDICATE you wouldn't it?

Unfortunately, I don't buy it. Using that for evidence seems like grasping at straws, and I'm all the more convinced of your scumminess.

I thought this was fairly obvious after you and Josh claimed and the only 2 roles that were left unknown were the VC and NV, with only me and Org left with unknown roles. Using past voting records, I'm obviously not the NV, so I must be the VC. But whatever. I'll include a modified version of Janus's list of roles at the end of this post for quick reference.

I'm willing to go out on a limb and say the following:
As with previous Vote Mafias, it is likely that webadict attempted to balance the scum team. If two people have similar powers, I'm willing to bet at least one is scum.
Toward that end, I think at one person in each of the following sets: {Infinity Voter, Unlimited Voter, Double Voter, Triple Voter, Fibonacci Voter}, {Vote Counter, Copycat Voter}, and {No Voter, Vote Amplifier, Motivator, Negative Voter, (whatever Pandarsenic's role is), Unknown Voter} is scum.
The reasoning is simple: With that setup, the mafia gets one information gathering power, one lynch power, and one buddying/"unlikely to be scum" power.

Remember that? Oh, look at this! He paired himself up with the vote counter! What say you, Zaithemaster?

My thinking is, if you're both scum, when one of you died, the other could try and convince the town that the list is true and that makes the living one less suspicious. Of course, he could of known somebody would think that and pair himself up with a townie, but that's WIFOM and I'm not going down that road.

Yes, you're not understanding something. I'm saying the WIFOM would be him pairing up with a townie, because that doesn't make a lot of sense. It makes even less sense when you consider that he had control over the groups, and they were totally arbitrary. If you were town and you were lynched first, it just incriminates Free Beer using his own logic. If you were scum and got lynched first, however, Free Beer could use his list to defend himself and have a potentially good argument to defend himself, depending on the circumstances. What did you guys think is the WIFOM?

Lemme try this again, since this is confusing. The WIFOM would be, "Aha, I knew they would lynch me, so I evilly paired myself up with a townie so they would lynch the townie! Mwhahahahaha!" (Free Beer talking)

What I don't get is that, since it's WIFOM, why is it being factored as evidence AT ALL? It's superficial evidence, that's why it's called WIFOM, and I don't understand why you're actually using it to make a judgment.

I'm not. The WIFOM would be him pairing up with a townie. The non-WIFOM is him pairing up with a scumbuddy.

In any case, that alone really isn't enough for me, but what convinced me was what happened right after Free Beer posted that list. Zaithemaster then attacked me for disagreeing with the "truth" of the list. Then we got in a tussle... right until I saw Free Beer as town, at which time he instantly moved onto somebody else. Then Free Beer never mentions the list again, yet I keep getting nailed for disagreeing with the list.

Wow. M.P. I had actually not been suspecting you for a while. But then you just go and pull this out of nowhere. You obviously don't know what WIFOM is. I'm not going to try to explain it to you, because Josh has already tried and hasn't succeeded. But really? This?

I'm gonna be honest: I'm not in a good mood right (I'm sick and tired), so this is hard for me to talk without using expletives, but I'll try. But this is not true at all. I never agreed with FB's lists. I went after you again not just because of this, but because of things that had happened prior to that. But here's what you're allegedly referring to as me attacking you for disagreeing with the "truth" of FB's list:

FoS Mr.Person again for voting for someone based only (apparently) on the fact that they made lists, and being antagonistic about it. But FoS Free Beer at the same time because M.P has a point (the irony, I know), though there's not enough to vote for someone because of it.

Notice the lack of me saying anything about his lists being true. Notice also that I didn't go after FB because I believed his lists; I didn't and still don't. Stop twisting what I say to try and incriminate me with faulty logic.

But oh, the irony. You attacked FB for his lists before, and are now attacking someone because of those very lists. That's a horrible and inconsistent thing to do. I unvote and vote Mr.Person.

Really? I can't recall attacking somebody because of the list. Well, unless you mean Free Beer, but the circumstances are different now.

Free Bear's list is, pure and simple, a look into what he was thinking or planning. I'd like to hear what the rest of you have to say about Free Bear's little list, the rest of the thing's he's said, and how people have been interacting with him.

Also, I know good and well what WIFOM is, thank you very much. You don't see me saying you don't know what OMGUS is, because I know you do. Aha, but since you know that I know that you do, you know that OMGUS is a bad move to make as scum, so you would only do it as town. See, I know what WIFOM is.

Post by: Mephansteras on September 14, 2009, 05:34:12 pm
Think for myself?? I was the first to vote for you today. And my reasoning still stands. Your actions this entire game point to you being scum with Free Beer. You vote each other early day 1, you quickly unvote each other, you press for a lynch day 2 but then unvote him before the actual lynch and don't even bother to find someone else to vote for. It all seems scummy.

After you, I'd have to say I'm most suspicious of Org and RedWarrior0 as being scum. Org for voting Free Beer even though he was the Negative Voter (trying to save Free Beer while looking town, perhaps?) and RedWarrior0 for not voting yesterday even though his role gives him two votes. Both are odd and very suspicious to me.

I'm grilling you because you're giving off pretty major scum-tells. More importantly, I'm voting you because you're giving off some major scum-tells.

But, sure, I'm still curious to hear who you think is scum.

All of you decide to lynch major_sephiroth! He begs for mercy, but you throw him into the fireplace. It'd probably be more horrible if it was lit, but instead the large amount of soot gives him a severe allergic reaction that kills him.

You look through his stuff and find he was a Motivational Voter! He was also a law-abiding citizen. That sucks.


It is now Night.

This morning you find chaoticjosh dead. It's a real shame too, because he was a Fibonacci Voter, and, according to the math, YOUR ONLY FRIKKIN' CHANCE!

You see Mephansteras and Org holding batons. Which is totally against the rules, but they're looking pretty menacing, so no one stops them.

Mephansteras hops on top of a table and shouts,
"All of you, gather round!"

Everyone gathers round. Org strikes a menacing pose.

"Let's just say that I hold a significant portion of the votes. Namely, more than all of you combined. So, we're going to play a game..."

Someone holds up their hand, "What kind of game?"

Mephansteras points the baton at him and says, "That's a very good question. Org, show him."

Org marches over to him, beats him to death and then strikes another menacing pose.

"Oh, seems he lost. Looks like everyone else loses too..."

When the house was finally opened, Mephansteras and Org had escaped, possibly to a neighboring county. Everyone was dead inside, save one. And his name was spoke aloud. And he died.

Knew Org. Had suspicions of Meph, but still would've gone after M.P instead, probably.

I'm too lazy to do the math. Had we double-lynched Org and M_S yesterday instead of just M_S, could we have won? ...Wait, yeah. We could have, had all remaining townies with votes (a total of 2 for 3 votes. ;_;) voted for Meph on Day 4. That would have resulted in another double lynch of Meph and whichever townie he chose to kill, and all scum would be dead.

Oh well. Good game all.

Yeah, that was an amazing stroke of luck for us.

And, for the record, I wasn't sure we could pull off a win at all. With me being the triple voter and Org being Org...once Free Beer became an obvious lynch target I was really worried that we wouldn't be able to pull it off. Fortunately, we were already planning on busing Free Beer so that didn't hurt as much as it could have.

It was a good game. I had a lot of fun with it and put a lot of time into trying to seem town while helping direct things. I lost count of the number of posts that I wrote and discarded after re-reading them for being a potential scum-tell.  ;D
