Mafia / Re: Paranormal Mafia - Round 9 - Day 1

« on: August 25, 2009, 02:47:17 pm »

Josh was angry. He seems to be scum more often when he's angry; however, Toony is crazy and was trying (successfully) to provoke Josh. So being so angry may not be the scum-tell that it generally was/is.

Maybe this is all an elaborate game, trying to convince us that it's not possible for both to scum when in fact they both actually are. I really doubt this though. I don't think that Toony and Josh would work together to pull something like this off.

Overall, I think it's rather a bit of an overreaction on both parts. If it turns out that neither is scum, than the real scum must be laughing their asses off right about now.

Wow that was a lot of posts for not so much time. Craziness. I think that's what I like about Paranormal.

Anyways, these are my suspicious, weak as they are. Just remember, this is Day 1 and there isn't much to go on. Then again, someone might slip.

Suspicions:
- ToonyMan is acting strange. This is normal.
- webadict is acting strange. This is a little less normal.
- forsaken1111 jumped on Toony. I'm not sure I blame him though.
- RedWarrior0 for watching Toony a little too closely. Again with the possibilities.
- BloodBeard or webadict for that 3p question. Kind of a tricky question and I've been in that situation a few too many times recently.
- That giant quote pyramid. Very very suspicious.

(Just for reference, don't always believe what the computer has to say about my online-ness. I generally have at least one computer open to the forums so it tends to lie).

Anyways, I'll be back tomorrow sometime.

Mafia / Re: Vote Mafia, Round 2! (Game Over!)

That was interesting. I was hoping... But it's nice to have been right. (Especially after IRC

)

Just for reference, that's three times today (yesterday now?) I've been in a situation with three players (1 scum left) with me basically confirmed and having to choose. Ug.

webadict, you think you'll run another? It does go a touch heavy on the logic at the beginning, but I still like it. It's a nice counterpoint to Paranormal.

I'm fine with the day ending early. Might as well find out if we've won or lost this round. I'm really hoping Frelock is the scum.

Me too... Me too.

So after getting hammered a number of times in IRC Mafia for choosing exactly who I should not have chosen, I'm going to stick with my vote here.

(Which means it's probably wrong (which means it's probably right (which means that I WIFOM myself much better than anyone else WIFOMs me (WIFOM is a verb and a noun!))))

Anyways, not going to change my vote. Sorry Frelock. And I vote for ending the day early.

Mafia / Re: Paranormal Mafia Game - Rules Discussion - Watcher Poll

« on: August 24, 2009, 12:02:48 pm »

Fair enough. I think I'm arguing from the point of having just been the Scientist.

In all likelihood, I'll probably never be the Scientist again (of course now that I said that, I will be this next game again (of course now that I said that... (*insert head exploding here*)))

Anyways, whooo for new round!

My suggestion for Intel is that although it gives all the roles and abilities, it doesn't say which role has which ability either, because apparently it does do that currently..

Although that was really helpful last game, I think it was doubly helpful because I only had 2 roles left to figure out by the end and one had a mind shield. In a game without a watcher, I don't think that the Intel would be quite as broken. (Because the Intel doesn't say who is what race).

Oh good. Allow me to just say that, at this moment, I really wish that I was scum. That would make this decision so much easier. Unfortunately, I'm not. So it's not. I could just guess and have a 50/50 chance of being correct...

Right now, I think that either one of you could be scum. Each time I read through the last page or so of posts, I start leaning one way or the other, but I'm still not quite sure. Overall, I wish that it was still possible to double lynch right now. Then you could just shoot each other and I would feel much better about the whole thing.

OK. So, the logical part of me thinks that Frelock has been acting more suspicious and that Meph has been more helpful to the town. On the other hand, something in my gut has been telling me that there is something off about Meph for the past 2 days (game time). So I'm getting a nice conflict between logic and intuition. Oh joy...

For now, I'm going to vote Frelock. I am willing to change my mind, but only if you can bring sufficient (to me) evidence to the table to convince me to do so. I'm not going to go back and forth like Zai did last time around though. That induced one heck of a migraine and I don't really want to go through that again...

(Zai: No hard feelings if you're reading this, I did choose to play Mafia after all

)

Frelock, a question: why have you never brought up anything about your role? A Vote Seer seems like a good counterpoint to the Vote Reporter, something that may have been used to balance things out. That's one of the things that seems curious to me.

If I'm wrong, then I apologize profusely and congratulate all of the scum (and everyone else) on a game well played. Also, I'll definitely need to start heeding my instincts more often.

What was the original thinking behind giving the aliens different amounts of tech? It's been in place since before I started reading these boards, so I don't know the original ideas.

For now, I'd say take out the Watcher. We can continue this discussion while the next game runs if we need to. (It looks like most people want it taken out from the poll.)

For the Scientist, I don't think that he's overpowered. He has to both survive for at the very least 3 days and he has to successfully find at least one dopp and one other alien. It was relatively easy in the last game with the Watcher and the Intel, but I'd imagine it would be harder without either or both advantages. Then again, maybe I just have a soft spot for my last role...

My opinions in sum:
- Remove the Watcher.
- Don't change the Scientist.

I'm kind of curious as well.

First, I'm actually glad that Leafsnail was not Mafia. That would have been fun to sort through without all of us townies dying in the process.

Why I think each of you is suspicious:
- Meph for pushing the double lynch of what turned out to be 2 townies (although I did agree with it at the time).
- Frelock for jumping on me without explaining why (I don't agree with this one).

So, I'm not really sure which of you is mafia for now. I'm leaning towards Frelock at the time being if he won't / can't post why he's suspicious of me.

I won't vote until I'm sure, because if I vote incorrectly, all the Mafia has to do is vote with me and the game is over.
