50 I appreciate your commitment but some clarification on your thoughts in "normal speak" might be worthwhile for now.

yeah dont get me wrong, I just LOVE what he is doing with the character but some quick ooc chat here and there would be a big help.

nope, entirely flavor

if i'm right, they're bazett, the mage who gets murdered by kirei so he can use lancer

it's possible, if they die, i will become scum(which would make my power make more sense)

regardless of their flavour claim, would you find your mason partner to be townie otherwise?

I'm still kinda suss on MT next and I was hoping a Juch flip would give me a better idea what to think of her. But I like those reads he gave now. What do you think of 50 though, Juch?

ok, who else would be good...

I am still suspicious of MT and think dunking her would give a lot of info too, but I am kind of nervous about going for it so early. She participates well and explains her cases and often just sees things very differently from me.

B- sounded townie to me at the start of the day when he was checking in and dropping his reads... but during the day he's seemed to be holding back a lot more, mostly coming in when Tobbs allegedly found a scumslip from Rex. seems like a nice safe way to come in and participate if someone claims they found a gotcha. B- has also been lurking a lot, even though he does have the excuse of being in the other Mafia game I think he shouldve had a bit more to talk about by now.

Chic I'm starting to have doubts about again because even though I still had her mentally filed as a lurker, I checked postcounts a while ago (not sure if it's still accurate, phoneposting rn) and after me in obvious 1st place, and Quid still holding 2nd, Chic was in 3rd. That seems like a very low content/noise ratio for her to place that high.

Bread of course would still be a nice option. He's playing ball a bit more but getting actual reads and content out of him has been like pulling teeth.

Prince I could see as maybe scummy too but I'd rather give him a bit more time first.

b-minus: this is more of a "i don't see enough to chew on" kind of thing, and i dislike the way they only seem to appear when a case is building momentum, rather than starting many themselves

probably doesn't help re: disconnection that i have no real knowledge or connection with of the flavor in a game that is so flavor-heavy

meh, I don't think the flavor actually matters in this game more than any other game, it's just that the people here who know it are all excited about it

... You know what? This whole thing has gotten weirder all day. Even I am confused now.

My best bet is still Bread. I think we should discuss Bread a little more seriously. But there's three hours left on the clock and I'm the only one voting Bread right now. I don't want to be a part of the problem.

##vote Juchero

If he's town, we can probably survive fine without his power (I think Monathin summed that up well). If he's scum we can work through this weird flavor/alibi of his and maybe figure out why he thought pushing that was his best option.

I'd help you on Bread, but yeah.. it might still be worthwhile sticking with Juch. This whole drat day I've just been getting talked down from everyone I think is scummy and his flavor claim is still weird as hell. Maybe I shouldn't be backing off so fast just cause he FINALLY drops a couple reads I kinda agree with. And one of em that I agreed with was fake anyway. :v:

I would drop a vote here for Juch, but that'd be -1. Anyone got anything else to say?

definitely gonna check out fate/stay night, it sounds awesome.

There's a Let's Play of it in the archive if anyone else wants to check it out without actually playing through the game. That thread is playing the original game though, with all the horrible dickworm stuff and awkward sex scenes. The later "Realta Nua" version of the game is the cleaned-up version which also has voice acting.

oh hey, one thing I do think deserves mentioning - Sal, you (and anyone else reading) should try and avoid stuff like "I swear on X that I'm town" in the future. If it's a fair play for you to make as town, then it has to be fair for scum to lie about it too to avoid a town instawin. I think it's better to avoid this kind of "argument" entirely in Mafia cause it doesn't really prove anything to begin with. It just makes things more personally uncomfortable for anyone who actually puts any stock into vows like that meaning anything.

A common rule that's often listed in Mafia OP's is "no toxx or truth or dare or anything similar that goes against the spirit of Mafia." I've always kind of thought "swear" posts are getting into a grey area that almost falls under that rule. But only almost, since scum can just lie about it :cheeky: well, come to think of it, scum could just lie in truth or dare too, but the point is it would spoil the fun some people have by considering truth or dare sacred.

- I promise you that everyone goes through a game where they mess it up for town, and we all empathize. If you keep playing Mafia you'll see other newbies do it and you'll empathize with them too.


also non-newbies doing it

The other big problem with all of this is that basically everyone takes the "don't talk about active games" mantra very seriously, which...unless you're scum and have someone to bitch to built it, it can get REALLY frustrating really quick if you're the lone person in a sea of what you're perceiving as piles of poopoo. Maybe this is something we should consider laxing a bit for people not in the game so people can walk away from thread AND ALSO complain to someone; mechanically, we keep active games a no-discussion point for replacements / weird mechanics like active players talking to dead players, but it might be worth trying.

I maintain though, holy poo poo was it great to watch.

It really was, this was a very close nailbiter of a game and all the drama and intrigue (and even roleplaying!) was just great.
