That's the longest intro post I've seen in a while. I need to read up on what this game is actually about. Hung over right now, though. Summer vacation is hard on teachers too!
Vote dakky for brilliantly killing me off in the Lion King game (at first I thought it was Mandy and wanted to kill myself)
Vote Ragian for dropping enough scumtells in that first day to get killed off in the first place. Ya left Pika and I with all the hard work to do!

No not here anyway. He never said they were forced.
Whoosh
Thorthoth wrote:Well thanks. strike, that was an informative post. More about Mafia in general, than this game in particular.
As for me, everything I know is what I've read as far as introductory material on the Mafia forum. Players get eliminated two ways. By being killed (lynched) by votes during the day phase and then others get eliminated by being killed (assassinated) by other players at night. This is basically correct, am I right?
I'm still uncertain how one determines who to vote for, though I do get the concept of a 'bandwagon'. If nobody has to play their role or give any true clues and anyone can always give false clues then it almost seems like guessing will rule the day (no pun intended).

While you're clearly the better scum player, I still think that is a hard call. Unfair even.
strike wolf wrote:*Notes assassin killing slip*
Role play depends on how much you're comfortable with role playing or if you have a post Restriction. Generally powerful characters don't role play as it can give scum a hint on who to target, weak roles don't role play because they want to draw fire to protect power roles and scum don't role claim their own characters because they don't want to be lynched.
The reason to role play usually is to leave a small hint for later in the game. B. Shots and giggles (which is a perfectly valid reason since ultimately we are trying to have fun) or c. They're post Restriction encourages it. Though occasionally someone will try to role play to fake people out. Say I was Commander Shepard and I didn't want people to target me so I acted like I was vanilla. Or I was vanilla and I acted like I was more important. It's dangerous as you could get called out but it's a valid stratagem.
Usually the joke stage ends usually because a. Someone is inactive and we start seeing people press or defend the inactive. B. A bandwagon starts to form out of the jokes and we start debating if any of the votes can be taken as scummy. C. Someone thinks they spot something scummy (for instance, let's say Skoffin reads this post and feels that I'm truing too hard to be helpful and decides I'm buddying up to you) or D. The joke vote lasts long enough that someone decides it's time to start talking more seriously like we are starting to do now.

DDS announces he wants a No Lynch on Day 1 and immediately causes a massive schism among everyone (see Lion King for the latest example).
