Let's Talk About Mafia!! (Mafia Theory)

[Azrael]

Manders was kind enough to import all our mafia stuff from MTGS-land format everything appropriately, which was a big chore. I went in to clean up and update my article on behavioral analysis from years ago, which I found to not really need too much in the way of tweaking. Over the afternoon I'll be making a few ongoing changes to it, such as expanding the real-life examples section and explaining PBPA techniques. If anyone is interested in that. It's available in the welcome to mafia thread post 8 & 9.

EDIT: Finished.

[Manders]

Awww, kind words from Az, but if I recall correctly, it wasn't all too much of a chore.

Of course, this was ages ago, so it may have been and I forgot.

Regardless, I'm alive, guys. Place looks great! Don't get your hopes up, no WAY can I play, but I am alive.

Hey Az, I noticed something huge missing from your post 8. The quotes don't tell you who's speaking. It's pretty hard to follow without that information.

[Azrael]

Ok, I'll try to clarify that.

Manders, I haven't seen you in forever!! How are you doing??

EDIT: Done.

[Manders]

Azrael!! I'm doing well enough, my good man. Well enough. Bit busy with life and all that. How's about yourself?

just in case noone noticed it yet, I've promoted them to the frontpage

[Manders]

I'm on the first page? Awesome!!

This could be a fun way to get our name out there, guys. The OP posts later that a simple PM will allow any site to participate.

If we do this, I would want kpaca to rep us. His playstyle would be perfect for this type of thing. He doesn't PBPA, so it's not a HUGE time drain for him.

Thoughts?

These days, Kpaca barely manages to last two game days without being replaced for inactivity. Hard to imagine he'll be interested in a format with only 48 hour days.

BTW, I didn't understand the cantrip message. What's going on there?

[Manders]

Fair enough. Stardust is my second choice.

@ Cantrip, I miss that dude and want to talk to him, but I don't want to re-register for Sally, so I asked if you'll pass him my email.

[Stardust]

I saw this on the other site I play on actually, and decided not to play. It just seems too brutal a pace. I could probably keep up if I really tried, but averaging 38 posts per day per player is insane. It would be work, not fun, and I probably wouldn't end up involved enough to be voted to the second round anyway.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, though. I saw on MTGS that Azrael was considering playing, but it looks like Iso will be the one to represent? Maybe Az can step in for us here instead?

I was pretty active in the last game here. I stopped posting right about the time......i was nightkilled. I quit all those mtgs games because the software is complete and utter shit snd the players are average to subpar and unrecognizable to an old fart like me.

[rianalnn]

38 posts per player per day and Iso is involved?

No thanks. You couldnt pay me and I'd rather sell off one of my own feet to pay for a root canal.

[rianalnn]

If iso suddenly isnt in the game someone pm me.

[Stardust]

The organizer claims that there will be approximately 500 posts per day (that's every 24 hours) with Days lasting 48 hours and Nights lasting only 12 (hopefully you don't sleep if you're on the scum team!). 13 players in the game makes 38 posts each. I'm sure most of those posts will be short, but I don't understand how people can have that much time on their hands. I'm on here way more than I should be, but can't make that much noise in one day.

I have no idea if Iso is playing or not. That was the talk on MTGS when I went to check if they were participating.

[rianalnn]

Lmao 1000 posts 48hr days? They might as well just play irc mafia lulz.

[Stardust]

Yeah, sounds awful, right? As much as I would like to play with the best of the best (and probably get stomped by them) this just would not be enjoyable.

[rianalnn]

If they think that's the best of the best the lmao is my response. They play wiffle ball and were Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa.

[Stardust]

That's actually a good point.

[Manders]

I mean, we don't HAVE to participate. I just thought it was a good way to get our site AND our Mafia forum out there.

Advertising, if you will.

[Manders]

And, fyi, r_0's the one that suggested kpaca simply because he doesn't have to PBPA to get his point across.

[Azrael]

Iso's not involved, I'm going in for MTGS instead, so the road's clear if you wanna hit 'em up.

[Manders]

Oshi...texting him now.

[Manders]

That's right. Be jelly. Very jelly.

[Manders]

Kpaca said he'll play as long as Az does and the forum software is compatible with his human centiPad!!!

[RedNihilist]

OT: Manders-chan, the link in your sig is A BIT outdated '-'

[Manders]

Oshi...I'll fix that. Thanks!!!

[Manders]

There are so many damn games on MTGS and, apparently, I don't remember which ones I played in! This little project of mine is going to take forever.

Speaking of, though, what do you guys think about making a thread here for people to post their Mafia histories if they so choose? Each person can have 1 post in it that they can edit to update. Not mandatory, but I've always liked having the information to review (and am upset I lost my blog on Sally that had all of it).

Thoughts? If you guys don't want to, I can figure something else out. But I will have my history posted on this site somewhere.

[Stardust]

I just use PM's, replying to myself whenever I want to update it. Not perfect, but it works.

[Manders]

That's what I'm doing. Just re-created MTGS games.

I'd like it to be public, though, so people can easily research my meta should they choose to.

Plus, I've been in some really good games. Great for reading. I just spent about an hour reading the last day of Indiana Jones Mafia. Man, I was so sure Cyan was scum, and was right, but he just kept on and kept on bulldogging, turning stuff around on me, and I was still new to the game. Rat bastard.

And I completely forgot Azrael was the only one that came to my defense when Return to Amisteria Mafia had ended. Everyone else kept saying how terribly I'd played, but Az pointed out that I fought and survived through a LOT of suspicion (as Scum).

Plus...I was mostly responsible for the lynches of 3 consecutive veteran players (AlphaInsidious, TheFooFish, and Seppel ).

Edit: Wait, no. Looking over it again, I NKd Dagger, desCoures, and Kraj 3 consecutive nights. Awesome bragging rights, haha.

[Stardust]

I have no problem with you creating a thread for that purpose. I might not post mine publically because I'm a sneaky bastard, but if anyone else wants to, sounds like a fine place to put it.

[Manders]

I'm gonna.

[Stardust]

I kinda want to run a Smalltown game. Everyone gets a power role with all roles being public knowledge (hence, "Smalltown", everyone knows each other). Alignment, of course, will be secret. Is this site up for playing a small game these days, or are we just dead?

I feel like there's a good base of players that are always down for a game. I'm down, that sounds pretty fun.

[Stardust]

Show me this "good base"... Good base! Where are you!

That looks like a good little base for something like what you discussed.

We could run games non-stop if they weren't more than 8 players, haha.

[Tordeck]

How could you forget me dear?

[Manders]

Uh.....no comment.

[Stardust]

Hey base, you in?

[Pedrobear]

Always in.
