"*The Fonz - Exploded, Day 4"
Damn Pop Rocks and Pepsi. :(
Are you a bird? I heard birds can't burp/fart and if you somehow managed to feed them Alka-Seltzer (or drink carbonated beverages) they would eventually explode from the built up gas. Of course, this is based on grade school playground rumors, so I don't know how reliable it is...
I am going to investigate Flying Mullet's craaazy claim.
Also, I'm really sorry for not being around this weekend. My best friends were visiting me and I don't get to see them often.
I am finished investigating FM's claim. Birds can too so fart. I guess you just can't trust FM about everything he hears.
Exploding bird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (even if foa beat me to it :()
I rule you, BoB.
6 hours left. :cool:
Is anyone even playing anymore? :confused:
Okay, let's take a time-out then. A couple days. I'll send you all PM Reminders before we start up again.
Should give you all some time figuring out who to vote for too.
Haha, I died before the game did!
Knew this would happen.
Should of done this during the summer, Levy.
You guys just shouldn't have killed me and Tony off so early. :mad2:
But Tony is such a Mafia-esque name!
I think we're doing quite nicely n.n
I mean, if we start with less people it'll just get like this quicker...
Yeah, most likely. The only real way around keeping activity up would be to give the 'dead' a purpose, I guess. But I think the thread has stayed active enough... it's just the people doing their end of things outside of the thread that seems to be slowing down, apparently.
Unfortunately the mafia was not a democracy and I don't think I voted Miriel
Sorry for bein MIA this weekend. :( But, I look forward to Wednesday! :p
I can't believe I got killed off whilst I was busy during fresher's events.
You lot suck :p
We suck? If you had TOLD me you were a cop earlier I wouldn't have fought everyone so hard on DK. Jerk.
Just because he couldn't trust everyone with his identity doesn't mean he was a jerk.
Haha, well would revealing myself really have done the slightest bit of good in the long run?
It's a pity the game has kinda...dribbled to a halt since I've been away. I'm interested to see how it ends.
OOH WE SHOULD ALL DO SPOOKY DEAD PEOPLE STUFF!
Sent this in a PM to all 8 contestants:
And I'm posting it here to ask for replacements. It's not certain we'll ever need them, but if you want to be a replacement, you'll have to be available later today. I'll also need the current replacements to confirm their spot if they still want to be replacements. I'll send them a PM about it.Quote:
We'll start up again on Wednesday 17PM GMT. (in 7 and a half hour) I'll send you all a PM when that time comes. But here's some new stuff I've thought out to make this game a little more active:
-Day 8 will last 36 hours, someone will be lynched at the end of those 36 hours.
-If you haven't voted within 24 of those hours, you will be replaced by someone who will vote within the remaining 12 hours.
-Everything will continue as before after Day 8, with 24 hour days and voting not obligatory to stay in the game.
But hopefully we won't have to replace anyone and we can just continue as before. That would be the least confusing for everyone anyway.
Now let's get some action on Wednesday :D
So yeah, no matter what happens, we'll have all 8 lynching votes at the end of Day 8.
You know I'd be interested. :D
This really sucks. Since people haven't been moving around and doing things, it makes it hard to see who is behaving suspiciously.
Day 8
Again! :D
Everyone will have to vote before tomorrow before 17 PM GMT, also known as in 24 hours and 13 minutes as of this post.
The ones who haven't voted then will be replaced and the replacements will have 12 hours to vote. So they've got until 11AM GMT to vote, which is when someone will be lynched.
Let's get the ball rollin'!
Hm... I'm still at a loss of who to vote. xD WHO?!

I still really don't understand why I'm so suspicious. I argued for Dan because I sincerely believed he was a cop and he was on our side. I was tricked. Definitely not my proudest moment.
Other than that, look at my posts in the thread. At most deaths, besides Del Murder's, I've been obviously upset. Granted, that could be fake.
Finally, I wasn't here all of this past weekend and all of the weekend before that for the most part. If you don't believe me then, you can check my voting record. How could I kill people if I wasn't around to kill people? A mafia would have to be keeping up with this thread and the town lynchings to even know who to kill. So the mafia is, clearly, someone who has been here, without any lapse in activity.
Ergo, I cannot be mafia. Flying Mullet can also not be mafia.
If you want my real opinion, I think I'm being framed. Maxx Power said earlier in the thread that he feels the killings are coming at random now. I don't think so. I see a pattern. Shiny and Radje just died. They both fought me hard (and fought me true) on DK's lynching. I ate crow on that one, and it hurt because I really did trust Dan. I haven't even spoken to him since then; you can ask him yourself. Before Shiny died, TSoL was run over in a BMW. First of all, that just isn't me at all. I would never, ever, EVER drive a BMW. It isn't my style. I like classic muscle cars, and I really abhor most vehicles new and foreign. TSoL had voted for me to lynch in an earlier round, and then conveniently bit the dust. Before him was Resha, someone who had no connection to be whatsoever at least as far as I can tell. So, at THAT point, somewhere between Resha and TSoL, I got picked to be the fall girl.
So the question is: Why me? And the answer is because I already had all the connections. Most of my deliberation and conversation among the other citizens has been in this thread. I took very little to PM. ANYONE CAN SEE EVERYONE IN-GAME THAT I AM CONNECTED TO. And someone is exploiting these connections to frame me. It's pretty clever, but if you really sit down and think about it, am I really dumb enough to be so obvious? Why would I go off killing the obvious people?
So, I'm being framed. But by whom? I'll tell you who I think it is.
I think it's Maxx Power. My theory is he, KH-Cloudy/Jessweee, Dan and Manus were all mafia to start. There may be more, but I think we'll see them come out of the woodwork after I post this. I think they PLANNED to tip off the cop(s) to investigate the four of them. I think the cops then formed their little PM circle INCLUDING Maxx Power (because as the Godfather, he appears innocent) and decided to lynch them. I was left out because I looked pretty suspicious after Del Murder's lynching and revelation. Since I was already out of the circle, I became a prime target for framing. No one trusts me, and I keep doing stupid things like defending Dan. And, as I've said before, all of the people who have died since Resha have been connected very strongly to me. BUT let's take a look at some of their posts before they died.

I don't want to lose to the mafia. Hell, for all we know the townies and the mafia are about even right now. One more death of a townie could tip the balance their way.
My vote is for Maxx Power, for the reasons stated above.
Hmm, you put together a very convincing case foa. I can see your reasoning, so I'm gong to change my vote to align with yours.
I vote for Maxx Power.
Now, on that note:
If Maxx is lynched and he isn't mafia, I will vote for you next foa. Also, if Maxx is innocent and I happen to die overnight, people will know why.
That is a very good argument there. *more ponderings*
I vote for foa. I know I'm not Mafia, and she's gone to GREAT lengths to target me. If I get lynched then all the other citizens will hopefully be as suspicious. All that constant bolding of lettering; the fact people mentioned my name is being exploited quite severely.
I still don't have much of an idea of anyone's identity right now, but I'm going to vote for foa I guess.
I flipped a coin this morning. I honestly don't know who to vote for and it's a bad way of doing things, I know. It was between foa and Lekana (because of the three still living people mentioned by Radje). Coin said foa D= *vote*
I forgot to mention that if everyone should vote within 24 hours, someone will be lynched then and not after 36 hours. Well, now you know! No use in waiting just for the sake of waiting.
Now I'm really torn between Maxx and foa. Another reason I was suspecting foa is the conspiracy side of me wondered if Lev postponed the game because my only vote for foa would have lynched a mafioso and he didn't want a mafia member lynched by only one vote.
With the foa-Maxx thing... I'm more inclined to believe foa... So... I guess I vote Maxx.
You guys are the conspirators, not me. :p My only intention behind stopping the game was because the activity was freakishly low, and I realized I had to stop it before 24 hours were up if I was gonna stop it, so I did it then. Anyway, I suggest you base your vote on something else.
Gee, days that last over 24 hours...
Hurry up! I want to see some death damnit. >:)
Well if your upper lip wasn't so hairy these days wouldn't last this long!
Oh also, another Captain Maxx Power duel! This time, he duels it out with foa. Who will make it out victorious and who will be lynched? The clock ticks. :hyper:
HAHAHAHA I love being in the know :mwahaha:
Er you know i don't think i'll go for foa. I think i'm gonna go for faris. I just have a feeling. Can't explain it. plus i'm too lazy to write out a big long thing. And laziness will prolly be the death of me.
I spent all morning going over all of this, y'all. It's the only thing that makes sense to me at all.
Faris wants me and foa, and is prepared for that action it comes with.
:love:
Only if Faris wears that sumo suit.
xD
I say! Why don't we three go to a bar or something and, you know, drink?
Ashley-Megan-Kaycee threesome? Jesus mothersmurfing christ that would be one of the most awesome things ever seen.
Anyway, carry on.
I'm down.
pix or it only happened in our minds
* Captain Maxx Power - foa
* Faris - foa
* fire_of_avalon - Maxx
* Flying Mullet - Maxx
* I Took the Red Pill - foa
* Lekana - Faris
* Sergeant Hartman - Faris
* Shauna - Maxx
Everyone has voted, so this day will last 24 hours, and there will be no replacements.
However, there is a tie. If there's still a tie when the 24 hours are up, we will move on to a sudden death round. Let's pretend 24 hours are up and use our current voting as an example: foa and Maxx are tied. Everyone who voted for foa and Maxx can't change their votes, meaning the only ones who can change their votes are the ones who voted for Faris. The first vote that is cast, is the deciding vote. If, say, Lekana changes her vote to foa/Maxx, then foa/Maxx is dead.
But there's still quite a few hours left to change votes, so maybe we won't have a tie at all!
What if me and Lekana vote differently?
Whichever vote comes in first, is the deciding vote, from what I've gathered.
*waits for Lekana*
Can't decide on your own? :p
EDIT: Odd to wait for someone who, according to the cop, is still a suspect to be a mafia!
Loony BoB gathered correct, but that's only the case in sudden death rounds. We're not in a sudden death round now (24 hours haven't passed yet).
Oh I see!
EDIT: 24 hours is a long time for sudden death and seems likely to slow the game down again. :( You should move to sudden death immediately!
Only 5 hours left of the day, BoBBo. And it's not certain a sudden death round will be necessary, 'cause the people who voted for foa and maxx can also still change their votes.
Ohh, I misread what you said as that you'll be extending the time by 24 hours.
Sudden Death Round
The first of Lekana and Sergeant Hartman to vote decides who is lynched. Will it be Maxx or foa? Let's find out!¡
:hyper: What's going to happen?
*dives out the window*
Urp, why do I end up being the centre of attention everytime?
Ya'll better convince us why you ain't mafia :hat:
OH my feeling the pressure!
*turns over in his grave
We've (me and Sergeant Hartman) decicded foa. Sorry babe, You weren't a good enough partier.
:monster:
Now that the voting is over and done with, let's have a zombie rave party for us dead 'uns until 'mean' Gene Levian comes back to tell us what foa was.
I'll let foa herself tell you what she was.
This is highly irregular!
That's what they said at your birth
Probably, 'cause the first thing I did upon being born was to take a well-aimed piss at the doctor.
Fail!
Poor übelQuote:

yar!
I ran your worlds for a brief while. Isn't it terrible you were sent all a twitter, killing your comrades over little old me? I think Dan probably said it best when I started putting these plans into motion. Something to the tune of "Seriously. I am glad I'm on your side."
There's evil dwelling inside all person's hearts. It's only a matter of time before someone else decides that killing is the way to go and they have all of you confused and just as murderous as they themselves. We mafia may have lost the game, but I would think that the fear and suspicion we placed in all of your hearts is victory enough for us. You're killing me, but I've already dominated each of you in some way.
I'm ready to meet my maker. :)
Hook, line, and sinker.
Why are the Mafia all so fanatic? :p
See told you I wasn't a baddie.
So who was the mafia boss?
We win.
Oh, okay.
what do we win? Theres got to be something.
foa was.
I think the mafia played a perfect game until Dan was suspected. Manus's vote change and then the murder of Resha sealed his death ('cause Resha did the same thing that Manus did), KH-Cloudy got himself lynched by charging to Dan's aid having read his PM and not the thread, and foa was on borrowed time ever since her crazed defence of the man.
IT WAS ME!
:mwahaha:
(SPOILER)Not really ; ;
I still think Lev paused the game because having foa lynched by the only vote would have been anti-climatic.
Yes, foolish me. Reading PMs instead of threads. But I'll do better next time, if there is one :P
OOOOH NEXT ROUND NEXT ROUND!!!!
Why did I have to go on that trip? That seems to be when everything fell apart x.x
I want a title.... mafia master
I think Levia is all tuckered out from this round of Mafia. Next one might not immediately follow this one.
hay sup guyz I was the other cop :monster:
We need a lovely little story to conclude now :p
Going to be in about three weeks, maybe? or Shorter for you Mafia-Killers...
This is glorious news.
Yay! We win! Are all the survivors up for a drink down at the local pub? B)
Yeah, Lev definitely needs to come wrap up my public execution.
But man. All I wanted was for Maxx to get lynched. One last hurrah from me. I came close, though.
EDIT: Also, someone needs to make me a sexy Mafia Mama sig/av combo. Cause I'm hot.
If he did get lynched, you'd be gone the next time round. xD But, I guess two less citizens is a win! :P
Levian runs this game. We do what he says when he says.
Alright now can you all PLEASE give me some credit for pretty much almost winning the game single-handedly...sort of. :D I was so indignant that I got constantly accused all the time, and was one of the few players to instigate lynchings against the first bout of the Mafiosa. Now perhaps you all see that I truly had all your best interests in mind.
Close, but no cigar pet. What can I say; don't mess with the Cap'n :cool:
For those who care here are my top rules for playing Mafia, gained from years of experience.
1 - Try to keep as quiet as possible. Whatever you do don't over analyse; if you're a citizen or Mafia it's a surefire way to get noticed, hence why I immediately homed in on foa due to her lengthy exposition.
2 - Respond directly to accusations against you, but be as neutral as possible. If the person accusing you hasn't been voted for or you haven't voted for them resist the temptation to point out why they are Mafia. Players will see this as an attempt by you to divert attention from yourself.
3 - Always have a reason for selecting a person, even if it's something benign like "they're not saying much". Having any reason to lynch someone is better than having none; it reduces suspicion against you and makes it more likely you'll score a decent hit
4 - Observe as much as possible. With something such as this it was even easier than normal Mafia playing since I could go back over everything that had been said. Be on the look out for patterns of voting between different people, behaviour that seems designed to be overly innocent (remember the silence rule if you want to avoid this being placed on you) or over analytical people
5 - If you play well enough eventually you'll be made a target. You have little choice over whether or not you're killed during the night. If you do get targetted and the votes are going against you, remind the remaining players that your death will prove you're a citizen, and that anyone who voted for you is most likely a Mafia
6 - Be semi-serious and try not to goof about too much. A common Mafia tactic is to appear friendly and playful, thusly reducing suspicion on them. Long-term players usually pick up on this, but the same scenario can work against you if you try to be friendly. Be distant, but be involved.
7 - Trust absolutely no one. Assume EVERYONE is Mafia until proven otherwise. No pacts, promises, whispered secrets, cabals, passed notes or anything that seems to be working in your favour should be taken as such. Just because a favour is passed your way doesn't mean you have to pay it back. True citizens won't be non-plussed by not being "saved" by a player they helped since the role of citizens is to root out the Mafia, not save each other's hides, especially since it's impossible for citizens to know who each other are. The Mafia, naturally, do not have this disability, hence why protection pacts tend to pop up amongst them more often (note my point about observing).
There's also a whole bunch of poker-face-esque tricks that don't really apply here since we're not talking and we can't see each other talking.
Yeah me and the Sergeant had a msn convo clearing you maxx. we thought long and hard.. okay it was more like, foa is suspicious. yeah but maxx is a little too, well he's a captain, yeah lets go for foa. OKAY!

Also an applaud to our evil masters, the mafia: Jessweeee, foa, Old Manus, DK and KH-Cloudy! Here's the mafia discussion forum if anyone should be interested: Mafiaz It started up on Day 3, so it's not complete.
Been a nice round all, and I hope to see you for the next round of Mafia. Which is pretty much already planned out. ;)
Now I want yer all opinions of this game, so if you would plz fill out these questions, so the next round can be even better:
- 1. What could've been done better? Is 24 hours for Days ok? How long should nights last? How many players? Voting? etc?
- 2. What worked well?
- 3. When should the next round of Mafia start up?
- 4. Anything else?
I'm thinking at least 2 weeks, maybe a month, for the third question. It's a fun game, but wouldn't want the players to get tired of it.
First of all *claps* This was awesome to watch as an almost-full-time spectator.
I think I've already given all the thoughts I've had throughout the thread. As for how soon... at least a month, I'd say. Treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen.
Yeah, I was a bit confused after reading that, too. xD
First of all that was an explanation about the game. Since the game is over I'm not going to follow my own rules right now am I guys? Use a bit of sense would ya? :rolleyes2 Secondly I said to keep as quiet as possible. Not saying a word is out of the question, but don't go overboard like foa did, which in this case was probably the thing that got her killed off. Generally speaking I tried to keep my chatter down to lynch voting /w explanation, rebuttals against accusations directed at me and general silly comments during the Night phase :cool:
Also I'm having a blast reading through the Mafia forum. You REALLY had it out for me and Radje! :O For the record is there a reason why I wasn't targeted for a night-time killing? What was the logic behind the killings?
oh foozers :cry: so cold, so cruel.Quote:

It was really hard for Keith and I to sway your votes! A lot of fun trying to convince you we were cops one at a time covertly though I must say. How many people did we get on team by the end?
This was great. But, next time this comes up, I'll probably not play. Let others have a game. xD
Yes, well done everyone. =D
Maxx says I was too talky, but I had to be talky. Dan was highly involved in many of my early decisions. Jessweee and Manus not so much, because they kept running away. I had to do everything I could to save him. I ran y'all on for a while practically by myself, though. xD I feel sorry that KH Cloudy didn't get a whole lot of input before you lynched him. Mean old townies.
It was so hugely fun, Lev :) Thank you so much. I seriously got so into it at times 'twas crazy.
Hey, when the mafia dies all the towns people win. Even the dead ones. :mad2:
( Raise ) ( Please )
This was indeed entertaining. :up:
Yeah, this was fun. I look forward to the next one. :)
* 1. What could've been done better? Is 24 hours for Days ok? How long should nights last? How many players? Voting? etc?
I think it all went fine.
* 3. When should the next round of Mafia start up? Give it a few weeks. No sense in over killing this fun game.
* 4. Anything else? I would like to play next time. This looked fun.
Rofl. Miriel told me after I died. Then I told Radje, Resha, and Magus when they were dead. :monster:Quote:

3. Um, I dunno. Hopefully a week when I'm available. So basically...middle of October.
4. You smell like molding cheese.
It was loads of fun, and Radje was awesome to work with :monster:
So who was good cop and who was bad cop?
Haha thanks Keith, you were just as good. Looks like we did our job right!
I'm too strikingly feminine to be an effective bad cop.
Is it true that Levian asked BoB to be a stand-in doctor on the first night 'cause Ubel didn't show, and he chose to protect Jesweeeeeeeeeeee?
'cause if so, BoB, you are a prize ponce :laugh:
Gawd, Miriel is such a blabbermouth.
Yeah, it's true. :D
I've been watching since pretty much the beginning =X Wow, foa, you really had me convinced! Though, I've not played many mafia games, so =P
I'd like to join in next time, but I don't think I'd be able to post much due to restrictions on Internet. Le sigh~
Thanks, BoB n.n
ANYWAYS~
1. What could've been done better? Is 24 hours for Days ok? How long should nights last? How many players? Voting? etc?
I think anywhere from 18-24 is good...or if everyone does their duty before then we could move on sooner, same for nights :P
I think it was just fine the way we did it, BUT MORE ROLES!!!!
2. What worked well?
Everything was perfect!
...'cept for me going hiking, that was not at all perfect >:[
3. When should the next round of Mafia start up?
ASAP
4. Anything else?
More roles! Paranoid gun-holder-dude and Bomb look interesting n.n
The length of the days is not a problem.
If the cops are allowed to contact people privately then I think it gives too much power to the citizen team. But the role of godfather does give a lot of power to the mafia team. Maybe it's balanced the way it is.
I think there was a loooot of information that was left out of this thread that should have been in this thread. For example:
Ok. That kind of discussion, on who should be lynched, who shouldn't be, all that sort of stuff should happen in this thread. Or at the very least, post the discussion on how you reached that decision outside the thread, in the thread. I mean, c'mon now.Quote:
We've (me and Sergeant Hartman) decicded foa. Sorry babe, You weren't a good enough partier.
If you're gonna have little groups of citizens form alliances, tell each other information that the rest of the citizens don't know about, make decisions about who to lynch and why, all of this happening outside the game, then you're not playing Mafia anymore. That's more like... Murder Mystery smashed in with Survivor.
Mafia is a game designed for people to analyze what's being said by every person playing the game. Why is someone saying that? What are their reasons? Who defended who the last time around? Why did this person vote the same as this other person? It's a psychological game. Can't really do that when a lot of the discussions are happening where citizens don't have access to them.
I'm not saying that it's bad. It worked out great for this game, and everyone had fun and the whole game was a success and Mafia (especially that scumbag foa) were defeated. But you're not technically playing Mafia.
I imagine that the mafia team has a lot of power because, you know, they can guarantee to kill off a citizen every night and also influence the killing during the day. I'd say that balances out the "background discussions" - and DK made a great example of how the mafia can exploit such things anyway.
I just don't get the big problem on that end of things, really, but then again there were a lot less mafia than I thought there would have been, too.
The "background discussion" aren't a problem and it has nothing to do with balancing out power. It's all about what kind of game you're playing. Exclusionary discussions happening outside the game, little mini alliances that vote together, etc = survivor type game. Discussions laid out for everyone to mull over and analyze = Mafia. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just not what Mafia is all about. But hey, everyone can play the game whichever way they want to. But that's kind of like playin Monopoly without getting 200 monopoly money after passing Go. It's just not the same kind of game anymore. :greenie:
Ah, okay. I dunno then! I guess I thought this was like Survivor but with the difference of, well, having cops, doctors, godfathers, jesters and mafia. Still more Mafia than Survivor, but obviously different to what you're used to so I'm okay with whatever gets decided.
Maybe next time we should try the style with all discussion happening in the thread instead of discussion both inside and outside, that way we've tried both styles and will be able to pick a favorite for a third and future mafia games.
Yup, there's gonna be more roles next time. We'll link to the site with all the role descriptions and say that any role in there might be in use in our game, but exactly which roles we're using will be a secret. Mafia(s), cop(s), doctor(s) and godfather(s) are givens, though.Quote:
