Mafia XXV: Action Movie Badasses Game Thread Day 6

[[M] Kurt - Cool Dad]

Hello! A lot has gone down today, it seems. So much boot-quaking here. But, to more important things: Where to even begin...

Lots of debate over Arnie: I don't know how I feel overall about it. Definitely bizarre comments here and there, but I'm not 100% on whether this is scummy or inexperience. I'm leaning more to the latter, and am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt this time around. But if he keeps making weird posts about chaos...

Seagal's fixation on Eastwood is also interesting. I am curious as to how he came to such a definite conclusion that he is mafia, along with Statham, one way or another. I have read his explanation, but I still cannot get my head around it. Eastwood could do with some more posting though - how are things, old man?

Willis, Jackson and Statham are okay in my books for now - despite some erratic posting from the first two, I feel that the conversation they are generating will help the town. Not to mention one or two of the things they're saying makes sense. Also good god, that picture of Sam L in the pink wig turning around is hypnotic. I couldn't look away for a moment there.

I don't understand Sigourney's animosity towards Willis (his silly posts haven't been any more awful than anyone else's), Mr Rock should do more than post vote tallies (as Jackson said, it's a nice way of appearing active), and I am not sure how I feel about Daniel Craig (his posts can be a little bit all over the place).

Wish I could contribute more. Maybe I should start accusing people of things. Uma Thurman! Where were you on the night of the kills?!



Don't know how long I will be around, though - I will try to post more and before I depart to go on a grand adventure to save my daughter and kill some wolves, decide on who to vote.

[[M] Joe - Army Dad]

Liam Neeson I like the cut of your jib. Contributing and still being comedic; excellent show! Please do try to be a little more active though, we could use your particular set of skills that you have developed over a long career.

Here is a gif of the time we starred in a movie together.

I don't understand Sigourney's animosity towards Willis

She's just testy because she came into the thread with a plan to paint me as an inactive when I was actually more active than her, and with a purpose no less, and is now trying to regain face at my expense. Don't read too much into it, Liam old chap.

[[M] Kurt - Cool Dad]

I will do my best to share my skills with the rest of the class. Just pray you won't be on the receiving end of them, buds.

##unvote Bruce Willis

I think I've punished myself enough for being captured on camera with Sam. Though I will carry the guilt with me for the rest of my days.

It gets worse.



We are the same person.

[[M] Ron - Cop Dad]

The third-party killing faction is a high priority, because tracing it is impossible. It kills without thought or fear or regret; mafia members, at least, have their comrades to look out for. This is how we make them pay.

Interesting.

You just admitted that you can't be something like an investigative role to a third party killer because this

[QUOTE'[M] Samuel L Jackson;3236914']because tracing it is impossible.[/QUOTE]

Well, there goes my psychologist theory out the door.So how pray tell, do you know that there is a third party?

Good, atleast now you're doing something right.

Yes I feel it is best that I continue to set examples so that people who aren't doing anything right, such as yourself, may begin to follow my lead. I'm a community minded soul, make no mistake.

If by doing nothing you mean something, then heh, yeah you're right.

Little do you know that in my next film I play a man who is very good at sensing the tone of people's forum posts. In my research I have become quite good at it myself, and let me tell you that:

but I'd prefer at least one freaking day before we get cornered into roleclaiming.

directly contradicts the your feelings towards roleclaiming as presented here:

I actually advocate an 'everyone claim' party too. Maybe we should all claim!

No need to thank me for pointing out this glaring flaw in your arguments. I'll do it for you.

You know what they say about contradictions. Well, I actually don't know what they say. I didn't know how to start my sentence off. The only reason people would contradict themselves is because they realize their first opinion was under too much scrutiny, so they have to back off the heat. Statham isn't trying to blend in though, he's being. People who act weird for only two reasons.

1. They have weird rules to their role.

2. They are Mafia and trying to appear like they have weird rules to their role because the past has shown that weird roles are either pro-town or third party.

#Unvote: Steven Seagal
##Vote: Jason Statham

You could arguably say based on that, Sammy J's quirk is also suspicious and you'd be right. I know it's hard to lynch someone who is fun, but keep in mind this is exactly what people acting like this know. It secures them till the very end.

Bruce has still yet to actually do something. I gave you two chances Brucey.

[[M] Elize]

And actually...

##vote Dwayne Johnson

Out of everyone who immediately jumped on board the "let's persecute the unhelpful bunny" train, The Rock is the worst offender for doing pretty much nothing of note other than tallying and taking the easiest route he could to say "look at me I'm town!!". Therefore I don't trust him and if I have to vote for anyone now because I'm not sure I'll be here at days end, it'll be him.

[[M] D'Anna]

Okay can we cut the f**king crap with these image macros, and snazzy comments that don't actually mean much:

Jason Statham I find your refusal to participate in the great role claiming of 2013 to be utterly unacceptable. So unacceptable that I had to invite my personal friend Commander Mark Shepard in to explain it.

And Samuel, perhaps I haven't really said much of great substance because what else is there to say? By the time I return back to the thread after living life on the outside, most of the analytics have already been said. That, and I'm not particularly good at reading between the lines anyway. I'm doing my best you know.

Anyway, plenty of votes cast now. Time for another Dwayne special. And I do like how posting vote tallies is suspicious Sorry for being helpful guys. Geez. Do it yourself next time.

Oh, and while Bruce Willis is bloody annoying, my vote for him was more of a joke than anything else. I haven't got any real strong convictions on people, though I'll stick a vote for Seagal, mainly because of his fixation on Eastwood. I still find that strange.

Bruce,

You're growing on me. You are. But the Weave is right, you've still to contribute anything of real value (which I understand your reasoning as to why this is) so you could just be posting to cover your ass after getting called out. I'll drop my vote off you, but know that if you disappear, it'll be right back on there. That's not a threat. Just don't go disappearing without saying anything. Acting suspiciously as a member of the town means we can't ever get organized, right? Anyway, we're good for now.

##unvote: Willis

XoXo,

Oh come on, anyone with half a brain would have found your shenanigans odd. Besides, I voted for you more as a joke than anything.

[[M] Elize]

I'll start doing things when you start reading the thread, my alien hating sweetheart! I've already explained in perfect detail everything I've done so far and if you're too lazy to read the thread properly then I don't see why anyone should take your opinion on anything seriously anyway.

[[M] Joe - Army Dad]

Sigourney: do you know how a psychiatrist works? Read the roles flash again. I am somewhat certain you tried to lay a trap for me to prove or disprove my role, but I'm smarter than you give me credit for. I'm also still the Vigilante, so don't be confusing me for this psycho killer nonsense.

[[M] Apollo]

Ok, I will admit, that last image of Statham was pretty funny. Images and posting in character is just not my style of play. You seem to be entertaining people and fun is what it's all about. I try to have fun too, with thoughtful discussion and multiple finger pointing. I do see some thoughtfulness buried in there, and I at least appreciate that. But, of course, I still don't think you have a town-aligned role.

All of that is crap. You're basically aiming a gun at a blind man and seeing if he flinches. You vote-hopping does nothing except you look like a maniac which is how we ended up here! I don't see Liam Neeson, Nicolas Cage, or Will Smith here, quaking in their boots like you seem to imply would happen.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So far it hasn't worked, but what's the harm in it? My vote ended up on a more tangible candidate within 5 minutes so what does it matter who I vote/unvote in that time? The pro is that it might get them out of hiding and the con is...what? I get suspected for erratic voting? I don't want to be lynched, but tailoring my voting behaviour to avoid suspicion is not my top priority, even if it might be yours.

[[M] Joe - Army Dad]

Also, I know things because I ate a magical burger.



PS for those of you who are not smart and cannot detect sarcasm, this post was entirely played for laughs and is not meant to be taken literally. I know things about how this game works because of reasons.
