are you asking why i didn't give a person advice on how to be a good "bad guy" considering he could he could be mafia himself?

there's a lot of information that was omitted since explaining mafia in a single paragraph isn't sufficient.

bad FoS is bad.

good job not answering a legitimate question.

to get things started, heres a question for everyone:

1.) are you new to mafia?
2.) if no, how long have you been paying (or how many games have you played)

On a serious note, I dunno, did anyone else get that vibe from Omni's post? I didn't, but Bardull's comments are worth considering one way or another. Not saying I did, but between the two of them, they've revealed the most information to profile with.

That is assuming they have a posting restriction.

I am not completely new to Mafia, but the game I was apart of was force closed before its end. I seem to have bad luck in this regard as other such Mafia games I wish to join either just became full or did not end up going along.

I honestly have never paid for Mafia though, Omni.

I'm back, hooray!

Shaya: Well, if they have a role that has posting restrictions already in the start, then it's possible that one of them has. But to be blunt, I don't believe that is the case.

But I have to agree with adumbrodeus on this matter, this interaction between Omni and Bardull should be noted, especially the behaviour of latter.

I have covered various games, and I'm familiar with the general day one doo-dahs.

Your explanation seems...folly. I -just- explained the jist of mafia's objective in less than a paragraph, yet you contest that it can't be done despite me having already done so. You even quoted me.

It doesn't make sense to respond to someone's question, "how do I play," by only explaining to them what town's objective is. It would make sense to explain both objectives.

Your explanation of why you omitted information regarding mafia's objective doesn't hold any weight. It smells scummy.

you're grasping at straws on one of the first actual useful posts of the day.

i contest that i summarized the game but did not full cover the game in its entirety. that's like me jumping in after your explanation and finding your suspicious for not covering other fine/basic points that could help Sky be more acquainted with the game.

i explained what to do if you're a good guy. by process of elimination the role of the bad guy is pretty clear.

so again, nothing smells scummy. you're just not satisfied with my summary omitting to teach him how a mafia player plays. get over it, guy. you're poking inaccurately and tho your argument may have some weight it would be unhealthy to start pointing fingers at people are who posting and being helpful when there are still players who havent posted

OS: Considering SWF has been down for a few days, will Day 1 be extended?
You've got a full week from today and I added a few extra days, so I don't think so; if I do extend it due to absences I'll announce it either today or tomorrow.

Fair enough, just wanted to get clear where we stand.:)

Here's to hoping people will be more active in the days to come.

mew2king still hasn't posted.
I know with crashboards being down so often it's possible that he's just unable to log in and hasn't checked since midday yesterday.
Still without official prods, OS, can you give us an inactivity list?

Today would be the first day after the weekend (travelling for tournaments often takes up a full three days for some) and the first day that smashboards hasn't been telling us to build additional pylons, so I'm not going to be considering anyone "inactive" yet.

Some have IMed me and told me they'd be out for the entire weekend.


To sate curiosity, here are the people that have posted so far since game start:

1. Shaya
2. Omni
3. TheReflexWonder
4. Edrees
5. BarDull
6. Ally
7. Adumbrodeus
8. Marc
9. DarkMusician
10. Mew2King
11. ShadowLink
12. Hilt
13. Scamp
14 .joel
15 Dastrn

This leaves TheReflexWonder, Ally, DarkMusician, and Mew2King to still post something. Both Ally and Mew2King I know travel and would be unable to post even if they wanted to.

Here are my answers:

1) Either yes or no.
2) Let's say the answer is no. I've played between 1 and 300 games.

Hope my answers help you discover how to play me :)

Sorry this is my first forum Mafia game (played the game in real life long time ago) so I am still trying to get back up to speed. The boards going off and on all weekend made me lazy about posting.

Chibo Sempai has been PMed to replace Ally.

We may need another replacement, so if someone wants to sign up as a replacement let me know.

Glad I was able to make it in easily, didn't want to miss the first BBR mafia game. Ally is such a scrub lol. kupo! (ff6 is too cool :p)

Thoughts so far:
I'd like to see the people who haven't posted yet chime in on Omni vs Bardull.
I believe it to be TvT. Both sides have legit points but their aggressiveness doesn't seem warranted and they both have differ views on how to play.
I've played with Omni a lot so I'm confident that what he's done so far isn't scummy unlike what Bardull think.
Bardull, is this your first game? If you have been in others can you tell me what they are and if Omni was in them?

I find it rather interesting that you are now changing your answer.

First, you claimed that "explaining mafia in a single paragraph isn't sufficient." Now you are trying to change that answer, AND my line of approach.

"by process of elimination the role of the bad guy is pretty clear."

I'm not satisfied with a lot of things, and this is one of them. You realized that your initial answer did not hold weight, so now you are trying to sweep your mess under the rug by coming up with a new response.

Although there are players who have yet to post, we must work with what we have. Opting to "slow down" and "not point fingers until everyone posts" is...suspicious as well. We have alimited amount of time before nightfall, and town needs as much information as it can get beforehand.

My vote remains unchanged as of now, but I would like to hear everyone's opinion thus far.

Perhaps you should answer the question Omni posed earlier: "Are you to new to Mafia? If no, then how many games have you played/how long have you been playing?"
No!

Well, alright. I've played a handful of games in the last couple of years--No more than ten times, but certainly more than five.

you're making assumptions at this point. my intentions can move in several directions depending on how it is interpreted; you seem to have a negative interpretation of it since there is room for a negative assumption without any basis (evidence, previous behavior in other games, etc.)

Although there are players who have yet to post, we must work with what we have. Opting to "slow down" and "not point fingers until everyone posts" is...suspicious as well. We have alimited amount of time before nightfall, and town needs as much information as it can get beforehand.

this is what is called tunneling, BarDull. opting to "slow down" and "not point fingers" is attempting to keep you from focusing on the first scumtell you feel you've come across. there's nothing suspicious about telling you to branch out this early in the game.

im glad you're looking into playing the game and everything, but realize that you're focusing on a person who is actually attempting to:

1.) get the game going
2.) force conversation
3.) drag out helpful information

while it was would be 10x easier for me to coast like 80% of the cast and blame the inactivity on <insert random reason here> and it be legit due to Smashboards random downtime

I do think that might be part of the reason people refrain from posting.
The amount of issues I've had with the site has made me rather reluctant to post.

Hell yesterday I could not post, and could not view the last page.

Omni, you've gotta cut this crap. Look at where we are, this is the BBR. 80% of the people here haven't played mafia before, and were in a room where people weren't exactly looking for mafia in the first place. It's going to need some nudges to get going.

You're a broken record when it comes to activity complaining like this in every game that's not up to your standards.

While I think Omni is up to something, it's possible he may be on my side. Same with you Bardull. Omni doesn't know your role. Just because he's acting "suspicious" doesn't mean he's not aligned with you. My vote is to abstain until further information is available.

However, this does make me somewhat suspicious of Bardull. If he's so willing to vote someone out, perhaps he's not aligned with anybody at all.

What gives you the impression that I'm "so willing to vote someone out," Edrees?

i'm not up to anything, Edreeses. i'd appreciate if you answered my question.

the goal is to see how familiar/unfamiliar everyone is with Mafia so i (and everyone else) can have a better feel for each other. altho from your response just now i'm assuming this is your first game.

also guys, there is NO EDITING allowed in your post. make sure you read the rules thoroughly

Omni seems consistent with how I've come to know him in other games, activity *****ing included. With so little to go on we might be better off lynching dead weight (AKA people who don't contribute), because we won't get a read on them any time soon. I prefer to lynch someone I actually suspect, but so far I have no strong opinions. I do find BarDulL's attack on Omni a bit of a stretch.

Why do you feel it was a "bit of a stretch?"

It was really meta and just not that suspicious to me. For pressure it was okay, but I do hope this won't be the main debate for toDay.

This is my first online game of Mafia, but I've played it in real life probably 40-50 times through college. I"ll stop editing. I was fixing typos, but I don't do it again.

According to Omni, he intentionally omitted information in response to a neutral question. He didn't "forget to post it," per se. If you read his posts, he begins flip flopping between his answers...none of which are really satisfactory to begin with. I'm impressed that you don't find this to be suspicious.
