This is a rather scummy question....can we kill smashbot yet?
I'll just say that there are some things that need to be kept to oneself, and your giddiness at throwing that out there just annoyed me. It's not very smart to tell the role of someone who could be influential to the town's survival. Not even to speculate either, because that gives them ideas.Egruntz, I think I got it! You are a bomb or maybe paranoid gun owner. If you get lynched, it kills whoever cast the final vote, and if you get nightkilled, whoever tried to get you dies too, right! I'm pretty sure that's it, but I have a feeling it is a town role actually.
As for Egruntz's case, I don't want to start or be involved in another 6-page speculation on his role because it would be pointless.
ok wow what a load of crap. It's obvious that your either independent or mafia, i mean how can you not remember that part of a roll until not, that's just ridiculous. Moreover, you even say this when people are accusing you of being independent. what's worse is that you threaten us by saying i will go against you town folk. Coincidence that you find this about your roll at the same time people accuse you of being independent? I think not
vote:egruntz
Agreed, let's not waste time lynching people who are doing a good job of killing themselves. I can tell you that the way Egruntz went about this wasn't very well thought out, and he probably thinks that he's helping the town more than he really is. In a nutshell:2 role claims that are allegedly helping the town on day 1, people need to stop cracking under pressure, especially when it's as light as it has been. If this holds up, too many people are going to say, "I'm taking one for the team!", and eventually, there won't be team. There's more to it than that, but that is for another time. Hopefully the majority of the players won't nag me for that the way they did Egruntz.yeah... don't vote egruntz because it is probable he isn't lying. He made mention of his town hurting abilities a while back, and it seems to fit a role of a guy who says for Sparta a bunch in that one movie. The guy that dies in end and takes people with him.
Egruntz is just another foolish poster who showed us agian how stupid role claiming is.
I was being FOS'd before my "hole was dug". Besides, if I haven't attempted to grab some attention from the Mafia, they wouldn't have of targeted me. Though no matter, I'm pretty much safe from being lynched. No matter what, I'm helping out the town. At least, trying to.If you didn't dig yourself a hole no one would have FOS'd you. If you'd kept quite, you could have definately taken down a mafia if they night kill you, but now it's probable that they won't target you, so really I think you're less help this way.
No more complaints about people being jerks? Why not just stop being a jerk in all, then?This whole you guys are mean to me thing is kind of annoying. Can we just grow up and play?
No more you're being mean so i'm going to try and screw you over now. Lets play some Mafia.
Quite.This is a rather scummy question.
What I hate about this, is that he's right, but when he says this, he(at least I) expect people to respond to this, which I did, but only to try and convince people that it isn't worth talking about.C'mon guys, you're all saying that's stupid to defend yourself against being lynched? That's nonsense.
I think Pythag was being sarcastic when asking to kill Smashbot, it's just that he has contributed the least. Not that there is good ground for lynching him yet.Smashbot has been a bother with his useless posts, but he really hasn't done anything that shows he's pro-mafia. Saying things like "it's my uncle's birthday" can be annoying, but definitely isn't anything suspicious.
As for Mr.Lombardi, I'm pretty sure that he's actually Jesus. There really doesn't need to be more discussion on him.
The key word here was "Trying".I was being FOS'd before my "hole was dug". Besides, if I haven't attempted to grab some attention from the Mafia, they wouldn't have of targeted me. Though no matter, I'm pretty much safe from being lynched. No matter what, I'm helping out the town. At least, trying to.
you know, even if they are townies, what harm would it do to knock off a few anyways?
Trying, yes. I was trying to make the mafia seem like I was an important townie. By saying "This is Sparta!" I was making it obvious that I was King Leonidas, and tried to make it seem that I was required to say this due to my role.The key word here was "Trying".
You didn't have to start saying the sparta thing at all, but instead you decided to ruin your role by doing pointless mindgames.
"If the mafia targets me, they'll be killed! Better go tell them that!"
Anyone else think this post looks somewhat suspicious? "Hey guys, let's kill off a few townies and get this game going! Oh wait, maybe not because the might be somewhat helpful.."you know, even if they are townies, what harm would it do to knock off a few anyways?
claiming roles and irrelevant posts can be bothersome and could indanger the rest of us.
then again the roles they have could possibly help the pack, so to speak. jeez, some body do something really obviously guilty. day 1 has become irritating.
An admission perhaps???Trying, yes. I was trying to make the mafia seem like I was an important townie. By saying "This is Sparta!" I was making it obvious that I was King Leonidas, and tried to make it seem that I was required to say this due to my role.
After many times of telling the townies I was on their side, and telling them to forget me, they continued to grow more and more suspicious. In a way I was sort of forced to explain my role, unless you guys WANTED to have a few of your people killed off.
Right, let's just think like that until all of the townies are dead.you know, even if they are townies, what harm would it do to knock off a few anyways?
Stop taking it out of context.you know, even if they are townies, what harm would it do to knock off a few anyways?
then again the roles they have could possibly help the pack, so to speak. jeez, some body do something really obviously guilty. day 1 has become irritating.
Um... yeah. Of the posts I have read of yours, which I think are all of them, they all strike me as real scummy and its almost always stuffs like this. so yeah.you know, even if they are townies, what harm would it do to knock off a few anyways?

Im not sure why I quoted that, but Im gonna leave it anyways as it kinda relates to my point, tho it prolly could be taken out [/rant]Trying, yes.

It's not that post that changed things, it's the posts that egruntz himself made before that. Come on, "Oh, and I looked at my role again, also if I get lynched it hurts the town." That is the most laughable post in the game. I am surprised that anyone believes him.at the way everybody in this thread started talking about Egruntz after this post. This is just like <3's case earlier in the game, where he put himself out there and everybody(including myself, I think) responded pretty much the same way:tried too hard to be a detective when all they could find is that he was posting weird, and it eventually got nowhere.
If you're including me in the group who believe him, take me out. I'm still gathering my thoughts on this, looking at it from every single angle, but one of the few conclusions I have made is to leave him be for now. This is because I'm sure that Egruntz has done a good job of possibly being the most targeted member during the night(though Mr. Lombardi is heavy competition). What makes it interesting is that since heseems to be independent, all of the groups are contemplating his murder.It's not that post that changed things, it's the posts that egruntz himself made before that. Come on, "Oh, and I looked at my role again, also if I get lynched it hurts the town." That is the most laughable post in the game. I am surprised that anyone believes him.
In that second sentence, are you referring to my post or Yeroc's? If you're talking about mine, that's not what I meant. I was saying that, for day 1, I personally think that he should be left alone(in the thread), not that I wouldn't vote for him later in the game.He really seems like an independent to me. Saying "he's secured himself for the rest of the game" seems stupid to me. I think he has a role similar to Spam Master's from Trigun mafia. He posts his bluff about taking down mafia with him to explain why he doesn't get nightkilled, then adds on that it also applies to getting lynched so that we don't lynch him. Then, in the end game, the hardest part for an independent to win, he has his lynch bluff set up from the beginning, and whatever townies remain will rather risk lynching someone else than risk having their whole team taken down, or something.
I'm sure you don't, isn't this your first mafia game too? That's not what I'm thinking though, I do realize how dangerous first-time players can be, because they often go unnoticed for much of the game because people don't expect much of them. Hell, I used this to my advantage in both Fire Emblem and Food Court mafia, where I helped town(as much as they hated my methods) win both games by surviving to the very end. So no, not all new players are dumb.I also don't like the justificiation of, "Oh, well sure he's acting really strange, but he's just new and dumb so whatever."
Flip a coin.I'm not calling to lynch him now or anything, but I find his roleclaim to be even more suspect than Lombardi's.
This is not a good plan, because if the real Leonidas died, the town would realize that the role-claimer was lying and would lynch him. While it does get the mafia a kill, it's one-for-one, which can't be a successful formula for the mafia, since the town outnumbers them. Also, why would they even claim Leonidas when there is a chance that they might get killed themselves, why not claim a character mentioned in the first post or a character that is believable?I have realized that egruntz is either an insanely idiotic person, or he is a mafia member with a really REALLY devious plan, which is as follows.
Mafia decides Leonidas probably is a town vig or some other equally good role. Thus they begin to try and determine how to kill him.
We talk about Kira so much and how he is prolly independent (I saw an episode and now agree with this).
Someone says "Hey, why doesnt one of us claim to be Leonidas? That way maybe Kira will kill Leonidas by putting his name down! Oh and lets make it a n00bier and rather obnoxious person as well so that Kira is more inclined to do so"
Either that or Im paranoid. Totally possible
Your joking rightIf <3 asks questions no one will answer right?
See what I mean, an idiot.Just a quick question, but when is Night coming? It's been close to almost 50 pages.
Anyways.... <3 is still speaking 3rd person..
<3.... why exactaly do you bother to speak in 3rd person? Hmmmmmmmmmm?
I don't think that's the way most people are guessing that Kira's role will work--he won't just write down a role that's in the game and that person will die. He will likely have to match the roles to the player. The player's name is the "name" he writes down, and they players role is the "face." But if Egruntz isn't really Leonidas, then he won't be able to kill him because he doesn't know his true role.Im not sure why I quoted that, but Im gonna leave it anyways as it kinda relates to my point, tho it prolly could be taken out [/rant]

wow... no one reads no one! go re read the post, the whole thing...Contrary to the ideas of <3, whos stance on this topic leads me to believe that he does not normally play competitive sports or strategy based games, I believe that the way that the majority of people are playing is simply going to be ineffective in prosecuting and lynching mafia.
If everyone just spurts out their suspicions as soon as they notice something, if that suspicion is a blatant and telling mistake (an exceptional rarity), by the time you have accumulated enough small slip-ups to effect a lynch, your ideas will be played out and stale. If a mafia member has days or even hours to make up an excuse for a previous action before you present more evidence you are effectively back at square one.
In sports the key to winning or any sort of intellectual game, the only way to win as an individual against a unified and organized force is to suprise and trick that force. In everything from chess to rugby to risk, if you give a superior force time to organize and think up a restiance you will fail.
I encourage those without a system to use my method of accusation. Ony my computer in a folder called mafia and within that folder I have four sections: not suspicious, suspicious, mafia, and independent. Amongst those four sections is an indivdual file for each person in this game. As I read anything that I find suspicious I copy down and paste into that persons article, I also record who they have voted for, who they have defended, and who they have attacked without voting or initiated an attack on.
When, and only when I feel I have enough information on that person to place them in the mafia or independent folder to commence attempts totrick them into making a revealing mistake, and although I may feel like I have enough information to justify my own vote and the vote of the town, I wait until I can get a keystone point, that will prevent the mafia from defending my suspuct beofre my arument can get off the ground for fear of themselves failing and after their fellows lynch it being traced back to them.
Also, I encourage people to remember something. Ultra detailed examintation of every post in long qoute string reply's serves only two purposes. The first is too drive away those who might not be as comited to the game as the poster (an unfortunate but neccesary evil). And, to make everyone keenyl aware that their post will be scrutinized, which only hurts the town. The should be able to tell a good mafia, who won't normally make mistakes that will give himself away, by how carefully he posts and how calculated his opinions are, but with the subconcious thought that evrything you write is being watched, this air of censoreship has started showing up in every single post (save the posts of the *******). Gigantic posts are good eeryone once in a while to sumarise maybe a whole day or to present a large scale well thought out argument against one person, so next time you feel like making a gigantic post remember, brevity if the soul of wit.
Only one person in the whole of this thread has ever answered one of <3's questions.Your joking right
Also, I forgot to point out too the two people who used the word irregardless earlier, pythag and omeone I can't remember, that irregardless isn't a word.
My answer: No, it isn't hard to comprehend, and I know where you're coming from. I think that you think that these questions could lead to the conclusion of day 1, at the very least, but you're frustrated because you think that even though the answer is right in front of them, they ignore it. Did I get that right?If the post was limited to only Mediocre the same result would have been yeilded. when <3 was night killed my other suspisions and evidence would be for ever gone along with me. Is that hard to comprehend? Oh wait... we can't answer my questions...
Also, <3 doesn't reveal everything. Just making up for no one revealing anything.
I think that you had plans to respond to...blah blah blah
<3 will respond to other posts later. Life calls.
(For those who are lost, this was in response of me refusing to fill out <3's poll)Wow… wow… what is wrong with everyone? What are you so scared? If <3 has put his self out there this much can’t you at least meet his effort 1/10 of the way and ask a single question. We out number mafia by far <3 would imagine. Because of this the sooner we talk the better.
“That is exactly what the mafia would want you to think.”
No it isn’t! Look at the logic behind the arguments <3 are presenting not the way <3 is presenting them.
Mediocre summed it up perfectly.
NO.
It's fine for some things to be out in the open, even most things. But sometimes, you need to hide something from the other players in order to fool the mafia, because hey, guess what? They're reading this thread too.
There are times for being honest, and then there are times for deception. This holds true no matter which side you're playing on.
Look at the words in bold, while it may not be very important, I want to know if this is really how you think. You never refuted this, yet you're still trying to convince everyone to ask and answer your questions.Don't think just because I haven't been giving out new ideas like you have, that I haven't evaluated everything and come up with my own ideas of what's really going on. You act like the more questions you ask, the more you contribute. While this may be the case sometimes, it also puts pressure on the people you've accused, which will, in turn, cause them to post differently than they would have by being extra careful. I'd rather have them post naturally so I can get a sense of what their motives are.
Not everything is worth posting. If someone says something that made me change my mind about them, I'm not going to post in the thread saying something like, "hey, you're all right". Not only that, but I'd like to post in agreeing with other posters because I think they have a good point, not because I'm sure that someone is going to try to stab me in the heart later on in the game.
Notice the part that is in bold. That might not have been needed, but I wanted to bring it up just in case someone had thought that I did contradict myself.As for your questions, keep asking them. Just don't expect people to jot down their suspicions, especially since doing so can start an all-out war.
It's statements like these that cause me to explain my situation. You guys keep spending time on wondering how I can make sense, and wondering if I'm lying or not; and when I try and explain to you why I'm not a lier, you just get even more pissed off and tell me to STFU.It's not that post that changed things, it's the posts that egruntz himself made before that. Come on, "Oh, and I looked at my role again, also if I get lynched it hurts the town." That is the most laughable post in the game. I am surprised that anyone believes him.
