Twin Christmas Parties 3+4 Mafia {The Matryoshka Scandal.} ~ Over! Who had the merriest Christmas? Who got lumps of coal?

[Chuckie]

omg WAIT! i'm at work and want to get involved in this!

it looks FUN!

wii're on our 4th layer!

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

Is there any relation to what you have received and what Raziek has stated?

 

[Chuckie]

oh, well, too late... I wanted to state the name of the anime to see if each layer of a clue came from the same thing.

 

[Raziek]

When you say on your 4th, I assume you mean 4 left, not that you got through 4?

 

[Chuckie]

no it's not the same.

this reminds of discworld mafia

soup it's kat btw so just call me kat.

now i don't want to state the name of the character but the anime for our 2nd clue is different.

 

[Chuckie]

no we got through 3. wii're on our 4th layer, as in wii have 2 layers left to guess (4th and 5th)

 

[Raziek]

How did you get through Layer 3?

Were 1 and 2 the same as mine and Soup's?

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

I looked up something on Buso Renkin. It's made by the same person who did Rurouni Kenshin. Is that your anime name?

 

[Chuckie]

What mechanic are you talking about? I'm assuming you're talking about finding out your true role, but your first two sentences make me think that you are concerned with it.

Anyways, I know I am.

Tako you're idea isn't that bad. There's a couple problems though. One, there's no way we can guarantee that there is a straight up cop. In Harry Potter mafia (Nabe's last "Halloween" game), the cop was like, Snake, the potion master, or something like that. If we were to do that, I'll suggest that we start off more vague-ish (like guess that we're a type of investigate) and work our way towards something more specific.

Also, there's the obvious problem that it wastes a guess.

All this said, I'll honestly not prefer to waste a guess on this.

Vote: J

Curiously, why would you need to publicly state you're concerned? The urgency in your concern here looks a little out of place particularly as the game is so young...

what do you think of this player list?

 

[#HBC | Dancer]

Right then. Since Le Bateluer (tako?) doesn't want people to give out hints received, the same question that I asked Soup goes out to him.

There literally is no way of knowing rather or not outing "hints," or even the true theme of the game, will benefit town or mafia more. HOWEVER, I would prefer to not *****foot around it, so I will give out the information I have.

Night 0 I choose to "shake the present." I was told that I couldn't really hear anything move around in it, which meant (and this is what the mod told me, not my own speculation) that the final object must of been secured pretty well within the final layer, and that since the presents were likely layered, each object in between was likely thin.

Day 1 I thought that I found the common thread of all the available evidence and was confident enough to guess the true theme of the game. I guessed that we were playing in "Pokemon mafia," but no dice.

Yes, this means that I still don't know my alignment, and I won't until toNight.

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

Would people be okay with outing the way the presents are handled? Kat claims to already be on his 4th or 5th layer. Raziek is on his second. I'm only on my first. Sword is still an amnesiac.

 

[Chuckie]

oh, hi swords

yes layer 1 was the exactly same in terms of word choices. We got Yew r good, yew r not me... paraphrased.

layer 2 was a character from an anime but it was a different anime.

layer 3... i can't think too fast and in depth as i'm work so this is all autonomous of me to say but it was small and thin.

soup/raziek tell me a little bit about this player list? what are you expecting from each player?

 

[ranmaru]

I think we have to keep in mind our individual present opening strategies. I made a guess and failed haha.

 

[Chuckie]

wii need some music for this moment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i9u_hucAUs

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

I don't have any expectations based on people who haven't posted but I believe I've made myself clear with what I dislike or don't dislike. Do you have a different way of approaching the game because of the player list?

 

[#HBC | Dancer]

Curiously, why would you need to publicly state you're concerned? The urgency in your concern here looks a little out of place particularly as the game is so young...

what do you think of this player list?

I don't know what you're talking about. 0_0 I wasn't really concerned with anything in the post besides from explaining my thoughts on Tako's idea.

Unless you're talking about what I asked of Soup. In his case, I just wanted clarification.

[Raziek]

Small and thin? I'm not sure I follow.

 

[ranmaru]

Chuckie, how does asking Swords about what he expects from each player help you?

 

[ranmaru]

(And anyone else for that matter)

 

[Chuckie]

Raziek it was a card. I can go more in depth on this tonight as there is a big big clue in the OP

Swords i do believe you that you don't know ur alignment. this would explain why you looked concerned/anxious as a response to soup.

Soup can be DJ

Ranny scotts i'll get to yew in a second after lunch

 

[Chuckie]

clue being the man that was hanged and his present opening strategy of burning.

 

[#HBC | Dancer]

Soup I didn't really give your song a chance because it's not "Who dun it?" music.

I know this is a cliche choice but . . .

Chuckie, could you expend on what you want specifically from your second question? Like, do you want me to go over the entire playerlist and give my opinion on each as a player, or just a general idea of how much "skill" is in this game.

Also Ran's question to.

I'm glad that you believe me Chuckie, but I honestly wasn't really anxious there.

 

[Raziek]

Sword, question: You said you shook the present, right?

Was that your "Present Opening Strategy"?

I have one as well, but it's not that.

 

[ranmaru]

About the strategy. Does everyone have a 'ability' within the strategy to use? Yes or no.

 

[Raziek]

I just read rule 8 on that in the OP.

We all have one, they're all different. Not all of them are 'activated' strategies.

Mine is. Haven't used it yet.

 

[ranmaru]

Ok Rule 8 answers my question. Thanks.

I'm..... not following it completely.

My first thoughts including Roy Mustang and trying to come up with other anime characters that like fire.

Then I started thinking about the Burning of the Wicker Man.

Can you elaborate more now? When you say tonight, do you mean after this Night Phase, or temporally in a few hours?

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

Chuckie, could you answer me regarding the anime title?

 

[#HBC | Dancer]

Sword, question: You said you shook the present, right?

Was that your "Present Opening Strategy"?

I have one as well, but it's not that.

Hmmm, I don't want to potentially give too much away about my character after the true theme is revealed, so I'll paraphrase my present opening strategy.

My opening strategy is to just be free form. I.e., I do whatever I think will be a good idea. At first I tried to just tear the wrapping paper directly off of the present, but Nabe denied me this. So instead, I decided to "shake the present," which is what got me my result.

 

[#HBC | Dancer]

My first thoughts including Roy Mustang and trying to come up with other anime characters that like fire.

Also keep in mind that the guy has a white coat and glasses, which made me think of a scientist with a fire type pokemon from pokemon.

 

[sneakytako]

BTW I know what the theme is.

 

[Raziek]

BTW I know what the theme is.

Post it.

There is no Pro-Town reason to withhold it.

 

[Raziek]

????

Where is this mentioned? I see nothing in the sample PM or opening flavor to indicate that.

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

In that light, you can see the hanged man, above everyone as if he were looking down on you all. His glasses and white coat shine in that light.

Right here Raz.

 

[Raziek]

Oooooh, it's in Post 39, not the OP. Got it.

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

My second layer contained a picture and an anime name. The name of it is Bleach.

Vote: July

Going to be busy due to my play starting next week (on my birthday), but yeah. I will be in and out when I can.

 

[Circus]

There were a few things that were hinting it could be Pokemafia to me as well. Not enough for me to actually feel comfortable guessing it, but I guess I'm glad to know that's not what it is (or maybe that it's only what it was for the NPC? Since different people seem to be getting different animes?).

I still haven't gotten through any of my layers, but I have yet to make a guess toDay. Need to clear up some things with Nabe first.

Not gonna lie, the idea that the mafia might now know they're the mafia yet really kills my desire to do anything this game. Makes scumhunting very difficult.
