*stops munching popcorn and throws away the whole bag*
Okay, let's get serious.
So, here's something I find both hilarious and also concerning:
Number of people who used the message board for bullshit: everyone
did you expect anything less? it happened the last time, it'll happen again. when people actually get useful stuff they'll post there.
Actually... not quite; you'd be surprised what you could find with a few little references here and there. People are already making moves with their messages [not that there's anything meaningful necessarily now], and if certain players play it right, I think you could get hints about who is who (although, that could also expose them to mafia, but unless mafia has really intelligent code crackers, it'll be a better play for townies,
especially as the mafia doesn't get the ability to steal items).
So with that out of the way, let me say this: I always let the first few rounds slip because I usually have some other game or thing to do elsewhere besides MUHFIA 100% of the time, and that my scumhunting is bad anyway. In addition, it's hard to 'ISO' anyone because a lot of
sourdough and lemon has already been thrown around deliberately AND accidentally. Dodging the food fight is exasperating when you're trying to sit down and have a conversation.
But to focus:
1011686,
Ryli (aka morningstar),
fabian771, and
UTAlan are the players with the fewest amount of posts besides me. Technically I have/had one less because my opening post counts as one too, so I have less than the first two users mentioned. That's still higher than UTAlan and fabian771 however. Quantity aside...
Even though UTAlan may be experiencing some real life connectivity problems (or hell, just some day-to-day business), I'm curious as to what his position is on the whole rob/Linkcat debacle.
fabian771 doesn't have the same excuse though, so my sights are on him more, especially as he's not as fresh as danil is.[snip]
From my understanding, Link just randomly said that Rob was mafia out of nowhere and Rob defended himself. It got to a very petty squabble, then they came to a resolution.
As far as I care, it looks like they're both mafia, trying to distance themselves. Both arugments presented were just as weak as Demagog's shitspewing, and I can't fathom any reason why Linkcat would act thusly.
#Conspiracy
I'll suppose we'll learn today, though.
I find this train of thought also fascinating, and I wouldn't put it above Linkcat's/rob's capabilities to manipulate the entire system if BOTH of them were mafia (rather than both being civilian). Not likely though, and a pretty absurd scenario in any case.
See, RR was towards the top of my list and he got nixed. Sorry buddy
And this part right here makes me want to scold you Demagog. The fact that you gave the mafia a list of so-called 'priority targets' has more risks than benefits.
For one; the mafia team now has an incentive to look at that list and create a narrative where certain 'top-skilled' players are spared for more randomized targets, making the top of your own list look like mafia... which, paradoxically enough, would mean that if you (the #1 on the list) are not killed throughout the majority of the game, will create a WIFOM situation where either you're a civy who is being framed by mafia, or a mafia who has created the frame on yourself because you weren't killed the entire time. This of course applies to everyone technically speaking, but the whole 'let's create a list of vv's and ww's' often skews the "more-inclined" analytical players into making terrible decisions in judgement.
I have an idea, but it's probably not gonna happen. I'll type it out later.
