The PlanetCricket.org Mafia - End game

[Perfect Square]

I don't understand the complaints about the game being too slow or boring or inactive. We are on Day 3 and already we have over 400 posts in this thread. I'm not sure what else qualifies as something "not boring/not slow".

If anything, this is turning out to be one of the better games being played right now. Everyone seems to be playing so well (well, apart from Rudolph ) that it's hard to determine who is telling the truth and who is lying. I think that's one of the reasons we are unable to zero in on a lynch and have players contemplating what to post.

Hardly anyone seems to be slipping up.

Seems like you are enjoying your role pretty much.

I enjoy every game irrespective of the role I have.

 

[zwarrior]

I am ready. But all of us should post at the same time. Are you ready to post ?

I am. But what about others?

Seems like you are enjoying your role pretty much.

I enjoy every game irrespective of the role I have.

What about you both ?

I am Asprin.
Unlynch Alib
Lynch Asprin
I don't think he is playing his usual self.

 

[zwarrior]

I am Jack Ryder.

I am Jack Ryder.

Then I will be wary of you. I might have thousands of reasons to shut down this site.

I think we can all agree that that's a pretty lame reason to lynch someone - it's something that one usually gives as the lynch reason when he/she doesn't have any solid evidence to back his/her claim to lynch.

When will you people learn that this move (to reveal names) is going to hurt the town. You leave me no choice but to go with the majority here.

I'm El Loco.

Nope. It's a good reason. The way a person is playing tells about them.
Maybe it'snot a good move but at least it will move the game forward.
@User2010 can we get a lynch count?

zwarrior here.

He's a vanilla. I'd think Loco and Jack would be vanillas too but they've been around for a bit so idk. If they are vanillas, then something's wrong bc I don't think we have a tracker, roleblocker, vigilante and five vanillas (me, swacker, perfect square, zwarrior, asprin).

- This is an advanced game which means you will have to think outside the box.
- It doesn't necessarily mean roles are fancy but more so the setup is different.

It was night and majority were asleep. Most of those who were awake wanted to ban people...

Hey come on, do it!

I thought you knew how to do it. I can't.

Whatttt? I can't either. Wtf!

So now what?

Do what you know, I will do what I know.

Done.

Done. Now sleep!

He knew he was an important one but played it safe for the night.

Think Ive cracked it. They were talking about the ability to ban, I.e. Nightkill. They realized that neither had it. "Do what you know, I will do what I know" means they have night roles other than night kills. There was no roleblocking at all. It's just supposed to reveal that they can't nightkill.

"He knew he was an important player", so I'm guessing we just have the one power role on our side, i.e. the vigilante, especially given that everyone else is seemingly vanilla. And if you think about it, the only people with access to roleblocking and tracking on a hacked site would be the hackers. They're supposed to use those roles to identify the vigilante and SK during the day, and then take them out when suitable during the day. The vigilante, when using his role, would be very likely to accidentally take out a townie, thus somewhat making up for the mafia's lack of a nightkill. He would probably be an older admin who somehow retained his permissions and is trying to save the site. The serial killer fits quite well in this setup since he can just keep taking people out as the sole anti town night killer.

So there we have our mafia team guys. Rudolph and Ali. They're roleblocker and and tracker, just on the mafia's side.

That's not a good approach. Just because you want the game to move forward you're willing to risk a townie getting killed? A townie's life has no significance for you? I wonder what type of role would necessitate taking such a step. It's not a positive role I can tell you that.

I was giving you the benefit of doubt for so long now but not anymore. You are more interested in getting a move on than trying to play tactically. Simon too is quite close to treading that same line but at least he hasn't asked for crazy ideas like revealing one's names.

Lynch: Jack Ryder

Simon, what you analyzed is certainly plausible. It now matters how many of us can agree with it.

How did you deduce that asprin, ps and I are vanillas ?

Yup. I have been telling this since starting.

This theory is really good. I would like to see how Rudolph and Ali respond to this.

I hardly find the notion of moving forward suspicious at this point, everything being so dead. If anything, lynches make people talk, and that always blows the game wide open with clues and all. Another thing to note is that the more we wait, the more the mafia can use the confusion to their advantage.

 

[SiriusBlack]

How did you deduce that asprin, ps and I are vanillas ?

Just the people whom you're claiming to be. All of them are mafia regulars and there isn't much to separate them. I know my character is vanilla, PS is claiming vanilla and I'm just adding two and two. I could be wrong of course, but it fits my theory quite well. Your and asprin's reactions to my theory only strengthens my confidence in it now.

 

[asprin]

Moving forward at the risk of hurting the town certainty is. However, I still wouldn't have lynched him just for that reason. What bothered me more is his indifference towards the life of a townie. I didn't find that attitude desirable.
