Wild West Mafia, Game#1

[Jimmy]

Tough to decide between voting the douchebags or voting inactives, but decided that getting rid of inactives will be more helpful at this point

Jimmy and Golena both only have two posts so I tossed a coin.

unvote downyangel
vote Golena

aloth i agree inactives suck and im glad you didnt toss me.


iv read the thread over and over again im still confused as to who to vote.

reasons why people have voted the way they have would be nice

 

[old.Tohtori]

Time to make a stand i guess.

With all things said, i've come to this conclusion:

RandomBastard and the Sheriff thing, it's a bit flimsy as a reason, but none the flimsier then other accusations so early on into the investication.
Voting Golena for being the quiet one in town, fair enough, though a bit harsh.

But, and i do say many things do not bother me, but voting for someone on the basis of waking up, is dangerous and "shoot from the hip" behaviour and as such, i must say that i would like such elements removed.

Vote: Rubric

Both things he's said on all of this are rather odd.

(Mod: Votecount please, confused of status)

Vote: Rubric

Hmm,you are certainly making a point here but i still think that's quite harsh.

 

[ECA]

It looks like we cant get a concensus going, so I'd like to make my point that

A) inactives make a game tougher for all sides and make it more boring
B) we either kill an inactive and make them be more interesting in future games, or we nolynch in which case an inactive survives and tomorrow the game takes even longer and is more boring.

 

[Rubric]

Rubric's random accusation to Levin.

Unvote: No Lynch

It's not a random accusation, th bastard woke me up.

Now it's you disturbing my slip laddey, so unless you want to take his place i suggest you show me some respect and leave me in peace.

I remember a time when shooting fromt he hip was the norm in this town, Damn youngsters.

Now i meant it, let me sleep or i will stick my rifle up your buts and blow the tops of your heads.

 

[Ch3tan]

Now now, there be no need for that kind of behaviour. You aint exactly making yourself look to innocent there Rubric.

100% agree

 

[gohan]

vote golena


1 random post isnt enought to be "active" imo


plus im bandwagoning you, can you feel the bandwagon rolling on over OH YES

 

[Ch3tan]

vote golena

Now I may not be the sharpest tool in the box, but I don't like being made a fool of. I am certain Golena has spoken twice.

Ah yes, here it is in the minutes of our town meeting meeting.

unvote Levin (?)

vote the trickster Gohan

Don't think attacking inactive ones is that smart tbh
Sure, they might be quiet

Have we EVER seen a mafia being killed because he was inactive?
And no, ofcourse that doesn't mean anything but i'd rather put a vote out on somebody who gives me the impression that he's not clean then just see at the end of every day who posted least and then vote him off.

 

[Ch3tan]

What is this mafia you speak off? Careful with your new words, they seem like meta gaming to me. That's a sure way to get hung round these parts Calo.

Yes we have actually.

Secondly, not voting people who are quiet/inactive leads to boring games - yes its a decent strategy to avoid suspicion, but it also makes every game boring, and thats something we're trying to proactively police.

Minpostcounters = burned to death.

(Just OOC: That thing flew out the window while back with mentions of games, previous games etc )

 

[Ch3tan]

Dont mean we cannot resolve to change our ways goin forward though young pup.

 

[Rubric]

Now now, there be no need for that kind of behaviour. You aint exactly making yourself look to innocent there Rubric.

I been in this town since you were a twinkle in your daddys eye young Ch3t, I don't care what you think i look like.

 

[Levin]

I'm not sure which hurts us more.. quiet people or people who shoot from the hip. The former make things boring, while the latter can make things blow up in our face.

That said.. even though i'm being targetted by Rubric the cowboy here, shooting from the hip is a good way of stirring up a ruckus. I've been known to do that myself in my younger days, down in Campton where them ladies sing so fine and the booze is cheap! It's harsh but if Golena doesn't speak up some time soon, I think i'm going to have to agree with those voting for him.

For now though..

Unvote: Rubric

Just had to comment on this. I know it's far fetched but if what you say is true.. someone could use that to their advantage, thinking people will think like you just did? Then again, it would seem strange to gamble on that when you could just post like normal people. It would be like taking a 50% risk of getting lynched instead of a ... well whatever it is when everyone posts and all things are equal.

I suppose maybe I'm agreeing with you afterall, but I do think it does makes our lives a lot more difficult! Maybe it's a question if we should off such people to motivate better future behaviour, or if we should think short term and vote for who we think is actually likely to be bad? I'm willing to give it a little longer I suppose, but not too long.

 

[Golena]

I could simply post lots of "sits on doorstep smoking" posts as well, but that doesn't really move the game along either.

I'm watching carefully currently but since we need 8 people to lynch someone the real clues are likely to come when someone gets more than 2 votes on them, which hasn't happened yet.

There appears to me to be more roles in the towns favour than in recent games so i'm quite happy to wait a night and see how they work out rather than risk randomly lynching one of them on the first day with little to go on. Given i've already cast my vote in that direction i'd rather sit back and see what clues other people can dig up in their voting investigations and not fill up pages with random posts just to "up my post count for the sake of it". If someone starts to stand out or I think I can glean some info with a vote as that happens then i'll change my vote accordingly. I've always found that the interesting votes occur when people are closer to being lynched than having 2/8 votes on them also. If that means I get lynched for being innactive then so be it.

 

[Uara]

I'm not sure which hurts us more.. quiet people or people who shoot from the hip. The former make things boring, while the latter can make things blow up in our face.

I think the danger can come from both sides. Quiet people as in people who don't contribute much don't really move the game along, however we shouldnt just string them up for it straight away. They might just be in a busy period of work or something. Although there comes a point when a stand has to be made.

The people who shoot from the hip do help bring the game along, but as they seem to be more going from gut instinct, sometimes there might be slightly less logic in their choice and so the wrong person might be lynched. I kno not hugely important in the first day or so, as the numbers are still in our favour. But if thinkin like that continues towards the middle and latter stages of our hunt it becomes a risky gambit.

 

[Levin]

hmm Aye good point altho
I was sure I had posted it as it was part of the origional txt file, but anyway

The town has 14 Citizens
ECA
Jimmy
Gohan
Will
Rubric
RandomBasterd
Calo
Downanael
Uara
Iceforge
Golena
Levin
Ch3tan
Old.Tohtori

with 14 citizens alive it requires a majority of 8 to hang someone.

Here you go, ECA.

 

[Levin]

Eh.. ECA, where did your post asking for participants go??

 

[ECA]

Dunno, I didnt touch it.

You could ask questions or be interesting, if everyone took your approach nobody would bother playing

 

[Levin]

Bizzarre!

Anyway, while I agree that taking the sparse posting approach is a bit boring.. if you only have time to post about once a day, i guess it can be understandable. I had that problem during my last weeks of work before vacation. The bad thing is that it usually gets those who talk more hung. Except lately, where it's switched around to getting those who don't talk hung! So.. the question remains; should we base the hangings on activity then? I suppose it's an easy way out when we've got not much else to go on.

 

[RandomBastard]

Lets hang us a varmit!

 

[Ch3tan]

Does no one in this godfarsaken town know how to stay in character in a themed game? I rekon we should hang us a meta gamer.

 

[Rubric]

erm,

 

[old.Tohtori]

Hmm. I do wonder about Levin changing his vote after i casted more suspicion towards Rubric. Seems rather odd.

*writes down in small black book*

Ah hecks pecks! There goes Lindas number...*mumbles and walks away*

 

[Uara]

Lets hang us a varmit!

Well we just need to find someone 8 of us can agree is a varmit to hang now

 

[RandomBastard]

I reckon we need to stir things up a bit, so I'm a gonna change my varmit vote to that there trouble looking fella.

vote: ch3tan
