Oh and Sil, you're being more paranoid than necessary, which makes me think you're up to something. I'm wondering what part of my crazy theorizing I was right about...

What's your case really about, because it sounds really empty. I think my questions and wondering about the mechanic is absolutely called for, and I'm not afraid to look stupid, which is a healthy sign compared to jumpy, jittery players like you Sil. I want to find UB too, but you have to admit it's kinda hard, so think about strategy is completely natural, which you choose to ignore. However, you just jumped to the first place on my suspicion list. Good job.

vote Silanah

Wow, omgus much?

D'riss seems quite happy to throw insults at other people ("stupid posts" etc) instead of doing anything productive, and is actually being counter-productive with his claims to ignorance. I'm happy where my vote is.

I 'm not sure you are right Serc, heres what I get

I n' always do not like to made Driss thus plays I will keep my vote to stay to the end more on him. S' it n' then I am not UB must believe and the c' is quelqu' one embanking.

maybe you can read it?

For god's sake, how obviously French was that first post? Online translator gives:

"I do not always like how Driss plays, therefore I will keep my magic permanent vote on him. If it is not UB, then I must believes that the this is someone terracing."

I don't know what terracing is, but I guess others have got it right with the symping, cos I can't think of anything else it could be. Of course Bubba has made it clear there are no symps so he's clearly wrong.

This seems to be close to something... but I'm not sure where he's referring to so I'll go back and look.

[Silanah]

Ah, it was there anyway.

"if Bubba find sense he die " would become "if Bubba find sense IS die "

But that makes no sense.

Mockra, try and post some more stuff so we can tell if we're getting the gist.

[Silanah]

Aaaaah I made a mistake. It should be "I" not "Is"

If Bubba find sense I die.

Ok, so Mockra now we can understand you. You can post some thoughts about the game.

[Silanah]

So ronery!

(And no, I haven't been forced to speak only in Parker/Stone song lyrics)

[Kalse]

I'm sure Telas is a nice person, but he should work on his foreign language skills

I will complete the translation of his original French comment:

"I do not always like how Driss plays, therefore I will keep my magic permanent vote on him. If it is not UB, then I must believes that the this is someone laying low."

As for Mockra, I'm a bit worried that since we can now read his posts, can't Bubba? Unless it was "if Bubba finds sense before you guys do" that he dies

[Kalse]

No idea what the count is, but it seems that there is something forming on D'riss in the last page.

Nothing against it, at this point, like Eloth pointed out in his OMGUS vote on me, I have no idea how UB would play this game. I wouldn't say D'riss had "stupid" suggestions, like he's interpreting the comments, but he was indeed the one with the wildest theories, even when they went against the little information we had.

I don't think the carrying over of the votes is the secret mechanism, because I remember Bubba mentioning it before, either in the MOD thread or the mysterious vanished sign-up thread (I'm still wondering wtf is with that by the way)

[Silanah]

I'm pretty sure the hidden mech is something to do with vents. But I'm fucked if I know what it's supposed to be.

[Osseric]

Ok, just got a quick catch up done, hard to read on this bloody phone. Will be casting a vote at tea time

Tennes, can you avoid using Klingon?

I can follow you in French, italian and spanish, but your Klingon stuff the online translator I found spouts gibberish.

Unless it's not klingon, in which case stick to latin languages!

I'll go check the OP now and think

[Kalse]

I think the most hilarious thing I ever read in an opening post is this:

Bubba, on 03 January 2010 - 07:19 PM, said:

Ok standard rules apply.

Come on Bubba....






OK, I don't see it either. UB was preparing cells for us in front of Hood's gate, his magic got mixed with some chaotic magic, he got trapped in also. We arrive, we get caught in the magic, an we're alone in cells and vote using a scroll, whoever we vote for goes into the Abyss. Hood asks us to send UB into the abyss.

All we have is the scrolls and the vent.

All I can think is:
Can/should we escape through that vent?
Did UB escape from his cell through that vent and there's basically no scum playing in this game?
Can we use that vent to communicate with each other off-thread?

[Kalse]

Of the three, the only thing that makes a bit of sense mafia-wise is the third one, but how do we test that unless we have explicit permission from the mod?

boo for spite. I guess no one had anything to say in regards to my previous posts. I'm off to sleep

If you find it highly doubtful, why would you think that lynching Silenced posters isn't our best course of action?

How does this make any sense at all? It's like you're in opposite land.

Tennes, on 06 January 2010 - 12:36 AM, said:

Je n'aime pas toujours comment Driss joue, donc je garderai mon vote permanent magique sur lui. S'il n'est pas UB, alors je dois crois que le c'est quelqu'un terrassant.

Sometimes I wish I'd spent more time paying attention in my french class.

Telas, on 06 January 2010 - 12:38 AM, said:

Whew. That was interesting. I gotta admit, I laughed a little while reading Mockras posts, thats gotta be frustrating as hell to try and do. I'm not sure I like his self vote, I mean why go all emo like that, you're silenced, in a game that everyone would be as well for UB to win. Just strikes me as an odd thing to do.

And Eloth, I hate that you left, because I really want you to explain why you said

Eloth, on 05 January 2010 - 11:56 PM, said:

You accuse Galain of being scum for voting Tulas even though he didn't think he was scum. I did not do the exact same thing-because I didn't say that I felt Tulas wasn't scum. I included the possibility he was being forced, but still stand by my vote.

As for leaving afterwards, I came on to vote, because we've had no-lynches quite a lot recently and wanted to avoid that.

when in fact you said

Eloth, on 04 January 2010 - 06:20 PM, said:

Ok.

Vote Tulas Shorn

Because even if he's not UB he's not helping anything at all.

I'm thinking that it is possible that this is the hidden mechanic however, some form of forcing a player to behave in a certain way. Can't tell at the moment, but if it crops up again, certainly worth thinking about.

Sure you qualified it by saying it might be forced, however, you DID say that if he isn't scum, he needs to die anyway. Also, I dont like how you hop on, find the 2 votes against you, drop an OMGUS vote on one person, and then once again scamper off.

Therefore

Keep my vote on Eloth

Reading comprehension is a bitch, aint it?

D, on 06 January 2010 - 04:08 AM, said:

Not you too, Shadow. Excuse me for being skeptical and trying to think outside of the box. If you want me to shut up, you can just say that you know, this screaming for blood for no reason is totally getting in the way of finding UB.

I hate mafia games where people think about how clever they will look themselves as opposed to actually winning. And I'm not so sure about what Bubba has actually told us. To me speculating is part of the fun in a mafia game, and if you want to stop me from having fun, there's no reason to play at all, really.

Not saying I'm gonna throw in the towel or anything, I'm just moping.

remove vote

I don't really think Sil is UB, he's too whiny for it. I'd say UB is probably somewhere in the middle posting range, because the top or the bottom are too dangerous. Sil fits into that spectrum, but he's sticking his neck out, which UB wouldn't I think. My guess is either of Osseric, Omtose or Serc.

Edit: or possibly Shadow, but I think UB wouldn't be as stupid as that last post.

And this. Wow for overreaction. Either you've got the thinnest skin in mafia history, or you've got something to be nervous about. It would seem likely that it's the later rather than the former considering I don't think this is your first game.

Loath as I am to remove my vote, it seems my suspicions of Osseric is not shared by the majority. As such I am willing to vote for D'riss, though I'd prefer Telas at this point. There just seems to be too much errors and faulty logic coming from him for my taste.

Eso es exactamente lo que dije. ¡Usted pensaría que hablo un idioma extranjero o algo!

Si no Driss, entonces alguien ocultando.

[Tennes]

Osseric et Ruse, vous êtes les deux nu !

Je suis heureux que quelques gens allument parler. A que pensez-vous ce qu'arrive ?

Cant access a translator at the minute so i'l have to let someone else sort that one out. The votes seem to be piling up on driss here, and he does seem a tad skitish or something.
I'm happier with the telas vote, but I may change when I check in later

[Kalse]

He's saying that you are naked.

He's happy people are active on thread and asks us what we think is happening.

[Kalse]

Anyone else has any suggestions about the vent thingy?

[bubba]

going to do an update now....

[Okaros]

yeah, like I havent heard that before
