Urgh.
Got up at 6, arrive at work at 8, post twice, press reply to make a third.
6 hours fly by, I look at my tabs, notice the game. 2 pages have been added.

This is my current mafia life.

[Macros]

This has been a very active day so far, Im hoping the phone signal is as good at my next port of call.

Tatts, mess and andiron are firing posts out like crazy. Overall content has been either helping newbies and quoting stuff, wall o'quote text blocks that I habitually scan and what I read as a "NO YOU!!" Match between tatts and andiron.

Realistically a meaning post from me at this juncture of the game is laptop material, which will be after work.

[Khellendros]

I've got a bit of a work emergency today guys, but hopefully will be around in the evening.

[Coltaine -]

Okay, now I'm trying to understand what happend in the last 2.5 hours.

But first.

Oh short introduction since I've not found a better place to do it.

I'm new here, have been playing mafia for a long time on another forum though.

It seemed like great fun to me to join a new community where I'm not yet aware of everyone's meta and such.
I'm watching the mafia 'champions' game, since my other forum also sent a representative, and saw that there was a champion from Malazan Empire (that's you, bear man).
I'm a big fan of Malazan, and not a big fan of the ridiculously 'srs bsns' tone that the bigger mafia boards have, so this seemed perfect.

I'm going to enjoy playing with you all and hope you do the same

Nice to meet you. I already thought that this is not your first game due to your very detailed analysis.

[Gust Hubb]

Been too long and good to be back.

good to see you return, what do you make of the day so far?

[Siergiej]

Holy cow, a lot of meta gaming happening here so far, from a newbie's perspective. Will have some time in the evening (I'm in CET timezone) so I will gather and share more thoughts in a couple of hours.

[Tapper]

@Tatts: no set-up speculation from me. I could see Gnaw make the new additions to the forum scum, in time honoured tradition. In another time honoured tradition, I am going to firmly behave like this is out of the question until we have proof*.




*= proof being defined as a vague gut feeling and/or no clear targets for a lynch.

Another CET player! My prayers are heard. Finally someone to talk to apart from Tatts.
Everyone: be nice to them. I want to keep them as active players.

Anyhow, welcome! You will be able to alt Tattersail and me because we are also old-world time zoned. Same goes for Khell and Messremb, but they're on such irregular schedules that they could be anywhere in the world.

Wow. That's almost more posts today than I managed last game as a whole...

On the other hand, if its time to get serious,

M&P with one non standard role?

So, 1-2 killers, 1 symp, 1 healer/guard, and one town vig?

Thoughts, people?

5 seconds into the game and you are starting the mechanics talk?

Game mechanics speculation already?
I've got my eye on you Andorion!

See, if Macros said it, it must be worth considering

[HiddenOne]

People thrashing Andorion for talking about town roles? There will be talk of "that's why nobody wants to post anymore"

Vote Andorion

let that be a lesson to you

You are what we call a Hustler, where I come from - you show up all big-eyed and acting naive, then BAM! you rake in the winnings.

watching you now

Can someone point me towards the anonymous option because I can't find it

Log out, click the log in at top right and in the drop down there is username, password and two tick boxes - Remember me and "Sign in anonymously; Don't add me to the active users list". Tick Anonymous, sign in

We have to play Anon in a unalted game?

Yes, no assumptions on Cult till we see a Cult CF!

Eh who said anything about a Cult? I must have missed something

You got the Serial Killer memo though?

And just to complete the set, the FM-ing Tyrant Predator?

I'll lay money on an FM

BTW what do you think of a Tatts killer, Nom symp duo?

Have you any examples of symping?

Tatts plays a bit like me - he has quiet games or quiet days but can be a posting monster (spambot) too without it having a real bearing on his role. As a result I find it difficult to get a decent read on him in early game (and we have been confused before too)

No specific symping yet, he did pile on pretty fast after Tatts though.

I agree its a bit early to come to definite conclusions, but this does not seem like one of Tatts high posting - throw shot and see what sticks strategy which I have seen him use when he is Town.

This is totally true

[Tattersail_]

It's early days yet.

I have the posting time, but I don't see a better remove from Andorion at the moment.

How is this for his posting times?

I gave up on my spreadsheet about 25 games ago, you'll have to use the search function

Personally, I prefer higher contributions from everyone and am happy to see it. Ando clearly feels that he is getting a good enough feel for how games are structured to speculate on this one in thread. I like it.

so dissapointed

and me too

[Andorion]

12 hours into the game and the only remarkable thing happening is the lynch train developing on me as I have profaned the sacred mafia alter of "Touch not the game mechanics". Also because people aren't finding anything else voteworthy yet.

Most interesting thing to me? Tatts lightning swift volte face regarding same issue when I was challenged.

Hmmm. Couple that with a divergence from his usual style of play and its quite quite suspicious.

[HiddenOne]

DKT style catch up^TM is complete, so back to work - I'm out of time to slack off

Pointing straight back at Tatts already?
