said by MDReferee :said by AmeritecTech :Off the top of my head, farm animals with regard to cow being the mason recruiter seemed pretty hard on cow. I thought about that and it was totally unintentional... I had intended to have htmlartist just chalking moons to make you all think there was also a star cult, but I got caught up in the flavor text early on (and you caught me) so I did something on the fly to add back in the uncertainty and inadvertently blew cow's cover. In the end, it didn't matter because that night was when he attempted to recruit jehu. Whaaa? You blew my cover before I died? You should have granted me a ghost kill. -- Flickr | Iraq & Darfur - The Politics of Naming: Genocide, Civil War, Insurgency |

| reply to 42246015 said by 42246015 :said by Jehu :lol randomizers. In the spirit of encouraging participation: VOTE: Mastr BlastrCome out and play. That's a good point. We need to be looking at the people that have been lurking and not participating. Historically, the mafia and especially the serialkiller/werewolf roles have always been very, very quiet. Now if we base a list of who's a bad guy and who's a townie on their participation, the list would look like this, if my research is correct: Townie:Jehu AmeritecTech hesher htmlartist muzcsman lollercakes azntechnology lurlyn cow older dog Bad guy (mafia/SK/werewolf/cult/etc):Yock Marijuana kewlkarim Sharingan77 Mastr Blastr TeatherWind Obliteration Chlen Jagermeister Now this list is probably not in the least bit accurate, so don't take it as such. I'm just basing this off of people that have been active in the thread, and people that have posted long posts, etc, versus people that have not been very active in the thread and have posted very short posts or no post at all. And this is just a quick list of people I have come up with off the top of my head based on what I remember, I haven't actually gone through, calculated how many times someone has posted, etc. So basically this list is just for fun. But still something to consider. Here it is. Look at the top of the good list. -- "Independent thinkers tend to ALWAYS have someone Not agreeing with them.

That was the biggest reason I decided to go after Hesher.

If you had been going after someone else, I would have killed you to frame that person, in which case lynching that person would have been bad for the town.
Your case against me was not great. It consisted mostly of "he seems like a townie, therefore he is mafia". That said, you're one of the few people that we killed because you were considered a threat.
Your mafia blocking was a non-issue because we had you role-blocked.
But anyway, I think you played the game really well, and you kept implicating our members. I had to hold them back from killing you several times because of the consequences it would have had in implicating us.

| reply to muzscman said by muzscman :holy crap...good job. i mean fantastic job guys. i say we let game 10 finish up then we can start two smaller games. this 23 person game lasted waaaay to long. The amount of people is fine. People who don't participate need to be mod killed faster and make it role revealed. They tend to go much faster and be a lot more interesting as in my opinion they require more skill since these keep the town in the dark the whole game about how many are against them.
Frankly, I think a 50 person game would be interesting but it would never reach that point since I doubt that many people want to play.
The reason these go so slow is because they are closed mainly. Meaning nobody knows what roles they have or don't. -- "The constitution is just a goddamn piece of paper."-George W. Bush, Nov. 2005 |

That is one thing I'm pretty decent at this game. 
If you would have killed Lurlyn before me. I would have made a huge push for you.
Anyway, you played it very well and so did Jehu. I think however your tell will be obvious like Yock's if you play it like that again. I don't know how it slipped by me this long, might have been you and Yock pushed not to lynch me and against it. I saw that a huge mafia benefit and no reason why you wouldn't let the lynch or push for another one again as I doubt that would have given you away. You need to present evidence against others and make bigger cases on them when mafia so you have no tell. In my opinion you do this a lot more as a townie which is why I all of a sudden came in with a vote for you. Seemed too odd like Yock. Not a huge tell obviously as I don't think many there noticed. Lurlyn was asking you for advice after like 10 townies deaths. 
P.S.- Quit playing like mafia for other townies(Aztec, Teather, and Jager).
No vocal opinions are found extremely odd since you are not helping the town try to find mafia.  -- "The constitution is just a goddamn piece of paper."-George W. Bush, Nov. 2005 |

| said by Obliteration :Lurlyn was asking you for advice after all right after like 10 townies deaths. That's because I spent the whole game building rapport. If you had managed to get me lynched, I'm confident that Lurlyn would have saved me, which is a good part of the reason we kept her around.  -- "Independent thinkers tend to ALWAYS have someone Not agreeing with them.

| reply to MDReferee Good game everyone.
Especially you, AmeritecTech, I still can't believe nobody (except Obliteration) pushed for a vote on you. After I died (too early) I noticed the cult recruiter also died. I figured he was trying to recruit one of his friends in real life, something either you or KewlKarim pointed out early in the game. So I figured either AmeritecTech or KewlKarim was mafia. Then, in the middle of the game somewhere, when Obliteration was about to be lynched, you came out late and basically said "no, he's innocent" Of course, no one knows that but the Mafia, so it was a good cover for you. That's when I figured you had to be Mafia.
And I agree with Obliteration, lurkers are never good for the town. They either need to be voted on or the mod should prod them. And oh yeah, dying on the first night sucks  -- And I'm losing all those stupid games, that I swore I'd never play. But it almost feels okay. "Aside" -The Weakerthans |

| reply to MDReferee Non-trivial open game with normal moderator, that's what I am waiting for. In other words, include the special roles but let them be known. Closed games are dull and boring because there is nothing to work with.
Modkills of non-participants sounds good. That victory in the other game due solely to the cop being at work was LAME. |

| I think the closed format has folks a bit gun shy. I hope by now most of them realize that it's in their best interest to be involved and active in the discussion.
The game I'm planning would have to be closed, but will have certain elements that encourage people to participate. Have faith! -- Laughter is the closest distance between two people. --Victor Borge "The opposite of war isn't peace, it's creation." |
