New York 138: OxyMoron Mafia :: Game Over!

[Johhog]

Johhog:

Are you familiar with either Haylen or myself?

Why do you think that? Nah, I've read a couple of your games (I enjoy reading completed games) and Haylen greeted me when I was a newbie. That's all I think.

Have you read any games from 2009?

Hm, I

think

so (would be kinda strange if I hadn't) but I'm not sure.

[Kcdaspot]

I like this flow. I hereby decide that we won't MC.

i think this is right...

hmm...
i think there is a mechanic in play, that gives scum good fakeclaim opportunities.

What makes you say that?

[Estyn]

And you think Mastin's reads aren't a joke?

And for the record, to save everyone's faces, yes I am a dumb ass. Humor is usually lost on me.

Correct, i think he based his reads off the 25 questions, why else ask them

Do you agree with any of them?

I'd like to see the analysis (preferably Mastin's) why I am scum based off 25 questions.

I find it hard to base reads off of answers to do with general gameplay, especially when people could purposely answer them in a way to suit the role they have in this game.

if MC comes into play again i'll explain but right now i think it's best to leave it be.

allright...

we all sent in 3 roles right?

our favorites?

what if we all got randomly assigned those?

all maf has to do is chose the non-scum role he/she submitted and play accordingly.

I doubt that happened, its a normal game not themed so a fair few roles wouldn't be able to fit the game well (I think)

[Kcdaspot]

so what was the point of the mod asking that question in the first place?

[Kcdaspot]

Plus I don't see what difference it makes.

[Foolish Fool]

I confirm!

(Orange writing is JordanA24)

I'm going to try something:

1: Why do you play Mafia?

I like logic games like this

2: How old are you?

19

3: How would you describe your general thought process?

Somewhat quick and all over the place, not really particularly focused, but I'd like to think logical.

4: What is your time-zone?

GMT

5: How do you approach unique problems in need of solution?

Panic

Shout at it

Look at it for a good while and then hopefully a solution occurs to me

6: What is your favorite precious metal, and why?

Gold, because I like the colour and it represents victory

7: How would you approach this game as town?

Look at who's trying to twist logic and "facts" too much, they tend to be scum

8: How would you approach this game as scum?

Same as above

9: What is your gender?

Male

10: Are you nervous?

Should I be?

11: What is your experience level?

Quite high, but it's been a while since I've played, so probably a bit rusty

12: What are your strongest emotions?

Depends on what's just happened, though more often than not a vague sense of contentment

13: What's your general activity level?

When I'm committed (I should remain so), reasonably active, probably about average

14: What is your plan in this game?

Play as I normally do

15: Which do you prefer: RVS, RQS, or other? (If Other, please explain.)

Definitely RQS, quite a lot more info to glean, RVS is generally pretty stupid and, well random

16: Do you have a reputation? What for?

No idea to be honest

17: Do you prefer playing as town, scum, or other? (If Other, please explain.)

SK is definitely my favourite role, only had it once sadly, turned out disastrously lol

18: What are your favorite three roles?

SK
Mafia Goon
Mafia Godfather

Yeah I'll admit I prefer playing as Scum than I do town.

19: What order are those favorite roles in?

Same as posted

20: What is your stance on lurkers?

Not as necessarily scummy as a lot of people say they are, but yeah, they are annoying

21: How do you plan on catching scum?

Same as posted in Question 7

22: What do these questions mean to you?

We'll see if people say stuff that doesn't fit with what they said here.

23: What is the airspeed velocity of a coconut-laden swallow?

Your Mum

24: You see someone waving their arms and directing you to go right. How do you respond?

Probably go right, unless I knew a reason otherwise.

25: Why did you pre-in for this game?

Haylen asked me to, and I wanted to get back into Mafia to be honest, have missed it.

Phew.

[Estyn]

so what was the point of the mod asking that question in the first place?

I'd guess just because they wanted people to actually read the thread and confirm with what they asked rather than pm'ing him saying /confirm, proves they've read everything he had put in the first post

[Fool_Hardy]

Right, here's my answers;

1: Why do you play Mafia?
Because it's fun and I like arguing with people

2: How old are you?
24

3: How would you describe your general thought process?
Methodical and reflective

4: What is your time-zone?
GMT

5: How do you approach unique problems in need of solution?
Take a step back and look at the whole picture, then break it down into a process.

6: What is your favorite precious metal, and why?
I don't much care for any precious metals.


7: How would you approach this game as town?
The same as I would if I was mafia

8: How would you approach this game as scum?
The same as I would if I was town

9: What is your gender?
Male

10: Are you nervous?
No

11: What is your experience level?
Relatively experienced on other sites, but a first timer to mafia scum.

12: What are your strongest emotions?
I'm dead inside

13: What's your general activity level?
Usually quite active

14: What is your plan in this game?
Get to know how games are played on mafia scum.

15: Which do you prefer: RVS, RQS, or other? (If Other, please explain.)
I have no idea what RVS or RQS means

16: Do you have a reputation? What for?
No, but you'll quickly realise I'm quite up for an argument

17: Do you prefer playing as town, scum, or other? (If Other, please explain.)
I really don't mind.

18: What are your favorite three roles?
Again, I don't mind

19: What order are those favorite roles in?
I don't really have one

20: What is your stance on lurkers?
I don't like them. They tend to outlive the active players and the game can die towards the end

21: How do you plan on catching scum?
By reviewing voting patterns and by analysing each post in game terms.

22: What do these questions mean to you?
Nothing really

23: What is the airspeed velocity of a coconut-laden swallow?
42

24: You see someone waving their arms and directing you to go right. How do you respond?
By asking them why they want me to go right.

There... got to say, that's some introduction to my first mafia game!

[Fool_Hardy]

...on this website... dear oh dear.

Fools: Can at least one of you get an avatar?

[Vifam]

Fools: Can at least one of you get an avatar?

Oh god this is setting up to be just like [REDACTED].

[Vifam]

An additional question I want to ask everyone:

25A: Do you play more for fun, or more for the thrill of victory?

I like winning but I'm content with knowing that I played a decent game.

25B: Your stance aside, do you think others should play with a similar outlook? Explain why or why not.

I think everyone should have the same outlook as me, TBH.

[Johhog]

You guys know what? This is [REDACTED] just like [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED]. Also, [REDACTED] is [REDACTED] [REDACTED] and [REDACTED].

Hehe. Are you aware that Large Normals like this one can take several months to complete?
Looking forward to play with you at my own home pitch so to speak.

[Johhog]

And btw, nice avatar... but what is it?

[Vifam]

That avatar is hideous.


Not even the funny type of hideous.

[Fool_Hardy]

It's a haggis and he is wearing a top hat
