New York 138: OxyMoron Mafia :: Game Over!

[ObliviousDruidMuncher]

Hoppster will replace Kcdaspot.

[Hoppster]

I'll go and do Empking's survey and that's probably it from me w/r/t catch-up posts (I replaced in due to :pity:, don't expect great stuff from me).

Might give a few gut reads and stuff.

I'm probably just going to be sheeping town-reads this game though.

[Hoppster]

Apparently it was mastin not Empking.

Wow, I have a short attention span.

I'm going to try something:

1: Why do you play Mafia?

I don't play Mafia, I win Mafia. :P

2: How old are you?

15, 16 in less than a month

3: How would you describe your general thought process?

I try to put myself in the poster's shoes/mindset.

4: What is your time-zone?

GMT

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

Depends how urgent the solution is. I might ignore it if it's not urgent; if it is I'd just stare glumly at it for a while I guess.

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

Silver. Great Pokémon game.

7: How would you approach this game as town?

This paticular game: probably going to coast and be lazy and just generally go with my gut on most stuff

8: How would you approach this game as scum?

This paticular game: probably would still try and go with my 'gut' on as genuine a level as I can manage

9: What is your gender?

Male

10: Are you nervous?

Relatively speaking: not at all ([REDACTED])

11: What is your experience level?

Umm, wiki is basically up-to-date if you're looking for figures.

Answering in a qualitative (sp?) way: mixed. I have played well in the past (imo) but apparently I am perfectly capable of derping it up

12: What are your strongest emotions?

Anger, frustration

13: What's your general activity level?

Well, I'm quite good at procrastinating, but it really depends on a variety of factors.

14: What is your plan in this game?

Coast, go with gut.

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

RVS.

16: Do you have a reputation? What for?

Well, I don't really have much of a reputation for anything that I know of. I do seem to get a criminally high % of scum PMs though (see wiki).

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

This is an interesting question for me personally.

Early on in my career I got 4 scum Role PMs IN A ROW (making my scum:town PMs ratio 5:2), so naturally I felt my preference swinging towards scum, but recently I've been on a town-streak of sorts and I'm finding it quite enjoyable.

18: What are your favorite three roles?

Sensor, Mason Recruiter, Mafia Traitor

19: What order are those favorite roles in?

Order given.

20: What is your stance on lurkers?

Irritating (if it's not me)

21: How do you plan on catching scum?

Gut. Maybe a case here and there.

22: What do these questions mean to you?

Some were boring, some were fun to answer.

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

idrc

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

It depends what I'm doing. If I'm running/cycling/whatever I'm more likely to go right but if I'm just sitting down I'd probably just stare at them.

No reads to share yet. Going to coast some more before I decide.

If mastin would direct me to a wall naming the scumz I'd be grateful. Too lazy to ISO. Might do it if mastin hasn't got back to me by tomorrow.

[Hoppster]

...

Wow, the activity in this game is ridiculous.

I was planning on being all lazy and shit, but by the looks of things I'll actually be one of the more active people. >_____>


Skimming through ISOs and assembling reads.

Bomberman - town
DavidX - scum
Empking - town
***Estyn - leaning town
Fool_Hardy - town
Foolish Fool - no clear read... but leaning scum on gut
Hoppster - scum
Johhog - scum
LordChronos - scum
**LTP Mafia - null
mastin - town

Oversoul

- leaning town
**red-FF - town
Secret Project - scum
***Vifam - leaning town


Any questions?

[David Xanatos]

You think there's 6 scum in a 20 man game? o_0

[Hoppster]

>> I have a scum-read on you (unexplained)
>> I have a scum-read on MYSELF
>> I have random asterisks
>> I have Oversoul in read

Your question: WTF SIX SCUM?

Really?

[Hoppster]

*DAMNIT RED NOT READ

[David Xanatos]

I have 4 empty cider bottles and a hipflask of whisky. This game is, for all intents and purposes, suspended until replacements come in. The only reason I'm here is because I got an email. xD

And to me, the asterixes impy prod numbers. At leasts, that's what I normally see them as on the playerlist and sometimes forget to remove myself.

[Estyn]

What do the asterixes mean in your reads?

[Estyn]

EBWOP nevermind when i reread your comments i saw you said random asterixes

[Hoppster]

What do the asterixes mean in your reads?

EBWOP nevermind when i reread your comments i saw you said random asterixes

Okay.

Did the colour red mean nothing to you?

[David Xanatos]

Could have been a quoted list from somewhere without the quote tags. Could also mean you're attracting a bull. Or accusing him of being a lady of negotiable affection.. a lot of things.

[Foolish Fool]

The scumread on yourself is a joke presumably?

We do expect some more reasoning on who you think is scum once this game gets going again

[Oversoul]

Why am I in red?

I'm not active cause it is kinda pointless at this moment because we need 7 replacements... And the others aren't active either.

[Hoppster]

The scumread on yourself is a joke presumably?

We do expect some more reasoning on who you think is scum once this game gets going again

Well, yes and no. Obviously I don't mean it so in that respect it's a joke, but I wanted to see what people said (or if they noticed it at all), hence my 'Any questions?'.

So is there some kind of unspoken agreement that the game is paused at the moment then?

[Foolish Fool]

I guess there is,

Btw, you missed Xeras on your list

[ObliviousDruidMuncher]

I'm going to be suspending the game until we find the replacements. You guys can help out as well, if you want. We still need like 6 or so, I think.

[ObliviousDruidMuncher]

Okay, this is ridiculous. Nobody I've PMed has been able to replace in, and apparently my posts in the Large Normal Queue and the Replacements thread have garnered absolutely no support. If I'm not able to find four replacements AND keep the players that stayed from before by the first of September, I'm afraid the game will be in very dire straits.

[ObliviousDruidMuncher]

Lady Lambadelta replaces BomberMan
projectmatt replaces Fool_Hardy
Ironhead replaces MintKitten
bvoigt replaces whiTE_Teaz

EDIT: ALL ROLE PMs HAVE BEEN SENT.

This is enough, in my opinion, to at least re-open the game. I'll continue to search for replacements, though.

[projectmatt]

Hi guys. A user who really wanted this game to keep going PM'd me asking if I could fill in a spot, and I couldn't say no because that would be far too rude. This is my first time replacing into a game though so bear with me as I try to catch up. I'll be away for a decent amount of time tonight but during my re-read I will post or respond to things that I see as scummy and or towntelly. I'm too sporadic to take notes.

@Mod, when is the deadline?

[ObliviousDruidMuncher]

I'm going to make the deadline two weeks from today, and if it seems like we need more time at the deadline, perhaps another week. Day 1, with the mod mix-up (which, I still attest, was completely not my fault. >_>) and the numerous replacements, has gone on far too long.

[David Xanatos]

Can we get a VC or are we clearing the votals?

[projectmatt]

I'm going to go ahead and answer this questionnaire. Answers are in bold.

1: Why do you play Mafia?

It tests your mind. It is also an excellent way to kill time and I like interacting with other people VIA scumhunting.

2: How old are you?

Fifteen.

3: How would you describe your general thought process?

I am very, very bipolar when it comes to how I get my reads. My opinion on your alignment may change if you make one towntell or one scumtell.

4: What is your time-zone?

Eastern timezone.

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

By slowly deducting what caused the problem and putting it together piece by piece.

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

I don't believe in metal.

7: How would you approach this game as town?

Scumhunting

8: How would you approach this game as scum?

Pretending to scumhunt

9: What is your gender?

My gender should have no effect on the way the game is played. Take a guess.

10: Are you nervous?

I always am a bit anxious when entering a game of mafia for the fear that I will scumhunt terribly and be shown as an idiot.

11: What is your experience level?

I frequent epicmafia, so I know how the game works. Unfortunately, the meta here in terms of scumhunting, roles and basically everything is completely different and I am slowly adjusting to the way it works. I have two completed games on this website, currently in three. I am somewhat experienced.

12: What are your strongest emotions?

I will rage at you very easily.

13: What's your general activity level?

Active, but I only contribute when I actually have something to say. Please do not pressure me to contribute more when all of my thoughts are out and anything else would be slanderous filler.

14: What is your plan in this game?

Getting rid of the mafia one by one.

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

RQS

16: Do you have a reputation? What for?

No.

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

Scum.

18: What are your favorite three roles?

Vanilla, Mafia Godfather and Doctor.

19: What order are those favorite roles in?

Mafia Godfather is my favorite, followed closely by Vanilla townie. It's not in any specific order.

20: What is your stance on lurkers?

Depends on the kind of lurking.

21: How do you plan on catching scum?

How do you think I plan on catching scum? By watching and observing the play of every player, deducting who scumtold and who towntold and catching the scum dead in their tracks.

22: What do these questions mean to you?

Nothing.

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

53

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

Go left. It's WIFOM.

Early reads:

Town: Empking, Johnhog

Scum: Oversoul, Mastin

This is based off of the first four pages. Let's see how the rest of this game unfolds.

[Vifam]

Whoa jeez

[Vifam]

I thought this was closed.

@Mod Votecount restarted?
