Newbie 1289 - Game Over!

[izakthegoomba]

Natural_river replaces BT.

[Natural_river]

okay guys, I just joined this game... I just made a quick scroll through the pages, and I guess I underestimated the amount of information that could be placed in just a few pages.
So give me some time to read it all, and It'll be like nothings ever changed.
Nothing... nothing changed.

yes.

[buldermar]

Natural_river replaces BT.

Paper never responded to your prod and it has now been over 3 days since his last post. I also requested a prod on ovyo after 48 hours of inactivity. Would it be unreasonable of me to ask for Paper to get replaced? I'm not familiar with the general consensus regarding inactivity.

[izakthegoomba]

I'll deal with that tonight if one or both of them haven't posted, but no, it's not unreasonable.

[Natural_river]

Okay, I have taken some hours to read these posts, now this is a LOT of information and fingerpointing.
The names that pop in my head after reading all these posts, (some of them so long my mind busts, with words that the devil himself couldn't understand)
are buldermar, tierce and vendetta21.

I've tried to get a clear image in my head of who is who, but to me it seems like a bunch of bickering that started somewhere with correcting each other about gameplay.
I'm afraid the real mafia is lurking in the shadows.

For some reason ovyo seems most suspicious to me.
Ever since the focus has been directed at buldermar, ovyo stayed perfectly silent and is conveniently "bogged down with coursework".
Now I am not saying that buldermar is not mafia or so, but I'm only seeing two names, whilst the rest kind of silently follows every now and then joining and agreeing/disagreeing
with what those two have to say.

Maybe the real mafia lurks in the dark crevasse, and is waiting to pop out unexpectedly like diarrhea in an old lady's bowels who has had constipation problems for weeks and had just ingested large amounts of laxative.

Sorry for the disturbing image, but I found such an image appropriate for mafia scum.

to contribute I will UNVOTE: (if BT has voted at least)
and put my vote to VOTE: ovyo until I have been convinced that my vote has been placed incorrectly.

Would I be correct in interpreting this as a policy vote or am I missing something?

[Natural_river]

I don't know what a "policy vote" is, please explain.

[buldermar]

I don't know what a "policy vote" is, please explain.

It is a vote based on a policy. For instance, a policy could be "vote the lurkers/inactive players" and a policy vote would thus be a vote placed on a lurker/inactive player solely due to this. I'm basically asking if you're voting him exclusively due to his lack of activity and/or timing of activity.

[PaperSpirit]

Ahh so much to read so little time.. I guess I have to replace out.

@Mod, I'll have to replace out.

Then no, it is not a policy vote.

[buldermar]

Could you elaborate on your reasons for voting ovyo? What is it that you find suspicious?

[Natural_river]

Yes, I could elaborate.

I'd say vendetta, he makes not of PaperShift's newbie status, uses that as both a reason for and against voting for him, then backs off. I'm suspicious of anyone that picks an easy target. Plus his wordiness gives me a strange vibe too.
Then again DeltaBacon wanted to kick all of our arses, not a town friendly stance. Most likely a joke. But suspicious none the less.

this post.
After voting randomly on BT, while he/she popped in later in the game and could have at least made some decision based on some reason.

I'm really not sure, but DeltaBacon and Vendetta

sound a little off to me

this doesn't sound like a good reason to suspect anyone either.

I don't have a scumread on anyone yet. My BT vote was completely random and my suspicions aren't really valid either. Bacon, I suspect you because of your first post but I guess you could've been joking...

I doubt scum would be so obvious

. Vendetta, I can't put my finger on it, but

something is just off to me.

True, but I'm a novice and more of an observer.

I'm not too sure

of myself right now so I think it's best I sit back until I get a better grasp of things.

UNVOTE: BT

Maybe he/she is not mafia, but to me it seems like ovyo is using the "im new and innocent" act to get off the suspicion list.
It might be that ovyo is a beginner, but he/she just doesn't make any clear reasons why to vote someone...maybe because there is no reason.
Because he/she is mafia.

What do you guys think about this?

[Natural_river]

Most likely a joke. But suspicious none the less.

I forgot to underline these sentences.
strange vibe? so unclear.
And then ovyo tries to push suspicion to deltabacon because of this post..

Well hey there and hello, everyone.

I'm busy at the moment reading up on how to kick all your arses at Mafia

, but whilst I'm here I'll put a vote down on BT for having the same name as a woeful Internet Provider.

When he obviously meant kicking arses of the mafia.
Pretty sad reason to point FOS.

[Natural_river]

Yes, I know ovyo didn't FOS, but implied it.

[buldermar]

I'd like to request a prod on Airick10.

I'm aware that I'm being the bad guy asking for prods all the time, but I'm dissapointed with the level of activity in this game and would rather see replacements now than later.

[buldermar]

@Natural_river

Yes, he's being very unclear, but that isn't too strange if he actually

is

new. The way he constructs his sentences reminds me of dialogues from bad movies. I think he may simply be a new player who doesn't know the terminology, wants to be a part of the game and thus tries to state reads like they do on them movies. It becomes tricky with new players because you can't expect them to think in a certain way about the game or have a specific approach to it.

ovyo, could you comment on some of this?

[izakthegoomba]

[Airick10]

Quick post - I got the prod e-mail. I am on vacation (see post 135). I'll be back tomorrow and will read up.

[Tierce]

Too many things at once, and the game with the longest deadline inevitably takes a hit, which is shameful when I'm ICing. Tomorrow without fault.

[Natural_river]

Are we all going to wait till the game unfolds itself?
Mafia will win that way, this is wasting time....
Anyone have any thoughts on my vote on ovyo?
What do you guys think?
Have any other suspicions? why?
please post...

I follow your reasoning for voting ovyo, but I don't agree with it. I'm most suspicious of vendetta21 for reasons already pointed out.

What is it specifically you want me to do? I'm not waiting for the game to unfold itself, but in order to generate useful content people must engage in conversations.

Tierce, will you consider replacing out? I request this not because of your role as the IC (although I think that too would be sufficient reason), but because you're being active in other games while deliberately neglecting this. If you were temporarily preoccupied with something else I'd look at it differently, but this seems like a more permanent issue. Initially I wanted to refrain from making this request because you're currently voting me and it could look as if that is my motive, but with the current level of activity in this game, some of the inactive players simply has to be replaced, and I'd much rather have it done now than on a later day. If you will not replace out, at least consider prioritizing this game equally to other games.

[Natural_river]

Well, I wasn't really referring to you buldermar, you're actually the most active in this game, hahaha.
But I was referring to others who are posting less.

Besides, I don't know if anybody noticed, but Paperspirit requested to be replaced... this kinda sucks cause we've been missing a player since saturday.

[izakthegoomba]

fish-riding-a-bike-2000 replaces PaperSpirit. I'll be replacing ovyo if she doesn't pick up the prod soon.

[fish-riding-a-bike-2000]

Hello everyone,
This is my first game, and gonna read all of you're history posts first before saying anything further.
So it may take a while. For the rest, I'm happy to be a part of this "investigation" heheha yea, allways wanted to say that xD
Okido!

~Fish

[fish-riding-a-bike-2000]

So far, reading half the posts, Buldermar, what's with you & you're unnecessary long words in every sentence? you're very anoying to me to be honest just reading only half the posts. doesin't make you look any smarter, just so you know. You're acting soo suspicious to everyone here, acting all as if you have something to hide. That's what it looks like to me. No offence though.
I must agree more with Natual_river here, indeed, Ovyo seems more likey to be mafia. but I'm not gonna vote for now. I stil have to read the other half of all you guys posts.
And then I'll explain my thoughts throughout this "Investigation" XD haha
