Mini 1404 - Monopoly Mafia - Game Over

[Mogadishu Jones]

Announcing L-1 doesnt negate the risk of a speed hammer. Why not just play it safe?

[Lurker]

Ok, I see I am Near being lynched, L-1, nearly at the end of my rope and the like.

I am A vanilla townie.

I have A Railroad Card, But It Doesn't do anything yet.

Does anyone else have a railroad card?

[Mehdi2277]

How many cards do you have?

[Lurker]

How many cards do you have?

2. My second Card is a bit powerful. It's the electric company.

My railroad is B & O.

[Robert2424]

dang I want the railroads.....my theoy is holding for now.

[Robert2424]

also a bit surprised that a speed hammer hasn't happened yet. I was suspectng it if I placed my vote on lurker.

[Mehdi2277]

Since speed hammers are more of a myth then anything else. That and I still think his reaction which is actually respond timely is fine and looks town.

Why play it safe? Why bend over backwards for other people's carelessness, for that matter?

[Robert2424]

I'm not sure how to feel about Jones. What is everyboys thoughts on him

[Mehdi2277]

Town. Looking at past posts for my opinions on people works well if I've commented on them before.

[Robert2424]

I feel up in the air with him right now.

[StrangerCoug]

Ditto here. Jones can go either way. He comes off as trying to adjust from one way of playing Mafia to another, though.

[Lord Mhork]

UNVOTE: Mhork VOTE: Xis I'm not going in detail unless someone wants me to but I like his last two posts as he's been pushed more. My opinion Xis hasn't changed so it's mainly unvote someone he wanted to pressure to vote lurker when it didn't seem like he found him scummy (and if it was to pressure why unvote the guy you're trying to pressure to vote someone else for pressure reasons).

Mog probably still thinks lurker is a better lynch and having multiple scum reads that deserve votes isn't a scum tell.

I don't believe that. If he were to think lurker is the better lynch, he'd have asked for more pressure on lurker. Asking for votes on me without doing it himself is noncommittal and very sketchy. I don't like it.

@lurker:
I politely disagree. Scum would have to have half a brain to try and quicklynch. Hammers and mislynches happen regardless of sheeping or not, and my vote is my reasoning that I happen to agree with. It's not like I stole the rationale, I just agree with it.

@StrangerCoug:
Thanks for the vote, I guess, but that jump makes me nervous... Also that was my rationale for Moga... Are you sheeping for the sake of sheeping, or do you have any original thoughts?

It's just... really hard for me to get my head into this, and I concede that.

Also, this post is really, really ugly. I don't like it.

How many cards do you have?

2. My second Card is a bit powerful. It's the electric company.

My railroad is B & O.

See the claim was meh for me, but I really, really do not like the fact that only claimed to have the Railroad then mentioned the electric company. Also he claimed VT yet says his electric company is powerful. What does this even? I'm not sold on an unvote.

I'm not sure how to feel about Jones. What is everyboys thoughts on him

Sketchy. Prolly town, but in no way cleared.

[Robert2424]

Technically I have a weirder situation with mine that makes zero sense due to card power. This is why my theory is holding.

[Xisiqomelir]

Back. Here are (I think) the only questions directly put to me:

@Mehdi

:

Xis so do you agree with SC that I'm normally serious or do you agree with his earlier I'm being too serious?

"Sort of see where you're coming from" is more precisely "I notice you have these perceptions, and a cursory evaluation of the early stages of each game tends to lead to agreement". I asked him my question to see whether his basis was sound. He admits that modding someone is not as instructive as playing with them, and unvoted you.

And if you want participation with the Lord vote why unvote him before he appears?

I think you read #96 too narrowly.

I like to encourage participation in the game, I think it makes it more enjoyable for everyone.

I'm curious as to where this Lurker wagon will take us. In fact, I'm willing to help it along.

Participation in the game is not exclusive to Mhork.

I felt that there'd be more participation in the game with a strong early wagon, and judging by the fact that the page-count doubled during my mini-VLA, I'm sure I was right.

And a question put generally:

@Bobby24^2

:

I like #191. It's tonally anti-scum, since it's rare scum who relish antagonizing people. I also like #203's reasoning, particularly the "town would have no need of explaining that" point.

@Baby Spice

:

Firstly, 72% of the first wagon to get to four votes in a game has scum on it. (Using the vote count posts to determine when that four votes occurred)

Is this meant to be a serious statistic? If yes (which can be inferred from #148), is it based only on minis, or is your sample size very large?

@Jake from State Farm

:

Sup

Jake I would like for you to be town this game (again) just like [ongoing] so we can rock the scumtastic (again). How much longer for you to be fully caught up?

@Lurker

:

I have A Railroad Card, But It Doesn't do anything yet.

Does anyone else have a railroad card?

Bolded is not a reason to stop a lynch. Pro-town content would be. Can you tell me more about:

1) Your Mhork vote.
2) The relative towniness/scumminess of the lead wagons?

[Robert2424]

Please don't call me bobby. My name is Robert.....

[Agent_Ireland]

ok, I'm caught up, but there is a lot that has happened, so I'm not going to post a bunch of responses that happened on things from 5 pages ago. Any questions, feel free to ask me.

As for my vote on Lurker, I'm going to keep it here for now.

Does anyone object to asking what this electric company card does? Claiming VT doesn't save you from a lynch, but saying you have a power can save you, this could just be a bluff.

[Mehdi2277]

Unless you're cards work differently mine didn't give me a power for each separate card just one power together.

[Robert2424]

I think Card power changes. When I don't know, but it seems odd as it says, "For Now".

[Mehdi2277]

Having more cards would likely change powers. I doubt we won't get new cards as the game goes on.

[Robert2424]

Well, what will happens to the cards to say if somebody is NKed or lynched? It is Monopoly themed after all.

[Mehdi2277]

I'm guessing cards of people who die will end up back in the living hands. For now don't worry on it too much.

[Jake from State Farm]

I'm caught up enough X, now my wife got her laptop back I can use mine again. And I wish we could talk about that one, so much to say.

From now on, Robert is known to me as bobby, I prefer bobby.

As for Lurker, I actually beleive his claim but that's cause I too have a railroad card, not that it means anything in reality.

I'm good with people joining me on a stranger wagon, I just looked up opportunistic voter in the dictionary and it literally showed stranger's name/avatar

[Jake from State Farm]

mod, can we pass cards to people?

[Agent_Ireland]

I would imagine the cards for whoever dies would go to whoever hammers/kills that person. Monopoly is played based off of everyone attacking each other, but the one who deals the final blow gets everything that person had.
