What be is RQS. Also, I heard that Mafia was played in a few days. But the format here seems it will take a couple months. So confused.

Random Voting Stage RVS
Random Question Stage RQS

Most people use either RVS or RQS or at game start to break the ice

Probably will last a month give or take

Central. So whichever that is. Usually (or at least in all the games I've played in) people start bandwagons to get pressure onto others at this point in the mafia game as nobody has made major reactions to the RVS votes.

[Rufus Delorian]

I think Kirroha and Drixx each have 3 votes on them, would they count as bandwagons?

I'm sticking with my vote, I'd expect the IC to be most experienced at finding mafia so they'd want rid of him, putting a third vote on them is the most suspicious thing I've seen (not really seen much suspicious yet)

[kirroha]

Wait, so you want the

wiser person of the group

to be lynched (In the first day)? And you seem happy about that?
That's like starting a PC/console game for the first time, select the tutorial in the main menu, and before the NPC can give you any tips, and info which might clear your doubts, you try to hit him/her in the face
You're the kind of (unstable) individual that I'll stay away whenever I can.

- guttsa

In hindsight I'm switching my vote because hey ~buddying the IC~ anyone?

VOTE: guttsa

Never sits well with me.

RVS bandwagons are the best bandwagons.

Mfw IC isn't always town

[Reubus Swagrid]

@MOD

Can we have a prod for guttsa and a VC?

[kagesong]

All these words. The heck is a bandwagon. I just voted against blue hair??

BTW Rufus, doesn't your comment imply that the IC would have to be townie??

The only way you could know that, is if your SCUM. Hence, attempting to say that you feel protected by the IC helping you find scum, in a gamble to prove that you indeed are not scum.

Vote change - VOTE: Rufus Delorian

[kagesong]

Forgive typos please, I have artritis. I know that the proper word is "you're scum" but, when in pain, I type faster than I think about grammar.

[Drixx]

A "wagon" is just shorthand for a "bandwagon". It's idiomatic speech referring to 1950s Americana. In the mafia usage it's simply used to refer to anyone who accumulates a significant number of votes. Wagons are a great way out of the Random Vote Stage (RVS) because they move the conversation away from breaking the ice and into actually playing the game.

How a player responds (or doesn't) to being wagoned early can sometimes very easily catch a scum or sort someone as likely town. If nothing else, we've finally moved on to talking about the game at hand.

As they say, gentlemen and gentlewomen (unless you're scum in which case you aren't) ... the game is afoot.

[literallypam]

VOTE: Drixx

I'm not going on much more than holy shit that wall of text.

[literallypam]

And also because it seems like everyone wants a Drixx lynch but everyone who hasn't voted is scared they'll look bad jumping on now.

VOTE: literallypam

This is RVS, nobody said they wanted a Drixx lynch. Also you're jumping on now? There is no case for Drixx being scum so jumping on this 'wagon' that has no substance would look bad, which is what you seem do be doing.

[Reubus Swagrid]

Ayo Pam, how many people constitutes everyone? 2?

Also is it your first time playing Mafia?
