Well... considering warpdragon hasn't made a post on MafiaScum in ten days, perhaps it's time to get MeMe to poke him with a very sharp stick.



That said, I'm not particularly happy with MBL's excuse. Being upset with a mod is not a reason to put further strain on a game for the rest of the players involved. I find that to be a bit ridiculous... selfish and immature if true, and horribly underhanded if being used as a coverup. Please contribute, MBL.

I'm using whatever leverage I can to help the players in my game. There are 7 of them in addition to warpdragon, and the replacement issue has been devastating their game since it started in September. So I'll bear your sticks and stones if it gets them what they deserve.

Oh please, you're not a martyr here, despite the fact that you may have a noble goal in mind.
You
screwed this up. You either play a game because you want to, or you don't play it all. You don't make conditional deals on playing and then use your silence as leverage to get what you want. If there were a ten commandments of playing mafia, you'd have broken at least a couple.

No, I'm not a martyr, I'm just making sure that warpdragon has pressure applied. One of the weaknesses of this site is that we don't have an effective way to discourage the kind of irresponsible behavior he's exhibiting, and I'm trying to create that pressure. I've also tried to create that pressure by promoting an enforced replacements list for people who bail on games, and I think the same should apply to mods who disappear without notice.

disclaimer: warpdragon, if you had a kidney stolen or something, feel free to tell me to stfu

Believe me, I've paid attention to this game, particularly your FOS of Glork which seems to show either a lack of attention to detail or the more sinister alternative. I agreed to play because of the quality of the roster, but that doesn't mean I have to play by any particular set of rules.

I just did contribute something, did you read my post carefully like you should as the good little townie you are?

And I hardly think the rational argument I posited in my previous post amounts to a temper tantrum.

Woo, so you made a side comment on Cam's FoS of me. I guess that's a start. Baby steps, eh?

DeanW was obv scum, JDodge looks scummish, Thok looks Dodgy.

I won't elaborate on why Glork is town, cause I don't want to see him killed.

Thanks for posting, MBL. No need to be overly antagonistic, Glork -- MBL's now posted than half the other people in this in game in recent memory. Maybe we should try and rustle up a replacement mod.

I have an embarrassing confession to make -- I'm going away for a month, with probably very limited internet access, and I didn't even think of mentioning it here until just now. I doubt warpdragon will get this for a couple of days anyway, so probably your best strategy for me is to wait and see if I post in the next couple of days, and if not, to replace me.

Apologies to the rest of the players for this oversight.

So we need (probably) a Mod replacement, an AndrewS replacement, maybe a Cam replacement... How many of the original players are left? This game is getting incredibly convoluted.

I'd rather abandon the game then get a replacement mod, given that M4yhem and AndrewS both still need replacing and I find it likely that any replacement mod would need to see all role PM's in the game.

(That said, I'd rather get warpdragon back here and modding then do either of the above.)
I replaced into Chess Mafia for 6 months, and all I got was a win and this lousy sig.

Sadly, I have to agree with Thok here... a replacement mod won't do us any good if they can't get access to all of the role PMs.

I asked MeMe to prod Warp on May 16 when I first noticed he'd gone missing, and she said she would. I suppose at this point it's a race to see who shows up first... MeMe to cancel the game, or Warp to hopefully get it back on track. :?

warp still hasn't picked up the prod -- I've also sent him an email. If he's not back within 48 hours, I'll call it.

Well, that's that.

I was a Traitor (Evil Princess Sara). AndrewS was the GF, and MBL was the other scumbag. I didn't know of the existence of the Spy, and I'm guessing that none of the others did either. I'm also guessing that the Spy didn't know about me. Intersetingly enough, if I were targeted by the scums, I would've died instead of being recruited into the mafia (which I think was a balancing mechanism for there being 2 scums and 2 traitorlike roles in the game).

I figured I had one of Cavane/Cam/Sarc lynched today, while possibly nailing a second one the following day... which, I believe, would have sealed the deal. Oh wells.

Fun with nightchoices (and another reason I didn't want to force a replacement mod to deal with stuff).

Red Mage
The best way to defeat Pride is by giving yourself +2000 humble. Each night you can message me with a stat you wish to improve (make it up and be creative) and I will tell you what ability you can use the next night. When you use an ability I give you, you can still send in another stat to improve for the following night. You like to think of yourself as a master of all trades, but you aren't as reliable as you think. You cannot pick the same stat twice to improve. You win with the town.
Thok wrote:/confirm. Don't worry, I'll be nice to the mod (rule 10).

Obviously, my fellow players have interesting and useful powers. So I'll give myself +30 levels in Mime to try to copy them.

warpdragon wrote:"Evil" Princess Sara
You are a mafia spy. Everyone thinks you are just a regular princess, but at heart you are evil. Your godfather is White Mage (AndrewS) and her goon is Garland (The Central Scrutinizer). You cannot talk to them and they do not know who you are, although they do know you exist. You try to protect them and hurt the town via the lynch. You win when the town can no longer win.

As the proprietor of stores such as “Akbar's Discount True Guardian Outlet (not pathetic creatures)” and “Akbar's Airships (not deathtraps)” you have a knack for turning a profit using whatever means necessary. At night, you may target somebody with an Invisibility Cloak (not homing beacon). You will find out who they target that night. You win with the town.
Night 1, I tracked Thok, on the theory that if he did anything I'd know he had been lying, and found out that he didn't leave his house.

Through contracts with the dark gods, you have been gifted with the hadoken, a powerful magic attack useful not only as a weapon, but as a propulsion system as well. However, you are terribly inaccurate and couldn't hit a mountain even if you tried, so must fire it during the day. Sometime during each day, send me the name of a player you would like to have killed after the lynch. Due to the fact that hadoken siphons love straight out of the universe and twists it into highly destructive ends, you appear to be evil when investigated. You win with the town.
