Normally it is best to lynch the inactives in my games, as I cannot always guarantee replacements.
on top of that are inactives sometimes just mafia that's scared of posting because they might actually accidently make a wrong post or make a post that might get someone's attention.
Not to mention if you lynch a non acitve and they are vanilla, you lose 2 town roles (1 at night) and start d2 down 2. Seems odd to me.

Whoa, whoa! Settle down, folks! Sully's been away from his computer for a few days is all. I've got a fair few things I still need to catch up on, but I don't suspect I'll be returning anytime late.

Re: Stool Pigeon Mafia - Day 1 Begins! 2 Replacements Needed
yay! Sully's back! hurrah!
I find his pop in and out scummy because he seems to be excusing his submarining, but I think he's really just busy IRL and needs a break. He's usually quite active.

lol... Sully has definitely been busy... we had a really long night in the mafia games that he's hosting for the mods... went way longer than it should have... his posts there matches the timing in the posts here I believe so i'd say its safe to accept busy in rl for the long time between posts. I'm still trying to figure out some of the studf from a few pages back... have to make some time for a solid read I guess

Is the speed of the mafia games in CC always like this ?
Seems a little slow to me.
Reading back, I think hippo is trying to hard to paint others as scummy, so
unvote vote hippo

Sorry terra, just trying to find something useful to grasp onto. In a way you are right though, the point of the game is to find the scum. There are now three players in my sights, Jens, Sully and now you. I still say let's remove Jens as that will both help the town and I believe help unravel the mathematical puzzle posed by edoc. FOS terra.

uh... I still want a claim from Hippo, but terrafutan that vote seemed very BandWagon. You didn't really support your case much. It was a nice try tho, but you seem scummy by the fact your post doesn't contain much contain on why or how he did, or why "painting others as scummy" is a scummy thing to do. FOS terrafutan.

I am going to go out on a limb here and FOS eldario, chap, shield, terrafutan also as being scummy (they have no reason to pick on me but seem to me to be birds of a feather) - I think pancake, conozo, edoc are town but attacking Zimmah weirdly who I think is also town. So that leaves you sg7, I think your town also but all this fence sitting is becoming odd. Make a decision and vote! I am undecided on alliegences of Jens and Sully but I reckon we should remove Jens because I am convinced that submarining is scummy and ultimately not in our interests.
Re: Stool Pigeon Mafia - Day 1 Begins! 2 Replacements Needed
Oh my goodness! Are you really gonna FOS me? I would have never guessed that. Since you did the same thing to zimmah when he went after you. And the same thing to terrafutan when he voted a few posts ago. That's all you have been doing is a bunch of OMGUS FOS. You have done nothing that is not scummy.

Re: Stool Pigeon Mafia - Day 1 Begins! 2 Replacements Needed
I don't really buy your claim as a Vanilla hippo. You guys need to do better looking because it was LSU tigers mathematical puzzle, edoc just put it into an actual format where he went through and found all the possible numbers for a solution (and factored out the repeats).thehippo8 wrote:Hi again sg7 ...

Yes Jen is dead weight right now hippo, but he hasn't poked his head in at all, not even to confirm, so him being scum seems pretty low on my part, I just beileve he is extremely busy and hasn't had time to play mafia right now. So finding a replacement would be better action right now I think.

Re: Stool Pigeon Mafia - Day 1 Begins! 2 Replacements Needed
Interesting take on it Chap. You may need to read the posts a bit more closely. I was the first to work out that the mathematical puzzle was very complex and posted a general stab at the combinations. I am pleased that I have rattled your cage but it's all very good pointing the blame away from yourself. I have genuienly declared, rather than attack me perhaps you would be so kind as to declare also.chapcrap wrote:Oh my goodness! Are you really gonna FOS me? I would have never guessed that.

Re: Stool Pigeon Mafia - Day 1 Begins! 2 Replacements Needed
You are right, edoc is one smart cookie setting out the full combinations. That's why I believe edoc is a townie like me. Vio has explained why she doesn't like to replace Jens so that leaves it for us to make a call on that. I see no reason to suggest that Jens is just busy - we are all busy. Unless there is a better candidate then Jens should go now.skillfusniper33 wrote:I don't really buy your claim as a Vanilla hippo.

Re: Stool Pigeon Mafia - Day 1 Begins! 2 Replacements Needed
What do you mean by declare Hippo? Do you really want people to roleclaim? I thought we had been through all this.

Re: Stool Pigeon Mafia - Day 1 Begins! 2 Replacements Needed
Incidentally, there are a number of other players which are also keeping their head down! It's good that we have got the forum going again, would be nice if the others joined in. Dazza ... what's up?
Re: Stool Pigeon Mafia - Day 1 Begins! 2 Replacements Needed
Actually ... I agree Dazza ... in this game all you can do is say whether you are townie or scum. I would prefer it if we could focus on something useful. The puzzle is great but we need to remove people to make it useful. There are so few people coming up with theories. I am just trying to get the discussion going! Maybe that strategy is wrong but I tried being silent for a few days and absolutely nothing happened ... lol. Any suggestions Dazza?dazza2008 wrote:What do you mean by declare Hippo?

it's not wrong and i beleive you for now. it's dangerous though, because the one that brings up too much discussion often gets a lot of attention. and that can be a bad thing.thehippo8 wrote:Actually ...

it's quite hard because there's indeed nothing to claim other then vanilla or scum. and even when someone died there's not much information revealed. we need to make some really good decisions based on players actions i think. does anyone here have experience with this type of mafia?
