Infection: The Flood are here (2/9) INFECTION WINS!

[crazymilkshake5]

Maybe this is like a "bite them one night, they die the next" kinda thing? or like a cult type thing?

maybe... they did say they were sending in strike teams. but i think from the flavor that they missed. this grunt is not really a grunt because it ran. its some sort of human?

he said the Grunt was running from something bigger, also, whos mark? because he is now in trouble.

[soundman]

I'm guessing since the grunt ran away and they lost it that means someone missed last night. But then who knows, this is suppose to be a game to test new roles.

dude, this is day 2. the joke votes were this time yesterday. now im not sure why you voted me... but if you are aware that the joke-votes were yesterday, then i will be trying to build a case on you. just so you know.

I disagree. We have no more information than we did then, and we won't unless someone dies. We can either sit on our hands again and let the mafia choose who to kill or we can lynch and as we have no information apart from the scene, I'd suggest a random lynch is the best course. This is confounded by the strict deadline, as it doesn't give us much time to extrapolate information from nothing. Have you got any better ideas or do you wish to continue to stall?

+1. Thank you. There is really no information available, and none will be until someone dies.

actually i think information is available.
i have not played halo (blasphemy ) but from what i read on wiki, apparently the covenant is an alien alliance.
so i'm assuming people on the spaceship are town while the covenant are mafia.
from reading the scene i understand the covenant isn't still in play.
so i'm thinking that the aliens (mafia) are those that haven't posted yet.
i'm gonna check now to see whoever didn't post.

[QoH]

Wait, the scenes are filled with info? Well that's a load of help since I never played Halo either.

And fyi, this is my first non standard mafia.

[crazymilkshake5]

Yes, the covenant is an alien race, and typically mafia, but this is "infection" indicating that there are Flood in this game. (Flood is another alien race that is basically a parasite that basically makes the person like a zombie.) so weather or not there are covenant in this game, who knows, but i would go and say... damn. i forgot,

I think i was going to say there are Flood in this game, but i already said that....

You are correct Dim a lot of the time scum will try to submarine in a game,to keep from making a possible mistake in a post that will come back to bite them later.

So yes submarining is a possible scum tell. And that were I got my info on was wiki,about 2 months ago when jak set up the halo mafia game that is still in sign ups

Fast posted by crazy with more info

[DiM]

upon checking i realised that everybody posted so my theory is shot down.

at some point i realised soundman has these weird quotes in all his posts so i thought maybe his role says he's an alien and he must include weird quotes in all posts and i thought i was onto something. but in this last page his post has no quotes so this theory also fails.

At least you are trying,and your active,nice to see from a new player

[QoH]

I'm a little lost here. If I needed to know about Halo to play this I probably wouldn't have joined. Someone should double check out CM5's info though... don't want a potential mafia feeding us false info :/

Flood aren't much for latency, though. The infections are almost immediate (and violent as a rule). That makes me wonder what exactly we are dealing with (though a name like "Infection" doesn't leave a lot of room for itself...)

Vodean, chill. You made an obvious comment and got one vote for it. Plus, I though it was funny.

i just checked on wiki and it appears CM5's info is ok.
i don't think a mafia would feed bad info if that info is easy to check.

also i don't think halo experience is needed but it certainly adds to the flavour.

the flood


also i'd like clarification from jak111. are we supposed to read into the scenes? do we have clues there or is this just for flavour?
in my first (and only) completed game, victor sullivan was the mod and all the scenes contained lots of clues. methods of killing, the existence of a SK, the number of mafia people, the time when certain people come into play, etc.
is it the same here?

I cannot clarify much, only that the scenes are coming together like a story. Read the first scene of D1. All of it is like that, a story.

The reason why I cannot clarify you anymore is because this speculation adds WIFOM to the game (Which is ALWAYS fun ).

i thought it was funny too... its just that im not sure whether QoH was kidding with his vote, or what... i was pretty much just asking.

[soundman]

Well we have very little time. Should we just start where we left off yesterday and get a claim from Vodean? Without a lot of time we pretty much have to go random for the first few times. Unless someone makes an obvious slip.

Yes, lets get a claim from vodean. What else is there to do?

[jgordon1111]

unvote vote vodean yes someone needs to claim otherwise we go into tomorrow with the same info we already have.

With 9 alive, it takes 5 to lynch!

5 hours and 50 mins remain.

first few times? i think at the worst case scenario only the first lynch should be random. if you do 3-4 lynches at random in a 9player game the town is pretty much dead (unless you get really lucky and hit mafia). but if you kill 3-4 townies out of the 6 you have at the start then it's over.


anyway i agree a claim from vodean is probably our best bet at this point.
i've got nothing pointing him as a mafia but he could have made a claim yesterday and yet he didn't. i won't cast a vote ... yet but if he still doesn't come with something i will.

DIM,no one voluntarily claims,that is why votes are put on them,to pressure a claim. Most players claim at L2 or L1, if their claim is legit then everyone usually moves on to someone else.

Here is the tricky part A) someone will point a finger at a player who voted or B) a player who didnt vote and accuse them of BW or submarining,therefore scummy play.

The best offense is a good defense, If you are town a good rule of thumb is Never lie.

Its actually quite fun from that point on. Who is scum, who isnt, and why.

[DiM]

oh well, then i guess it's vote vodean.
that should put him at L-2 thus forcing a claim, right?

[vodean]

hmmm.. im not sure how much longer i will be up, so i will just claim. im james w something or other, VT... hold on. James Wiedfield, town VT. ive never heard of him, but i dont play much Halo. unless i have heard of him... but i dont remember him.

I hadnt heard of him either,so I wiki'ed halo james wiedfield and all versions of james in halo,he didnt come up in any version or near the spelling you gave. And that spells trouble for you most likely.

Putting someone at L-2 doesnt mean that they MUST claim, thats just the normal for claiming. Also, WHOS MIKE??? this we need to know, could be crucial to the game, seeing as how he looks as if he was the one infected last night.

If you dont know your name, i suggest you go look at your role PM, mine is Elizabeth Holland.
