Angrist, you can't communicate with Ric (a dead player) according to the Rules Thread:

You may not communicate regarding the game with someone who is dead, nor may dead players communicate about the game with active players.

Re: GT Starwars mafia, better than TV
 
Ehm apparently my weird sense of humor is incomprehensible. Ric never told me he was mafia.
Hm I had a short chat with BaB after he died... I said 'bastard!' So that wasn't allowed either... Sorry for that. I didn't get any smarter though.

If both active and dead players are allowed to post here, isn't that communicating? Slippery slope...

Anyway, I don't care that much, but I'm just saying.

If you want to make a snarky point, start thinking first.

Yes, it's communicating. Communicating in this thread is fine. As we are doing right now. I am communicating to you. You are going to communicate back. Communicating about game specifics and your theories/hunches is not, if you were in the game and have been killed - as you would still be able to influence the game.

The reason people who haven't been in the game can talk about it, is because they didn't build up networks of trust and alliances within the game, so their suspicious probably won't go anywhere. However if you're in the game and were in an alliance with person B, C and E, and say that person A and D are together, the 3 people you were with will more likely believe you.

Re: GT Starwars mafia, better than TV
 
Ok there's half an hour left before the game ends. No activity for quite a while and everyone has cast their votes. They currently stand at -

thatmariolover - 5
tornadothrasher - 2
Dylflon - 2
BlueFire - 1
Teuthida - 1
Bube - 1

Will we see any action in the closing 30 mins? I am watching to find out at least.

Looks like TML's not going to present his case further. I think we know who our next village death will be. The only question now is, who will the mafia kill?

This was a rather lackluster conclusion after yesterday's nail biter.

Sorry for ruining the game by convincing everyone to kill off the entertainment.

TML and Vampyr had a good volley going on for a bit, but then TML just gave up. Must have been feeling outnumbered.

I've never lied a day in my life.

I believed each and every one of you. :p

And had an idea for next Mafia, we should do a Left 4 Dead themed one. :D

I am not sure what the theme was in previous Mafia but the idea I had for a new mafia would be a 'Bond' themed one. I know you yourself are a fan, I imagine the depth of different characters the world of 007 has to offer would be enough to make up a good team.

It's Bond's fault I thought of that :lol:

Typhoid 06-17-2009 11:41 PM

Re: GT Starwars mafia, better than TV
 
Well, the mafia successfully killed off the 3 specials in 4 rounds.
That's....strange.

Ric 06-18-2009 06:08 PM

Re: GT Starwars mafia, better than TV
 
Just under 3 hours to go in tonights round now. I make the vote -

BlueFire - 3
tornadothrasher - 3
Nighthawk - 1
Swan - 1

With 2 left to vote the game is still on. What will happen.
I am gonna watch a film then come back and find out ;)


EDIT:

BlueFire - 3
tornadothrasher - 3
Nighthawk - 1
Swan - 2

Teuthida - Boba Fett - Has yet to vote.

Ric 06-18-2009 07:28 PM

Re: GT Starwars mafia, better than TV
 
And the vote's are all in -


BLueFire - 3
tornadothrasher - 3
Swan - 3
Nighthawk - 1


That's an interesting one.

So tell us Bond, do you have a three sided coin? :lol:

Still an a hour and a half left though, it's by no means the end yet.

BreakABone 06-18-2009 07:55 PM

Re: GT Starwars mafia, better than TV
 
Curious what happens in the case of a 3-way tie, don't think ever seen that in Mafia history.

And does anyone else think Swan sounds like a Bond villain?

Wait where are you getting the vote for Nighthawk?
Only saw Vamp vote for him and then he retracted.

What the hell is with the math in Mafia, somehow Bluefire accounts for 12 votes while there is only 10 people left in the game.
Ric's get himself a vote for Nighthawk I don't see.

So confused.

OKay this is what I have
Bluefire- 4
Swan-4
TornadoThraser-2

That adds up to 10, and as accurate as I get.

Ric 06-18-2009 08:22 PM

Re: GT Starwars mafia, better than TV
 
Ok yeah, I see the mistake. As of Swan going insane the vote stands at -


Swan - 4
BLueFire - 3
tornadothrasher - 3


The mistake was that I copied Bond's count which did not account for the vote for Nighthawk being retracted.

BreakABone 06-18-2009 08:26 PM

Re: GT Starwars mafia, better than TV
 
I think Swan has gone off the edge.. or he misses the days of intrigue.

Swan killed himself that last round. Not a good defense.

Actually it was the best defense.

Why would someone in the mafia bring that much attention to themselves?

I think we're starting to suffer from Mafia fatigue.

Fatalist mentality?

Swan 06-18-2009 10:59 PM

Re: GT Starwars mafia, better than TV
 
I could almost see that working early on in the game to take attention off another mafia member.




But when there are only two left that would be a terrible strategy. I had hoped you guys would realize that and go for someone else

Here was my thought process when reading those posts:

*Why would he do that?

*Maybe he's giving up.

*Could be he thinks this is so over-the-top that we will know it's a joke.

*Nah. That could work both ways and I already suspected him in previous rounds. Vote.

I thought it was the most convincing surrender yet.

He did it with such flair and style.

Though I knew he snapped.

Sadly, seems like I'm the only one who is getting screwed over by last minute vote changes. :mad:

It finishes in 18 mins, has been one of the more.. hmm non-reactionary rounds.

Eh, less members of the game, the less commentary...

And I was right again, sweet.

It's only because you are Yoda. You are getting some kind of 'force' effecting your judgement :lol:
I have been right about 2 now. I think I know the last one but can not say anything of course.

Vampyr 06-19-2009 09:30 PM

Re: GT Starwars mafia, better than TV
 
My comment earlier in the game that it felt like some of the mafia "wasn't playing" turned out to be correct...

Probably would have been a more interesting last two rounds if someone tried something, but neither of the mafia people really tried to save tornado.

I made a random vote, and no one really did anything to encourage something other than that.

BreakABone 06-19-2009 09:46 PM

Re: GT Starwars mafia, better than TV
 
This is I believe the longest running Mafia ever... forgot how long the Space Madness one went, but think most people want to forget that.

Angrist 06-20-2009 11:55 AM

Re: GT Starwars mafia, better than TV
 
It's kind of sad that the ending of some games are becoming boring.
Now we have 6 members, including 1 mafiosi.

Ric 06-20-2009 10:07 PM

Re: GT Starwars mafia, better than TV
 
Well there we have it, two more goodies exterminated. Now for the final round. If the goodies find the last mafia they win. If they dont, two goodies die leaving the game at a tie, 1 goodie and 1 baddie. I still think I know who the last mafia is too. I for one will be around to see how this developes tomorrow.

Actually, if two more villagers get voted off, the mafia win. They get their kill before the village, so they would win in a 1 on 1 match.

Let's be honest here, I'm full of myself.

But I shall point out that all of the threads leading up to my elimination increased in post total with my elimination thread being the most active to date, and since then has declined sharply.

Not gonna take credit.. well yeah i will. :lolz:

Infection Mafia??? I missed previous Mafia games, please elaborate :D

Angrist 06-21-2009 03:09 PM

Re: GT Starwars mafia, better than TV
 
It's a mafia game where you don't get killed by the mafia, but infected/converted.
Although there may be a limit in how many they can infect. After that it would be kill-only.

The first mafia game we did here on Dylflon was an infection one. The Thing themed, with a great narrative.
You can find the threads on this page: http://www.gametavern.net/forums/sea...5&pp=25&page=3
You should read Dylflon's narration, I think they were pretty good. I also did a diary from my character, which turned out pretty ok as well. Edit: here's mine. It's not much fun when you weren't in the game though. http://www.gametavern.net/forums/showthread.php?t=17384

Re: GT Starwars mafia, better than TV
 
The first link doesn't work Angrist.

I did indeed find the mafia game entertaining, and depending on whether or not i'm busy when the next game is played, i would like to take part. I can understand the vigilante being quiet, but i would have loved to have seen more kills. If Jeepnut had been the vigilante, it would have been interesting, though the game might have finished sooner.

In the infection game, i take it the game starts off with just one player being the thing. Though i haven't played in either of these games, the mafia by concept seems more fun because you can build narratives of individual players from the very start when attempting to deduce whether there mafia or not. Either way i would like to take part.

Breakabone suggested a Left 4 Dead theme in the next mafia, i personally have not played Left 4 Dead and think we would be better off sticking to older and more widely known film franchises. Ric's Bond suggestion isn't a bad idea, there are enough Bond characters, though if you were trying to do a list of good guys, i don't think everyone would recognise them. Starwars does seem the best fit. You could always open it up for popular Sci-Fi characters in general.

Angrist 06-22-2009 06:07 AM

Re: GT Starwars mafia, better than TV
 
I thought this time the theme didn't have a big role. I didn't feel like I was Han Solo or anything... And I didn't really bother seeing what the others were.

Left4Dead is basically based on all previous zombie movies. There's not much to understand about the game either... Just that there are survivors and a lot of zombies.
Hey, this would be a nice twist: innocent people are zombies, while the mafia consists of the living survivors. :D

Edit: for the upper link, just search the Happy Hour for 'mafia'. The threads will be on the 3rd page.
