I've read Mephansteras saying before that he would manually change up roles if it made the game better, that's where I based my thoughts on webadict.

That's usually for role balance in Paranormal, and has more to do with roles and less to do with the people. (No Agent Seeker with an Agent, for example). And I do that less now that my script has gotten smarter.

In any case, never base your voting logic on what you think I might have done. Most of the time, I just let my scripts run and take the results. Which is what I did here, so you shouldn't be so quick to rule out webadict as scum. It's all up to the RNG. :)

Scratch that, Unvote. Vector hasn't been on in 3 days and i'd like a response sooner rather then later. Next on the list is Free Beer who also hasn't been on in 3 days. Next is webadict and I don't think Meph would make the experienced person here a mafia so back to the top of the list with Jim Groovester. What's your story?
You can NEVER exempt anyone from Mafia, unless there's a 100% chance that it's impossible. As the case may be, it is certainly possible for me to be scum, and you can't stop suspecting me. As Sherlock Holmes would say, "Improbable does not mean impossible."

And what's with these people not being on? They haven't been on in 3 days, and I highly doubt they'll be back afterward.

But, I'd rather question Org. Tell me Org, what color comes to mind first?

I'll give you that, just a little misunderstanding with what Meph meant in a post from before. I haven't ruled you out but there are other reasons to not to ask you questions this early. For one beginners would be easier to read.

I'm worried about Vector, not only has he not been on in 3 days but in the months that he has been a member of this forum he only has 3 posts.

Rule 1 of a mafia game: NEVER outguess the Mod. 

I tried that a long time ago in a set of games where everyone had a power role and someone claimed Timmie the Townie.  Turned out the mod slipped in that exact role. 

As such, I'll maintain a Fos of webadict if only because when I read through the Para matches I ALWAYS get worried when he gets active.  Besides, what else do I have to go on ;P

As for the vote, I was about to vote Org but web beat me to it.  A few others havn't been around a few days and it might be best to get the active folks talking first.  As such I'll start on eduren

Ah, right, I forgot that there are variants of mafia that start at night. Yes, we start at day 1 with a lynch, rather then at night. Mostly because I think it's lame that a player can be killed before ever getting to do anything. At least this way the town gets information based on voting patterns and everyone gets to at least play the first round.

I promise I'm actually here and not dead.  I'm just a heavy-duty lurker.

Anyway, I do not actually know how this first-day business actually works.  It appears that we're asking each other random questions... ?  Is there any particular process one uses to determine proper vs. improper questions?

Additionally, I'm confused about why someone would ask my what my story is, given that in the game there is no story to give.  Would the answer not always be some permutation of "I am just a simple townsperson, trying not to get killed by the Mafia"?

Honestly, I'm quite confused.  Thanks for the help, and sorry for the wandering all over the place.

Hey, Web, Alexhans, Josh, do you like my idea of us making day-by-day statements to release at the end of the game?
Yeah, that's a good idea. But, like Alex said, there should be two ICs in a small game. Eh?

At the time the above quoted post was made, Meph had clearly indicated that he was closing signups and that the game would begin after the weekend.

The fact that you are given a special status as a coach opens the potential for abuse of that status, and the post in question opens the possibility that you are aware of and intend to exploit that fact.

So, webadict, would you care to explain yourself? Why were you so eager to get in, that you would attempt to persuade the GM even after he has ruled?

Vote BloodBeard.

You don't like me do you?

That's for Rysith not beating Fireheart isn't it?  ;D

I can forgive Toony because he is a hyper little...something, but eduren's lynch with no added comments look a little bandwagony to me. I request a more detailed explanation please.

Vector: Right now it's the only thing we can do. Depending on how you answer questions you might reveal more then you intended.
