@Vector: You seem to have quite a bit of experience in mafia(judging by your post and the fact that a few people seemed to know you), why are you playing in a beginners game?
As for your observations on me, this is my second game of mafia and my first one was the previous beginner's game so I'd hardly say I have experience.
Yup, I have quite a bit of experience. I also haven't played a single game for perhaps four or five months (during which time I pretty much rebuilt my brain [long story]), so I joined a newbie game. I'm also trying to rework my playstyle and figure out how my insight fares post-rebuild.
By "you have experience," I meant that you're not a complete newbie. So in this case, I suppose I was right.
Vector; So, you managed to get 'bad learner', 'inactive', 'will need replacing', 'arrogant', 'naive' and 'refuses advice' from Magwebster's two short posts? And then you bandwagoned him..?
I'll vote to even the scores a little, although if you were actually scum you'd probably be less obvious about it.
Yes, I did. Someone asked me a question ("what do you think of the other players," in essence), so I answered. There's no point in lying about perceived flaws, and there's no point in shying away from the second vote on the person you want answers from.
shibdib, have you ever played mafia before? If so have you ever played with any of the people in the current roster?
Mafiwat? Is that like guns, just with suits?
Toaster ... mmmm toast
Also, do I
look wrong about this guy?
Vector: Bandages asked who you would off as mafia, but the way you described everyone, it seemed to be more like you were listing dangers to the town. Which is it?
Oh, sorry. That was just a generic character read, and the actual results were below that. Dangers to the town = bonuses to the scum, and vice-versa.
Also, people tend to be more active when they've just been insulted. A lot of the games here have been dying, and I'd really rather not have to watch the subforum go down in flames. The hope is that an active and engaging beginner's game will lead to more activity in other games. I miss the days when we had 8 extremely active games running at the same time.
Even though you don't think he's scummy, you voted him to tie the vote count? That's not a town friendly move. If you don't think he's scum, why aren't you moving on to the next target?
Also, I am female.
I said it was obviously scummy. Don't you find Vector's random character assassination and attempt to start a bandwagon scummy?
Overreaction noted.
