Group 1: Board 8 User Mafia Topic 1: Of Mice and Men

It was a peaceful day in the e-land of Board 8... or was it? Welcome to Board 8 Mafia, where everybody has been given out roles roughly corresponding to various Board 8 users. Odds are if you're here you want your 2 points, so here is a quick summary of the rules to follow: - You must make a minimum of 2 substantial posts per game day. That's the big one. Obviously I'd prefer it if you did more. - No game discussion outside this thread (unless your role specifically allows it). This is also a biggie. - No posts discussing the game after I say stop talking. You can bump the topic and make contentless posts, but that’s it. - If you’re dead or spectating, no posts with content. - Don’t directly quote your role/conversations with me. Paraphrasing is fine. - No cheating or trying to break the game. - Play to win, please. You can play poorly – and that’s to be expected to a certain degree – but don’t give up. That will get you replaced and you won’t get your precious 2 points. - You don’t need to be “in character” or anything. Just post how you’d normally post. How to play: - Town wins when all non-town players are killed. - Scum wins when all non-scum players are killed (or when that outcome is inevitable). - Please vote in the following format: <b##Vote: Playername.</b You may unvote any time when a lynch has not occurred with the same format: <b##Vote: Playername.</b You may also vote for “No Lynch” or “Time Extension” with the same format. - The day ends when a majority of votes has been reached for someone. No posting after the deciding vote. If the day deadline is hit when there’s no majority, the person with the highest number of votes is automatically lynched. List of players: 1. AsurasKordoth 2. baubeta 3. Coffee Ninja 4. Cyclo 5. Fett 6. Forceful Dragon 7. GameBopAdv 8. Jack White 9. lefty 10. Menji 11. MrSmartGuy 12. MZero 13. Ngamer 14. Not Dave 15. potatoesaretubers 16. Redtooth 17. Sir Chris 18. SSBM 19. SunnyX 20. The Raven 2 21. ToadYoshi 22. WVI With 22 alive, it takes 12 to lynch. Day ends at roughly 5:30 PM EST, Friday July 25. Get to posting! --- This was KING BELLIS LOL ed status: UGH SHARP ELBOWS |

##VOTE: SunnyX I was originally going to vote him for the sole reason that I decided I don't like his username but I saw lefty's post and thought it might be interesting and roll a die through an AIM Chatroom. Guess who I rolled? http://home.graffiti.net/thegreatzidane/mafia.GIF --- ~AK~ // Merc |

what do you mean by "substantial posts"? Basically something that furthers the conversation. Your thoughts on a particular user or users, basically. Coming in and voting randomly isn't exactly substantial, but justifying your vote with some reasoning would be. --- This was KING BELLIS LOL ed status: UGH SHARP ELBOWS |

##VOTE Not Dave . I've watched enough episodes of the mole to know that it's always the hot foreign babe that's doing it (I actually only watched the last two episodes of the Kathy Griffin season and that's what happened.) Now, Not Dave isn't exactly a hot foreign babe, but he is foreign. He also dressed as a girl once. Also I think he'd look nice if he died his hair blonde. Game over, lets do day 8. I recommend something not so easy and obvious. --- Love, Bobeta |

Eh..I personally don't exactly like the idea of voting for someone based off a random roll of a dice, but then again we don't quite have that much to base anyone of being scum right now, since it's the first day..... ...I've got a slight idea of who I'd vote for right now, but I'd certainly rather wait a bit and cast my vote a little later tonight... --- Silverliner says: MEI LING, SAMUS JUST TOOK HER CLOTHES OFF zemzam says: What??? |

hmm... i thought about this for a bit, and it's really hard to pick someone to vote for this early in the game. if i vote against the people who actually know how to play this fancy game then we'll be left with a pretty rotten mess if they're ever all gone, so i'm just going to hop on the 19 bandwagon and vote against the only person on the list that i don't know: ##Vote: SunnyX ND |

*reads topic* I see that many people here have never played a game of mafia. To anyone who has no idea what you're doing, some advice: If you want to win, actively talk about the game and gain information on player alliances. This is useful as the mafia tend to be in an alliance. Day 1 is NOT a purely random lynch; if someone is smart, they can discover a mafia tell from someone, or at least a little bit about player alliances. Now lets try to be a little intelligent about it and not all bandwagon to SunnyX. With that in mind, ##VOTE BauBeta --- Jinjo for Summer Contest 2008 |

reason: his post was one of the least substantial I have ever seen in any mafia game, even for day 1. (that was implied in the above post, but explicitly stated here because after rereading I realized it wouldn't make sense to anyone but me.) --- Jinjo for Summer Contest 2008 |

Okay, um, I've decided I'll vote now, and...uhh ##Vote: Jack White Reasons: Well...I believe the thing said active players must post twice every game day...so here's my second post. And also I'm feeling a bit sick right now so I'm gonna go lay down for a bit and if I end up falling asleep I don't want to end up missing my 2nd post as well as my chance to vote... Also Jack White's post just seemed...I dunno. It just kinda made me suspicious of him being in the Mafia, though I wouldn't be all too surprised if he wasn't. --- Silverliner says: MEI LING, SAMUS JUST TOOK HER CLOTHES OFF zemzam says: What??? |

The first day is quite hard to decipher. I'm kind of worried that because most of us are new, it might just make it harder. But I do agree someone needs to go, and I don't actually know who SunnyX is, so that as good a name as any. Though I wouldn't mind hearing what he has to say before doing so... --- Redtooth |

Whoo, first mafia and I already have a bandwagon on me. Ohh, and just in case anyone wonders, this might be my first mafia, but I've been reading these topics on B8 for quite some time so I'm not as horrible as I could be. Reading back through the topic, I am a bit suspicious of how fast the bandwagon started on me. The first post I can believe, but then it seems like most of the people that I've seen play mafia before decided to jump on my wagon too. Of course, it's easily explainable by saying that it's best to vote off a newbie on the first day, but I'd be willing to bet there's at least one scum on me right now. Jack White's first serious post in this topic was basically him saying "lol okay bandwagons are fun on day one" without really adding anything else, though I know it'd be hard this early on. Add on the fact that he's the fourth person to vote for me, which happens to be a prime spot for mafia if they want in on a wagon. Not going to vote yet, but I thought I'd just bring all this up. --- SunnyX ~ The cream of Robopon fanyboyisim http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/5711/flawlessvictorynb4.png |

>_< Of course, as I type that up he posts. Well, either he's town and he realized that the vote on me could be a trap, or he's mafia that's going along with the town opinion so his voting record seems better in the coming days. It being day one I'm more attracted to the second option, and he was all too quick to switch his vote around. But for the time being I'll believe him. --- SunnyX ~ The cream of Robopon fanyboyisim http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/5711/flawlessvictorynb4.png |

First, WVI, I'm pretty sure you shouldn't delete posts. Like Ever. To me, that's an easy strike one against you. Maybe not enough, but on day 1, it doesn't seem like it takes much to get rid of someone. Now, the next thing is the counter-bandwagon. Sunny seems pretty legit, but it is a bit surprising that a bunch of people were quick to defend him. Stop me if I'm reading too deeply into this, but if Sunny was mafia, his friends would quickly try to stop his bandwagon and try to convince others to jump ship. It makes sense, since from now on, anyone who votes Sunny would be immediately suspicious, which is perfect for a mafia member. Regardless, WVI still seems more suspicious. Besides deleting his post, he also quickly bandwagoned, and he seems to be playing the "I have no idea how to play this game" card quite strongly. Maybe he really is unsure about his actions, but I don't think he should exclaim this with every post. ##Vote:WVI --- Redtooth |

PLEASE, don't delete your posts. I'll let it slide this time, but do remember that it's clearly stated in the above rules. The logic behind this is that it's easy to remove incriminating evidence and stuff like that. So no more of that plz kthx --- This was KING BELLIS LOL ed status: UGH SHARP ELBOWS |

SunnyX(3): AsurasKordoth, th3l3fty, Not Dave, Jack White, (Jack White) Fett(1): Cyclo_Reaper Not Dave(1): baubeta baubeta(2): ToadYoshi, The Raven 2 Jack White(1): GameBopAdv, (GameBopAdv), WVI Menji(1): Fred-Savage WVI(1): Billy Blaze Oddest thing I see on here are the votes on baubeta. They both came at around the same time when the only thing baubeta had done was cast a (most likely) joke vote on Not Dave. It was still rather early on in the day and from what I've seen joke votes are rather common that early, but the fact that he got two votes on him based solely on that is kind of...odd. Even more odd when you factor in that baubeta was voting for someone on my lynch, but got a vote on him with the apparent reasoning being "let's not all bandwagon SunnyX". I'd like to hear from both of the people who voted him, if only to understand their reasoning. --- SunnyX ~ The cream of Robopon fanyboyisim http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/5711/flawlessvictorynb4.png |

>_< Augh augh read the next page you dolt. Okay, I suppose ToadYoshi is off the hook for now, but still, I'm rather sure that baubeta's first vote was a joke vote and wasn't meant to be taken beyond face value. Raven, I'd like to hear from you about your vote on baubeta, as it came before Toad's explanation of his vote. --- SunnyX ~ The cream of Robopon fanyboyisim http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/5711/flawlessvictorynb4.png |

K just got on. anyway I really hate lynching day 1. I also really hate lynching based on people being morons and rolling dice, especially in big games. I don't have much time to say anything as I am playing a game at the moment, but anyone who votes based off dice or names is either majorly suspicious of being scum to me or of being a complete moron, regardless of their role. I'll be on in a bit to take a glance at everyone's posts to see if I can spot anyone acting scummy, but for now I'll keep it at that |

##UNVOTE: SunnyX My vote was simply meant to test the waters and I'm not quite sure I feel about SunnyX's level of scumminess right now. I somehow managed to get 4-5 others to bandwagon on him but then there were 4-5 others who were a bit defensive of him saying not to get on the bandwagon and express suspicion for people on the bandwagon. It's pretty hard to read much into this considering most of the players here are new // just playing this due to WWYD and don't really care if they win/lose. I do feel that SunnyX seems to be trying a bit too hard to be active and say things but that could just be the newbie factor. By the way, your votals fail. Can someone post a version that doesn't? ##VOTE: Fred-Savage His first post was "Menji sounds like a terrorist to me, lets get him" near the beginning of the game and the second post to vote Menji for the same reason. Honestly he is obviously just voting and putting random reasons to pretend like he's actually here and doing something. He initially wanted to get a bandwagon on Menji, but was too afraid to even cast a vote. He came back with the SunnyX bandwagon well under way and didn't join probably because he was a) afraid to look scummy getting on a bandwagon or b) is scumbuddies with SunnyX. I say this especially because at the time of his second post, there was a lot more to work with (SunnyX bandwagon, two people voting baubetta, odd posts from people like GameBopAdv, and a few other votes out there) and there was no excuse to place a random vote based on a username. --- ~AK~ // Merc |

##VOTE: SunnyX This guy seems to know a little too much if you ask me... It's hard to say anything definite, this being Day One and all, but he's certainly coming up the scummiest so far on my scum radar. --- Hot Content: thengamer.com/xstats | board8.wikia.com He isn't a killer.

Ed: Are you going to tell us what roles there are/how many scum there are? The forum I used to play this on always started at night, so I'm a little thrown right now. ##VOTE: WVI Since we have nothing/very little to go off of, I'm gonna have to go with the post-deleter. I know that seems unfair since a lot of us are newcomers, but whatever. --- ITGWHAITWM |

##Vote: Coffee Ninja. I could jump on SunnyX or baubeta, but you got to take someone who's not involved. Coffee Ninja. He hasn't posted yet and what could be the reason? It could be because he just hasn't been on. But it's more than likely he doesn't know what to post and doesn't want to screw something up just to get involved. I'm thinking something is up. --- Menji Now Playing: Metal Gear Solid 4 and ESIV: Oblivion |

hmm. two reasons I changed my vote before going: 1. mafia could have bandwagoned on SunnyX (already explained) 2. if you guys ended the day while I was gone I'd have needed a second serious post.
