I took it as another boastful "Im so much better at Mafia than you little people" joke.

Prepsot EDIT: see?

Being good at Mafia is like being a lady. If you have to keep telling everyone that you are, you probably aren't.

When I noticed that Carradice and Scene were gone for 2 days on I posted:
Micro notices Scene's absense:
Finally Scene returns
I greeted him and asked to check my or Cristigale's reply:
Later on Scene defends Pooka:
He even proposes the possibility for one Mafia lynching another, it's the first time he named Pooka as possible Mafia (and the last one):
Scene chose Cristigale's post over mine and states that he saw that Joe's vote was placed before posting (he knew about 1 out of 4 discrepancies):
...(need time, thank you ALL for giving it to me, thank you for the bump... for everything)

The fact that I survived blatantly fake claiming on day one already proves what I said to be true.

Gameplan if Cadaver flips Town

1. Lynch Laser - no should not have any argument against it, right?
2. Investigate either Gamerager or Scene - agree that they are fishy, however Town can't investigate if they don't have a role (not at all manipulative)
3. Shoot whichever fool the cop didn't investigate (for real) - what a load of cr...p

Yeah, and I almost switched votes because of it!

Left the game at #363 (minus a deserved LOL post). Back at #418. Will try to comment on the main issues

Really, Is Scene on the ball? Like, at all.

Worried about O'Rager and Large not showing. Although they both mentioned RL issues, IIRC. Now Games arrived for the end-of-day showdown, and he sounds like pure, undilluted O'Rager.. Hopefully things improve with both of them on the next game-day. One day is OK. More... Also, I really want to hear the Lift's take on the Scene/Lazy exchange.

The most healthy approach, and the most effective, involves keeping a mind open to new clues. Especially since the first impressions on Day 1 get are to be necessarilly weak, compared to later game clues, and they get paired with more solid evidence. So, Cadaver's tiny light went off, and Pookie's faded in the background. Most likely, the discussion over today's lunch should be heated and revealing, whatever it ends up being.

(@Cristine, consider your largely rethorical question answered. For more examples of how I think, you can find them on the Harry Potter's game)

@Lonzi: Thanks for the clarification. Comments on this thread mentioned that this was your first GOG mafia game. Had no idea that you were a veteran from another site. This helps when interpreting your posts, and is a revealing mode, kudos for that.

Hopefully you will enjoy the game and the community. Being one of the newer guys around, I can tell you already that games are indeed laid-back, where someone can stay friendly while calling you scum in seven different ways, and where you actually miss people when they are absent, regardless of the alignment they will receive (Trent comes easily to mind, along others). There is also this attitude, shared by many, of having fun while playing and solving the game.

Cristine might be legit Town. The vote on O'Rager is par for the course. Yet nothing Games did (not showing too much because of RL?) appears scummier than the Scene/Lazy so far. Is Cristine falling into the trap of neglecting the simple and tangible for the imaginary? Some seasoned mafia players seem to do so. Like, going for the convoluted might be cooler than staying with the tangible and obvious. Dunno, but still, I think easy does it.

Well, kudos in advance if the Fish flips scum, because I never saw it (I still doubt you did). In he flips Town, I hope you are preparing some kind of excuse for your sorry asses. Only that of course you will not, since it is a lazy lunch and most voted "just because". Nice way to lunch, noncommital, free of consequences... only, it will not be, hopefully. This brings back memories of Micro and Flocke, only in a reduced, meaner and non-entertaining way.

Not sure why this group just took to lunch a nice, enjoyable guy who did not do anything especially scummy. Seriously. Please, wise people, explain to the novice. Surely you know something I do not.

Undoubtedly. Only yesterday I was doing my shopping and heard the lady in front of me say "That zazak is so daring. I can never metaread him so he always wins at Mafia." You're world famous, dude.

Yeah, and wait until they run out to hammer, only to find out someone or another changed their vote.

Tell me what you brag about and I'll tell you what you lack.

Anyone who change his vote would get +100 Mafia points. Of course you must have been not knowing about that.

And when that someone changes their vote, we still get a no-lynch. You're the only one who can guarantee your own vote, and trusting you to hammer 7 hours is trusting you not to forget about it 7 hours later, not throw a wrench into the works, or trusting that your internet won't die out. I'm through with voting on the last 10 seconds before deadline.

@Cadaver

By the way, your English has gotten much better since the first game. I haven't had any trouble understanding you.

Remember the Harry Potter game. The days that ended in a lunch for Flocke, Trent... Man, those were rollercoasters.

Well soon enough plates are coming out and everybody seems to be pleasured up and no-one is giving much thought to the carrying on of a moment ago, and so everybody in the place is most surprised when Scenes Supplamicz, who seems to look at him to be a very peacable kinda guy, pulls out the old equaliser and it says like this: 'whammity wham wham' and in no time at all the wall of Gog's back room is full of slugs, and Mike the Fish is likewise.
Personally I am not too sorry to see Mike the Fish with holes in him in this way, for as I am saying already if you are looking for a crook you will find no equal, except perhaps if you were to look in the direction of Shirley Primalley, but naturally it is somewhat unsettling to have such an appetising lunch interrupted in this manner.
Well things being what they are, guys and dolls are soon jawing and carrying on once again, and many are seem proponents of one cause and many seem in proponents of another and one doll or another is making through the Fish's wallet and so everybody seems to come to some agreement at that time and so we are soon sat down once again and eating Gog's lunch, though I for one am finding myself quite without an appetite.

Microfish_1 has majority votes and is eliminated. He was Town Regular.

It is now the first action phase. I'd like to give it about 36 hours, say.
