Sorry, poor choice of words. He confused the whole town. :-)

Ok lets try and get Vitek to 'fess up to being the mafia scum he is....

Watch this repeatedly Vitek -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8SwY9DgbLw <- and then sign the confession.

And managed to draw the mafia nightkill, so it wasn't all bad.

If Vitek is mafia scum, then why are you not voting for him? Hmm?

No proof yet, I'm trying to get a confession by playing on his irrational fears and hatreds. (Doubt it'll work though :\)

But.

Unvote itai.sharim
Vote Vitek

No more randomness.

Do you have any prior experience with Mafia, be it the forum, chat, or party version, Stuart?

You were town, yet you were trying to confuse the whole town?

umm...why?

Because you should really fear a player of his caliber. Hence if he is scum we're doomed and I must go with the vote Zchinque, but as he is even better as a town I might just have to unvote him when the RVS ends.

Bringing people out of their comfort zones by making them confused, angry, or whatever, makes them more likely to take down their shields, and put their real thoughts and emotions into their posts. These are again easier and more accurate for analysis of the mindset behind the posts.

There was also an element of smoke and mirrors. Consider the following three things:
1) It was the second game played on this site (and the first one I played in).
2) I was the one who introduced mafia to this community.
3) I was more or less the only one with much prior experience.
Given those three, I found it likely that I would, rightly or wrongly, be considered a "strong" player. Now in my experience, highly revered, again whether deserved or not, players have a tendency to die early. The town want them dead because "OMG! What if they're mafia?!", and the mafia want them dead because, well, they know they're not mafia, and fear them because they're more experienced, perhaps their perceived analytical skills, and so on.

OK, OK, I confess I ate all cookies.

This game has taken off at a weird angle,
and, to extend the aeroplane metaphor, it might experience turbulence?

Posting to check in and say I'm sick, so I'll be back after I get some rest.

Maybe I should change my vote because I've seen that your sick in two games! Damn running out of handy ideas for excuses?

Nah, in a more serious meant remark: May you get better soon and at least before Christmas.

And creating the first bandwagon at the same time? Hmmm, interesting ...

Sooo any mafia want to raise their hand to get this wagon train rolling?

Interesting question, especially in light of post 53.
