The code names will become more obvious later in the game if people only get one vote per day (or night action against them )

OHHH just thought we are going to be playing hangman in the only Mafia game where people Don't get lynched . (pop quiz for the Merkins is that Irony ? )


Bolero got what I meant about Charlou It's fucking obvious if you are town ! any one who does not understand EXACTLY what I said and why IS SCUM .
When i was reading the first few pages it just looked like you and charlou were working out the game (ie i was none the wiser about either of your alignments, after all everyone will be keen to work out the way the game works). But as things went on i found myself agreeing with you more and more, and the thing about all scum have to go was lodged in my brain but i assumed i'd picked this up from one of the pre game threads or the OP. In fact i still haven't reread my role pm, gonna do that now.

I'm kinda not a fan of gaming by role pm but the horse has bolted and this game is basically one big puzzle about the game design so i'm cool with it. ok looked at mine again, okthen feck, looking at the number of words in each line of your pm, can you spot a regular pattern? yes/no

what about the first letter of each line, any pattern there?

please no one else answer, at least until feck does

Well isn't that a tad different then the last Mafia game where I was censured by my peers for not voting on the first day.

I agree with you, just sayin', though.

But I see Gonzo and UT's point as well...not voting is not participating and town needs all of the help that they can get.

OK, see that's what I'm still learning about. Meta game is not my strength.

No i think Charlou knew that a mass town outing would be a bad idea to promote because it's a fucking stupid idea if we are to believe both of them are town then we should also be happy to label both of them as illiterate Aza can't read the game set up and Charlou can't read her role PM . I think AZA has an excuse because the game set up was spread over several threads and posts but Charlou can't read or remember the last line of her role PM ?

(if you got a town Role PM Don't comment on that post Iz a tarp )


Gaming by role PM Fucking sucks :cry: but I didn't set a test on it. it just presented it's self to me , It's not something I can pretend to not know :eddy:

Now when I say Charlou didn't read the town role PM and other players say 'I don't understand what do you mean? ' what conclusion do you think I should come to ? the fact YOU didn't seem to get it makes me worry about you .
when I checked my role pm against what she posted about the win condition is, I had to laugh because although it means the same thing, it's not what my role PM says. But, I know that one of Zigmen's GM quirks is that he handcrafts every role PM, including each vanilla role, so that people can't quiz each other on the format.

And while it may be migraine induced bad memory, I did have to go back and actually look at my PM and confirm once the win condition topic came up. When I read my role PM I was confused about the code word stuff, and was even more confused by the PG (as originally written). That made a bigger impression on me than the win condition.

I'm a little skeptical of this sort of tell, especially in a Zigmen game, though you've hammered it (successfully and correctly) in at least one game we've played together.
Handcrafts eh? Hmm.

Guessing your role pm didn't begin with Yo Gib! then :cry:

Look I understand that role pm's could be different but really ! It's not like I asked 'what's the third letter on the forth word in your role PM is it ? It was just glaring .

and then with certain people saying 'I don't understand? ' what do you think ? EVEN after I almost explicitly said how I knew that Charlou had not had the same PM as I did some people didn't get it , some people even now are just guessing EVEN after Bolero blurted it out .

Feck wrote:The general Idea that specials could be penalised was mentioned in either the PG or the sign up as soon as it was mentioned that Specials could just out on day one , that's why I'm suspicious of anyone who recommended this as a course of action . I have no idea what roles scum might have ,or any variations of voting system but it was specifically mentioned that a mass outing of specials had been considered by the GM's and was not to be advised .

Diva I'm not the Don . That comment was specifically aimed at the post by Oblivion , and it has happened to me before .
We've had less than a day to think about how to game this game, dean has had weeks.

Holy shit. Shut up you lot. I have no chance of catching up.
Someone give me a summary I can read in a couple of hours.

Do we have an agreed strategy? Is anyone looking scummy?
