You're just mad that I stole your line.

I'm kinda surprised that the Confused discussion hasn't exactly seen more light. Does everyone just presume it to be one of those early post jokes? It's not an unfair assessment, but we need to talk about something.

Well okay then, why dont we look at Alt, who is prepared to admit it was probably a joke, but also trying to drive us to suspect Confused anyway!

I wouldn't say he's particularly driving people, I'd say he's grasping onto the only tell that there has been put out thus far. Confused asked for claims, which (as far as the other three Mafia games I've been in so far) has always been shot down as a bad idea that gives the Mafia easy targets and generally gives them winning plays. So far, no one else has been able to find any other possible tells, so it seems reasonable to grasp onto this one for now. I'd be more concerned with those ignoring it as possible Mafia who are letting us squabble among ourselves instead of offering discussion and possibly letting a tell go off that the town could grasp onto.



It was meant to be a joke about how you said in the signup thread that you were always lynched Day 1 or killed Night 1. I said "policy" since it seemed the general consensus among the Mafia players that they had a policy about killing you off. While I'm sure it will be read into, it was meant as a joke.

As squinty mentioned, I'm not trying to force people to vote for confused. I'm trying to get people to talk.
As much as I'd like to be out of the spotlight, even you addressing the concept is good for town.

Once enough people have posted ideas, we can reevaluate and go from there, but we can't do that without talkiing first.

Man, you all must be in a different time zone than me, or just have crazy odd work schedules. My only chance to post around all the major activity is while I'm on the can at work...

I still don't really know how to approach this awkward first day phase, except to make idle banter and then start pointing fingers.

/end idle banter

Finger pointing forthcoming...

The fact that two of you managed to not read that as further over the top silliness in finger pointing jokes customary to day 1 makes me mildly sad.

Are you asking me to finger you?

It's all fun and games until somebody points a finger at you in mafia.

And that, my friends, is how you use emoticons.

You forgot:

Btw, alt, I am clever? Really? I mean, geez, I guessed Arioch and rsntme (the two docs) as mafia last game.

We all have to start somewhere, so might as well,



Still, tell me, why and what exactly are you suspicious about?




So, for what reason do you like to be out of the spotlight?

So you agreed your actions weren't beneficial, but now you want to know what's not suspicious about it?

~SE++

See? See what you're doing? Trying to make people underestimate you.



Rats, you caught me.
Hey everyone look at me! I don't want to draw attention to myself when everyone's out for blood!



I don't think anybody wants to be in the spotlight regardless of their alignment.

Pfft. I knew Arioch and Soup were town last game. It was obvious.

*sigh*

I long for the day, someday, when I can use more than one browser at work - and that one browser isn't limited to IE8 - so I don't have to keep remembering to log out and back in again...

I have a feeling whatever future boards I join I'll just use the name Soup. I think it was Z's invention, and I like it, so gratzi

Does anyone actually take Confused's request seriously? I thought it was an allusion to at least the previous 2 games, where people claimed early on.

@altimis the spotlight is kinda on you, but at least you look good!

I took the name chocolate and the allusions to a lack of vanilla to mean everybody has a role. In a situation such as that mafia wouldn't care if you had a role, but rather what your role is. Which makes fishing for specific role information far more suspicious in such a set up.

With that said. I claim vanilla. <_<

Man, if IE8 was my only option I think I'd quit the boards.

Anywho (in order of how we signed up):

Ace of Moxes - mostly silent so far
Garren_Windspear - silent except for one joke
altimis - suggested a few people to look at, criticized Cofnused, and has made a lot of jokes
Mown - defended his position briefly and weakly
Scarlet - complained about my note about lynching but has added nothing despite three posts
Confused - asked for claims (possibly joking) but has seemed to flip-flop on that stance since
Zherog - has said nothing of value, only jokes
Elijin - a few jokes, but nothing of substance
felbatista - no posts as of yet
15377 - claims vanilla, suspicious of asking for claims
rstnme - joked around for a bit, defends Confused, keeps spotlight on altimis
seTiny - one joking post asking for Mafia to out themselves
seekeroftruth444 - has promised a finger pointing soon, but nothing yet


Personally, I'm looking at rstnme, he seems to be deflecting a lot.
