Re: Y.A.W.P's Warcraft Themed Pen 'n Paper RPG style Mafia Game Game Thread
Gorny:
He can't try any harder to hint he is with the Horde by speaking as Tauren, Orc and Blood Elf. The Horde, our game moderator says, is against the Twilight Hammer Cult, apparently responsible for Noammr's death. All these hints, and yet nothing of real substance to them. It's a great plan for a mafia scum to look like they are contributing and/or dropping clues, without really doing so.
I'd give Gorny more credit than him trying something that simplistic as scum. That said, I'm not sure what he thinks he's doing, other than being his mysterious self. Perhaps he means to poke us, trying to get some reactions to judge?
Ankeli:
He talks about no third party killers for balance reasons yet also talks about DPS roles initiating combat and the possibility of death through injuries. Plus he wants to get into combat, which can't happen for 3 more game nights. It's subliminal code for "keep me alive 3 more nights."
Wanting to experiment with the combat system is understandable, I want to see it in action too. The post about injuries was in response to me, and in the absence of other topics to talk about I think talking about combat mechanics is better than nothing.
Feysal:
Last game, while mafia, he lurked, talked about being busy on mafiascum.net, and always tried to appear pro-town when he posted, yet posted less than normal and about fewer subjects. He is acting the same this game. Plus he noticed nurman being banned, which is quite the attention to detail for a lurker. Is there a connection you both share? If either of you turn up mafia, I know who to focus on next.
I don't think we are far enough into the game to really accuse anyone of lurking, and I would not be surprised if many people were more busy than usual just before Christmas. My alignment has nothing to do with my commitments on mafiascum.net, and if you think I am ignoring something of importance, do point it out. As for nurman being banned, I think it is only natural to be worried about what effects that may have on the game. If the ban had been longer, it may have been necessary to seek a replacement for nurman, which is certainly worthy of attention.
Nolecub:
Technically, Nolecub shouldn't be on this list, seeing as he doesn't have a post I can sort this list by. He gets an honorary spot on this list anyway, as a policy vote for inactivity. While I am singling Nolecub out, don't think I'm not keeping an eye on the 1 post posters.
So, you considered my mention of nurman's ban as suspicious, for drawing attention to a lurker - which nurman is not, there is an obvious reason for his inactivity. Then you yourself highlight Nolecub's inactivity (confusing him with Noammr) and vote him? You've certainly caught my attention with this.
Overall, I'm not really sold on any of your cases here, and your attempt to link me with nurman looks strange. I tried something similar with Bad Ash and Leo last game, if you remember. The game is still young though, and I've never yet seen a very good case on a first day in our games here.
