Black Blood Brothers Mafia Thread

Re: Black Blood Brothers Mafia Thread

Don't really feel the need to answer that one. But you're asking has been noted.

My asking has been noted? You're failure to answer question has been noted.

I think we both know what you're/we're taking about, so you really did block me didn't you?

How could he have blood on his vest? No one has been killed yet! Sounds like you know something we don't.

This anime is about vampires, right?


 
Re: Black Blood Brothers Mafia Thread

Yes, but RlyehExiled also said Night 0 is pre-game and no abilities may be used, meaning no one has had a chance to do anything, including suck some blood. So it looks like you know something the rest of us don't, and possibly kestegs as well. I say two scumbuddies trying to do an early game distancing.
 
Re: Black Blood Brothers Mafia Thread

A random vote from asrrin is a bit surprising.

'Eh, not really.

what is "sire"

To expand upon Noodle's answer, 'sire' can be used as both a verb and a noun.

As a verb, it means to turn someone into a vampire, by whatever methods are proper for the story's world.

As a noun, it is the relationship of the two vampires, with the turner being the sire. Think of it as a father or mother figure. If you've ever seen the movie "Interview With the Vampire", Lestat is the sire of both Louis and Claudia, since he's the one that turned both of them. Even though Louis has a closer relationship to Claudia than Lestat, Lestat is the sire since he did the deed of turning her. If you haven't seen the movie, SHAME ON YOU.

This is generalization for most vampire lore; how the particulars relate to this setting I cannot say, but I'm willing to bet it's fairly close to what I outlined.

In any case, why this matters to us:
Flip said:
SO I watched the series (12 episodes @ about 20 min each) and it looks like we are up against a fairly strong "cult" the Kowloon Children (KC). The KC can either kill or recruit and with a win condition of "You win when you control more than half the towns vote" I expect we need to hunt recruits more than decifer deaths - or am I off here?

I find it strange you jump to the conclusion that we're dealing with a cult, when the story specifically mentions that Kowloon Clan is killing their victims instead of using the recruits to overwhelm the... city, or whatever. Also, talking about a fairly standard win condition for mafia and making it sound "oooo, soooo spooooky!" gives me the impression that you're trying to sound like you're saying something, but not actually saying anything at all. Common scum tactic.



 
Re: Black Blood Brothers Mafia Thread

LOL Ya - say anything: your scum - don't say anything: your scum - say too much: your scum - say too little: your scum! I can say CG that games on this site are the only ones you get hung for contributing - or not - or for any other random thing! The "Common Scum Tactic" is so overused by all here I find it too dam funny. OH - you countered me - "That's a common scum tactic" LOL!

NeWay
Gwaihir - The KC can kill OR "turn" humans to Thier bloodline. They can "Sire" vampires of another bloodline to thiers - turning all into Kowloon. Strange story line part is most KC kids are raving lunatics who just want to kill - but not sure how this works into the storyline? Any non-Kowloon should know any turned except for the major characters who seem to be able to not go mad. Mad in the sence that thier eyes turn yellow - nails grow to claws - and the killing rage. The KC's tactic in Hong Kong was to turn all into an army - they tried to do the same in the "Safe Zone" where this story is set. Does it mean that's what will happen in this game? Of course not; I'm just speculating.

Fred - Again I'm speculating but I think if I were the "bad-guys" I'd rather turn players than kill. Not that I need to say it even to you as a self proclaimed "Somewhat MAfia nub"; trust no one. Even if they seem to be pro-town at one point - they may be turned after that.

Oh - CG got it right to a point - to "Sire" is to turn one into a Vampire but the twist in this case as I said - The KC can turn existing vampires to thier bloodline; which also turns them into savage killers. Hence I'm thinking powerful cult.
 
Re: Black Blood Brothers Mafia Thread

to expand on the Anime - the main characters do battle and do kill each other with swords/weapons like most any other anime - Until we see the first death story I hate to say I really don't know how this game will play out.
 
Re: Black Blood Brothers Mafia Thread

Is it just me or does Noodle have a "recruitment...yes" answer for all of our mafia games lately -.-. J/K you are all good. coughfornowcough.


A little perplexed on starting on a day. Guess it gives us a chance to lynch a townie before the actions kick in. Random votes ahoy!

I have not seen any of the show either

Bad ash, now, why would we want to lynch a townie?

Re: Black Blood Brothers Mafia Thread

Day 0? awesome. I've had a busy weekend. Stayed with OTG this weekend. Ohmygosh, he's so sweet and I like hanging out with him! ^_^ and HMB came in on Saturday, asked me out, exchanged numbers. Have a date with him this Saturday. omgomgomgomg!! anyways... I'm dead tired so I'll try and be quick.

OH -

And of course hunt Cassa and the rest of the KC - my main point is I doubt the KC will be doing the killing unless there is some form of "sire immunity".

Cassa? and if we are talking "sire" as in the one who makes vamps, how would one be granted immunity? i am confooosed.

I have not watched it, but I read a bit on wiki, and I at first thought they would be a cult too. But then I saw the part in the story I bolded. So maybe in this game they just kill? Or possibly a mix of both?

Also coju, what on earth are you talking about?

well, vamps can kill and they can create more. not everyone who is bitten gets turned into a vampire. If we are going by classic lore, idk anything about this anime.

As a noun, it is the relationship of the two vampires, with the turner being the sire. Think of it as a father or mother figure. If you've ever seen the movie "Interview With the Vampire", Lestat is the sire of both Louis and Claudia, since he's the one that turned both of them.

my fave movie of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cloud9:

and with that, catch you gents later! :D Hey, Ash, since we are in the same time zone, what time does the game start/end? thanks!! *huggles* hope all is well. you look so weird not being green. hope all is okay. :wave:


 
Re: Black Blood Brothers Mafia Thread

what time does the game start/end? thanks!!

At the moment I'm using 1pm GMT as the switch time

According to the forums timezone selector.

East is 5 hours behind
Centeral is 6 hours behind
Mountain is 7 hours behind
Pacific is 8 hours behind.

So

EST 8am
CST: 7am
Mountain: 6am
PST: 5am


 
Re: Black Blood Brothers Mafia Thread

Also have completely no knowledge of the show, and in fact needed to remind myself the game started today. Between the Ravens v Pats game and my new addiction League of Legends, I've been a bit preoccupied.

Going to have to read up some on the lore.

Also, RNG says I vote zemaj for first random vote of the day!

Vote: zemaj

Hungry for some human blood sausage zemaj?

A random vote from you? Really? You're always against everything random. Always trying to find a reason for everything, no matter how silly the reason, you've always wanted one. And now, random?

Yes, but RlyehExiled also said Night 0 is pre-game and no abilities may be used, meaning no one has had a chance to do anything, including suck some blood. So it looks like you know something the rest of us don't, and possibly kestegs as well. I say two scumbuddies trying to do an early game distancing.

If no one could use any abilities, how WOULD he have the knowledge? You think that he would out himself and a mafia compadre not five posts into the game?

PS. This isn't random.

Re: Black Blood Brothers Mafia Thread

I find it strange you jump to the conclusion that we're dealing with a cult, when the story specifically mentions that Kowloon Clan is killing their victims instead of using the recruits to overwhelm the... city, or whatever.

Common scum tactic.

Ok, so hulu rocks for things like this. I am watching the series, on 9/12. In general KC seems to kill their victims, but the ones they don't kill are basically mind controlled and go nuts. So by lore, recruiting is a significant possibility.The KC killing their victims is a quote from the series, but very hard to tell how the game will go.

LOL Ya - say anything: your scum - don't say anything: your scum - say too much: your scum - say too little: your scum!

While I might agree with your premise about "common scum tactics," why do you respond with a rant instead of explaining yourself. The defensiveness helps no one, while explaining yourself would be a lot more useful.

You have been throwing fingers everywhere, and really not making any sense. I am not sure why you are spouting all of this stuff off at so many people, but this definitely makes you my top suspect for the day. You almost seem like a VI. Or are you just a KC? They seem to go crazy when they get turned, and you are doing a very convincing job of that.


Yikes that is earlier than I like, but that is the way it goes. Might actually have to get up early to make the end of the day :P

Also thanks for running this game. Interesting series, probably never would have found it without you making the game.


 
Re: Black Blood Brothers Mafia Thread

Game rules seem pretty standard though the day start is uncommon. Anyone remember if RlyehExiled was a fan of day starts? The rules say no NIGHT abilities may be used during pregame. My tin-foil-hat-sense is thinking daytime abilities.

Game start story is interesting. Like the wiki yet unlike the wiki.

I spoke too soon about the game rules:

Day ends on lock ...

How does this work? Taken literally: the day ends. No more discussion No more talk.

I didn't want to say anything, but kestegs hasn't been at our monthly meetings lately...

Did you not want to say anything at all or did you not want to share that particular piece of information? If you didn't want to say anything at all, why did you make the first post of the game at, I think, ahead of the scheduled time the game was supposed to start? If you didn't want to share that particular piece of information, why did you not come up with another subject to talk about? You didn't find anything about the rules, setup, lore, or D1 story important enough to talk about?

Completely forgot about reading the role PM last night when I came home drunk.

Someone wants us to know they didn't send in any actions last night.

what is "sire"

To add to what others have said: "to sire" is equivalent to the phrase "to father." At least in mammals and horse breeding in particular. It's a conscious, intentional act which produces offspring. In mafia terms, the first thing I think of is recruitment. I'm having a hard time coming up with an applicable mafia term other than recruitment.

I can see why you'd want to try to get me lynched though.

Pot. Meet kettle.

I find it strange you jump to the conclusion that we're dealing with a cult, when the story specifically mentions that Kowloon Clan is killing their victims instead of using the recruits to overwhelm the... city, or whatever. Also, talking about a fairly standard win condition for mafia and making it sound "oooo, soooo spooooky!" gives me the impression that you're trying to sound like you're saying something, but not actually saying anything at all. Common scum tactic.

The same story that mentions KC killing their victims also mentions a method KC can 'turn' victims without killing their victims. The story also mentions how non-KC vampires can 'turn' their victims. The recruitment aspect seems entirely plausible to me, seeing that it fits the lore and has been specifically mentioned by the mod.

As for Flip saying something without saying something: I disagree. I think Flip said a whole lot but I'll get the that in a minute.

Also, it's a common scum tactic for scum to point out the common scum tactics of townies.

Is it just me or does Noodle have a "recruitment...yes" answer for all of our mafia games lately -.-. J/K you are all good. coughfornowcough.

What do YOU think about recruitment? Cults? How do those opinions affect your read on Noodle so far this game?



 
Re: Black Blood Brothers Mafia Thread

@Gory: Yeah that's exactly right. Once someone is locked (and I notice the lock), the day will end and ethier go into twilight or night depending how close we are to the 1pm mark (else locks could be used to screw around with day/start times).
 
Re: Black Blood Brothers Mafia Thread

Gory: I did not think about that - I thought it would be fairly obvious that nobody sent in actions, as it wasn't allowed. The day abilities thing makes some sense.

I don't know what coju is up to. IMO he's probably just spamming. Doesn't bother me but is of course not helping town.

If what ankeli said about asrrin is right, I like his case.

I could not have turned since no one has been recruited since no night actions have been sent in yet.

Fingers going crazy, eh? I've pointed at two people. Kegs, just because, Ash, because he said
