Forum Mafia - The Dark Tower Game Thread

[Kestegs]

I don't think those BA quotes from yesterday are useful. But maybe I'm just missing something?

 

[Kestegs]

Oh, and we got name and alignment in the thread. That probably means that mafia have fake claims given to them.

 

[Caluin Graye]

Cg, is you BA vote just a feeling?

While I'd love to go for a Boston joke, it's just a gut vote.

Drixx more or less said this pre-game somewhere, but I don't remember where.

While not quite a LAMIST statement, I took it as something along the lines of a "Look, I'm Making A Joke About Me Being Scum, Therefore I Must Be Town" (LIMAJAMBSTIMBT) statement.

Whoops, need to learn to refresh before posting.

This is a good way to describe it. I was trying to think of a way to explain the purpose or reasoning behind that post, but dat_acronym explains it pretty well.

Somewhat for fun, somewhat because it feels like you're trying to get on CG's good side.

Fair enough. But if you do look at his post CG does describe it pretty well. I was going to post about how it seemed like BA was making a joke out of it as some sort of "cover" or something, but CG beat me to it. I'm still irked by this section of BA's response to CG from yesterday: "...I guess now that the riddle is solved, the world must move on."

It's weird, maybe it's just an opportunity to put in some more Dark Tower references or is it something else?

Are you suggesting an ability activated by a phrase? Hinting to partners? I just see references.

It's possible, I guess. It's most likely just a reference though.

The town is called "The White"
The mafia is called "The Red"
The neutrals, if there are any, will know what they are called.

So where did you get the information that the town is "White" and the mafia is "Red"?

Is this a real question?

 

[Bad Ash]

I wouldn't say so, no. I'm just not sure what he's trying to get at with these random questions. They're very peculiar. Although all I think he is trying to do is scum hunt but is over thinking acceptable answers.

Although this part of BA's post stuck out with me, in reply to CG asking him to name three names: "...I guess now that the riddle is solved, the world must move on."

I don't know what is meant by that. I would also like to hear something from the silent players, I don't like how people can just coast through the game largely silent.

I was kind of hoping to see if someone else would see it too, but I guess not. It was these two (specifically the second, but you need the first for context) that made me suspicious.

I am a huge fan of Dark Tower and Stephen King. Like ginormous. I have read almost everything he's ever written. "The World has move on" is written at least 100 times throughout the series and in Drixx's right up and the man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed is the first line to the entire series. I am a happy fanboi with this stuff and it's going to seep out all game from me, it just is.

So where did you get the information that the town is "White" and the mafia is "Red"?

Go read the last page of the signup thread.

 

[Bad Ash]

Has anyone even discussed pyro at this point? Or too busy using my repeating of mod given info to make me look scummy? I don't think any of his posts stood out to me yesterday and it usually seems like the noobies are the first to go in our games, but that by no means is scientific evidence.

Drixx said in the signup thread that he was giving fake claims to mafia.

Is it common on these forums to see votes this early on day 1?

 

[Sathoris]

Already on the defensive BA?

Vote: Zauper

Yes

 

[IWantToUseNumbersInMyName]

I have no idea what fake claims are or the significance of them, if someone could explain?

 

[Sathoris]

Actually

It's in Drixx's PM to you where he tells you to claim a different name than the one in the beginning of the PM. Mine tells me to claim VT, yours any different?
