Forum Mafia - The Dark Tower Game Thread

I'm not lurking, it's just that you guys post so much that my tasteful posts get buried in the rubble of your inane conversations.

lol, hate it when that happens.

I agree..... I don't think I've ever seen a game where mafia know why their kill failed.

If they get role info, they would know it was a redirect of some type, but the specific reason they would not know.

Specifically, if you look at the flavor text we got in the morning, it's pretty clear that the kill didn't occur because of a bus driver, it looks like a one-shot town night vig.

Hmm. Normally in our games stories actually don't reflect night events. This game did not make that claim though, so it could be more possible.

So in your games, do town receive PMs like 'you roleblocked goryani', or 'goryani was bleeding out and you saved him' and mafia get no PM at all? Or does no one get a PM?

You normally have no idea what happens unless you are an investigative role (cop, tracker, watcher, etc), and even then you normally only get the result (townie, or a list of names that your target visited) and not the name (CG is townie, Gory visited Mouse). That can change by mod though.

I felt a little sad panda at first, but I realize I haven't posted anything that could provide a decent read. So I guess i'm a happy hippo?

So you are happy people can't get a read on you?

I feel like there is a connection between Bash Ash and Kestegs, but I'm having a hard time determining what is scummy behavior and what is not. I also can't decide if connections can exist cross allies. We know Bash Ash was 'red', but can a connection exist between red and neutral?

I actually know Zap from another game I used to play that involves a lot of diplomacy. We've had a few conversations in the past and I feel that the language he's using isn't any different then what I'm used to seeing. I'm also not ready to label him as scum. I think he's just being very particular about how he presents himself.

No real feeling on Numbah yet.

I may have been playing too much DOTA tonight, but I feel like Bash Ash would be a great name for Tiny with an Aghs!

Anyways, what exactly are you thinking of for a neutral-mafia connection? I am not following that part.

As for others: cdm seems to have went into hiding. To me that says scummy.

I don't know if this is my suspicion of ZZZZAaaaaaaaaaaappp talking or if this is a slip by him:
He says there is evidence in the story for a townie killer. Ok, I get that and find it reasonable given the mod.
Working backwards he could easily have come to that conclusion from having his mafia team not reveal the kill flip at all. Thoughts?
 
So I just went through CDM's post history...and I don't know, as a player I really don't get a feel from him either way. Feels like he posted a lot without actually contributing much other than raising this controversy about his vt claim. I'd uncertain about him, and I will be uncertain about him until he dies, so I'd like that to happen earlier rather than later so I can decrease the number of things I'm concerned about.
 
You are correct, I was wondering if youd know what it was given that youve not played mafia with us before.
Your posts are being goofy with colour tags, or my browser (chrome) hates you.

Also thanks for answering earlier numbers, I couldn't remember if you had placed a vote again or not and I'm too distracted to go back and check.
 
Announcement: To all players: I made a mistake handing out roles in this game. I was not explicit in all cases that role usage is accomplished by PMing me or posting in the QT for those players who have one to post in. As a result, one of the new players PM'd another player. I am considering how to either penalize the one side or give a bonus to the other side to correct the damage.

The most important thing is that all players need to be aware that to use a power you have, you need to pm me how you would like to use it and/or post it in a QT thread if you have access to one

Has your silence changed what you think of Gwaihir's silence?

You too? I've already answered questions like this in a couple other places. Also, are you sure about this? I'm not sure you've even read all my posts. I'd like to see you go through each my posts and tell me which of my posts belong to "established conversations." More importantly, which ones don't.

Re: Gwaihir - I am and was inclined to think he was not faking it. Why would he? Seems like an odd thing to fake.

Re: the rest - There are a lot of people to read, a lot of posts to go through. My initial read on you is a gut, and not something I can back up with evidence just yet. I mainly wanted to see how you'd react to being hypothetically shot, considering our discussion of it yesterday.
 
There doesn't seem to have been any other effects from Gwaihir's silencing has there? Other than the obvious unable to post for 24 hours. Now Caluin Graye seems to have gotten "silenced." Is it possible they are passing this malady among themselves? Or if an action triggers the silencing, or if it is the result of a nefarious act by no-goodniks.

Is there an instance of a virus or bacterial infection in the stories anyone can remember? I'm curious if The White or The Red had some kind of story related infection to deal with. (Just brainstorming)

Nothing like that that I can remember, but honestly it's been a very long time since I read the books.
 
Oh, and I'll quote what Goryani pointed out myself and save you all the trouble, since I went to go see what I said to see how he interpreted it the way he did. :)

#234



#355



#491



I'll just let you all read these and see if you agree with Goryani's interpretation.


I'm not sure I really see what Gory is on about.

I really don't like post 491 though.

Do you think the silence is a town power role or a mafia power role? Do you think someone would use that role on themselves / in the case of mafia a team mate?
 
I am going to head to bed shortly and almost 0 chance of me being awake at days end (damn games ending / starting at 6:30 am). My scum list atm includes CDM (the claim and his play has been sort of off), Goryani (Gut feeling, especially based on his defense of CDM's VT claim - if CDM is scum like I suspect I think Gory is scum too), Coju (setting up the whole BA / stegs connection and then going very quiet today), Philli (coming strong out of the gates against stegs despite not giving any evidence that he believed it in D1) and Zauper (the whole mafia would know if a kill was stopped by a doc / roleblocker / bulletproof).

I was tempted to vote for Zauper and probably would have where it not for Drixx's announcement. In light of that announcement (and based on his posts in thread) I think there is a good chance that Zauper is the person that made the mistake.

That leaves Coju, Philli, CDM and Gory. I will knock out Gory because my main reason for suspecting him is based on a link with CDM and thus it would make more sense to lynch CDM first. Philli I am not sure about, on the one hand his attack against kestegs felt premeditated on the other hand I am not sure a scum would put there neck out that far. Coju I would like to see a bit more from before I place a vote, which leaves me with
