Re: The Don S. Davis memorial Stargate mafia game.
FalconGK - (post 79). Ugh numerical questions. No, not being bothered with that. You can make do with this reply: What I've said from the start is Day one is a guessing game. You can't spot scum on day one - anyone who says they can is a liar. It's all conjecture and feelings and nothing more than that. At least be honest enough to admit that.
And "we have 48 hours ... don't have time to sit and twiddle our thumbs" is a contradiction in terms. 48 hours is a lot of time. If you use it wisely. My view is something important is more likely to be missed if someone is posting too much. They're swamping you with non-relevent drivel. I'd rather have one or two posts to scrutnise than a dozen where you think "Ugh not them again" and skip/skim it. Or in my case, I add all the posts together in one huge wall of text.
Ah ultimabeam (post 81) if you're going to lynch boogy based on him misplacing a name, you'll be next in line for giving me an improptu gender reassignment.
Points for being honest though and saying we have to pick someone and you're choosing not on strong evidence.
Post 82 - now I didn't see this as important on first read, I went back to it when it was quoted later in 110. Are you saying you're a power role boogyman? Or that you are a bomb that takes out other people if you're lynched?
Marahumm (post 84) - Your posts are so full of mistakes it's getting suspicious.
I posted on post 61 that I'm up, need to read and will be back later (BBL). Which I was with post 70. You didn't prod me into posting - because frankly no one is up to the task of making me do anything I don't want to. I'd said I'd make a considered post and I did. If you think 70 (and this) is insubstantial well ...
I don't make a post in 10 minutes. I do have other things to do. But hey, at least *I* do my own research and don't crib of everyone else.
Now I'm TELLING you this. I will not post on your demand. You'll get posts from me when I'm good and ready. Not before. You don't like that; lynch me.
Oh and here's an idea for you; I'm sure there's been previous games where people weren't allowed to post/had posting limited in some way.
Leopold - I'm direct that's all my posts were. Additionally I have no interest in your underwear; post it in OT, I'm sure Dredd will be thrilled. Incidentally, that's the type of unimportant stuff that gets posted when people insist on frequent postings (and post 90 was hardly a stunning contribution either).
Human Replicators rather than standard Replicators. Check out them probing the team in one episode and Fifth cloning Carter. Let's remember the Replicators were considered a bigger threat to the Asgard than the Goa'uld.
(Post 86) - I have to admit I don't remember Atlantis/later SG1 that well. The Oni bored me rigid and Ip referred O'Neill. I honestly don't recall Replicators in Atlantis, so I must have missed that series completely.
Oh Noodle (post 89) no please not Occam's. Next you'll be onto Pandoras Box and Murphy's Law. Ugh. Reasoning please, not tired cliche's. The simplest answer is we're all pro-town and I'm pretty sure that isn't the case judging by the dead body last night.
I'd thank you for the vote of support but those posts don't seem like you. Lacking their usual odd-ness.
post 100 - this might sound a tad odd considering this is a themed Mafia (and the only reason I signed up incidentally) but should we get TOO immersed in the fact it is themed. I did like the affiliation idea. That anti-SGC human count could indicate that the 'plasma' weapon was infact the SGC plasma weapon and not the Wraith stun guns.
Post 102 made me go Gateworld The Lucian Alliance. Interesting that the first thing that popped up was Jackson locking up Vala (who was usually on the side of the SGC) to prevent her trading away a valuable and dangerous resource. Ties nicely into the affiliation idea from Goryani (100).
Got to say post 107/108 regards Falcon's headache meaning he's under contol and could have killed Zarniwoop seems plausible.
I don't like the constant "we're under pressure from lots of anti-town groups" coming from Boogy (108) and Noodle (89). Propaganda from these two? We're all thinking we can't win already; why aren't we focusing on the potential power roles and how they can HELP?
Ankeli - 110. If I don't have time to post something properly (EG post 70 or this post) then I tend to at least say "I'm alive". That's my style. I also use my big posts as a refresher rather than go through everything. I can't comment on how other people played in previous games (113) because I wasn't there and I'm far from inclined to go trawling through the thread.
I don't see the point of voting for people who aren't posting. Well, I do but why not let TC mod-kill them for inactivity? That we, we still get to keep our votes?
@Feysal (111)- and I'm still not convinced that Zarni was killed by a Wraith weapon. Those weapons stun, they don't kill. If they kill, they can't feed. So until TC confirms that "Wraith Plasma Weapon" was a typo, I'm going to take it that the weapon may have Wraith tech base but was the SGC-created Plasma weapons. So we could have a Wraith ally and a SGC enemy.
Feysal you say Falcon can ask you if you're mafia and you'll answer truthfully. But you don't actually answer that question.
114 - very handy post count, cheers Feysal. No offence, but I'm ignoring your reads. I do that myself.
Now 115 from Goryani had me go and check out "Wraith can't feed on just anyone" because I read it as "Wraith can't feed on every human" when I thought that was wrong. Now the fascinating thing I found was
The Seer where a previously imprisoned Wraith went to Atlantis to help with the fight against the Replicators. Now the SGC was responsible for the virus that caused the Replicators to attack the Wraith. But the Replicators cunning plan is to kill the humans on which the Wraith feed. Now is THAT devious enough for Gorny/TC? I think it could be.
More info here.
So we have a Wraith (or someone who is usually an enemy) being framed (per dead Zarni) who is actually here for help with the Replicators/other faction?
So yes, Zarni could have been an alien (116) in fact he could have been killed by a member of the SGC (anti town faction) who didn't like the idea of a Wraith on board.
Feysal I'm not sure why you think most town allies are human. That's not the case in the series. Teal'c isn't human and neither are the Nox, the Asgard etc. The Tok'ra do help the SGC sort of but clearly have their own agenda which over rules anyone else's interests. However, Colonel Frank Simmons is human as is Senator Robert Kinsey and neither were friendly to the SGC.
So Zarni could have been an alien, but it doesn't follow he was anti-town. (Although I appreciate that above I said his race could be usually.)
Orphans posts aren't reading right to me. (117/118/56) He's normally very good at research but here he's doing an ankeli and mara of "please can you go find this info for me". It doesn't sit right and I have to admit I don't like it from any of them. He really isn't seeming like himself.
And I note it was Orphan in post 56 who first mentioned 2/3 anti town roles. This has been picked up by Noodle (sort of in 29 with his Prophecy of Doom Proclamation) and boogy (83).
I'm don't like Goryani's post 121. Someone already has mentioned Occam's (Noodle) and someone else mentioned Gorny/TC being devious (can't find the post at the mo). Could Occam's be a code? Is Goryani asking Laarz if he want's a symbiot in order to survive? (As per Carter's father.)
Post 125 - thanks for the vote count Flip10thMan, although I see it's changed.
Post 126 - Even the Wraith ships use beaming technology to collect humans for food. Goryani can you link to where you find Wraith killing weapons please?
Post 127 - Goryani are you fishing for roles?
Conclusion:
People who seem to be waaaaaaaaay out of character right now:
Noodle and Orphan
Others I wouldn't mind being lynched:
Goryani, Marahumm and Leopold
Yes, there's plenty of other candidates (the Trappist monks and people who post a lot without really saying anything) but those are my favourites right now.
I may not be able to vote later, so I'm going to do it now.
Vote Goryani
