Barnett is this your first game of mafia?

My first on Ratz. I've played at RatSkep, where things are different Is that a vote for Mayor on me, Gonzo?

Thanks for all the Mayor votes. If this was RatSkep I would make a speech with a bunch of lolcats, etc. but I will spare you.

Which players are you most familiar with from games at RatSkep?

That is interesting linus, especially after what shizzle said in the sign up thread.

I don't understand this post. What did MattShizzle say in the signup thread that makes it interesting? His first two posts seem like ordinary chit-chat and his third one was:

I don't like being vanilla town because I usually get lynched. I have no way of avoiding a lynch other than outing as a special.

I don't get it, considering it was before the roles were assigned.

Good morning. I always find it helpful to know where in the world the other players are, to get a sense of when it's reasonable for people to be absent because of working, sleeping, etc. I'm in the Atlantic time zone, one hour ahead of the Mod.

Sometimes people just don't always feel like posting in an internet mafia game. I mostly just take that into account.

Howdy !

On the first day, I think I'm just going to vote a no show unless someone posts something really scummy.


@@vote ob@@

this looks like an excuse not to scumhunt which is anti-town. ##vote rc##

It was just a way to get more participation (myself included). I've always sucked at scumhunting on day 1. If you see my previous games, I hardly have any posts on day 1 and 2. I just decided to be a bit more proactive this time.

GM Edit: Fixed quotes.

Business. I like r.c.'s threat to vote for non-posters. However, I think most people will post if they are able to. Maybe we got lucky with Ksen last game, but I wasn't around to see that.

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding the combination of "I like r.c.'s threat..." and "However, ...". Do you mean that you think that though the threat is unnecessary, it has a townish feel? Or something else?

^^^ ETA Messed up the quotes.

Athene's driveby was unhelpful. Can't get much of a read on her from two words. ##unvote rc####vote athene##

Mantis
UT
Irre
Amok (:pissed:)

[BarnettNewman]

I am running with the assumption that playing styles don't translate. I am surprised, for example that Mantis came out with a vote so quickly. She's a very tentative player in RatSkep.

[BarnettNewman]

I forgot Magicziggy. Sorry MZ

[BarnettNewman]

... and r.c.

[MattShizzle]

So far mostly just noise. No idea who could be scum yet.

Fair enough. I was thinking more along the lines of when people say so-and-so isn't answering questions, it's helpful to know that it's the middle of the night where they are.

[BarnettNewman]

I have a problem with low/no posters as they muddy the waters and waste time, especially in no PM games.

[MattShizzle]

I'd rather have people not post unless it's meaningful rather than have to go through 4 pages of useless crap when I wake up.
