I've been here that long??? *Checks*

Meta Mafia 2 non-spoiler: I feel like all people watching from the side-lines should pick one of the non-assigned players and start commenting on the game as if they were (preferably with avatar changes too)!

jimbobmacdoodle

Urrgghh... Still hating D1. Nothing changed there. So 2/3 of SDK, jimbob and vicarin are scum. Discuss Vytron at this point might claim scum, but I don't believe fake-scum-claims are within freezeblade's meta? Anyway, I don't see why you would think this. I assume you chose us because all three of u...

Just in case you want it, here is Google's cached version of your avatar freezeblade.

Anyone who votes for people off of their confirmation post will get a vote from me, fair warning. Why haven't you voted for me then? Also the avatars changing is so confusing... *grumbles something else about D1* Guess I'll have to update mine at some point. @other-freezeblade, do you have a copy o...

I hate Day 1. I'm not sure what I've got much to say currently. <By the way, I'm not going to be too good at the role-playing - sorry freezeblade>. Judging by wam's eagerness, I should vote for him. Keenness to start is obviously a scummy trait: Vote wam I don't see much point in setup speculation a...

Congrats to you and your family, SDK!

I wish I had given garatron the human win condition. I considered doing it right when Sabrar was under fire, but decided that would be unfair to give it after players were under fire. LaserGuy figured out pretty much the entire human team by the second page, so props to him. I did warn you :P, but ...

jimbobmacdoodle

EBWOP: Also Garatron were unlucky to have both newbies on their side, with the only experienced member getting outed D1.

jimbobmacdoodle

Thanks for running the game heuristically_alone! I think town were a little bit too favoured by the PM discussions D1 in the end, as it outed both Mercora (leading to their loss), and two, possibly all three of Garatron. I still don't know what I would have done differently with my ability. I think ...

And it looks like after all that that heury did go to bed.

Vote: Mark

Just to be sure. Madge, come and join us on the over-the-top hammering party!

Madge, hammer so we can see if your vote counts. Someone else vote after her.

Sorry Mark.

Guess I'll wait then for Madge to hammer (I'm going to bed now). If she hasn't when I get up, I'll hammer, or someone else can if they are around.

jimbobmacdoodle

Okay, thanks. Guess I'll message the same three of you something tonight again.

I'll hammer before going to bed later, if there are no objections by then.

Vote: Mark_Cangila

L-1, someone please hammer.

If you don't mind, I'd like LaserGuy's and Vicarin's responses first.

jimbobmacdoodle

No, sorry, I really don't have any other powers. I seriously considered trying to play vanilla town (i.e. never mentioning names, trying to be the kill target etc) with this unless something obvious came up that made it useful. My best theory was that it would just allow me to know if I'd been roleb...

jimbobmacdoodle

Vicarin, LaserGuy, Madge, do you think anybody else should claim a name before we lynch Mark? If not, I say we just get on with it.

jimbobmacdoodle

This is probably not going to get me anywhere, but trying to think about it neutrally, there must be some reason for people to want to claim their name. Otherwise, why would people? Me saying claim your name isn't exactly the most persuasive of arguments, especially based on the reactions so far. Th...

jimbobmacdoodle

Well, if everyone else abstains then the proposition passes. :lol: I did kind of already object to it above... At this point, I don't really know what else to say. I'd try and draw up a reads list, but I really don't see the point with the claims as they are. As far as I'm concerned, the likely set...

Meta Mafia II XKCDians have once again been sampling the ju-ju-juice, and have forgotten who they are! I know, I know, we could just check our pockets, but where is the fun in that? Instead, as is tradition, we will lynch until everyone's true identity is known! Let the lynching begin! Meta-mafia: ...

jimbobmacdoodle

ninja: That post from jimbob feels very wrong to me, however. I agree, it feels like he's trying to "do" a lot of things while I feel there's probably not all that much left to do. I think the game is probably solved (lynch Mark, then Sabrar, unless Mark is Illaman, in which case then fre...

jimbobmacdoodle

I genuinely don't know how I can prove it, because my ability still doesn't make a huge amount of sense even to me. I'd prefer to not be shot over it, since I know I'm Human. If somebody fancied Neighborizing me with another Human, I'd love to be able to chat. Maybe the two of us could come up with ...

jimbobmacdoodle

Whilst I think that plytho and freezeblade are likely telling the truth, there are one or two things niggling that don't quite add up: Plytho, why didn't you give yourself chat with freezeblade again last night? I feel like there was something else I was going to say on that topic, but I can't think...

jimbobmacdoodle

This is going too fast for me to follow at work, so you may have said this, but to be clear plytho, I assume you did target Mark last night and got a definitive not Illaman result?

jimbobmacdoodle

Confirming that all three recipients of my message used the correct code word, so they definitely got the message. I asked the win-con question to completely nail down the point about indies. I expected to get the answer I did, but I just wanted it confirming. It basically narrows the possible indie...

LaserGuy wrote:I was thinking about a scenario where Garatron!freezeblade roleblocks his chat buddy to fake the confirmation.

Let's clarify this one:

If the Mercora cop failed due to e.g. a roleblocker, how would the result differ to other results?

jimbobmacdoodle

Alien Warfare: Well, this has got rather interesting. I'm assuming that freezeblade's claimed buddy will be outed very shortly, which should make things easy for us humans. I did send a message as stated in thread. I proposed a crazy gambit where I claim one of the two neutral alien factions...

jimbobmacdoodle

Skimmed the posts leading up to Mark's claim, and there was more pressure on him than I remember them being. Not much still, but enough that would encourage a newbie to claim, especially after Sabrar's comment saying that he could prove that Mark wasn't Human. Clearly Garatron!Mark couldn't claim Ga...

jimbobmacdoodle

Still thinking about the claim, but here are my initial thoughts on the possible scenarios: Human!Mark makes no sense, since there was no real reason to false claim when he did (to-do: review the circumstances leading to Mark's claim). Human!freezeblade also makes no sense. The only reason to lie fo...

jimbobmacdoodle

Right, and you don't know wich (if any) are fake? I like the code word system! I do not, no. I do expect the other recipients to reveal their words at some point, in particular Vicarin who explicitly said he fake claimed a name. But it can wait. I like the code word system! Good thing that I drew a...

jimbobmacdoodle

All of those who claimed a name were on my list, i.e. Me, LaserGuy, Vicarin and Madge.

jimbobmacdoodle

Quick check-in to say that the only thing I have to say following last night is "apple". Those who received my message last night should know what I mean. Feel free to withhold your respective code words until you are ready.

How was Maven scummy D2? How does that contrast with his D1 play?

Looking at deadline time, I'll be fast asleep, so happy if others want to hammer when I'm in bed. Requesting mod-prod on Mark @Mark - adding to the suggestions made earlier without telling you explicitly what to do, if I was in your position, I'd be looking to use the redirect to somehow further you...

jimbobmacdoodle

Does anybody else have anything to say, or shall I vote Liri and somebody else hammer (or vice versa)?

jimbobmacdoodle

Continuing from where I was with my rereads, but probably less in-depth from now on. Vicarin: (semi-skimmed) Notes: Opening post sounds like he wants to discourage discussing the town win-con. However, finds Sabrar setup spec interesting and digs at him about it. Backs down once Sabrar suggests mult...

jimbobmacdoodle

I don't mean a fake name as in a human name for an alien, I mean if I randomly gave you a first and last name in English. Does that do anything at all? Also, what would happen if I said my human name was the human name for someone else? Like, if Sabrar decided to give me his human name for some biz...

jimbobmacdoodle

@jimbob: so if I gave you a fake name, you wouldn't know until the day's end, but then you'd know because I wouldn't be on the day end list? I don't know whether fake names are included or not. I asked heuristically_alone and got No Comment, but I assume they are included, as otherwise this effecti...
