Hello guys, I think this thread is good for remembering some good rules, like these ones:

Rule nº 1 : Sasaki is always guilty (Sasaki)

Rule nº 2 : Vote:Sasaki (Ichigo)

Which rules do you have?

24 is one of the more disliked ways of playing the game, and was the reason why WoGs were invented. If the mafia just lurked and allowed the town to kill themselves off, the game would stagnate and die. The skill and fun lies in being active and still winning.

30. Put Andres on ignore.

31. Lynch Sasaki. Just in case.

32. Drisos is usually confirmed innocent. Still, don't listen to him.

33. When you're winning the battle vs. town, there's no other way of losing your honour than cuddling up with the other families. Go for it.

35. unvote a tie so you commit suicide. When you are dead, post fake PMs and get GH lynched, then do the same for Drisos, and watch as both townies vote each other and the only remaining mafioso does nothing but watch as he wins.

36. keep posts short

37. Look what number you are on before posting new rules

:laugh4: hey i guessed right on starting at 35 :laugh4:

I can explain it.

In Capo II(see the thread), I was supposed to be a wiseguy. In fact I was one, and got recruited for one family. The fact is that I betrayed the town, they opened me the door to their mafia.
He got angry becuase I revealed everything.

42. Be active. Dont pull a Motep and leave the game right in the middle without notice.

52. Before giving your word on something, consider what that actually means. If you know you won't be able to go through with something, use softer terms. One's integrity should be valued and can be hard to regain.

59. Lynching Caius late in the game for 'lurking' is always a very, very bad idea for the town's sake. And whoever is directing it is almost assuredly guilty.

I'd take exception to that, except for the fact that PK did in fact betray me and Glenn.

pevergreen
06-01-2008, 11:16
I had hosted it, as I wanted to do the write-ups ASAP, but realised too late the school doesnt let you access .rar files. So it was useless, I just never took it off. Ichigo then hacked my laptop and took the files! Half these posts arent even me anymore, just ichi..

rule 67: first turn lynches should always be the host. It will discourage Golden rule situations and can be funny.

Rules have lost quality.

I remember, back in the day, when rules where few and far between!

Hadn't read this in some time. Sasaki, you are absolutely correct about rule #45. It's so true it is scary.

Yes, there will be games where there are LOTS of pro-town roles, and if I don't have one, lynch me round one at my request.

Also, if I ever have a joker/actor role: I WILL NOT SABOTAGE THE GAME by pulling the "lynch me round one" schtick. I'll play along and give you guys a sporting chance and make it seem like I'm acting normally. I won't request to be lynched if I have a role which gives me a sudden unexpected win if I get lynched.

By the way, I appreciate the fact that you guys let me live more than halfway through a game. Pity it had to be that game.

Well TBH i think thats half the reason some people left beefy alone in GF3, its half the reason i defended you in inishmore...

Maybe i should modify the rule

Sasaki Kojiro

Yes, if I had to pick the rules that are actually rules it would be:

The real rule #1
8: When in doubt, fake some PMs.
13. Make sure said fake PMs are not made in a 5 minute time frame.
12: Convince people that you are innocent, even if you are.
27. "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer" -- Vito Corleone
38. There's no such thing as too much pm inbox space.
41. If Mafioso, build up a fake role from the onset. Reveal at appropriate moment.
45. If mafia, don't kill Sasaki. He's probably on your side, somehow.
51. Don't listen to the psychological warfare... If someone calls you a pure opportunist with no honor just rest easy with the knowledge that you will show them all.
52. Before giving your word on something, consider what that actually means. If you know you won't be able to go through with something, use softer terms. One's integrity should be valued and can be hard to regain.
65. Never assume the new player is harmless...
71. Reenk is Reenk
77. It's not personal, it's just business.
78. Winning isn't everything.
79. There are exceptions to every rule.
92. No matter how bad things are looking for your team, never give up.
106. If pizza offers himself in the first round lynch him... if pizza offers himself any round... lynch him...


A couple repeats, but still a good list.

135. Do what it takes to win.

I learnt not to do that in my first mafia game (and goes around and after it). It comes to a point that quality and standard comes essential to the game-room if you want to be respected by fellow players. Not saying I am respected, but since then, I learnt not to try to do that in order to try to improve myself as a member and a player.

I also had a run in with a couple of bad players who did the same, and I found out that I really disliked the tactics they used, both as a player and as a person, and other that the fact it caused in-thread situations, I got to see what others probably thought of me.

So I am trying to improve myself a game at a time.

So I am not sure if this rule has been done, but I will add it just incase.



136. If it is not clear, do your best to be respectful of other players and remember, a game is to have fun, not to win, as you can still have a laugh if you lose, you can't if you insult and disrespect other players.

Askthepizzaguy
11-29-2009, 21:14
Being nice? I can do that. How about death by chocolate?

If I ever get a chance to do murder descriptions again, I will probably kill people by giving them a box of 16 very, very, very tasty chocolates, and only one of them will be filled with fatal poison. It will still be completely delicious. I will tell them that they only have to worry about the one poisoned chocolate, and let them have a free taste of one of the un-poisoned chocolates. It will taste so good that they must have another. It's only fatal poison... there is a rather large chance of eating an unpoisoned chocolate, so it's worth the risk. Life is short, so why bother playing it safe? It's delicious chocolate, after all. Under the same reasoning, after they survive the second chocolate, they will be hooked and they have to have another one. By then it's still only a 1/14 chance of death, and that's the same number as Valentine's Day, and Valentine's day is the one where you give chocolate to your love. So obviously the odds are in your favor. You eat another chocolate. Mmm.... so good. Now there's 13 left... 13 is an unlucky number, so you grab that chocolate and you get ready to throw it away..... and then you decide it is too delicious and you eat it. Well, you're still here, and you survived the unluckiest chocolate, so you must be on a lucky streak. A one in twelve chance of dying? Bah, you're a manly man (or a womanly woman) and you're not afraid. You can chance it. 12 hours on a clock, 12 months in a year, 12 in a dozen... 12 is a nice number, so you bite into that fourth chocolate with full confidence, knowing you will survive. Lo and behold, you're still alive! Your mouth is in heaven, as a dribble of saliva runs down your chin. You wipe your chin, and continue... 11 remaining, might as well make it a nice round number. Chomp, chew chew chew.... pure ecstacy. You realize you are tempting fate now, but there's 10 whole chocolates left. You try to resist, but you cannot. 10 is a round number, but it's just a bit too round, after all... 9 would be better. Munch munch... and you realize that in mathematics, the number 9 is a Lucky Number. You can't possibly die with a lucky number. So you eat the chocolate. It melts in your mouth, and you're on Cloud Nine. But you realize that in Chinese culture, the number 8 is also very lucky, so you quickly gobble that one. In a frenzy, you realize that the number 7 is perhaps the luckiest number of them all! So you shove the next chocolate in your mouth and accidentally swallow it before you really get a chance to taste it. Disappointed, you sulk for just a moment, until you come up with the perfect plan to cheer yourself up... what if you put TWO chocolates in your mouth at once? Wouldn't that be grand??? Well before you have second thoughts, you shove both chocolates in and relish the sweet, sweet, awesome flavor. You must be dead already, because you are in heaven. And then, after several long moments, you realize the chocolates are gone. You lick your chocolate covered fingers and look at the 4 left remaining. You're still alive, should you tempt fate? With 3 unpoisoned chocolates remaining, you OBVIOUSLY have to eat at least one more. How could you live with yourself knowing that the perfect piece of chocolate was being eaten by ants, who are having the time of their tiny little lives? No ant deserves chocolate this good. Heck, if this chocolate was covered in ants, you'd still eat it. So you pop another one in your mouth and just let it sit there, slowly melting. You close your eyes and lay down, clutching the box of chocolates in your hands, making sure no one else can have any. You feel like you're floating.... on a puffy cloud. You almost drift off to sleep, but you can feel that there's only a little bit of chocolate taste left in your mouth, so you reach for another one... there's 3 left. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, take a candy before you croak. Never, ever, let it go. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Ah, so you take the chocolate and tuck it in your mouth.... BUT WAIT!!! WHAT IF YOU DIED??? Then you'd never have a chance to taste the other two chocolates!!! You simply cannot allow that to happen, so you shove the remaining two candies into your mouth. All 3 chocolates in your mouth at once.

Mmmm.... fatally delicious.

Then I walk into the room and tell you that none of the chocolates were actually poisoned, and I shoot you between the eyes with my silenced Beretta.
