Please explain this a bit more. At first blush, you appear to be saying that you gave night orders and were blocked. If you want your statements to be read in a different way, you should say so now.Quote:

You don't have to have given night orders to have been blocked.Quote:

Ok, I'll amend my previous statement...
"Because Sasaki could just be an innocent man who likes to be beaten by prostitutes."

Now TinCow, if I'd made it up I'd be lynched tomorrow when no one received a message.Quote:

Vote: Andres
A lot of reading in these games...hope I don't get addicted or my social life will really suffer.
Hrm. An unusually interesting first round. I don't understand the point of blocking actions that don't happen. In basketball you can't block a shot when no one shoots, so it'll be interesting to see what the point of this game mechanic is. Or if Sasaki just made it up for some reason.
On the first turn, the player who is the prostitute wouldn't know who to block and would have to guess.Quote:

No. Precision is important here. He said he would "like to see evidence" not "need". You can think someone is "perfectly innocent", heck you can even believe they are, but since you know you are not infallible it is common sense to want evidence. I didn't think the evidence was necessary as I explained.Quote:

Vote: pevergreen
Throwing a vote on a new player because he's trying to be active? Shame. :no:
Ha ha ha! You must understand Kukri!
Actually - I was quite enjoying simply browsing through the thread and attempting to see patterns in speech and ideas.
Now that I have been asked to stand out in the open, I shall remain, and I will also share a thought.
I was cowed in Capo II by the malevolence of Sasaki - who appeared to be dogging anyone he could shed bad light upon.
This seems to be a popular tactic of his, and often leads to the lynching of townies - unfortunately - even when Sasaki is pro-town.
In every game I play, spectating or participating, the first thing I do is try to determine whether Sasaki is guilty or innocent. That may be a compliment to him.
And so far in this - Sasaki is the only player whom I would even guess as an innocent.
This is because I see he had a fair opportunity to pick at Privateer Kev, a new player, who although he reasoned fairly against Sasaki - when I did so in Capo II - it made no difference.
However, instead of tearing him to the ground in any way possible, Sasaki allowed things to slide.
He appears more temperate and less wilfully destructive this game - and I think now I am more inclined to believe his word provided he gives reason also.
----
I am suspicious so far of one thing. Tiberius of the Drake and his random vote.
I think we need to start adding a tally here, so that players can't jump on bandwagons in total anonymity.
---
As for Seamus - I don't see it as totally strange that someone with over 4000, and just as many PMs of Mafioso experience would be taken out immediately.
I would guess him to be an exceptional hunter after Capo II!
---
And finally, my vote is reserved until I see someone worthy of lynching suspicion.
Let's just hope Sasaki doesn't twist my words.. He has a gift not unlike those people who find satanic messages in Beatle songs..
(Edited to make more sense.)

I don't like what you've done so far. You make a post earlier noting Shlin's odd remark, but don't vote. Since then, you've been online, yet you apparently don't seem to find anything very interesting, since you are deciding to lurk. Got anything to say?

I never liked her implying that someone can only place a block if the target is doing something. She is a veteran and should know better. If I hear a satisfactory answer, or see someone acting more guilty, then I will re-consider my vote.
I was working on a vote tally when khaan put his up and I don't want my work to go to waste, so here is mine. Two things though. 1.) Andres is not playing and the vote towards him doesn't count. 2.) I was confused by the whole strawberry thing. Please use people's screen names for the sake of us noobs. :beam:

Right, like I said, I probably am in need of some sleep right now. And for the "noobs", Strawberry=Ichigo, at least so goes the pun from the show. Hence, I tend to use it in an opening spam vote against Ichigo sometimes. However, I'll keep my vote on him for the time being, because I'm very curious as to his quietness. He didn't even open the game with his customary "vote:sasaki" like he always does. Hence, I'm rather curious as to what he's up to.Quote:

And I would also like to retract my suspicions of Tiberius, I thought two others had already voted for Beefy further back - I was wrong - and his small participation can give me no reason for suspicion.
Oh, and Gaius - I am not as zealous as some - see Kommodus or Ajaxfetish for reference!
But I do find it very, very telling to going into a player's profile and reveal all previous posts in one column.
Although nobody listened to me, I discovered about three Mafiosos in Capo, including Joe Monks, (If I remember the name correctly), using that simple method.
Anyway - I will return later - and no, no vote as of yet, but that is reasonable I think.
That's not what she was implying at all. She was referring to what I understand to be normal policy in these games: if a role blocker blocks someone who wasn't doing anything in the first place, the target isn't usually informed of the fact that they were blocked. It's perfectly acceptable for Andres to do it, it does seems out of the ordinary so it draws some attention. In any case, even if saying that was somehow suspicious, I'm the one who brought it up first.Quote:

Privateer:
The reason for the votes is simple -- people don't realy put a lot of effort into their responses until they think they're likely to get the chop. THEN you get details, passion, statements etc.
Early on this means little, as their is no means of cross checking against subsequent posting claims, votes, etc. But unless you ramp up the pressure and force discussion, Mafiosi get to make nice little unexplained "abstain" votes while sharpening their stilettos for the next night.
You gotta make 'em sweat a bit.
I didn't imply that, I said that. It was a comment about the game rules, don't read too much into it. I get some veteran status because I've played alot, not because I'm a brilliant analyzer or liar. Post your role PM, Priva. I'll show you mine if you show me yours. :beam:Quote:

You know, I thought it was a wild accusation - but Pevergreen in total truth does not contribute anything of intellectual note to these games.
He simply tries to kill off his school buddies from Brisbane, and other people whom he has a grudge against since previous games.
Kev, I don't see anything substantial with this material you are hanging on Proletariat - although I think you are doing it in imitation of Sasaki's interrogation technique!
Very well done so far however!
By the way, GeneralHankerchief, what meant you - when you said you didn't like this?
In that there is not enough speech and reasoning? Too much spam?
Thank you. It helps to watch good players...Quote:

(aren't you meant to fabricate some logical sounding reason for voting me?)
It seems like an explanation about game mechanics is required:
Everybody who sleeps with the prostitute will get a pm, it doesn't matter if that person was going to perform a night action or not. The prostitute also gets a pm with the results of the night actions.
In fact, the pm to the player concerned and the mentioning of strange sounds in the public thread, is just me having some fun :jester:
Some interesting developments, a host who sends useless PMs around, Sasaki makes a claim that may not be a lie, prole gets the axe for acting too suspicious after getting two votes in round one, that was a bit too much for the mafia girl, eh? My feeling spoke again and said your accusations of Sasaki were meant to get him lynched instead of yourself, might be wrong but it's more than I usually have in round one so my vote stays. The PM exchange thing was also quite ridiculous which underlines my suspicion.
damn this game goes fast...
I guess I should make an appearance to show my support for Andres’ game. 8 pages of posts take out a chunk of office time, but hey, this is mafia.
The post I found most interesting is this one:
Nice Sasaki… It brought a smile to my face on a rather hectic morning.Quote:

This tells me that we could be dealing with players expecting to be investigated on the first night. Now, if we could imagine ourselves as detectives, who would we investigate first? It would be the players we think would be hard to detect by other means.
My short list would be (in no particular order):

I should vote one of those I listed to show that I believe my own reasoning, but I think I will go a little crazy and vote: Husar.. just to see how much trouble I will get.:beam:
First of all, I've said it numerous times. its "pever". No capital.

Now about you glen:

Holding grudges, IMO, is against the spirit of the game.
As for non-intellectual posts, at this point in the game, I have no amazing ability to pick out mafia, I'm not a good mafia hunter. Throughout the game, I sometimes get hints. I dont believe I've ever lead the town to a mafia member.
This is about as long as my posts go. I manage to say everything I want in a short amount of text.
That'll do.
That was a very begrudging reply, Pevergreen.

Sigurd, you bring an obvious and choice method of arousing discussion to the thread.
Who must be investigated and discovered as a priority - and I must say that I agree quite heartily with your list - apart from of course wishing that I were first, that my innocence may be proved.
As for the prostitute block.. I understood Andres as having sent a PM to Sasaki about the prostitute as a joke - therefore we can't know for sure whether Sasaki was actually blocked - or if the prostitute actually blocked anyone.
Please clarify this Andres before anybody takes it as evidence.
----
As for why there was only one kill, the most apparent reason to me is pure inactivity - considering there is only a strict number who are posting here currently.
Not as a joke actually. Like I said, anybody who gets visited by the prostitute, will get a pm. It doesn't matter if that player was going to perform a night action or not.Quote:

Just so nobody misunderstands.

I also believe that the people on my list would expect to be investigated early if not in the first round, including me.

Is this list based on experience at playing mafia only ? or something more ?
I have an inherent distrust of sasaki probably just from the only mafia game i have played.
So if we were expecting 3 kills and only 1 happened at least 1 'mafia' didn't hand any orders in (one character can kill or investigate) so should we be looking suspicously at inactivity ?
I'm a man of my word; Glenn spoke up, so:
unvote: Glenn for now, and I'll join CR's bandwagon:
vote: GeneralHankerchief
Hmm... 37 players, 20 lynch voters. Quiet folks had best speak up and take a voting stand soon, lest they be suspects tomorrow.
Why is everyone voting for GH?
Just because. Some people are pretending this first round of votes is more significant than it is. But it's the same crap shoot all first rounds are
this is based on no in game evidence, I just think he may want more time to iron out the rules to KotR's sucessor...
Vote:TinCow
also, he's on sigurds list, which I have to trust for now....

Nobody is paying attention to the vote.
Now before GeneralHankerchief is killed off by a few shameless bandwagoning suspects - let's ask ourselves why he deserves death.
If GeneralHankerchief dies, and he was a pro-townie or a townie, then the Mafia will have succeeded in killing possibly the two most experienced, knowledgeable players in the first round.
That will mean a large step towards defeat, Taormina!
So now I have reason to cast a vote - in order to save the life of an excellent player before he is bandwagoned suspiciously from the game.
Vote: CrazedRabbit
Like most criminals, you have avoided the limelight briskly and successfully started a bandwagon with Kukrikhan why, taking into account my reasons for GeneralHankerchief's usefulness, would you want him dead as a random vote?
I too can not figure out why GH has gotten votes. No one's explanation has satisfied me.Quote:

2.) I do not want the detective to publicly reveal if we turn up innocent. He can not reveal himself so early in the game. I don't know about you but I am happy to be lynched if it protects the detective. If one of us comes up guilty, I am sure the detective will use his best judgement on whether to reveal or not.
So Proletariat, I have laid my cards out for all to see. Will you do the same?
Sure. I'm a townie. Investigate away, detective.
