What I think we need to discuss is why the mafia chose to kill Silver and Tiberius? I have an explanation for tiberius but I can't think of one for Silver Rusher. Perhaps they questioned the randomness of GH's detective selection process and considered a kind of patronage?

Even if we can't learn much from this, questioning this each round will make the mafia think carefully about who they kill...and then perhaps even that can give us clues. The more the better.

I know :2thumbsup:

I was thinking about that osmium chain thing. Tiberius was a detective in one game and I don't know if SR was or not.

I see the invisiblity is gone Sasaki. Yet another interesting development

Myst-eee-rious *wiggles fingers*

We really need a way to get "lurkers" to post. It is unfair, and it also detracts from the game.

I was going to wait until tomorrow (time zones remember) and then post a list of whose lurking. Yeah...a list...that'll show em.

GH's is currently pmming, therefore, I think he could be answering a question from the mafia.

Go in the chatroom and you'll see what he's doing Ignoramus.

What is he doing, I don't have the JavaScript.

No he's pming econ21. I guess regular members can't see that. Hmm.

Unfortunatly my chatroom is broken :(

I just love how suspicious everyone is in here :grin: I swear these games are bad for your character.

We were testing how much mods can see of the details of who's being PM'd. It seems others don't see as many details as we do Sasaki. No PM was sent to econ, we were just testing.



I hearby promise not to use my mod powers in mafia games

as if it needed saying...

Cheater Cheater not fair I can't see that CHEATER:laugh4:

Actually it was just a test to see whether mods could see who we were PMing.

Pretty scary results if you're normal.

Did you click the pm link through his profile? Did you use the autofill?

I can't know who you're pm'ing if you type the name in manually. We should test under what conditions mods can see whose message you are reading.

That's what we were doing in the chat. I'm not sure it makes any odds since we aren't going to do it, and I'd rather this thread didn't turn into a discussion of the vbulletin mechanics.

That's true we're getting off track.

So are you a mafioso, Myrddraal?

A. Is not in the towns benefit in the long term, we need more substance
B. Makes me look suspicious :p since this is what happened in the Godfather

---

i posted so little as there is so little to go on at the time that i voted, i had a choice of drisos for the reason you gave i.e. a post hinting that he may be a mafioso or anyone else for no reason whatsoever, so i voted for drisos! im new to this game so am not quite up to all this analysis!

@ Sasaki - do you already know the answer? ~;p

AHA! AVOIDING THE QUESTION, EH?

Hm... several people have mentioned the osmium, but no one has voted based on it yet. A bit of research reveals that osmium is the heaviest element, and is used in several applications, including fingerprinting and munitions. Therefore I'd guess one of the mafia is one of the following:

1. A chemist
2. A law-enforcement officer
3. A munitions afficionado (possibly WWII era)
4. A high-schooler who just learned the periodic table

Number three from above is of particular interest to me. Obviously there will be a number of WWII-era amateur historians on this board, but having done some forum searches by name, one person here seems to stick out more than the others.

Vote: discovery1

Hey, buddy. I'm from Michigan too. :2thumbsup:

Im pretty sure the osmium is a plant to get us barking up the wrong tree (as isaid earlier) its just a little too easy

Hmm that's an interesting thought. Voting for Ice everytime is a good alibi.
And I'm pretty sure he knows the periodic table. I'm not sure about munitions officionado. And the first 2 aren't right there's my two cents.

It does seem a bit of an obvious thing to drop in there. Scattering a few red herrings about may be the order of the day for the mafia.

I'm going to abstain from voting for now but I want to make a few comments. I've been in the mafia twice already, so I know what tactics have worked and which ones haven't. In the first few mafia games, the posters who have posted the most have garnered the most suspicion. Mafiosi tend to bandwagon, though when I was one I tried to avoid this when possible. The best tactic I found to work was voting every round with some decent reasoning behind the vote. Realize that many innocents aren't going to 'try' to be innocent because they feel they don't have to. The mafia tends to work extremely hard towards looking innocent because they know they have to.

Posting so that it is not too little or too much has gotten me through four mafia games with only two total votes against me. A solid mafia strategy is to keep alive posters who have already been deemed suspicious by the mob but have survived a few rounds. It may be a bit difficult but perhaps we can use this to our advantage. Finally, the mafia benefit from little to no discussion so this is all very good. Obviously, it becomes extremely difficult for the mafia to avoid the execution as the game winds down. We have to keep a look out for good liars though because Sigurd was excellent at defending himself in Sasaki's game. I know that I've been fairly pro-mafia in the past, but after finally getting my mafia victory in the Godfather I'm now committed to finding the killers. I'm also putting any future games where I'm the mafia at risk, but it is a risk I'm willing to take.:2thumbsup:

Well, disco is an aerospace engineering in which means he had to take Chemistry in college or he took AP Chem in high school. Either way, he has an extensive knowledge. Good idea.

That's weak, I took AP chem in high school. Never heard of any Osmium. Actually wait, isn't that the chemical from System Shock II you use to research the monkey brain?

Sasaki...

Out of all the people, you are calling me a "thief"? Wasn't it you who pm'ed me with my role called "hobo"?

Gah... :no: (I hate the label "thief"...)

Anyway, there is no good reason for anyone to be cut from the Fan Club yet.

Abstain for now... mayhap I'll take a stance if something comes up...
