Askthepizzaguy Mafia III [Concluded]

Askthepizzaguy Mafia III

Game rules:

You all receive the same standard townie role PM, unless you're a gangster. Therefore, quoting your role PM is pointless.

Screenshots are not allowed and also pointless.

Each Day cycle, you will discuss and vote, if you wish, by placing a wager, like so:

Wager: 10 chips on Askthepizzaguy

If you wish to remove your wager, you must FOLD, so please do so like this:

Fold: Askthepizzaguy

Only then may you place another wager. Otherwise, your new wager is illegal and won't be counted.

You may wager on only one lynch candidate at a time. The candidate with the most total chips wagered on them will be lynched.

In the event of a tie, I will personally ensure that a townie dies. You cannot lynch mobsters with tied votes, period.

Even if you happened to lynch two mobsters with a tied vote, I'd shoot a townie instead and both gangsters will live.

(So if you know what's good for you, DO NOT CREATE TIED VOTES. Note: This part isn't a rule, just sound advice.)

You will lose your wager if the candidate is not lynched.

You will lose your wager if the candidate is lynched and was a townie.

You will have your wager returned to you in full, if the lynchee was a mobster and you wagered on them to die.

Each round, there is a betting limit. Betting above that limit will not count.

It is legal to bluff when you are wagering, by placing wagers above the amount of chips that you have remaining. However, it should be noted that such wagers are completely null and void.

What that means is that, if you wager more than your total number of chips remaining, that wager is completely meaningless and has no actual effect whatsoever, not on the tally, and not on your personal finances at the end of the round. You have been warned.

You all begin with 100 chips and there is no way to gain more chips than the ones you begin with.

In the event any player has zero chips remaining at the end of a round, and have no chips returned to them, they die.

In the event that the remaining mobsters have more total chips than the remainder of the town side, they win. Doesn't matter how many of you are left. They can out-bet you every round and therefore, they can outvote you and prevent all lynches. That's GAME OVER.

If you fail to post during the game for two straight voting Days, you'll be replaced by Visorslash.

Day One begins now, and ends after everyone who signed up has posted at least once.
That makes the first round rather open-ended.

Enjoy your complimentary slice of pizza.

Alright, Chaotix, JHT, let's do this! Any thoughts on who to kill tonight?

EDIT: This isn't the Mafia QT? :sweatdrop:

Wager: 10 chips on Ferret - I don't like ferrets

Wager: 1 chip on TLD

I haven't even got a role PM.

EDIT: unbolded to not confuse tally.

Vote: Visorslash 10 credits

It is against your interests to bet so low, if you are town.

How scummy :inquisitive:

I haven't really thought about vote weighting strategy for this game, but hopefully I'll work things out as I go along. In the interim I think I'll hoard my chips.

Wager: 1 chip on Ferret

It occurs to me, though, that creating ties might actually be a really good idea, since it can give you information on the alignment of more than one person at once. For example, if a player were to survive a couple of tied votes he'd be rather suspicious. If you tie him in a third lynch and he still survived you could flat-out lynch him with a fair degree of confidence, whilst if a random third party died you know you've caught two scum. It would probably be a bit tricky logistically though, and later on bluff votes could throw a spanner in the works. Still, something to consider.

Wager 10 chips on Visorslash He didn't even sign up for this.

Unfortunately he did, and I completely missed it. I have to stick him as a reserve player and offer my most profuse apologies.

Visorslash is not an active player due to game host screw up.

While not betting is legal in this game, I'll put in an inactivity rule.

If you fail to post during the game for two straight voting Days, you'll be replaced by Visorslash.

Unvote; Vote: Ishmael 10 chips

You brought it upon yourself, Fugazy. :smoking:

I could be a total jerk mod and insist upon Wager and Fold, but I know you're going to all forget no matter how many times I try to enforce the flavorful wording difference, so yes I will count Vote and Unvote as legal formats for wagering and folding.

I guess I'm feeling conciliatory due to recent muck-ups, but I wouldn't press your luck.

BAHAHA i will hoard all my chips, even though i realise it will make me a likely kill target for the mafia.
Attachment 10711

i just realised i would look really scumy if not killed tonight, but but now that i have indeed said so, all blame will disapear.

Your WIFOM confuses me. Wager 5 chips on Makrell Also Ishmael, tying is bad. If we put one person over the top, he will die, scum or not. We can still kill the other one next round. We have a 50 percent chance of lynching the scum (if one of them would actually be scum) If we don't push someone over the top we have a 0 percent chance of lynching the scum. The only way how I see ties can benefit town is if both tied persons are scum and someone else dies. I am sure though the scumbags will never let that happen; so tying is BAD. (hope this made sense :sweatdrop:)

wager: 1 chip on Darth Feather.

I do not want to spent too much at day 1

My argument is that in the case of a tie, the person who survives should be placed in another tied vote the next day. If they survive that, it's probably reasonable grounds to lynch them (or at least tie them for a third day to be sure). That said, the more I think about it the more I realise it would most likely be impossible to arrange consistently. Never mind.

If Makrell was not so WIFOMmy, I would vote you for grammatical crimes (just kidding, my english is probably worse than yours :2thumbsup:)

Visorslash is the new Ironside, it seems. That's what you get for not writing down the sign-ups as they come in, Mr. Pizza.

Speaking of Ironside...

Wait a minute now.

Your European currency rules are confusing me.

Is that one chip or one hundred chips? Or possibly one thousand chips and you just forgot the third zero?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Europeans use the comma in the same way that Americans use the period, and vice-versa?

Wager: 7 on Makrell

Because perhaps illogical numbers will best the system..?

I don't wager, I bet.

Bet 10: GSC

Seven is a perfectly logical number. Especially for dwarves.

wager 3 chips on Jarema, seems i need to sae myself. Which i will, i might be a gambler, but i aint stupid.

Tally (I think)

Ferret: 1 (Ishmael:1)
Visorslash (who isn't even playing yet): 10 (edse:10)
Makrell: 12 (Darth Feather:5 ; Gaius Scribonius Curio: 7)
Darth Feather: 1 (Jarema:1)
Chaotix: 11 (Ferret:10 ; Ironside:1 (I guess))
Jarema: 10 (White_Eyes:D:10)

I didn't count makrells vote because it was not bolded.

Anyone care to check the tally?

un-wager (what is correct name for that?)
wager: 3 chips on Makrell

I think it is fold.

Wager: 6 Chips on Jarema

Wager 5,- chips on Chaotix for not knowing the ruler of the comma's and dots.

And why do you create a tie without even saying a word about it when we have just established that tying players is not a good idea?

Sorry for the double post but I don't want to edit in a vote

Fold, Wager 10 chips on rickinator9

wager: 3 chips on Jarema

I think jht's bet on GSC was missed on your tally Darth - in any case: Wager 10 - Gaius Scribonius Curio = SCUM

New and improved tally

Ferret: 1 (Ishmael:1)
Visorslash (who isn't even playing yet): 10 (edse:10)
Makrell: 15 (Darth Feather:5 ; Gaius Scribonius Curio:7 ; Jarema:3)
Chaotix: 16 (Ferret:10 ; Ironside:1 (I guess) ; rickinator9:5)
Jarema: 13 (White_Eyes:D:10 ; Makrell:3)
Gaius Scribonius Curio: 20 (Johnhughthom:10 ; LazyMcCrow:10)
rickinator9: 10 (TheLastDays:10)

That should be all.

My vote for Ishmael?

Fold. Wager 10 chips on Jarema

I hope I got it right this time :clown:

Ferret: 1 (Ishmael:1)
Visorslash (who isn't even playing yet): 10 (edse:10)
Makrell: 15 (Darth Feather:5 ; Gaius Scribonius Curio:7 ; Jarema:3)
Chaotix: 16 (Ferret:10 ; Ironside:1 (I guess) ; rickinator9:5)
Jarema: 23 (White_Eyes:D:10 ; Makrell:3 ; TheLastDays:10)
Gaius Scribonius Curio: 20 (Johnhughthom:10 ; LazyMcCrow:10)
Ishmael: 10 (Montmorency:10)

Fold, Wager 4 chips on Curio

Your tally seems correct now.

24 Curio: 10 johnhughthom, 10 LazyMcCrow, 4 edse
23 Jarema: 10 White_eyes:D, 3 Makrell, 10 TheLastDays
16 Chaotix: 10 Ferret, 1 Ironside, 5 rickinator9
15 Makrell: 5 Darth Feather, 7 Curio, 3 Jarema
10 Ishmael: 10 Montmorency
1 Ferret: 1 Ishmael

Well, if Ishmael won't die then that's just money down the drain.

Fold; Wager 1: GSC

That's my thoughts exactly but can anybody enlighten me why it's so important to you to lynch GSC?

Yeah...I don't think wasting chips is a good thing..:whip:

Unvote:Jarema 10 chips Vote:GSC 10 chips

fold; wager 1 chip on GSC

fold You guys do realize that at this point your chips won't be needed to lynch GSC and you'll still lose them when he (likely) flips town?

Fold.

No point wasting any chips this early. I'll save them for when I actually have a hunch about somebody.

I'd suggest that - in accordance with the rules of the game - anyone not using their chips - ie. betting the limit - should be viewed with the highest suspicion.

It is like any other mafia game.
I think it is not good to abstain day one, as this prevents town from getting any information.
If GSC is lynched, I will probably lose chips I wagered on him. Just as I would waste my vote in vanilla mafia game.
Do not allow 'extra' rules about chips to fool you; that is mafia game, and we need to vote.

I'd suggest that's poppycock. This song and dance comes up every game - and just like the other hundred times, townies still prefer survival to death.

Can you read what I posted? Any literate person will get all the information they need...

All these votes/wages piling on a bandwagon provide no information at all and by wasting my chips in the same way I am simply givin up voting power that the town might need later in the game...

Even if we were sure GSC is scum we should lynch him with as little an amount of chips as possible just in case he does end up being town and all these townies who piled on him lose all their chips (= voting power). Remember what Pizza said in the rules: It is entirely possible for the Mafia to win without even outnumbering the town. They just need to have more chips than us.

wager: 2 chips on GSC

The whole point is simply that chips must be used tactically, where they can best influence the lynch for the lowest cost.

What that means is that each agent will be constantly correcting their wager to account for new information.

The game will be very lively.

In fact, every poster should have to post an updated tally with every new vote.

I've played "Faction Wars" so I know that this won't work :P.

Posts are still missing from classical hero and BSmith, remember that the day is over when they post.

why you wager 9 chips on a player that will not be lynched? (I mean, that your bet does not even put him on the lead)

well that makes sense.

I didnt see that Curio wager 10 chips, so it is enough for him to move them to Chaotix

Wager 5 chips on GSC.

Sorry for the late post. The weekend ate me.

Fold; Wager 10 on Chaotix

Why?(The GSC being scum part)

I see no reason atm risking my chips but I'm willing to contribute if you have anything else than a gut feeling.

Ugh. Nobody vote until I finish the tally up to this point, I have to see if I need to save myself.

This is gonna be a nightmare for Mr. Pizza to check and double-check.

Me dying is bad for business.

Fold

Wager 7 on Gaius Scribonius Curio

It's incredible how much scope for last-minute shenanigans there is in this one.

Everyone voting the leader should near the end lower their wagers, but then have to correct to keep him in the lead if he suddenly falls into second or third place.

People are going to be trying to force their co-voters to pay for their favored lynches.

Now this game is a true exercise in cutthroat cruelty and avaricious vigilance.

It's like a stripper balancing a coin between her breasts for as long as she can.

But the stripper always loses.

I recommend that Pizza make the round-ends unpredictable so as to really up the stakes. Boy, how we'll be scrambling for advantage...

You sound like scum :dizzy2:

As per the terms of the round, it will end the moment classical_hero posts. However, if he forgets to vote in that post, he may then make an additional post with a vote in it. Otherwise the round is over then. I'm off to work, and I look forward to collecting on your debts.

meh. Curio is scum. Fold wager 1 on Curio

Why?

You haven't minced your words much so far - is that your townie MO?

My 'reasoning' is that I read GSC's first post and decided it smelt scummy. Scummier at least than anything anyone else has posted and nothing subsequent has made me feel any different. The reason for my last post and the lowering of my wager on Curio is that Chaotix is in the lead to get lynched so my bet of 5 was irrelevant. The reason I'm sticking so hard on a day one vote is so that when GSC is lycnhed and flips SCUM, I can pat myself on the back and revel in the newfound respect that you will all have for my sixth sense.

Anyway - where's your bet?
