The Prometheus: Large Mafia Game [Concluded]

[Chaotix]

Okay, everyone. I have been speaking with the scum ATPG, and I believe I have learned something from his words, although he mentioned nothing directly and I was left to infer this for myself. No, I have not been converted.

In the very first sentence of this thread, Crazed Rabbit mentions that there is a gameplay mechanic that is not found in traditional mafias. This could simply be the convert mechanic that the mafia employs, however this has happened in other mafia games. Rather, I think that it is possible that there's no town victory condition. That if, in the event we do defeat the mafia, our load of precious chemicals will wind up being used for nukes or something, and we'll blow up the Earth. Then there'll be no winner, cause we'll all be dead. Perhaps the only way there can be a victory is if it is for mafia. And in that case, it would be in our every interest to join the mafia.

Now, I'm not saying that you should believe this, or even that I necessarily believe it myself. It's just, the more I think about it, the more it seems likely that CR would play a sick trick on us in the event that we won . That, and ATPG left me with a cryptic comment, although he could just as easily be lying: "If you would just lay down your arms, you would attain victory."

I think that we need to discuss this, and whether or not we want to follow it or not. Maybe we should have a vote on it.

Last round, I withdrew my vote on you c27, because pizza had shifted style a bit. Now you do as well.

Chaotix,

One day the sun will NOVA and engulf the entirety of the planet we call earth. There is no such thing as winning or loosing, because in the end we are mortal, temporal beings. The fragility of life is what makes it beautiful. If we were permanent and powerful creatures, we would be made of stone, not meat. A heart breaks in an instant. Like a thread snapping.


We are here to play a game.

One side want an imaginary ship full of imaginary materials and imaginary people to get to an imaginary future representation of earth.


The other side wants to stop this. In the imaginary setting.


Maybe there is a meaning behind this game. It doesn't matter to me, because such a meaning would mean as little as any other attempt at swaying the cold hearts of men.


I am here to play this game as best I can, and for the side I am on.


If the imaginary people of earth in the future decide to use the imaginary materials to blow their imaginary selves up, well that is their choice. If not them, than the sun would eventually see to it.


I say this ship goes. And if anyone doesn't like it, they can step through the airlock, and die a honorable and morally superior imaginary death. More power to them.

Yeah, uh, no offense, but this is suspicious as hell (and a huge blunder if you were Mafia in either theory 2 or 3, completely undoing a brilliant play).
