The Godfather, Part 2 [Concluded]

[Don Corleone]

Well, Sasaki, I must not be all that off the mark if you feel a need to get insulting now. Yes, you're right, I didn't get the greatest start. And no, I haven't played 7 or 8 times over the past 6 months like the rest of you.

That doesn't mean I'm retarded or anything. I explained my reasoning. You sort of counter it, and then get into disparaging me. Interesting.

It wasn't meant as an insult. Should I have been pc and said "your lack of knowledge of previous games" instead?

When your arguments would not be used by anyone who has played the game a number of times what am I supposed to say? It's like I claim Communism is the solution to all the worlds problems and you say "well, historically, the ussr..." and I say: "don't call me retarded just because I haven't read any history books! I still believe it's true!".

You complain that my post was ridiculous. Explain why. Rampant abstention hurts the town, this is fact. Why is one line a problem? There are dozens of one line posts. I believe I've made some of the longest posts in this thread to date. I was responding to your post which was much shorter.

Sasaki could you explain to me why Abstention hurts the town I'm confused?

Oh yeah that last post was hilarious.

Because there's no discussion and all that happens is townies die. The detective has a 1/14 chance of finding a mafioso first round. 2nd round he has 1/13. If he just randomly guesses by the time he finds a mafioso half the town will be dead. It's no good at all, and GeneralH knows this.

Just because one person Abstains not all of them will Sasaki.

Oh yeah something else I've noticed.

Already responded, it's interesting you like to pretend I didn't.

I'm still waiting. If you already posted, post it again.

Voting someone to start discussion is standard practice. Even if you don't choose to do it personally it's not suspicious. Day 1 is all about discussion.

No it isn't. Making a medium-sized post analyzing the situation is. You vote for someone when you think they did it, or the person with the most votes didn't do it. At that time, I really had nothing to offer and since Silver's games seem to be notorious for deadlines, I wanted to make sure I had something in.

It sends discussion in the wrong direction. Odds are greatly in favor of it being a mafia plant or just meaningless. The mafia want you to waste time discussing it. There is plenty of precedent for this.

Ok, fine. But look at it this way: How much would your suspicions of me have differed had I not posted that little analysis?

How could something so weak convince you?

It wasn't weak. Kommodus is an extremely smart player who learns from his mistakes. Engineering that kind of frame is right up his alley.

I'm sorry, but this makes you look more guilty. Mafia often worry about being seen as bandwagoning and will say they find someone suspicious and then vote them in a later post.

Yeah, I know. I did that with BKS in the last game. Don't you think that if I were mafia this time that I would have changed the strategy up?

Oh, entirely. I can see why you avoided responding to my post if this was all you had to offer. Myrddraal makes a much better case for his innocence.

Oh, please. Those are my reasons. I don't even know why I continue to argue. The townspeople made the right decision.

This game is starting to make me sick to my stomach. That's never happened before.

All mafia games need drama to stay interesting. I believe I contribute to this by my inputs.
This game is however derailing into a big argument and I am particularly concerned by GH feeling it physically.
These games should be played with tongue in cheek and funny dialogue. Some of you seem to take this a little too serious. You should not make enemies in these games, just new friends.

I believe Sasaki is playing this game tongue in cheek because that is how I interpret it.
Let’s take a step back and play like old buddies where snide remarks are taken with good humour. This might not be common in your local culture, but please let’s make it so.

Having said this…
I feel we need to move to the next game. The mafia will surely loose this round and I am going to make it happen.
Kommodus had an uber method of finding Mafiosi. I will top him by using one of the old navy methods and give you the players of this game.

Crazed Rabbit our detective has probably investigated me already and found me innocent.
Sasaki a Mafioso got lynched last round, while his companion Seamus Fermanagh… is still alive.
Both were chosen by our Godfather … Ignoramus.
Vote Ignoramus as I surely will get wiped out this round.

[Xiahou]

I find it really interesting Sasaki that you posted that one line and not the entire PM that I sent you, back when I thought Prole and Xiahou were mafia and Xiahou never responded. Could HE be your partner?

I never responded because I took it as an amusing frameup attempt confirming your mafia role- asking me to post a sign in a different board here to acknowledge your "plan".

Honestly, it was pretty transparent. It would make no sense at all for me to leave a "secret" message on the public boards here when there would be numerous other ways for me to communicate(PMs for example) were I actually mafia.

So then, why make such an oddball request? Because you know already that I'm not mafia and in making such an odd offer it would also make me think that you're innocent as well. That PM, combined with your other public statements are the reasons I've been trying to get you lynched from round1.

You may be new at this, but your new guy mistake was overplaying you're new guy status to try and dodge suspicion.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Sasaki, you're way off the mark, and so is anyone else, in suspecting a link between me and Don.
Sasaki in particular is way off in his suspicion of, basically, every single one of my posts.

You're a master player; even after your death you attempt to continue your cause, be it for mafia or village.

Xiahou: there's been only one time of us voting and then unvoting for each other, and that was because Don used a random voting thing, which got him votes from other people who he didn't select.

Right now I'm suspicious of Don, Xiahou, Sigurd, GH, and Myrrdral.

All would be good choices for a mafioso. Well, Don has the right name for it, and he can claim ignorance as a defense (which he has). Xiahou performed well as a first time mafioso, going out after Sasaki, legendary spinmaster. Sigurd was a teflon Godfather in Sasaki's first game, and Myrrdral seems like a good player.

Also, RTWGuru is acting strange.

Gah, I'll come back tommorow after my exam.
