Capo de Tutti Capi [Concluded]

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I would presume by posting that he is mafia. But hes not retarded enough to post that, so you think he isnt mafia. But he would also have come to that conclusion, posting it so it looks like he isnt mafia and mafia at the same time.

(oh, recruit me!)

This is WIFOM, we should just leave it.

...and what does that mean...

[Sasaki Kojiro]

...and what does that mean...

Stands for "Wine in front of me"

Stands for "Wine in front of me"

oh... ...sorry for my "noobliness"

[pevergreen]

Dont worry, i had no idea what it meant either..

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Well I'm glad it's all cleared up now

[Sasaki Kojiro]

ok ok

wifom--"wine in front of me" is a reference to the scene in "The princess bride" where wesley and vizzini engage in a battle of wits. Wesley presents vizzini with two cups of wine and says one of them is poisoned:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Man in Black: All right. Where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right... and who is dead.
Vizzini: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Man in Black: You've made your decision then?
Vizzini: Not remotely. Because iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.
Man in Black: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
Vizzini: Wait til I get going! Now, where was I?
Man in Black: Australia.
Vizzini: Yes, Australia. And you must have suspected I would have known the powder's origin, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Man in Black: You're just stalling now.
Vizzini: You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could've put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.

Vizzini thinks he has the answer, but there is really no way to come to a conclusion. What pevergreen said earlier is the same thing:

I would presume by posting that he is mafia. But hes not retarded enough to post that, so you think he isnt mafia. But he would also have come to that conclusion, posting it so it looks like he isnt mafia and mafia at the same time.

You can't assume anything about someone alignment from an action like that. Making WIFOM arguments is distracting to the town and leads nowhere useful; it's often used by scum (mafia/serial killer) as a diversion tactic. Vizzini dies btw.

I haven't been around the Gameroom in a while, so I still have to play catch-up. Sasaki, that is one sweet avatar you have there. Fits your personality perfectly.

PS: Seamus, you missed my vote, I voted for Beirut.

(oh, recruit me!)

...This sounds a little like Vazini in Princess Bride.

Edit: Note to self, finish thread before replying. Someone smarter will probably have beaten you to it.

Post #? My apologies if so.

[Cowhead418]

Post #? My apologies if so.

Post #191

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Sorry. Cowhead is quite correct. Beirut received 13 votes, not 12. Post 224 has been corrected to reflect the accurate count. If our mod would be so kind as to adjust the info thread?

What idiot came up with the idea for this big a scenario with this much counting....

[GeneralHankerchief]

Actually, nitpick.

I don't think Beirut voted for himself, either.

Sorry.

Sorry.

You're right. I did my data entry too quickly, switched screens and wrote Cowhead's vote for Beirut in Beirut's vote column. Beirut didn't vote.

[Csargo]

255 posts and no kills yet this should be quite good.

[pevergreen]

Your quite right Sasaki that part of the movie is a killer. Thats the only reason i like that move, apart from
"Inconceivable!"

[Sasaki Kojiro]

post updated. Also, lol:

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

Love that movie.

[Prince Humperdink sniffs the vial] "...Iocane..."

[Ignoramus]

"Do you think it will work?" "It would take a miracle."

[CountArach]

So is this night time, or do we try to lynch people now?

[Sigurd]

"Inconceivable"...

[pevergreen]

After reading Sasaki's post, i went to work and watched that movie. The WIFOM is unforgetable.


EDIT: How do you change it so it doesnt save sent PM's? No need to clutter it up here, just PM me it

EDIT2: To whoever has that big list of people and how they act naahahahahaaha im not on there!

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Lots of PM's not yet in -- under 4 hours to go.

Groups must not only delineate the same action, but must name their coordinating members. Questions? PM me.

Clearing Messages:

Check its box, go to the bottom of the PM Box area, change it to read delete, then hit "go" and all of the PM's go phhht into cyberia.

Any who miss PMs will be listed as sleeping -- but miss enough and I might have to WoG for that too.

TTFN!

[Motep]

This will be interesting....

[pevergreen]

I dont see the townies winning this one...can they?

[Motep]

I dont see the townies winning this one...can they?

Likely not...But, It all depends.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Folks:

Some still haven't PM'd or posted.. Edit: 28 of you!

Also Let me say again:

Night-time PMs must include: Action, & names of those coordinating with if any.

ALL members of a coordinating group must separately send in PMs that mesh in order for those orders to go through as planned.

If there is a general call for a short extension to clean this up, I will accomodate that.

Questions as to formatting etc. Please ask -- as Ironside quickly proved, the game system is not yet seemless and I will clean up any flubs quickly.


As to a Townie Win:

Long about round 14, the referee can clock both boxers -- as they've exhausted and hammered on each other.

[Major Robert Dump]

28 of you are losers. Get your act together, retards

[Seamus Fermanagh]

28 of you are losers. Get your act together, retards

A tad harsh, perhaps. And the number is a bit less now.

My extension elapses at 1300 EST (27 minutes) -- PM now or sleep (well?)

Narration to follow as quickly after that as possible.

[The Stranger]
