Re: The Prometheus: Large Mafia Game (In Progress)
I would agree with that theory that those who are playing with a style that's consistent does not typically indicate guilty status, and those who are deviating from their usual style seems to indicate mafia. It's part of the reason I've been grilling Ichigo for what seems to be no apparent reason. I haven't played against Ichigo very often, but those who have made comments to me already that they think it's out of character for him.Originally Posted by Seamus Fermanagh
White Eyes:
Are you aware that your post "I didn't get a PM" is considered total WIFOM? There are those who would vote for you 1st round simply because of it.
I will continue to abstain because I don't know you yet; it could simply be that you haven't gotten into the SOP groove here. But beware, that kind of post is considered suspicious.
As to other potential candidates:
Pizza is having a bit of a Sasaki effect. It's a time-consuming style of play to post so much on so many aspects of a game and it grinds on people. It neither proves, nor disproves, mafia status. It should be noted, however, that the voluminous parsiflage style HAS been used by Sasaki to conceal mafia status (but no more frequently than one would expect from random selection) and does provoke discussion and defense -- which usually enhance the chances of a townie win.
Ichigo, your earlier posts left me with ZERO suspicion. Your last exchange with Pizza, however, was a bullet point by bullet point defensive response. I don't recall seeing you do that before....
Reenk, for those of you actively voting, is not yet a good choice for a lynch. His style of posting so far is PERFECTLY consistent with his usual mode of play. You simply haven't experienced the joy of the Reenkster in action.
I've never seen Reenk play because I am new, so I am going to have to go through the old games to see his playing style.
As for myself, I would refer people to Chaotix' FF mafia. As you can see, everything I am doing is exactly consistent with my established playing style. As you point out Seamus, I could still be mafia, because the tactic has been used before. In my opinion, such a tactic would be very risky for mafia to use, as it tends to get that person lynched or nearly lynched. It puts me out there in dangerous territory right away. It's totally unnecessary for someone who is mafia to do that, especially in the first round where it makes me stick out like a sore thumb, and it does end up giving town a better win percentage. It doesn't matter to me if I get lynched now or later, I'm still going to contribute to the discussion as it says in the rules that the dead can still post. I refuse to back down or be silenced for using what is the best strategy I can think of to assist town in investigating people and pushing potential mafioso into the spotlight.
I had absolutely nothing to go on, but my annoying questioning of Ichigo prompted him to behave out of character for him. I think there's something there. If you can ignore the abrasive nature of my personality and think clearly, you'll realize that there is a method to what I am doing, and it's useful; it makes the cockroaches scurry from the light.
Andres-
The point of what I was arguing is clear, or it was to me at least. I don't know for certain Ichigo is guilty or not, but he's behaving strangely. I am keeping my vote on him because right now, his behavior is scummy to me. You want decisive, I'm taking decisive action by following every lead, and every time Ichigo starts typing again, he provides me with better and better leads, and more reasons to believe he's not himself. I refuse to take the passive road of waiting for mafia to make a mistake.
With several votes on me already, all of which I gained after I began questioning, I'm at the head of the line, and I'm still questioning. What does that tell you, Andres?
