I used to play Mafia almost exclusively in drunken blackouts, but I’m pretty sure I recall JiF oversharing about some Floridian rendezvous with a Maytag dryer.

 

Not sure how he fit one in his ass but to each his own

You trying to get Deputy Doofus killed?

You’re right, I’ll do the dirty work.

I’m strangely motivated in triggering all the traps just to see what they are.

I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t know what impact my role has. Nor do I understand what information anyone is basing their votes on. I suppose round 1 is the sounding out phase and try to spot a voting bloc which could signify scum coordination?

 

 

Day 1 is 95 % sh*tposting until something happens.  Usually Ape shows up and finds a shiny object he's sure is scum.  That player gets mad and votes Ape back (otherwise known as an OMGUS post - Oh My God U Suck).  Ape finds a new shiny object and the process repeates. 

Then the game starts for reals.

This reminds me of a resume that came across my desk last year (2022). The candidate actually had a section in their resume where they enumerated their weaknesses.

My advice to anyone writing a resume is to not do this.

As a first timer myself, I'm assuming the same. Doubt anyone gets offed day one while being wary of anyone not posting as they may be afraid of triggering a traps and revealing themselves.

Unless it is: “Weakness — goes homicidal when rejected for a job.”

I see this game as a way to release all the bile that would get me banned from the main forums.

[Jetsfan80]

Some terms for new guys @jgb and @Lurker89.  This is far from a comprehensive glossary but its a nice start:

• Scum:  Bad guys
• Town:  Good guys
• Lynch:  Majority vote that removes a player from the game
• Cop:  Investigative Role, can search for bad guys
• Doc:  Protects a player from a Scum Kill
• BPV/Vest:  Bulletproof Vest - A protection item that prevents a player from being killed/shot during the game.
• Mafia Godfather:  Investigations will come up "town" for this player
• Vanilla Town:  Regular roleless town player
• PR:  Can either mean "Power Role" or "Post Restriction". 
  • Power Role - Cop/Doc/etc. 
  • Post Restriction - when the mod orders a player to post a certain way or behave a certain way at times as part of his/her role
• Bussing:  Intentionally going after a scum teammate to "distance" yourself and make yourself look town
• L-2:  When a player is 2 votes away from lynch.  Typically this is a good time for a player to "reveal" what role he is if he so chooses, then town can decide whether to still proceed with the lynch.  For scum, its a good time to come up with a nice "fake reveal".
• OMGUS:  Oh My God U Suck - voting back a player who votes you for no other reason than they're voting you
• WIFOM:  Wine In Front Of Me.  Ever see Princess Bride?  This scene describes what's going on with this term:

A blowjob is not a “job” and asking to give one is not “applying.”

My first ever game (Clue Mafia)  I rolled vanilla town and accidentally set off a trap that got a fellow townie killed.  I felt bad about it for like a week.  I was so young and innocent then....

I recruited jgb and lurker and they seem to be playing against their wishes.  I feel responsible for their development.  Especially since they both look like promising rookies, unlike Zach Wilson.

Even in games where there aren't traps (this is a rarity - leave it to Nolder to throw a wrinkle at confused rookies, though it is pretty cool and matches the theme), games are slow to start. 

Once players start dying more things start happening.  It's all about collecting information.  A dead player is informative regardless of alignment because you can go back at interactions/votes surrounding that player and perhaps find suspicious activity.  But until a player is lynched/killed you have very little info to go on.

I like to play jump rope with the line on the main boards and post unbannable things in bannable tones or bannable things in unbannable tones. 

The brief light tap from the ban-hammer I recieved was for one of the most benign things I had ever posted. I then petitioned @nycdan to ban me longer for some of the more objectionable things I had spewed at people (mostly towards @DefenseWinsChampionships85) If i was to be banned it should be for the proper content. ?

Love you @nycdan

I can't help myself ...I miss the old bloodsport days of the internet. If the mildest opportunity to spar presents itself I'm in. Which is why I was a **** to @Barry McCockinner a month or two ago, but I actually love Barry:

We had a mild football related  disagreement you replied with a snarky response which opened the door for me to be a vile *****,  but basically a bunch of superfluous bs including an unwarranted dig at your name to put you on the defense get you to say something stupid and then point at the stupid things you say while dancing around like a baboon.... ya know my general MO.

This reminds me.....since @The Crusher stepped down as a moderator....who is the "assigned" mod for the Mafia forum now?  Or are we just a dystopian, lawless wasteland at this point?  Not that that would be much different than it always has been....
