Nae, I think Crusher needs some love. Shall we? :lol:

If by love you mean something other than a no-fat yogurt desert. Yes, yes I do need love.

Wanna see some porn baby? Crusher style.

I would club two families of baby seals to death for a couple of those bad boys right now. Really. But no, fatty has to live freakin forever so I get tastless cold mush instead.

He will not be reasoned with, and he will kill all of you on his way out. It is up to you to eliminate the Man in Black and any of his recruits. Beware, he has lived for thousands of years and will use any resources to survive and kill you all in order to get off this island.

He has recruits, and he kills, or maybe he has recruits and can recruit more... ? If he can recruit, it's probably a pretty small group to start. I can't imagine that Vic would open the game with a single bad guy.

Is the wiki gonna help me at all in this one? There's a list of characters who are called the Others, the Dharma Initiative members, and Widmore and employees. Are any of these likely to be featured here?

Or just one bad mafia that can kill and grow?

No, you definitely should.

And in the mean time, I'm working on a theory that the Man in Black will actually be dressed in white, that somehow the days and nights have been switched, and that this game isn't really about LOST at all.

I've got to work out a few more details, then I'll post it.

I believe that this is exactly what you're doing.

I'm still feeling my way around here, trying to get a feel for your personalities. Slats, is that some really dry sense of humor there, or are you serious?

To be honest, I found it odd that the Man in Black is the ONLY person identified in the opening scene as a clear scum role. Given the timing this game seems to have in the show, I would actually guess there is no "Others" mafia, and the primary mafia group is led by the MIB. Whether he can convert or he just has a team consisting of people who have aligned with him, with Claire being an obvious one and other options ranging from Sayid to even Jack (although I find that less likely).

My guess is we're probably looking at a pretty roled-up game here, given the source material and how excited Vic is about this game. Jack is an obvious candidate for the doc, Sawyer could easily be a vig, and even players like Sayid, Hurley and Kate are all high-probability of roled if I had to guess. There's about 10 different possibilities in this game for lover / sibling roles as well (hell, Kate could be a lover with like 8 different people at this point, that dirty dirty girl).

The point being, I'm guessing this is a very heavily roled game and we're probably better off playing through it and piecing things together then trying to figure things out based on the source material, the primary reason being is with how many people don't know this show, and how confusing the story is even if you are a die-hard fan, I feel like we're a lot more likely to get it wrong than right.

The main point was to let people know there's a strong possibility a recruitment role is in play. Vic even referred to the MIB's recruits in his opening scene.

With that being the case those with roles may want to avoid the quick reveal which has plagued so many games.

I'm thinking CL and a small scum team simply because we just had a conversion game and I don't think Vic would use that format again so soon.

This is my dry sense of humor. Sometimes I tell a joke, and I'm the only one who knows that I did. Those are some of my favorites. :lol:

Good to know. I have one like that, too. I have to use smileys or people think I'm serious. I used to piss a lot of people off. :yes:

Do you think there's both, or a single scum team that can both kill and recruit?

Vic was pretty clear in the opening scene that the Man in Black has recruits and will kill, too.

Vic made it sound like the MIB was a Cult Leader - which someone already pointed out.

But there is plenty of room for a mafia team as well. The cult can recruit mafia - so it's just like adding a third dimension to the board.

The town wins if they lynch all of the mafia

The mafia win if they equal or outnumber (taking a voting majority) everybody else.

The cult wins the same as the mafia. The question would be, how are they aligned?

I do need to read the wiki - but I just wasted an hour watching Dinner:Impossible, where the dude was cookiing for the LOST cast - it was kind of awesoe, and it made me hungry for Mako shark. :shark:

I get why the MiB sounds like a cult leader, but Vic also clearly said that the MiB will kill anyone who gets in his way in his effort to get off the island. Usually a cult leader doesn't kill, right? That's what I'm trying to get at. It sounds more like an all-in-one thing to me.

But it's way too early to get caught up in set-ups. I'm just curious what people who are more familiar with the series think.

If I had to guess I'd say CL and small scum team. The MIB wasn't even introduced until last season... before that it was 4 years of Islanders vs Others.

I would think Vic would take the whole series into account and not just concentrate on what's going on this season. Again... this is just a guess.

You are such a scumbag. Let me get all my thoughts out about possible set ups, but then tell everyone else they shouldnt get too caught up in it.

It wouldnt be mafia without it.

Yes but he did put the focus on the Man in Black as the main guy and he also said he can recuit or has recruits. I would think if he can recruit there should be some type of post restriction we should look out for in his recruits.

Also we have to take into account if the MIB is about to be lynched can he jump to another body since it seems he can posess people?? Is this a possibility ? For instance if he is brought to L-1 and sure death, can he jump to one of his recruits and they become the MIB ?

That sounds plausible but only if it came with a restriction like a percentage or limited usage or else the game wpuld be impossible for us to win.

Thats a good point Smash. I just read the Wiki last night and that is something that stuck out to me when I read it. I do think because Vic is such a Lost fanatic that the Chilean Thundercat will have fun with this game, at our expense most likely. LOL

The other thing to is though the man in Black is a very interesting charactor the Wiki says he really didn;t show up till a later season, I think 4th. This could lead to the possiblity he becomes more influential as the game go's on.

I do think I will eventually start watching this series. Trying to decided what food would go best with it.

I think either way we have to proceed as if conversion is a real possibility.

I disagree. Based on Vic's write up & the source material, the MIB is the main badguy. End of story.

Yes, we can assume he has recruitment ability but that doesn't make him Cult Leader as opposed to Scum Leader. That just may be an extra ability.

If anything, there could be a third party besides the MIB & his team (I'm assuming he has one because it would be dumb if he worked alone).

As far as the last part, I would guess that is not the case, as it was specifically stated after he took over the form of John Locke that it was then permanent and he would no longer be able to take on other forms (prior to that he had only "appeared" as other people, but apparently never took on their form).

That sounds plausible but only if it came with a restriction like a percentage or limited usage or else the game wpuld be impossible for us to win.

There has to be some sort of serious restriction on recruitment, if it even exists. If we have another Thing game of 75% mafia rate I may have to hurt someone. That said, I'm not convinced there even is recruitment, although I won't rule it out. I only say this because based on the lack of mention of any other scum (Others, Widmore, etc.), I feel like this is just the one main mafia team and with Vic's affinity for the show I feel like he would be more likely to make it setup based on the reality of the show as opposed to anyone being able to be converted to the MIB's side at his discretion. I could certainly be wrong though, but I'm just not ready to assume it as a definite and get into the paranoia that comes with conversion games.

I'd be disappointed otherwise. The one good thing about alts is that I don't have to deal with you being focused on me no matter what.

What was your theory about the setup again? Something about a polar bear? :lol:

At this stage I think it is something to talk about, just not something to get hung up about.

Not knowing the show, and only going by Vic's opening scene, this is the way I see it, too.

Ok bleedin maybe he gets one shot to switch bodies. I have a strong feeling the MIB starts out as a lone wolf . The odds of us lynching him day one are less than 5% so its not happening.

Keep in mind if there are post restrictions on the recruits that would be your "Serious Restriction"

In the case of actual recruiting, the restriction Maybe he can only recruit every other night and he starts out with no one on his team.

Little whiny bitch.

As to your other points, recruitment is a possibility based on the source material and what Vic wrote. There's a chance that the MIB & Others are one and the same, and there is another group out there. DHARMA, possibly.

But as of now, my hunch is that MIB and his team are the Others.
