The Office Mafia Game Thread


Recommended Posts

Hi Hess. I'm mainly just observing for now. Was getting a scum vibe from Dan at first but she has alleviated that recently although this Verbal business is still weird. She is a hard one to read. Will need to watch her closely. I think this whole discussion about the items and whether we should discuss them yet is kinda useless and overblown tbh.

Freakin sucks that Russell Martin just went yard.

Thx direct Wombat is a...better Wombat.

I don't really get it either. Actually, I would think the scum players would know more than the town players at this point regarding the items, since there are apparently rules in place for them not to be able to abuse them, and JVOR may have already given them those rules.

I just thought about this and was coming to post something similar.

The fewer people who get it probably just means the less there might be to get, I suppose. Still, see no benefit to discussing items that have yet to be distributed.

"No benefit" makes sense to me, I agree that there isn't a ton to gain from making guesses about it ... what I was saying was I understand why someone might be curious and using it as a starting point to get the game moving. Like I said, having watched the show, there are a million different things JVoR could have chosen to include in the game, so we really have no idea what he picked. What I didn't understand is the freaking out as if Pac was suddenly going to learn crucial information to screw over the town.

It's not silly, just saying I agree with slats. Not even sure if it's for the same reason ;)

You said I was missing an important game mechanic. That's very different from simply agreeing that speculating isn't too helpful to the town. I'm still trying, though. Lol.

Ok, so you and Pac are teammates in this one. Got it. ;)

What would be the benefit of speculating about the items? I can't really think of any benefits for a townie outside of trying to get the game going (which Pac certainly could've been doing - although his edit "and grandstanding" caught my attention). For scum, there maybe could be other reasons that I won't be speculating about at this time.

Agree here. I'm not sure why the oddly timed push for discussing objects... when nobody else was even discussing the game yet, tbh. Then I saw Pac doing the old, "I'm suspicious of everyone not discussing the game yet" later in thread... seems pretty stupid to be honest. I think, based on re-read, that there are maybe 8 people or so starting to settle in and take the game serious... everyone else is bullsh*tting. So the ever-competent Pac just FOSed 11-12 people?

Are we seriously scum-hunting on day 1. Just run a train up on someone so they can reveal, then we can do it again, and again. And then we can make a decision.

You hopped on the JF80 train... you tell us.

Hahaha - I can't wait to hear what the Ape has to say in return!

Me neither - I'm repping the sh*t out of everything right now.

Dan covers it below...

Everything about you disgusts me.

CTM was the one who tracked it down. He has his ways.

Yeah.... Google. :rolleyes:

I want more wombat and ape and I miss JiF.

I thought I posted some funny pictures... when the game really starts, I'll be ready to bash some brains in.

Lol. Maybe you missed the part last game where Verbal asked me to fight with him so he can feel more included in the future. I'm simply more than happy to oblige the disgusting pig. :P

After reading this...my scumdar pinged I-28...so I asked the magic 8-ball if I-28 was scum...the response was "Yes". That gives us JF80 and I-28 straight out of the shoot.

Is there a link or should I just suspect this brawl is all for show?

Something tells me this is much more likely the response it gave you...

Really? Lol this is for Wombat, too, I guess. Post #3295 (I don't know how to link it) ...

I think I need somebody to always pester and argue with in these games. I'm feeling left out over here - somebody play with me!

P.S. - preferably Dan, but I'll take what I can get

P.P.S - except CTM - gross

P.P.P.S - and Pac *vomits*

OK...thanks for the link...must have been after I was killed off...I couldn't remember.

FTR. I asked the 8-ball the alignment of Dan and Verbal and got back..."Reply hazy, try again" and "Concentrate and ask again".

Seems strange to get similar responses back to back...I'll be keeping me eyes on the both of you. B)

Isn't that normal for us?

Par for the course, love.

So really, not much has happened today... I'm going to squeeze in an episode of BSG and check back before Friday nigh sexy time.

The little grey circular arrow in front of Verbal's name in the quote IS the link back to it.

Lol I meant I wanted to do that fancy thing Slats does where he puts a link that opens in another window. Maybe I need more lessons on the internet from CTM. :)

Dan, why would Pac learning something screw the town? Do you know he's scum? Welcome back to my scumdar.

Hehe why are you making up reasons for me to be on your scumdar this game?

What I didn't understand is the freaking out as if Pac was suddenly going to learn crucial information to screw over the town.

In other words, I did not comprehend the overreaction to Pac. As if they thought he was fishing around as scum and going to learn something huge that would put scum at a big advantage.

The freaking out? Yeah, you got me, I can barely control myself over here... :lol:

I said it was of "no benefit," in my first response on the subject to you. I also said that I could see that Pac was potentially trying to get the game moving. I understand that concept. That's why I voted him. Often scum are more interested than town in getting the game moving around here. Plus, I'm always expected to have a reason when I vote. If I had it all to do over again, I might change my name to slatsstation and just post like a lunatic until endgame - but I missed my chance.

I believe I said possibly importat game mechanic.. I really don't know.. Given what I do know from the opening scene I can see how learning to much about how powers work can be used to benefit scum

I thought you and Dr. Pac agreed that "Friday nigh sexy time" was a no-no...

Actually, you and CTM did kinda freak out, slats.

And Dan, I am not making up reasons. Even the smallest of phrasings or distancings can be a scumtell.

Speaking of which slats is the king of implying and distancing at the same time. But he does it both as town and scum so just saying.

I know. I keep rolling snake-eyes on Photobucket, wonder what the hell is going on, then realize it's Friday the 13th. In my defense, though, the ape did say "sexy time", and that did deserve a stern response.

I'm going to spell out my own ideas here now, because talking about not talking about these future items has become a bigger issue than talking about them...

I played a game on MJ where there were a ton of items. Everyone -scum or town- could use the items, but each item was geared to a single player who could do more once they obtained their own item. So my thinking was that if there were individuals who had item-centric roles, scum would be interested in finding out who they were. Or maybe getting some idea of what the items might be, or what they might do. How would scum know about this? Maybe if they had an item-centric role as a member of their team.

It was just a thought, not a freak out. But as I said originally; I saw no benefit to discuss it as town, only a possible potential benefit to scum.

Lol, I instinctively quit reading after "Verbal asked me to fight with him so he can feel more" to pause to imagine something.
