Official Usmb Mafia Game #5: A Game Of Fire And Ice (day 6)

[ScarletRage]

Would anyone be opposed if my sister joined this game as a replacement? It appears we need a few.

Back to game. I was in a minor fender bender. I am ok. Posting should not decline, be patient with me please today.

I don't like lurker lynches day 1. However, I would like a volunteer with an unused ability they hate to claim they hate their ability. I can swap them with the lynchee if the lynchee has not usef their power.

 

[House]

According to the rules, we're technically not supposed to be repping posts.

That probably goes for Like/Agree/Disagree, but @Wake should clarify.

And where is that stated?

Have you read the OP?

Glad you're ok!

 

[House]

Been rereading the vote changes last night. I am a bit confused by House's change in vote.

In post 1351, House says he is voting for TN because the whole TN/Mertex situation and he thinks TN is scum. By 1375, he unvotes. I don't really see anything between those posts that helps me understand why.

I would like a little more info on what changed between those to posts. House?

Clarification between PR's and Abilities changed my mind, as I posted on my unvote. I don't see how I could have explained it clearer.

And where is that stated?

First post of the game, it states:

• No Positive/Negative repping.

In previous games, that was directed towards people NOT in the game. I'm not sure if it includes players now.

It's confusing...because under "Behavior" in the Game Timeline it says

I can't "like" any post in an ongoing game.
​

If it was intended to everyone, shouldn't he have said "noone"?

We don't have rep anymore, so that isn't even current.

Glad you are o.k. I will talk to Wake. Maybe he will extend the deadline. My vote is in unvote status.

[Mertex]

I would request a PL on myself for all my anti-town play. I think there's enough agreement that I keep messing up and I can go along with this.

Everyone of us has messed up at one time or another. By stealing an ability I became a target. If I had not stolen it and it had been revealed that I didn't I'm sure that would have appeared as Scum to some, especially to Scum.

Some have made it personal and have hurt feelings. I have apologized for my behavior, but it seems like others are able to get away with it, all in the context of the game. So, don't sacrifice yourself. If you are Town, keep working to find Scum. If you are Scum, well, I rather find you out than you give yourself up. That's my town win condition.

@Wake
I thought Wolf blocked me and Moon from voting for TN on Day 1. You still show Moon as voting for him.

 

[Wake]

I am completely fine with "Liking/Agreeing/Disagreeing" posts. Positive/negative repping no longer exists. No harm no foul.

If four or more players voice wanting the deadline extended by 4 days, it will happen.

 

[House]

I'm trying to figure out if using these agree's are good in this set up up or not.

According to the rules, we're technically not supposed to be repping posts.

That probably goes for Like/Agree/Disagree, but @Wake should clarify.

No, he said he (Wake) could not be "liking" posts. There was nothing in the rules about us liking or disliking posts.

Word?

[Moonglow]

No, they are not scum as I can tell you for sure...

'THEY' who?

FA

And you say 'for sure'. How do you know that as a fact?

@Wake

Request extension for the new folks to acclimate.

 

[Avatar4321]

@Wake the TN wagon should not be so big. Wolf used her blockade ability

Yes!!

 

[Avatar4321]

at this point I would like the extension

The lack of sleep is getting to me. You are right and thank you.

 

[Wake]

Moonglow and AyeCantSeeYou may not vote for tn5421 today.

Spoiler: Blockade

[Wolfsister77] - Blockade
Select one player with two or more votes on his or her wagon. Remove two of those votes, and the players who had cast those two votes may not vote for that player again during this Day. This ability may only be activated during Day 1 or 2.

- Blockade

TN5421

Moonglow, AyeCan'tSeeYou

 

[House]

We have 3/4 votes for an extension.

Speak up, peoples.

 

[Wake]

Wolfie, please don't replace out.

I underestimated how explosive this game would be (it's a template for a 32-player themed game with 3 special abilities per player). The forum update, which has been like bicycling through a boggy swamp route, has not helped. Subsequent Days should become much easier with PoE and the number of abilities tapering off.

*Underestimated, not overestimated. Can't brain today, it seems.
