Topic: Day 1: PONG Mafia XXXVIII

[NWR_DrewMG]

I had a request to start the day early, and I couldn't think of any reason why not, so here you go.

Voting begins NOW and ends tomorrow (Tuesday) night at 11 PM CST. 

Remember that I am going to be accepting night actions during the night.  If that won't work for you, let me know ahead of time and I'll consider taking exceptions on a case by case basis. 

Let's vote!

Do we have a player's list so we know who to vote for?  It's been awhile since I've played one of these...

[that Baby guy]

So every action is a night action, right?

Beyond that, a little bit of perusal of the rules revealed that this is one of those tricky games (Almost like mine, last time!), where the investigator can't necessarily rely on his investigations.

Since that's the case, I'd say roles probably shouldn't publically reveal themselves:  A mafia member could claim to have said role, and in the end, the only way to learn who was who is to vote out on of the players, and we'd have a 50/50 chance of getting that right.

That said, if one player with a role were to do a public reveal, the best option would be the "Orange Paddle."  Upon this, the doctor could protect him each night, and players would be insane to lead a vote against him.  Still, the matter remains that very easily, a mafia member could also claim he or she has the ability, and in the end, the real "Orange Paddle" would only be known to the mafia, while players would risk their own lives determining who to vote away.  Still, had there been no "Clear Paddle," this would be an awesome unifying role.  So, I'd say as soon as "Elusive Lucy" is lynched, this player could come forward.  Any time before that, though, could just get a couple extra townies in trouble...

...Unless the Orange Paddle and a townie to lead a vote against the possible mafia member feel brave enough to throw their lives away to find a mafia member, that is.  Anyone sign up that didn't want to play?

In the mean time, I'm gonna un-vote stevey for standard reasons, as a placeholder vote:  He doesn't work well with others, and plays only for his own victory, which isn't cool by my standards.  This'll probably change later in the day, as I find someone better to go after.

Edit:  As per UncleBob's request, I tossed in Drew_MG's list of players into his post.  Drew_MG, if you'd prefer I didn't do that, then just let me know, and I'll stay out of the game in any regard like that.  Otherwise, I can help make sure topics are locked at the right time, and such.

Edit: undid vote for stevey.

[NWR_DrewMG]

Night actions take place between 11 PM CST and 7 AM CST, starting after Day 1 has ended tomorrow at 11 PM CST.  No night actions tonight, because Day 1 doesn't OFFICIALLY start until tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the edit, thatguy.  No worries, I shouldn't need any help locking threads but if for some reason I'm not around to do it, feel free to lock 'em for me.

[stevey]

Vote thatguy! Bash my games for having badly explained rolls and can't get his own game to work right....

[Mop it up]

Vote Stratos

Did you miss me? No? Good. Now get out.

[that Baby guy]

Called it!

Edit:  PM sent to Mop_it_up:

...Seriously doing the "stay hidden on the forums" game?  But how will I know when you're online?!  Not cool

Not cool

Not cool

What's your storyline this game going to be?  Attack Stratos through-and-through, once more?

[Khushrenada]

Hi. I'm a townie. That is all.

[stevey]

Calling it now

Thatguy = mafia
Khush = Godfather

That is all.

[Mop it up]

That's pretty funny Khushrenada. But also maddening. I don't know whether to believe you or not...

[that Baby guy]

At least he didn't say, "Hi.  I'm Orange Paddle.  That is all."

[Mop it up]

But that would have been even more funny. Especially if people didn't believe him and started voting for him, and he really WAS the Orange Paddle.

[that Baby guy]

So what you're suggesting is that Khush is now the Orange Paddle, and not a townie at all?  What makes you say such a thing with such conviction?

[DAaaMan64]

Khush is a fail buss mafia bitch

[Pale]

What are the voting rules for this game?

[NWR_DrewMG]

Good point, I didn't specify.  Since we're still early on, I'll make sure to put something up in the Players/Rules post later today.

In the meantime, I'll say that three consecutive days of inaction get you killed.  Inaction, in this case, refers to votes, not night actions.

[Dasmos]

Why are you interested Pale? Trying to see how easy it will be for you to lay low?

[vudu]

VOTE DASMOS.  Since he's so good at this game I figure he could use the extra challenge.

[Stratos]

Since when did Thatguy become a moderator? Have I just missed it this whole time or is this just for the game?

Gues I'll just vote Mop it up for now since she voted for me.

Give me a solid lead and I will follow guys.

[BeautifulShy]

Thatguy was the host last game. Staff hasn't removed the mod powers.

Still thinking about my vote.

[vudu]

Gues I'll just vote Mop it up for now since she voted for me.

I know it's been a while since you played, so I'll cut you some slack, but you need to BOLD YOUR VOTE in order for it to count.

[that Baby guy]

As a sign of respect towards stevey's drastic change in ways, I undid my vote for him.

At this point, because Mop_it_up insists on killing Stratos in every game I've played with both of them in, I'm going to vote her out.

un-vote Mop_it_up If she changes her vote, I change mine, unless something else comes up.

[GoldenPhoenix]

vote thatguy until he changes his Mop_it_up vote. Also I think he may be defending Stratos because he is possibly EVIL. Stratos is bound to be mafia one of these times!


Edit:

OK I think I'm going to go with Mop_it_up on this one.

vote Stratos

Sad I have no idea who to vote for

[BeautifulShy]

Well this is shaping to be an interesting day.
