The Streaking has come to an end.... but it was never expected, and certainly not expected to last.

I want to say it was when D-Lo go hurt that the tide turned, but i didn't see it happen as I was on the road at halftime, and didn't get back infront of a TV until just before halfway through the 3rd... by that  point, the damage was done. D-Lo came back in the 4th, but the game was already out of reach without a Hot-Hand Klay and/or Super Nova Curry on the active roster.

It's all good though. Fun while it lasted. 1st half was good to watch though. Both teams were on FIRE from downtown. We just couldn't keep it up in the 2nd half, and The Mavs kept right on rolling.

D'lo going for a loose ball and his head collided with Lucas hip.  It at first looked like D'lo and Luka were going to collide head to head until D'lo moved his head to the right and he ended up hitting Lukas hip. 

Hope D'lo is okay.  I feel bad for the Warriors with all these injuries that are just coming in waves.

Lakers and Suns broke their losing streak.  Suns are climbing in the rankings and is the 10th seed. Jumping up two spots tonight from 12th in the west.  Next game for the Suns is the Blazers who are 1.5 games ahead of the Suns. Piviotal matchup for the Suns.   

Also good and bad is the Jazz won versus the Clippers, which is good for the Laker fan in me and bad because the Suns have a higher climb to catch up with the Jazz.

Yeah I guess I could join.  Been over 5 years since I last played so might as well see what happens.

The last time I left for 5 years and I came back I won the game so you never know what might happen.  If you have any questions be sure to ask me.

And with 2 more players signing up we have 8 players.  Thank you for returning to play the game you two.

Well I went through all 213 pages of my PMs and if I ever sent you a PM or have played in a Mafia game you will have received a message about game and signups.  Only exception is thatguy as he said he wasn't going to play this time around.  So I have messaged 38 people about the game. 


  If anyone has any questions about the game or something that I may have forgotten about just post in the thread.

Get a Nintendo Switch Lite and play more of my Steam/3DS backlog are the main ones.

Also, weird one maybe, but if the Final Fantasy:Crystal Chronicles remake is good, that might be fun to try with forum people? I've never played it on GameCube.

I played it on the Cube but it was always a 1 player affair for me since the requirements were somewhat difficult to put together to play in multiplayer.  It is a fun game and the different species offer lots of different forms of replayablity.

Anyway, @BeautifulShy, I won't be signing up for the Resident Evil mafia, but that's because I have to moderate how much I play these things or I can go overboard.

That is okay.  Everyone has to manage how much they play or not as these games can get very in-depth in someones mind.   See you another time. I was going to send out invites once this thread is locked.   It was a joy to play with you again even though I didn't get to play that much.

I am wondering if a 36 hour game day might work better going forward.  Then having night actions go maybe a hour or two after the lock thread. With players being able to send in actions earlier during the day.   

But yes that Mario Party game is actually a really good example of players being able to do different things during the day.

Clippers were playing zone most of the game and they dealt with this sort of thing in the Miami game.  They just played into the Clippers hands by shooting 3s and driving and finding the right man.  It was frustrating to watch.  Kuzma went off in the 1st half and he was benched most of the 4th quarter.

I will agree the 1st day was frontloaded a bit with all the different actions happening that day.  Aside from the typical things one would expect in a Mafia game like night actions and the possible tie breaking choice. There was the Race Leader which is actually a good idea as it takes the role of Townie Whore and makes it a permanent thing.  Only thing I might have changed with the mechanic is if said player with the Race Leader dies that player can select a player to have it but on the next day or the day after put up a poll and ask if the receiving player should keep the Race Leader.   

So using this games instance.  I am the race leader and I die and I select Khushrenada to be the Race Leader.  You as a host put up a new poll asking if Khushrenada should keep the Race Leader.  At the end of the game day you tally votes and if the votes say yes Khushrenada keeps it and if not then the next day a new poll is put up with the remaining players and a new Race Leader is chosen. If Khushrenada dies it goes back to them picking a new successor and then the cycle continues from there.

As far as dead players being utilized in the game it has happened a few times on this forum.  stevey's Super Smash Brawlfia game and I think my Teen Titans Mafia game which both are complex and mixed as far as reception goes to put it kindly.  Still it is an interesting thing to think about.   

I did enjoy myself even if I died early on.  I gotta figure out a better way to play that isn't out there and in peoples faces that work with most roles. Most players 1st time hosting is not always perfect but you can grow from this and improve. Thanks for hosting Steefosaurus.

I didn't really care that much. I just wanted to make a veiled political joke. If it was a game with a prize I might have cared though. I like my collection of Green Lantern comics and my Wii U smb3 copy.

I mostly followed Pokepal's lead.  I figured out that lolmonade was the doctor through some actual detective work. Pokepal had everyone figured out right before he got eliminated. When lolmonade went we lost our shield. Then it was 50/50 at that point because of how even things were. The Mafia maintained the advantage because we were still iffy about 2 people. One thing Pokepal should have corrected was the group private messages. I messaged people mostly directly. This makes leaks harder. If you leak to the wrong person then you lose.

Also, I'm really confused who is That Baby Guy? He was in our PM list. I don't think I played much of a solid game. I got pretty confused about times too.

That Baby Guy was thatguy.  I think he had Khushrenada change his name to something that worked for the roleplaying as Baby from Super Monkey Ball. So yeah having the Godfather in the group PMs spelled doom. 

Also yeah having Group PMs can be great and it works if you talk generally and not specifics.  I sometimes respond directly to someone if I need to tell someone something.

On the Laker front tomorrow is the Xmas game versus the Clippers and it looks like everyone is going to be playing.  AD and LeBron versus Kawhi and George.  Also Rondo and Kuzma will be back who missed the season opener so that should be very helpful.   I am thinking a Laker win although it will be close.

I'm pretty sure no one was watching yesterday besides me, but I tuned in and watched these boys playing DEFENSE. They were making appropriate switches, and communicating enough to switch off mismatches and keep the opposing offense from getting easy ball movement.
It wasn't perfect, but damn was it nice to see them playing like a team that knew what it was doing.

We had a 25 point lead at one point if I remember correctly, and even though they let the lead slip at the beginning of the 4th, partially because of Dray being overzealous with aggressive passing attempts, it was a good 3.5 Qtr effort that lead to our first 2 game win streak this season.

Now we gotta play the Rockets tomorrow..... I don't see that going well at all, but maybe we get an Xmas surprise?

I didn't actually see the game as I was watching the Suns versus the Nuggets at the time but I did see D'lo score like 25 of something at some point in the game. Warriors are healthy aside from Curry and Klay but I was kinda surprised yesterday at the result.  Now the Suns next game is against the Warriors up in the bay area. This has got to be a game where we win and break our skid in the standings because the 3rd and 4th game is going to be Blazers and Lakers which I don't think we are going to win.

Yeah, sorry Perm. I got caught up with finals and then holiday stuff. Definitely left NWR and the game out of my head. I had meant to go through the threads at some point, but never got around to it.

I was kinda wondering if the first day vote had anything to do with your absence.  I mean you, MASB and Lucario ended up voting for pokepal and on day 2 we knew who pokepal was.  I guess it might of not been a factor though.

The trick, pokepal, is that I often operate pretty crazy regardless of which role I get and which side I am. It makes things a lot more interesting.

This is true.
Also trust thatguy early on, late game and he is still alive. Vote him out.

As a fan of the Lakers, Clarkson was on the Lakers for a time and he is a great facilitator and scorer.  You probably won't get much defensively but he can rebound decently for a guard.

Quote from thatguy

I was under the impression (Maybe wrongly so?) that Cupid could pair himself with someone, so I figured that would be a move Khushrenada would try, and dismissed him as Cupid.

  Cupid could pair themselves with someone else or pair two different people.  I had sent some PMs to Khushrenada about using the role and how we could use it to our advantage.  I think I suggested pairing Lucario with a suspected Mafia member as the 1st day was closing to Khushrenada before I was notified I died.

 Khushrenada messaged me and he chose Stratos and Mr. Bungle to be paired together earlier in some messages .  I guess in retrospect that wasn't entirely true but it was a nice switch and surprise for me. I was wondering if the play on the Pairing was a way to get 2 for 1 in Mafia members or just a way to narrow things down on possible searches.  It very well could have been both but it kinda didn't work if they thought one of them could of been Mafia. Still a good play one way or another.     

Personally speaking if I was hosting and there was a cupid role I would of made one change to it and have the deadline be at the end of Day 2 instead of at the end of the first day.

I just never saw the point of it. It seemed like it would just lead to infighting among the mafia, and the point of the game is for them to work together. I probably only would have thought to use it if the godfather was absent and it was the only way we could have hit anybody that night.

This did happen in the game.  I was wondering about the no hit on Day 3 I want to say.

I am kinda curious if there was a reason why Insanolord didn't send in any changed hits?  I like the role and it in part would of been similar to one of the roles I had to cut in my last RE Mafia game and it could of been interesting.

Had I been alive past the 1st night I would of talked with you more Mr. Bungle I guess in part that was my fault going all out with a role where I thought I could play like I usually do. Still the one thing I want to say is that as a normal townie you can afford to be more aggressive and make different guesses out on the field.  After a few days looking back on past votes may gleam different clues once a Mafia member is gone from the game. Sometimes they are good insights and sometimes they are bad this can happen all the time with any player. In any case good game Mr. Bungle and I hope you play the next game.
