Greed Island Mafia |OT|: *Insert joke here*
- Thread starter Fran
- Start date
Bear is very by-the-book and that's what feels grrr, since there is nothing else so far. The explanation is there and there are time zones to consider so it can be absolutely nothing as long as he boots up before Stu does.
Geno makes a joke. Could be cover. Could be banter from a position of comfort and that could mean anything. I myself don't have the pre-conceived notion of seeing Geno as some gigantic mastermind of utter terror, so I was turned off by the fire under his tail.
Dubs on the other hand sees the joke as a straw and grasps it. It is the oddest reaction to Geno imo. New player-ish but I think Dubs has some games under him? The response when rebuked feels similar as well - Dubs just backs off when called on it. Sorian seemed to imply that this is normal-ish for Dubs soooo...? Remains to be seen?
Bit or even somewhat more interested in Dubs' future actions than Bear's for now.

Geno coming from your previous successes as the host of not one but two [Mafia] games infamous for their custom-made Role mechanics, what inspired you to join a game in which you can exercise a similar level of creativity in the raw execution of creation itself albeit subject to its own host's set regulations on how creative you could be; in a sense, returning to mortality from godhood?
tbf, I fell asleep before the game started for an hour or so. When I woke up, there had been several pages I had to read through.
If I was awake, I'd probably be one of the first posters like usual lol.
Wasn't a particularly helpful read through. Didn't get much from the Salva + Monkey discussion and I don't really feel good about anyone.
Muffin is interesting for being about 100% filler so far despite quite a few posts but the serious discussion was only really just starting when he stopped posting. Will be watching for how he resumes posting (and might look back at some previous D1s of his)
It's fairly obvious that the 'kill sorian D1' acts as a D1 lunchproof for him as any suspicions are overlooked for being the meme. Meanwhile similarly active players (from top of memory Sneeks and Bear) have been lunched D1 before.
This post is ehh, usually I'd agree with you but with this roster concentrating on mid to low posters is limiting the scope of investigation rather than the other way round. I consider 5 of us fairly low posters (me, Zipped, Donna, Malus and Kyan) so we're not lacking for activity or anything.

Not as many posts as I expected after all...
Stiff? Mate, I made around 10 posts in the first hour. That gotta be a first for me. I don't think I ever started as relaxed (or chatty) into a game :D
Listen to this lady, she speaks truth.
Hello to those fellow Townies I didn't greet yet :)
Nice. And I thought I made crazy games...
Dr. Monkey building off of how you responded to my earlier query; if you were hypothetically Mafia-aligned, and armed with the knowledge to wit that in the context of this particular game, it would be the potential for self-actualisation that you would be ripping from the figurative heart of one of your fellow players Tonight besides their figurative life, would you still do it, especially having sworn the Hippocratic Oath?
It's only six hours in, so it may be that there just isn't anything else, but Kyan's two posts give easy takes on almost all points of discussions I remember in this game so far (except for policy-lynch-Sorian-or-dont, which, I dunno, isn't entirely serious I think?)
Also, I don't really get why Monkey is Town-Reading Salva. There are quite a few posts that rub me in a strange way, I don't like it. I can't even specifically pinpoint to one (Maybe I could if I could be arsed to go through his posts again, but not rn. Maybe later. Point still is that none of them specifically rubbed me enough to add them to the multi-quote collection I gathered while going through the thread). It's just an overall gut feeling.

Feels bad to agree with Sorian but I got the same impression. I dont really get why Sneeks would mention him as someone she would shoot, and her reasoning wasnt very convincing.
Why though? I'm being honest here. Was planning to make a role to modconfirm me as neutral in the event I got that alignment. Didnt pan out. If it did, I wouldnt spoil the surprise and tell you about it :P
Bluffing your nen type is viable too, you know. As we know from a certain chain user
To be perfectly honest - I love hunter x hunter, so I didn't want to pass it as a theme for the game.
One more bit of fluff before I leave to do the things I need to do: if we have an sk in this game who knows hxh I will be very disappointed if you didn't create a role around this character (manga spoilers) https://hunterxhunter.fandom.com/wiki/Rihan
Send it, it powers me up.
For real though am I really being looked at for a joke? Oh well, keep up the busywork to look town friends. Also Salva looks to me as town.
Mostly gut, also I don't see scum being so active D1 but then again it's my first game with him.
Hmm, Gut I can understand (D1 is mostly gut lol) but I wouldn't expect a "I don't see scum being so active on D1" type answer from you.
I wouldn't expect a question like "why do you say this, you know Geno's role?" from a scum player, feels like a raw reaction to a post. Also reading the opening post a gain it says we were divided in 2 teams so maybe no Neutrals but then again I give away everything in flavor and Fran maybe doesn't so who knows.
Then I would have to read 10 pages.
Anyway, between Salva and Monkey I think Monkey comes away looking a bit scummier.
Town lean for Sawneeks.
Geno's entrance wasn't anything I would try to analyze further. Not sure why people piled on it to be honest.
B-Dubs reaction was a bit exaggerated in my opinion, but I'm not sure I want to put him into Scum lean territory for it yet.
Bears entrance on the other hand was a bit rocky, so he gets the slightest of scum leans.
If I had to shoot anyone right now, It would probably be blarg because I would worry about him later on in the game.
He could be a good candidate for lunch yeah, though we are still early in this day so we'll see how the day goes ^^
I honestly don't know if you bothered to read my posts where multiple times I said your focusing in on her wasn't a tunnel in an alignment sense, but hey keep up the faux outrage. I wanted to understand if there was intention behind your badgering when there appeared to be none. You ask me how I'm interpreting your questioning of her, but my entire point has been that I'm not seeing the reasoning behind it. Now you seem to actually be drawing conclusions from it though so maybe there was a point to your series of posts. Walk me through what she did and said that led to you going from null to town on her.
The tone of both felt very "aw shucks, not I". People love dropping jokes with half truths in them, so it popped out at me.
I think Fran implied the special type roles could be made into neutrals.
Share some more on your scum leans on Monkey and Bear
Is Blarg the player you worry most about from the roster? Why?
I'm going to spend more time catching up than playing in this game, so
Salva reads like town to me right now. Their posting was plentiful and messy in a way that I don't see scum getting into so early in the first day.
Bears posts don't read well to me but they said they haven't played in a while. Felt like they were picking away at something when nothing was there.
Keep seeing people have expectations of certain players having wild roles which is the worst.

Thoughts? You haven't struck out to me this game, which is weird given how much you like to post. I'm trying to remember if you just like mid game more.
Something about Royal gives me pause, and when I thought about it more it was the confidence he came in with. I know a lot of people were feeling themselves because of their roles but it stood out to me.
Salva is kind of all over the place, but I'm not sure that's alignment indicative. He just seems to be reacting more strongly than I'd expect to you, Sorian, Monkey, whoever, but that's apparently in line with how he plays, so I'll just lean null on this. I'm not sure how to take the Monkey/Salva interaction. It seemed like Monkey was prodding as she does which Salva definitely didn't like and it kind of spiraled.
Which brings us to Monkey. I don't know. I feel like in some capacity Monkey has been reaching in her posts, and the question is if it's for good reason. It's D1 though and I understand why some liberties might need to be taken to get more information. We also see the 'maybe' resurgence of the buddycop Monkey/Saw duo which makes me hesitant. Saw has been a wildcard that I've been feeling bad and good about this game.
I know that there are quite a few players on the roster that would normally worry me as scum, but honestly, I am worried the most about blarg right now as I feel his silliness will make him a hard read for me personally later on although I could say the same about kyaa.
So you could say right now based on me worrying about trying to figure them out later on that both blarg and kyaa are on my panic list.
What exactly is well played here? He only has like 3 posts so far.
This is wild. @Turmoil you're not going to look into Bear today? I mean, unless he does something blatantly scummy.
Right now, kyan.
That is just my current thoughts right now though - like I said above, those two worry me because I feel like they will be hardest for me to figure out later on which makes them a scary combo to me right now.
Hm. You're not worried about a town circle forming and the town leader being scum?
One of them where he died D1 he was scum in Marvel Mafia so what are you talking about?
And that's what I took to completely pocket me! What a skilled player
Like, if he comes and claims scum I would vote for him without second thoughts, but for today I would let him pass
Didn't play that one.
IIRC I'm talking of The Mansion and Brexit 2(town and neutral respectively)
It just occured to me that I don't know what your read of Monkey is.
