Mafia 80: Ghost Hunters

[Fishfriend1]

Hope everything is good chill

Just following on from what others have said, last night (my time) when it was just me and FF, I found it very interesting that he started to throw names around right after LG posted about a turning, seemed a bit nervous IMO.

Could you at least try to get ur facts strait? Fer starts, i came on about half an hour later. And then about 45 minutes passed between the turn and my first "I would have turned these people" post. It was in response to the turn itself.

A cold chill runs through the body of one of the residents, as they shiver a strange feeling comes over them.

At 7:38 LG posted the turn.

I stand corrected, people do have stuff to say. Yes, it does appear that way. It also looks like the evils get to pick who else will be evil. So, who would you pick, i would pick Ice, Wiz, Kash, JP, or JB as my first choices.

And at 8:15 i came in with my first non-joke post. It was u-n me hay, and no one else was talkin. So i figured, may as well start puttin ideas out there.

Now, can someone PLZ answer my question?! If you were the Murderer who would you have chosen from the people playing as your teammate? I will accept anything EXCEPT "I don't know". IDK is not a good answer, JP!

Now stop distracting me! i have math homework to do!

Kash, that was so long ago I would have to reread. The names that stick out to me as people that didn't play as often as others are Cj, Lucky, and Tibs. None have played for quite some time either. I think everyone else had played at least a few games before then but I'm unsure as to when Opicana started in relation to that one.

I agree with this as well. That game was so long ago, I would have to read it to remember correctly, but Lucky & Cj only played a few games (I think) and I honestly cannot recall Tibs....Opi played several games but not sure where game 47 falls into line, but Opi was a good player. She plays/played alot on another site.

As far as FF/Tigger throwing names out around, it felt to me like an attempt to cast the spotlight on a group of vets, maybe the ones he feels most threatended by? IDK, but I do not think it was helpful at all, in fact most likely the opposite; distracting and diverting?? There is no way to know who/why one player would select their first team mate. There are too many vairiables to consider.


Chill, I hope your booze cupboard is up high! Take care and try to stay dry!

For the second time...

I HAVE NEVER SAID "I DON'T KNOW"

uuummm, IDK! I would have to consider alot of things; while a vet is a strong team mate, they also could be picked off first due to their experience and threat level. A noob could be a good choice if they have the ability to play along enough but not enough to be called out. As for who I would pick - I dont really want to spend that much time making a decision that is not necessary nor helpful IMO at this point.

Now do your homework like a good boy before you get grounded. :thumbsup:

Once again we have FF either posting to hear himself talk, or an evil without a leash. Not sure which yet.

Chill stay safe, that looks pretty bad.

Really have no idea what to think yet.

I do not see how speculating on who we would pick as a first turn will help. I will play along in case I am wrong and it does help. I would pick LR, she would be the twisted strategic mind I would need to help me, who is not likely to be a first invest.

A next choice would depend on how day one played out.

:angryfire:Thats mean. Why can't it be "FF trying to help out"? Is that just not possible? Do i just not give one **** about winning? Just because i posted it does not mean its either me trying to get attention or "hear myself talk". Thats just not nice. :angryfire:

But thank you for posting you thoughts and opinions. If everyone can be as helpful, we may just win...

I'll be back some time before i go to bed... maybe...

And what team would that be?

Personally I would go for a newb. In this case I don't think Ninja would be the best option just because this is his very first game but someone like Hay, might be a good first pick.

I'm back y'all!

Most of the posts this far seem to be a lot of Day 1 banter........ I don't find it surprising that FF is one of the topics.

The thing that stands out most to me is that if the murderer was the only evil on day one and the rest of AC was alive, wouldn't the person being turned have to be killed? I don't have an explination for the shiver but why wouldn't the peson experience something at least closer to death? If he/she who felt the shiver is now a troubled spirit it just doesn't make sense. There is nothing about their lifeless body on the ground or them leaving their body so how could a living person just shiver and now be a troubled spirit?

LG, could you please clarify?

Razz, I think you're getting too caught up in semantics. The rules state this:



I don't see any other way to explain what LG posted. Someone has to be turned before nightfall and I think the murderer would want to get it done sooner rather than later so they can begin communicating asap.

Agree with Pappy. Normally the mafia "kills" and "turns" we observe happen during nightfall death scenes. That isn't the case with this first one in this game. And, actually, the turns themselves don't normally involve the town finding a corpse anywhere either. Nightfall event descriptions when someone gets turned are usually of the same kind of "shiver" variety we just saw or someone gets some kind of an odd "feeling" that cannot be explained another way. We know someone got turned because the "event" was noted by the mod... we just don't know who it was because no body was left behind for us to look at and no other player has gone suddenly absent from the game........ the turn victim is still playing, just for the other team's side.

This time, the first turn came after the game started and before the first nightfall.... right on schedule then if that's when Lady G saw the PM sent to her by the murderer last night or early this morning.

Other possibilities that might explain a shiver?.... (1) Most likely it's that the murderer chose their first teammate since that's what we already expect to happen from the rules right after the game started. (2) That could also have been a random event (the soul being switched), but I imagine that would not happen yet some 10 hours or so into the very first game day. (3) Could also be explained by a dosing from the vial, but it's hard for me to imagine anyone would risk turning an innocent into scum this early if they were innocent instead of evil when the odds against them successfully picking the murderer would be so low out of a big list of townies. For options 2 or 3 to be credible, also, means that the lone murderer still has not chosen their first teammate yet. No matter who this is, I find that unlikely.

The best conclusion in my mind is that the murderer just claimed their first soul and Lady G posted this happening in the thread as soon as she carried out the murderer's request.

Okay I don't think the answer to your question give us any real amount of help, but in the absence of anything worth commenting on that has not all ready been asked, I'll answer it anyway. The "best" players are also risky as they are always suspected. I'd go for a reasonably competent player that isn't top ranked yet. Bally would meet that bill in my opinion.

Thanks, Pappy. There were so many heavy hitters in that original game, it's hard for me to tell what Lady G opted to do with the quieter or less experienced players that time.

We have a lot of inexperienced players in this game, so it I think it helps us to get a feel at least about her options... random vs. hand picked roles or even distributing vets, noobs, or less vocal players among both sides. CJ was a ghost hunter, Lucky and Tibs were townies, and Opicana was the murderer who stayed under the town's radar.

With this in mind then, I'd say we really can't predict any role (safely) based on vet status or noobie status alone. So just about anything seems up for grabs, IMO. Beyond this, there's also no point speculating about what the game mod would or wouldn't do with role assignments.

For Chill and Noods:

Thanks for replying too. No, I definitely don't ask anyone to waste any of their time re-reading that old game just to jog their memory. I just asked this outright because we have people here who might remember and I didn't want to make assumptions, myself.

Good luck to you, Chill, with all that other stuff you have going on there.
