Mafia #76 Game Thread: Revenge of the Nerds

[IceH2O]

Zaffy, if it is not too late, can I step into Pir's slot and play this round? I missed the sign up thread and it sounds like fun!

Not a problem in my book...

Well, since nightfall will be 5pm my time I will still be at work so I have to put a vote in now before I go.

I vote to lynch Ice

Mainly for so trying so hard to defend his real life coolness. Its weak, I know but it's all I got for now. Ice we've played with ya enough to know you would be the epiphany of coolness in real life

Is that the best you really could come up with?

erv: OMG, so I'm a dork!! Yeah, guess it would be 9 my time AHAHAHAHAHA!

I retract my vote one Ice

Its obvious LG can't decipher time zones, not very geeky huh...LOL

This is what I get for being an overactive geek and enjoying the role :lol:

I see a lot of would-be jocks out there that aren't piping up.. I think we need to hit them first and hard. Who hasn't said a peep this game and has been flying under the radar? Sounds like a jock thing to do to let the geeks turn on themselves!

Well I see enough people have asked you to explain who you see, then I read and its just the players that have questioned you.

My post implied that I was pointing at the low-posters.. Or people who have only posted to instigate *cough*Lady G*cough*

If you read the pages following, her comments started the discussion line re: jbradt and myself. If you fail to see that then there is really nothing more I can say. LadyG is not currently on my radar, does that mean she and I are in cahoots?

Here you point out LG, then in another post you say LG isn't on your radar. Which is it?

Ok, so it seems that bunch of people jump onto pat, and then he shrugs it off with more of a non-sense post. That makes it sound to me like he is trying to go under the radar by not arguing or making a big case in his defense. IME when I'm innocent I ALWAYS try as hard as possible to prove so, (and when I'm guilty:silly: too but thats a different story entirely) Anyways, I find it strange that he has gotten so many votes so quickly. Would hate to see him turn innocent, but for lack of better suspects I vote to lynch pat
If pat shows up tonight and makes a good case against some other players then he might prove himself innocent. Do you have anything to say for yourself pat?


so you point fingers at LG but don't provide any suppourting evidence? Any posts in particular that strike your attention?

Agree 100%, its very hit or miss with the voting on D1.


I agree JM, i would like to see these posts he is refering too.

Veeery interesting.... I'm not used to this style of play out of rich, you tend to have short (but meaningful) posts, but they are ussually very spread out across the whole game. It seems like you are much much more active this game, and for that I'm going to keep an eye on you.

I broke this post down because it was long and filled with fluff. I kept the important parts.

I have a problem with UNs quote I put in red. Its strange that so many piled on but you vote him anyway? If you hadn't skimmed you'd see people only spoke of voting him. I don't think he actually has many votes. Unless I missed it Dawg was the only official vote.
Then you say you'd hate for him to show innocent but further down in the post you attack him by pulling posts of others questioning him. For someone you hate to have to vote for because you don't have other suspects you sure did try to build a case.

one of your locker room buddies teach you that?

On another note I'm actually feeling the get Patrick thing is scummier than Patrick is. Seems like a good idea for the scum to keep him in the forefront after a blown up/not that scummy statement.
Im thinking someone in their that has brought Patrick back up if his name is not mentioned for a bit and has made little helper statements to keep people focused on him. Not sure who fits best have to go look this over again.

Almost the same to you Mav. You start out accusatory then switch gears to defense.


Day 1 sucks,well known that the odds of getting mafia are slim but it has happened.Most times we just lynch the most outspoken person of the day.
PP has seemed to slip, he did ignore questions, he then learned to multiquote. His list is those who questioned him.
To me that equates to new player no team IMO and my vote won't fall there.



I vote to lynch UN


His post is the most contradictory I've seen on Day 1 in a while.

Alright so you call Lady G out, give a weak reason for "pointing your finger at her" then say she isn't on your radar? I have absolutly no clue how that can be.....

If your strategy is going to be: take the person the talks the most, try and corner him and demand he defends himself then go for it. It may be a game but it's not fun anymore :/

g/o: I am sorry that you feel that way and I hope you don't think badly of me outside the game. I have been in your shoes (several times) and, trust me, once you get the hang of things it does get better and more fun. g/o

It is a game and don't take anything personally. It becomes fun even when under the knife off everyone once you get the hang of it.

A few things are standing out to me right now. UN's post above which is calm and well composed. Like JM said, he's usually pretty erratic.

Rich is giving me a bad feeling. I can't quite put my finger on it but something about his posting is different.

Then of course there is Patrick. Seems to be a little dodgy yet over confident. He went from not quoting at all to a full out multi-quote post. I was wrong a couple games ago about Bally being coached so I'm inclined to think that about Patrick now.

I'm not confident on voting anyone yet. I hate the crapshoots of day one.

Something is different? LOL He has more posts so far Day 1 then the 50+ games he has played in total. But I don't see anything scummy in them,just glad to see him posting more. Now if it slows down then I'll wonder.





K bb later, dinner and son wants on after but I'll be back before night.

Sorry, at my EMT job and my less-than-intelligent patients are causing me to get snappy.

Almost the same to you Mav. You start out accusatory then switch gears to defense.

Had to toss out that first part but I didn't really see learning multiquote as truly relevant as its not that hard to figure out. Second part of my statement is where I really am at this point


there is a storm rolling in and that often screws with the satellite so I will get my vote in now just in case. I vote to lynch DirtyDawg same reasoning as before just don't like him jumping in with the early vote then dissapearing

Well I only played with RB a few times and I never really noticed that he was quiet until later, but if everyone thinks this is normal then ok. Now that being said, I still would like to hear more from him.

I would yell, but I have a touch pad keyboard....

 

[Dangerdoll]

I'm going to go with Jack Kirby. He is the only real person The rest were created by himself and Mr. Stan Lee..!

So do we geeks, we just don't get any, unless we found software companies.

for the geeks in my neck of the woods, the hardware is where it's at...

*puffs inhaler*

OMG this is funny

I agree with lab, we need to start talking about how we are going to sort out jocks. We all need to get some names out there and up the post count. It would be very easy for scum to hide down with the people who only have one or two posts.

So I will start. My top suspect is Pat. He seems to have made a slip up and when caught chose to ignore all the questions that were asked. I find that scummy. If you really wanted to help the town (sorry ACU) you would answer those questions and give out your thoughts.

My second suspect is RB. He only has one post out of the 180 some posts as of now?!?! He is down there with Pir (who had a reason) and Noods (who wanted to get into the game). This far along he could of at least posted something to get us talking.

Like I said RB is the only player that has just one post. Other low posters include:

Rb- 1
Judge- 2
DD- 3

for those4 of you interrested, I work from 8-4:30, often leaving work at 5... so I am not always so able to get to the site... when I can, I do... if not, I am here after work

I think Razz finally gets to pick on the low posters without sounding hypocritical. But I agree, especially since Rb rarely shares anything on D1, DD is typically a lower poster, and for all I know Jmax has something going on in RL. Short day or not, we are just over 24 hours into the game. You can't expect people to post a lot.

Which brings me to this question: Why so attacking all of a sudden? I don't remember ever seeing you like this but to be honest it has been a while since I played with you. You're rather talkative.

pap, Chill has 10 posts up to this point.... you really think Chill is rather talkative with having 10 out of over 200 posts? Looks like you might be reaching.

I'm watching you Bally, trying to tag onto LadyG and fly back under the radar.

Not no more.

Who is teaming up now?

Ice, you're right. Bally is trying to start someone and is on my list.

See next quote

Real quick to switch sides? First you defend me, then you suspect me :footinmouth:

Done and doner.

More to come now that I've learned the use of multi-quote.

For now on my list: Ballyhoo, jbradt, Lab_Rat, Razzlefish (no particular order).

not sure of the sarcasm herre but this is a double negative... as for Done and Doner, that is obvious sarcasm but I can't be sure in the bolded text. Did you "know" that was a double negative or is this how you speak?

Dawg does that a lot, IME.

 

[Rbishop]

I would think Zaffy could do at least one vote tally for us....I agree we need fluff on day one to hope for some slip ups to help in day one random shots in the dark, but DANG!
Some of you really seem to NOT have to try at all to be Geeky. Almost seems as if you were posting out in the forums..LMAO!

 

[maverickbr77]

Anyone else have input on Dawg?
I don't know player styles so just going on what I see
