[Official]H.P. Lovecraft Mafia Endgame

[betiko]

yeah this is really weird, i don't know if there is mafia as such (witches?), but i think kanin is probably right i think there will be more than 1 third party group

[edocsil]

URG, So much time spent ignoring Stickies, now I need to keep tabs on one.

Anyhow, yeah.

Many 3rd parties is going to be the way I think. See Com9's last mafia for my best guess.

[jonty125]

I have never heard of Lovecraft but anyhow the town is Arkham, lord voldemort is hosting the Batman game which is held in Arkham, therefore he has knowledge. He hasn't given us that knowledge on the first post of the day so vote lord voldemort for withholding.

Vote Jonty Because obviously we are talking scifi. I havent even read/seen anything about lovecraft before and it is quite apparent after 3-4 pages of talk about it. This seems to be a pathetic attempt at throwing out a vote and hoping someone will take the bait and go too far with it.

unvote vote ghostly because you seem to take seriously a jokevote

How do you not take it seriously? Sarcasm doesnt transfer over the computer, so the only thing I can assume (not knowing Jonty's play too well) is that he was actually serious and was skimming. Nothing in there says sarcasm except that we are in the joke voting stage.

So, you quote betiko instead of me, and call me a skimmer?

Ghostly look up the word Kairos. It's a big deal to know what the timing and context of a situation is, and Jonty's vote is an obvious joke because of it. The joke transferred just fine, it's that you don't know you mythology so well. Arkham in Batman was stolen from older legends that are referenced in Lovecraftian stuff. Jonty is in jest claiming both Arkhams as the same entity. This is an obvious fallacy, and a decent joke.

Mafia and Cult are in game fo sure. However I'm not sure if its town as a collective or 3rd party roles. Either way Scum needs to die along w/ CL.

[rishaed]

Oh and jak? You really shouldn't vote yourself

rishaed is replacing jak111 effective immediately.

Because in a round about way you really are voting yourself just in another game

Can we please just think about this for a second? If it is sooo obvious you meant it as a joke, how is it not sooo obvious that I used that as what I thought regarding the post? In other words, going off the words you posted I figured you were skimming.

Edoc, different minds think different things. I understand that it could have been sarcasm, but if you have played a game with me (and you have played plenty) you should know that I am rather quick to not let something get dropped too quickly. It doesnt help that I am just coming back so anything sets me off (refer to the other game I am in, Batman). I am just trying to readjust back to my normal playing, and with that I Unvote Jonty.

[Commander9]

I don't know much, but back in the day I was into standard RPGs (D&D, Gurps, Vampire the Masquerade...) there was a not-so-famous-but-pretty-admired one called Call of Cthullu. I got to play it once in an event. You basically play with run-of-the-mill humans and invariably you either die or survive and lose your sanity (so I've been told).

I know this game was based in Lovecraft's work, but I don't know much about it, nor how vast his work is besides Cthullu.

Vote Commander9 for being Commander9.

I am convinced by your argument.

Vote Commander9.

I really don't have anything to add to the discussion at this point, but I don't want to be inactive in this game. I'll rescind my joke vote and continue to monitor the thread.

Hmm, in order give us some more stuff to discuss and to keep you involved I am going to ask you some questions. You can respond however you wish, but note that your reaction will color my opinion of you for the rest of the game.
1. Do you think this game has a traditional scum faction?
2. Do you think this game has a cult?
3. What do you make of these rule details:

5. Once I post your death scene, you may not speak in the thread at all unless I say otherwise, goodbye messages are not allowed at all in this game for certain reasons.
7. Night talk is not permitted at all in this game for certain reasons

4. What do you think is the most important thing for you to do
A: in this game
B: and on Day 1 on specifically
in order to achieve your win condition?

Well, I wouldn't say we know the cult are in the game. Are you saying you KNOW cult is in the game?

+commander and rodion who both voted commander, might be some other misses. anyway since they are all jokevotes..

[Iron Butterfly]

We need 14 votes for a lynch.

Several people have either not posted or have posted minimally. This is a big game and i am sure people will fall through the cracks. I suggest we put pressure on those inactive/submarining.

We could also follow Spiesr's line to get the most people involved.

I just realized somthing.

perhaps / has made an error but with 26 people playing why would we only need 12 to lynch? I always thought it should be half plus 1?

I don't think it is a mistake.

With 26 alive, it takes 12 to lynch, this is not a mistake.

I believe your thoughts are answered by this:

Deadline is in one week, The 17th
Day One begins.

We could also follow Spiesr's line to get the most people involved.

Also, in the rules post, it says that unless we declare a no lynch vote, then:

9. Deadline is 7 days from the begining of the day, if the deadline is reached without a lynch or "no lynch" in place, there is a 50% chance of either the person with the highest number of votes dying, or the day ending with no death. Reasonable extension is available upon request.

So we need to be EXTREMELY CAREFUL about pressuring inactives with votes.

[betiko]

well unvote vote victor sullivan. i didn't even know he was in the game (one of the few who didn't even confirm), so many people are slacking here. What i hate is that people would come in ad defend themselves could get lynched and inactive just need to stay inactive. I'm not even sure we have "traditional" mafia, nor cops, docs ect in this game, it seems like it's really a very particular game...
if days are going to have 1week deadlines it's gonna be hard to makea case and lynch anyone given the amount of answers. the questions spiesr came up with are good, but why even bother answering? you'd rather sit an watch, don't take any risk.

let me see where we are now concerning inactives, in bold the ones who confirmed, the bigure after is the number of posts so far:

in red completely inactive, in orange submariners. note that players such as doom may have 2 posts but we know the content of every single post so far

Seriously Skimming Saf? If you missed the first time I addressed this with the reason why here it is again. My vote there was a joke vote but im going to FOS you for either skimming or just "forgetting" that I wrote this the first time you brought this up.

Looks like we're getting down to business now.

1. Do you think this game has a traditional scum faction?
2. Do you think this game has a cult?

I'll answer these backwards, since it'll make my explanation easier.

2. Based on flavour I do believe we're going to see a cult. Cults are featured quite heavily in Lovecraft's writings. IIRC (and admittedly it's been a while since I read Lovecraft) Horror at Red Hook, Shadow of Innsmouth and At the Mountains of Madness had cult-like groups.
Looking back through the posts, I also found this:

From my Role PM I am absolutely sure that there is Cult in this game.

1. Depending on what cult can do, we may see a traditional mafia but it's likely to be small.
I went looking again, and found this:

Mafia and Cult are in game fo sure. However I'm not sure if its town as a collective or 3rd party roles. Either way Scum needs to die along w/ CL

Clearly rishaed knows quite a bit, so I think we should hear from him.

vote no lynch

I am pretty sure everyone has a pretty cool role. Let's let everyone go into night.

Why are you trying to look like a Jester? (No really, I want a real answer.)

I agree. Perhaps his role requires him to be lynched first for it to be activated.

[Swifte]

betiko - Sully's not been on CC since Oct 2nd, for whatever that's worth. Just jumped out at me cause someone was noting his absence again in Live Chat the other day.

Personally this is my second game and I still don't really get the whole joke vote thing. I will say though, that if we could just ignore the game for a few days and have hippo read aloud to us some HP Lovecraft I think it could be just as fun!

One thing I observed so far...

3. What do you make of these rule details:

5. Once I post your death scene, you may not speak in the thread at all unless I say otherwise, goodbye messages are not allowed at all in this game for certain reasons.
7. Night talk is not permitted at all in this game for certain reasons

Taking a closer looki at /'s original post...

Should you be unlucky enough to witness certain events, your own mind may quickly deteriorate into psychotic new roles, you may even die, but don't count on it being the end, "even death may die", says the Necronomicon, and with madmen abound searching morgues in the pursuit of science, you should believe it.

Sounds like there is potential for either dead coming back to life, or perhaps role(s) that can communicate with the dead from beyond the grave? Not sure how that would relate to the rule about night talk, but at least might give an indication why the rule about communication from the dead exists.
