this is why my first reply was it shows who is active.

Games without a theme you can see who is active by if they post. I just don't see how debating what animal he is will ever get us anywhere. Its early in the game I suppose so we might as well discuss something.

Red XIII is a main character and probably the dog that Victor was referring to. However, I think you are misintentioned by assuming that Victor was not posting that purely for fun. Either he was deliberately trying to confuse people, or he is itching to claim. Somehow, I presume some combination of the former and latter.

I don't know about that..

"Sulta- I mean Sully," will always ring clear in my head.

If you played Crusades Mafia, you will know what I'm talking about. But I know that most people in this game were not in that one.

Well, I've played many games with Victor, and he often likes to take on the persona of his character.

I don't think its harmful or even beneficial to try to understand what flavor spec Victor was giving in his letter. With that said, let's not expect the letter to contain a scum-tell. Victor is more clever than that. I believe he mostly posted the letter for fun.

Also, I noticed comm9 is still in the official list but Dukasaur and max bandit are as well.

Imagine the shocker - I'm actually playing this one

hmm...zelda mafia...hosted by Mr. Squirrel...Squirrel mafia...hosted by Mr. Squirrel...I think I see a pattern...this liking probably has to do with some kind of subconscious recognition with something that Zimmah has positive feelings about. Something that fulfills Zimmah's need for trust...a need that's especially important when you're mafia and have to rely on your scum buddies...

The first part of Squirrel's name is Mr. Mr. spelled out is Mister. Mister is one letter away from being Master. Master Bush is Zimmah's scum buddy.

unvote vote Master Bush

Brilliant logic, Wolf!

Vote Master Bush.

Lol, I have never played any of theses games, I have no idea what is going on here.

Sounds legit.

Unvote. Vote Edoc.

The cat on a moog is obviously Cait, but who is the dog? In all the walkthroughs, the only mention of a dog that I could find was Rufus' guard-dog. Is there a scene after Rufus has his epiphany and becomes a good guy, where Rufus and his dog and Cait are fighting together? So is Victor claiming to be Rufus? And since we were warned that there might be multiple copies of the same character, is it possible that Victor is the "good" post-epiphany Rufus and someone else is the "evil" pre-epiphany Rufus?

I was about to mention that Rinoa had a dog, but then I remembered that it's FF7, not FF8 The most likely Dog (or close to it) that I could see being in the game is the one that was in the original Cloud's party - Red XIII. And yes, I'm pretty sure that Victor tried to let know whoever Cait that Victor knows who he is... Just a bit too obvious. Since he tried to communicate it through the thread, we can assume that they can't talk during the night, thus most likely not mafia, although that doesn't mean that they're town either. Cait Sith is a possible town member, but I can also see him in a different role, so the only thing that we get from this is that if Cait will end up not being town, Victor will be implicated.

Or it's easy brownie points for an otherwise submarining scum to appear active. Knowing game mechanics will be useful when people start claiming but it has no direct effect on seeing who is actually scum unless you believe that everyone who doesn't know game flavor is scum which is a logical fallacy.

This.

Soooo, has everyone done a standard issue round 1 joke vote?

Is there any inactives left??

NOTE: I too have never played Final Fantasy (any of them)... I'll wait for a Call of Duty Mafia game, but until then I'll just try and keep up with the chatter

Really, a COD, MWF mafia... who plays the game and actually keeps up with the story line???

You know that movie, "The Departed" with Matt Damen, Jack Nicolas, DeCaprio, Marky Mark Walhberg, Alec Baldwen etc... That would be a cool Mafia game... But once again, can anyone remember the characters names?

I know... Someone do a Zoolander mafia. Sign me up for that!

[Dukasaur]

How about a Dussander Mafia? That would be something to see!

[Commander9]

How about a Dussander Mafia? That would be something to see!

I'd say a general Stephen King mafia would be better as it has almost unlimited capabilities. I was eventually planning to host something like that before my hiatus. Oh well..

Speaking of which. Glad your back.

Thanks! It is good to be back - I'll see if I can respark my interest especially now that finals are over. I'll take only this one game and see if I've still got time and aptitude to do things like this... And who knows what will happen

And now you've just reminded me of Firefly! Gaaah!

Unvote. Vote strike wolf.

For the record, Commander was the SK in Firefly. I investigated him and got him lynched day 2. Than he replaced Sheep who had been mafia...and got lynched again when it was down to me and him. The second one wasn't really my fault so much as it was process of elimination in general. Of course if you want to start getting all reminiscent about the times I got you killed when you were scum we could also mention Buffy mafia...

Yeah, good times It's quite funny how vividly I remember most of the mafia games I've lost, but I struggle to remember most of the ones I did well and won. Firefly was one of the best games I've played in this forum, tho - the set up was great (thanks Edocsil!) and the majority of the game was extremely interesting without periods of extended nothingness like in some games. We can only hope that this game will turn something like that one.

P.S. It was more so Mandy that got me lynched in Buffy, if I'm not mistaken.

kind of. Mandy was more responsible for decimating the mafia at night. I had called you out prior to anyone but it mostly got ignored until you found yourself tangled up with Nark when Mandy and I sided against him. So I'd like to say I was 50% responsible.

Fair enough, I guess - most of my memories of that game were how great the game has been going until Mandy showed up and started killing us one after the other. Once I noticed a small shot to take him out, I tried to use it, but it was a huge mistake (I was still rather inexperienced at that time as a mafia member) that ended up getting me killed.

[DoomYoshi]

OK. Now that everyone is back and we are all a happy family again - let's start lynching people.

unvote vote Eldario You are the most inactive now.

Also, I imagine we have an Aeris in the game. However, even though you are probably the doctor, you need to die so you might as well claim now

I wonder if we can convince Square and the fanbase to accept this mafia as canon.

[Eldario]

not sure if we are down to serious voting get, but I guess better safe than sorry Unvote

Eh... I still can't believe she died. She was straight off one of my favourite characters while playing the game - I invested so much into her... And then she dies! FUUUU @ Square.

[Victor Sullivan]

Dear diary,

Some punk kid stole my Materia today I had to hunt her down (which was not easy) and take it back. Bitch doesn't know who she's messin' with. Shinra and AVALANCHE would bow to us - if only I could find them... *sigh* I swear kids don't give people the respect they deserve these days. They're so rude.

Sincerely,

-Sulta- I mean Sully

Eff that I am pissed off that NOBODY dies anymore. I feel the games are so dumbed down and there isn't much emotion left when nothing groundbreaking really happens.

Final Fantasy 2 (SNES, I think its actually FF IV) was by far my fave.
8 was my second favorite

[Rodion]

I'll be prodding on demand.

Largely agreed with this. Just like in Hollywood - you know they are going to survive I am normally a fan of unexpected, great twists (something of a Fight Club like twist) or dramatic events (American History X) - I guess it was just a shocker when she died,as I didn't expect that at all and was really attacher to Aerith. Then again, it was one of the things that made the game great, so I really shouldn't be complaining.

P.S. I'd say FF8 was probably my favourite out of all Final Fantasy games.
