There's something which I REALLY don't get. This night, either you didn't use your ability or your ability was used but you were roleblocked. That's what we have read so far.

OK, question is: don't you realize that's REALLY UNLIKELY? even if we HAD that many roleblockers/jailkeepers they would be more likely to hit players which didn't use their abilities anyway. The possibilities of this happening in Night 1 (when nobody has information about abilities) are absurdly low.

Therefore, either we were affected by a global roleblocker, or at least one of the players claiming to have been roleblocked is lying. and, as we know already that at least one player DID use his abilities (Geno), then we have someone lying.

QFT, except it's not a global roleblocker because my ability went through fine.

"Suggesting a mass action claim is a tactic I have yet to come across in any previous MG Mafia games, probably because it is just as likely to hurt the Town as to help it."

This doesn't make any sense. Firstly, it's not a mass claim. People like Vigs and whatever are, of course, not expected to say why they didn't use an ability. That's common sense. Secondly, I'm confident that I'm not the only investigative role, since my character isn't the most dirt-digger-upper while there are a multitude of others in the show. On top of that, my role is very acid-washed in that it doesn't give a ton of information, just a basic description of the character. No alignment or anything. There has to be an actual cop.

'I've never seen anything like this in a Mafia game but if we did it it would DEFINATELY be anti-town'. Well even though it's not a mass claim, just telling people to not fear the mafia so much and to come forward, how are you so convinced it would be bad for the town? I suppose if for some reason we all gave mafia detailed descriptions of our roles (which is jot what a mass claim is) they could pick off the power roles, but i don't think there are roles in this game designed to carry everyone, i'd expect it's pretty balanced.

Well, it isn't OMGUS because 135 is voting me, not Geno.

And 135 probably isn't part of Walt's group if he thinks that Walt is mafia.

It could mean he is mafia or 3rd party, or is just a townie not associated with Walt. I dunno.

Preedit: Thank you, I'd love to get ninja'd by several posts xD

OMGUS is when someone accuses someone, so they accuse them back?

Okay well then @135 i would like to direct you to my first read of you, I had a scum hint on you from the beginning, and it's only gotten worse. Don't confuse your bandwagon read on me with an actual read due to strange posts. And certainly don't treat my scum read on you as OMGUS, that's silly.

WAIT!

Geno, I'm sorry but.

Ockam's razor has shown me the truth.

Effectively someone is lying. The chances are
1) Every single player except you is collectively lying and/or were roleblocked by multiple blockers
2) You are lying: You roleblocked everyone (or a buddy did) and you are claiming to have been able to use your ability to throw confusion over the town.

Sorry, but the simplest explanation is more likely.

Unvote. Vote: Geno

Oh come the hell on. You're going for the "simplest" conclusion simply because it is simple? That goes against everything mafia is. I'm not lying about using my ability and it actually going through, there was no universal roleblocker last night, people just aren't explaining.

also, just because it's a simple explaination doesn't mean the chance of it happening is higher than a more complicated one.

I used my ability and got that small sliver of info on Axel.

Hm... Once again sorry for inactivity.

Not liking 135's "case" on Geno.
I haven't seen anything that sticks out as scummy from him today.

Not gonna vote just yet. Want to see more. Please BE MORE ACTIVE. PLEASE.

Where's the post you promised?

I honestly doubt you have an ability.

As for the replacement, I honestly have no clue what to do about it. I messaged Den and didn't get a response, essentially everyone who plays this game is either already in the game, replaced out, or doesn't want to play. I really don't want to just modkill the slot because that would be retarded. Ideas/new recruits would be appreciated.

Ach, deadline.

Axel, the long post is coming. Sorry, was distracted by Team Fortress. Still though, why don't you think I have an ability? I think just about everyone in this game has one lol

Sweet. A deadline. Maybe we can get some action going on from more than 5 people.

Anyway, from what I've read,

You honestly could have said that for someone like 135 as well, who claims to have used his ability. In addition, there are many other scenarios as likely or more likely than just those two.


BTW, I'm pretty sure OMGUS = Oh my god u serious? Maybe not, that's just what I think.
