I keep checking but no one is either around or posting ... which is slack considering the pace early on- I had hoped my other aussies would have surfaced today.
I'm still waiting to know more about the hidden profile or whatever (I see someone is online now with it) .. what was said? it would appear to be a mafia benefit at night time but otherwise I don't get it.
In the graveyard thing from the last game, laserblue (i think) raised some issues about how people were working out what people were just by sitting on the "who's online" thing, and seeing if they were sending messages or not, and ruling people out because they hadn't seen them online. So it was suggested that people change it (there's a box to tick somewhere in your profile settings), and i think a fair few people did it at the time, and then maybe a few more when mikeblue started speaking about it earlier in the game. There's only really a point to it if everyone does it though, because now i'm finding the people who changed at the start of this game suspicious - seems like they have something to hide. And that's kind of the same thing as what we were trying to get rid of.
As for the actual game, soz for not posting the last couple of days. Had my graduation so i was a bit busy. Well, drunk anyway.
From just reading through now, it's really hard to judge. The same people always seem to accuse each other in these games, which doesn't help. I don't know how to judge a conflict between TP and MIASG because it all seems to be based on knowing what each other are like, rather than points that everyone else can see and use to form their own opinion.
I think largely stevenryals' points about bluestars seem to be taken less at straight value, due to the fact that every game he is 100% convinced that one of bluestars or mophead are evil on day one. This time though, her gameplay has changed drastically, and i can't help feeling that she probably is mafia. She's doing nothing to help the town, and everything she has done, has been kind of forced - producing a list when she'd claimed to not have time for it, claiming to be trying to spark conflict, when as soon as wes argued back, she unvoted; this makes me think she has something to hide. Her defense for not being evil was that we should be focusing on the non-posters - which is desperation. It's the easy option for her to get to the night phase. Strong sense that she's dodgy. Nothing about her seems right this time.
But, mophead has actually claimed to be mafia. He has said nothing since, and well, it just looks like he realised he made a mistake and hoped no one would remember it. I don't fully accept amadjin's claim that he was joking, but i'm not 100% that he wasn't.. whereas i think mophead just saw an opportunity to actually tell people he's mafia, and get away with it. So, with that in mind..
unvote amadjin
vote mophead
