Final Fantasy [Mafia] |OT| Living in a Materia World, and I am a Materia Girl

Honestly, at this point I feel pretty confused and I would bet that I'm not the only one.

The past couple pages have been dominated by Blargonaut's many cryptic remarks and the almost equally cryptic responses to them. Is it a code? Is it a joke? Is it just people saying stuff? I can't tell, but I don't want to discount it either.

I think it would be safe to discount them

The argument between Daryl and Sorian earlier also seems weird to me, mostly because it seemed like they were arguing very vehemently about very basic and subjective differences in play preference. But since it sounds like they've played together before, why did these differences only come up now?

I think it has been building up for ages now and sorian exploded. A small fart would have been sufficient.

Finally, I see I've appeared on several "has said nothing" lists and have a vote against me from popomatic for that reason. I did post earlier with some basic thoughts and explained that I was on a plane all day today (now arrived!) I don't want to get off on the wrong foot with this game-- please let me know if there's anything specific I can do to help discussion. I may not always respond ASAP, but I will respond.

No hard feelings there, i missed that you were on a plane. Blame my list for that, but dont be afraid to step on others foots, this is a mid season game, it will get heated very soon, be prepared.

I have a disturbing lack of reads from what I've read so far. It could be that I'm rusty, or maybe it's because the mafia are hiding on the margins on this one. I have a sort of busy day; I will check back periodically.

I wouldn't make anything of Sorian v Darryl. Could be a little song and dance, but Darryl has a way of pissing people off.

Thats his way of being. But well, usual day stuff.
 
However, I have a theory about Blargonaut. Some of us have pointed out he keeps saying phoenix down. I'm sure this has occurred to someone else, but maybe he has a role that makes him post that every page.

Is there an FF boss/enemy that keeps reviving himself throughout the fight?

BLARGONAUT USED PHOENIX DOWN

You know, blarg, it has usually no effect. Looking at your items and the fact that you can only carry 9 of them is worrying me a bit. You are wasting items that could be important later on, are you doing that on purpose ?

thinking about it again, you will have to die in order to use that item, otherwise it wont have any effect and since blarg is alive i doubt it will have any effect atm.

Could be just some usual Blarg BS, but I think it's something to think about. I'm not saying that it has an effect on the game; it could just be a posting requirement role. There may be more to it.

Tbh, I'm ok with figuring this out by lynching him.

I doubt there would be a role that forces you to post shit like that. sorry but that would be plain dumb.

wut

We've had these roles before. Sorians in NX, just off the top of my head. I think the GOP game had one too, but my memory is fuzzy.

Sorry, i did not read through NX, but i played in GOP and the only role that was talking strangely was myself, i was quoting Obama speeches. But i was vanilla Town

If Blarg is posting that as a requirement and not a breadcrumb then it is incredibly convenient that it landed on Blarg plus it paints a huge target on him saying "I'm a power role!" I don't think this is the case.

Breadcrumbing - that might be it, too. But for what purpose, I wonder.
 
As in, to have you guys maybe think along the same lines as me, do you think he's trying to attract the action of another role? Perhaps a role that could flip him to mafia?

I don't want to get into it because of the issue's problematic nature. Maybe if you invite me to a gossip chat? ; )

Cute, that won't be happening this time though, I'm confused if you are talking about something that you noticed that might have been against the rules or if you are just keeping some read close to your chest.

I have a disturbing lack of reads from what I've read so far. It could be that I'm rusty, or maybe it's because the mafia are hiding on the margins on this one. I have a sort of busy day; I will check back periodically.

Kind of a slow day phase, I have some reads but it's not helping that everyone and their mother "has something going on today so I'll be posting less"

He obviously doesn't need to post it on every page, he didn't even join us until 24 hours into the day phase. This is either a breadcrumb/puzzle or just a waste of our time, up to you which one you expect it to be.

Hmm, he could be signaling? This is too obvious though, if we flip anyone and we see that scum have a lost partner and it is revival or phoenix down related thats a strong give away.

best way to avoid everyone and just chime in before the day ends and eventually put in a vote. Dedication is not very high on this game

In a four way fight between you, Blarg, Darryl and Squidy who would win?

That's like pitting kittens against each other. Funny, and they'll go and have a hissy fit, but ultimately useless

This is the cutest and most apt description I have read.

As you can see, I've already succumbed to the madness.

Omg Star your avatar is adorable

No worries, thanks! I remembered that you were travelling. We do have at least another day, so thanks for your thoughts so far. You haven't voted yet, who is most suspicious to you right now? Remember, you don't have to be miserly with your votes, they are free to use.

Also, this applies to everyone, there is absolutely no problem with being a low post count player! Just make sure your few posts are delicious.

Blarg and Launchpad met again ^^ nothing unusal, and tbh nothing of substance that happened while we were asleep there swampie.
i loved you drawing there xam

Hahaha, sounds like they had a jolly reunion. Welcome back, Launchie!

Looks like Launch is keeping his vote on Blarg for now, although it seems like it could change. Just keeping an eye on those who vote for him, since Blarg is such an easy 'anti-town playstyle' target for mafia votes in the early phases of the game. Then again, I may be dismissing Blarg too early as a Warrior of Chaos candidate. The way I see it:

1. Blarg is Cosmos, and is playing his usual way (which btw I laughed aloud several times while catching up with the thread so thanks!). One of the advantages of his playstyle is that we can see who is lazy enough to vote for him. So far TAP and Launch are the only votes on him.

2. Blarg is Chaos, in which case heaven help us all. It will be impossible to figure this out in the early stages of the game because he is playing in his usual style. He has since toned down on the joke posts and has started pursuing low activity players, which is great.


Hahahaha Cabot is still jealous that he has never been a part of my Circle of Trust (TM)

How many players are gonna be on your alliance this time?
How many of those spots have you decided on?
Can I be in Swamped's alliance this time?

Oh, I guess Hyper is too XD

This was all nice and distracting from the actual game we were doing.

VOTE: Seath

Not a good thing.

Huh. At this point in the game Blarg was also being distracting, so why choose to vote for Seath instead? In fact Nin has been playing the same game as well.
 
Hmm, he could be signaling? This is too obvious though, if we flip anyone and we see that scum have a lost partner and it is revival or phoenix down related thats a strong give away.

I don't really know for certain what would be Blarg's approach in this. To my knowledge, we haven't really seen him behave when he has a role of this nature, so it's hard to say how he would act in that situation. I think that a person's approach could range from obvious to subtle, and really anywhere in between, because there's always going to be doubts that surface from any approach. I mean, if he's too obvious, then we think it's too obvious to be anything; if it's too subtle, we may not see it at all.

However, he just needs to signal enough so that the parties he's interested in signaling realize he's up to something.

For the record, I don't really know if it's just usual Blarg BS or not, but I'm keeping my eye on it.

I dont know , its still day 1 so everything i say will probably be thrown out the window but i amunsure about him. Not in a negative way, since i pretty much love him but i will hold back until we have less than 16 hours left. The fun will begin then.

Okay, caught up. Good to see some discussion, but we do need more. I'll go ahead and continue pressing the silent. Wakey wakey, StarSketch!

Vote: StarSketch

TL is also pursuing the quiet ones, I'll make a note of it. Think I may do something similar now, but the deadline is approaching and I need to start thinking seriously about who I want to eliminate.

So I will be waiting until the next day phase to put out a read list. There's a lot of chaos and I want to make sure that I have some time to really access the situation. My gut is that I trust Sorian and think that Blarg is indeed brradcrumbing something for later. Blarg gonna blarg, go figure.

Go ahead and post that reads list this day phase! I might do something similar before the deadline as well.

I've been thinking about the list, who generated, and the two people who were talking that got it going, but I'm going to table that line of thought until tomorrow (because I really don't want us to eliminate an active poster)

vote: Xamtheking

Where are the antics Xam? I figured a game with you, blarg, and all the high posters would make this game crazy!

Did the game get a little too crazy for you? Come back Zipped!

VOTE: Zippedpinhead

So Launch has posted some real reasons for why he's susp of Blarg, thinking that he could be signalling. Guess there's some weight behind his vote in that case, I take back what I previously said about it being a 'lazy' vote.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not entirely sure about my reasoning, I'm just throwing some thoughts out there. But really, however fun it may be, keeping Blarg around is going to cause more pain in the end.

He's using policy lynch garbage reasoning. I policy lynch policy lynchers. It's really the laziest way to lynch.

So far the players I've seen using policy lynch logic:

-Darryl
-LaunchpadMcQ
-Pop-O-Matic

Without a total government rehaul, I highly doubt money will ever be removed from american politics. Wolf-pac is coming from a good place but the actual backlash from basically anyone with a say makes it impractical.

Cher is a scrub.

It is 100% a cost saving measure. They have their hands in so many different jars that sometimes it's easier to just "outsource" if you will, technilogy that can be easily created by others.

Yes, Obama has always been one to try and connect with the people and be as hip as possible. It's not a bad thing, such a an easy thing to do that boosts his popularity with people that are already partial towards him.

A relic of the past that is convenient to sweep under the rug.

Rolling stones are pretty good, there are better bands out there like the beatles and led zepplin off the top of my head though.

I'm pretty useless with computer manufacturers so I'm skipping these two.

Yes, self driving car makers should be liable for anything that happens as if they were the driver in an accident where the self driving car was at fault, as long as it can be proven that there was no tampering from the passenger within the case.

Not really my expertise either, sorry

The meaning of life in most species is to continue the progeny. Humans are a tad different because we are already a diverse and far reaching species but for the more humble creatures in the world, that's about it.

Nah, humans will get a huge boost to survival rates once they figure out cancer. Cancer can do amazing things to DNA breakdown if it were actually controllable in any way.

Didn't know this guy's name, I know of him, guy is a douche. I hope the legal system is allowed to run its course and he is charged with anything that he should be charged for.

Bllodborne is a fantastic game, Witcher 3 is my game of the year so they weren't wrong their but bloodborne deserves high praise.

Good for the environment? No, humans are a strain on the world at large and the longer we live and the larger the population gets, the more strain that the environment takes on.

Their pretty fun, I didn't think I'd enjoy them as much as I would. I get some weird excitement from figuring out these puzzles.

I'm amazed you even got this far.
