See above post...it's hard to think much of those who haven't posted yet, given that the day started at a late time for most of us.

Sorry if my language is bad   had a problem with writing/speaking when I was young so it hinders me but, I try to follow through with it ......

Some people have time schedules that are hectic and leave posts like those so they could answer later
The only times I've seen where this is problematic is when many are just inactive .......

Ah crap didn't realize the day started today. Completely forgot, probably just memes but I'll read through anyway. Anyone else online rn Btw?

I've been online, but I haven't been "here" much since the game started.

You say you were setting a little trap by asking if there is an executioner.  Perhaps Vinnie fell for the trap, but I think he was just answering the question for the sake of being helpful.  Him answering your question doesn't make him look scummy to me.

I don't know anything about 42 besides what he's told us in this thread, so I don't know what to think about his reaction to your executioner question.  I didn't see anything wrong with your post, so to me it's a bit of a red flag that he prodded at you so much for it.  But on the other hand, it could be his experience talking.  If he's played as much as he claims he has, then he's going to pick up on slips that don't stand out as much to me.  I'll need to see more of how he reacts to people before I'll have a strong read on him.

I personally don't get a read on Dan or 42 from their exchange, even though there was a lot said there. The whole executioner thing was weird... I think !townVinnie is pretty much just as likely as !mafVinnie to answer the executioner question. But perhaps maybe Dan was on to something with the idea?? Kinda gives me a small town lean on him I guess, I actually have no idea about 42 though lol. Can't metagame him rip playstyle info... so yeah.

Says you're online but I'm gonna sleep at 3 if you don't say anything lol

Alright lol, gonna sleep now also then

Vinnie, why did you choose to answer the (easy) question of who was experienced or not instead of joining the discussion between 42 and Dan about how we should read Dan's question on the executioner? Didn't you think that that was a bit more important?

DansGame wrote on 01/07/17 at 22:07:02:


I actually agree with you on a lot of points here. However, the only thing about Vinnie knowing about the executioner is the fact that he didn't know that Yoshistar wasn't in the game.

Zac, please, you know fully well by now that mafia isn't about waiting for someone to ask you a question. Get your ass out there and start asking the questions.

Why exactly do you need others to be online? I thought the whole point of playing forum mafia is that the game can move along when nobody else is online. What if for example I had been online at this time, would you have been asking questions to me? Or waiting for me to ask you questions?

And I just wanted to comment on this. I'm glad that two new players are joining us for this game. Metagaming is a strong weapon when applied correctly, but all I've ever seen from metagaming on this forum is that people are way busier looking at previous games to see if there might be the smallest of changes in someone's gameplay, instead of paying close attention to what people are saying.

Are day ones usually like this? Quieter than expected.

Leone, Lenny, Lafungo, and Racer727 have yet to make any posts.

Dan is the person I had the most interaction with, clearly. I have a town lean on him, but he seems to be the type of guy who would be the alpha male of a mafia team. I am hesitant at this early stage to give him more than a town lean.

Upon reading vinnie’s posts, they do rub me the wrong way. None of his posts are taking a stance on anything, just mostly answering questions I have had about the metagame here. That’s fine and all, but it is an easy way to up your number of posts while at the same time his effective contribution has been zilch. Obviously the game is still early but if this guy has experience like you all say he does then I am going to be expecting more from him.

TvK has a lot of similar thoughts to me, when I first read the thread I had lots of similar problems. Problems such as Zac not wanting to be the conversation starter, Vinnie taking the high road answering questions that are easy to answer. Lean town on him. At least Zac seems to be putting forth an effort to solve the game. Vinnie up to now has not. Would like to hear more from TvK this game because my vibes tell me he has experience and knows what he is doing. Just the way he talks I can pick up on that.

J-Cop, I think you will figure out soon enough that I have experience, and have played the game before. If my posting style does not give away that I am not a rookie then maybe in due time you will. But this is not my first game. As for Dan’s post which I talked about quite a lot, I don’t often see posts like that from experienced towns. I didn’t think to post anything of the sort because I knew there was not an executioner.

I am happy I mentioned the post and talked to Dan about it though, I think it got the game moving a bit out of RVS.

I assume TYG is theyounggun, how experienced is he?

No opinion aorn on Web. Like Vinnie his effective participation has been close to nil.

also since I haven't yet stated my experience, I've played in maybe 6-7 games here, though some were years and years ago when I didn't quite grasp the concept. I'd probably give myself a 5 on the 1-10 scale of experience/skill.
