Re: WWE/WCW wars GAME THREAD!
One thing stands out to me in the first day's voting:
Zarovich's third vote on shafnutz and Malkamaniac's fourth vote on the same bandwagon.
Third and fourth votes on early bandwagons are perfect for baddies, I think. They know the person is not bad and can claim the vote was just a bandwagon one and give no reasons which might get them in trouble. They know they'll not draw attention to themselves by leading the charge and they won't be accused of late-jumping or piling on.
I think therefore that one of Zarovich or Malkamaniac is probably bad. Probably not both, since that would appear to be piling on. Which one to go for? Since Malkamaniac has posted only once (to vote fourth in the bandwagon), I'll go with
pin Malkamaniac

NAN and jays have not posted at all. canaan, only once.
It always seems to be the same group of us that are actively playing. Those guys give good input when they're into the game. I want to hear from them.

Re: WWE/WCW wars GAME THREAD!
i didnt work today (power outage sent us home at 9-ish...hopefully there is work tomorrow) and have been playing dragon age (and now watching the game). I know jays has been sans computer for the better part of a week.dagny wrote:Maybe, maybe not, but I didn't expect anyone on this board to infer that I would mean, where are they at this very second?relantel wrote:Uh, the Pens game?dagny wrote:Where are the rest of the people that are supposed to be playing?

I don't know what information i can possible give at this moment--it seems like the village is doing pretty good so far.

like i said, hopefully i get to go to work tomorrow so i can focus on the important things in life--like this game.
if you all want to axe me, by all means, but I am no baddy.

Re: WWE/WCW wars GAME THREAD!
So it goes. Granted, it's a Day 2 theory, but I don't think I'm not reaching too far here.
Read the middle of page three when the shafnutz bandwagon got going. The jumps from Zarovich and Malkamaniac onto said bandwagon look for all the world like jumps from baddies (or at least one baddie). You can choose to mock me. You can choose to disagree. Or you can choose to think about wider strategy.
I was a baddie last game. We destroyed you goodies. I know the strategy. I could be wrong, but I guess we'll see.

This is what I enjoy. The only thing you've done here could go for the same as everyone couldn't it on day one?
Oh so and so voted 1 and 2. They must be bad.
Person 7 and 8 did it back to back they must be bad lol.
So first day went from bandwagon, to random.org, to not allowed to do anything to strategy? You've got to be joking.

Double-negative typo. Should of course read:redwill wrote:So it goes. Granted, it's a Day 2 theory, but I don't think I'm not reaching too far here.

That's actually true, isn't it? I forgot about the two groups.MWB wrote:How would they know the person is not bad? There's two bad groups.
So it means that they know the person is not a baddie in their group.
It also means that Zaro and Malka could both be baddies, but from different groups...

Re: WWE/WCW wars GAME THREAD!
I agree. I would say any vote between 3 and 9 could be considered a "trying to fit in" vote. Vote 1... starting a bandwagon. Vote 2, jumping on quickly. Last votes, jumping on the finish off. Right now I think it's very hard to say anything about vote patterns.Malkamaniac wrote:

Re: WWE/WCW wars GAME THREAD!
I didn't say anything like this. I said third and fourth votes on a bandwagon are great cover for baddies. I know you won't agree, but it's a good theory.Malkamaniac wrote:This is what I enjoy. The only thing you've done here could go for the same as everyone couldn't it on day one?

I'm not joking. If I were joking, I'd say "What do you do with an elephant with three balls? ... Walk him and pitch to the rhino."Malkamaniac wrote:You've got to be joking.

The theory redwill is posting is direct from the mafiawiki site. I'm not saying it is or isnt accurate this game, but that's where its from.

I've really got to read this site.

Re: WWE/WCW wars GAME THREAD!
What I'm more amazed at this point is it's technically day two and you basically can't do anything in these games any more. The last time I was voted off, was because I spoke up and voted first. Now, my name comes into question because I voted in the middle? I think from now on, I'm just gonna fly by like the people who don't say crap until day 6-7. It seems to work for them.
