You would have probably been the second person to go, but inexplicably, Sirensa got voted off second. Interestingly, afterward, we decided to keep you alive for a bit so other people wouldn't get the 3 point bonus. Then after a while, and due to some infighting, I think you kind of dropped off the radar. Also, it was apparent that someone was keeping you under control, so as long as you were voting the way we wanted, we kept you alive.

Look for a deeper meaning...
Lohrno, I think King Diamond - The Puppet Masters would be equally appropriate as well

Nothing inexplicable about it. You guys are mean petty haters! That is all

I was simply honoring the alliance I'd agreed to. At that time, it was led by Fash. He identified a target, I followed orders.
I honored every alliance I was part of in this game.

Yeah again, that was my fault, sorry.

You stopped listening to me so I told Fash I wanted you dead.
Oh yeah and I made Morgrym and Kindo attack eachother, that was pretty cool.
I'm showing my hand because I'm not going to play this again...

The best part is if you four split the 500vv, I am the true winner, considering I took 580vv in from bribes.

by Lohrno
Well, I was actually playing the game. i could have taken bribes from everyone for each day and come out with more VVs. But I didn't because that's not what I consider winning the game.
But if it makes losing less hard on you, ok.

I'm just out to destroy any bit of fun there is for others in all games. Excluding Mafia and Survivor. This game sucked

Basically, I think most of the game suck. If other people have fun with them, that's great, but until there's a skillbased game, they're just silly imo.
Unless survivor has like a daily immunity challenge where people have to complete a task (i.e. tell a joke, do something in MS-paint, tell a story, etc.) that's voted on by lets call it 'the audience' or a 'panel of impartial judges', the games are stupid.
Edit: I should add: no offense to any former or current game runners meant.

I would argue that Mafia when played right takes skill. Analyzing people's posts for clues..

Sure, but no one does that.
Hell, I posted I was working late or something, which was true, etc. But there's really no incentive for the citizens who know they're not mafia to NOT vote for me as guilty, and really, I can just type whatever I want, it doesn't even have to do anything with the game.
I like the idea, the implementation just didn't work for me. I'm not trying to piss on anyone's popcorn. I'm glad other people are enjoying it, but since the subject came up, I'm voicing my opinion.

Right. But it should convince other people you're not guilty.

No I know, and you have a very valid point and an interesting metaphor. (I'm not going to get any "buttered" popcorn from you)

I'm probably gonna run that other game in a little while (or help Fash with his version if he starts it) and in the meantime I am going to try to figure something Mafiaesque that forces all those elements out of it. I will likely run a game using Avestan's rules next at some point too. For now though Mafia is shelved for at least another month.
PS: To you and everyone else. I try to learn from criticism. If something sucks I want to know. But by the same token I like "this sucks because.." more.

PS: Noel also you aren't the first to express that.

There were like 4 others...
I think Avestan's rules might make it either better or more like a mini Survivor game. =P I'm willing to give it a try next time which will be later.

None taken at all. I want to reinforce this point, I want to hear this kind of thing so we can make more fun games.
