Board 8 > Star Wars and Pokemon Mafia Topic 1 - The Phantom Menace

(+) Yeah! (+)

Chris, Corrik, Isquen, Ben all looking pretty standard to what I would expect from them thus far

btw what's the dealio with the video opening credits only saying "Star Wars Mafia". and the Light Side / Dark Side split is all star wars flavor too. Where are the Pokemon at? I feel like I've been bamboozled by our host into thinking there would be Pokemon.

I was wondering the same but wanted to wait and see who brought it up first. I don't think scum would mention it. Especially if they're the pokemon. Congratulations, you are town.

Maybe Mason Recruiter Bill the Pokemon Researcher turns other town players into fun Pokemon

That said, if someone here is town and a Pokemon then raise your hand now and I will lock you in as town confirmed

I'm a pig guard that's like a Pokemon

Like this post feels pretty fake to me as an example. I know what game I signed up for so despite being a star wars character and the video being star wars its like clearly no actual confusion. Doesn't feel right.

The force tells me Lea gets my last dark side point and Sbell and Scare get my light side points

I am but an orc though. Orcs are not force sensitive generally speaking. But I read the day in earnest and this is what came to me.

True story this is what got me too!

*grabs a seat next to you* Hey there. You seem to have first time scum on the mind.

Ben never scum if changmas is scum btw

Ben why do you think this. It seems very hello fellow kids. I take back my Ben clear but I still love him

I must say Chang struck my force sensors so fierce that he is the main reason for those last guesses

Lea seemed random on his town list-- probably only drawn if a scummate.

Sbell post 63'd Chang, don't see him doing that to a mate.

Actually scare is just the force. I can't say it's focusing on Chang.

Actually this too

What does it even mean

Especially with respect to Chris. Is this standard Chris? Why? Doesn't look like standard Chris. I don't even know what a standard Chris town game looks like these days but this ain't nothin like Psych Chris who just sorta hung around and was nonchalant.

And Isquen when's the last time he's played what's a standard Isquen game?

##vote: chang

Chang you don't make sense. Also you were on my force list so really this is a double whammy.

##Unvote
##Vote: Chang

Let's kill it.

Lopen I must say this is going swimmingly.

Isquen X Chang have strong allegiance mesh if you look at Chang's vibe list and reaction there. I think this is a 2-fer

When you get killed night 1 you'll at least have claimed 2 scum. Good training for the world championships.

Yes this is going quite well I think. If this pans out as I see it please continue my legacy

Well they do have my really strong gladiator ability to fear (4 hour window expired alas). There's always hope I'll die first.

Force Intuit?

I'm looking forward to playing again and I remember nothing about how anyone plays so this'll be fun. That being said, in terms of the very little actual read there is to do so far the only thing that tickled my gut was Kirby's overexplanation that Chris has influence today and may or may not in fact be one of town or scum

JC great to see you again after all these years. May I interest you in a changmas lynch for reasons said above

I am admittedly curious about what he meant

Well anyway I have had a stomach ache all night that is finally easing so I am going to go rest. See you guys like tuesday

If y'all try and kill Scare I will kill you harder. This is Town Scare. Nobody listened when I said this before I died last game, so I will repeat: this is Town Scare. Do Not Touch.

Light Side
SBell
MZero
Kirby
Red
Scare

Dark Side
Lopen
Ulti
JC
HB
Isquen

Kirby's solitary post which I remember also jumped out to me on initial read. It's very over-exaggerated in response to not very much, but that's in keeping with last game which gives me nice feelings. I assume that's just how he plays and given he was third party we might have to do a little poking, but I'm sure we can work something out.

JC, would you say your gut on Kirby is more along the lines of pinging that something is weird, or that something is scummy? I feel there's a distinct difference, and Kirby triggered the first a lot but avoided the second entirely in the single game I played with him.

i have failed the vibe check and must now perish

I don't think this comes in on post #10 from a fairly new player after being called Scum by Chris, whether on vibes or not.

Also, I noticed that Red had some thoughts against Death. I would like to hear those at the earliest opportunity, because I consider myself to be the Death Whisperer and have gotten no such negative feelings yet.

i don't like star wars but i do like pokemon. i want more of the flavor that I like. nothing too crazy.

oh look we're nitpicking minor word choices already, bravo! it's totally within Chris' wheelhouse from the two games I've played with him and the one he's hosted for him to want everyone to submit a list right off the bat. he likes to say how activity is pro-town and this promotes that. looks a-ok to me.

i've played exactly one game with isquen, elden ring mafia. where crescent called him scum instantly (she was wrong), and he spent the rest of the game tunneling onto her and voting her every day. He's already done that with you.

as for voting me on day 1 i have prepared a short infographic in Microsoft Paint for use and reuse every new game because I'm getting kinda tired of re-treading this same Day 1 nonsense every game. So to all who take issue with me I would recommend you view the flowchart, and then read through my past games if you're still not convinced. surely some of you who have played each of these games with me can vouch by now.

Just pinged something weird for the most part but I don't see why it can't necessarily be both? Hard to know when I don't know him at all (I have in my notes that he could just be enthusiastically analytical) but I appreciate the input

It definitely can be both, I shoulda been saying there can be a distinct difference. Enthusiastically analytical about covers my read of Kirby's character here but I mostly wanted to figure which angle you were coming from.

I'm also wondering what you think of the Chang/Lopen/Chris interaction of the last page or so? I'd like to hear about that from Death too when he pops up, since it's coming up to his time.

It is a thing that is currently happening.

okay I'm really sorry Death but you weren't fast enough so JC has taken your confirmed town slot for this game

Dont know what Red is going on about, but I am sure he will see that I am on the level eventually. He is usually good at that.

I am not used to Corrik making a joke post his first post. I expect it from Ulti, but not him.
Him going after Chris afterwards gives me a feeling of deja vu too, but I would have to reread Fire Emblem Mafia to make sure my mind is not playing tricks on me.
I will grant Corrik this though. He would attack Chris for what he did here. So the rest of his day so far feels more in character. But in a lazy way.

What also stood out to me is that Kirby claims Corrik gets mislynched a lot, and I dont know where he got that info from.

As for Changmas, I would say the thing that makes me worry about his question is that he might have been fishing for flavor claims in any way.

Also thats fine Sheep
The more townconfirmeds that arent me, the better for me

And since you asked

I am sorta seeing what Chris is seeing, but I feel less good about Lopen since one of his reasons for disliking Chang (Throwing Lea on the townlist) sounds useless to me. As if Lopen threw it on there just because he needed something more.. The rest of his questions sound logical, but that remark just looks like filler.

As for Changmas, he handled himself halfway decently in response to Chris and Lopen. But I dont know.. I think his answers still miss something. Plus his reasoning for calling Isquens play 'standard' wasnt properly explained IMO

The drawing is adorable at least.

Is Ult thinking Im town weird to anyone else? I actually thought it was pretty funny how similar my statements were to my previous scum game and was surprised when Ulti said I passed the vibe check.

Kirbys wall was oddly unperceptive. After living in fear of those walls last game where they were quite good, this latest one by him seemed really weak. Adding in that I made a joke stood out as something that was completely irrelevant and made me question why he felt the need to bring it up.

I was on board the chang lynch because I also thought changs post was scummy but changs diagram gives me pause. People who are constantly mislynched for sounding scummy shouldnt have sounding scummy as a reason in the future for lynching them. I had forgotten this had happened before

I mean it is true that Changmas often gets called scummy day1
Proof: I did it just last game.

But that he made the diagram speaks more to him in the past than him right now

Is Lopen town too, Ulti?

The power of post 63...

it gets'm everytime.

##Vote:Chris

Him wanting vibe checks off of names and such is weird.
Looks like a weird attempt look town.
Chris is really good but I really find this vibe thing to be obscure

Sultan, you've played plenty of game with Chris by now ya?

Do you think he needs to "look town" at the very start of the game?

Im also inclined to think Pokemon are dark side. Unless its split good characters vs.bad characters.

It looks fake and forced not natural type of play. Like what do we get out of vibe checks based on name alone?

Chang you don't make sense. Also you were on my force list so really this is a double whammy.

Voting for Chang for wanting more of the other flavor mentioned in the game??

What a shit vote.

chang has never been scum so I can't say I know what a scum chang looks like

but he seems like his town self to me
