The Mafia Discussion Thread

[-A-]

I think we no longer need to be tied to the Cube with our very name. I propose that this officially become The Legitimate Businessman's Social Club.

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

MAFIA ORB

[The Mask of Norro]

Mafia Cylinder has a nice ring to it.

Whatever we change it to, it must be a three-dimensional shape, damn it!

[Ruki]

Mafia Pyramid!

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

Mafia Dodecahedron?

[Gongsun Zan]

The Legitimate Businessman's Zocchihedron

[DPS]

The Legitimate Hyberboloid's Buckminsterfullerene.

I did this too. It seems to get harder and harder to play that role, though. I dunno whether it's because your arguments become predictable, or because you increasingly just need to avoid suspicion. I got particularly bad at playing scum at one point because I was just desperately trying to avoid getting investigated, so I didn't play my usual townie game of leading discussion.

Yeah, I remember Bill (from the other board, really good town player) was asking me for advice on how to scum better. My advice was simple.

'Scumhunt.'

I find it interesting that Pizza seems to nearly always believe me, when most of the other players in a game want me dead.

I wont talk about the most recent example(game ongoing) but back in draft picks mafia, I was the town roleblocker and had stopped a kill but then got lynched under suspicion of being the scum roleblocker.

Pizza was the only townie that believed me.

I suppose it depends on the scenario, but I could see a lot of suspicion on someone who claims roleblocker. It depends on the amount of suspicion they have, and if they can put forth a breadtrail of roleblocks.

It's a hard role to claim as a defense unless you have some powerful variant that protects the target from all abilities as it prevents them from using any abilities... but me and Rider don't talk about that game.

I have no problem with the new guys.

Other than the fact that, as has been pointed out and acknowledged by THE MAN HIMSELF, DPS is really fond of the Norro school of tl;dr.

[DMN in the House]

Same. Although I eagerly await the dick-waving wankfest that is going to happen when he matches up with naiwf. It's going to cause suicides.

I too have a large penis.

[Momo]

Any games starting soon? It's been a while, and I feel like some mafia.

[Pesci]

With the recent upturn in the phrase, this place should obviously be called The Legitimate Businessman's Dick-waving Club. I don't think we need a 3D shape. Especially since the only good two are taken already. Plus this isn't really similar to the other two in any way so I don't see why we need to follow the same theme.

[Momo]

I don't think we need a 3D shape.

But 3D is in right now. We have the chance to be POPULAR!

[SeanDMan]

We could always call it the Legitimate Businessmen's Dick. A cock is a 3D shape, right?

[-A-]

Most dicks are 3D, Pesci. I think that counts.

EDIT: Damn you, Sean.

Bah. Pyramids are superior to cubes or domes anyway, everybody knows the only good domes are Thunderdomes.

[Marcos]

The Dome!

The Cube!

The Sphere!

Has a nice ring to it.

[oldskool]

Clearly we must become The Mafia Plane: just like our day starting games, we are everywhere and nowhere.
