Welcome to uPick Mafia, a Basic for 12 players, hosted by Prophylaxis and reviewed by pinkys_brain and ganderin_dan.
Rules (inspired by Xylthixlm, stolen from Ged!)
[1] I will enforce the rules strictly, because I'm evil like that.
[2] Your vote must be in bold. You don't need to unvote before voting.
[3] If my vote count doesn't seem to reflect your vote, just revote.
[4] Lynching requires a simple majority. You may vote no lynch, which also requires a simple majority. You may post during twilight.
[5] Once your death scene has been posted, you're dead. Dead people don't make forum posts. If you make a post after you are dead, I will hunt you down. For the record, I actually have a text file on my computer of all the people who've broken this rule in the past. I may or may not have plans for it.
[6] Post at least once every 72 hours. If you don't, I'll hunt you down. And prod you. After that you’ll be given at most another 48 hours or so before you are either replaced or modkilled. If you're going to be without computer access for more than 48 hours, let me know ahead of time either in the thread or by PM. Remember, people: if we work together we can have a replacement free game, but that can only happen with your help.
[7] No funny stuff like invisible text, tiny text, cryptography, or acronym claims.
[8] Don't edit posts.
[9] Don't quote PMs or QuickTopics.
[10] You may not talk outside of the thread to anyone about anything that goes on in this game. Period. Whether you're dead, or they're dead, whether they're in the game or not. The only exception is if your role specifically allows it.
[11] Have fun and be nice to the other players and me, even if we don't deserve it.
[12] To steal a modding quirk from another site, I will send out note QTs to every player that hold each player's role PM. You may use this QT for notes, as a notepad document, reminders, et al. Keep in mind that I will link everyone's QT in the spectator chat and when the game ends.
I reserve the right to modkill any player who breaks any rule [6] or higher. This applies especially to [10], but also note it’s application to [6]. I do not like making people replace into my games. I do not like spending time looking for replacements. I do not like slowing down the game while we go through this whole song and dance of looking for a replacement. Modkills circumvent all these things.
If you EVER have questions about the game, PM me. I love having more ways to procrastinate, and caring to your every whim is one of my favorites. If you are confused, curious, or unsure about anything ever, let me know before doing anything stupid.

Welcome, players, to MTGS Mafia Redux 2 Basic #85, uPick Mafia. Refreshments weapons are available in the lobby, and please, keep our theater clean by disposing of bombs in specified containers. And remember, gift certificates explosive devices are available for any special occasion.
Enjoy the show, and sit back, relax, and confirm by QuickTopic.
I deliberated making a long, grand opening to a movie in the pregame flavor, but it's getting late and I simply don't have the time nor the creative inspiration to do so right now - maybe later. So, I'll let this explain itself:
ganderin_dan, Morpheus, Town Plot Device, has been killed in the pregame.
Welcome to uPick Mafia, ganderin_dan! You are Morpheus (from The Matrix), a Town Plot Device. You were part of the Matrix movie before (as the captain of the Nebuchadnezzar) but lately you've stumbled upon MTGS and gathered a group of 12 people to kill each other, which was surprisingly enjoyable to watch. You've gathered a group of 12 more people in hopes of revitalizing the carnage again, but a certain someone has dashed any real hopes of that.
The deadline system used for this game will be (number of players) * (1.5 days). This means that you will have 18 days to lynch, and the Day will end in a no lynch on March 12, 2014 if you do not lynch before then. I will consider a extension if this doesn't work out.
In addition, there are up to three public deadline extensions available. These extensions may be requested by the players at any time in the thread, and may be granted at my sole discretion. Don't be mad if I say no.
The options are as follows:
A: 24 hours per player OR 7 days, whichever is shorter.
B: 72 hours
C: 24 hours
- Once a particular extension is used, it cannot be used again that same game.
- Any number of extensions can be used in the same game Day.
- If the players do not specify which extension they wish to use (or if there is no consensus on which one to use), I will pick the remaining option highest up on the list.
- Extensions are appended to the deadline time. There's no need to strategically time when the request is made.
- At least two players must request an extension for it to be considered.
I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.
Man that's so insightful. You certainly couldn't post any opinion on the past 10 or so post or else then it wouldn't look like you're lurking in plain sight.
it helps me determine alignments, now a better question is why did you have to answer for him?
hey ika, what's Dagaen's alignment?
null at best right now. I'm trying to to figure out who is town and who is not atm. All i have right now is that he has not posted here. I will figure it later when he comes on.
Is this post in the right thread or am i missing something?
you're probably missing something -- but what?
can you elaborate on the bolded part im confused what you mean.
I'm wondering why you care about an unvote. You obviously care about my unvote or my vote on dagon. So i am merely asking why. Until you answer it I will most likely be ignoring you for refusing to answer my question.
Guys, you have to know something about Ika. He always plays scum. If he can't be scum, he ragequits. Since he isn't gone with Morpheus that means he isn't Townie.
I'm not going to vote him though, because he's my buddy.
No I would rage-quit if i was doc. But your right im a survivor. But not scum.
null at best right now. I'm trying to to figure out who is town and who is not atm. All i have right now is that he has not posted here. I will figure it later when he comes on.
null "at best"
what. there are so many correct responses to that question and you failed to give any of them
FOS ika42
I like where we're going with sneaky and this guy's no. 2

So my response isn't satisfactory? What were you expecting? Me to have a huge ass-wall of why hes something? No I dont do that yet. Wehn i have sufficient information then I will.

"There was no reason for me to stay in the real world any longer. In the real world, it didn't matter if I was there or not. When I realized that, I was no longer afraid of losing my body."
**** it, I'll stop using Seppel posts, as he's played with so few people here.
I'm also going to start signing my posts.
Anyway, let's get down to business (to defeat the Huns).
First of all, I voted sneaky, and my vote was absolutely serious. His RVS mindset is entirely feigned. I don't believe for a second that he's town - he's trying too hard to blend in and it comes across as completely unnatural.
Moving on, Dagaen, why were you convinced that RVS was still going on at that point when I made it readily apparent (even through my PR) that I was being serious about my vote on sneaky?
-
FTR, I don't believe B_E's claim.
-
Incidentally, I'm starting to believe Dagaen RE: his alignment and ika's.
-
Antny, why did you not believe my vote to be serious at the time that my other head FoSed ika?
-
Holding judgment on Generic for the time being, but leaning town.
-
hawk, u srs bro? RE: B_E
So, people I am content with lynching:
sneaky
Dagaen
ika
I'll let you guys know what alignment Void is once he's made his first post.
So my response isn't satisfactory? What were you expecting? Me to have a huge ass-wall of why hes something? No I dont do that yet. Wehn i have sufficient information then I will.
@Iso: I honestly don't understand this whole feigned RVS argument. I see it a lot and I assume this is mainly a way to reaction gauge off of people. If there is something I am missing on this though, I am more than willing to listen.
As for the whole unvote thing, it is unusual to see a naked unvote in RVS. (At least what appears to still be RVS, some people were out of RVS mode by then.) B_E's reaction to the unvote also seems logical given the unvote was naked. Where there should be concern is from ika's reaction to BE. He comes off attacking BE for his sensible question on the unvote. He then seems to take offense when TIM comes to defend BE by asking the only logical question to be asked.
My point wasn't that the censor is on or off, Iso or TMCT sent me a warning message for self censoring words.
Yet apparently it's ok for every other person in mtgs including whoever sent me that warning to swear away. Hypocritical.
Swearing is acceptable (except where flaming/trolling is concerned) as long as it falls 100% under the profanity filter, or you "asteriskize" every letter yourself. Partially asteriskizing a swear is censor evasion and therefore unacceptable.
If you want to talk about this further, feel free to drop Iso or I a PM or post in one of our desks.

I'll let Iso speak for the RVS thing since I don't fully get it.
What bothers me is the apologetic and overexplanatory tone of #28.

Who do you see it from a lot? I'm usually pretty spot-on with that stuff.
Quote from Tanarin »
As for the whole unvote thing, it is unusual to see a naked unvote in RVS.
Oh? So, by "unusual", do you mean "it normally doesn't happen"? Or do you mean "townies don't normally do this"? If the former, why is that worthy of your scrutiny? If the latter, can you show us other times where you've seen this to be true?

unvote, vote ika42
It is possible it's Ika, but unlikely.
I think it's tanarin. I mean look at his posts. How could 1344 have any town motivationn at all.
Vote Tanarin
Unvote, Vote irebel for forgetting the underscore.
Why?
Zinger needs to live. NLP be damned. He has to kill a scum to win. Unless Majora is somehow a townie. And if so WHOEVER IS MAJORA NEEDS TO CLAIM NOW.
Flashback to fun with Voxx.
In other news, iRebel is scum. Delicious false dichotomy.
I'm pretty sure this is a town Generic.
Also we have a town Iso.
Take: Romani Mask
Popcorn to Iso.
20 scum reads.
And they're all you.
Unvote, Vote sneaky
Why do you care?
Is this post in the right thread or am i missing something?
why do you care enough to ask this
hey ika, what's Dagaen's alignment?
you're probably missing something -- but what?
hey saturday night live, RVS is over

Exactly. Unvote Vote Ika (serious vote)
Uses RVS to vote for tanarin while clearing void when void hasn't posted. Joking demeanor and embracing RVS.
Questions another player on their RVS post. Serious demeanor
What made you go from joking to not letting other people joke so quickly?
Outdated Mafia Stats

I never said that but give me enough time and I might be able to figure it.

But yeah, this role in a basic seems... strange. Never seen it before I don't think.
Didn't see this post.
Ika's unvote seemed serious, there was no joke in it. I asked why the unvote, whiched looked serious?
@SNL - Your ending RVS, good to know, so what are you planning to do next?
@77Hawk7 - I don't get it, what's wrong with a player being jokey in rvs and then getting serious over an unvote?
@TIMsCoT - Why the FoS and no vote on ika42? Is your vote on sneaky serious now?
I don't like Dagaen's first few posts. This comment on ika42 doesn't make sense to me:
And neither does this:

And hi, this is TMCT; let me start signing my posts too. All the Seppel quotes are from Iso and all the lowercase posts are from me.
You missed the point...entirely.
What does null "at best" mean?
Do you have "Show Censored Content" checked in Preferences? Swearing that's caught by the profanity filter is still fine.
~TMCT
Well no, because we didn't evade the censor. You just have your censor turned off in your user settings.
Yes, a hydra is 2+ players on the same account.
As for what I mean by it being entirely feigned, exactly what it says on the tin.
~Iso
Quick question can you guys communicate outside the thread like Masons or do you just see what the other has typed and follow on and such?
As for the whole unvote thing, it is unusual to see a naked unvote in RVS. (At least what appears to still be RVS, some people were out of RVS mode by then.) B_E's reaction to the unvote also seems logical given the unvote was naked. Where there should be concern is from ika's reaction to BE.

Why did it take you so long to make a decision regarding this?
You can address us as TIMsCoT as a whole, or individual heads if you have questions for specifically TMCT or myself - don't really care.
And yes, as TMCT said, we can use our QT to talk to each other.
