Thread: Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones Mafia - ENDGAME [7/28] DB AND JOLTIK WIN!

Haha, that's definitely a good role to take down on the first day! :D

Gym Leader Byron, Zenax, Hitomi

I started the bandwagon on America* so that should be enough to clear me. Zenax and Hitomi followed with explanations for their votes and tied it. So that should narrow down the list.

It's a little ironic that I called the silencer loud.

Some doctor protection would be sweet.

Should we claim to you?

It's too early for that. XD

No, don't claim, it's too early to do so. I know that Zenax doesn't bus his team mates( or that's what he tells us) but there could still be a converter, or something else, I say that we wait some before claiming.

Claiming would be risky so early in the game. Of course, I'd be open to it later when someone gets actually cleared.

Cool.

Confirmed

I'm a little late to the party, but I'm here. So, from the posts on this page, I take it we got a mafia?

HilbertCressLover. I'm looking at you. I'm assuming the vote was random for now though.

I have a feeling Zenax would have been silenced promptly had we not gotten the silencer. :b

I too am opposed to claiming this early (though I feel I have shown that I am very much town in my posts) because even though Zenax is not an asshole who would bus his team, which gives him a lot of credence as being pro-town, there are so many variables that would make claiming to one person risky.

Plus massclaims make mafia boring and too easy for the town.

Let's not mass claim for a few reasons.

Mass claims put a single player under the spotlight, which is bad. Mafia games are meant to be played as a team, not as a constant follow the leader bandwagon. Traditionally everyone would analyze everyone's posts, make links with the others' posts and go from there, not just rely on everyone to know what to do. That ruins the spirit of the game, even if it does make things easier for the town and much harder for the mafia since they have to think of a fake claim every games. It's not really fair, in my opinion. Ideally, the town should have as much chance as the mafia to win; mass claims ruin this and force hosts to add roles such as strongman or convertor in their game to make sure that an early mass claim won't occur. It doesn't leave much place for originality and every games end up looking like each other.

There's also the thing that if everyone claims to a single person and that player dies without having passed the claims to anyone else or worse, gets converted, the town falls in a situation where they can't do about nothing. It's day 1 all over again, and it's already tiresome and hectic as it is. People don't want to do it more than once by game. If this happens before a couple of mafia died, then the game is set up for an easy mafia victory. This is not fun, both for the host and the players.

So let's think a little more individually instead of always following the leader, as I know I'm not the only one who thinks that this makes mafia games much, much more fun.

Here's the last vote tally, if this'll help with anything. I was just thinking maybe we could study the tally. Could be just me trying to find something.

Wow, a mafia on day 1.

That's the first time it has happened in a game I'm playing.
