Robominer Posted August 10, 2012 Probably because the ones that talk a lot are dead. The Town sees some talkative people as trying to cover up their scumminess and lynch them, and the Scum see talkative people as leaders of the town and kill them in the night. The result is a very quiet day thread by the end of a mafia game. I guess that makes sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palathadric Posted August 10, 2012 You guys are even more boring than Day Seven. *cracks whip* Entertain your dead! Not only are you a purist, but you're also a cruel task master! What is this "something" that happened. Did I come back to life? ...Please? Oh, right, I still have a comment to post in the day thread...think, think, think.

Robominer Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Something else happens, probably What?? There is uncertainty that something happened??!! I am glad that we have gotten a clear, definitive answer that is not vague. Edited August 11, 2012 by Robominer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CorneliusMurdock Posted August 11, 2012 What?? There is uncertainty that something happened??!! I am glad that we have gotten a clear, definitive answer that is not vague. Calm down there. No need to get antsy. It's Schrodinger's Mafia. We won't know if something has actually happened until we open the box. I'd like to say that it's not just the talkative players getting killed off that makes for quieter days near the end. By this point in the game most players have an intense game going on behind the scenes. You play your cards close to your chest as a townie block when you don't want the scum to know how close you are to discovering them. When a later day thread isn't quiet, the town is normally not in a good place. They're flailing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Palathadric Posted August 11, 2012 If the game lasts until Day 10 we dead are going to demand that Bob mod-kills everyone on board Excalibur...and replace them with us, of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dragonator Posted August 13, 2012 Just a general note that commenting and speculating on the mechanics of the game is not allowed outside of the game thread as it could influence the decisions made by those playing. Please refrain from doing so until the game is finished. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
