The MSG Secure Hospital for the Criminally Insane (MSGSHCI) "We don't call them inmates, we call them patients." Night was falling on the hospital. "Alright, into your room, come on..." a Nurse chivvied one of the patients into his cell, who had his head down. He slowly obeyed, but the guard in the corner of the room watched carefully. The Nurse began to shut the door, when suddenly a scream came up from a nearby cell. The guard turned. The nurse shut the door quickly, and turned to leave. The patient's eyes, previously dull and submissive, became alert. He looked up quickly, and reached through the small window in his cell door and quickly plucked a key from the Nurse's back pocket. He withdrew his arm quickly before she turned around to check the cell had locked itself. A quick tug at the door, and she was satisfied enough, hurrying off to deal with the other patients. The sound of footsteps slowly echoed through the corridors of the institution, made by the few people who were left on patrol. The inhabitants of this miserable place were now mostly quiet in their cells. Those who refused to be quiet had been sedated, and a slow calm was descending upon the place. Water dripped slowly from a leaky water pipe above one of the corridors. It was in this corridor where that one patient stood up from his bunk, and quietly unlocked the door. Something was about to happen.

ROLE PMS ARE BEING SENT OUT NOW. PLEASE CONFIRM BY REPLYING TO THE PM.

Sure thing! If anyone lurks or drops out of the game, I'll send you off their role and you can jump straight in. Thanks.

Re: Your Brains - Jonathan Coulton

8/10 I've seen you around a lot before. You're pretty kwl.

Contrary to the PM I sent junk (Sorry about that!), roles will be sent out as soon as Streets of Karma reaches the next Day stage - could be a day or two. Signups are still open for replacement slots.

Nemo - Nightwish

Question! - System of a Down

Just ending... - U-Fig - System of a Down Now... (No More) Paddy's Lament - Flogging Molly

Don't Say a Word - Sonata Arctica Again.

Aquinas - You may or may not be playing depending on how the game balances out. I think you'll be in. I've not yet finished writing the Role PMs - and the game probably won't start for a few days. Watch your PMs and watch this thread - I'll keep you posted.

They Say - Scars on Broadway

Junk - have a read of the mafia guides at the top of this forum - any problems, PM me. If you want to talk about it, feel free to add one of my IM things or I'll have a chat on IRC. I'll add you to the list - if you don't want to play, just post here before the game starts.

I'll put you down. If you want to /out, just let me know before I calculate the roles (Just before the game starts)

To both of you new guys - good to have you playing! Take a look at my guides to mafia, which are pinned at the top of this forum. If you have any questions about how the game's played, just PM me.

There's a game I want to run, but I'm not sure if we'll have enough players. So, here's how it works. If we get 11+ players, we'll run a theme game I've been planning to run for some time now, called MoleStarGazer's Secure Hospital for the Criminally Insane. I was planning to run it on MafiaScum, but since I need to have modded a game there to run a theme game, and the mod lists for Open/Mini Normal games are amazingly long, I'll give it a trial run here first to see how it balances out. If we get 9-10 players... who the hell knows. I might mod the above to make it nicer for this player base. If we get 7-8 players, I'll run a Bird7P or similar. If we get 5 players, I'll run a Vengeful Mafia game.. So, gogogogo! PLAYERS: 1. Theophilos 2. sojourner 3. Nerau 4. Sir Jesus (Min) 5. Calderone 6. Narsis 7. Electric Mango 8. Martino 9. junkahoolik 10. Falzis 11. Kaziocore (Max) 12. KevinH (If you're lucky) 13. Aquinas REPLACEMENTS: StrayJ

We can always start signups, and if it all fails, either start it again on the new forums or see if we can transfer. I'll start some signups now.

It's not probable that I'm a townie, but I am. Mafia isn't all about probability. It's about reasoning. As you should know.

It is possible that someone not on the Falzis wagon is a druggie - you can't always presume. I simply narrowed it down to the 3 to have the best chances of successfully hitting a druggie, since it's almost certain that at least 1 was on the wagon - and I've concluded that it's C8T.

I did what I did in an attempt to prove that I was pro-town. I did impartial readthroughs, and you have my verdict. Everything I have said is backed up with quotes and my reasonings go along with it. I understand you may be incredulous - this is all revolving around my vote of Falzis - but that had reasonings to. I played D1 looking for someone of an anti-town faction - and I found one. There might be nothing I can do to convince you - but please, don't lose this game for the town by lynching me.

Canucks - Can you confirm that you have read all of the cases? I'd like to see at least a few comments as to why I might be wrong before you jump on the wagon against me. You said yourself, when I first thought of this idea: I'd like to see what you think about how it's turned out, and why you still don't believe my claim to be a townie. Jumping on like this just makes you look suspicious.

True. But I'm still stuck in phpBB2 mode, where each post has a number, and a little button next to each post so you can link to it. It's far easier than having to use the forum's way of quoting just to get a link.

I didn't give you the +1 for the OMGUS. I let you off that. I knew you'd never played before, and that was a perfectly OK reaction to it. The +1 was for the lurking. 1) Not an excuse. Post actively, ask questions, try and help out. 2) Unless those 3 pages all took place in the space of a day, this isn't an excuse. I think it very unlikely that someone would have thought that we were both scum when we were clearly going for each other's guts. Also, had we wanted to lynch a townie, we would've both been MAFIA - since druggies would want to kill mafia. I'm not really sure what this makes you. If anything, it's a nulltell. I'm sure you weren't the only one. However, Curu wasn't the focus of my readthroughs, the reasons for which I've explained to you in my more recent, shorter posts. And pointing others out doesn't excuse you. 1) At the time, did you think I was Mafia, Druggie, or that I could be either? 2) That's fair enough. I would define a "solid" case in mafia as one that has a couple of quotes with reasonings as to why their logic is faulty and/or why that makes them scum. Understood. 1) This seems to contradict your previous point saying that you thought my vote was serious. Surely you can't be both serious and flippant about it? 2) I did not, I never vote without reasons. That's my #1 pet hate in mafia. I gave the WIFOM and breadcrumb reasongs at the time. 1) So do I, actually, that's one thing that's getting on my nerves about this forum. You can't get a link to them either. 2) Whilst it may have been useful setup-wise, I personally class 'insighftul' as posts such as ours right now, pointing out who we think is scum and why. I thought it was Canucks who said 'KevinH or Narsis as some type of scum'. At least, that's the vibe I got from the quote you stuck in above this post. If it was you... I use "scum" as "mafia". Just how I take it. The logic was weak, but it was there. I certainly understand why you think it's Ad Hom - I'm just giving you my reasonings for saying why I don't think it is. We evidently differ in opinion. Whilst I hate to nit-pick, no. WIFOM is about what the mafia would do - the name WIFOM comes from 'Wine in Front of Me', from a movie where someone has to guess whether someone would poison their own glass or their enemies' with no prior reasonings behind this guess other than personality. Mafia revolves around looking at what people have said, why they might have said it, etc. Just as you can always reply "I'm a townie." Fair enough, however. Oh, please. Pseudo-logic? The logic is there, right in front of you. I'm giving you my thoughts. It was COMPLETELY impartial. I made the posts in the order in which they voted for Falzis. KevinH first. Then Narsis. Then You. My leaving you 'til last had NOTHING to do with whether I thought you were scum. You'll also see this if you read the first bit of my post before I started with KevinH. This should've been obvious to anyone who read it. And I'm not knocking you for that train of thought. I'm sure there's nothing I can say to convince you otherwise. But that was pure luck. These responses, whilst some good points are made, have done little to persuade me of C8T's innocence right now. Feel free to continue to respond - I'll reply the best I can. But please, don't let the more emotional post judge your vote. Look at the logic, and look at the facts.

1) I will be tomorrow - but right now, it isn't my major concern. See below. 2) I picked them because they were the 3 remaining people who voted for Falzis. I DIDN'T pick them on the basis of prior suspicion. Which I said when I posted, just before I started KevinH's. More to come later on everything else you posted.
