The Dark (Mafia) - Game Thread

I’m currently on #[b]Abstain[/b] as I am very much in the dark at the moment. I am The Gardener and my motto is simple “ Do one thing every day that scares you. “ Well I am feeling scared so I am reaching out which I find scary! I am just trying to understand the game mechanics at this point! Anyone got any good ideas on how we can progress before CIA and Researchers get organised?

well i had jkl as gardener due to his post 150 - so much for what i know and the clues could mean almost anything.

mada = so you have a PM chat set up w lando?

I was never trying to imply that I am the gardener. My clues mean something else.

Do we assume that the occupation might link to a faction as in will logic prevail like a scientist will be a researcher or a cop is CIA or everyone thinks it’s random? I just don’t see how we can start to find out any real info? Has anyone else got any info?

Confused as well. I had jkl as garden too. Where does Tens comuestion on Mada = lando PM come from? I will comment that my past games dreams were [u]left to interpretationation[/u] and it was seemingly to big of a reveal for the 1st night. I mean it wasn't a lucky guess from an ability choice but a aledged Moderator share. [b]#ABSTAIN[/b] for now Also with the occupations, only the doc, cop and governor - assumed wouldn't be undercover CIA but could be corrupt Reasearchers. [b]#ABSTAIN[/b] for now

it seems that at least 4 players were in 1 on 1 private chat w others but no body is talking. it seems that most (if not all) have some special ability associated w their occupation that could help their faction. mada - did you learn anything about lando that you will tell us?

[quote=Hoodlum][quote=Madagascarter][quote=Hoodlum]or, then again.. if mada rocks up CIA, jkl could still be RESEARCHER...and vice versa..so not necessarily town. i think it's a good lynch to go with no matter what, from a town perspective.[/quote] Why would it be a good lynch to shoot a town protector?[/quote] didn't see this one addressed to me. good lynch, (if you are CIA/RESEARCHER) because a doctor will know who to protect. good for town. the odds on jkl being town would go from 1/3 to 1/2. he reads town to me, not sure if he is at the level of being awesome yet and making moves ahead. :) the doctor won't be accidentally protecting a non town [/quote] I am a doctor for some nights. Is it news that JKL likes to stir the pot? Every single game. During Elysium5’s game he made up a story of there being neutrals. Well TLM made it up but JKL added fuel to something which had no fuel to begin with and many people believed him. JKL will not share anything about his role. No one else had any dreams. V98 put way too much into this to give uncryptic clues. The only thing you are all lynching me on is the basis of “Trust Me.” I have given you my role, I’m waiting for Lando to confirm I’m the Librarian and to hopefully read some of the religious text to us. I have shared I am a doctor. Isn’t there so much more reason to trust me than JKL? What about JKL’s claim makes it in any way credible? [b]Lynch JKL[/b] He’s had enough time to justify himself for his wrong accusations and the best he’s got is “Trust me”. Contribute something useful please instead of stirring the mud

I just don’t see how we can start to find out any real info? Has anyone else got any info? [/quote] I wonder about this as well. As in, is the doctor to be assumed to be town or mafia? In previous posts people have mentioned the doctor healing mafia which lends itself to the doctor being mafia as well, but do we know if a scientific based role, like doctor, is automatically part of the researcher faction? One could reasonably assume so, but then doctors are helping professions so the doc may very well be town. Still not sure on lynch yet, going to continue to read through the forum as there were some things I wanted to bring back up that seem to have fallen away. More to come soon.
