Darth Nihilus Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Star Wars quotes For the Win! Scuba should be the one saying this, but: "Our forces can't repel quotes of that magnitude!"
Flipz Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Day One is up! Star Wars quotes For the Win! I have a feeling Doc spent several hours doing nothing but looking up useful Star Wars quotes to use as soon as he found out he was playing.
swils Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 I have a feeling Doc spent several hours doing nothing but looking up useful Star Wars quotes to use as soon as he found out he was playing. You say that as though you haven't done the same
Flipz Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 You say that as though you haven't done the same I'm ashamed to admit I have not. The last couple of days have been kinda busy.
Brickdoctor Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 I have a feeling Doc spent several hours doing nothing but looking up useful Star Wars quotes to use as soon as he found out he was playing. You don't think I already know those quotes by heart?

Flipz Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 How quickly will a player be replaced following inaction? [handwave]Calm thyself, young one. Have patience. It will take quite some time, and you are not the first on the list. Sit back, relax, enjoy. [/handwave]

fhomess Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 All you bleepin' bleepers don't bleepin' appreciate any role play in your bleepin' bleep games! I'm gonna bleepin' vote for the bleepin' bleepest of you all! Fine... I'll put my own comments in. At least one person thought it was fun. (me)

LEGOman273 Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Gaaaaaaah! Folowing intently, yet not being able to play, is making me insane!
Palathadric Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Mind tricks do not work on other Jedi. We are not weak-minded. You are not a Jedi. If you were a Jedi, you would be at the Temple. Sorry mate, but this mind trick is doing its work on you. All you bleepin' bleepers don't bleepin' appreciate any role play in your bleepin' bleep games! I'm gonna bleepin' vote for the bleepin' bleepest of you all! Fine... I'll put my own comments in. At least one person thought it was fun. (me) In general people don't appreciate role-playing much in Mafia. I tried for a long while in Bedtime Story, but it also only brought suspicion on me. Right now people are still talking at least somewhat in character, probably in the next few days though, it will become less and less in character. It's disappointing I know, but people are more despearte to kill the scum than to stick to their roles, so...I guess it's a good thing, kind of...

Hinckley Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Vote Tally: Ashoka Tano (MacK) 3 Votes - Sisco, Kadabra, JackJonespaw "Discussed this will be. Probably allowed, it will become." "No, the Jedi with the most votes, lynched they will be." Despite the Prequel Trilogy, Yoda didn't invert every sentence he spoke.
Masked Builder Posted May 9, 2012 Author Posted May 9, 2012 Despite the Prequel Trilogy, Yoda didn't invert every sentence he spoke. That's true, but it is rather fun to invert them.
Flipz Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 In general people don't appreciate role-playing much in Mafia. I tried for a long while in Bedtime Story, but it also only brought suspicion on me. To be fair, you DID deserve that suspicion, we were just giving it for the wrong reasons.
fhomess Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 In general people don't appreciate role-playing much in Mafia. I've come to decide that this is a flaw in the way people here play the game. First off, it's disrespectful of the game creator, who went out of their way to craft an interesting storyline and environment in which to set the game. Then they went and built elaborate MOC's to showcase and tell that story. What's the point of all that work if all the players just throw it out the window. Second, the game is far more interesting if you can play it in character rather than just as a generic you. We wonder why there is so much metagaming... well maybe it's in part because people play the game exactly the same regardless of their character. Flitwick seems to be the only person who regularly gets away with it.

Flitwick seems to be the only person who regularly gets away with it. It's not true though. Def did an excellent series of posts on this back in Yakuza Mafia, somewhere in the day threads. Roleplaying is fun, it gives flair to the game, but it should not be annoying, or limiting the game. After all, people have limited time (and energy) and having to wade through each post, trying to figure out what they are trying to say should not be made any harder. On top of that, some players genuinely don't like roleplaying, and I don't think you can force people to stay in character the whole time. Also: Metagaming is a stupid concept, whoever thought that up, you suck.
LEGOman273 Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Pointless Role-Play posts/portions of posts spams up the day threads, and makes it difficult to understand meaning. Posting in-character/in-universe adds to the game and makes it more enjoyable. I.E. Referring characters as "Master Kenobi" or "Padawan Tano", stating that you saw a "Holovid", etc is fine. "Inane beeping" is not.

LEGOman273 Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Who made you game mod? I was trying to add to the discussion; I should have put an "IMO" in. I'm sorry.
Masked Builder Posted May 9, 2012 Author Posted May 9, 2012 I was trying to add to the discussion; I should have put an "IMO" in. I'm sorry. Alright I see what you mean. And I do agree with your statement.
Dakar A Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Wow! I figured the discussion would be long with 26 players, but 20 pages!? I guess a lot goes on in the Jedi temple! Good game so far, masked, I'll try and follow it a little better!
Palathadric Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 And there are still 24 hours to go for Day 1. Glad you didn't participate in the game now, aren't you?
JackJonespaw Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Wow! I figured the discussion would be long with 26 players, but 20 pages!? I guess a lot goes on in the Jedi temple! Good game so far, masked, I'll try and follow it a little better! It is a huge number of pages. Is this the most that a game's first day has been?
