Volvox, a townsperson, has been voted off, meaning that the Mafia have won (they now control the voting). Nice work people!

Would the two other Mafia members now like to reveal themselves?

When I get home I will be posting the game spreadsheet which details all players' positions and votes.

Has anyone worked out who the Godfather is? I've been dropping clues in my News stories. Hint: He is a fictitious character.

Damn and I guessed that right at the very start of the game too, untill I got told I wasn't allowed to have suspicions. I'll take that as a minor victory for myself though :D

my guess is its "Don Vito Corleone"

Well that's a fun way to die. :s

yea, what i thought was interesting is that we mafia only killed you *after* doing all those other horrible things :devil: :innocent: :rofl:

I know I haven't been involved in this at all, but I've been reading on with interest since it started, and I had a small suggestion.

Was there any relation between a participant's overall post count and their participation in the game? I'm not one to give someone with a high post count preferential treatment, but if someone generally posts a lot on Neowin, it seems that they would be more likely to post more in the game, which would lead to more communication and a better game environment.

You could set a post count requirement for the game, but something low, like 100. This would allow relatively new people to join, but brand new people would not be able to join.

Just a thought.

Oh you bitch! :) I should've known it was you! How didn't I see that coming... How could you kill me? :cry:

I'm in the next one!!!

Here is the voting data in Excel format. Mafia killings were group decisions.

By the way, does anyone want to look back over the posts and clues to figure out which fictitious character was the Godfather, or should I spoil it and post the answer? It isn't difficult if you re-read my posts of this thread in order.

dont know if you saw, but i said above i think its vito corleone. probably wrong though!

lol that spreadsheet is brilliant! shof was the only one who suspected me. too bad he was suspected by more people... :shifty:

i noticed too that too many people didnt vote. this gave those who did a much greater power. but this didnt really help us mafia all that much as we werent always voting either...

for those wanting to play this game again, there are some good lessons to be learnt looking over that spreadsheet.

all praise to the great lt-davew for an excellent game !!!! :D

I also have a spreadsheet for the Mafia members. See for youself who was most suspected (the link has not been updated at the end, and ignore what you don't understand).

actually thats quite a good resource in that it shows our thinking along the way. we were always paranoid, trying to get rid of the sherriff, after the doc went :unsure:

    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
