!! That's a dodgy rule. 3 of them can vote for a townsperson!

Yes, which is why communication between townspeople on this board is integral to the game. Everybody should be playing as a team, not individually.

The only reason the Mafia win when the number of Mafia = the number of non-Mafia is because then the Mafia control the voting process.

All you have to do to win is vote off two more players.

Day 6, Morning

Morning News

Two Mafia members exposed, yet there are no signs they are backing down now. benac's body was found outside Church Green this morning after being ripped to pieces by angry dogs last night. The Sheriff is treating his death as suspicious. The dogs are thought to have been drugged and released onto the poor chap by the two remaining Mafia members.

The Sheriff has asked everyone to come forward with information and not be afraid to speak publicly.

"At this stage, the two Mafia members primary concerns will be for their anonymity, and they will not risk targeting those who speak up out of fears of being exposed" the Sheriff said.

"After all, nothing bad has happened to me" he added.

Question: Are people still interested in completing this game, because I'd hate to think I was doing this for nothing..

I'm waiting for the next round, and I'm sure those that play it enjoy the game. Just out of curiosity, did you write the news bulletins or did you get them off some place?

I wrote them myself, and I'm now running out of ideas being the conventionally uncreative person I am.

I died way too quickly...whoever was responsible for that gets not prize...I have to get in next game!!! :crazy: I'm such a good girl, I think I deserve it :p

I wouldn't have voted you off personally. You definitely deserve another chance. I think all the major players of this game should get first choice in the next game. Wait until this game is complete and then I will be posting the spreadsheet I have created detailing everyone's votes and positions. That should be fun to see..

I think maybe some of the people signed up for the hell of it but then couldn't actually be arsed to do much, hopefully next time everyone will get more involved and work together rather than just guessing and not communicating much with each other.

I think so too, but let's just finish this game shall we first? After all, if this game fails, who will want to dedicate their time to moderating another?

If your going to participate in the next game of Neowin Mafia, I was considering that an alliance of 4 or 5 or 6 people would help out (It also adds strategy to the game).

I may have over analyzed this game, But it is part of the strategy and makes it much more interesting.

The idea is:

When the "alliance" is settled, those 4 or 5 or 6 people will PM each other what position they hold in the game (This is assuming that the Townspeople/doctor/sheriff are on the same team).

Then based on the majority of what position they hold in the game (Say 3 of the 4 people are townspeople) They will PM each other speculations on who is who and vote in agreement based on what person they want to have eliminated. Part of the agreement of the alliance is that the majority will not vote to eliminate the minority until a later stage in the game (This can be defined more if people decide to join up. Maybe a specific round can be declared "open season" allowing the remaining alliance members to vote each other out).

The minority has the option of working with the members of his position (mafia/towns person/doc/sheriff) to eliminate non-alliance members (In safe haven from the majority) up until the point when "open season" is defined (Then alliance members are open to be eliminated within the alliance).

If it turns out to be a split of 2/2 or 3/3 (Two mafia, Two townspeople if there are 4 alliance members) Then each duo will work with each other to define the outcome as much as possible.

If the alliance is severed:

If a member is clearly eliminated by another member of the alliance before the "open season" round (By clearly I mean, If the minority member remains and systematically the majority seems to be dieing off round after round or vise versa), Then the member will be permanently removed from any future alliances, and or possibly removed by the remaining members next round.

The idea of the alliance is the idea of the game itself, To win (Cheating within the alliance is pointless).

If anyone thinks this is an interesting idea, please let me know.

I didn't bother reading ALL of it, but it sounds fun to me. :D

EDIT:

Neowin News.

The Neowin news is regretfully required to report the untimely death of our venerable moderator, lt-davidw. One of our top reporters, APH-Alex has been elected unanimously by the townsfolk, and surprisingly, the mafia, to be our new moderator. He will also be assuming the place of "Ruler over all of us." The sheriff has had some suspicion that the death of David and the election of Alex was the work of the mafia. However, after some talking with the doctor, and some rectal probing, he was convinced that the mafia was not involved at all. Our town is still not quite safe yet, the mafia have been yet again spotted driving their orange van throughout the night. We have some suspicions that they are in cahoots with an allegedly "dead" SacrificialSoldier. We at the Neowin Times have sent our best investigators out on the case to find out just what the mafia is up to now.

In related news, it seems that Astro Zombie has won the lottery. Congratulations to her, she is now elligible to be selected for a draw to win one million dollars.

David wanted out... JK

    • Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Save 35% on Sony's SS-CS5M2 3-way high-res bookshelf speakers by Taras Buria Sony is currently offering a big discount on its SS-CS5M2 bookshelf speaker, saving you 35% on a set of high-quality audio equipment. The SS-CS5M2 is a passive 3-way bookshelf speaker with a 5.12-inch woofer, a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter, and a 19 mm super tweeter. This design allows different drivers to handle different parts of the sound spectrum for a clearer, more detailed audio when watching movies or listening to music. The compact cabinet size allows you to place these speakers on shelves, desks, or stands, making them a practical choice for apartments, bedrooms, and small living rooms. Despite its compact size, the SS-CS5M2 delivers up to 100 W of power. Note that since the speakers are passive, you will need an amplifier to drive them. However, if you do, you can use them for high-resolution music, thanks to a claimed frequency response of 53 Hz - 50 kHz. It is able to extend so far high in the spectrum as a result of those super tweeters. While they will work with most amplifiers and AV receivers, Sony says this pair is a perfect match for its AV receivers, such as STRDH190, 590, 790, or 1000.

    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By AltecXP · Posted

      So they somehow expect Apple to easily make it so that if I install say DeepSeek that DS can then handle all the tasks that Siri would be doing while integrated in the OS? That sounds like just rediculous.
    • AMD 9070XT

      By Mockingbird · Posted

      For ray-tracing, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is better than the GeForce RTX 5070, but worse than the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti The Radeon RX 9070 XT is similar to the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in rasterization Both AMD and NVIDIA have had serious issues with drivers in the past, so I can't say that one is better or worse than the other. Yes. AMD has better support Linux than does NVIDIA. Use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to uninstall NVIDIA's drivers before installing AMD's drivers. That's up to you. Supplies of memory is unpredictable because AI using up a lot of memory. As a result, there is a lot of volatility in video card prices.

      Promoting is fine - advertising, informing, whatever.  But interrupting your PAID OS experience is not.
