WebMafia Olympics: Bonus Qualification Round

[ghug]

Time for bed, more tomorrow.

I'm willing to bet $5 that Ghug will be voting me when I check back in.

##VOTE Jamie. Always happy to help a friend in need.

I'm in need of you fucking off.

I have won $5 from myself. Hurruh.

I'm reading everything you say in John de Lancie's voice.

##VOTE Bunny

So weird and very unsettling

I don’t know how to open links I find on WebDip.

Quote then copy and paste

It's a good voice.

I apparently have a good voice myself, I've been told. I am good at reading stories to my girlfriend's children.

A bet? Gamble much?

Wait is betting considered gambling? It feels stupid but I thought bets were different.

Also it feels weird being able to recognize more people’s names this time and with more to them than it sounds familiar tbh.

Betting is a form of gambling, yes.

Betting is a subset of gambling. I think of betting as gambling applying intellect (eg poker or horseracing) as opposed to pure chance like roulette or lottery.

Hello

Suspicious

Oh lord, Damo is going to scumread me for not saying "Fellow Town" in my first post, isn't he?

I do that as any alignment, Damo, and I do not always do it.

Oh I thought you were rdr

[damo666]

Actually idk if that would count and I’m lazy to check so ##vote just

##Vote Will and ##Vote Just both count.

He's just so EASY to vote for!

Maybe I'm wrong.

[damo666]

Add apparently to the begging of the sentence to make it seem like it was due to someone else rather than admitting i wait for the exact minute the game starts due to my liking for the game of mafia

“Apparently posting first”

It seems weird to talk like that tbh. Is that really something you do? It seems so distinct

My own post is buried under like 7 layers of irony so good luck deciphering that shit

##vote Just

[Jamiet99uk]

Hm slow game

Any thoughts on how to speed it up? or might we just have to wait for more people to come online?

Do I dare say we need a champion? Someone to rile the crowds without fear of being killed?

Couldn’t be me. Good luck with that. ##vote kingofthepirates

Huh?

I don't understand this vote.

Cut and paste into your browser, or if you don't know how to do that, ask someone under 40 for help.

Brilliant reply! I will be leaning into my age.

Anyway the point was just being silly; you said "What is Ghug?" and I re-wrote that into the lyrics of the 1993 Haddaway song "What is Love?", substituting the word "Ghug" in place of the word "Love".

[Hamilton Brian]

Reading the setup now; that Gambler role reads like high risk, high reward. But bet wrong on the champion and it's "gone-zo." Fun.

And I am not Gambler.

[Jamiet99uk]

You can do the same thing with lots of songs. For example this favourite by Queen:

This thing called Ghug
I just can't handle it
This thing called Ghug
I must get 'round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called Ghug

This thing (this thing) called Ghug (called Ghug)
He cries (like a baby), in a cradle all night
He swings (woo), he jives (woo)
Shakes all over like a jellyfish
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called Ghug.

That's exactly what the actual Gambler would say.

Claiming not to be a specific scum role is not very useful really, is it Brian?

Songs of Ghug, a K-Tel record advertised on television heavily in the 70s and 80s.

Did they have that crap in Britain back then or was that simply an American thing?

Yes, we had K-Tel complication records in the UK as well.

Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Probably depends on the audience.

There's a couple of non-posters I see. There's also a fair amount of spread around the posting times. This is a pretty low-volume D1 start.

[Hamilton Brian]

Posting first to stabilize my meta while also doing a bit where i am incredibly self aware, thus invalidating any scumread of me due to me wanting to maintain my town meta

Now that I am taking this a bit more seriously than I was last night, why is your demonstration of self-awareness a "bit?"

It seems to me that as town we're going to be routinely flippant and off-colour and off-base; in otherwords, woefully self-unaware. Wouldn't mafia play with a great deal of self-awareness?
