All this game does is make me angry
The interpersonal aspect of this game is just so frustrating. My expectations for how this game is played is completely thrown out the window.

Brand new game with full disclosure (A Midsummer's Eve)
I have just created a brand new game, password protected, non-anon and full press. If still permitted, I would like to play this game with someone whom I know in real life. This player is Doug7878 who is my Dad.
The password is the word "agree," entirely in lowercase.

Actually, ghug's theme song would have to be "Eamon Stole My Woman", it's the story of his life.
And yes that song exists: http://tinyurl.com/owwg4xl
Also, the general theme song for this game has to be "Lose My Life" by Papercut Massacre.

Vash, you need to make clear that I'm the thief and not the narrator or it doesn't have the proper effect.
Actually wjessop I think these may be better theme songs for you:

Speaking of songs I heard this one the other day and it reminded me of mafia. Not of any player in particular: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpQi_ZCBa6w

I heard it after watching true detective.

@Vash good thing you posted the censored version right
@DO: Of course, I'm not that horrible when having fun with people who have issues with profanity.
I feel like this is a good theme for the scum team in general: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q_xzDMzVag

I find it odd that someone who knows nothing about my Mafia game behavior has choosen music to represent me.

What this tells me is that we have a person that is more than willing to try to cast a person in a certain light, even thought they have no information about them.

i.e. this person is a Scum....the kind of fellow who will railroad you to the execution chamber on no evidence....because he has an ulterior motive.

I'm keeping my eye on THAT suspicious bastard...

definitely going to be tough for wjessop going into an all star game with the only game behind him as the mafia MVP. if I'm town i don't know what it would take to get me to trust him.
@y2k: Five gold and a party for me.
wjessop (100 DX)
10 Jul 15 UTC
@y2k: that seems illogical: each game is different and a fresh start
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
10 Jul 15 UTC
well obviously i won't be going into the game assuming you're scum, but can you fault me for probably analyzing you with a bit more scrutiny and skepticism than others that I might feel more comfortable and confident at reading accurately?
wjessop (100 DX)
10 Jul 15 UTC
its like saying any player with a competent performance as mafia becomes less trustworthy, which would most likely mean most of the players on this list cannot be trusted by you. Presumably the "what it takes" part of your statement above is that you can spot tells from the players base here that suggest whether they're town or not based on the meta...but this isn't the be all and end all to the game. Having a near-unbreakable distrust me of in a new game simply because I was good scum in the contrived world of the last game would be too simplistic and unhelpful (as well as a lazy starting point to a case on me).
wjessop (100 DX)
10 Jul 15 UTC
@y2k: certainly, I agree with you there. Actually, I think the challenge of you needing to apply your abilities to scrutinise and be sceptical is a primary function of this game -- so I'm glad if the reduced meta data available on me makes the game more challenging; I thought the most boring and lazy part of Mafia 9 was the frequent insistence in comparing play from one game to the next; it presumes far too much.
y2kjbk (4846 D(G))
10 Jul 15 UTC
this game will be fraught with meta-arguments about how people have played in past games. that's unavoidable and not necessarily a bad thing, since as veteran players i'd like to think we'll use those meta-arguments carefully and only use them to guide arguments for or against someone's scumminess, relying mainly on current game actions. all those meta arguments scream WIFOM and quite frankly are lazy and scummy in and of themselves, saying someone is good or bad based on what you know about them in past games and avoiding actually analyzing current game actions.
wjessop (100 DX)
10 Jul 15 UTC
Exactly. I agree with all of that.
wjessop (100 DX)
10 Jul 15 UTC
@krellin: My choice of theme song for krellin was based on his general forum contributions, rather than Mafia specifically. It was meant light-heartedly.

CDs and the collapse of empires
Just wanted to observe how frustrating it is when a player becomes less committed to the game when they look to be in trouble. What can possibly be done to stop this ruining end games for everyone else?

(Also, someone (ghug?) mentioned not long ago a game where Germany recovered from 2 centres to solo. I can't find it again, can someone point me in the right direction?)

The Deathcount of Wall Street
I was thinking of doing some research on how many people died by Wall Street practices (through sucking companies out causing unemployment, profiting from and at the cost of pension funds ruining people's pensions, etc, etc.).

Does anyone have an idea of where to start and how to go about this?

Why so many gunboat games ?
I don't really have a problem with gunboat but I thought this game was designed for people to talk between themselves and scheme and form alliances in advance and fool your allies telling them you will, for example, support them somewhere but end up attacking them instead. For a few weeks I've seen only gunboat (live games)
