Firefly

Spoiler:

Called it too freaking late... Still I should have seen it too but I was too sure Misnomer was simply lying (although that didn't really make sense either).

If we lose the reason we lost is because I was worried that Amy had been culted but could still use our kill so I hurried to send in the kill on Misnomer. Sorry Amy.

Advice needed on etiquette from someone not involved in either game

Political Parties and Fallout

Spoiler:

Snarks acting similar but worse in fallout as he is in political parties. I know that people reference previous behaviour in finished games, what are the general rules on referencing behaviour in an ongoing game. For example could I say "Snark is acting in fallout as he is in political parties and in political parites i believe he is town therefore I would not read that much into it"? This would also be influenced by all of the people in fallout but not political parties who can read spoilers on political parties. My gut feeling is no to this question but I thought I would check with more experienced people

Any advice welcome

It's not worth the hassle of doing it. It's ok enough to think it to yourself, but I wouldn't recommend making it public. What if you and Snark were scum together in this game? To others, when he dies and is revealed as scum, you could be suggesting he is scum in the other game. You'd end up with players in different games analysing stuff from a game they're not in - it's so not worth it

Or more explicitly, someome who kills the first person who targets him. Really though, googling "PGO Mafia" does a fabulous job here.

Thanks for the advice, I was leaning towards not doing it! Also for your interest I am town in both. I also feel Snark will probably get himself lynched in fallout pretty quickly anyway!

Yeah does make sense, thanks for the help. Still getting the hang of this! Probably also doesn't help that I have not played as scum yet which makes knowing what scum would do in that situation harder.

Werewolf:

Spoiler:

What's that? All the high mod-maintenace roles are being killed off/roleblocked? Yaaay, modpoints all round!

[DaBigCheez]

Werewolf:

Spoiler:

Yeeees...exactly as planned...

Well, not really, I'd hoped to live for at least another day and spew some more flavor-wine. Now it's all up to the rest of my faction to play their cards right.

In particular, if I don't get the Obi-Wan crap I was going for, I shall be sad.

(An exercise for the reader: Can you differentiate between the legitimate mod-flavor, and the total lies that we've put there to cause confusion? :3)

I do feel a little :smug: about some of my interactions up to this point, though - I think in particular, how I was acting around Adam and T1mm was good to keep people guessing about which side I was on (as it can be seen by either side as playing against them)...though evidently I may be false judging by the fact *someone* saw fit to shank me

I'm pleased with the way my role was revealed on death; it allowed for some of the misdirection we've already employed to stay in place, as well as possibly throwing people off on powerspec. I'm also amused that my extensive wall-of-text PMs (something like 1,900 words in my first PM of the night, and it was just the first of many), which I started with "hey, listeners, if you're out there, I'm not even gonna bother censoring or encrypting my PMs, so enjoy" could have potentially fallen into the hands of a listener, even though at least one of them is now dead :>

EDIT: Swallowing the flavor hook, line and sinker when you *know* there was a flavor-controller in the game? I get that you're scum and thus eager to spill more wine, but this should be amusing to watch. *gets out a big ol' tub of popcorn and kicks back*

Spoiler:

Lataro just won a game, he's in the middle of modding a game, and he's about to start modding another game!! He better not be modkilled, is all I can say. He has such an interesting power, too - a pro-town arsonist miller, from what I can tell, though I have doubts as to how much that investigation result can be trusted.

It is not for Lataro. Please confine comments about player activity to the game thread or to your spoilers.

[BoomFrog]

Werewolf

Spoiler:

Posting this mostly for Misnomer's amusement. The reason I claimed "Guardian" instead of "Alpha" is a tiny little suspicion that it's possible one of my pack has a secret goal of taking down the Alpha. Probably paranoia but from what I've seen of the set-up so far it is not out of the question. I lost my previous game as scum because of not trusting my teammates though. Hopefully that doesn't happen again.

I like the set-up so far, it will probably keep people guessing about what is going on until the final day.

2of4

Spoiler:

If you are playing in Lataro's 2of4 game and are still alive then you have made a mistake by reading this. Go check the rules.

The town had seen some rough times, and this time, it would be no different. The mafia was back, people were dying, and there was only one answer, wholesale discount on rope, and a trip to the park...

That park has to be truly disgusting by now.

[Angua]

Spoiler:

I'm sorry krong, for being so against snark, but their very certain playstyle definitely rubs me the wrong way. I doubt they'll get lynched because of my post though.

[tastelikecoke]

Werewolf:

Spoiler:

Reading some spoilers. The scumpatriots must be joyful. Snark still pisses me off for leading my lynch, scum or not.

I still don't get why people think 2 NKs hitting the same person is highly unlikely. at 20 people and 3 NKs that chance is still 10% (almost the catch rate of Dialga!), and more NKs means higher probabilities.

[wam]

werewolves

Spoiler:

I investigated fearless last night and she turned up not evil. So I now have the dilema do I try and save fearless from the lynch and maybe get lynched myslef. (especially if im a non sane cop and my results are wrong), or do I let fearless get lynched so that I can work out if I'm a sane cop or not? Im currently trying to go for a slightly protect fearless but not over the top.

[Angua]

werewolf

Spoiler:

Maybe we should just sacrifice Krong and kill snark straight out if they turn up scum. Also, fearless had better turn out to be town - I'm not even defending her, just pointing out the holes in snark's logic.

[Adam H]

Werewolf:

Spoiler:

I'm doing some real soul searching. Am I just buddying up with Snark because he's my teammate? Am I ignoring his stupidity because I'm blinded by our faction bond? Am I following his lead because I'm afraid having an original thought might result in a scumslip?

Or do I actually think he's right and everyone else is wrong? I hope it's the latter, because otherwise I'm lying to myself, which is something I've never really thought myself capable of.

But anyways, my main goal at this point is to get a life and stop posting so much! It works so well for everyone else. I started making a scum list but scrapped it when I realized it consisted of everyone who's posted today, and no one else.

Spoiler:

Did GL really jsut ask for thoughts about a bunch of strategies in the same post as he hammered?

[Adam H]

I figured now is as good a time as any to put Resistance 5 in signups, since evil auction and political parties look close to being finished. It'll be less time-consuming than previous iterations of Resistance, so don't let that stop you from signing up.

Hopefully I won't steal any signups from snatch...

[DaBigCheez]

Was thinking about putting up a Gargoyles mafia in the Turbo slot soonish (based on the cartoon series of the same name), but thought I'd come here to gauge interest first and see if I should bother fleshing it out more. Any fans of the series around?

(It might be a week or two before I put it up either way, to give other games time for some people to die off - lots of games just starting now)

[Krong]

Political Parties:

Spoiler:

Well this is shaping up to be a right ol' clusterfuck. Fortunately for town, 4 of them have gone bear, so mafia won't auto-win tomorrow. Unfortunately for mafia, no mafia have yet changed parties or submitted a kill. (CF said he did in thread... but I don't have anything from him. PREVIEW EDIT: ahammel just went bear.) The clock is ticking... I won't have much sympathy if they don't end up acting as they need to, because they've had since Monday, with really no mysteries today as to what's going to happen.

Also, Misnomer is going to be copped by Angua. Which sets up the interesting bit here:

Kill Angua = Snark is confirmed town.
Kill Snark = Angua and Misnomer look like a scumteam? Probably their best bet.
Kill Misnomer = TERRIBLE PLAN. Then 2 scumbuddies will be forced to vote each other the rest of eternity, since they both "know" the other player broke turtle.

There is also the opportunity for scum to all go Fish and try to semi-speed-lynch town. Then we'd have:

4-3 at day start
3-3 due to fish-assisted lynch
3-2 due to obvious bear kill
2-2 at start of next day due to NK... and scum wins by staying in Fish or by switching to Bear.

That could work VERY well, as it's unlikely town will agree to a lynch in 24 hours time (the time before Fish activates), even when faced with 3 suspicious-looking independents. (And if there's a townie still independent, that's even rougher.)

Hmm, let's test the interest gauge:

1----------@10 - Ding!

Seems we have a winner.

But how will scum ever live up to the reputation of Xanatos? (I won't link to TVtropes but I think you know what I mean.)

I would strongly prefer some assurance that claiming named characters will not be useful pretty much ever.

[Adam H]

Spoiler:

Kill Angua = Snark is confirmed town.

That would be what I'd do. At this point I'd be looking at Snark like an old, dear friend who would never do anything to harm me.

Kill Misnomer = TERRIBLE PLAN. Then 2 scumbuddies will be forced to vote each other the rest of eternity, since they both "know" the other player broke turtle.

Actually, this might be the safest plan. It would mean that mafia would probably lose a player, but the game's pretty vanilla at this point and 2v4 is pretty good odds for scum with a town this bad. Snark would probably lynch Angua immediately anyways.

Just a question on hosting mafia. How do most hosts set up mafia night chat? Is it only though group PM?

No spoilers for 2of4 yet? I shall fix that!

2of4 newbie game

Spoiler:

I think I am playing a pretty good town game so far, except for the fact that I am the mafia role cop all this discussion on what people think mafia is going to do is only giving me better ideas than what I had before (withhold the kill night one and each subsequent night target the preceding night's role cop target, keeping town on the path to mylo) but now I think I might try to find and kill any cop that might exist first.

Spoiler:

Well, I'm a bit disappointed snark hasn't started second guessing himself by now. Also, misnomer is going to turn up town when they lynch him, which at least justifies me not lynching him yesterday!!!!

Also, scum probably deserves to win this one - town played a pretty awful game (especially me). I blame the fact I kept having trouble getting all the party strategy through my head!

[Krong]

Political Parties:

Spoiler:

Doh, I think I referred to CF as a he in earlier spoilers. Sorry about that, should have checked the pronoun thread.

Also, anyone want to give advice as to when I should call the game won? If town is lynched today and/or greenlover gets bearkilled, I can't think of any way mafia loses unless they leave Bear for no reason. I might be missing something, though...

[Lataro]

werewolf:

Spoiler:

I am acting rather weird on purpose. I'm able to kill a large number of people at once, and am trying to survive as long as possible under the radar so that I can stack as many kills as possible before using the one-shot prompt to do the killing. After that prompt, I am basically vanilla town. This makes me a kinda delayed action vig. I figure if I can avoid the lynch, the way I'm playing is VERY unlikely to draw any anti-town kills, and I am hoping that the "Lataro is a jester" angle doesn't lead to some kind of vig kill. Seeing as I'm effectively a town vig though, I'm counting on my power being the only town kill here.
