Oh, yeah. That red droid who blows up at the beginning of New Hope? He was force sensitive, and saw through the force that R2D2 would be important to the rebellion.

(I wish I were making this up. I'm not.)

...welp, good luck!

Hi

I'm not sure what to ask yet

If I become scum I guess we have to be subtle about targeting the votes, mixed with mindful shitposting
 

Android Sophia

Miss Congeniality
No worries. I check the site regularly, so it shouldn't take me more than a few hours to respond each time unless I'm sleeping.

If you get scum, you'll have the aid of your scummates to help you as well. So that's always a nice benefit.
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
I guess that at the beginning its just post and chill and being paranoid, there is nothing extremely hard with that it seems.

Unless the roles are fucked up

You wouldn't get to see the scumboard if I am selected, right?

soph wont be seeing scummie chat if you were rolled scum

senseis are not supposed to play the game for you but if you have general questions like what things are meant in our internal community lingo, then you can ask her. for example, you can ask what does "Blarg will be Blarg" means (Blarg isn't a player in this game) or you can ask what does MyLo/LyLo means. Or you can ask her for support when things get overwhelming. She can also provide general support and information with regards to mafia mechanic and terminologies.

Ok, so lets start

What does "Blarg will be Blarg" and MyLo/LyLo mean?

Ok, so lets start

What does "Blarg will be Blarg" and MyLo/LyLo mean?

While he's not in this game, Blarg is somewhat of a notorious player among our regulars. If you want to see why, check out the invitational going on.

Mylo and Lylo refer to the endgame of a Mafia game. Mylo = Mislynch and Lose. Lylo = Lynch or Lose.

When the game is said to be in Mylo or Lylo, that means the town players in the game must correctly lynch scum, or they will lose the game. However, in Mylo, town also has the option to delay the game by voting for a no lynch. This causes another night phase to happen, usually resulting in another death happening, and pushes the game into Lylo. Town may not no lynch in Lylo.

Seems confusing, I guess I will understand better when the time comes.

All conversations besides the scumboard have to be public right? No private chats between citizens and that, unlike Diplomacy(never played it, hope I do someday).
 

Android Sophia

Miss Congeniality
Correct. Unless you're given explicit permission by the gamerunner, all game talk is regulated to the thread where the game is played.
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
I hadn't thought about this but all roles must be secret right?

Also I can't make firefox mobile remember the password of this site even though i'm synced sigh
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
Like, I think that roles are given to you in secret, but you can roleplay your character if you want?
 

Android Sophia

Miss Congeniality
You'll receive a PM with your role before the game starts. You'll usually have to respond to the role PM to confirm you're playing.

You can roleplay if you like, yeah. Some chose to do so.

Just as a heads up, most people don't. That doesn't mean that you can't or shouldn't. (One of my favorite players used to roleplay every game as a different character, often choosing characters completely unrelated to the theme of whatever game she was playing.) Just be advised that RP isn't really typical for our games.

Hope I had talent for doing a good roleplaying, I think I will just ashame myself :)

So I got town

My character has the ability of killing someone each odd day/night

Sounds ridiculously overpowered but there must be other fear inducing powers out there.

It is considered poor sportmanship to care more about your own fun that your team winning?

I'm feeling like killing on day one :) but there are more chances of hitting a lawful citizen, naturally....

Here is my full role in case i am missing something:


Welcome to the Band of the Hawk, turmoil7, i sure hope you like ultra violence.

You are SERPICO, the Vigilante.
The retainer of lady farnese, your aloof attitude leads many to expect little from you, allowing you to strike out against any threats when they least expect it.

Once in the game, on an Odd night you may select any player to be night killed. Do this by sending STRIKE: <player name> to a game mod.
Your ability is only activated on ODD days/nights, on EVEN days/nights, you are effectively Vanilla.

You are aligned with THE BAND OF THE HAWK (Town)
You win when all threats to Town have been eliminated.

Where I can find the first batman game?

It is for emmmm educational purposes
 

Android Sophia

Miss Congeniality
First Batman game was at NeoGAF, I don't have a link to it. I'll try and find it, although I imagine Retro will chime in with the link before I do.

You should have fun with the game, but do try to win. Actively throwing the game is against the rules.
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
I didn't understand that. Thanks for the advice you both :) and for the link, a resettler told me I can find some sick roleplaying there

QUESTION: After the town lynches someone, does it gets to know if that person was town or scum? Or does that remains a mystery until the game ends?
 

Android Sophia

Miss Congeniality
In most Mafia games, you will usually find out what alignment and role someone was once they're lynched. This is known as as a flip.

In very rare cases, usually reserved for bastard or non-standard games, there may not be a flip. But this is fairly uncommon unless it's a mechanic. Dark Souls Mafia was one of the only games I think that had no flips right away as a mechanic.

That thread became a graveyard without avvys nor usernames.

What a shame
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
If I want to reveal my ability, could people ask me to post my role pm(without for the alignment, obv) as proof?

If I want to lie and say my ability is different, should I write a fake role PM beforehand to be ready?
 

Android Sophia

Miss Congeniality
Quoting your role PM is forbidden. Likewise, quoting a "fake" role PM is also against the rules.

You need to word stuff in your own words if you wish to reveal/claim, such as "I'm a Vigilante!"
 

ynnny

SPIDER
turmu, you can paraphrase but you cant directly quote your PM

you can also prepare fakies but when you do drop fakies in the game thread, dont format it like the actual role PM that you got, just word it as if you are paraphrasing a real role PM
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
Ya got some general thoughts on nolynch on first day?

I don't know if doing it, I dont know anything, not having info sucks.

If I want to do my trick with better chances of hitting scum I would need to wait a good chunck. Second half of game best. But I would have big chances of being terminated before, ah decisions...

What tools should I have? I made an spreadsheet to keep track of votes and that's it.

Also how many scummies there are usually in a game? Sqrt(#town)?(4-5 here)
 

Android Sophia

Miss Congeniality
You'll find a lot of different opinions on day 1 no lynches. I think it's best if you ask in the game thread once the game starts, or google your own research on it.

As for tools, you shouldn't need anything special. The game runners will keep track of the votes.

Scum varies from game design to game design, but typically I've always ran my games with around 20% scum to town.
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
Thanks for the answer above

It's open season now o . o

Do 0 day roles exist?
A cop is a citizen that can discover mafia scummies(except for the godfather(Idea of Evil?)) if I am not mistaken right?
What's a mafia lynch bomb?
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
I don't a s*** of what is going on lol

I'm leaning towards the philosophy of that having as many town controlled kills, even if blindly and mislynch at the beginnig, increases the chances of town victory.

If I follow that, I will RNG STRIKE someone on N1, I feel bad for the fella that won't get to play a lot tho.

Not sure if you can comment on my thoughts, I just feel like sharing them at the moment.

Greetings :)

I can't comment obviously, but feel free to share you thoughts if you want.

That being said, I might be slow to respond. Comcast is being crappy today -.-
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
Yeah everyone was shitting on that on the discords I am

Now I feel like skipping the strike until N3 if I made it there, because I fear I am a victim of confirmation bias lol

I started to dominate the narrative now? :3

This will get me lynched lol

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
If I strike someone and that someone is being protected by an investigative role, I would lose my shot and effectively become vanilla?
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
Other question: whats happen if someone is striked/NK before a protector protects it?

Does the 'real time' in which actions where done matter? Or all investigative and protective powers used are activated before kill actions? Like, it's the same to protect someone at the beginning of the night that doing so just before the deadline.

There is typically an order of night actions, and in most games, the night kill will occur last. It doesn't matter when you submit your night action, as long as you do it before the deadline.

Real time is an interesting idea, but our community is spread literally all over the globe, so it is not really feasible.

Could be an interesting variation for Live Mafia, though.
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
Wait I don't understand

All post counts ended with '10 votes for majority'

So why did Zook die if he had only 9 votes?

I thought that would be like a no lynch day, unless we were playing with plurality(the player with most votes is voted out regardless of it being a majority vote)
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
What's the difference between reaching and not reaching majority then?
 

Android Sophia

Miss Congeniality
If the day ends, the person with the most votes is lynched. If majority is reached, the day ends automatically. If majority is not reached, and there's a tie, then it's (usually) a no lynch.
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
I couldn't find any scumtell tbh, but Lux looking for meaning in the item looks funny to me, so I will follow that.

Although Salva said that he gave the item to Lux, that is dead now if his medic roleclaim is true. Scummy.

So I RNG'd and got Kalor and almost striked him, but didn't because I decided that I was freaking out.

Although I think I'm in a disadvantaged position due to me changing votes 2 times in the end. Voting for Salva after he asked for it me was such a good move in my eyes. I shouldn't had let me be pressured by what everyone else was doing.

But again I didn't understand the 10 votes thing so no crying over spilled milk now.

So I have to survive 2 lynchs and 2 NKs to get to N3, I sure hope scum is going random, or that they aren't but believe in my poor scumhunting skills aiding them :p

So today sure was a bad day for Town, now we can't trust our Odd days spy if he roleclaims in the future, and if Lux is effectively not mafia and half of our medic, we are probably fucked already.

I wish our odd nights Cop luck.

If I'm alive by N3 is highly likely I will shot the most suspect person then. Now my worry is if I should try to subtly introduce the rethoric of a double day.
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
I wish our odd nights Cop luck.

Were my prayers heard?!?! I for sure hope everything has been said today is true

If scum spares my live tonight I think I am in a good position to strike on N3, worst case scenario I will have to roleclaim tomorrow to be spared of a lynch.

Can't risk it to N5.
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
If I don't die I will kill Salva, I'm not sure about anyone, but Salva dying will give us info on one thing for certain: The fucking item being real or not
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
So, if my math is right, I have less than 33% of hitting scum tonight, and I have 25% of getting NK before N5 if scum goes random.

But maybe this dice is the last hope for this game.
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
So I excluded some users I didn't want to kill and then rolled the dice

Striked *Splinter

Now I'm feeling remorse
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
am ded :p

I though I would die on the first day so I beat my expectation yay! But I was hardly useful at all so :p

Hi turmu~
This was raised in another mentorship chat, but you may edit your posts after the game ended and you may also request for this chat to be kept private. Let me know your preferences? Thanks :) Im asking now so we can prep for when the game does end.... which shouldn't be too long away now... Haha

You see, my original idea was to roleplay, and wee told me there was some good roleplaying there, but is a f'ing graveyard so it wasn't enjoyable and I didn't read it
