I can't believe we are lynching Axxle? He's like the one person I actually have a town read on.
I have to agree with TA here. Why does beyond awesome want to lynch Axxle?

Well, lots of people are voting for him, and the case isn't bad.  I get a town read on Beyond Awesome from it.  I don't think first game scum is going to jump on a late wagon without pretending to have an explanation.

Complete agreement with this.

Huh.

Welcome to mafia, Beyond Awesome. This is your first game, right? FYI your vote puts Axxle at L-1, meaning he's one vote away from being lynched, which is a precarious position to be in because one vote on him will end the day. Because of that it's usually good form to announce when your vote puts someone at L-1.

Yes, this is my first game. How do I do announce that? Do I put in bold that Axxle is at L-1?

Just mentioning it in your post is fine. Also why are you voting for Axxle?

Xeiron, we have some guarantee of balance from mail-mi. So it might not be super balanced but its also not super unbalanced -- so probably like 4-7 scum is a good guess. High number is possible with lots of teams.

 4-7 is a good guess based on statistics, but is not a need for balance. 2 scum could be hard enough if we are dealing with a cult. On the other extreme, 10 or more scum could also be balanced. If everyone had played with their discarded card, it would be 7 town against 9 scum.

We have some guarantee of balance, right. But with 8 possible factions, there cannot be a guarantee that the game is balanced for all of them. Town might be in a hopless situation right from the beginning as long as at least two other factions have good starting positions.

Hey guys, haven't caught up but.

I am at a wedding this weekend so I haven't been on much, and unfortuately I'm on a train with no wifi all day tomorrow. So you might not see much of me. When is deadline? Is my vote desperately needed somewhere? What's this case on Axxle all about?

Jonah


Deadline is wednesday. Still over three days left.

The case on Axxle is that he is someone likely to pick scum over town if given the choice. That is quite significant, since in this game, we actually did pick our own allignent.

I appreciate this as well, since I didn't really understand the case against Axxle.

Except he discarded a Mountebank--which seems like it would be a scum role. It's always possible that he got cards that were both scum roles. But if I wanted to be scum and got a Mountebank, I think I'd keep it, because it seems like it would be a scum role (and it ended up being a scum role). So it seems like the case on Axxle is kind of thin if it's just based off that.

There is the possibility for both Mafia and Town One-Shot Governor in this game. The cards are Nobles (mafia) and Governor (town).

I'm assuming none of these were discarded ? This does mean that Axxle can be counterclaimed here (not that we'd lynch him though, so maybe best to wait for tomorrow).

Not a fan of this, but I guess you'd probably govern here as town, can't take the risk to be hammered...

I find it very strange that you picked either Nobles or Governor over Mountebank though. Didn't want to be scum after all ?

I picked governor since I forgot that we're doing great idea and not a upick on the second go around. Governor sounded like some fun joat/inventor variant  :-[

Well mail-mi changed the vote count accordingly. So I think so.

Yeah. I was going to ask. Is governor a town ability? Or can it also be for scum?
Wait. Nevermind. I took a look at the role list. Now I understand TA's comment.

Hmm. There are so many people playing this game, it's a little hard to keep track. I think Beyond Awesome's vote on Axxle was really scummy.
Teproc brought up my behavior in my first game--and it makes sense to me. I ended up surviving probably way longer than I should have as scum, because people thought that I wouldn't act as scummy as I did.

I'm gonna vote: Beyond Awesome
Also, he never answered or made any elaboration about why he voted for Axxle.

The reason I voted for Axxle was because a lot of people felt he was scum or at least stated as such, so I jumped on the bandwagon prematurely without fully realizing the ramifications of my actions. I see now that my vote could have made me look like scum because it looks like I might have been trying to eliminate a potential towns person. I'm starting to understand the game better where if you are scum you want to convince both scum and towns people to eliminate towns people. I did not fully grasp that concept at first.

I think I buy this. It must have been tough to step into your first game after there had already been quite a bit of development too. I don't really see this post coming from scum.
