Huh.. I was going to hammer once I'd done more thinking, but I guess PPS had a prior claim on intent.

I'd still like to work out whether I agree with JR's claiming plans, if people are still here and talking into twilight...

So that Calamitas at least has a chance to not die depending on said claim!

But did you not read what I wrote about claiming in this setup? It's like actively bad for town.
I didn't read it, no. But if Calamitas was a cop and he didn't claim and we lynched him, how could that be worse than him claiming and getting killed tonight?

It's worse. In the latter scenario, we force the scum to spend a night kill on the cop, at least.  Doing it for them essentially saves them a needed move.

I know, that's the point. J Reggie is incorrect, claiming in this setup is not actively bad for town

FWIW, I think Calamitas is more likely to claim some power there if he's scum--at least, that was pretty standard in my day. What does he have to lose? He might out a town PR if someone is forced to counterclaim.

He didn't, which makes me pretty uneasy about this lynch... but at least we are only lynching a VT, and have protected our town PRs. And I suppose it would have been impossible to get another lynch anyway.

So... flip!

I read that, but didn't actually feel convinced by it. If we lynch someone who flips as one of the "extra" scum, why is it worth the corresponding PR claiming, when that just makes them an NK target?

What I'm saying is people should not claim if a) they don't have results and b) the corresponding scum PR hasn't flipped. Of neither of those things are true, don't claim even at L-1. Unless you're the cop because there's always a cop.

I think it's become increasingly common for scum to claim VT.

Once you start collecting, well, you gotta collect them all.

I apologize that I was absent last night. I had to clean up the broken wing that was made entirely of glass. 15 acres of broken glass, that I had to clean up myself.

But no, I didn't need any help, thanks for asking.


SpaceAnemone has been killed! They were Rick, the Adventure Sphere!

Day 2 begins now and ends on November 1st at 2:00 PM FT.

Hmm...

Well, here's something.

Currently living players voting for someone other than the lynch: Silverspawn
Voted for no one: McGarnacle, RR
Wagon: Robz, LaLight, schadd, Jake, Haddock, J Reggie, PPS

How many scum do we think were off wagon? Because there aren't very many still-living players there in total. Like, Silverspawn is the only person who voted for someone other than Calamtias at day's close.

That's the flavor name for the Tracker. So we know there's a Tracker. Consequently, we know there's a 1-shot Ninja.

Re: M87: Portal Mafia (Signups Open!)
« Reply #545 on: October 22, 2016, 02:30:15 pm »

Um, you didn't read this yet? That's not a good sign.

WIFOM is a Semi-Open Original setup for 13 players. It's designed to eliminate towncred given to players who claim power roles and to show how WIFOM can be a powerful tool for both Town and Scum.

The "base" setup is as follows:

Quote

3 Mafia:

Anger Core (Goon)
Turret (Goon)
Cave Johnson (1-shot Psychotrooper)

10 Town:

Chell (1-shot Commuting Innocent Child)
Curiosity Core (3-shot Alignment Cop)
8 Vanilla Cores (Vanilla Townies)

Pregame, 0-5 Modifications will be made to the above setup. Each Modification has a 50% chance of being present. They will alter the setup by adding more power roles to both the Town and the Mafia:

Modification 1:

Anger Core -> 2-shot Roleblocker

Vanilla Townie -> Intelligence Core (Doctor)


Modification 2:

Anger Core -> Flavor Cop

Vanilla Townie -> Wheatley (Roleblocker)


Modification 3:

Turret -> 2-shot Rolestopper

Vanilla Townie -> Doug Rattmann (Watcher)


Modification 4:
Turret -> 1-shot Ninja

Vanilla Townie -> Rick, the Adventure Core (Tracker)


Modification 5:
Cave Johnson -> Cop Enabler

Vanilla Townie -> Space Core (Universal Backup)


Here's what the setup looks like when ALL the Modifications are present:
Quote
3 Mafia:
Anger Core: Flavor Copping 2-shot Roleblocker
Turret: 2-shot Rolestopping 1-shot Ninja
Cave Johnson: Cop Enabling 1-shot Psychotrooper

10 Town:
Chell: 1-shot Commuting Innocent Child
Curiosity Core: 3-shot Alignment Cop
Rick, the Adventure Sphere: Tracker
Doug Rattmann: Watcher
Intelligence Core: Doctor
Wheatley: Roleblocker
Space Core: Universal Backup
3 Vanilla Cores

Mechanics:

- When players die, only their Flavor Name and Alignment will be revealed.
- Mafia cannot complete the factional kill and use a power in the same night.
- Rolestopping resolves before Town!Roleblocking which resolves before Mafia!Roleblocking

Role Clarifications:
- 1-shot Psychotrooper is an Active power. The night they choose to use it, the Alignment Cop will get the opposite result for their investigation (Scum instead of Town and Town instead of Scum).
- Investigative powers receive "No Result" if their action was blocked in any way.
- When the Cop Enabler dies, all Alignment Cop Investigations return "No Result"
- Flavor Cop is told their target's Flavor Name. If both are present, it is used in conjuction with Roleblocking. However, the Anger Core does not have to Roleblock when they Flavor Cop, and they can still Flavor Cop when out of Roleblocking shots.
- Ninja can be used to modify the user's Factional Kill or Rolestopping
- Rolestopping doesn't stop Kills
- The Universal Backup inherit the first Town Power Role that dies. A Town PR with 0-shots left (if they are an X-shot Role) does not count for UB inheritance. The Innocent Child's 1-shot Commuter can be inherited by the UB.

Here is the Vanilla Core PM:

Quote


Remember before when I was talking about smelly garbage standing around being useless? That was a metaphor. I was actually talking about you.

You are a Vanilla Core. You are a useless piece of whirring machinery that can't actually do anything, including be killed by my neurotoxin. I'm frankly surprised you can even speak.

Please /confirm by replying to this message.

Town Wincon: You win once all the mafia are dead.
Mafia Wincon: You win once the mafia controls half the town, or nothing can stop this from happening.

for a while i thought that 3 scums would've had to be on it, or at least it would've been easy to manipulate somehow, because it was sort of hurried and close to the deadline (and that was sort of my motivation for voting calam), but eventually everyone did weigh in on it (except mcgarnacle i think). so i dunno. gonna reread space
