you are pulling three things out of context, even though each one of them was perfectly okay in its context.

I find this statement absolutely ridiculous.  silverspawn pulls more stuff out of context than anyone else I know that plays mafia on this forum.  And by that I mean "quotes without giving the hyperlink."  It is too easy to quote with the hyperlink for anyone to quote without it.  Maybe that is just a pet peeve of mine, but quoting without a link is bad.  (IMHO)

WW, I absolutely loved that you had that gif ready to go. 

On a more serious note, we are still doing fine as town.  I agree with WW's last D2 post that Teproc seems pretty townie, and would probably have to do something pretty crazy to flip him to scum in my mind.

Also, I don't really like silverspawn's reaction to the lynch.  Basically blaming WW for not defending himself.  I mean, if you were confident that WW was town, why didn't you defend him more?  It is also a counterproductive discussion that doesn't really look for more scum.

On a different note: WW, are you going to set an early deadline, play until you feel comfortable with a shot, or go the whole 10 days?

if this is the case
it's not entirely unreasonable for scum to be 1-shot lynchproof here.
we will have an interesting situation where scum can claim governor after the fact and try to get away with it.

So no one should bid on the governor unless you need the bulletproof because you want to claim. Or need the protection because you are hated.

Mafia I am not sure how they will decide whether to bid on the governor or not. It does nothing for them so I sort of assume they won't bid on it. They have no way of even knowing if they got it and could lie about it.

I do think we just avoid it unless you need it and if you need it you will probably get it. Mafia definitely won't waste money bidding each round just hoping to stop someone.

This is one side of it. The other is, we can get the Governor, get the player who bought it to lynch, and confirm them as town... I actually think people who are afraid of being mislynch should definitely bid for Governor.

Are you saying that we should put a town member to L because they think they have governor protection?  That is just a terrible idea.  1) no one actually knows who gets governor every day which 2) means we might actually lynch them and 3) it removes the protection from that townie and scum can just kill them that night. 

So basically I don't think anyone should ever claim governor protection.  But if you feel like you will need it, then bid for it.  For example, if you know you are going to be claiming a powerful role on day X, buy governor protection so that you can't get NKed the following night.  Just don't tell people because then scum will just target someone else.

oh, and teproc is voting Axxle2, but given his v/la today I am not really in favor of shooting him.  Let's just shoot him tomorrow if he is scum

oops, forgot to delete hydrad there because he has no votes right now.  The point is, it seems to be between sudgy, xp, and WW (simply because our gunbearer is voting WW).  As per my plan, I am fine with any of those three candidates

For WW it is mostly his jokey posts and generally carefree attitude that I have noticed this game that seems to be different than other games.  This is either the freedom of being town in a game that even if you are lynched you still live and get to do the most fun thing in the game (shoot people) or scum from a fresh perspective that we really haven't seen from WW before. 

Sudgy is a candidate because of his lack of activity.  It has been hard for him to get into the game, and it shows.  I don't know anything that will really fix that, and as long as town lurks, he will be fine even if he is scum.  But finding "nothing at all worth post about" (paraphrase) could easily be scum not wanting to come down hard on anything and therefore just not posting (and getting away with it because of inactive town)

xp is a candidate because of his scummy voting record.  What I said here: - XP voted on each of these wagons.  Several times for some of them.  He is also the only person that left the eevee wagon without returning to it.  I think this is actually somewhat scummy of him.  Basically, dancing around the popular wagons, but when the final vote came in he was not on the scummy one.  (that we know)

So I really think each one of these people have decent enough reasons to be shot, and am totally willing to just leave it up to ADK to decide.  I have my vote on sudgy because he is my first choice between them, but I think it would really help if everyone just voted one of these three then ADK decide (and not necessarily even the largest wagon)

so, how do we start such a game? there is no setup to discuss, and everyone pretty much agreed not to reveal governor overäis. or does someone disagree?

We propose plans. Since ahsersky is not in this game, that's my job.

We should definitely do soft deadlines every day. The three players that have the most votes at the end of the soft deadline should then claim their number of Loans. This way, we ensure not accidentally derphammering when time is short.
I have never really seen soft deadlines work out all that well.  It is a nice concept, and I am willing to try it, but I just don't think it will run as smoothly as you make it sound.

Quote
It should be obvious, but didn't quite work out in previous RMM games: Everyone should think hard about how to best use their power. That might or might not include a plan to claim at some point in the game.
I completely agree here.  This is absolutely critical.  Silverspawn helped us all out by asking about taking loans in his personal qt, then sharing the results with everyone.  In Dune Mafia, one of the biggest things Ashersky talked about in the speccy was the general lack of specific questions regarding the roles/items/etc in personal qts.  Everyone should be asking specific and good questions in their personal qts to make sure then know exactly how their role works.  (PPS)

Yeah, I think that's everything for now. Now go lynch some scum.
sounds good.

For some reason, everybody thinks they can use powers N0.  The Governor is the only thing you can do N0.

well, no one would have been able to be forced to pay any extra coins that they don't have in their supply N0, so I think it is actually impossible for anyone to be hated right now because it is impossible for anyone to have loans.  (I think?)

Couldn't you overpay the governor power if you really wanted it?

I mean, I suppose so, but that doesn't make any sense to become hated for a single day of being lynchproof/NK-proof.  On D1/N1

and telling everyone your bid on governor gives people an idea as to how much money you have in your supply.  Which can be dangerous if there exists some sort of thief role like there was in Dice Mafia.

I think it is giving away too much information to scum.  This is a completely closed setup as far as roles and abilities go, the only thing that we know is the mechanics of buying cards and coins.  And we don't even know all the cards that are available to everyone/if everyone has a unique supply or anything.  I think it is best not to reveal too much too early in an RMM game because it will give scum a better opportunity to take out the more powerful roles sooner.

So my question:  Do we claim our bids for governor or not?  I do not think that we should.

just in case that is one of those "towny" things that give you coins.  I don't actually think posting first is townie or anything, but there are preset things that will give you coins, and I like having money in the bank.

Let us be doing the going.

you just changed my life forever.  what a profound statement.

But really, what does this mean? 

8397
The speculation doesn't seem to be quite as good this time as with previous expansions. It may be because all the best speculators ended up being play testers and are now sworn to secrecy ...
What did the groundless speculation look like last time? I think it only really picked up when the name of the set was announced.

yeah, I mean, we aren't going to see this set for another 6 months at least I would assume.  There is plenty of time for further speculation to get "better"

What we should do:

1) shoot sudgy
2) shoot WW or XP
3) shoot Hydrad if (2) produces scum
4) win

My girlfriend threw an Alice in Wonderland theme Halloween party last night. I was in charge of the "Drink Me" bottles. I had a lot of fun playing with various liquors and cordials. In all I made about a dozen different colored bottles.

I love this too! Theme parties are really fun to throw and attend.

Guys. The apple pie Irish cream is so fantastic, and it's SO SO SO fantastic with a splash of fireball whiskey.

apple pie Irish cream sounds great alone, but adding a shot of fireball?  I have to try it sometime
