makes sense

so... PPS never actually said that his new role doesn't have a posting restriction. He just said that he misunderstood it.

But I'm fine with not lynching him. gkrieg is still good, I found his reaction to pressure, well, scummy for not being towny, basically. I often do get town vibes from people if they are under pressure.

vote: gkrieg

What are you, a pony or a sheep?

I also don't feel great about ash here. Not gkrieg territory in terms of scumminess, but also a valid lynch target.

Turns out I completely misunderstood my role(s). None of it works like I thought it did at all.
I feel pretty stupid about it, too.

This post does not directly address anyone though, so if it's a posting restriction, it's not the one he claimed. And if he has another posting restriction he wasn't aware of, I'd be very surprised if he hasn't broken it already.

I actually am reading up on every role I don't know right now. it's fun.

Can someone explain me why 'alien' and 'JK' are both listed? aren't they the same thing? mafia wiki redirects alien to JK.

Alien is also referring to an alignment, if mafia and Werewolves does not suffice. Also, if you read the Jailkeeper article, you'd find that Alien is a JK variant. Basically a rolestopping JK.

Poor results for Rand Paul after alleged affair

While Super Tuesday has not brought the hoped-for clarity to the Republican presidential race, it has at least seen one loser - Senator Rand Paul has announced that he would drop out of the race after he saw the results. He complained that he has been the victim of a smear campaign.

After lots of turmoil in the Republican presidential race, GOP voters looked to Super Tuesday for a decision. They hardly got what they hoped for: while frontrunner Carly Fiorina kept a certain distance to the rest of the candidates, Jeb Bush's campaign seems to have finally picked off.

One thing however is clear: Rand Paul will not continue his campaign. The last days saw a lot of outrage in the Republican party after pictures have been leaked showing Paul kissing Daily Show correspondent Jessica Williams. Both have repeatedly stated that the images were "clearly photoshopped" and that the two of them had a purely professional relationship. This statement however has not calmed the indignation among conservative voters.

"How can we trust this man to lead America", said contented Mike Huckabee, "when not even his wife can trust him? Instead of keeping the holy vows of marriage, he engages in sexual intimacies with the enemy!"

Paul is married and has three sons.

Teproc has been killed! He was Rand Paul, the Town-aligned Hidden Odd Night Bomb!

I don't even.

So three possible scenarios:

Scenario A: A scum's gambit
scum!PPS wants to be crazy D1 and decides to fakeclaim. We all know that scum!PPS loves a good fakeclaim. Here's the thing - this is a really bad fakeclaim, and anyone who read the setup would have figured that out, and I don't believe a whole scumteam does not read the setup and does not realize this... one person maybe. So this scenario mainly works if PPS is scum alone. Which, uh, we don't even know exists.

Scenario B: Reaction fishing
town!PPS decides to fake some stuff and get reactions to evaluate them. Not unheard of. But this absolutely does not fit with his recent posts... if this was fake, he wouldn't go all "I misread that and am sorry"... except if he's still playing his part, but it doesn't seem like a path you would go when looking for reactions.

Scenario C: The misunderstanding
any-alignment!PPS misreads his role PM and thinks it works as a posting restriction when in fact it doesn't. I assume that can only be the case if he has one of the newly-designed roles, as PPS is a regular enough player to know all the standard stuff and I don't see how one could even misunderstand it like that.

Every one of these scenarios is pretty unlikely, but I think I believe C for now. Which means this doesn't say anything about PPS's alignment. Which means I go back to voting for scummy people.

Vote: gkrieg

Mafia Game Threads / Re: Standardizing "normal" roles

« on: November 02, 2015, 11:24:34 am »

Well, what you say is true, but I don't think we should decide modifier vs non-modifier by asking "is the flavor an adjective or a noun?"

I don't like to think about alignments as role modifiers, really. On one hand, alignment does not change the way the role works. On the other hand, if alignment was a modifier, you could also have no modifier. But you cannot play while having no alignment (except in Bastard I guess?).

Of course it depends on how we want to structure this game... in theory I think it would work to only have one (targetting) role - "Visitor" - and produce every other role by adding modifiers to that.

That was actually a fun read.

Role combinations need some extra work I think. Say someone has two roles, a Roleblocker and a Cop. There are three ways to do such a role:

A) the player always uses both abilities on the same target
B) the player always uses one ability of their choice on a single target
C) the player chooses two targets to be affected by the respective abilities.

For A, I think we need a modifier corresponding to the role. The role would then be a "Roleblocking Cop" (or a "Copping Roleblocker" - these have minor differences in interaction with other roles).
For B, I suggest the phrasing Roleblocker/Cop, the slash indicating that you can only choose one of them, and C would be a Roleblocker Cop.

Side note: the iguana should be more focused on scumhunting and less on lynching RR. Though I believe this is a town trait.

I don't see any post restriction role in the setup. This seems like your typical pingpongsam fakeclaim.

Or, well, you got lynched after someone accused you of not being crazy enough and you reacting with a self-vote. maybe it's not the same.

The new kids are voting me for being crazy and the old guard is voting me for not being crazy enough. And you guys wonder why I'm always ignoring status quo...

My particular role makes this game particularly tough for me. I have a soft post restriction if you haven't noticed. Also self voting would be extremely detrimental for town so you won't be seeing that here. I'm basically playing from timeout.

Vote: pingpongsam

I suppose another outcome would be that someone else scumslips while hopping on the roadrunner lynchwagon, and, let's face it, that's also a very desirable thing for town.

So yeah, I just really see no downside.

I would rather lynch a lurker than someone who may not have the highest amount of content in his posts, but at least does post.

Tell me, iguana: How much site meta do you know? Because it seems like quite a bit.

I see absolutely no reason to answer a question like this. But maybe you can entice me by convincing me why it would be good for town?

Because knowing how much you know about playing mafia here helps us evaluate your play. Which is especially important since we don't know how you play.

Well now that I've seen you flip town, it is easy to spot town!you.

Maybe... but I have not yet gotten the same super townie vibes from RR so far here.

Using "post by: username" in the print screen is still the easiest, and requires no additional usernames.

But the print screen is ugly!
