Also if someone town has any object that is metal that they may pierce through themselves (like earring) - just don't do it (or put it off if you already had one on). Never a good idea in Mistborn universe

Is that what "burning" metal is? I've been on the Mistborn wiki and it wasn't really clear.

That's different.
In the Mistborn universe, there are special people that can swallow different types of metals and "burn" them--basically use them up in their stomach in order to use different abilities. There are a bunch of different abilities (like 16 depending on which ones you count). Mistborn have all of them and can "burn" all metals and consequently have all the abilities.

Then, there are other people (like steel inquisitors and others) that get power through metal spikes that pierce their bodies. However, there are some serious drawbacks to this. I don't want to spoil anything for people who haven't read the books though. So suffice it to say that having metal (not any metal, it has to be treated in a special fashion) stuck through any part of your body is generally really, really bad.

What's the name of the first book in this series? I want to pick it up, maybe e-book it.

I haven't read anything - just letting you know I'm here.  I didn't expect the game to start so quickly!

[Ichimaru Gin]

Actually Mistborn: The Final Empire--but I rarely here people call it that.

vote: EFHW because I never tunneled you before

[gkrieg13]

If the main character of the books is female, then EFHW must be town 

[EFHW]

Ok, I'm caught up.  First social things - Hydrad, it's good to see you again too!  I believe we are even now - I won as scum with you as town and then you won as scum with me town.  Maybe this time we'll actually be on the same side! 

Umbrage - You're back!  We were all so sad when you disappeared.  You got MPV in Harry Potter, btw

TA - Good to see you again after a long time, too.  What day should we have our argument?

chairs - I didn't know you had a baby!  Have you posted any pictures?

silverspawn - I don't think I've ever tunneled you before either, hmmmm

gkrieg13, hockeysemian - I've never played with you before, but I like your thinking gkrieg! Welcome to Mafia.  Is this a first game for either of you?

Everyone else - Hi! 

[chairs]

EFHW - I have quite a few on Facebook, if you want I can PM you data on friending me there (most of the Mafia regulars have me friended already).

[EFHW]

Now mafia-stuff. 

I don't think town!chairs would fake a townslip.  I can imagine scum!chairs maybe doing that.  But there's always a couple people who didn't read the flavor, so I'm inclined to agree with whoever it was said that the accusers are more likely scum than the town-slipper. looking that up ... silverspawn!

re: XP, I saw that post as role-fishing, not bread-crumbing.

Completely disagree with Seprix that gkrieg revealed anything at all about his role. I also completely disagree with town players pointing out role-slips.  Just compounds the damage.

I know nothing of the flavor, but might kindle it.  I kick myself every day for not knowing the flavor in Dr. Who (which subsequently became my favorite show until I had them all practically memorized).

and please be forewarned that "I was just looking for reactions" will not count as any kind of explanation for me.

obv!scum, you're next.

hah. I actually read neither the flavor nor the setup at this point... doing it now.

Yeah, I meant set-up not flavor. 

[Seprix]

We don't know. It's a meticulously set up game, so it's probably fair.

[silverspawn]

Well, there isn't much there, actually.

Welcome to Mistborn Mafia, a Role Madness Mafia (RMM) game by ashersky. Please read this post carefully before the game begins.

cough cough

Lynch rules vary by the number of players alive.  With 10 or more players alive, the player with the most votes at the end of the day will be lynched.  Ties are broken by coin flip.  With nine or less players alive, if a majority lynch is not reached by the deadline, no lynch occurs.

This is kind of interesting. Does this tell us something about the setup? Are no-lynches impossible because they would be good for town early on? Because we have these kinds of powers? Or is it simply to not have the game drag out for too long.

Also, auto prods. Lurking is literally forbidden by the setup, so we won't have to talk about that.

And days get longer... and then shorter. Huh.

[silverspawn]

Also, only 7 day deadlines in the beginning.

Well, I think we should try to have majority lynches, for sure, rather than letting whoever has the most die at the end.

EFHW's point about looking at people who fight town slips is good. I usually share that line of thinking.

vote: Seprix for being jokey and having easy to fabricate posts.

[UmbrageOfSnow]

Umbrage - You're back!  We were all so sad when you disappeared.  You got MPV in Harry Potter, btw

Liopoil told me, and thanks!  Yeah I felt so damn guilty about disappearing.  My life went completely to shit for a while, and honestly it's been back to normal for a while but I was just feeling so guilty I had a hard time logging on to f.ds.

Anyway, I'm done whining about this, I'm glad to be back.

On topic: Yeah I've come around to believing that it could be a real townslip.  I still think it could be a fake townslip too, but the possibilities are about equal and it says nothing in my opinion.

Yes, I don't think I've ever heard of anyone saying "breadcrumbing" as the start of laying an actual breadcrumb.  It's interesting that he was in a scum game where something like that was done for towncred.  Not sure I see the rolefishing thing, care to elaborate?

@SS: I don't believe the voting rules tell us anything about the setup, I believe they're there to prevent early day stalling in a large game like this.  I don't know anything about the flavor, but I'm pretty sure no-lynches would still be bad for town by basic math, unless there is a pretty severe level of madness to this role madness.  I think it's just Ash trying to mod an active game, and I like it.

We absolutely need to have majority lynches, but we can also use this as a way to make it harder for scum to get away with "well, I guess we need to reach a lynch" votes.

And I really am gone for the night, and possibly the weekend now.  For reals.

[chairs]

well my town reads are vote: seprix and he's really digging into the "chairs fabricated that slip" narrative angle which I don't care for because I didn't even realize it was a slip until after I'd posted.
