Someone who watches the show could weigh in. I assumed no cult mechanic because I figured faust would have mentioned such a thing in the "how zombies  work"  post and he didn't.

Is it really a cult mechanic if it doesn't affect alignment?

[MiX]

The win condition for mafia is this:

You win when, at the start of a Day, a majority of living players is aligned with your factions, or nothing can stop that from happening.

Also this caught my eye. "Factions"

joth, how does the flavor explain this?

I don't know anything about flavor! Never seen the show.

RVS talk aside, do we really lose anything from claiming who's human and who's zombie? There's probably some abilities that turn humans into zombies, or vice-versa, and hiding when those changes happen might be good, but I can't tell how bad it is if we all just claimed our initial status. What does everyone else think?

I was thinking this too. Doesn't the main character of the show solve crimes by eating brains? So she might need to know who zombies and humans are to be an effective cop.

But also, it's a faust setup. He's usually pretty good at thinking through and making mass claims punishing for town.

Scumslip.

Scum zombies are a liability for them because "going Romero" hurts them more than a town!zombie death hurts us. If we had a claim, town!zombies should all claim human, hoping scum tries to eat them, and humans should claim zombie to avoid being eaten. Meaning a zombie/human claim would be very hard to trust.

I don't know, sounds contradictory to me. If joth had done that he would've said so earlier.

That looks like a typo to me.

Can any scum confirm they got this or the corrected version? It would help us in the long run I think.

faust, can you please confirm if this is the typo?

[A Drowned Kernel]

Also, zombies can only eat human brains! So the expected number of brains per night also needs to be modified by the chance that the kill was not a zombie. And we don't know that unless we know the thing we're trying to figure out, the number of zombies. The more zombies there are, the fewer brains there are to go around.

I don't know if there factors in to your planning at all but it was established pregame that people will flip with their zombie/human status

[A Drowned Kernel]

The setup also mentions powers that only work while a player is a human or zombie so I assume there's a way to turn from one to the other

Well I can stop playing now, clearly I won.

Hold up, zombies aren't the bad guys??

[MiX]

+0.5 if you are not town-aligned

Not necessarily. Actually, who are the bad guys?

[WestCoastDidds]

MiX- that was a good joke +1

ADK- I think you are right. In lots of the zombie oeuvre people get turned into zombies after being attacked by a zombie. I assume there is some way that people become zombies.

Shraeye- If zombies are scum, they know who the other zombies are and can coordinate who to eat. The complicated system to see who gets eating preference suggests that the zombies are not known to each other. So I assume the zombies are not scum.

Joth- I hope you have a super fun birthday weekend with the wife and properly fete the new decade that she is beginning. Good times!

EFHW/Glooble- the puzzle job is the envy of everyone! I’d like to be a tester!

I promise you its less exciting than it sounds.

Today is the annual warehouse sale though, and I just did my shift working register, so that was a nice change of pace.

Yes, sorry, this was a typo. I'll fix it.

I've decided that zombies claiming is bad. Let's not do it

I watched a trailer once and remembered the basic premise. MiX is really grasping those straws.

Faust mentions in the setup that a player’s status as human/zombie *may* change throughout the course of the game. Given that he took the time to mention that (and, like, how zombies work) I’d guess that humans can turn into zombies but not vice versa, unless anyone who knows the flavor of the show knows of a way that could happen.

Can you elaborate on why you think it's not possible (or not likely) for zombies to be able to turn into humans?

Only flavor reasons -  I can’t think of any media with zombies in it where they could turn back into humans, but maybe this show is different
