I wouldn't mind having them for my games, assuming there are no rezzed.

Also, rezz please

Yeah, resurrections are completely incompatible with spectator chats for sure.

I realized I won't be able to have a spectator chat for Pikmin since there is potential for resurrection there... otherwise, I definitely will be utilizing them in whatever non-resurrection games I host.

Good to see you too! Remember that time you got married? Great times.

I do!

Golden wrote:Rezz possibility is only incompatible with dead players being allowed into spectator chat. It depends what the demand for it is, but I would never object to non-players having a chat room, even in games where dead players weren't allowed to attend.

That's true.

Mongoose! Good to see you!

Any host who wants a spectator chat can get one.

With the cop dead, who will win?

Zebra actually is female; I had to clarify that with her. She recently has identified as being female, but this is in contrast with years previous, hence the confusion.

I'm aware of the fake peek notion. The thing is, this is not the community for fake peeks. People here are too used to playing for their own win. They're not used to playing for the team's win.

I feel as though this is part of the reason civilians have had a hard time winning larger games on this site, and it's something I'm actively trying to combat in games that I play going forward.

Thanks for that discussion, Jay! That's precisely what I was hoping for.

Over time, it'll be interesting to see whether players will start experimenting with that strategy now that we're running the Champions-style setup.

S~V~S wrote:I think it depends on the win conditions. If i am a civ that wins dead or alive, i am more of a team player. But if I have to be alive to win, yeah, I would have to agree with you. The place most of the Syndicate homgrowns came from had rules that said you had to be alive to win. That led to our culture being self centered for the most part, i think.

That is why i have civs win dead or alive with their team in every game I hosted. I think it gives the civs more ways to fles their group muscles.

I'm always doing this in future games. No if's, and's, or but's about it.

Did they?

You'll find out at postgame, since I'll make their BTSC public to everyone then.

So you're saying I was obvious?

I'm not saying anything.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Town's win probability plummets when the cop dies this early. Will the townies attempt to find her peek?

I'm surprised they aren't.

Talk to me about fake peeks. This is something I feel the players definitely should have employed here, but many of them could be unaware of that strategy completely.

Indeed, she was taken out way too soon.

Seems we have a vote for a2thezebra and a vote for DrWilgy in terms of mafia NK predictions.

Any other guesses before the Night ends (about 8 hours)?

Tough luck, Brian, you certainly tried. I know how it is to exit a game really quickly. It sucks.

Glad to have you here in the spectator chat though.

Night 1 opinion poll is up.

Day 1: Who do YOU think should be lynched?

I'll protect you. Us rainbow listers gotta stick together.

Anyone want to make a Day 1 rainbow list before EoD?

:P

S~V~S wrote:This is better in a thread than in a Chatzy.

Good to hear.

I'm liking it too! On reflection, I really wish I had done it this way for Talking Heads, and I would have if I'd known I could have figured out these nasty permissions, but that's okay. Chatzy was a good experiment too. I'll definitely be holding spectator chats in all of my games going forward, and it will be via the thread like this.

S~V~S wrote:As a tone reader, I always have problems with her. She always sounds very take charge to me, which I tend to equate with baddieness, kind of like steering.

It is something I have to get past, a fault with me.

No wonder we had trouble reading each other for so long.

Ricochet wrote:Also, lol, it seems one can't edit his posts in a spectating thread either.

No shenanigans, mister.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:No lynches are almost never a pro-town decision.

Agreed, your logic stands up to my evaluation, and I had the experience seeing you all discuss the option in RYM games, so I wanted to include it here. All a "NO LYNCH" does is move Day 1 to Day 2 and give the mafia a "Night 0" kill of sorts to start the game, before any information can be disseminated into the thread. At least a civilian lynch provides information.

Since most of these players hadn't played with that option before, I wanted to see how it would go down.

Ricochet wrote:How fast do you want me to do reads on every player?

ASAP.

Golden wrote:Are votes changeable?

In the game thread? Yes.
In here? Yes.

They should be anyway. If they aren't, re: here, let me know. Fancy new subforum and stuff, so permissions may not be perfect.

Added a poll for fun.

This is pretty awesome. I can't believe I figured out this permissions stuff. SO STOKED RIGHT NOW.

I derped the OT spectator posting rule before it was rescinded. Oh well, it should be a fun game.

I posted "First"!!! And I was first!!! And MP deleted it!!!

lol, you and me both, in other words, JJ.

Grats on that awesome TH performance, btw.

Yeah... I should have known people would post off-topic anyway. Never trying that rule again unless I absolutely have to.

Yay, it works! I added Golden manually, but I haven't added anyone else, so it must be working.

Lol, don't worry about that, I was just experimenting with the new rule. It just wouldn't be the same without off-topic deadie and non-player posting though.

Hello, spectators!

This is your Pet Sounds Mafia: Spectator Chat. Discuss the game as much as you wish!
