Return to “Oblique Strategies - an Eno Mafia [ENDGAME]”
I did notice it, after I died though. That was probably why I noticed tbh.thellama73 wrote:The other locations were each assigned to one of the animals, whose night power was doubled while there (the animal in question was mentioned in each host post, but no one seemed to pick up on this.)
Being the only animal that did not claim, I can tell you that going against the strategy didn't work either.S~V~S wrote:Yeah, but we would have to trust everyone to make it work, and that could NOT work, you know? The main losers would be the animals if someone chose to break the plan, we were vulnerable & sitting ducks. Once too many people became enamored of the plan, it would have been impossible to change direction.MovingPictures07 wrote:Well, I personally loved the idea of "breaking" the conventions of mafia by enabling everyone to win, but I figured some would be against it.
I am shocked though that the possibility for INH's plan slipped by Logan, haha. I thought for sure he had intended it this way.
Awesome game, Llama, thanks for it!
I was just trying to have fun while still ultimately going with the suggested strategy.juliets wrote:ditto for me Snow Dog! I can't help but feel bad for the animals - the plan if followed would have allowed them to win too. Vompatti did you know metalmarsh was an animal when you killed him? Also, did you know inh was the other killer when you tried to kill him but he was already dead? I'm surprised there was no conversation about why inh died but didn't seem to be killed by anyone (his action was reflected back to him because that was splint's power). llama I thoroughly enjoyed myself and thanks for being such a considerate host, posts always on time or a warning when they couldn't be, prompt replies to night actions, and fun in bts.
Sorry fellow animals I cost us a win on this one.Let's hold hands while we await our fate.insertnamehere wrote:why vomps why

Mountains are (typically) covered in snow and ice. If you walk on it with your bare feet, you can risk frostbite or severe frost burns. Also, the less dense air on a mountain filters less UV radiation, and the snow and ice reflect it, quickly causing very severe sunburn for the unprepared hiker.Vompatti wrote:I find that hard to believe.Metalmarsh89 wrote:You can do that on a mountain too.Vompatti wrote:You can burn your feet and get skin cancer at the beach.

I done goofed. Go ahead and cook me in stew you silly person.

Funny you say that. I just got back from seeing Steve Hackett live in Seattle, and they indeed performed Supper's Ready.thellama73 wrote: “Supper’s ready!” said Metalmarsh.
I take offense to that!Dom wrote:I will admit to using a rather benign night ability for good reason.Roxy wrote:Even though we are not supposed to use our abilities at night someone did and has completely affected the way I felt about inh.
I do not want another Animal outed until the Fellas and Gals have all been outed first - seems like a fair request if you want others to play along.
I did not target you.

You should start hunting for baddies then.juliets wrote:This game is starting to make me feel bad. I don't want to ruin llamas game nor do I want SVS to feel like she doesn't want to play either. On the other hand, I can't think of any better strategy and i can't escape that if it works we all win. So, i will probably reluctantly vote for SVS tomorrow. I'm sorry SVS.
If only I wasn't roleblocked, you'd be dead alr... WAIT! That's not what I meant to say!!S~V~S wrote:I am OK volunteering to be lynched.
Interesting observation there.triceratopzeuhl wrote:are metalmarshes' self-votes an admission that they are an animal, or just an admission that they are trying to ruin the game for the rest of us? I would assume that only people interested in winning would want to play mafia (if they are sane unlike voopy), so one would only put themselves up for death if they could still win. Reasonable assumptions?

I wanted to go to Tiger Mountain before it was popular.juliets wrote:Ok I will go with the mainstream and vote Tiger Mountain in honor of the animals.

Sure let's fill ourselves up. We are over Fire Island, it shan't be hard to cook him.triceratopzeuhl wrote:So the important question we are all forgetting about, here... Do we get to eat sockalex now?
Or you could kill him, but then you'd have to eat him. He would want that.insertnamehere wrote:Just accept that you probably never will, and move on.

I am Newt (well actually a marmot) and I approve this message.S~V~S wrote:OK, I think that "winning" by not sending in night actions and volunteering to be lynched is not really *winning*, or even playing, tbh. If i wanted to trust y'all, I would not be playing Mafia.
So I am gonna say I am an animal, and volunteer to be the next sacrifice.
We are indeed very good at that.S~V~S wrote:Sometimes I think you and I speak different languages; you always seem to misconstrue my meaning (and I know I have done so with you, as well).Metalmarsh89 wrote:But if six animals and one fella die, the poor animals lose.S~V~S wrote:Unless he's a fellaMetalmarsh89 wrote:
And again, this beautiful llama you see in your dreams is not a reality. Read the Day 1 post. Your strategy is in big trouble if a player or two are modkilled.
That's not a risk I'm willing to take. The Animal Sanctuary Squad should agree with this.
What I meant here was that if INH is a fella, he won't care if the plan fails. If it works, yay, we all win. If it doesn't, yet for the fellas, some animals are dead. Volunteering for the slaughter, yet. So if he is a fella, he would not care if his strategy works or not.
That was the blue pill mate.Snow Dog wrote:Voted MP
Down with those that didn't.

And he spit in your face. That is what llamas do.insertnamehere wrote:I'm an ordinary man, Metalmarsh, meat and potatoes, I live in the real world. I'm not a big believer in magic. But this game is different. It's special. The others don't want to talk about it because it scares them. But we all know it. We all feel it. Is this dream of harmony impossible? Probably. But what if everything that happened here, happened for a reason? What if we can all win? Even if it is impossible, let's say it's not… I don't know. But I've looked into the eyes of Llama.

I've chosen the path of cynic this game. Forgive me.insertnamehere wrote:Just this once, optimism can beat out cynicism, and everyone wins.
Would this still be your favorite if everyone agreed with you and followed through?insertnamehere wrote:Mafia. A game based around people being self-serving and distrustful, and eliminating others in order to win.Metalmarsh89 wrote:It sure does. It is clearly a quite popular and accessible strategy.MovingPictures07 wrote:No one has an incentive to lie, though.
Like I said, assuming every player wants to win, the plan makes the most sense.
But unfortunately, I just don't feel like doing things the mainstream way. Brian Eno wouldn't want this.
Oblique Strategies - an Eno Mafia. A game where everyone can win if they completely set aside all familiar notions of how to play mafia. A game where everyone can win if they just trust other people.
This is the most anti-status quo game I've ever played, and is probably one of my favorite concepts for mafia ever.
