If I do that I will honor it.

as a data point, while deciding whether or not to play in this game, please consider the fact that i miss you so much

18 people died on day 1. this is incredible

You are getting my first vote when game starts.

assuming we're not teammates

Teammates or not, you got a guaranteed vote because what are the odds that you rand the alignment you called out here lol

the odds are 100% I would never lie to you.

and assuming you haven't fallen in love with me first

Awhere is sloknei

I am basically running with the assumption that there's like a 30% chance I won't be "caught up" til day 4

maybe I did? it seemed to me like they were complaining about the game being complex and having a lot of variables, and then stated that they would rather sign up for a game that wasn't either of those things, but they couldn't because there weren't any.

DkKoba wrote: ↑Sat Jan 02, 2021 3:14 amon glance I think that this setup is really swingy and v complex role interaction wise. Setups like these are better when closed IMO.
I wanted to sign up for a game here but it seems this is the only thing in sign ups but uh, probably will pass until I see a setup I won't want to ragequit.

long con games are notoriously full of intrigue and shenanigans, so i could see how they might scare someone who's only accustomed to playing basic bread and water games.

sad to see you go, but i look forward to playing with you in the future

i've moved past this meme, but I'm surprised at how many people get so pearl clutching-ly offended at having nothing to go on.

If ya'll would grow up and just sharpen your psychic abilities maybe you wouldn't have that problem. RIP, I guess.

fake claiming is always cool and sexy

only cool and handsome people never roleclaim B)

also role claiming is boring and dishonorable so even without the soup kill there is incentive not to claim

so functionally speaking the Scion is just like a football, from the game "Football"

actually only one of those things was a question, sorry

broke my rule and read the roles, i have 3 questions:

What is "the scion"

i am immediately interested in the universe where spiderman is a grandfather and clint barton is his son in law

thank you for including Silk in the game, and also I am amazed at the amount of information and disinformation involved in this game it's going to be a wonderful mess of deception and i'm here for it

i have been mafia once in the last 4 years and i accidentally outed myself at the first given opportunity so i may be a little rusty

hm i see

maybe my town meta would be stronger if I were more actively shady there too

maybe that's what's wrong with my scum meta, maybe I'd be better if I were more actively shady.

so you'll build a case on day 3 and think "this is a mafia sloonei case"

like... on purpose, I mean

how often do you think about your role/alignment/teammates when you're posting?

hm... this has been enlightening to me, i'm not sure what to make of it.

insert hi-5 emoji here

I think if I as a player were fooled by someone using that tactic once I'd be like "haha wow what a cool trick" but the moment someone else tried it or the same person did it twice I'd be definitely tired of it.

also anyone who can go a day or more without reading their role PM is a monster in the first place. No one has that kind of willpower

I thought about it from an outside perspective for like 30 seconds and actually you're 100% right

I agree with basically all of that, except I think annoying or insufferable is also overdoing it. I don't think you'd even be able to tell if it was already happening.

I want to clarify, because sometimes I'm bad at tone on the interne, but I have no negative feelings resulting or causing this conversation I'm actually just interested in your perspective on this because I think some of our core ideas seem to differ.

If someone were to Never read their role PMs at any time in any game obviously that would be a problem

my post got eaten by automatic log out bleh

your thoughts on this topic are valid but not official

standardized rules would risk alienating players crossing over from new communities and stifle the creativity of hosts who want to introduce rule variations

and while this whole idea has been basically a joke from the start, I think disagree with you on principle that it would create an unfair advantage for the person doing it. In the situation you brought up where you roll mafia, it's not exactly 'like you're town' cus you'd still have teammates and everything else, you'd risk being bussed by or bussing, and you risk needing to change your approach toward players once you do eventually check your role pm, all it does is give you help on putting yourself in the mindset of a townsperson, which is something you should already be doing in the first place, at the cost of collusion. From other players it's no better or worse than posting in just emojis.

plus in most games the strategy would only last 48 hours by default. I think calling it "cheating" to not read your role PM is a little hyperbolic

how crazy would it be if mafia had standardized rules

Have you ever not opened your role pm, or is that just a thing you say?

it's a legitimate strategy i've considered several times but i've never had the self control to pull it off

Kylemii wrote: ↑Mon Dec 28, 2020 1:33 am it's also a Bad Strategy

its also cheating and you shouldnt do it. its not a "legitimate" strategy

wow it would be crazy if that was really true lol. can you even imagine. thanks for your input

it's also a Bad Strategy
