Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day One
Or maybe I drew a Cylon card, and know I'm civvie, so I want to bring up the possibility of humans being mafia.Matt wrote:Dude, please start talking to me like I'm a third grader cuz that's basically my mental capacity, k thanks.Ricochet wrote:I think that human non-cylons being Mafia merely because there were conflicting stories and antagonists within the human universe of the show would be a stretch in the current balance we're supposedly dealing with.
Why is the humans v cylons separation of roles unsatisfying for you on a civs vs mafia level?
Anyway, nowhere in the roles does it say civs or mafia, and I think that's interesting. It seems like Golden is a big fan of the show, so I can definitely imagine a mafia team perhaps consisting of only humans, tbh.
The only definite Mafia Cylon I could name would be Number One, John.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day One
Some clarifications about Dee's role (and Cottle's):Long Con wrote:So, should Dee just use this ability every night, until it triggers and saves a human? It's like a guaranteed save for the first Civvie to die at night, right? Host: would we get to know the identity of the saved player? Or would Dee? I guess that goes for Doctor saves as well. Looking over my post before posting, I suppose this could fail to save a Civvie IF the Final Five are town-aligned. But then it wouldn't be used up either.Anastasia 'Dee' Dualla - Dee is the voice people hear on the other end of the line, as she is the one who relays the Admirals orders to the viper pilots as they fight. Her voice brings them home. Once in the game, Dee can PM the host during a night phase and stop any human death during that night. If Dee attempts to use this ability unsuccessfully (that is, she does not prevent any human kill that night), she retains the ability until she uses it successfully.
1) It will save a member of the final five, regardless of whether or not they know they are a member of the final five. It works on anyone labelled a 'human' in the game roles. It may work on the secret role if the secret role is a human and not a cylon.
2) No person will know the identity of a saved person. This includes Cottle saving anyone.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day One
Overall, I'm going to sum up Matt's current theories as one of the following:
a) knowing or extrapolating something, likely from his role, that I don't or can't, as per fraking usual
b) Matttalk

2. OK, maybe that works for you. If someone told me I was incapable of change, it would be very insulting to me. I guess I'm just putting my own lens on what you said. But, really, I would not accept someone who told me I couldn't convincingly play a game of strategy with them.
more power to you. silver knows that what i say is praise to her. shes out atm but i know when she catches up she will clarify a lot of what is under your lens vs what we see

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day One
I had this pulled to reply to, though someone else has already replied w/something similar to my thoughts. From what Golden posted, it is possible that all 8 don't start with BTSC. (All conjecture at this point, as per Golden, but it's fun, innit?) Also, on the show, there was occasionally dissent amongst the toasters. So maybe that may be an issue their team will have to deal with, I don't know.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Given that the toasters are divided into two colors like the humans, does anyone think we should be perceiving them as separate toaster teams? I ask because eight seems like a huge number for just one team.
Also, what about the non-humanoid toasters? Could the Secret be about that? I do not know a lot of the things I would like to know. But, that is life, mon ami.
Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day One
This is kind of tricky because I don't want to spoil the show for anyone who hasn't seen it, but whatevs...
How come you can't see Felix as a member of a Mafia team then, Rico?

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day One
You always find my unwillingness towards your theories strange, it's part of who you are. I never disagreed with the likelyhood of the concept of humans switching to mafia, but for me the biggest odds on that deal with the Final Five. Which you're telling me to frakin' leave aside, simply because Zarek was a bad bully and Gaeta turned mutinous in the show.Matt wrote:I find your unwillingness to agree that it's possible some humans could be mafia...is strange.

I think keeping track of who forgets to do so could potentially prove helpful, just to see if there are consequences and/or what they might be. Unless they are made public by Admiral Golden.

So say we all.
As long as I'm playing catch-up, I'm just going to post that line every time I post just in case.
Sorry for not helping with the cipher puzzle. I made my fake-out Joker meme post and then my wife wanted to watch another episode of The People v. OJ Simpson while we still get it On Demand. After OJ, our four-year-old woke up crying because she peed the bed. After dealing with that, we were both tired. With tired eyes, tired minds, tired souls, we slept.
I'm up to page 8 but the baby needs her bottle. This game starting on a weekend means I'm going to be a ghost for the most part. The admiral jumping the fleet mechanic is going to drive my spreadsheet crazy but I shall persevere.

So you agree then that it's possible Felix or Zarek (and less likely, Gaius) could be Mafia then? I was just curious why you seemed to be against that option earlier.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day One
I'm camping this weekend and the Internet is spotty. I was able to at least catch up but it took forever so now my phone battery is drained. Will try to stop by again later tonight and give some thoughts ahead of the vote, but honestly my lack of BG knowledge is making me feel lost. I had the impression that the cylons were the bad guys as they are the second group of characters, but then someone was saying back that people might not know if they are a bad guy? So are the cylons not the mafia? So confused.
Anyway, going swim in a water fall now. Check in later.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day One
Ok, then. I guess it's close to how Matt projected it. Cylons, as they appear, may in fact be (or grow?) divided and split allegiances, some of the humans may turn out to be treacherous, and the Final Five will probably be a mixed bag of Cylons who might stick with the human cause and those who might turn against (or grow indifferent and thus have indy value).
Matt is either a role with description or powers that allowed him to form such deductions or a role with a contradictory allegiance compared to how that role appears on the list, taunting us as one of the human roles he so much claims to be potential traitors or rather a Cylon trying to change the perception of the thread and maybe earn clemency.

I've also seen the show and it took roughly two seasons for things to get deeply nuanced between the basic human-cylon war, especially including the three human names you keep bringing up.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day One
Simply based on you fretting so much to open the public's eye to this plausible perspective, I'd slightly rank the odds as: 1) Cylon trying to earn clemency, 2) Matt trying to frak with us for the umpteenth time, 3) human or Cylon who might have the win con of giving no fucks who wins between the two sides, 4) basic human whose role allowed him to discern or infer some things about how things might shape up.Matt wrote:Ummm okay.Ricochet wrote:I've also seen the show and it took roughly two seasons for things to get deeply nuanced between the basic human-cylon war, especially including the three human names you keep bringing up. I'm sorry for sounding more like Epignosis and expecting at least some shred of basic good-evil clear factional antagonism, instead of predicting total design mindfrakkery.Matt wrote:Or I've seen the show.Ricochet wrote:Ok, then. I guess it's close to how Matt projected it. Cylons, as they appear, may in fact be (or grow?) divided and split allegiances, some of the humans may turn out to be treacherous, and the Final Five will probably be a mixed bag of Cylons who might stick with the human cause and those who might turn against (or grow indifferent and thus have indy value).
Matt is either a role with description or powers that allowed him to form such deductions or a role with a contradictory allegiance compared to how that role appears on the list, taunting us as one of the human roles he so much claims to be potential traitors or rather a Cylon trying to change the perception of the thread and maybe earn clemency.
Derp.
Also no, you're one of the things I mentioned.
G2H am I a human fighting for the Cylons or a Cylon looking to kick some toaster ass? In your faulty opinion, of course.
Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day One
Lol juliets. Small ping, mind you, but I always come up with shit like that and am almost always wrong.
Rico - I laughed at option 2.
Also, none of those descriptions fit my role but mmmkay.

Thanks SVS for providing the reasoning.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day One
Also, Rico...
I don't think your view on how you thought the set up was actually hinders your ability to scum hunt. I just didn't like how you were not open to the possibility of my idea, especially given that you've seen the show, apparently know quite a bit about it yourself, but didn't agree that humans could also be mafia.
Anyway, given Golden's shrug response to you, I believe you're right and I hit the nail on the head. This means that it's possible Dee will protect a mafia with her one use protect a human power...so use it wisely, Dee

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day One
Also, given that it's very possible humans could be mafia, slight scum read on Long Con for suggesting Dee use her power every single night until it's used up.
Can you imagine? LC brings that idea up. Dee follows through. Mafia hopes that Dee goes along with this, targets one of their own Night 1, and BOOM, skates the rest of the game.

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - Day One
Oh reading back I see Rico already answered. I started watching the show, and thought I missed some backstory, and find there was a mini series. So I am pretty much in the dark, too.
But the host says we don't NEED to know canon,but it helps. So say we all.

OK, I feel really stupid now. What is the connection? How does this imply consequences in an event?Polo wrote:There is in fact mention of consequence; read the roles again:S~V~S wrote:Re puzzle solvers: Civvies or cred seekers. Golden said there were limited chances to solve and time limits. I would guess that would mean negative consequences for NOT solving since I don't see positive results for having solved it (unless the puzzle solvers got something not publicized in thread). His initial post doesn't mention consequence or reward.
I don't doubt baddies would white knight on the puzzle solving for cred to the point of solving it; I have seen people, notably aapje, doing this in the past. Especially if you are someone people expect it of. So I won't give people special cred for doing it BUT with no mention of consequences, I don't see a motivation for Scotty or polo specifically to do it since their puzzleyness is unknown to most of us. I would not expect it of them, so I would not have noticed it had they not.Golden wrote:A message has been intercepted which may help us be rid of the cylons. However, little can be read.

Of course, we all know Galen Tyrol is alive and kicking, but we all need to be used to the solving these puzzles because Galen Tyrol may die any die and the only way we could be able to save our butts could be to solve these things.Golden wrote:
Galen Tyrol – Tyrol is the chief mechanic on board Galactica. Periodically, Galactica will come under Cylon attack. As long as Tyrol is alive, he will hold Galactica together and attacks will have no effect. If Tyrol is dead, however, Cylon attacks on Galactica have a chance of causing the death of an occupant on the Galactica, and a small chance of causing the destruction of Galactica and everyone on board.
Better to get used to it now than later!

Re: Battlestar Galactica Mafia - 33
If one presumes anything other than that I don't intend for clarity out of my shrugs, you are probably doing it wrong. The best presumption is that I hoped the game would throw up these discussions, regardless of the truth of game setup, and it's much more interesting for me to watch exploration of what the game might be than to give you any hint of what it is.
