The Syndicate

In this case the poll is worded for travel; we're literally visitng a realm. In that regard the flavor might be awkward alongside my theory. That these visitations occur in a specific order though suggests to me that we'll find our way to each of them eventually. In the event that this somehow provides a benefit to the Outworld, it may be better still to ensure that is covered earlier than later.

there was this pokemon mafia game on hedville a million years ago where the day 0 poll was to decide which city gym to go to first, the different gym choices all corresponded to certain advantages that would be given to certain roles, but it ended up being super obvious which players were which role because of which option they chose, and i think like 3 difference civilians ended up getting civ credit out of it because they fought super hard for their corresponding gym choice.

that's exactly the kind of thing i can't see Epi doing

this is the sort of thing i initially thought the polls could lead to - advantages to certain roles. i feel like that's less likely now.

And it seems we may want to spread the vote out according to general preference. The outworld is supposedly the realm of the bad guys, but then the civilians seem to be spread across all the other realms (my knowledge of Mortal Kombat is nill). Would it not be inherently beneficial to the civilian team if each realm benefited its members somehow?

Look to the star... wars.

there's also a possibility that over the course of the game, we'll get similar night polls to decide the overall effects of the day phase. we might end up visiting every realm at some point, and each realm might carry some sort of small hometeam advantage or something, like "a random player from this realm will have their vore made to be worth +1 or something"

Quin I'm sorry buddy but I actually had the same thoughts as Jimmy as I was going through page 1. Then when I read him say it I got a little bit frustrated that he stole my thunder. As you well know I am never wrong on a day 1 read so you might as well just give up.

To be clear: I voted in the poll with no real thought given to its impact on the game. I just wanted to vote.

I voted in the poll because Outworld is where the real shit goes down in the story. So basically let's get fucken started.

No, I lied.

I don't think you actually care about the read you've given me so far. That's natural for you in trying to progress Day 0/1 though.

Do you believe that?

"In what order shall you visit the realms?"

it seems like we will be visiting multiple places, so either this poll determines the order of the visitations based on number of votes on each poll item, or it only chooses our first location, and we'll have to pick the other ones later during future night times.

If it's the latter there is less consequence because we can just like... choose whatever and then base our future choices accordingly. if the night poll(s) reveal secrets then that should be p self evident.

i think either way keeping the outworld in the lead makes the most sense? if visiting the outworld puts their dirty laundry out first then hell yeah, if being in the outworld during a day phase provides the outworlders with some sort of tangible advantage (like an extra vote or something?) then i'd rather they have that on day one when everything's pretty much a crapshoot anyways than on a later day when they might be able to better take advantage

Dunno. But being ditched immediately after being accused is more annoying than I anticipated. I'll respect his self-restriction though, I guess.

Vote on location to go to at night. Won by majority vote I believe. That would end up with us spending the next day on that location which had the below effects

Locations:

Tatooine
You may put your vote up for sale this phase (HOST SECRET: Only the Hutts can buy these votes)

Yavin IV
A strategic war room, submit a list of roles and your guesses for who is behind each role to the Hosts. Earn 4 credits for each correct guess (your own role is not included).

Hoth
If someone from The Empire is lynched, those who voted for that person receive a number of credits equal to the number of votes it took to lynch him.

Dagobah
Force users get 10 credits for each Force user still alive.

Alderaan
As the soul of the Great Republic, participants will vote on which five should receive financial backing (bonus credits).

Cloud City
PULL

Endor
The forest of Endor houses a shield generator; an unscrupulous Ewok has taken it over and is using it for personal gain. He’ll protect the top three bidders tonight.

Death Star
If someone from The Rebel Alliance is lynched, those who voted for that person receive a number of credits equal to the number of votes it took to lynch him or her.

Epi built the game too I am quite sure.

I had a ping at first which I am prone to do when people are being enthusiastic in the way that Kylemii seemed to be (see Sloonei's description) but further posts seem relatively genuine. I don't accept Jimmy's argument for clearing as that's just as likely if not more so just common phrasing that Kylemii uses.

Thank you for the question. What were you expecting me to say?

He's been around as much as the next person so far but hasn't touched on the only suspect (me) yet, and has talked primarily about the poll. I wanted to know if anyone else thought it was worth mentioning.

Quin do you consider yourself to be a primary suspect?

Kylemii wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2018 3:18 am Quin do you consider yourself to be a primary suspect?

Not really. These are the initial "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" cases. A suspect nonetheless though.

Sloonei wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2018 1:37 am Kyle, which one of me or Jay is scum?

I missed this question before. Jay is a player who, in recent history has tricked me enough that I now try to prioritize reading him asap. I've also noticed that, in general, reading one of you or Jay seems to lead to having a read on the other sooner or later.

I see both of you putting early day 0 effort into throwing sticks in people's spokes, but nothing too hardlined yet, which is understandable cus it's day 0 and 2/3 of the game hasn't checked in yet.

I guess that doesn't really answer the question

I don't see anything you've said or done as being worthy of a civ or mad read, to me it's more of a "Quin seems lackadaisical and carefree" read, that might factor into a read later given different behavioral context.

Buddying

Oh haha making a Quin suspicion joke apparently that's not original this game. That's what I get for not catching up before posting.

So hey poll. I voted not-bad place because hanging around in mafia territory sounds like a bad idea? Feel like people are overthinking it, but hey, you guys have played more epi games than me.

Townread on quin. I have read quin correctly in 100% plus or minus 30% of the games I've played with him. So it's basically certain that he's town.

I can't vote anymore after watching the vote results

although i m new to format and lack knowledge of mortal kombat i voted for outworld too as it makes sense as explained by jay, given current scum reads i dont have one i see dat people sus quin but i have to read more from him to give a verdict

Welcome, you two! What can you tell us about your experiences playing mafia and your knowledge of each other, if you have any?

We should be spreading the votes around in the poll, I think. The question seems to imply that our votes will rank/determine the order we'll be "visiting" the realms, whatsver that means. We're leaving our fates up to the gods/Epiblooper if we all just clump together in the Outworld.

Made is town because he's doesn't give a shit about being accused of opportunism.

Jimmy wasn't kidding when he said he was gonna half ass this game I see.

This is my exact reasoning for my Outworld vote. Give the baddies a bonus on D1 when it matters least.
