leetic wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2025 2:24 am I'm doubtful of Thunal's strategies here. The thing is that we want the assassins out of the way early, as the more villagers we kill the higher the chances of the assassins getting the target correct. It also assumes a complete lack of creativity from us. As long as people are smart enough to not take the route of always townreading the king, then it won't be an issue. All of us know who the king is, as long as we aren't absolute morons the king is never in danger of being the final lynch regardless of if one or some of the guards are voting them at any particular moment. We benefit from resolving this as quickly as possible, and in most scenarios random lynches won't achieve that.
We know who's the king? You mean Daisukenowaifu?
Wait, shouldn't it be queen. This doesn't make sense gender wise
This slipped the king lol

Queen = user is a woman

Foxy, being a newcomer, isn’t immediately attuned to everyone’s gender. This means the king had to have an overtly feminine username.

Michelle

(See beginning of spec chat)

I did that intentionally... I immediately put it onto Daisu. Ofc it's queen since Daisu is a girl, idk how you guys interpreted it as anything but that

Long Con wrote: ↑Tue Mar 04, 2025 2:21 pm Did anyone actually suspect me of being Assassin?

Had you in POE day1 and that's pretty much it I think. Forgot ngl

@Dragon D. Luffy @Michelle Actually I ran the game already but some players got toxic too much and instead of subbing and keeping things tense, as it was just day1, I just declared no contest. I will run it again as Semi-Open setup somewhere around June but I have other very cool setup ideas as well, closest one will start probably somewhere around first april.

Here's kinda the new setup idea I plan on running.

Less Is More
X town
Y mafia

Everyone can abstain from something in their role PMs. Depending on what and how much they abstain, they will be granted appropriate amount of coins.

Role Confirmation also counts as Day 0. During it, they are free to voice out what they abstain from and if they wish to buy an item with the amount of coins gained.

There will be X items ranged from C to S tier.

C tier items are items that will barely be able to help the game.
B tier items are items that have a direct influence on the game if used well.
A tier items are items that will always have a strong influence on the game.
S tier items are items that can easily decide the game's outcome.

Only item's names and looks will be revealed. Their functions will remain unknown until bought and will then be revealed only to the buyer. Or not. Not sure what to do with this part.

Dragon D. Luffy wrote: ↑Mon Mar 03, 2025 11:18 am So let me tell you an interesting story.

Back when I was still a newbie, with maybe 10 games under my belt, a player from my home site, Naruto Forums, invited me to play a mafia game in the site he owned, Captain Luffy (a One Piece site).

When I went there, I learned they didn't call them Mafia Games, it was Assassin Games. Then asking the people, I learned Assassin Games was this kind of mafia variation they played there, with kings and mafia having one-shot kills.

The game I played there wasn't like this one here, though. It was a bastard, role madness Assassin in the Palace game, with some questionable mechanics.

But the cool thing is that they had many variations of AitP, with different mechanics, named roles, etc. Basically everything we do here, but with the king/assassin/guard setup.

They also had mafia games, but it was not their main activity, it was more like the different thing they did when they wanted variety.

And it was only later, after checking other sites, that I learned AitP was an actual classic setup played in many places.

That site has been defunct for years, but for a while there was this bizarro negative zone where people play Assassin Games and Mafia is the cool creative toy they pick every once in a while.

I'm just telling this story because hey, maybe if anyone wants to come up with some Assassin-based role heavy or different setup, it would be cool.

Actually, funny thing is, the reason I joined this setup is because it awfully reminded me of my own. I made chess setup with symmetrical roles, 16 player, 8 pawns, 2 rooks, 1 king and queen, etc. You get it. In addition to night actions you can vote on who to promote and if the most voted person is pawn, they get a new role. Pawns are kinda Vanilla.

Anyway, King role was meant to be only town Pawn innocent child with drawback of when it's killed mafia gets a queen which was even night vigilante. The problem with that was that when I considered King self destructing for the sake of overall picture, it could have ended in town getting 6 green checked pawns ready for promotion which just sucked so the King role had to be changed.

And then, Dai messaged me about this setup that closely reminded me of the core of my own idea and I was excited to see how it would play out

I totally didn't defend the only two assassins! I totally didn't! I totally didn't!

Well, since the thread is not closed yet, do read my wallpost and consider answering why is he scum. Got any town reads too? Play a little

Cya, I loved this game. I'll yap a lot in spec chat probs, idk how much will I spec but probs lots too

Oh, a good way of finding wolves is to consider the setup and what are the best tactics both for town and scum. Then, if the town tactic is more obvious, would scum consider a counter and how so?

And then, ofc, try finding those somehow. Well, I don't think this will happen but hey, throwing it out there for someone who wants to be my yapping successor. @daisukenowaifuke I am looking at you

Okay uh, here's my legacy, vote order I am doing completely out of head and things are a bit messed up in it rn so yeah sorry:

Nutella, Falcon, Michelle, Svs, Dai, Long Con, Jack, Leetic.

Sorry that I can't explain anything due to:
1. time
2. Reasons
3. Lazy (cmon it's last half an hour and less and I didn't expect this)

My tactics for the town:
1. Absolutely abuse the heck out of Epi's ISO. Bussing, powerwolfing, distancing, ignoring. Those are the four wolf tactics and consider all. The unnatural amount of attention, the weird way of wording things, the thought process that I tried pulling out with T33. You saw what I did, if you like it, try pulling out something. Maybe not actively, but surely look into ISO with that thought in mind as well.
You guys probably know his meta so consider his wolf style, but more importantly, don't overlook that his partner may have a different style and it resulting in a clash or a change. Or well, this setup shaking things up.
It's complicated as hell but I am sure that if the whole town works together and ISOs him with all that in mind, you guys can succeed. Don't be afraid of outing King, I know you guys are smarter than that.

2. Look at others' attitude towards Epi. Consider their own playstyle as well.

3. Abuse the heck out of this setup. We have a cop check and half of you guys didn't even consider on using it.
"What if I out the King"
Think. Idk what to say man. Find a way. Make decoys, fake, even intentionally get voted out so that the scum doesn't get closer to the King. Fooling scum into spewing not King while getting voted out and letting maybe some other players get spewed town in town's minds is absolutely worth it. Remember, we win as long as scum doesn't know who is the King. And they will get voted out eventually.

Oh, and ofc, maybe try throwing bait that you are a King? Or don't? Either way, making scum overthink it is better than letting them solve it naturally. I tried. In fact, I am 60% sure that I was considered next for a kill until you guys decided to spew me not King hahah. Don't blame you tho, it was a dangerous gambit and one I think is worth taking for the benefit of the overall game.

Good luck. Remember, your job is not to find who is scum, that's teriary. Secondary is finding town. Primary is fooling them into who is not King. And yes, I am writing this fully knowing that it's impossible for scum to get who is King from whatever is in my ISO or this post. Whoever you are, good luck brother, if you suceed, I am taking my hat off to you. Is the King ignored? Or what if he was in my scum reads? What if I intentionally spewed him guard? What if I didn't? Or mayhaps... the King is my most defended town read? Good luck brother/sister.

Welp, it's a risky thing, perhaps foolish, but I did it.

Remember town, this game is just lottery without reads and first two days are the most important we can get. Read ISOs, fool scum, fool yourselves, and good luck.

And sorry, I trolled a bit hahah

Guess I am meeting that spec chat sooner than I thought hahah

Whoa wth, this runs till today??? I wanted to take a day off and spend like, a few hours tomorrow doing ISOs and wallposting...

Are legacies just forgotten on this site
No, but she didn’t have info. She could be wrong. You take it into consideration but ultimately you are responsible for your own vote.

I personally suspect you not just on gut (and gut is part of it) but also due to your efforts to stop the chop of Epi and attempting to shut down discussion of him, even when he wasn’t the focus.

You try to throw the thread into chaos, especially at eod, and chaos tends to benefit wolves.

you’ve been the main topic of conversation the last two days, and a prominent topic the days prior.

Like I said, I think you will flip assassin, but if you don’t, that tells me that someone else was potentially pushing you as a distraction.

But we can’t spend another day talking about you, as charming and amusing as you may be. And if you’re town, you know that.

True, which is why I stopped bothering after TSP flip

In addition, based on the rules, pushing a tie would have to be a really bad look.

S~V~S wrote: ↑Mon Feb 17, 2025 7:24 pm Well. Two way ties would be bad, but a 16 way tie could work? Especially with no NKs?
Young miss, in my humble opinion, pushing ties isn't necessarily anti-town. The thing is, you see, we know who the King is. So pushing a tie can and will serve to confuse scum (I like to call mafia scum, I hope no one takes offense. If they do, voice it out and I'll stop). Deciding not to do ties is if anything, anti-town in my opinion. But uh well, it really depends on the situation.

Foxy wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2025 5:23 pm Guys, I don't like this tie at all and you should know why. May you please change your votes as it's only half an hour before EOD?

This question has never been answered BTW

I want to know the reason behind the flip flop on his own strategy

Nope. But like someone said, Thunal was just a villager so she could be wrong.

Scotty left a similar legacy

Ah, I did say that I had 5 people in POE actually if you don't remember. Nutella was in the unmentioned two. And more than that, I kinda just got a gut feeling over something. But I did ISO of Epi and ngl, I have reasons to believe it's any of the four. Maybe not Michelle. But others probably.

To elaborate, the amount of replies he had and the way he worded things made me believe that it's either someone from that POE or Nutella due to the gut feeling I have.
1. He seemed to have a strange attitude on TSP.
2. Michelle was just a random vote out of nowhere and ignored forever since then.
3. Weirdly towning falcon too much.
4. Nutella was kinda ingored for the later part while seemed to have placed attention during the early part? Plus my gut. Yeah, the same gut that got Thunel out hahah
