Fire Emblem Draft Mafia [Sign Ups]

[gwilikers6]

The one thing I need explained in the rules is what BTSC means.

[Epignosis]

BTSC is "Behind the Scenes Communication."

It is simply the privilege of being able to talk about the game with others outside of the thread.

By default, it's the advantage the mafia have over the civilians (mafia can plot secretly, while civilians must talk in the thread only).

[Tangrowth]

Wow, so glad to see some more legendary RYMers over here! Welcome, all of you!

[dunya]

The one thing I need explained in the rules is what BTSC means.

just like private chat for scum team. on this website, like later RYM, private chat isn't allowed between players unless specifically allowed by the mod of the game in a PM to you, and they'll send you a link to a chatroom with the other player(s) you're allowed to communicate with.

[dunya]

also to [mention]gwilikers6[/mention] and [mention]ColinIsCool[/mention] and maybe [mention]rundontwalk[/mention] if he forgot: the one thing they do here differently is day votes. there will be a poll option in the thread, much like the one right now, with all living players names in, and you just choose who you want to lynch (and can unvote and switch your vote as many times as you want before end of day deadline) instead of doing an in-the-thread vote tally constantly. it helps if you indicate in the thread when you vote, and most people do that, but not everyone does it all the time or immediately after voting so exact timestamps on when votes were cast is not possible. that's maybe the only significant difference between RYM and this place, more convenient than the manual tally, and something that I got used to (but harder to do vote pattern analysis).

[rundontwalk]

Alright. When do we start killing scum and/or townies?

[gwilikers6]

That voting system sounds a lot more convenient. I’m ready.

[Quin]

I love Fire Emblem and this setup sounds awesome. Completely different from anything I’ve done before. I wanna be a myrmidon!

fuck i didnt even think about campaigning

top five picks for me are (in no particular order)

myrmidon
mage
archer
wyvern rider
thief

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Alright. When do we start killing scum and/or townies?

The moment you receive a vote.

[dunya]

[mention]Strawhenge[/mention] says hey and to just lynch Jay first already.

also, Adrift is going to sign up!!!

[dunya]

Alright. When do we start killing scum and/or townies?

with ColinIsCool, Adrift and (I think) Iron_Dwarf registering to play, we need four more signups to reach 21. start campaigning.

[gwilikers6]

Holy crap, Jay...your win/loss record on this site is insane.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Holy crap, Jay...your win/loss record on this site is insane.

To be honest it's aided by 3 burglaries, which are the shortest game type here.

[Sloonei]

Alright. When do we start killing scum and/or townies?

I'm going #ballstothewall this game, officially.

[Sloonei]

This is like an RYM/HCRealms crossover game.

[rundontwalk]

The only position.

[dunya]

[JaggedJimmyJay]

He's good to go. You're a miracle worker.

[Kites]

Hi :o Ima be in too

[dunya]

hell yea. this game really is going to be #ballstothewall

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I might be in three games at once right as the semester begins. RIP me.

[Iron_Dwarf]

Iron_Dwarf here! Looking forward to put some balls against a wall.

[Iron_Dwarf]

What is permadeath btw?

[dunya]

What is permadeath btw?

it's something in the settings of the Fire Emblem game, "if you lose one of your characters in battle, they’re gone for good. You can also make it so that’s not the case, and they return in the next chapter."

I also wondered since I'm not familiar with the game and looked it up

also hai!!!!

[dunya]

don't forget to vote in the poll if you're playing, [mention]Iron_Dwarf[/mention]

[dunya]

don't forget to vote in the poll if you're playing, @Iron_Dwarf

oh you did vote, but you voted "no" so you won't be playing. You have to vote the first option to be /in.

Once upon a time when I was still a little highschool shit who played mafia instead of doing school I was in five games, I got lynched in three of my civ games and won my mafia game, go figure. :P

Also I'm in! The draft concept looks cool.

[Kylemii]

I played in a game like this long ago, I was the sole recruiter role. I got lynched day one before I even had the chance to recruit anyone, ending the game almost immediately.

I don't think the host ever forgave me.

The host probably could've done a better job making a game that wouldn't break on Day 1.

yeah maybe, though it was a pretty impressive mafia speedrun.

[Kenway]

Hello there. Please be kind for I am bad with Mafia.

[speedchuck]

Sweet! Hello new guy!

Some players can be pretty post-crazy, but we have some low posters, newbies, and kids that get along just fine and make good impacts on the game. We won't hurt you. :P Happy to have you here!

[dunya]

[mention]Kenway[/mention] is our dear friend from RYM so he's no stranger to our crazy high posting habits.

Hey Kenway! Our last game together was Loneliness & Cheese. I promise never to do that to you again.

If any of you folks are interested in hopping in a game that could start sooner than this one, Fiddler on the Roof just needs one more spot to be filled.

My schedule since 2018 began has been: wake up, work on applications, go to work, play mafia, work on applications, sleep, wake up, work on applications...

i'm a bit mentally fatigued.

[Tangrowth]

Holy shit, [mention]Kenway[/mention] is here?! Amazing!

Dude, I feel you. Grad school applications are draining. You got this though.

[Sloonei]

I still have other programs to apply to, but the two applications I've got done this week are for my top choices, and their deadlines are the most immediate. Plus I've now got the blueprint of all future applications laid out for me to draw from, so there should be significantly less work involved. It feels good and I'm borderline confident in my chances of acceptance. It's a tremendously relief to be done with this stage of the process, at least. Thanks for the encouragement, dudes.

Really the whole process is draining, but you have the right attitude. It took me significantly longer than I thought it should have when I was readying those myself a few years back, as well as assistant professor job applications over the holidays a couple weeks ago. Doesn't help that universities all want pretty much the same general information but in as many different and confusing ways as possible.

[Tangrowth]

I also just want to emphasize that I am incredibly happy to see all of these RYMers and HCRealms folks and just the general excitement surrounding this game and others at the moment. You all are awesome.

I would love to play myself, but... yeah, really shouldn't, unfortunately. I hope you all have fun with this though; I'm sure you will because the setup sounds really cool.

Yeah. Securing letters of recommendation was an unbelievable headache at first. It's a good thing I started that process months in advance, or I'd probably be dead from stress right now. Then writing the statements of intent proved to be one of the most challenging (but fulfilling) experiences of my life. I figured I could be done with them in a couple of days each, but no. The process of writing a draft only took about an hour each time, but I wrote about 15 drafts for both applications before I finally felt satisfied with what I had to say. That's been my primary headache this week. There was also a brief technical scare when I couldn't log into my account on the school's website two days ago.

Man, I feel you. I proposed my dissertation on Nov. 3 and submitted my applications right after X-mas, so the whole application process this time around took me almost two months, and I consider myself lucky to have wrapped all of that up so "quickly". Academia.
