Re: Magic the Gathering Mafia - Day 0
so punish the fool seems like a pretty punishing ability for our team.
the best we can probably do is to make scum play whack-a-mole. we all need mana for something...
fix suggestion : everyone should ask for the mana they need (and that's it - just ask for the mana, don't say what it's for or that it needs priority, etc etc), irregardless of how good or bad their ability is.
loop holes : the mafia will target strong people this way, so we're a bit forced to spread the cards to someone they don't need dead. (PoEish targets that can reasonably be town)
my instinct is to say that 3 mana is a bit tough to gather? so let's not try to get caught up in an ability that takes quite a bit to use anyway.
thoughts / concerns about this?

Re: Magic the Gathering Mafia - Day 0
what if instead of electing a town leader we socialize it and each person is assigned one "scum point" that they can place on the person they thing is most likely to be scum that should get yeeted

Giant Trunade, Raigeki, Future Fusion for Chimeratech Overdragon pitching a Cyber Dragon and 18 other Machines from my deck, Chimeratech Overdrafon triggers and sends Fusion to GY killing Chimeratech Overdragon, Overload Fusion mats from GY to play a massive Chimeratech Fortress Dragon and swing for lethal.
Hold on... Future Fusion was errata'd it seems. YuGiOh is big dumb.

Re: Magic the Gathering Mafia - Day 0
That sounds like the exact system the game already has in place, but incorporating the point system I proposed with much less confusion....
I like this proposal. If I am elected benevolent dictator, I shall implement this policy and add you to my team of advisors.
No dental, but you get 3 weeks paid holiday

i'm sure some people need more energy than others but no one's fully self sufficient
we could at MOST be public about what kinds of energy we might need, maybe. like make a mana wishlist. and people could just generally give spare energy to people they find trustworthy. anything beyond that risks exploitation i think

Re: Magic the Gathering Mafia - Day 0
I'm just gonna put it out there now, cuz I see more pros than cons in releasing this info to the town: I do not need any mana from anyone at all. Don't send it to me.

Everyone should probably say which mana types they can benefit from, unless we think scum has some kind of "targeted removal" which will hurt us for saying our colors. Which I doubt

I, for one, would like to know what the ability is, and why I should spend my colorless mana on yours over others.
I'm assuming everyone got at least 1 colorless mana land?
Can you clarify your intention then plz?
Which on that note, I want to say:
Everyone who can keep their mana and use it probably should
Everyone should probably say which mana types they can benefit from, unless we think scum has some kind of "targeted removal" which will hurt us for saying our colors. Which I doubt
The punish the fool artifact looks like it's only a good play if the wolves know who is likely to be receiving mana, if they use it on a player who is given 0, then 4 x 0 is 0 damage.

Elaborations:
- Note that both this and the Wolf Pack are night actions, you can't use them during the day (you would have no mana to do that anyway)
- The purpose of this artifact is to prevent the town from breaking the game by making public plans on how to handle everyone's mana.
- Counter (as seen in this card) means roleblock or more specifically just "block". I won't be using the word roleblock anymore, its synonymous with "counter".
- Exiling a player removes them from the game and does not reveal their alignment (as if they were janitored)
- Which reminds me that upon death, players will flip their planeswalker, all of their land cards and all of the artifacts in their possession. The thing that they will not reveal is the state of their cards (tapped or untapped) as well as their current life total. More on the mechanics later.

Anyways, yes, you would be able to use the normal effect, but would need more mana to spend it on the additional effect of the kicker, if you wanted the kickers effect
