Very good chat night. Rewarding. Just... in friendship and stuff.
Really don't know what I'm supposed to be doing. Whatever. Anyone got something they want to share? Heck, something they can share?

Enrique wrote: ↑Fri Mar 09, 2018 10:41 pm Wait INH, the way this poll is design is somebody not going to be able to go to a location? We have thirteen players for four locations with a max three. There's an odd person out.

I'm going to The Power and the Glory pending any requests from other players. Speedchuck, DH, sounds good?

It'd be a good night.

DharmaHelper wrote: ↑Sat Mar 10, 2018 2:36 pm I may not be able to offer any insight into Twin Peaks but I do know INH games, and how INH thinks and what he likes to put into his games, so I can crunch the numbers so to speak on that regard.

First real rule in playing an INH game is to take absolutely nothing at face value. The game we're playing today and the game we're playing tomorrow may not even resemble each other.

Second important thing to keep in mind is INH has no love for typical mafia structure. We shouldn't expect to solve/win the game by hunting mafia, and the "baddies" shouldn't expect to solve or win the game by avoiding detection and killing as many people as possible.

Third important thing is that INH tends to put challenges or puzzles into his games. Sherlock Mafia was full of this shit. So if you want to go far and do well in this game, I'd recommend finding one or two people you trust, that can help you when the puzzles start to drop because you won't be able to do it alone and trying will kill you.

I don't think I've played a game with a time limit before but the two weeks limit presents an interesting question. Are we running out the clock, marching ever forward to our inevitable deaths? Does anything we do matter if the only apparent source of death is the ring, and only the dead get to determine who gets the ring in the first place? The answer to that is, as best I can tell, no. We're waiting for the shoe to drop, and with INH games there are several shoes and they will always drop when you least expect them to.

So what I'm saying is take what you know about mafia and kiss it goodbye before jamming a dagger straight into its neck and watching it bleed out, only to then realize that its dying gasps hold the one valuable piece of information you needed to win.

I have never played an INH game as far as I can remember....dont quote me on that but I can't remember one.

ANyway, I find this very comforting.

I don't know who you should give it to.

DharmaHelper wrote: ↑Sun Mar 11, 2018 1:24 am Wait, so did Daisy give *you* the ring or did you get the ring because giving a member of the mafia the ring would mean they would know who not to give it to?

MacDougall wrote: ↑Tue Mar 06, 2018 1:12 am So I am guessing that given we aren't lynching and the game ends at the end of day 7 that the aim is to survive to the end of the game moreso than to actually "get" the bad guys (for vanilla townies at least). This poll might more of a "don't go where the people you suspect are because they will kill you overnight if you are in the same location as them", dealio.

speedchuck wrote: ↑Sun Mar 11, 2018 9:43 am Hm yeah, I guess we could actually be scumhunting in this game, and then nominate people in thread to receive the ring. A townie would probably follow through.

To that end I'd expect mafia to branch out, visit different locations.

Yeah, it follows that they would have BTSC to begin with, but I'm not sure if it actually says that anywhere or if there's precedent with INH games.
