Because none of us have yet lost enough life to die. (But I'm getting there! Please no more votes for me!)

I am going to choose 3, if anyone wants to choose numbers based upon that.

I was just about to pick 3. (it's a magic number, yeah it is )

I guess I'll pick 7.

Oh jeez, that was a dumb question. I guess I am having trouble getting into the mechanics of this game even though I love it. I wonder who is the closest at this point to running out of lives.

linki - MR. There's always 9!

Randomly chose 19.

13 for me!

S'all good, I took 7.

I just want to raise the point -- why does everyone think sharing levels is a good idea? If Dr. Fetus knows what level he's in, he would be sure to post that he's looking there, encouraging everyone else to look elsewhere.

Not to mention his teammates, who can also lead us astray. I'm certainly not saying which level I'm choosing.

Well I did beg people to speak up about this all day long.

You've been begging a lot lately. I find it suspicious. Notice how I've been just minding my own business? I like myself for that.

Oh boy! Matahari!

Hello, happy people! It's nice to be here. I'll try to be up to speed by mid-day tomorrow.

Bye Dom!

Welcome Mata! Glad to have you aboard!

I'm caught up but boy am I still confused. This is unlike any game I've ever played so bear with me. This site is also running quite slow for me, not sure if thats due to some of the larger sigs or not but yeah, taking me a while to scroll through the pages.

Agreeing with Boomslang that it might be worth thinking about whether we should post which level we're searching in - as he/she said Dr Fetus can just post he's searching in his own - but if he is found, is the player that found him told? And if they are can they share that in the thread? Then if Dr Fetus is posting he's searching in his own level, and someone else checks it, and finds him, we would know who he is. Does that mke sense?

So while we discuss it, I won't say which level Im searching in tonight.

These are some good points I am considering. The other thing is Dr.fetus learns our patterns for which numbers we often pick. I think if we keep announcing that having two people search a level is good as well.

Since we are mostly announcing levels this time I am going to search 17.

Also Welcome Mata!

So I decided to read some role(s) k. Mr Sock Host Sir, what are the winning conditions for the indy Poop Boy? Is it a LMS type thingy? Because if it is... I reckon he ought to have the highest number of lives, which means he can roam freely in the thread for a while without having to worry too much about losing a handful of lives. Also, does the Doc know this not very appetising brownie's identity, because if he doesn't, there is a small chance that when at Chapter 3, the Doc chooses the player who is in fact Brownie to race himself. So how does this work q.m.

Also, haaaai Rose and Mata!

Brownie is independent, but not LMS. He can win with either the heroes/civvies or the villains/baddies, but not both. This decision will be made at a particular time.

Dr. Fetus does not know Brownie's identity. If he chooses Brownie to race himself, well, nothing happens.

Well, I have read up, and double checked some things. Please bear with me, I find myself playing from a traditional mafia game mindset, but perhaps should be playing from a gamers mindset. Which I don't know how to do as I am not a gamer

What boomslang said about discussing our level choices was the same type reaction I had while reading through. On the first night of searching for dr. Fetus, I think it was night zero, why was everyone letting dr fetus know where they were going? Even more noticeable, was the idea of spreading out, and covering a different level per person. That seems like an easy way for him to hide.

Nev first asked whether choices could be discussed, then INH suggested coordinating between players. BWT suggested everyone pick a diff level, then mongoose seconded it and pointed out that people might not survive in the level they chose, so it would be best not to double up? (If I understood her correctly?)

Then several players did double up (providing they actually voted like they said). Nev-1, dev-1 or 2, mongoose-3, DP-3, jigsaw-2,6,11 and vomps-11 or 12.

Could a teammate of dr fetus have wanted to pick a level with dr fetus so that it would discourage civs from also choosing that level?

Or am I totally not understanding a bunch of stuff and looking at the wrong things? Thus embarrassing myself further

Also, please keep in mind that I don't think anything is as simple as my above post makes it sound like. Rolling off a few names was just because they had part in the decision to publicly plan the night 0 search; not because I think a baddie team would take a chance on being discovered. But it makes me wonder that maybe someone in that group could have capitalized on the situation.

Again, I still wonder if I'm way out in left field because of not knowing much about meat boy.

OMG!!! If only this was what we had actually done last night! I would have recorded Alex doing all of this and posted it here

Welcome Mata!! I agree with you on not doubling up on which levels we choose to search. We should definitely spread out and cover more ground imo!
Super busy today but I will select level 9! Please let me know if anyone else has selected this yet!
I'm also very creeped out by the hospital that looks like a graveyard

Welcome Mata.

I am choosing to keep my level pick to myself as well. It feels like we are all stumbling around in the dark with no lynches yet. It is simpler to find a baddie once we have a confirmed lynch.

I suspect a lynhc is still a ways off unless we settle on one person and bombard them with votes. Do you think that is what we should do? Who should that person be?

You. You'd be a great candidate, although it would also be a shame to lose you as a result of a first successful lynching.

Some low posters then?

Devin, I either sounded my usual unclear self, or you misunderstood me. I don't advocate doubling up or not doubling up; I just thought it was kind of odd that not doubling up was encouraged, but a few did it anyway. Or said they did, it could have just been a cover up to trick dr f. I don't really know. But it struck me because it also was a good way for dr f to avoid detection. If dr f chose a square, and one of his teammates chose the same square, it would be unlikely that a third player would also choose that square.

Anyway, it's just one of those little things that struck me as I was reading through. And it could mean nothing. I'll probably have to read through again for the game to sink in a little better.

My fear at first with publicly stating the level-check was that I wasn't sure whether the villains kill by targeting players or levels. After rereading, I'm guessing it's by player as usual.

Interesting!

If a player is resurrected, are the hit points refilled (all the missing lives are returned to the player), or does the player only have One Life to Live?

Er, I quoted the wrong part there. You know what I mean.

Mongoose wrote:Interesting!

The player is given the exact number of lives he/she had at the time immediately before his/her death.

No, I was alluding to a G&S operetta while drinking a G&T. Easy mistake to make.

I think this is a good idea. Low posters, not llama. And, obviously not Rusty.

You've probably heard this from me before...zinc and Vitamin C!!! Take it once (I sometimes take it twice depending on how bad the cold) a day for three-five days and your cold will be less severe and shorter. Sometimes the cold won't progress at all. I may not be a great Mafia player but I kick ass at RL haha Feel Better!

I know! Thank you based /mu/. It's awesome so far but incredibly different.

In retrospect of how I originally felt, I agree more about it not being wise to share which level each of us looks at every night. Hence why I will not reveal which level I search in tonight.

Okay guys, I'm going to got level 2 again:) hopefully I can be lucky again. <(^_^)^

I thought there was sound advice with it and went that route. Do I get a cookie for it?

We are back to low posters again? Ok fine, if we exclude subs and those no longer playing:

Jigsaw - 7
Nevinera - 9
Vompatti - 11
Boomslang - 11
DP - 12
Elohcin - 15

So who of all these people do Llama, Lizzy, and Elo suggest we vote?

I just don't think it's a great strategy in this game frankly. But I can see the value in actually having a lynch rather than eating away at everyone's total until one day 5 people die all at once.

Welcome back Epi! What are your thoughts you brought back from beyond? For or against low posters? For or against keeping our levels secret? Mata, MR, Rose, what are your thoughts as well?

I can't decide on hiding our levels or not. I see value in both. We shared twice and the last time we found him. I will be interested to see what happens tonight.
