On a serious note, it's not just about number of posts, it's about general contributions. You've goofed around a lot under the Paladin guise, I am the greatest this and I am the greatest that and woe all those who are not my subordinates or some shit, and I just want to make sure you're who you claim to be.

From where I'm sitting JJJ has contributes the *most* reads and real content. The signal to noise ratio might be a little higher than normal but there's still plenty of signal there.

Sorry, you're a wonderfully high poster, but JJJ is usually the dominantly high poster of every game. I don't even usually match him, but I currently have no social obligations and it's a weekend so... I'm throwing a meta he hates in his face, but hey, I was mislynched last game even with 300 posts so meta don't mean shit here I guess.

I don't care for this progression from MacDougall:


This all came in response to colonialbob giving Mac shit for his drafting behavior. I am not typically the sort to care about "omgus", but when it's MacDougall my mindset is different. He loves to be blatant, and this is very blatant. I struggle to believe that he really is in a frame of mind featuring colonialbob as the one who must be lynched independent of bob's accusation of him. It's about bob's first post, and that's an accusation that reads cooked to me. I am being asked to buy the coincidence and I am not inclined to do so. Then the last thing there is just pointless.

I wasn't actually sure how serious cbob was. How serious were you with the below, cbob? Testing waters or a real ping?

No.

So I see sig and lapluie hail from Badguyia. My background PM does not tell me where I’m from, I dunno bout anyone else.

it tells you that you look like a woman, though?

well, now that we know the countries are assigned randomly, I'm not sure what significance lap and sig being in badguyia is. Wyvern Rider is a death role so hope sig is on our side. I don't see the relationship between Thief 2 and Wyvern Rider as we made with Rico's army roles.

do any one else's backstories say they are from goodguyia or badguyia? Other than the ones listed in the OP I mean.

some people don't have countries, " All townies will be randomly assigned to the nations of Goodguyia, Allyia, Nomadia or Badguyia if their backstory does not specify one." so gwilikers is from Badguyia and he's not up in the OP.

my backstory doesn’t specify country either

My country of origin isn't explicitly stated, though I suppose it is implied.

Is your country of origin Goodguyia like the OP lists you under?

Powers and location are associated to a degree. For the time being, I'm not talking about my origins.

I mean, I've never played this game so I'm sorry if I goofed up. I thought it was mostly just flavor but he did say some powers will be country related. I guess have no idea which powers belong to which nations, but you're right, people who know the game will know more about me.

How do you figure I’m from Badguyia? I see nothing to suggest that.

Anyone whose backstory does not specify where they're from is assumed to be from Badguyia as the rules I quoted up there day.

As someone familiar with the game, what does that tell you?

Do roles and powers differ greatly from one nation to another?

I think you’re misinterpreting that and JOH is simply not a proponent of the Oxford comma. Relating to mafia, I don’t think it tells us anything.

wait that's wrong

dunya wrote: ↑Sun Feb 11, 2018 3:27 pm Do roles and powers differ greatly from one nation to another?

Yeah, different countries often have more units of a certain kind, but I can’t imagine how that would translate to mafia. There are good and bad characters of every class.

By different units, do you mean power class like flying / foot / mounted?

dunya wrote: ↑Sun Feb 11, 2018 1:41 pm Jay doesn't agree with it, so it must be wrong!

No, it's more like this:

"Jay has seen that accusation hurled 500 times across tons of games, and it very rarely amounts to anything useful."

Roleplay is fun. Civilians like to have fun too. And the notion of "hiding" is the issue. Am I hiding at all? So often players feature real content in their roleplay, and others ignore or overlook it because they don't look past the surface appearance.

My point was that it's much easier for scum to hide behind roleplay.

Do you think JJJ is hiding? If so, why?

Does this JJJ look like supertown civ JJJ to you? He's allowed me to take the front seat. Even Kyle has more posts than him. I want to say he's hiding and he's scum, but he wouldn't be that obvious and I don't think there's much to hide on Day fucking 0 still which has felt like a week already. Hopefully calling out his wackiness will help us see what JJJ is up to this game and having a better read on him.

also, I'm acting salty about Mortal Kombat which just ended so I'm giving him some shit.

Jay has a very high post count. I don't think he has allowed you to pass you as much as you went into a post frenzy and probably broke the record for most posts made by a person in a day 0 in this site's history

I'm personally reading Jay as civ because I have recently seen bad Jay and it felt wrong in ways this Jay doesn't. Bad Jay doesn't take the helm, he posts a lot of text without much substance and lets others take the helm. This Jay is struggling to compete with your inhuman post count, but I feel like he is trying to take the helm.

As for Kyle, I've already commented about how his posts lack any semblance of scumhunting despite the high post count, and I wonder why he and the rest of you ignored.

What is your read in Kyle, people?

I haven't "allowed" you to take the front seat. You took it by force. If you keep posting at this rate then I am never going to lead the thread in posts even if I want to.

Y'all rue the day you're ever perceived to be so prolific that having 70 posts on Day 0 is "hiding".

Well Jay basically said the same thing in the next post lol.

I think the premise is that we should accept players to have a high amount of noise due to the specific nature of this day 0, as in, how it forced us to dwell in game mechanics.

Even with that, some players have already made an effort to extract a mafia game from this madness, while some haven't. Jay did, Dunya did, I believe I did.

I don't know how to change the game title to say Day 1 instead of Day 0 on mobile.

So there's no poll? Just in post voting?

Cool.

But it makes it easier to see when votes happened compared to each other, and there is something very satisfying about killing people using your text.

Same. And as long as everyone helps keep a tally, it's not that hellish.

What's wrong?

i live in a mysterious forest as a hermit, i asked jack if i just don't have a homeland at all and he told me that my homeland was nonspecified, and that it would be determined randomly if i am ever targeted by a nationality-related role. I'd have to assume others are like that as well.

OH man I am so fucked

Thanks jack I appreciate it

I read Kyle as a civilian on the strength of his tone. This post in particular read positively to me. Kyle should answer to your assertions though.

I....don't understand.

i think that's probably what rule 4 means, if every role were going to be assigned a definite homeland anyways then there'd be no real purpose to not mentioning the homeland in the actual background itself

RECOMMENDATION FOR THE GAME MOVING FORWARD:

We need to use a uniform method for calling our votes. Otherwise it will much harder for the host (and for us) to track votes. I propose the following: bold, underlined, and capitalized with the word "vote" first. I would include a color, but that's tougher on mobile. For example:

VOTE MACDOUGALL
