Why not give a PM game a go? I'm expecting solid advice in the thread from those that have played PM games before.

I will keep an eye on Mr zeurg, you are correct that an account created specifically for mafia could indicate a smurf. I guess we shall see. Finally, to those signing up, please can we have a civil game! Arkham City and the GM Mini are so full of angry people. | ||

It's just roles that have description such as Short Fuse (Brutal): Can provoke another forumer into getting banned with a personalized insult Probably won't make for a friendly atmosphere. Watching Arkham City and GM's Mini descend into name calling wasn't much fun. I hope the same doesn't happen here. | ||

Nothing wrong with calling stuff stupid if you show why. It's people creating pages and pages of back and forth that annoys me. | ||

I'm still going to be highly active, but having 30 pages of filter in a 150 page game with 18 players is not gonna happen this time around. I consider this important to improving my game. So if someone's like "Blazinghand isn't spamming, he must be scum" I want you to bear in mind that I'm not spamming either way this game. *everyone breathes a sigh of relief* Can we call you scum if you start spamming then? I will endeavour to do some similar this game. I am not happy with my style from my first game. I am trying to change but it is harder than I thought. | ||

I mean Masons naturally hide stuff from other people and create confusion so surely it is better to keep things in the thread. What is the advantage of a Masoning a player over a thread conversation particularly that you cannot guarantee the person you are talking to is town? In addition to this any and all trolls are going on my FOS list this game. I have yet to have someone explain how trolling is any different to lurking. Yes, but I thought masons knew each others alignment. | ||

Lets say someone cannot be online around lynch time and so they target someone who despite them knowing ends up getting lynched. Do they lose their action or will they get to reuse it before the day post? | ||

All bitches, lets this game going. Regarding the fanboy thing, it sounds like a "mayor" role. I agree with not using it. If town has agreed on a lynch then by changing the target you are acting against the town. I would say the only time this would be acceptable is if you're a DT that has a green/blue check on the leading lynch target. Then you would have to switch the lynch target and claim before daybreak. Actually, that would depend on who the lynch target is, what role they have and how close to MYLO we are. It is probably better to have the DT permanently hidden. OK, so it is a no to switching the lynch target even if you have a green check? Thoughts people. | ||

A town Rabid Fanboy shouldn't be jumping out his ass to use his power because if he's still alive at LYLO (say, with 3 town and 1 scum) he can make it so a 1 town 1 scum situation is a town victory. That's your logic for not using the rabid fanboy trait? That he may be wrong when he uses it near MYLO? Sorry son you have to do better than that. Fanboy should not be used because that person is deliberately acting against a town consensus. They make themselves look scummy as hell and (unless they have a green check, which outs them as a DT so why bother) they may have saved a red. This applies for the whole game, not just near MYLO. BH, you can do better. | ||

CLAIMING Traits are not alignment based so anyone with the following traits should openly claim immediately: - Rivals should claim once Day 1 has started. Rivals are much more likely to be townies than Mafia. Mafia already have their rivals: the town. Not only this, it puts into perspective your motivations in getting specific people killed. If you prove yourself useful and don't fuck things up you will be assisted where possible in achieving your goals. - Short Fuse should claim and never use their power of modkill. If you fail or succeed, deliberately goading people will shit up the thread to no end. Also it makes us seriously consider the lynching of a Short Fuse, the potential of having a VisceraEyes/BC event needs to be known beforehand. - Rabid Fanboy #1. You are essentially a mayor. Do not use this power without first putting it out in the open. We get a replacement if you die anyway so you are not as important as other roles, no need to hide. - Thief. The rapidly increasing chances of being instalynched as roles are stolen means that scum theives would be unlikely to risk stealing a role a second time, 1for1 trades are not good for Mafia. Claim outright so we can work out when and if you use your role. Additionally, all players should claim their roles, traits and alignments to me via PM asap :D VOTING Multiple lynches should be avoided on the first few days. We can save them until later when we have more information. Especially with the Night 0 start where people will probably die before we can get a lynch off, we can't just start offing large numbers of people straight away if we mislynch we get fucked much quicker. CELLS Are stupid. From what I have read in past games everyone ignores them and chooses to PM whoever they please. I am in favour of communicating with who you want and whoever wants to talk to you, forcing people into an arbitrarily formed cell doesn't make sense when the formation of such groups can easily be biased. Discuss! lol Do you a have a point? Yes that is where I got it from. It stuck with me because it made sense to me and I have seen mayor roles before. Nice to see that you are reading previous games though. | ||
