Technically you can't join 'cause you've played 4 games but so has Unforgiven_ve. I'm just going to disregard all that 'cause it was quite a while ago for both of you, and then I'm going to stick to what I wrote in the OP: First come, first served. I was just dumb and totally forgot about HeavOnEarth (actually I got you confused with Unforgiven_ve but that's a long and even dumber story). So I'm going to bump Unforgiven_ve because he was the last to sign up. HeavOnEarth will join instead. I'm sorry for this inconvenience. Also, you people need to write "/in" (not now, but when you join other games in the future). | ||

Your time zones are not completely messed up. On June 13 2012 07:43 austinmcc wrote: Do mafia have to shoot each night? Plurality lynch, yes? No they can choose not to shoot if they feel like it. The second question is excellent. I'm going to use majority lynch instead, or whatever it's called. It's going to take #/2 rounded up votes to lynch somebody. In case of a tie, the person who got there first will be lynched. I'll put this in the OP too. | ||

I will take you on a journey. A journey to the home where you have never been, the place you belong but have never seen. A journey into your mind. You are on a beach, staring into the beautiful sunset. You are barefoot and you feel the hot sand between your toes. But suddenly a nasty seagull appears. Its wings flaps rapidly like those of a hummingbird in rut and its steel beak has been sharpened by the legendary swordsmith Muramasa. It insists that you hand over your valuables of which you have none. You put your arms over your ears and fold you hands behind your head. You close your eyes and scream as loud as you can. But we're going deeper. Deeper into your mind. You run through the dunes and into the forest. Around you walk peaceful roes and squirrels cheerfully follow you. They take you to a small pond in the forest where you sit down and rest. But suddenly your animal companions leave you. Next to you is a nefarious branch, leaned nonchalantly against a rotten birch trunk. The branch is gnarled and has bite marks in it and its hideousness leaves you stunned. It falls over and hits you in the forehead leaving a considerable gash. Your eyes widen and you start gasping for air. But we're going deeper. Deeper into your mind. You clumsily drag yourself away and exit the forest. You are on the top of a mountain. Below you the majestic eagles soar and below them you see nothing but fluffy clouds. Other peaks breach the white cotton carpet but none of them as high as where you stand. Only the stars surpass you. But suddenly the clouds turn black and the eagles seek shelter. A terrible old man approaches you. A seagull mounts his left shoulder and a branch supports him. He opens his mouth and utters an indescribable sound that leaves you shivering. You have a toothbrush in your hand. He wants you to brush his teeth. He opens his mouth but he has no teeth. Instead, a steady stream of toy cars comes driving out between his thin pale lips. Horrified, you take a step back. You lose your footing and start falling through the mists. But we're going deeper. Deeper into your mind. You regain consciousness on a bed of wild flowers. The sun affectionately caresses your face and the birds of the meadow sing for you. You feel invigorated like your entire being has been carefully reconstructed by the gods themselves. You walk through the long grass and enter a five towered castle. Inside, beautiful young maidens dance elegantly about in the celebration of life. You observe them from afar with happiness in your eyes. Suddenly panic strikes on their faces as if they had seen a monster. They quickly scatter and disappear but you fearlessly defy the danger and search for the beast. In the darkest dungeon of the castle you find it. The formless creature stares curiously back at you from beyond the void. You reach out for it. Touching its hand, you feel the cold hard surface of glass. But we're going deeper... Oh yea, zelblade the cohost has gone missing. And something about GMarshal the Wicked Puppetmaster too. Day1 has started! Ready, set, go! | ||

1) Share some constructive thoughts 2) Get people talking about something (besides the fact that there is nothing to talk about: see XVI) 6 new newbies and 6 old newbies (my POV) + Show Spoiler + One of the reasons I'm so excited for this game is that 5 of my buddies from Newbie Mini XV (a very enjoyable game) are back: austinmcc, golden, miltonkram, s0Lstice, suki We all have some idea of what to expect from each other, so I think this will help us in making reads. However, don't put too much faith in reads based off somebody simply playing different than last game. After all, we are all newbies here and players' strategy and playstyle can change quite a bit in the first few games, whether consciously or not. To the guys I dont know (roflwaffles55, trackd00r, Crossfire99, Mouldy_Jeb, alan133, heavOnEarth), I suggest that you look through XV if you have some spare time. It'll give you a better grasp on personalities, and let you focus on figuring out who is mafia rather than figuring out who is who. Inactives and Lurkers+ Show Spoiler + Chances are at least one person ends up lurking for most of D1, and I'd bet money that somebody will suggest a lurker lynch. I'm willing to lynch lurkers, but I don't want "lynch a lurker" to be the focus D1. This is for several reasons: -- Focusing on lurkers takes the pressure off mafia. It's not too difficult for mafia to take a stance on a lurker ("he's lurking") nor to make up an excuse for a mislynch ("well he was lurking") -- From my experience thus far in forum games, lurkers aren't any more or less likely to be mafia than anyone else -- Also from my experience thus far in forum games, it is totally possible to identify scummy people D1 who actually have a good chance at flipping red In summary, I ask that you keep lurkers on your mind, but not make them the hot topic of discussion. We should consider lynching them in the absence of better options. Thoughts on the setup+ Show Spoiler + Not really a lot of analysis we can do since all we know is there is at least 1 VT. Here is some advice for newbie blues: Just act like a normal townie with your posts. Don't claim without a really solid reason. If it looks like you might be lynched, don't claim. If you are definitely going to be lynched, you might as well claim, but there's no guarantee that we will believe you (sorry). @cop Don't check people that look likely to be Night Killed or that look likely to be lynched without your help. A smart check is on an influential player that you think might be scum, but doesn't look likely to die in the near future (from either lynch or NK). @medic, jailkeeper, veteran Pretty self-explanatory. go save lives. @vigilante You really don't want to die without using your bullet, but at the same time, your bullet appreciates in value as the game goes on. You have to judge the best moment to shoot. And you should claim after using your shot unless you have a good reason not to. NL in this setup?+ Show Spoiler + NL seems like a really bad idea due to the uncertainty of the roles. I can't envision a scenario where it would make sense before the final 4. So, we have to make sure to get a majority of votes each day. This can be difficult, especially in the beginning, but it is really helpful if you make yourself available in the few hours leading up to the deadline. In general, it's better to lynch a probable townie than to NL. But try not to let it come to that. Well I think that is quite enough and hopefully prompts some people into posting.. Or you can ignore me and talk about something else. Just post! 48 hours feels shortest on D1. | ||
