Final bit of MTG advice:
Minds Aglow doesn't just affect whoever puts in mana. It makes EVERYONE draw those cards.
Same with Collective Voyage.
Whoever said "keep the players balanced" had the right idea. 20 Zombies isn't bad when everyone has them. They're bad when one player has them. This isn't a mayor game, lets not turn it into one.
Balance works in a normal MTG game. This game has a giant scum monster that puts us on a time bomb. That basically means everybody needs to ramp up double speed and everything that helps us do that is good.
Do you honestly think that SnB casting two land enchantments will help more than giving everybody 2 cards? Or hell, he can cast 1 land enchantment AND give everybody 2 cards.
Sure, it helps us more, because we will get zombies out of discard. However, we have no fatties and no use from a potential subsequent collective voyage. Good chance that it will balance out in turn 3 and give everybody a monster start.
I definitely don't see getting a bunch of zombies out as being elected mayor.
Anyway, the Minds Aglow discussion is somewhat separate from the zombies. We do not HAVE to cast ZI and if everybody is soooo scared of us having some zombies, then we can delay that decision: even without discarding to turn them into zombies, it's worth it for us just to get our recycleable cards into play. Just as it should be worth it for pretty much everybody to get their power cards.
The other thing that needs correcting is that for every 2 cards we discard we get 1 Zombie. If we draw and discard 10 cards, that will give us 5 zombies. Not 20. Lets stop exaggerating.
Realistic expectation is somewhere between 5 and 7 zombies, depending on how much mana is contributed and how much extra we discard from our current hand.

Now you no longer have to worry about me in your attempts to plan out what everyone will play.
Or you could attack someone for being scum and play to win?

I also think that Minds Aglow has been discussed to death by now. Imho Bin should just cast it or say he won't and be done with it. That way everybody can play what they want.

Look at me! I'm spamming like a jackass because I think thats how mafia games are won!
All the hydras are scum!
Everyone with a lowercase j in their name is town!
ThePoster is scum because he asks questions and gives orders, and also uses literally 76 metric fuck-tons of "quotation marks"!

Well good to see you're having "fun".

I have to have more filter than gonzaw. Apparently this makes you enjoy the game more?

EBWOP: Sorry, this previous post should have been two posts, one with the first sentence, and a second one quoting that sentence and including the second sentence.
I hit flood control so I have to post on this account. This should not be considered "breaking hydra" so I still expect to claim the "staying in character" prize at the end of the game.

I'm sorry but it just keeps coming. One Poster has SIX pages of filter right now. How the fuck is that fun. Seriously. Explain it to me. How the fuck can you enjoy that.

Look Igrok,
You cant dick around and then post something about you not having fun cause there are people attacking you cause you ARE NOT PLAYING LIKE A TOWNIE.
Yes, I can be obnoxious, arrogant, and hostile. These can be useful. I can also be fun, but you've got to be fun with me. To me, mafia is a game - if you aren't having fun while playing it you're doing it wrong. I'd rather have fun and lose than win by ruining the game for everyone. But if you ruin it for me, I'll do the same right back.
This is QQ, right here.
Everyone else seems interested in finding scum out and winning the game. You dont, so far.

That's more than 20% of THE ENTIRE GAME.
THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT TO POST. THEN POST IT. THEN LET PEOPLE RESPOND. THEN LET OTHER PEOPLE RESPOND TO THAT. GATHER INFORMATION AND PROCESS IT, DON'T JUST SPOUT OFF EVERY ASININE THOUGHT THAT POPS INTO YOUR HEAD.
Jesus Christ that is absurd.

The flipside of the coin is that if we all played like you: pointlessly trolling into silence we would get even less done.
This whole discussion is pointless, stupid and going nowhere.

Because both of us have a lot of thoughts and are oftentimes quick to share them with the thread, because we had a plan of forcing the discussion away from set-up/mtg and towards scum hunting. Because we are awesome.
You have all this rage at being asked to play the game you signed up for, why is that? I don't care how long your filter is, I do care that there is zero content in your filter. Who is scum and why.

No, fuck you.
I've hosted more games than you've played in. In every one, there's a small group of people who argue the same stupid shit over and over again, and end up with 30 pages of filter. IT makes the game a bitch to follow, and that's one of the reasons why I started to lose interest in mafia - three people just talk in circles and anything anyone else says gets drowned out.

Agreed with the spam is a little much, but trolling doesn't help either. Yes we can't form amazing reads d1 usually but we're playing against a clock. We need the best reads we can come up with, not just burning a day.
|
And if you think we spout off all of our ideas in here you should see our qt. we're at 170 posts already.
Have fun, do your thing, stop raging just because some people play the game differently than you do. Nothing we have done is objectively bad, we're both post monsters which we clearly recognize; sorry you don't like that, now start playing pro-town and hunting scum instead of yelling at those in this town who are doing that. Ask GreYMisT how yelling about people that annoyed him went last time.
Acro: you ready to share that scum read?

Well, as a wise man once said, “there’s nothing to fear but fear itself and maybe some mild to moderate jellification of bones.” Besides, to borrow from the voodoo sham known as “psychiatry,” it sounds to me like these eggheads are partaking in what they’d call “projection.”
