No. No. Do not claim if you have the ring unless you want to die.


I think you misread what I said. I said that the ring holder should only claim if he decided he needed to pass it off or had a role requiring him to pass it.

Let's get this game started!

As always, some general advice:

1) Town should stay focused. A few talking points should dominate a day cycle but never so many that it's basically everyone posting suspicions on everyone else, leading to "post-by-post analysis" of 5+ people. A disorganized town is a plus for the mafia.

2) Don't rely on power roles. Assume we have none and go from there.

3) Personally I like a bit of civility but I do understand some people like to be aggressive and it has it's uses. But let's keep the atmosphere positive instead of negative. Negative atmosphere will be detrimental to town play and at the end of the day that isn't good.


Point 3 in particular should be on everyone's mind. Palmer really messed town up in the previous game by basically making Day 2 a huge mess with over-aggression and spam. And then basically the only reason mafia was lynched in that game was due to blue power, breaking point 2. Let's NOT bank on blues to win the game this time.

Also, ##vote: Greymist

asking for the ring outright? tsk tsk. My steel and iron comes for you.


I agree with this.

##Vote: Greymist


Well looks like I succeeded in getting discussion going.
Out of the three people who voted for me immediately, only Dr. H and chaises gave a good reason. Daz, any other reason rather than "I agree," or is your vote a sheep vote?


I actually had stated my reasons regarding the ring earlier I just didn't vote for you then.

I know Tom Bombadil was kind of a neutral figure right? He was just concerned about his forest or whatever


The only neutral figures I can think of (I havnt watched/read LoTR in a long time) are possibly Golom/Smeagal or the Ents.

I feel our best course of action day one has got to be to have whoever is in possession of the One Ring to come out of hiding and give it to me. I'll take good care of it.


No one should just get given the ring especially this early in the game. We should use it in the same fashion that the hallows was used in PTP2.


How the fuck is that a reason?


Hmm thought I had posted something else along side that.

Basically the first people to seek after items in PTP2 was scum since they obviously won't have any members having it for balance reasons.

( And yes we probably can get the whole confirmed townie thing going from who starts with the ring, shame they will instantly die by claiming it though )

What is the point of arguing about the passing of a ring that is probably not going to get passed, hell, we don't even know if whoever has it even has the ability to pass it? Though it was offered willingly a couple of times (to Galadriel and to Aragorn and at Rivendell Frodo also wanted to get rid of it), I think that it is silly to spam and think about it when it's purely speculation and when there's more important stuff to do.

Right now GreYMisT wrote a(nother) stupid post, saying "I'm sorry, I'm stupid and I'm on a phone too, that's worth a post in and of itself, but I see why you think I'm scum and stupid but I'm really just stupid". This just doesn't sit well with me even though the original reasoning for even voting him was inarguably pretty weak.

Oh yea Samwyse also had it at some point right? He had it and then he willingly gave it to Frodo 'cause he didn't want to walk around with it or something and then later he indirectly carried it, carrying Frodo who was carrying it. Woopseedaisy.

That I did. Apologies. And you're right. Once the mafia have the ring, it's theirs forever unless we have a hero vigi shot since mafia about to be lynched can pass it off.

Will we be notified if the ring changes hands either through giving it away or death?

Confirmed townies are always good. They are a voice that every town player can trust to be legit, and one less player they have to worry about being scum. Every game I play is basically a process of finding town aligned players and sifting through the rest.

Presumably Frodo or Bilbo start with the ring, as this is LOTR mafia. Not Hobbit mafia or Random mafia. If you have the ring, obviously keep it and don't tell anyone in any way that you have it . I think we can all assume that a Sauran or Saruman with the ring with have some nasty abilities. If you HAVE to give it a player, then don't reveal who you gave it to.

Keep it secret, Keep it safe.

Step 3, avoid lynching an easy target. This is a player with a few bad posts, or some flip floppy votes, or a badly phrased 'scum slip'. Easy targets give scum great excuses to get on a bandwagon. Instead we're going to lynch someone who is fairly active, but not saying anything worthwhile. With 5 posts per cycle it means we're going to have something to go on, however likely not till the later half of Day 1. Which leads to:


I just want to point out how important this is before i read thread.

What makes you think that there will be more than one faction?

I think it likely that scum players will not be able to pass the ring amongst each other. First, that defeats the ring passing mechanic of the game. Second, the OP specifically mentions that some roles will not be able to freely pass the ring. Of all the roles in the game, surely no evil LOTR character would have the willpower to give up the ring.
