In terms of lyching, this game seems to indicate that there are a lot of powers flying around out there, so just lyching inactives right off the bat may accidently result in killing a helpful tool for us. We've got plenty of time until the election is over, and I agree with Radfield in that we should use this time to get a full discussion in. And with that, I'm afraid I must be off to work for many hours, be back on later today! | ||

AcrossFiveJulys (AFJ) nominated Amber, did so after AL posted some insight about mass roleclaiming. johnnyspazz nominated YellowInk after seeing YI try to break the game. If we do indeed find one of our nominees or infact the elected official to be scum, we now have a highly likely scenario of connecting the DE that nominated them. Any other nominations as of now? We've still got a day to decide and there are people yet to be heard from. Thoughts, opinions? | ||

That's a good question. I think Amber has a pretty good grasp on things. YI was in the last game, and played an aggressive townie style that had me fooled, so I just don't have a good enough read on him to vote for him. So as of now I like AL's posting the most, with Radfield in a close second. And oh yeah, forgot to list Hesmyrr in the nominees, sorry! He was nominated by Radfield by the way, amending my prior list. | ||

Might cause the Mafia to slip us as they would have to make up different identities that are good people in Harry Potter. Any inconsistencies or doubles would point towards suspicion. | ||

At some point in the game there is mass role claiming. Assuming all townies are truthful and mafia lying, that immediately brings the number of suspicious people down to #mafia x2. I'm not saying it's impossible to have a game like this balanced, but it takes a lot away from the game when, for instance here, there's only 10 people worth scouring for mafia and you effectively have 15 confirmed townies. To offset this, when there are characters in a given game, one common solution is to give the mafia a 'safe list' of what they can role claim without worry of being contested. There's still the problem here where say a player claims Ron Weasly and goes uncontested, they are nearly a confirmed townie because that role was almost certainly included in the game design. A crafty mod could leave one or two of these out just for the mafia's benefit though. To follow through on this with what you've already posted as well as preserve some integrity of mafia role claims, you could just list 25 town aligned roles and have 5 that just don't get assigned to town (and given to mafia as their safe list). I'm sure there are other ways to balance this as well. I just see complete uncontested character lists given at the start of game as a huge town advantage. Just my thoughts on the matter. I will not be accepting name claims to occur in this game unless I am sure it will be balanced or your role PM specifically states otherwise. You may spell claim, or claim whatever nonsense you want, but try not to break the game. "Not Slytherin,eh?" said the small voice. "Are you sure? You could be great, you know, it's all here in your head, and Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness, no doubt about that--- no? Actually I believe the rule change says that we can roleclaim, with the exception of masons On June 21 2010 07:44 Bill Murray wrote: To clear up some things: i'll make a thread for mayoral voting you may nameclaim or roleclaim just don't claim masons or I will modkill you keep it clean, please Whether or not it is a good idea remains in the air, but I do believe that this more recent post from BM states that we can roleclaim. | ||

Oh and about the whole red/blue spells, it would seem that town has to have some access to red spells, what with DT's and Vigs alone. Seems we would have a very difficult game ahead of us if we had our hands tied from using those at all. | ||

This would show us two other players' roles potentially (Radfield and thegilaboy). And what role of mine would that show? I'm actually strongly considering changing my vote, after thinking about this whole double ticket sort of deal. YellowInk has a cleaner grasp it seems, and he is against the entire double running thing (like me). So yeah, going to be switching my vote now, but I was just curious as to what role you think that would reveal. | ||

If you're going to switch go for it. I don't really care who's the governor... the second they pardon we're going to be suspicious. Once you raise the red flags it's going to only stall mafia (potentially) for an extra day, so it's only as strong as the person who's behind the position makes it. With that said the votes 4-4 between radfield and YI... if I move my vote then YI is the governor... any last suggestions? Well Jugan just voted for Yellow, so I guess you don't have to switch if you don't want now | ||

I for one am wondering how lenient the rules are in the OP; this is the vaguest game I've played. That's my bad. I went out on that bike ride and forgot that the voting ended a lot earlier than the last game I was in. Then when I was responding to Amber I missed the deadline by 2 minutes for my vote, my bad!  | ||

Only made sense he'd be able to kill, as you need to be able to defend against the Death Eaters, so it only made sense he was a Vig. If we name claim, and someone name claims say Harry Potter, well it only makes sense that he has a spell. Same with say Dumbledore, and other important characters. Agreed. Some of the characters would be giveaways if you are well versed in your HP lore, and then some of them would not. As a whole now, I'm not sure a mass nameclaim is the best course of action, as we have lost 2 blues in a flash. Sure we could hope that the mafia slip up on an inconstancy or the even more unlikely double name claim, but at this point it doesn't seem worth it. | ||

Hey we had a wicked storm yesterday that uprooted trees and everything around here as well. You in the Chicago land area? Probably not but worth a shot to see lol As for Ludwig, looks like the guy is going to get modkilled unfortunately.  He seems so incredibly out of the loop that it's almost not worth looking at him anymore, like you said | ||

On June 25 2010 18:53 lakrismamma wrote: Im off for the midsummer party. -sorry I didnt have time for post analysis. Im back on Sunday hope you catch some scums by then! The problem with this is he's predicting inactivity for himself, which is altogether bad for the town, and he'll be missing the vote. Voting tendencies of individuals is a big indicator/clue of their allegiance, and with him missing it entirely that's a big deal in my mind. Also, he could have thrown up his vote before posting that he will be leaving, just so that he will have performed his duty. And then of course inactivity is bad for the town and bad for the game. So the whole avoiding the voting process and going inactive make him a pretty good lynch target in my mind. | ||

I agree that we can't say definitely scum, and don't mean to be coming off as sketchy. I just grabbed a lunch break at work and wanted to make sure I got my vote in so that I didn't miss the deadline, which is possible if I waited until I got off. | ||

So that means I am going to switch out my placeholder since I made it in time. I'm leaning toward Elyas here. As I was writing this I refreshed the page and saw that JeeJee has gone apeshit with his posts, telling people to change their vote and not to vote for zeks, while claiming not to know anything about Zeks. That is just some crazy posting that seems to come out of left field. JeeJee is leading the crusade against Elyas, and while I don't support Elyas per se, JJ's actions seem a bit over the top. Either he is just trying to rally against Elyas because he wants us to kill a townie (if JJ is mafia), or JJ might know something we don't know. Would like to know that soon JJ, while there is still time to change the votes. Also, Ludwig has contributed absolutely nothing to this thread whatsoever, please tell me he is either going to be modkilled or replaced. | ||

Or they are mafia.... but I doubt Jeejee would post so plainly if that was the case. Seems so obvious if he is right? If it seems too good to be true and all that jazz perhaps | ||

I believe it's safe to do so because : - If someone else claims Auror, You've got yourself a mafia, either me or him. - If I'm not the Auror, the other auror should claim. Why ? Same reasons. If you lose the auror and kill a mafia, it's still good for you. I'm almost sure I'm gonna die tonight now. If I don't, you should consider lynching me then. Don't take risks. If that was too early, well you tried to target me, and I would have died anyways so... The other Auror is dead, I was him and the Dayvig and was killed night 1, but I have replaced Subversion and am back. Just so you know. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=131008¤tpage=16#312 | ||

On June 27 2010 22:14 Radfield wrote: What post are you agreeing with here Opz? Where did Jeejee push for Lakrismamma? Yeah did I miss something? I don't see a post with JeeJee pushing for LM specifically. Just posts saying that he has indeed found Nagini and that we still need to find a hidden horocrux. Confused by this though: On June 27 2010 22:27 Radfield wrote: Alternate theory: You cannot communicate with Jeejee outside of the thread, which means you are mafia, because you KNOW that lakris is nagini, and just accidentally outed yourself. I presume this is not the case, but hopefully Jeejee can confirm. Unless I'm completely missing a post by JeeJee, but I sure can't find it if I am. Why would Opz push for Nagini's lynch if he is DE like your alternate theory states? I don't think I'm missing any strange rule here, but I'm pretty sure the DEs and Voldy want those horocruxes to stay alive. | ||
