how many players???? Run it!!!!

Look like I ran it with 9 players, but I vaguely tested some ideas for it for up to 16. I can look into putting it together if people are interested in a low-posting game after Adum's game. I have some notes about things I'd want to do differently so I wouldn't run the exactly the same setup, which is just as well since more than half of the players who played the original setup are still regulars on the site (including you, Madge).

[madge]

wait i played in it? I have no memory whatsoever of a game run e ntirely over PM

[LaserGuy]

My notes say you did. Player list I have is Zen, somitomi, Sabrar, wam, heury, Madge, SirG, Vicarin, jimbob.
Game was from 2018 and it was pretty short so not that surprising if you don't remember.

[madge]

Man what happened to Vicarin? Was it him who I made ragequit mafia forever by being sneaky in a game of ghost?

If it was the first one (secret word English), you being sneaky shouldn't have been what he was mad about, it should have me trying to be overly clever with the clue.

[madge]

were you the one who said it was related to angles?

[madge]

mpolo said it was in moby-dick and my boyfriend-at-the-time got a script to get every single 7-letter word from moby-dick which helped immensely with guessing

[moody7277]

were you the one who said it was related to angles?

I said it was opposite of Amish

[madge]

oh that one confused me, i had no knowledge of anything amish-related at the time

Was it Vicarin or Vytron who I'm thinking of? I think it was actually Vytron?

[Seven]

I think Vicarin’s most recent game was Stranger Things

[somitomi]

Yeah, I think darkest dungeon had a character limit because I remember short hand words bring used. And I think it was only neighborhoods with no main thread? I recall it being fun.

The poetry one rings a bell, but I don't remember how it played out.

I vaguely remember both.
Darkest Dungeon had no game thread at all, it was all in messages mediated by mods (through PMs) and IIRC we could decide what to sign each message with and who to message. It was pretty tricky because even as mafia you were quite in the dark about what was happening. And yeah, Seven convinced me to claim and it blew up in our face like immediately?
I remember little about Poetry Slam other than it happened and we had a limited number of "tweets" (140 characters each) and one big post allotted for each day phase and we very quickly developed shorthand to compress what we wanted to say. And I think BoomFrog wrote like an actual poem?

[Seven]

I tend to be a bit risk-averse in general, the one memory I have of fakeclaiming early is when Seven convinced me to use my fakeclaim early (in a Darkest Dungeon game way back on the old forum) and it ended in disaster for us.

And yeah, Seven convinced me to claim and it blew up in our face like immediately?

IM SORRY

[somitomi]

IM SORRY

Well you'd better be

Just kidding, I didn't mean to harp on it.
Would be interesting to read again, shame it's all gone

I remember some poetry game were everyone was given a post restriction of only posting in a specific poetry style (haiku, ect)

No reread for me tonight, maybe just some flavor checking. Plenty of time for that if I happen to be alive D4.

[AdumbroDeus]

tales, not actually game related but to be safe

Since my Elim flavor has Bop's character, who is basically a deity, literally chasing the party away, I now have the G_d's not dead song stuck in my head, but replacing in Bop's name.

*Sings*
Bop's not dead, He's surely alive
He's livin' on the inside, roarin' like a lion

You now have insight into how my mind works, tremble in terror mortals, you shall go mad with the knowledge.

Gonna make a legacy since I didnt made it before the hammer (Skill Issue should've checked the thread earlier)

Bop flip should confirm multiball, meaning last one is another Supression mafia (by flavour it should be Arthur ig)
We have EGW/Sabrar/Phillip/Somi/Boom/JC/Heury .
Sabrar is just, always town. No way they bus their partner that way. Only chance of them being scum was if Bop was really Indy and them as possible last Malevolence mafia.
Heury *should* be confirmed as town soon enough as well. Thematically their kill fits with the Innonimat though, but what they've said of being able to self clear with bessie chat should be good to clear them. Plus setup-wise I could see that role just being town with how it interacts with the traffic analyser as a false positive, and rule 12 in specific should hint the death masonizer being true. There should be no need to have that chat if they were scum I feel like? And also, Bop was very interested in pushing heury today as bad, so yeah I dont feel like they are aligned.

Phillip I just reads as town. Complete town Innocence still highly rep my townread from how hippo played. It was just that clearing to me will do 100 skill issue laps or something if they flip mafia.

Frog to be mafia should have some sort of Godfather kind of deal? At least would need to check flavor to see if its possible that Artur was aligned with a Lord Of Calamity in the past/future. But socially they felt very much towny D2. D3 they didnt do much and is a point against them, but I could see the angle of just town getting easy because game seems to be solved after Sabrar outed Bop.

EGW as mafia dont think is that obtuse or unaware of Wam, or goes against the grain in that sense looking that bad. I think they are town but tbh could be surprised here. But gth I dont think so

Somi is a step below because I dont fully buy Bubblez AtE at EoD1 as towny, and just more genuinely frustrated. But regardless, I think they have equity with Bop. (Bop not clearing them D2 when everyone else was doing so, to then hold up on a much charitable read with nothing to back it off D3 is surely something)
JC is just pure process of elimination + the indy focus still being real weird.


Dont think EGW ever~ gets killed here by mafia. He is either scum, or a rather misyeetable town with how off he has been. And also lol, they are supposedly going to be guarded by me. Sabrar is the most valuable town both in terms of being cleared with last flip + overall solving and possibility to lead town. In my head mafia biggest threats rn are heury+Sabrar, and with the current plan though its great to clear JC , they are very exposed. So im going out of the loop and doing a bold move. Dont think it will make much of an impact , but just to be safe . I think town odds of winning are already high, and keeping Sabrar alive its just the best to secure the win regardless of what tomfoolery happens

Probably not the same poetically post-restricted game that I'm thinking of which was modded by AngrySquirrel.

Zesty Tales

Well, I guess that flip means Madge wasn't lying about the Mark of Suppression either. I love the fact that would have been scum on scum violence N1, but since I have no idea what it's supposed to do (not did Madge tbh), that'll have to wait for AAR.

Oh Bop, I truly feel your pain re the taunting spoilers, but at least you may now be released to read them while I linger on in my stumpdom.

I'm so tempted to track Phillip instead of body guarding somi. But who knows, maybe somi really will be targeted.

Track is essentially a cop at this point.

[Seven]

btw @ Boom Adum is going to start reading (listening) to Worm soon. I plan on doing Worm Mafia sometime in the distant future. We'll have to plan it for when you're open to playing mafia.

[madge]

oh I've been meaning to read Worm at some point, I've heard it's good!

[AdumbroDeus]

oh I've been meaning to read Worm at some point, I've heard it's good!

We need to get a reading group together!

[madge]

ngl that'd be awesome

Let's convince everyone else that hasn't read to do it with us!
