hi moody!!!! i miss you

Zest

Spoiler (Show/Hide)

Sorry Santy, skill issue. I'm town.

It was a pleasure working with you though. We'll get this.

Zesty Tales (Santy's tribute post)

Spoiler (Show/Hide)

Santy, I loved you
Or so I would say
If I truly believe that
Things would be this way

Alas, I'm your enemy,
And so I suppose
I must hate your face,
Your eyes and your nose.

But that's not so, for my team are all dead
And so, I thought, let's help town in their stead

The problem with that
Was one simple thing:
My world is so large
And this game, trifling.

After all, I can't post in the day
Can't discuss with Sabrar
In short, I can't play

It is what it is, and it is what I've got
But while I'll help if I can, town I am not

This poem was created with love and with care
By Madge's own brain, without AI to impair

Hope you and your father are doing alright. I'm keeping you in my thoughts.

Thank you, I appreciate you. Thankfully he got antibiotics within the same day, and that helped.

I'm Zestaria or Berseria cop, I learn which game the target's character is from.

Oh, I thought this was wrong but I reread my PM carefully and you are right. Woomp woomp again. Madge's claim was impossible.

Incorrect actually. I can't say if Maotelus was in the game what his LOC and Shepard alignments would be cause I'm not sure, but with that name he'd be from Zestiria and that's a damn good argument that the entire point of the name change was asserting his identity therefore he should only be considered allied with velvet if named Laphicet.

Maotelus also makes perfect sense for a miller.

If someone from both games existed I'd assume the cop role would not imply an exclusive OR. But maybe that assumption is too strong.

@BF (avoiding pings): I apologize for my tunnel whether you're scum or not. Unfortunately what you said about having too few scum-candidates is exactly true from my pov as well, in my mind you simply have to be scum by PoE.

I think the head butt protocol is real. We eventually get to a point where PoE the other has to be scum and both challenge each other. Then through that challenge we see the others sincere towniness. We've done the same dance many times. It was hard to fake when I was scum.

Vote: Boomfrog

Obviously he's never going to trust me ever again after PYP, so let's just get him out now and avoid the clash altogether.

Lol, nah. In retrospect you were obviously scum once you voted for me. I was just so frasseled by RL stuff and seven's stubbornness that one more "town failure" slipped under the radar. You are a better scum hunter that Seven and town!you would have voted for fonti or cheese.

(It's kinda fun to tease Seven when he can't respond. I guess I'll see his comment about this in a few months.)

YOU CANT SEE ME

I almost woke up my wife while holding in my laughter.

I probably could've worded it a bit better, but the intention was closer to main game.

So Maotelus would be Zestiria but Laphicet would be Bersaria. Similarly Seraph Eizen would be Bersaria but Dragon Eizen would be Zestiria. "Both" positively identifies a few characters, 2 of whom are definitely town, 1 of whom is probably town, and one who is town in Bersaria and an obvious non town compatible Indy in Zestiria.

I think it creates a situation that allows for more creative fakeclaiming if results are given before Shepard/LoC alignments are claimed. Understand, I was going for a similar power level to a tracker, just in a flavorful way, you can similarly try to creatively work around a tracker, while still allowing for "if mafia gets hit by both, they're screwed".

Somi did ask and I did clarify that for characters from multiple games, they'd have to use their judgement.

EGW's role only checked LOC alignment so it didn't have to worry about both.

But that's why I went for it like I did, only giving one main alignment gamewise, and characters that were Bersaria had clauses to positively identify themselves as such in their role PMs.

Would anyone be opposed to all mafia games/threads to be moved to it's own sub-forum inside of Forum Games?

As it was in days of yore, so should it be now.

Not me, but the real question is if our admin overlord has changed his mind since the last time we asked

So heury, fatherhood going to allow you enough time to mod that Alien Warfare game you were suggesting earlier?

Oh I definitely have the time to mod something and have created the Alien Warfare game, though if people are interested, I'd be more interested in modding that Survivor Org I suggested earlier. I have the game about 90% ready. And since it's usually a litter longer commitment since there'd likely be an average of 1 elim a week, I want to have it feel lower effort for the most part so it doesn't have to feel like such a big commitment. So technically another mafia game could coherently run if people don't want to waitt for the Survivor Org to end.

I'm sure we can bribe our overlord, for the greater good.

We don't even need a subtforum we can just have a forum-forum
