New XKCD Forums

Woof!

Okay, for starters, I think only half my brain hates D1 now and I also have half identified the scum team from their confirmation posts (hint: Sabrar).

I’m a little concerned that this is going to be a giant dumpster fire of a play experiment, but at the end of the day, it’s FUN.

I’m really optimistic, I think Bessie’s really thorough analytical style plus what she says is Madge’s “smarter than she looks” nature will be really complementary. Hopefully you’ll have fun playing with me, too!

@Eido, we mostly know each other’s playstyles but I might be a bit of a wildcard, nobody knows what to expect from me (not even me!) as each half of my brain has a very, very different playstyle.

Because this wouldn’t be a post without random biographical asides, here you go: one of us just went to her first open mic night in a loooong time, and one of us got a cortisone injection for her hip so she's at home for two days with a cone of shame so she doesn't gnaw on the stitches!
Woof!

Woof!

Vaguely? It's been so long that I'm not sure how much I remember, if any at all. I'll try to go with what I do remember, when possible.

I knew it! It was the dot that betrayed me, wasn't it?

I'm familiar with messie (both halves), boomfrog, Wam, less so with heury and somitomi, even less so with the others. It's been some time.

For not even trying.

I don't think I've played with Philip before, but otherwise I think so.

Inside joke, Wam often got scumread and eliminated D1 on the old site.

What are you so excited about?

@Makhaira: could you please describe how you normally play as town? Do you have any strengths (e.g. good hunches, vote-analysis, etc)?

Is Boom usually low engagement at the beginning? We played together in Apex but he replaced in for Somi

No, he's usually not. He might try something different this game but that still falls way short.

Do you consider boom less engaging for posting one word than mark for not posting at all?

I'm about 97% certain that heury and Mark are not both scum. I'm about 88% certain that heury is not scum.

Oof, I'm only 66% sure Sabrar is town.

Why do you think there are 3 scum?

But Doctor! I am Pagliacci!

If I thought there were 3 scum I would have rounded up to 67%

By not both scum do you mean your ruling out bodies or think 1 of the pair definitely isn't?

Ruling out buddies. but doesn't the second option mean the same thing?

Sorry been a long 2 days of diy with another to go so my Brains not working. So yes it does.

so since i already vote do i still have to post every day?

Yes, that would be extremely helpful.

ok. i'm rather new to mafia, so not sure what i should post, i'll think of something though

You could vote someone else.

Your goal (if you're town) is:
1. figure out who the bad guys are
2. convince the rest of the town that you are one of them so you don't get eliminated by mistake

You might be able to do the first one while observing from the background, but for the second we definitely need your active participation as well.
