That conversation is priceless.

[Bookthras]

Seriously, letting BMless newbies into serious games is a terrible idea.

I've never played a BM.

Neither did I. For my troubles I got lynched D1 in the first game I joined

I won my first game by lynching a mafia member

To quote from the movie Dogma: "That's why he's the King, and you're a schmuck."

Seriously Dariush, I see where you're coming from, but generalisations are dangerous and often incorrect. Hapah's first ever game was a Roguelike, and he did way better than you, lived to the end, and won. UristMcNoble's first (and only!) game was Politibastard, and he did way better than you, lived to the end, and won. So lay off and let the moderator moderate however he sees fit. When the game starts, you are free to vote your conscience.


But also Freshmaniscoolman: There is a Beginners' Mafia now in signups here, you may wish to consider joining that in addition to or instead of this game. If nothing else, please be sure to read the first post in that topic in detail, and ask questions.

Yeah it should really help. Besides, I hear the person modding that game is a pretty cool guy.

Back than people who were playing since the creation of the board were playing for less time. Therefore, the gap between them and newbies was lesser than it is today.

My first (joined, not replaced in) mafia game never ended N3 after I broke it.  True story.

Yeah, wow. That is one thoroughly broken game.

So you were the captain and you got lynched so your knowledge isn't gotten by mutineers. So?

[Captain Ford]

If there is a tie then any mafia member can send me a PM to choose who dies.

I just noticed this part of the rules. Is this a standard part of Leafsnail's games?

Because I quite like it. It's a very clever way to resolve a tie vote, and it's an even stronger incentive for town to avoid a tie situation.

Spoiler: Tangent (click to show/hide)

Although I can see an odd corner case where there's a tie, but all the lynch options are mafia. When the victim flips, the town then knows that the other possible victim must also be scum.

...oh. Unless the mafia did that intentionally to cause the town to mislynch on the next day. That would be incredibly devious.

...

...yeah. It's an excellent incentive for the town to avoid tie votes.

Captain's can control who gets lynched or not.  If you actually read the last post you could see that.   After the mod saw that he probably realized that The Captain (which is a confirmed town role) could just completely control the game.  I would be able to order the entire game around and the mutineers wouldn't stand a chance.  I can't be night-killed because this was back when PMs were okay and I had everyone's role info (being confirmed town they better damn send it).  I had at least two guards protecting me so and I would be able to confirm everyone's actions as well.  And thus the game never ended.

Yeah, I thought that too. Except that when the end of the day came, ToonyMan actually did prevent his own lynch. With the conversion dealt with, he was bulletproof. Mod locked the thread for night and then never unlocked it.

[Dariush]

So you got an insanely overpowered role and figured out how to use it. Yay.

[Leafsnail]

The standard tie resolution is no lynch, but in a nightless game that allows the town to stall forever.  This is an encouragement to reach a consensus.

[TolyK]

Eh. 4 more?

[Dariush]

I still urge you to reconsider letting a BMless newbie in.
