@Everyone: Who do you think is the highest priority target SIMPLY from their ability power?

I really don't think there is any 'priority target' given that people have free choice to prod and poke with diplomacy in their quicktopics.

You're against Water, aren't you.

First! This planet belongs to me. Since Im first.

And you're in the game. Welcome to Bay12!

Anywhoo, why aren't you asking people with that alleged first post of yours, hmm?

Still, don't put answers in a quote...within a quote :/ Not a good way for others to read it, or to format it.

@Nerjin
I think that attack is a protect. I think your water. And I think ur fishing for your enemies.

I think that attack is a protect because you specifically sad you arent using your protect

Jumpy there, sir. Why the huge leap into communication that you're ready to go all vague-definitive on the guy? You 'think' he's fishing, and so what? Anything for him to address?


Ford: Two allies, two enemies. How would you judge your target to be attacked, and how would you judge your target to be defended?

In the situation of lack of name-matching.

NQT:  Let's say your allies on quicktopic are codenamed and wish to only divulge their names if you do so yourself--how would you treat this? In the quicktopic and in the game, in searching for your allies/enemies?

Nerjin: Suppose an ally aligned with one of your enemies went all benevolent on you in the diplomacy-chat, how would you treat said ally?

@everyone
Anyone else get the feeling that one of us has an amnesiac like power? I feel like we know to much to thibk we know everything about the elements.

In addition to the above, why think this?

Im posting from a pgone until the 24th of may due to my current occupation forcing me to go to the middle of nowhere and babysit infantrymen. I wanted to edit that post but, I cant.

Why quote my question and then not answer it? I think that mainly becase Ive been reading the temple game. And while this isnt a bastard game (I dont think it is) It would give u an incentive to kill your allies.

I have a question for you. Pinay or pinoy, which one are  you?

[Tiruin]

Spoiler: Answer to last sentence of post above (click to show/hide)

Those are colloquial terms. Most of our language (argh colonialization) has been influenced by those who did take rule over our country. Spanish--pinay = female, pinoy = male, due to the spanish language usually putting the 'a's and 'o's, as far as my guesses go.

Depends on the person you're speaking to, actually. Pretty much diverse in the Philippines from area to area; opinions differ on what term to be called.

Me? I'd prefer being called a Filipina/Filipino, matters in how you say it--incidents have happened in the past wherein terms have been misused regarding us (like that whole point in a dictionary of regarding Filipinas/Pinays = Housemaids or domestic helpers >_>...)

...Err, however we use pinoy/pinay when we speak to each other in Tagalog...I'm really guessing the usage differs from person to person.

I'm not sure how foreigners term us, but here its usually Filipina/Filipino for female/male. We usually have the “a” ending sound for the female gender and the “o” ending sound for the male gender but that's diverging from the point. If you'd like to ask, go continue later after game.

I'd love to ask on why you're asking though

Apologies if my prods on that point may be offensive...

Try using the

Code: [Select]

[hr] to separate lines easily (there's another code for the equivalent of the enter key, but I forgot it...)

I can't get where the bolded part came from though.

NQT:  Let's say your allies on quicktopic are codenamed and wish to only divulge their names if you do so yourself--how would you treat this? In the quicktopic and in the game, in searching for your allies/enemies?

As I'm the mod, I will leave this to the players to figure out.

[Tiruin]

That should be for TheWetSheep :/

Sorry!

[Gankster78]

@Tiruin
Im a huge fan of pronouns, I use them whenever I can following a proper noun ofcourse. I asked the question that way because I was trying to be cool(for lack of s better term). So your gender would have helped me place the correct pronoun in the future.

Spoiler: "OOC" (click to show/hide)

 I once had a girlfrend who told me in tagalog I have a hard face. What does this mean? Additionally, I was wondering if the modesty and frank emotional display(they tell it like it is) was a cultural thing.

On offense taken ...
To be more clear about my question. Do you think there is more to this game than what we know via the mods spoilers?

[Tiruin]

Spoiler: OOC (click to show/hide)

I'd ask what she said in Tagalog, because I can't recall any of our idioms going by that way

Maybe hard-headed? Hmm, I need to know what she said to tell you. Also, yes, that's all cultural--but mainly how Filipinos are raised. See, we put value to honor, and its loss--shame--in high regard. We're frank, in telling what we think about others. And we have that spirit of modesty (shrugging off achievements [though lording it with friends ;P] and the like)

But that's just one bit of my interpretation...

And no, I don't think there's any more to this game. It isn't particularly a bastard, compared to how the players do about their wincons, actually.

So...seeing that you're new to forum mafia--people ask questions here; questions pertinent to their wincon in the longterm, or to strike up conversation [which should have some relevance to the game and not purely banter].

So here are some queries:
> You've two allies, how would you value one over the other? Would you aim for a dual win--meaning, you and one of your allies winning?

> What would be your plan in scumhunting in this game? Anything you'd be doing to out your enemy, and your ally without relying on quicktopic?

[Gankster78]

Spoiler: "OOC" (click to show/hide)

I had a feeling it was that way. Hmmm Im a have to fall for a Filipina and make little black island babies someday.

@Tiruin
Im not that new to mafia I just find it hard to take the mafia approach to this game. As far as discerning the elements im sure ill come up with something. as the game goes on.

What elements do you think have the best chance at a duo victory?

[Captain Ford]

NQT: Does the game end when a player wins?

[Captain Ford]

NQT: Can you cast votes on yourself? Can you cast both your attack and protect votes on the same person?

[Captain Ford]

EBWOP
NQT: Can you cast votes on yourself? (No) Can you cast both your attack and protect votes on the same person?

[notquitethere]

Ford
The game ends when someone has won. You can attack and protect the same person. You can neither attack nor protect yourself.

[Nerjin]

For Ford

Spoiler: Additional Rules (click to show/hide)

• All valid Attack votes must be contain the name of the person the player wishes to attack in red, like: notquitethere, or attack notquitethere
• All valid Protect votes must contain the name of the person the player wishes to attack in green, like: notquitethere, or protect notquitethere
• Unattack, unvote, unvote or unprotect to remove your votes.
• You can protect and attack the same player
• Whether you used your ability in a round will only be revealed when you die or when you win
• The round ends when all votes are given- though if no one is dead at that point the next round starts with all votes reset
• Modifying posts in this thread is forbidden. Do what you like on quicktopic
  
• Private messaging is not allowed outside of the quicktopics
• Roleclaims, fakeclaims and claiming to be another player on quicktopic are all acceptable
• If a player doesn't place both their votes in two days since a round began, they'll get a prod from the mod, four days and they'll be replaced
• A round ends when everyone has placed both their votes, so all further votes after this point and before the mod has announced the results of that round will not be counted.
• No quoting of private messages from the mod is allowed.
• If the game ends in a stalemate three rounds in a row, everyone loses.

Spoiler: * (click to show/hide)

In the sense that it is a forum game with votes, informed minorities, role-flips and deception. It's more a game of alliance and betrayal than scum hunting per se.

[Captain Ford]

Small Issue: The rules state the game will end if a round ends in a stalemate three times, but that can't actually happen, since a round only ends if a player has more attacks-protects than anyone else.

Wait...does that mean only visible attacks-protects?

[Captain Ford]

@Everyone: Who do you think is the highest priority target SIMPLY from their ability power?

Wood. Wood has by far the greatest potential to cause disruption.

Ford: Two allies, two enemies. How would you judge your target to be attacked, and how would you judge your target to be defended?

In the situation of lack of name-matching.

I'd pick one of my allies to side with and try to kill off the other as quickly as possible. That way my other ally can't betray me without losing.

@Nerjin: I could not for the life of me find that stuff in the rules until you quoted it. Meh.
