I'm going to be away until Saturday. Finals. I'll just leave one question:
Everyone: Summarize your approach to Mafia in one sentence.
Joke answer: There's a needle in a haystack, so bring a big magnet and a team of dogs.
Serious answer: Like a courtroom, but everyone's judge, accused, and prosecution; so come prepared to defend, prosecute, and judge.
-snip-
Why the fishing so early? I call your claiming fishing because I almost told you about my role in response to some of those claims.
Like falacy pointed out and you admitted, this is certainly five whole servings of WIFOM. I'm wondering why you did it, but also apprehensions to vote you, due to your claims #s 2 and 3. And even if those are false, #4 makes it somewhat unlikely that we'd get any information if we did lynch you. #5 cannot be false, at least, due to a paradox if it were. #1 worries me a little, not for my own safety, but simply because there are probably a lot of people with night-actions. Probably everyone has one, in fact, I'd guess.
To Everyone:
Do you think a large number of shenanigans are going to happen in this game's nights?
Answer unclear, try again later.
(I can't say for sure, it seems likely given the nature of BYO, but ZU could have made most of the roles something low-powered)
Flarbot: How would you play a survivor in such a power-heavy game?
Same way I'd play town: Try to avoid being lynched over nothing, try to find threats to my well being, TRY to not do anything that causes anyone with a night-kill to want to kill me.
...urp. Why does the entire metagame here have to revolve around everybody judging everybody else on how they've acted in past games? This is why I shied away from the subforum last time I tried to get into Mafia.
To be fair there's only three people that I can remember well enough to judge based on old games. Everyone else I have to judge in a vacuum. And I honestly try to give those other three my best shot at judging only in that game, not based on old games.
Those three people being tiruin, NQT, and Shakerag. That's in ascending order. I know Tiruin's going to give novices a hard time, not because she means to, but because of mutual misunderstandings. I know NQT's always going to pull something unexpected out of a hat, usually some form of analysis or something to drive that analysis. And I know Shakerag is going to be rude and grumpy, with a bit of silly thrown in. Do those sound like traits that I can judge whether or not those three are mafia based on anyways?
I found it's easier just to ignore previous games.
-snop-
Dammit with all these claims. At least this is just a way of saying "Hey everyone, I'm going to test NQT's claims tonight!".
This is also why I called NQT's claims fishing, too. It got you to admit you have an investigative night power - or at least a night power of some sort, it may be a kill instead given claim 2.
RVS QuestionsTiruin Let's say you had an ability that could silence someone for the rest of the day and keep them from using day abilities. Who would you use it on, if you had to use it right now?
Teneb If you had an effigy of me, what would you be doing with it?
TheDarkStar Same question that I gave Tiruin.
Deus Asmoth Same questions that I gave Jack AT.
FalacyofUrist Same question that I gave Teneb.
Lidku What do you think of the game so far? Does it look as "not hard" as you hoped, or a bit harder?
Jack AT-ST What purpose do the questions to TDS, DA, and FoU have? Why would I ask them?
Tawarochir What kind of question would you least like to answer?
4maskwolf I don't hate you. Are you still there? Activated. Who are you?Notquitethere If your role had a form of units that you can gain through the game, what unit would you most like out of the following list: Dollars, Shakerags, photographs, data samples, mana points, minions, shadow clones.
