Really I think the whole goal is to discover what Meph's solution is.

[Mephansteras]

Quarantine Count
Tomasque: notquitethere




Active Cycle 1 ends ~5pm Pacific Tuesday

[origamiscienceguy]

Oh! Quarantine means vote. That makes alot more sense now.

[Tomasque]

Wait! I'm here!

OSG, indubitably. We should be alert for post-related shenanigans: especially appearing and disappearing votes.

Tomasque, How do you intend to find scum today?

Toony, what power would you put in the game if you were building a game with a post-editing mechanic?

I intend to lynch scum who shamelessly try to get an investigator to out themselves, my dear notquitethere.

Strategy Alpha is a go, beginning operation. Strategy Beta is in progress. Strategy theta is forming. Strategy delta is being written up given information gained in these first couple hours.

Peradon: Given that posts may be changed by the mod, when do you think it will happen? What do you intend to do to find out what has changed?

Oragami: What should we do if anyone lurks for too long?

Shakerag: Neat to see you outside a BYOR. What attracted you here, and what strategies do you intend to use in this set-up?

[origamiscienceguy]

Oragami: What should we do if anyone lurks for too long?

Quarantine them for proper removal.

Startup complete. Virus hunt initiated.

Everybody: Do you think that Meph's ability to edit posts will have a profound impact on the game?

Of course it will. If it didnt, then this would probably be just any other semi-bastard mafia game.

Peradon: Given that posts may be changed by the mod, when do you think it will happen? What do you intend to do to find out what has changed?

I think it will happen during the night or after the lynch. My initial thoughts are that when we quarantine someone, all the "Data" produced by that someone will be expunged, which means that we wont be able to do analyses as well. There is also the possibility that the Virus has the ability to change the post of someone...

Oragami: What should we do if anyone lurks for too long?

Quarantine them for proper removal.

Are you an advocate of Lynching all Lurkers? Do you have experience with this technique working?

Wait! I'm here!

Tomasque, what makes you think that NQT was fishing for an investigator claim?

TheBiggerFish: Can I call you TBF for short...?

TheBiggerFish: What do you think about the maxim "Lynch all Lurkers"?

Everyone: What are your general thoughts about Gambits?

[notquitethere]

I intend to lynch scum who shamelessly try to get an investigator to out themselves, my dear notquitethere.

I think there's been a misunderstanding here. All town are trying to hunt scum, not just those with investigation powers. I wasn't fishing in any way.

Toony, noted. Do you think TBF has a post restriction or is just messing with us?

TBF, Post a code snippet if you're just messing with us.

Peradon, I have seen the error of my ways and I'm no longer interested in fancy play gambits. Good town play is about building trust,  which erratic moves selfishly undermine.

[Tomasque]

Sorry, I kinda overreacted. Frankly, my scum radar isn't as good as other people's, so currently everyone looks pretty innocent.

[Deus Asmoth]

Regarding gambits, I'd say they're a tool to be used like anything else, even if they are a bit of a double edged sword. It's important to weigh the information you think you'll gain against the reaction other players will have against it.

OSG, I'd guess that editing posts will have a fairly substantial impact. It seems kind of pointless otherwise. With any luck it won't remove evidence that a case is using though.

TBF and Tomasque, I don't think I've played with you before. How much experience do you have?

NQT, you haven't run very many gambits (two that I've played with). What convinced you that they were a bad idea?

[Tomasque]

I've had a decent amount of experience, but nearly nothing on this forum.

[Shakerag]

Hello errybody.  For those of you who haven't played with me before, I'm pretty much constantly posting from profession (PFP), so I will almost certainly have the lowest post count.  However I try to at least put in one good-sized post per day.  I also liberally use sarcasm.

Well webadict might be dead, so I'm going to need to branch out.  Meph is one mean fothermucker when it comes to making games, and it's a semi-bastard, so I just had to check this one out.

Strategy wise, going from previous Meph (semi-)bastard games, we really, really, really need to figure out the bastard mechanics or we're going to get screwed over.  The most classic example of this is Bastard Paranormal 1.  Town lynched scum 2 out of 3 days and lost, because the real scum was not the apparent scumteam.

I hope you have a legitimate posting restriction on your role, because after Lenglon's bullshit in BYOR14 I'm not going to let that fly.


Peradon: Metaphorically speaking, do you think it is easier to catch scum with sugar or with vinegar?
Teneb: Which players do you think are most likely going to be the spiders in this game, spinning us all into their web?
flabort: Have you made chop suey (so to speak) of the mechanics in a previous bastard game?
origamiscienceguy: Do you think there are any players who add toxicity to this game such that it will make it harder to play (and figure out the mechanics)?
Deus Asmoth: Do you think it is an aerial fancy to assume we'll figure out the bastard mechanics in this game?
notquitethere: Do you think your standard vote analysis will give you as much of an innervision as to who is scum in this game as compared to a non-bastard game?
TheDarkStar: If you could Boom! Headshot! someone right now, who would it be?
ToonyMan: Nice responses.  Are you going to ask a question today as well?
TheBiggerFish: Who would you most like to hypnotize and ensure they're on your team this game?
Tomasque: Would you feel it is a sad and lonely day to be town?  That is, to say, do you think scum has an advantage in this game?  Or perhaps some third-party?

Everyone: Do you think asking a question to "everyone" is a bullshit and lazy tactic and that you refuse to answer such questions as well?

[ToonyMan]

Toony, noted. Do you think TBF has a post restriction or is just messing with us?

Confirming...

Confirming....
Confirming.........

He's messing with us.

ToonyMan: Nice responses.  Are you going to ask a question today as well?

Who knows...?  La~la~la~la~la~~

Everyone: Do you think asking a question to "everyone" is a bullshit and lazy tactic and that you refuse to answer such questions as well?

Affirmative.

[Deus Asmoth]

ShakeThe OP said that figuring out the mechanics of this game would be necessary to win, so I guess it must be possible once some information starts getting revealed.

Do you think that replying to rhetorical questions is pointless?
