My crack theory was that the psychic presence in the role PM was simply making us think we were exterminators, even if we weren’t.

I'm sorry, the what?

... So, anyway, let's lynch heydude6.

Since theory 2 didn't work can we try theory 1 now? prayer circle guys

But, Caz,

Meph, is it possible for players to have hidden win conditions?

All players current win conditions are accurately reflected in their Role PM.

How does holding hands and singing kumbaya get me closer to my win condition of everybody else dying, which Meph confirmed was accurate?

He was also the least interesting person you could have killed as far as "is there something more going on with this game".  He was the first one to mention the eleven exterminator intel and thus the most likely to be exactly what he said on the tin, ridiculous paranoia aside.

Who would have been a better person to shoot?

From your perspective, not his.

Ideological purity

wtf game of mafia am I playing

Ideological purity was my biggest reason for killing Tric though. He was opposed to mass suicide so I thought I’d eliminate someone who could potentially go against the plan, just like webadict is planning to do. I was honestly thinking of killing you too Caz, but I didn’t want to risk you having anti-tech.

Why TricMagic over any of the other people who weren't fully subscribed to the mass suicide strategy? Was it because he was voting you?

Works for me. heydude6.

Current win condition implies that the win conditions are changeable. What if they change to something like "You win if TricMagic is alive and x is dead"? We could be throwing away chances to win already. I don't think a little delay on everyone starting to kill each other is much to ask for given that we have enough firepower to wipe ourselves out in one night phase if we really put our minds to it.

Caz... Do you have a win condition that doesn't work with this?

I also no longer feel like Plasma Bombing Jim... He's too eager to be Plasma Bombed... But, I also want to Plasma Bomb him because he's so willing to be Plasma Bombed.

Hmm... HMMMMMMMMMMMM.

You don't know?

Please enlighten me.

[Jim Groovester]

If your role PM matches mine you should have a throwaway line about psychic interference for why you have a mind shield.

Unless your role PM doesn't match mine.

[Shakerag]

Jim Groovester:

Yes, I have that as well.  It just sounded like heydude6 was actually contacted by some psychic presence.



Hmm.  Here's a wild thought.  Pretend for a minute everyone was given a mind shield.  What if part of the bastardry is related to that psychic interference and is part of the puzzle?

Meph:  Assume a player has a mind shield item.  Can they de-activate it for a night?  Can they discard the item completely?

[Shakerag]

I'm writing this one out here so if I'm wrong we can point back to it and laugh but ...   I'm assuming a specific tech item is not needed to unwrap/solve any further bastadardry (assuming it exists) in the game since we have to submit tech choices on day one. 

Unless Meph is a fan of those old Sierra point-and-click games where if you didn't keep a random item during the whole game you can't win the boss fight or something evil and ridiculous. 

[Luckyowl]

Heydude6 I think you chose the wrong person to kill. This is what I think. You killed Tric because he voted you. You panicked and killed him. Then you tried to act like you did it to gain 'information' when honestly TricMagic was just a paranoid Termie. If you wanted to kill anyone, it should've been Webadict, he wanted to kill himself,  and made a wild claim that he set an assassin bot to kill him. But where is it? no where. Killing Webadict would've been the best option. No one would've I thought it was you and we would've thought that Webadict went through with his plan.

Anybody whose name wasn't Tricmagic or webadict.  While there's a certain logic behind "Tricmagic won't let go of the scumteam paranoia, might as well get rid of him so he doesn't screw up the plan" we could always lynch him if he was being a problem and his death wasn't likely to tell us anything.  My list of "people who, even if the game is completely fucky, are almost certainly regular exterminators" was, at the time, webadict and Tric (it now includes you and I'm contemplating adding Caz to it) so I would have killed anyone outside of that on the off chance that I hit someone with a role outside of our current understanding of the game.

[Jim Groovester]

Hmm... HMMMMMMMMMMMM.

When are you ever going to get the opportunity for fireworks like this ever again?

Hmm.  Here's a wild thought.  Pretend for a minute everyone was given a mind shield.  What if part of the bastardry is related to that psychic interference and is part of the puzzle?

Meph:  Assume a player has a mind shield item.  Can they de-activate it for a night?  Can they discard the item completely?

There might be more to pick at here. The Rules say that the Exterminator has a choice between Mind Shield and Anti-Tech Field, but I got no such choice and I confirmed with Meph that that was intentional.

Maaaaaaaaybe it's just part of the bastard setup so that all our tech works against each other (with the result being a very violent game) but maybe there's more going on.

Webadict is a good player who has said a lot of valuable things. He’s basically our leader so far.

Also, Why the fuck would I want to hide the fact that I was the one who killed him?! All that would do was create unnecessary paranoia and confuse our team. Maybe I should have also bought a kill camouflager and made it look like a dop did it as well too in that case?
