Screw the players - Bad Idea - Game Over

[destructor]

Yeah, i'm in, so what? Last game I tried to fly low, and it failed.

We

're trying a diff strategy.

?

Vote: skitzer

[destructor]

I'd actually be surprised if an /innie townie actually shot anyone so far.

[destructor]

My understanding of the rules is that even if an /innie shoots at a target that's already dead, their bullet is lost, that is, you only get one chance as an /in townie to post "Shoot" and use your bullet at all.

[destructor]

Discussion is a good thing. Talk now, shoot later. That probably would have kept Jordan alive.

[destructor]

I agree in principle that townies shouldn't be /in-fishing, which is what I said in the last screw the players game, describing it as being akin to role-fishing. But, in the end, being open about who we thought was /in actually helped the town.

But, I think it's too early to be having these discussions. /out players (most of them) leave the game eventually. When there are fewer players posting, talking about who's /in is more productive. hasdfafdds is right that at the moment it is more likely to aid scum than town.

[destructor]

It probably means they targeted an /outie.
I doubt Kscope is being cryptic.

[destructor]

Assuming forge is /in, if skitzer does not turn up scum I will be very annoyed at forge and destructor

This post irked me.

Vote: PokerFace

Annoyed at me for what?

[destructor]

I'm not feeling good about PokerFace either, but I'm not sure what it boils down to.

If we ask anyone from the Jordan group to shoot and the shot doesn't work, we wouldn't get any info as they'll probably claim the /in who shot. I brought this up because it seems to me that 1 of the mafia probably got on that wagon to claim to be the shooting /in if they comes under suspicion.

This isn't really a safe claim at all. They'd be counter-claimed by the /innie that shot.

[destructor]

YL, I see what you're saying. I think that this train of thought should be picked up later in the game when more /outs drop off.

Mod:

Could prods be sent out asap? And can you give us an indication of how long a player can go without posting before being modkilled?

[destructor]

Rishi has claimed out. I hope we haven't seen any townies claiming out so far this game, since, like in most games of Mafia, townies have little to gain through dishonesty. With this in mind, I don't believe Rishi is town. If he's /in he's likely scum and having him shoot someone will do nothing but confirm that he's not /in-town, which we can already be fairly confident of.

So, rather than have him shoot PokerFace, and think someone else should shoot

him

.

Shooter:
Target: Rishi

I'm not sure who we should ask to shoot, though. I'm leaning towards PokerFace.

[destructor]

Wait a sec.

- mnowax shot Pokerface in 270.
- Guardian shot Kinetic in 280.

KScope posted since these shots...

Mod: Does this mean none of these shots went through?

If so, we can be certain neither of these players are town, at least.

- Shanba shot Jordan in 288 (/out or scum)

Vote: Cephrir
Shooter: Cephrir
Target: Rishi

Cephrir claims to be town with a bullet and so, says that either YvonneSeer or CornerMan shot Jordan.

CornerMan hasn't posted since Day 1 and

unless our Mod is being extremely generous with lurkers

, I'm assuming that if he was /in he'd have been mod-killed by now.

YvonneSeer has claimed /out, and on the principle that town players don't lie, I believe that she's not town, and so never had a bullet.

They were the only two players to shoot before Cephrir and I don't believe either of them had a bullet. This means that Cephrir is lying scum or /out.

[destructor]

What a waste. Why didn't we wait for Cephrir to shoot Rishi?

[destructor]

Are you going to shoot him because you have a case on him? Or because you feel like it?

[destructor]

If, by some chance, Rishi didn't get shot, someone shoot Cephrir.

[destructor]

Cephrir, CornerMan and YvonneSeer should be mod-killed by now if they're /in. So they're probably not. Which means you're probably lying, whether you're scum or not.

Shoot: Cephrir

[destructor]

Shooter: PokerFace
Target: Rishi

[destructor]

wait. I'm not so sure about that. I'm going to reread.

[destructor]

Well, once the mod posts that you've been shot, you're not meant to post again.

[destructor]

You know, I feel like Bad Idea is a tough one to balance in a Screw the players format. Maybe a few townies with two shots would have made things better. Given that we can't lynch, there are no vote counts, etc, it's even more unlikely that the town will win than in the last screw the players.

That said, there is still hope, and I think we can start narrowing down the /in crowd, though it seems more anti-town /outs have hung around this game. It's time for all the pro-towners to reread and stuff. I also think going with the Shoot/Shooter vote format is most likely to work in the town's favour from now on. That is, no townie should shoot until a large number of players, not including the confirmed /out/scum, have come to a consensus.

Again:

Discussion is good. Talk first, shoot later.

That was hard. If there's a next time, there should be a few two-shot townies, or something.

[destructor]

Oh, and

who did the scum try to kill at night?
