Supermini Time Travel Mafia - Timeline Reshuffle!

[Narninian]

(fake) FOS: Stewie

brush your teeth to prevent the halatosis - its not too late.

[big_kahunia]

With the timetravel factor, I wasn't certain, but I'm not at all certain we can lynch someone now for what they *might* do later.

Minority report all over again.

I would *THINK* that a dead person's motive is dead until they are brought back the life. I think the motive shuffling would be with 'alive' people.

That makes sense to me.

vote: roland

cuz it was random

[mathcam]

The point of motive-shuffling is to not handicap the mafia by allowing information to be out there that wouldn't have been if the timeline had been played out under the new circumstances. It's a pretty big handicap if the town already knows you're mafia because it was revealed last time you died....

Current Official Vote Count:

LazMoth (2, StD, Stewie)
Uraj (1, Narninian)
Flay (1, Uraj)
Stewie (1, Coron)
StD (1, Roland)
Coron (1, Lazmoth)
Roland (1, bk)

5 to lynch.

I know this sounds scummy, but as much as I want to win, I'm more interested in the mechanics of the game (i.e. making sure the large game is playtested thoroughly). I expect (hope?) this'll be a fairly quick game, without a lot of the metaanalysis that slows down some regular games...

That being said, I'm having a hard time sorting out "IC" (In Character) behavior & flavor text from OOC analysis and game facts. Is lazmoth alluding to anything real about himself with his fortune-telling schtick, or is he just getting in the groove?

Hard to say and no, I'm not asking for a clarification from the mod on any of that, though I am as curious about the fate-of-dead-motives as anyone else. If the mod thinks that's too much to reveal, then I would *suspect* that they do not expire when the motive-holder dies, because of the statement "if everyone alive is on the same team, regardless of future actions).

::timetravel edit:: Wow, I didn't even see the third page...forgive my stupidity for the above paragraph...

[mathcam]

As horrendous as it is for a mod to comment on a player's post with respect to the game, since this isn't an official game, you'll forgive me for doing so:

I expect (hope?) this'll be a fairly quick game, without a lot of the metaanalysis that slows down some regular games...

I agree with this sentiment. I have 2 goals for this game: 1) To get enough feel for the types of things that could go wrong so that I can fix them for the big game, and 2) To make sure you guys have fun play-testing it. So you're welcome to take whatever approach you'd like to the game, but given that dead people will almost certainly come back to life at least once, I also don't think it's necessary to agonize over each decision.

*blink*blink* Anyone?

Vote: Coron

for being fairly silent (I know he's not the only one, but he seems one of the worst offenders)

[rolandofthewhite]

I'll keep my random vote on STD until something else comes up.

[Save The Dragons]

I'm just waiting for Laz to explain if he's an oracle or if he's a drunk.

[Narninian]

yes Laz- flavor or real information?

[rolandofthewhite]

I'm just waiting for Laz to explain if he's an oracle or if he's a drunk.

I'm beginning to think the latter.

[big_kahunia]

I don't need professors to lecture me on causality. I'm half-gypsy, half-Greek and I can tell the future using my truth-ball. And my truth-ball says that....*gaze gaze* Narninian is right. They are bandwagoning me for no reason whatsoever.

It also tells me that Stewie will have halitosis in the near future.

I think the first paragraph is random. Not sure about the second. What is a halitosis? Roland, I know you could help me here.

Coron has been away the second longest with professor Uraj leading the way.

[rolandofthewhite]

What is a halitosis? Roland, I know you could help me here.

What do you mean? Anyways, I believe halitosis is a disease commonly known as "bad breath".

[Stewie]

Yeah... it can be diagnosed by a pH test... your mouth is usually slightly basic. Or someone can tell you "Hey, brush your teeth now and then, man" or something to that effect. But I can't get it, I use listerine.

[lazarusmoth]

Whee, I'm quoting me:

I'm half-gypsy, half-Greek and I can tell the future using my truth-ball.

= flavor

It also tells me that Stewie will have halitosis in the near future.

= real information

Ok, seriously now. Since roles will be shuffled the next day, how about claims from everyone on what they could do? I'm not sure if this violates mod rules but from a player's perspective, it could be very helpful in gathering information and planning out strategies.

What do you guys think?

[Narninian]

ROLES wont be shuffled... only motives...

[Narninian]

that said if you want me to claim my MOTIVE... its townie

[Mr. Flay]

Not sure if anyone will post "Motive: To keel you ALL!!1!eleven!!1", but

FOS

anyone who does.

'cam, can you prod Coron? I suspect he forgot this thread...

[Save The Dragons]

Motive: To keel yo...uh...town?

[Uraj45]

And for that matter motives won't be shuffled tomorrow unless something like: information is revealed by a cop today and then mafia goes back to night 1 to kill him

[Narninian]

somebody claim scum so we can lynch you and move on...

[Coron]

I'm here! Sorry no need to prod me, I keep forgeting I'm in a game that's not a game...
wtf is with the crazy mystic guy?
I can't tell you whether I'll be scum in the future, but I can garuntee I'm not now...

[Coron]

and town could easily be standing around dead bodies too, if we have 2+ killing groups. Wait... even with 1? Wtf? crazy!

[Stewie]

How can you "guarantee" such a thing?

[Narninian]

good question... I would like you to show me that garuntee

[Uraj45]

Observe as the wild Coron gets himself into trouble with his choice of words once more.
