You admitted being a sorcerer! But now I'm rethinking my vote after your soothing words.

[zwetschenwasser]

Thanks. I play violin. How about you?

[RestFermata]

Piano and harp! I was performance but now I'm going into composition.

...Am I missing something here?

<B>semi random vote for : Caboose </B>
Because he's not "Church"

Reecer - It's just some random voting to get started.

Bah, Church is a weakling.

Vote: Nightfall

He seems to be mafia!

[Nightfall]

...Say what?

I'm starting to think Juls might be right about you Reecer, IGMEOY....

What with that exclamation point and all

Reecer, could you get an avatar? This makes it easier to identify your posts.

We should probably have a discussion about game mechanics or something to pull the game out of this lagging random vote stage. I'm not sure what to say, though. I've never played in a game with recruiting masons before. Any thoughts on how this one should be played optimally?

Should I dig up questions from my newbie game? Or does anyone want to volunteer some?

[rokovoj]

Can we assume we have a traditional can-kill-can't-recruit mafia? Additionally, cults, if they exist, would be anti-town?

Not sure if those second random votes really mean anything, since none of them even come close to putting anyone in danger.. and if you check to see if someone is voting your intended target before random voting yourself, your vote is no longer entirely random.

[Nightfall]

From what I can recall I've only been in one game that has had (what I think) is a similar mechanic. A pro town group recruiting townies... It's been so long since I played it, I can't really recall anything about it though...

We should be a little careful describing possible ideas though. I'm guessing whoever
our mason(s) are they know more about how their roles work then we do. If we discuss the masons too much we could risk giving the anti town members ways to manipulate us/the town.

[Nightfall]

Then again I reread this

"Note - This game may contain any of the following: Cults, Scum Masons, Uninformed Millers, Jesters, and Undefined Sanities. "

And I get a little scared...

I thought the goal of a cult was the extinction of any non-cult members (aka anti-town).

Well, are random votes

really

random?
In any case, anything to start a discussion*.

*It's rapidly becoming my official policy on this site (I, uh, get bored easily otherwise -cough- short attention span -cough-)

[rokovoj]

I agree that we should be careful about what we discuss. We should definitely keep the conversation away from abilities and stuff of that nature.



I think I read somewhere in the mafia discussion board that a better name for random votes might be uninformed votes. I suppose votes wouldn't really be random unless you rolled a dice or something.

[RestFermata]

Hey, just thought of something. That would be a weird angle, if the "masonry" were really a cult. Based on flavor text it doesn't seem so, but hey, that's bastard moddery for you. But let's look at hoofprints and think horses, not zebras, right? Anyway, I think it is indeed bad to discuss abilities, but still, I'm glad we're pulling ourselves away from random (uninformed?) voting one way or another.

What else to say, though? Nothing's really popping out at me so far. Nothing tangible, anyway. There are a few people who so far appear to be taking more of a neutral, "follower" stance that could be interpreted as scummy, but since this is so early in the game I'm not sure it really means much, so I'll just keep it to myself for now.

I will if you can make the picture of Lucas from SSBB size-suitable.

So, quite the discussion, guys.

Use that in the avatar URL, it's Lucas resized.

[Reecer6]

No, I mean the other one, with Lucas on the blue screen like every character.

*sigh* I can use that one.

[Sebguer]

You messed up whatever link you were trying to do in your last thread. Anyways:
