Mini 1247- Auction Mafia: Abandoned

[Mego]

Also, quick question. Once an ability has been bid on and sold, will it be available during the next bidding phase?

[Klazam]

Hey. Can one person have more than one ability?

Do we know if mafia has a factional nightkill, or do they have to bid on and get the nightkill ability?

What happens if a tied bid occurs?

Will roleblock stop all albities a particular person has?

Bus Driver VS Roleblocker- who wins?

Can bus driver change a person's target to himself?

When is points renewed?

[Lurconis]

Going on an unplanned V/LA be back possibly Sunday night but probably Monday night sorry for the short notice.

12/13 confirmed. Auction Phase starts now.

Opening bids:
Protect: 3
Bulletproof: 3
Bus Drive: 4
Nightkill (25% chance of success) 2
Investigate (50% chance of success): 3
Role Block: 4
Nightkill: (100%) 5
Investigate (100%) 5

(you may bargain with as many players as you like, but may only be involved in one finalized bargain per phase.

[Thestatusquo]

mego: Yes, although I reserve the right to change opening bid amounts.

[Empking]

We're giving Shanba the BP. No ifs nor buts that's what's happening.

[Thestatusquo]

Night Kill 100%: 5 Bid.

[uncledaphne]

How much money do we start with?

[Empking]

20

@Mod:

Can you answer Klazam's questions in #26 please?

[Magua]

Some thoughts based on previous auction games and my reading of the rules; these might be superceded by what the mod says...

Pretty sure we start with 20 points, that's it. No more. So unless you think you're going to get killed Night 1, probably shouldn't blow your entire wad today, especially on anything other than the 100% Night-kill or the 100% Investigation.
Pretty sure there'll be auctions at the start of every Day. May or may not be for the same things.

Thinking about plans where we can abuse massclaim of buying to either ensure that we get the roleblocker or that we can narrow down to a few (3) individuals who may have gotten it. It may not be possible D1, but should be possible D2 and beyond.

hi everyone

[uncledaphne]

Sup

[Shanba]

Little disappointed that someone has already bid on the 100% nightkill. I think we should have left that unsold day 1.

[Shanba]

We're giving Shanba the BP. No ifs nor buts that's what's happening.

I think the strongest way to maximise bulletproof is to limit the pool of people who we allow to bid on it, rather than flat out giving it to someone. That way we can protect 2 or 3 people with it rather than just one - I'd wager scum probably dont want to play the guessing game of which player actually got it and risk losing a nightkill.

[Empking]

OK, that's reasonably sensible. Magua can bid on it too.

[Thestatusquo]

Current bids:

Night Kill 100%: 10 points
Investigate 100%: 5 points
Protect: 5 points.

Yes

This is a closed setup, but nice try

What happens if a tied bid occurs?

It goes to the person who bid first. The person putting in a duplicate bid after that but before I post in thread will be informed via PM that they do not hold the current high bid

Will roleblock stop all albities a particular person has?

Yes

Bus Driver VS Roleblocker- who wins?

Role blocker is the first priority.

Can bus driver change a person's target to himself?

No

When is points renewed?

Whatcha have is all you're gunna get from me.

[Thestatusquo]

Current bids:

Night Kill 100%: 10 points
Investigate 100%: 5 points
Protect: 5 points
50% investigate: 4 points.

[Empking]

50% investigate: 4 points.

Okay, own up so I can laugh at you.

OK, that's reasonably sensible. Magua can bid on it too.

Or we could, y'know, not just flat-out announce which player is unkillable. Just a thought.

I think "Only bid on bulletproof if you're likely to die." should suffice here and is what should be happening anyway.

50% investigate: 4 points.

Okay, own up so I can laugh at you.

Cut the damn rolefishing.

On another note

How much money do we start with?

Why did you ask this?

[Empking]

Since that's stupid I'm going to say...no?

If Shaba and Magua are both town then I've basically saved both their lives!

Also, since I presume you're the guy who took the investigation. HA HA HA HA.

[Shanba]

Has someone really already spent 10 points on the nightkill ability?

Also, why is protect going at 5? Honestly we shouldnt really be outbidding each other on abilities like protect and investigate, so long as they're in town's hands its good. Chances are a townie bid on it first, and outbidding that townie just drains the town's collective resources. Don't do that.

[DeathRowKitty]

On what grounds have you decided Shanba is town.

And also, cut the damn rolefishing.

[DeathRowKitty]

Pretend that first sentence ended in a question mark.
