Micro 70 ~ Mafia in Triplicate (Game Over!)

[Nobody Special]

Vote: Vi

Just in case.

[Nobody Special]

Vote Count I:

Vi (L-12) ~ Nobody Special

--With 9 alive, it takes 5 to lynch.

Fascinating. Anyone want to claim double(triple?)voter?

[Nobody Special]

Because it's remarkable.

unvote

[Nobody Special]

I don't mean 'remarkable' in the outlandish FRONTPAGENEWSONTABLOIDS way, I mean 'remarkable' in the basic sense of 'out of the ordinary, able to be commented upon.'

It's just interesting for the Mod to have a lynch threshold higher than the number of players. I was curious.


Moving on.

[Nobody Special]

It's standard practice in Bastard games to lynch the mod first; this game was advertised as Not Normal; I wanted to see what happened. I've seen, nothing happened, let's move on.

[Nobody Special]

Vote: Tierce

How's that?

[Nobody Special]

You are scum for opportunistically trying to lynch me for a simple observation.

[Nobody Special]

Tierce, dear, you and I together make up almost

half of this thread

so far. Of course I don't see anyone else as scummy. All I see is you attacking me for no good reason.

I, for one, am going to back off, give the thread some breathing room, and see what develops.

I'll be back when there's something real to comment on.

[Nobody Special]

To be fair, I do find it annoying that NS hasn't responded to the FOS on him yet.

Doesn't take much to annoy you, does it?

I truly haven't seen anything to respond to, and I'll be catching up later tonight and possibly tomorrow.

[Nobody Special]

Oh, I should do this:

unvote

Vote: sualres

[Nobody Special]

I am leaning toward Xalxe/Saulres scumteam right now.

Then why are you voting Konowa?

[Nobody Special]

I appreciate F-16's pointing out that if we mislynch today that we'd be in Lylo tomorrow -- I didn't realize that at all. Therefore, I really think we should use all the time available to us in order to catch scum today.

[Nobody Special]

Why are you, Nobody Special, voting saulres?

Because I agreed with F-16 here.


Speaking of which, F-16, I'm concerned about your multi-shifting view in regard to Saulres. Can you explain?

[Nobody Special]

I never said I still agreed with it.

unvote

[Nobody Special]

Okay, so, I'll claim.

I'm a Rarefied Townie. Once per game, I can choose a player and change their faction (thus, Rarefaction, see?). Obviously, the best move is to action on a scum and turn them town, thus reducing the number of scum by one and making the game a bit easier. I can't tell by the wording in my Role PM whether there is another Townie with this power or not.

Since I've claimed, I'm willing to let you guys direct my action.

[Nobody Special]

Well, it doesn't explicitly say what prevents them from doing that, but I think such an action would be modkillable. Also, see the "Other" section of the rules, especially the third point. I wouldn't put it past Vi to modkill all the scum if a converted scum outs their partners, leading to a town auto-win. (But that's edging into set-up spec, and I try not to do that,

especially

with Vi.)

[Nobody Special]

Tierce, I can't action on myself. I didn't mention that, as it seemed fairly obvious.

[Nobody Special]

Thank you for punishing me for a role I didn't even choose.

[Nobody Special]

Well, glancing at Konowa's iso, it doesn't sound like he has my ability or something like it; it sounds like he just has an informational-type role. Hopefully, he'll be able to tell us more about that.

I have that wincon, 2 out of 3 scum dead, but no mention is made as to what happens if scum are turned by my action. When I first read it, I just naturally assumed that turning a scum would eliminate them as scum, thus fulfilling one of our two to eliminate. I'll PM Vi and ask; it's a valid question.

Also, Konowa was exhibiting some scum-like avoidance of the thread earlier. Check his iso.

@NS

1. Why did you wait until now to claim, instead of when you were first at L-1?

2. Can you

please

address the issue I brought up in 208? Here, I'll bring the part I'm referring to down for easy reference.

I really think we should use all the time available to us in order to catch scum today.

If you were

really

worried about that, you'd have unvoted. Unless you think I'm scum and both the other scum are already on my wagon.

1) This is the first time (that I recall) that hammer-intention was stated and that I was asked for a claim.

2) I don't always unvote when wanting to prolong the day; it largely depends on the playerlist and whether I think someone might be an ass and quickhammer. It's different for every situation.

Well, I got a wonderfully vague non-answer. (Did anyone expect anything less from Vi?)

It does seem like a weird role that would throw off the balance. I really don't know what to make of it now.

[Nobody Special]

Okay, so, I'll claim.

I'll just note that I never said "at night" -- it's once per game.

And I'm still willing to let it be directed.

[Nobody Special]

Please, what do you mean when you say "boyscout" ?

[Nobody Special]

@NS

, no response to me calling our your claim based on you providing a definition of Rarefaction that doesn't jive with what we now know it to be?

I have no response. I know what my Role PM says (and what it

doesn't

say) and I really can't offer anything else. It's weird, and I see the position you guys are taking with it, but what else can I do?

[Nobody Special]

Thanks, Vi, another terrific game (regardless of your opinion of it, so etc.).

The mechanic is great; I just wish I'd seen it coming. I screwed myself over with the fakeclaim, and I want to apologize to my teammates for having done that.

[Nobody Special]

I'm fine with it. It's very sparse.
