Micro 70 ~ Mafia in Triplicate (Game Over!)

[Shamrock]

... Huh.

So, I don't see how Nobody Special's claim makes any more sense in this change-up than it did before.

Especially given that it's clearly not what "Rarefaction" was referring to.

[Shamrock]

Actually, what would you guys say to massclaiming?

[Shmugen]

Fair enough. Anyone else want to claim any abilities that work during night phases, which we no longer have? Unless Tierce thinks it's a bad idea?

[F-16_Fighting_Falcon]

I don't understand either how NS's claim makes more sense than before. In fact, it makes even less sense if that is at all possible.

@ Saulres, ask away. I don't have any questions at the moment since I asked most of them when you were at L-1 but I'll let you know when I do.

[Shamrock]

@Mod: Were the townies in each "cell" picked randomly?

pedit: If you're talking to me, you misread, I was saying it makes less sense.

[Tierce]

Tierce, who is in possession of the Puppy

How many times did I ask if I could adopt it? HOW MANY TIMES?

Not enough~ U^.^U

I would like everyone's opinions on massclaim before voicing my own.

[F-16_Fighting_Falcon]

I think we should mass-claim cell by cell. Each cell needs to have the most info about the other two players so they can lynch correctly. Once the lynch is done, we can move on to the next cell; massclaim, then lynch.

Shamrock, no I wasn't talking to you regarding NS's claim.

[saulres]

@F-16: Well this is bizarre. In my catch-up notes for you, I have the following two lines:

82-83: Look at if becomes pertinent
87: Also look at if...

I'll have to figure out why I thought that.

I also have:

139: WTF?

Now it's clear that was a joke. But when it might not have been, I had this:

-> 150: Really wish you hadn't unvoted. The triple-vote thing works well with the lynch thresshold on the mod

But my math was off by one

pedit: Since we're all essentially in LyLo, I can't see a reason for

not

massclaiming.

[Vi]

@Mod: Were the townies in each "cell" picked randomly?

I think I'm done answering questions.

[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.

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.

[saulres]

Oh I remember why I marked those. I was going to look into those posts for associative tells. Not really pertinent now.

So I have to start from scratch. Maybe we should wait for the director to catch up though?

pedit: ...

[vote: NS]

Come on, NS. "Rarefied Townie"? "Rarefaction" from faction changing?

Makes. No. Sense.

[Shamrock]

Given the setup of this game, if somehow you are town, saulres should just claim scum and allow himself to be reversed by you.

I mean, you're not town, because your role makes no sense, but.

[Shamrock]

Oh, and yeah, I'm okay with having me and saulres claim first.

[saulres]

I have no problem at this point claiming VT.

I wish I could give you something more. When I got the role PM with the "congrats if you wanted it" I thought "I don't! Damn it."

Shamrock, that's a scummy comment in 311. If I were scum and claimed hoping to be flipped, that would be playing against my wincon. Why are you encouraging me to be modkilled?

[Shamrock]

Oh... for some reason I thought my cell was you/me/NS. That's why I said we should claim. Oops.

In that case, obviously Shmugen should claim scum. (And it's hardly playing against your wincon to get your wincon changed to something more favorable, is it?)

[saulres]

I think it is. At the time you choose to flip, you're working against your side winning.

[Empire]

I'm fine with a massclaim. The game's Nightless now right? If so, don't really see any downside to it.

Going to reread the thread again. Leaning towards NS' claim being fake since it really doesn't make sense, especially within the context of this new setup.

[saulres]

Once per game

, I can choose a player and change their faction

See this right here?

If anyone can tell me how changing someone's faction

before

we were rarified, thereby invalidating the

entire setup

(you can't go 3x3 with one scum in each cell if there are 4 scum), would be an actual role in this game, I'll change my avatar to anything they want for the duration of the game (as long as it doesn't violate site rules or is otherwise illegal/immoral).

Don't do this. Avatar/sig bets are actually frowned upon.

[Tierce]

[vote: NS]

What is this?

[F-16_Fighting_Falcon]

Out of curiousity, I just noticed in both of your sigs, what is the "Cult of Xalxe?"

[saulres]

If Avatar bets are frowned upon I'll retract. I didn't know.

Cult of Xalxe means I've played in a Xalxe game and enjoyed it.

Tierce's sig is I think the result of a bet or a favor, but my memory doesn't work that well any more

[vote: NS] is a pseudovote because I can't vote for him.

[Shmugen]

I, similarly, am VT. There's a good amount of uncertainty about my play this game, unfortunately, I think I lucked out in the cell I was placed in as I have the one with the crazy claim kid who was up for being lynched in the first place. Gotta reread Shamrock anyway though.

[Shamrock]

I am also VT.

Is there any particular reason to hold off on lynching NS? His claim makes even less sense now than it did before, and it didn't make very much sense before.

I mean, I can wait until the rest of the town says hi. But I don't see my mind changing.

[Tierce]

wait until the rest of the town says hi.

I would like the director chiming in and catching up before any lynches go through.

In addition, I dislike this claiming process. Popcorn it. Shamrock, who's next?
