Rock Grass Steel ("Mafia" Win)

[ZZZX]

I can team up with a guy but I wont reveal which type i want or which type i am.

cephrir wana team up?

[Espeonage]

I AM OFFENDED

[Cephrir]

I'm not going to make any alliances in public. To do so would invite destruction.

[Espeonage]

Sounds sus.

[Cephrir]

Though, really, if private communication isn't going to be allowed, I'm probably going to ask to vacate my slot anyway, making the point even more moot than it already was.

[D3f3nd3r]

I was Ghost tyvm.

I thought she was Sabrina's type and position. Oops.

[McMenno]

guys I have light and sound.

which one should I use?

[Axxle]

Whichever my Spock-typing is super effective against.

[Espeonage]

Not Lizards.

[Axxle]

I'm not going to make any alliances in public. To do so would invite destruction.

Pretty much this. I think discussion might help in the later rounds of the game if someone starts pulling ahead, but round one it doesn't seem like it will do much.

[DeasVail]

I think it's cool with or without discussion. In some ways I actually like the no discussion version because talking to people is effort (it's me not you, you're all pretty great).

[mykonian]

myko uses flamethrower on kingdomaces!

[Cheery Dog]

Tail Slap!

[eyestott]

The reason I said no PMs was because I believed that people would only use it, resulting in a bare thread. Would you guys be satisfied if every second round allowed private communaications?

[Cephrir]

What an odd solution

[eyestott]

Well, it'll mean you get you PMs, but also that the thread won't be abandoned.

[Cephrir]

Why is that bad?

[Cheery Dog]

*abandons thread anyway*

[Espeonage]

That is a really weird and not good solution.

[eyestott]

Okay, people are in overwhelming favour of Private Communications. Ill allow them.

[Axxle]

Oh no, I joined because I didn't want to use them. Youre just hearing the vocal opposition.

[Espeonage]

The game literally won't work unless there is outside comms

[Cephrir]

i like rolling dice as much as the next guy but like...

[Axxle]

I just wanted a nice helping of randomness, not have to put a lot of thought into alliances and such.

[eyestott]

Okay, I dont really know what to do.
I mean, Some of you have implied youll only play with outside comms, some of you have implied the opposite.
And yet, semi-allowing it will satisfy neither, not both.

I have a few ideas:
1: Two games, one with outside comms, one without them, each probably being either 6p (with 3 lives) or 9p (with 4 lives) or maybe 12p (with 3) if enough people want in.
2: Allow private communications on even rounds.
3: Allow each person to create one quicktopic, and let them add who they want to it.
4: Allow each person to communicate with people who share their type (giving each person 3 lines of communication)
5: Run this game as one with/without (up to a vote), let anyone who wants to replace out do so, but give them /preins to the next one, which will be their preference.
