Secret Hitler 2 (Game over!)

like if you only passed liberal policies from here on out i would townread you because mechanics > feels in this game especially

[Shrek]

then let me pass liberal policies instead of suspecting me before i get a chance to even vote

[Shrek]

that's a very pigeonholed way of looking at it but ok

alright what's another possibility?

[gigabyteTroubadour]

other people start to look suspicious and poe makes it beneficial to test you

we investigate you

you do something town

also i've been heavily suspected in every face-to-face game i've been in where i'm liberal - you can still contribute

[Shrek]

Oh cool I love everyone investigating me because of things I said less than an hour after the game began!

Go after some other people too lol

Shrek what are your thoughts on ideal gameplay here?

[Shrek]

Waiting until the first policy gets passed/neined and then seeing how people react to it. This is the banter phase. Not_Mafia hasn't even chosen a candidate yet.

[Shrek]

Or at least until voting on the proposed government begins.

[pablito]

Banter banter banter. Ba-banter?

[Shrek]

You're a fascist.

[gigabyteTroubadour]

i've kind of liked his questions tbh

[pablito]

That's right banter, m8

Hello everyone. Let's try to get some healthcare and education reforms, before we go dividing the country, shall we?

Having said that, @Shrek: you seem overly defensive. This is, in a sense, a mafia variant, so of course people will bring the way they play mafia to this game. Anyway, how can initial conversation hurt? If the president is a liberal, and this helps him find a second liberal to nominate for Chancellor, then that would give us a decent chance to start with a liberal policy.

I like gbt, so far. They look like a fighter for the people.

@rando: You had a libread on gbt. Even gbt themselves is not sure how you got it. Care to explain?

Healthcare and education reforms sounds like a great idea!

Healthcare should be made free to all and we should make college more affordable for our youth. I propose that we make community colleges tuition free!

Then it's in the wrong category.

Is there a purpose to this argument?

[Shrek]

No lol

@Think: And now that the flavour fluff is out of the way, got anything game-related to add? Because you've made 4 posts, yet only one of them discusses the game in any way, and even then only barely.

@Shrek: The thing is, mafia variant as a category is ill-defined. In one sense, it encompasses games where people try to figure out each other's alignment. In another, it only means those where people vote others out, based on said alignment reads. Games like this one and Resistance kind of straddle the line, and don't fit well into the mafia subfora. In any case, even if this is not to be considered a mafia variant, that doesn't change the fact that mafia-related skills are relevant here. Your insistence to divorce the two serves no purpose. Also, you seem to be ignoring my other point: Initial conversation is good, irrespective of whether this game is like mafia or not.
While we're at it, do you have any reads you wish to share, as yet?

[Shrek]

i have my wits about me

[pablito]

This is not a mafia variant. This is a board game. This is anarchy. Mitilios why are you baiting shrek?

[Mitillos]

@pabs: The two are not mutually exclusive. And I'm "baiting" (as you incorrectly put it) Shrek to see why he is opposed to conversation. Frankly, looking at your posts, I could ask you that too. As well as the following:
In post 33, you agreed with random's post 22. Was that serious, or? If yes, do you still agree with that? If so, why? If not at any point, what are your actual reads? What is the point of our subsequent posts?

[Shrek]

it's called making fat stacks of cash bro. maybe if you gave me 500$ to start up my puppy walking company you could be rolling in this dough too.
