Newbie 2040 - Destroyers of Empires

[fferyllt]

Welcome,

donkihott,

Mafia Rolecop

and

Battle Mage,

Mafia Goon

! You are the Mafia team!

This private chat thread is for your plotting. You'll be able to post here and make plans together during the pre-game and at all times during the day and night phases while you are alive.

You can PM your night-kill choices to me or post them in bold text here. You will need to choose which one of you does the kill as well as who you want to kill. I always check my PMs and this topic at the end of night phase in case of last minute changes.

If you have any questions, you can ask them here or send me a PM, whichever you prefer.

Good luck!

Heyyy mafia fella, I'm so excited about this game. This is my second game and I got sussed so hard even though I was town, I don't want to think what is going to be now.. I'll rely on your game knowledge to make the best decisions and kill them all!

[Battle Mage]

great, nice to meet you mate! yeah this should be fun, and no pressure!

most important things to remember are:

try not to look too suspicious
try and find out who the town power roles are

If you want any advice, let me know. Otherwise, just play how you want!

We should start with an assumption that we won't gun for each other hard - I might pressure you a bit but I'll do my best to keep you alive - there isn't much mileage in bussing (eliminating your mafia partner) early.

I'll try my best. Can you just rephrase that last part in bold I didn't quite understand it. Also are we aware of the game setup?

[donkihott]

Also what do you think about killing the SE's first?

Ah yes, so to re-phrase: I think it generally isn't a good idea in newbie games to deliberately eliminate your mafia team-mate in order to get credibility, as however well you play, you can get stuck with town power roles left alive at the end which might mean you lose anyway. It's a commonly used strategy in larger games, and often a good one. But here it would be high risk and uncertain reward. Plus I wouldn't do it to you because it'd make me a shitty SE.
Keeping us both alive is the gameplan!

It's semi-open setup, so town has either:

1. Tracker and Friendly Neighbour
2. Friendly Neighbour and Jailkeeper
3. Tracker and Doctor

[Battle Mage]

Also what do you think about killing the SE's first?

haha it depends. basic kill strategy should normally be:

Kill someone we think is a power role.
If we don't have any idea who might be a power role, kill someone who suspects us.
If nobody suspects us, kill someone we might find it hard to eliminate during the day.

[donkihott]

Sounds solid.

[Battle Mage]

i cant believe how nervous everyone is lol, even the SEs

[Battle Mage]

it's only -2 btw, in case you were thinking of dropping a hammer haha

[Battle Mage]

what's your beef with taylor? you may as well answer me in the game lol

[donkihott]

Oh, I think its against the rules, in a couple of days I hope I can answer that. But its nothing really, not even close just a joke I was trying to set up just for the chat. I'll answer to you and Syryana about that. I thought that if I just pretend to be a real town as scum and play like I don't know who the scum is then it would be easier but I sound hella suspicious even as town so I am trying to pick my words well

[Battle Mage]

haha sounds fair mate. what do you think about flowr's vanilla town crumb? I think I buy it - it's too bold a play for a newbie PR to basically falsely claim vanilla early. at the very least, i'd say we take her off the NK shortlist for tonight.

[donkihott]

Ohh I just read that. If I was vanilla would've try to say it with uncertainty so its not so clear so yea, it sounds like a legit vanilla claim.

[donkihott]

AGamblingPig has you on his town list yayy

[donkihott]

Do you think Syryana's "secret" about flowr insinuates a PR?

[Battle Mage]

get back in the game mate! preferably so we can get this Umlaut elim over the line.

And no, I don't Syryana's secret is likely to insinuate a PR. I mean, she can't possibly have any info given it's day 1 and we know there's no masons. I assume she is just reading too much into Flowr's maybe-accidental VT claim.

[Battle Mage]

you wanna hammer Umlaut? he's at -1, and it's him or you

[Battle Mage]

shall we do

NK: RLotus (since she crumbed a PR)

I guess Rolecop somebody we might not otherwise NK. Maybe Manwithnoname or AGamblingPig? I'm pretty easy though!

[donkihott]

I'm fine with that NK and between manwithnoname and pig I'm more leaning towards rolecoping man since SEs scare me.

[donkihott]

Ahhh I think I fcked it up If I have responded quicker maybe there wasn't going to be an extension. I am not purposely lurking tho

[Battle Mage]

a deadline extension!? what?

[Battle Mage]

not your fault man, i'm baffled at the last minute extension.

[donkihott]

It seems like skitter wanted for it.

[donkihott]

Do you think RLotus "hard town" clear for Syryana might be also in our favor if we NK him. Btw its really hard to call Syryana "he", really confusing nickname.
