Princess Bride Mafia - Prince Humperdinck's Castle

[KuroiXHF]

Prince Humperdinck:

You truly love each other? Then you might have been truly happy! No couple in a century has that chance, no matter what the storybooks say. And so I think no man in a century will suffer as greatly as you will
Welcome _____ to Princess Bride Mafia! You are Prince Humperdinck and you are a

Mafia Goon!

You are the prince and heir to the country of Florin, and you've found your love in Buttercup, who you plan to marry and then kill. You know about Westley and that they truly love each other and you plan to keep them apart. You are a true enemy to love and you will end it. You win when you all those who oppose you are dead. (non-mafia equally amount of mafia)

Count Rugen:

As you know, the concept of the suction pump is centuries old. Really that's all this is except that instead of sucking water, I'm sucking life. I've just sucked one year of your life away. I might one day go as high as five, but I really don't know what that would do to you. So, let's just start with what we have. What did this do to you? Tell me. And remember, this is for posterity so be honest. How do you feel?

[Wesley cries and moans in pain]

Count Rugen:

Interesting.
Welcome _____ to Princess Bride Mafia! You are Count Rugen and you are a

Mafia Non-Consecutive Day Executioner!

You are the right hand man to Prince Humperdinck. You've been the master of this big contraception that drains life. One time during the day, you can PM me a name and if that player has HALF the necessary votes needed for a lynch, you could kill them. Note: This only works every OTHER day. You win when you all those who oppose you are dead. (non-mafia equally amount of mafia)

Hey!

@Mod:
1. Do we have daytalk?
2. Can you add our mains to this thread?
3. Can we post our role PM's in here?

-smart (lol, idk if I have to sign in here)

[KuroiXHF]

1. Yes.
2. Will do.
3. Absolutely. I've been meaning to do it too, haven't gotten around to it yet.

[MagnaofIllusion]

Do we have safe claims? I hope this game is not going to be trivially broken by flavor claiming. I will be greatly disappointed if so.

Also - V/LA til Wednesday. Recovering from major dental surgery and massive infection.

[Sword of Damocles]

Ok great. I'll just wait until you post it I guess.

Playerlist:
MagnaofIllusion- modded a game where he was town
Massive- no experience
Peter Elric Pines- no experience (probably an alt)
Shaddowez- played with once as town a while ago, I scumread him but my reads were crap that game
Nero Cain- played with once as a scumbuddy, does stuff as town, not so much as scum
Dread Pirate Roberts- definitely an alt, probably they'll altslip sooner or later
Infinity 324- ongoing
Sword of Damocles (Aristophanes + Something_Smart)- the best and most awesome hydra ever
Leonshade- no experience
Primate- no experience
karnos- no experience
farside22- ongoing

I'm going to poke Ari and let him know that this is starting. Even though we have daytalk, we'll probably keep a separate hydra PT in which we pretend we're town (I've seen that work effectively).

Pedit: ooh hadn't thought of that. I hope so... safeclaims really should be a requirement for theme games.

...technically YES, but they aren't good claims.

The following roles can be used as safe claims:
- The Ancient Booer
- The King

[Sword of Damocles]

*shrug* we'll make them work. Just as long as you don't tell the town that the safe claims are minor characters.

Kuroi seriously?

[Something_Smart]

It's okay as long as he tells the town that it's impossible to predict which characters might be in the game and which might be fakeclaims.

Even if it's not, as long as the town THINKS it is, we're okay and the game isn't broken.

[KuroiXHF]

I can't speak too much, but I will say that claiming one of these rules are NOT an automatic scum claim roles.

But yeah, they aren't that great. :\

[MagnaofIllusion]

You know what ... I'm going to erase the long post I originally composed and simply say.

Congrats Kuroi you have managed to kill my interest in this game pre-game when you literally have a Grade A++++ theme to work with ...

I claim the Ancient Booer as fake-claim Damacles. I have a Gif in my archive I am going to use right off the bat.

Maybe I'll be motivated when I'm feeling better ....

[Something_Smart]

I mean, the nice thing about being the underdog is that you have nowhere to go but up.

...although, I don't think my 40% scum winrate is particularly reflective of my scum ability, and I'd hate to see it go down even more

but hey, I'm going to give it my best shot, and see what happens.

What are your thoughts on bussing?

[KuroiXHF]

If you'd like to replace out, you can do that as well.

Safe claims are not requirements to mod a game. They are something I do out of courtesy. I'm sorry you're upset. I really am, but you're making such difficulties out of something you may or may not use.

Looking back, there's not much else I can suggest other than:
ROUS
The Queen
The Assistant Brute (The one who reported to Yellin about Inigo)
Yeste (The forger of Domingo/Inigo Montoya's sword)
*BTW, I've learned that the King's name is King Lotharon

OMG
I MEANT CONTRAPTION!

[MagnaofIllusion]

Well let’s get down to business –

Playerlist:
Massive- no experience
Dread Pirate Roberts- definitely an alt, probably they'll altslip sooner or later
Primate- no experience
farside22- ongoing

These are the players I would like to see dead as soon as possible. To my mind they represent the biggest potential threats from an experience basis. DPR is included more because of who I think they might be an Alt of (and because I am sick to death of themed Alts … just play the damn game).

Important

– You MUST use your Execution ability today. Since it should be a surprise we have some leeway but with only 2 Mafia (and me being a useless Goon) we need as many kills as possible. This means firing your Execution as many times as possible early and since you are Nonconsecutive that means Day 1 / 3 / 5 etc.

Basically my gut says that if you fire it as soon as someone who isn’t us gets to 4 votes today the ensuing chaos Day 2 should serve us well. I’ll leave it to your judgement though. The downside of the surprise Executions is that you can’t ever claim to be Town aligned with that ability and it makes you slightly more susceptible to a Role-Cop if one exists.

What are your thoughts on bussing?

In this set-up I’m bus adverse. There are only 2 of us. Notwithstanding any potential third parties bussing really makes it very difficult for us to get the number of required mislynches / kills. I especially can’t bus you actively as your role is too important.

I don’t think you get too much credit for bussing me since I’m a Goon. But I’ll leave that in your hands.

[MagnaofIllusion]

One time during the day, you can PM me a name and if that player has HALF the necessary votes needed for a lynch, you

could

kill them

Also for the record the fact that the bolded exists makes me wonder whether or not you are effectively just a goon and this is a disguised Mountainous Variant ...

[Something_Smart]

Agreed with both points of 15 (although I think it will still be Day 1 after we use our ability). I think getting an execute in RVS would be good, although it should preferably be a wagon that neither of us are on (or one of us is on earlier in the wagon).
Another potential benefit to the execution is that it will cast suspicion on anyone who reaches the threshold and doesn't die (each day before an execution has been made) until they realize it's non-consecutive, and even then.

@Mod: wrt what MoI pointed out, can we be sure that our execution will go through?

[MagnaofIllusion]

I'm toying with claiming Miller in my first post instead of the Ancient Boooer.

Thoughts?

[Something_Smart]

I like that idea. I think you'd need an appropriate fakeclaim... I'd say Assistant Brute or ROUS but you might be able to swing Ancient Booer being miller.

[MagnaofIllusion]

I like that idea. I think you'd need an appropriate fakeclaim... I'd say Assistant Brute or ROUS but you might be able to swing Ancient Booer being miller.

No if I claim Miller it is going to be as Humperdink. He's a reasonable Miller from an uniformed Perspective.

[MagnaofIllusion]

Nah on second thought I'm not going to risk it.

[Something_Smart]

Yeah, I agree about Humperdinck. You could still claim Ancient Booer as Miller if you want.

@Mod: what is the sample town wincon? Also, does our execution reset the votecount?

[KuroiXHF]

Sorry. I forgot to mention this.

Execution will IMMEDIATELY turn the game to night phase.

And are you looking for the town wincondition wording? If so, it's "You win when all opponents to true love is killed."

[Something_Smart]

Ohhhhh snap that changes things.

So yeah, then we definitely execute in RVS as soon as we can.

And also, Mod:
