Champions over Domains

[Killthestory]

can two people pick one?

I'd choose concision and will if so, if not, concision and solism.

this seems fun !

I think whimsy fits you more than anything.

without a doubt

OH WAIT I JUST REALIZED THAT WHIMSY WAS AN OPTION.

bruhurahu rh i choose concision and whimsy ah yeaaaaaaaaah

Mercy

(changed from Logic) - More than anything else, Mafia is a game of understanding people. Not everyone with a given alignment will react the same way under certain circumstances. However, if you truly understand what goes on behind someone's eyeballs, you can figure out when and whether they're acting out of character. In other words, you believe in the supremacy of meta and will shrug off so-called "textbook scummy behavior" in favor of your insights into why people act the way they do. You can proudly point to your successful judgment calls, but when you're wrong, you get burned hard and lose friendships. Your opposite is Justice.

This is so me

[kraska77]

Definitely

Mercy

,

Austerity

and

Concision

Followed by

Whimsy

Edit: uhh actually...not sure about austerity; my play is kinda passive, not lurkish...there's a difference I think
And yay colours

[Ranmaru]

Interesting to see Troll with Austerity and Mercy.

So do people in similar camps get grouped together or something? That would be cool.

I think these apply to me the most to least:


Most applies to me --

Rigor
Will
Verbosity
Mercy
Patience
Syncretism
Least applies to me --

I used to be about soloism as a newbie, I didn't trust anyone, but as my reads get better it is easier to trust someone. Now I try to be more 'buddying' and try to vote with a town read, and get people together. Since reading Hito's 'On compromising', I have been trying to do that more. I used to be whimsy as a newbie, meaning more fluff less stuff. Now the fluff has been beaten out of me and I fluff a lot less, only a tiny bit and the rest is serious business. Verbosity, I just usually type a lot of words sadly. Mercy I lean towards because I can empathize with people. Yet my will helps me to put in effort and stuff.

[mastin2]

and yes, mastina you are the poster child for verbosity

I'd say I'm more like the Captain of verbosity. You could say, perhaps, of walls, in the form of posts.

oh and happy scumday mastina!

Thanks!

I'd commemorate the occasion by posting with a shiny new account, but the site decided to be an ass and I'll need to wait a bit.

Butyeah. I've officially been on the site for eight years, as of now.

[Mastin]

(I mean, it's a pretty special occasion. Eight years is a pretty significant milestone.)

[Faraday]

I think I post too much when I play to be concision really.

Will + Whimsy fit p excellent tho.

[Faraday]

So does this mean a sequel is coming or??

[Infinity 324]

Mercy, patience, and syncretism. I can't choose 2.

[drealmerz7]

Hmmm, I have a mix of these depending on my mood and circumstances within an individual game, but, generally, I'm:

Verbosity + Will

it often gets me lynched early (especially when I'm mixing a lot of Fervor in there)

I think it'd be easier to pick which of these I don't hardly ever illustrate in my playstyle(s), but then I might be giving away too much!

[mykonian]

Fervor is perfect, mercy kind of works.

[N]

this personality test has too many words

[Infinity 324]

Ok, so that's austerity and concision.

[Vi]

To be clear: We should be picking what we feel we are at the current time correct? Or is it fine to pick our total opposites to see how we'd play in that way?

The (non-Mafia) game designer in me says that I'm not going to dictate how you should enjoy this thread, but you'll get weird looks (from me especially) if you pick something that doesn't describe you.

Now, if you want to try some radically new playstyle after being inspired by this thread, go for it (>")> and let everyone know how it goes!

spoiler: people will give you weird looks and try to lynch you, and then you'll have to point to this thread, and they won't believe you
also, if you do that you automatically get pushed toward Whimsy

(as well as a Lawful Evil alginment, but that be another discussion that could be had.)

oh come now half the player list was Evil in some variety
Also, Asceticism exists; it was renamed to Patience because that fit better.

Such a great game idea clearly born from the minds of genius only a generation sees.

You can just say I stole the idea from you because you were taking so goshdarn long making POWERFUL WIZARDS.

I probably used to be the impersonal Rigor type player

I could have deleted the four lines I typed describing Rigor and just said "think Hoopla". You, me, Fate, Tierce, and CES were definitely people I had in mind when typing these up.

I think I post too much when I play to be concision really.

Concision is for people who post in two- or three-line bursts. Think CES; he'll bat snark back and forth with you all day long but if any of his posts ever stretched the minimum post space I'd be shocked.

So does this mean a sequel is coming or??

The mechanic was p.broken. Both times I ran this mechanic I remember everyone powering up two Domains and ignoring the rest. Like I don't know how to make the game fun for everyone by making sure everyone gets power so they could potentially do something.

I think these apply to me the most to least:
Most applies to me --
Rigor
Will
Verbosity
Mercy
Patience
Syncretism
Least applies to me --

Yeah, I like this way of thinking. I'm at

--Most--
Whimsy
Will
Syncretism
Mercy
Patience
Concision
--Least--

...which seems like the least practical combination you can find, but ~whee~

[SpyreX]

I think it's the nature of the beast that two alignments will get powered over and over. Wed need ways to nullify an alignment or a mechanic that makes alignments more powerful over the course of the game. Three moons of krynn style

[Accountant]

Will and Mercy

Interesting, so it'd be like a competition that you rush to power down other areas.

[Zorblag]

@Vi, Troll feels that it be more than a renaming. Asceticism as Troll envisioned it only encompassed the unflappable part of Patience. That level-headedness (which Troll has a lost a bit of since playing last,) was something of a hallmark of Troll's play much of the time, but Troll has long been of the opinion that the game needs to progress to keep momentum on the side of town. Patience as described extends this to state to a desire to influence the rest of the game to be slow and measured; a much more external aspect compared to the internal one that was a description for the Troll play of old.

Logic to Mercy be an example of what Troll sees as more of a renaming, but Asceticism to Patience feels like a change in what being described.

But then, it be Vi's system, so perhaps Troll simply no understood what was meant by Asceticism and would have disagreed that Troll should have been there instead of Logic in the first place.

Also, for the new system:

--Most --
Mercy
Austerity
Verbosity
Syncretism
Rigor
Patience
--Least--

Perhaps? It be a bit hard to rank the bottom 4 as them all be close now that Troll really thinks about it (and would probably change if taking out some of the parts which don't quite apply, like the bit that Troll feels be added for Patience.)

[mastina]

I'd play.

[mastina]

people will give you weird looks and try to lynch you, and then you'll have to point to this thread, and they won't believe you

Alternatively, scum dayvig you because you have the whole scumteam nailed on D1.

[Heat]

I'm definitely austerity and concision lmao

[mhsmith0]

Probably patience and solism, with an occasional side of verbosity. In related news games with me tend to DRAG sometimes

[Ranmaru]

All in the sake of dragging scum to their late graves.

[Vampirate]

I'm pretty horrible at judging myself, I might be a bit of whimsy but *shrugs*.

[callforjudgement]

I think it's the nature of the beast that two alignments will get powered over and over. Wed need ways to nullify an alignment or a mechanic that makes alignments more powerful over the course of the game. Three moons of krynn style

Thinking about it, I'd design the setup so that only one domain would be powered by Worshipping each night (whichever domain was Worshipped the most), a domain remains powered forever once it's been powered, and each player would gain one role if one of their domains were powered, and a second role if both were powered. Admittedly, how well that works would likely depend on the player count.
