Mini 1918: Paint Mafia Threequel! Game Over!

[Varsoon]

Even bigger TL;DR:
Cheetory wanted to design a game with a public cop mechanic that becomes less reliable as the game moves forward.
Let's treat it as such.


Also, Cheetory has a lot of talent in paint and has been sneakily trying to use it less and less between each game, so that means he definitely has time to give me a paint avatar.

VOTE: Twoface
Not just because he gets a drawing, but also because I'm curious why Aristo joined and fell off after the drawing.

I was voting him bwcause he said he wasnt a nerd.

I unvoted when he accepted the facts

[Varsoon]

BUT HE'S STILL A NERD, ARISTOPHANES
AND NERDS GET JOCKED ON

No, but, honestly, did he really do anything to change your mind once you started putting pressure there?

I didn't accept it. I just thought the image was funny. I'm still not a nerd

You're playing an ms-paint themed game of mafia on an internet chat forum in 2017
You're a flippin' nerd.

[TwoFace]

If you say so.

[Varsoon]

Curious what other people think of the mechanic and what I've said.

[TwoFace]

I'll read it when I get to a computer.

[Bomberman]

I think if we keep pressuring TwoFace he will turn Red

I mean this both figuratively and literally

[TwoFace]

You'd be wrong on both

[Gamma Emerald]

24: eh, I think painting a scum player blue is basically a godfather. I don't consider it bastard but it makes towns life hell.

I know I'm a nerd

IRL and his paint color right?

[Varsoon]

24: eh, I think painting a scum player blue is basically a godfather. I don't consider it bastard but it makes towns life hell.

It could be perceived as a mid-game alignment change, if only because there was no indicator to town that colors would change and could change to even blue.

I think that's a huge part of the setup design that Cheetory takes for granted as being communicated to players--colors will change.
Unless he's pulling some real long haul trolling and after two games where that's the CENTRAL mechanic, colors don't change in this one.

MOD: Is it safe to assume that colors can change or is that not public information?

[Bomberman]

@Gamma Emerald

Yes

Here is my bulletproof and undeniable proof, do not read below if you wish to avoid SPOILERS

Spoiler: proof

lmao

[Varsoon]

As far as I'm seeing, only the blue/red color 'standards' are expressed here.
Gonna go see if that's the same wording in previous games...

[Gamma Emerald]

I'd think he wouldn't forsake his gimmick but idek

[Varsoon]

Seems like the wording is the same as the other games. Was starting to get paranoid that 'standard' meant there would be starting deviations as well, which still might be the case.
Regardless.

I also don't think he'd forsake the color-changing gimmick because it is the driving core mechanic of the game--otherwise, this is just a standard mafia setup with a public cop to skew it into town's favor.

[Varsoon]

But this does make me realize that first-time players who ONLY read the opening posts might not realize:

The gimmick of previous games in the 'Paint Mafia' series by Cheetory6 was that the mafia team could change player's colors each night phase.

[Raya36]

Hey everyone! These mechanics sound like fun. One thing I'm a bit confused on is what the colours tell us. If we later on in the game vote for someone to reveal their colour and say for example they come out as purple, would that mean anything other than they were targeted by mafia at some point to change their colour? Also any idea if we are told if our colour changes and what it changes to or if we get voted for it's a surprise for us too?

[Gamma Emerald]

I think we are not alerted or we'd just claim it when it happened.

[Raya36]

True. That makes sense.

[MaxwellPuckett]

Hey everybody! I wish I had the skills to come up with a "Paint the town red" pun.
Varsoon I dont have much to say to contradict your analysis, I remember reading Paint mafia 2 at some point so I was aware of the colour change mechanic and didnt even realize it wasnt actually included as a possiblity in the game rules
Anyway Im sure Ill have some shit to say about it once we start seeing cool colours

Scumteam I look good in purple pls take note

Last blitz I played with him he was mafia so he's probably mafia here. Sheep me.

Guys I'm really confident Gamma Emerald is mafia vote him

These posts make me think your read is off.

[Infinity 324]

Not just because he gets a drawing, but also because I'm curious why Aristo joined and fell off after the drawing

What do you mean?

I read the last paint mafia, and iirc scum had enough ways to change town's colors that red wasn't a very reliable scumtell at endgame. Am I correct?
