InFAMOUS [Mafia] [OT] No Good Karma...

Maybe. Though if I was scum I would want to get rid of them quickly.
If this game were anything but normal I'd also say karma would probably play in shifting alignments but that is probably too chaotic for a Mafia game. Maybe there'll be a recruiter or something.*

Killing him N1 would be a bold play, and possibly would lean at some PR hints on the scum side. I'd be surprised if he died that fast.

This is a cosplay game with normal mafia mechanics. Ideal for new and veteran players alike.

settle down, son.

Kinda. But he's also an easy target for any Healer, Tracker, or other defensive town PRs. Not to mention his role isn't all that powerful: would you really give up a shot at a real PR to take out someone as vanilla as batsnacks?

Ok, so why do you think there is a recruiter "or something"?
 
how would you deal with batsnacks if you were scum, isaac?
I wouldn't use the night kill on him on night 1. There's probably a role in place to make sure he gets a fair chance to help town. Then again it's iced tea in front of me: is there sugar or no sugar? I'd think there's a role in place but melonrabbit might want scum to think that so they'll hesitate. But I'm leaning on there being something to help him out.

A recruiter is a normal role isn't it? Also, our theme is inFamous, where you can change your alignment. But I don't wanna go down this rabbit hole, even if there is a promise of melon.

PS: I actually don't like melons

Recruiter is a pretty wild role generally, I hadn't considered the source material though and I guess it explains how you came to that line of thinking.

Fair enough.

Someone else say something stupid pls. I'd call Bronx out for summoning Blarg early but I feel like we've already done that whole song and dance in a past life.
 
In two pages, actually. If we're setting this kind of precedent where day 1 is calm and measured, I can only hope the rest will follow suit.

I mean I wouldn't be surprised if there is some sort of protection/tracking role for town even if we didn't have an innocent child. But I think the chances of him surviving,the night won't be that low, he's essentially an ordinary townie. Mafia would be more likely to want to hopefully hit a PR overnight. His usefulness would potentially come farther down the line when there are fewer people left and trust is far more important.

I'mnever really have been a fan of the obsession with joke posts that permeate some of the games, especially when people use post count as some barometer of something meaningful in terms of gameplay. There are a ton of other people here who'll sate your thirst.

Early joke posts are extremely useful they are literally the 1st thing to look for when anyone flips. and they're entertaining!

@OceanicAir

[is the cop, is "joking"]: "heh, heh, I bet bronx man is town this game! xD"

if that person dies bronx man is probably town. know what I mean?
 
You weren’t supposed to be here. (You’re not like them.)

This was a horrible mistake…

Perhaps, if you could just explain yourself? … Would they listen?

Days pass and the longer you’re left to sit, to rot—the more you realize you are the only one who can free you. It's you or them. (On your own?)

Curdun Cay is no easy place to navigate alone nor would you describe it as friendly but you have a feeling if you put together the right team. A good, trusted team. You could escape. (It's us or them.)

Who can you trust?

There are rumors and you have a single lead.

batsnacks, you are…



Day 1 Begins

DAY WILL END IN

"Beloved"

Does that mean that something bad happens to town if batsnacks is killed?

Ther are a ton of words I could call it, but entertaining isn't one of them especially since they rarely ever stop at early posts. And nobody looks at joke posts to find crucial information, they look at read lists and overall thoughts on the game.

Um, has this ever happened? I don't recall any cop getting breadcrumbs across successfully post-death.
 
So I need to joke to prove my towniness. Hmm.

"What do you get when you cross an owl with a bungee cord?"

I'll let Betty answer.
 
Alright we have started and the confirmed townie wants oceanic.

i don't know what I think about the confirmed town player. He will likely become a scum target but it's nice to have someone we can rally around.

But since we are in Day 1, it's all *pew *pew and jokes here. I'll vote first tomorrow after some more people have checked in on game day.

Also I would note this is like recapping on what everyone else who have read this thread already knows, and smells of brownies. You have now zippedonmylist.

It's not just breadcrumbs. Mafia cop hunts people who are suspiciously correct. Joke phase is -the- time to gain equities, which mafia isn't focused on, which is why mafia (you) wants to skip it.

Don't think we've ever had a N0 cop though. So D1 junk posts, are exactly that. Junk. At the very best it would lead to a serious dose of wifom.

Also, have you ever gone back and successfully derived info from joke posts?
 
like when you recapped what the mod posted

giphy.gif
Point it to me, Betty. And yeah, because the mod is playing. I would love to get on his side.

in: mr, we're friends right
ml: of course, in
in: please smite Betty, in the name of our friendship
ml: will do

A few seconds later...
Betty was struck by the hammer of Friendship. He was batsnacks, snacked on by real bats.

Hmm the one who talks the most is generally considered to be the most suspicious. Or at least that is my interpretation of said behavioral activity.

town posts junk d1 but that's not what you're trying to do.

and I usually don't have the chance, mafia nks me early because I pwn them.
 
Forum mafia yes. I did dabble in the browser game Town of Salem a couple years ago.
Well if you have any questions, just feel free to ask all of us. About the one running off their mouths being suspicious, they almost always end up as townie in my experience. The ones that lurk in the shadows, we call them lurkers because they just skate on by doing the bare minimum, are more dangerous since we have nothing to go on with them. Usually these folks get modkilled.

I will keep my wits about me, with my eyes sharp and my blade sharper...if you catch my drift.
