Dragonfire

With nine players, how long d'you think this game is gonna last? Three, four days is my guess. 'Later stages of the game' is for elaborate 11-day games a la Ragnarok 3. Interesting how you quickly change your mind after you get some heat for your decision.

That would apply only to Day One. Today, we're all vanillas (except for the scum) so nobody's gonna claim vanilla. So no, it doesn't really make sense. But surely an informative role is better than one which just essentially plays WIFOM with the scum?

Good point No, I'm not willing to wager it. I'm just acknowledging that it could be a red herring. Am I missing something here? When has this ever happened to me before!? Ping. As Patty said, if there is a strongman then doctor would be useless. Your rush to refute the notion that there is a strongman makes me think that there is one and it's you (or your partner) and you want us to choose a role that will be effectively useless. Th scum will want to choose the power roles that benefit them the most and doctor benefits the scum if there's a strongman. Roleblockers are useless against a strongman. Read the mafiascum role description. To WIFOM the host, since she's basically told the scum what power roles the town have, wouldn't it be fair to hint to the town what roles the scum have (assuming that strongman is the scum's only role besides the kill). This kind of setup has never been done before, after all.

Why tracker and not watcher? Are we sure that the strongman isn't a red herring, as Theodore suggested? It seems to be a bit redundant for the host to mention a scum role which nullifies two town roles, when the whole point is to choose town roles. IMO (if there is a strongman) the host should have either left out the strongman bit or just not included the doctor and blocker roles in the list of choices. Only my first post was in a different font - when I was quoting the mafiascum page it autocorrected my font and I ended up writing the whole post in the same font as the page. So then I tried to fix it and get it back to normal - but I messed up I normally use standard font though.

Watcher gets to see who targets the player, tracker gets to see who the player targets. So trackers would target a scumread of theirs, and watchers would target a townread. Also, if a scum is tracked targeting a player who dies, they could conceivably just claim cop or whatever other PR we choose. But scum who are caught by the watcher have no such alibi because only they could have killed the player. How would strongman replace the killer? Surely strongman is more of a modifier to the kill to remove the possibility of the kill failing. Scum not having a kill would defeat the whole prospect of strongman. I'm not going to WIFOM with you about the number of scum, but if I had to guess, I would guess two. Our esteemed host has most probably read the last mafia game and has realised that making a third of the players scum gives scum a huge advantage. So it doesn't make sense for there to be more than two. I do wonder if we have a neutral player though.

So you'd advocate choosing tracker and cop? If there really is a strongman, then I agree that would be our best bet. I'm quite offended that you think this. I prefer to call it a little idiosyncrasy of mine (Oh, and I left the army three years ago, no need to refer to me by my former occupation. You can call me Derrick )

Hey everyone! Looks like nobody's gonna die today, so let's just relax and have some fun :cry_happy: Voting on town power roles, never seen that one done before We obviously need a Cop, I'd say that's a no-brainer, but as for the second PR, I'm not sure which would be the most useful in this situation... Mafia Strongman? We have a Mafia Strongman in this game? *runs to mafiascum.net to check the role description* So we have a role which can kill people without the Doctor or Roleblocker being able to intervene. Isn't that a bit unfair?

Avalanche swings the Silver Cup at Bugbear Healers B from the front row.

Derrick Bird here!

"Aye," Avalanche agrees, "By the way, thanks for that silver cup - it's surprisingly effective at clearing the field of foes."

Avalanche curses as his blow completely misses the sheep, growling as he repeats once again. Erik repeats. Battle Order Warlen Alexander Erik William Siercon Avalanche William

1) 2) Of course not! How could you think that 3) No-one in particular. 4) Yes, although I may have limited access between the 22nd-25th October. 5) Definitely

Avalanche repeats. I could give actions for Erik in future rounds if you want?

Apparently there are only five Knights - Aaron, Clay, Macy, Axl and Lance. So what about Robin?

Haha, nice!

Hearing Erik's suggestion, Avalanche changes targets to Battering Ram A, from the front row, with the Silver Cup.

Barghest A, Silver Cup, front row.

"Agreed," Avalanche says as he equips the Ring instead of his Counterstrike Gloves. He also drinks a Potion. Flipz, can you please add the Henry Award to my inventory?

Again, I've found the plant guy to be the easiest to feel due to his huge, bulky pieces. I've felt all of them save the skeleton guy, zombie cheerleader and pirate captain now.

Agreed. That's who Avalanche will be joining if and when he gets some rep...

They had three of her in a box I found today, but I wasn't looking for her! Finally got Fly, Square Foot and Wolf Guy! Five is enough for me

Just a query, if you were to join the Wolfgang faction, could you still get reputation with any other houses in the future? Or does it work like the other two?

OOC: Flipz, could you please add this to my inventory? --> Henry Award - (Can be sold for 200 Gold or to give +1 HP or +1 Power to a character, Consumable, Soul-bound)

You're welcome
