Re: wD Mafia Master Post

I have reconsidered my stance on this. I think that if we're not having Kouncil members check the randomization, there's no point in taking the precaution of having GMs reveal whether they modified the role randomization. However, having established rules, even if they're only a guideline that GMs c...

Re: MAFIA 89: BALDURS GATE SIGNUP THREAD

Oath of Vengence : all actions targeting a specific player on a particular Night redirect to you. Who decides what night? Does the GM randomly pick a night? Does the Oath of Vengeance Paladin choose a night? If so, can they do it on multiple nights? Who decides what player? Does the GM randomly pic...

Re: wD Mafia Master Post

Proposal #12:
GMs must randomize role assignment.
If a GM must reroll random role assignment due to extreme issues, the GM must, after the game is concluded, reveal that they rerolled the setup and why to the players and to the Kouncil.

Re: wD Mafia Master Post

What are the rules about this anyways? It seems like there is a consensus that GMs handpicking players for roles is bad, and randomization is good. "Rerolling" randomized roles is sometimes acceptable. Is there a rule or Kouncil decision that GMs cannot handpick players for roles? I've seen (and rea...

Re: wD Mafia Master Post

Alright here's my opinion on all this: GMs should have to randomize roles. GMs should not (be able to) handpick who gets what role. If GMs randomize and there is an obviously problem, such as that the entire scum-team is new players, the GM should completely reroll the setup. GMs should readily admi...

Play Gunboat against a Press Diplomacy Player!

Note: This is the unofficial sequel to the game "Play Press Diplomacy against a Gunboater" (https://webdiplomacy.net/beta/?gameID=911477). I'm setting up an anonymous gunboat game. I have played almost exclusively press in the past (except bots). The gimmick of this game (and the past one) is that t...

Re: 4^2 + 4 questions: Round 17^2

Clarification: does the QM consider mutants (X-Men) to be human? Canonically I think the answer is yes but figured it was worth asking… Assuming the answer is yes, Is the character either 1) primarily associated with the X-Men franchise, 2) female, or 3) both? To the clarification, yes. To the ques...

Re: Lord of the Rings vs Harry Potter

Harry Potter has no stakes. If He Who Must Be Redacted traps Harry in a magical mini prison (not that this ever happened as far as I know), Dumbledore might or might not detect it from miles away and magically teleport Harry to the middle of a Quidditch match, whichever is plot convenient. He Who Mu...
