Reaver scum!!!! /s

I'm not sure yet, but this does give me an idea of how we can flush out the Reaver. We could come up with a series of five posts that everyone has to copy-paste, and use them to see who gives pushback to the idea because perhaps we can make posts that would break their posting rules.
<snip>

My first guesses:

1) no posting with a certain letter (like u) so post: the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog

2) Only using one tense in posts: I had the idea, I have an idea, I will have an idea.

3) No direct quotes. (see above)

4) No questions: Don't you think that would be interesting?

5) Must have a typo in every post? Misspelling or something? This can be resolved with short posts of the quick brown fox...

I came to this same conclusion... especially out of character for ND, though he may be "role-playing" a character from the show as he did with Sherlock last game. Never watched Firefly, so I don't know.

You should rectify that.

[BunnyGo]

I wonder if RP is required to be the most friendly and polite person as their posing requirements...

That would be wayyy too broad I guess. I think realistically the requirement would probs be usage of certain words or post counts or something like that.

My quicklist for things it could be:
- No swearing
- Punctuation rules
- Misspellings
- # of words
- No contractions

etc.

These are OK, but I don't think the fucking swearing is the problem MOFO. "Punctuation rules" is too general, you need an actual hypothesis.

Contractions is a really good one. I bet that'd be an awesome thing to test.

[BunnyGo]

I like this line of thoughts.

If I was RP, I would recruit damo.

Finally! I've been reading to catch up and this...THIS is the first post that wasn't either vacuous or something I could have predicted would be posted prior to game start. Jeses...that was a lot of nothing.

OK, I'm still out of town visiting family and plans are in flux depending on kids. I'm leaving either after festivities tomorrow (if kids don't melt down) or before (if they do). So may not be around much until late on the 1st.

I would recruit either: a) my top scum read or b) kalel

Bunny's back. Can I ask why call me out by name? And this implies that I'm not your top scum read?

I don't scum lean anyone but worcej yet (hey @worcej, what happened to never massclaim no matter what because the point of this is the game not the mechanics...do you have new dad brain?)

It's too early for any serious reads.

As for why you? I mean...it was something to post, but you also have a way of surviving.

[BunnyGo]

Ok, first impressions:

Most of these 13 pages is worthless. A bunch of "Shia Suo"

The massclaim idea is a bunch of "Joo Fuen Chse". Those gorram reavers and that "Go Neong Yung Duh" bounty hunter will take full advantage and we will not.

Worcej is out of character. I don't get it, and I don't like it.

I dunno about the rest. There's really not much to go on yet. ##Call GM "Ba Wong" If the reaver doesn't convert someone on N1 (say they are killed by scum, or saved by other means) do they get to keep converting until there are 3 reavers?

"Bao Jone", I'll try to check in before EOD.

##VOTE EMC until he casts a f*cking vote.

can you actually vote on content for once

[FlaviusAetius]

##CALL GM: What happens if Mafia1 and the Reaver target the same player N1? Does the player become a Reaver? Do they die?

they die obviously?

[FlaviusAetius]

##CALL GM: What happens if Mafia1 and the Reaver target the same player N1? Does the player become a Reaver? Do they die?

Seems a little early to be worried about those details... unless you've got personal stake in either of those teams. -1

Pushed back on RDR. +1

cut it out with the spreadsheet, honestly tired of you pulling that nonsense

[FlaviusAetius]

Hey, we made it to page 2.

Is joke phase a real thing? Or is that just an excuse players use to say stupid stuff?

big facts

[FlaviusAetius]

There's been no personal insults yet and everyone seems mildly happy from being infected with curable holiday stds, so let us all endeavour to keep the positive tones ongoing :D

or lets talk about the game! :D

Correct.

The Reaver nk power will act as conversion/recruit until two non-Reavers have been converted, regardless of how many are still alive.

[FlaviusAetius]

Your pushing back on RDR's confirmation of Jamie's vote for e.m.c. without RDR actually voting for e.m.c. was a good thing.

Yeah, but why "back"? Doesn't that require that he be pushing *me* first?

Interesting semantics, I will change my terminology. Thank you for improving my process.

It doesnt have to be thoough, rdr was talking about something, and saying he was pushing something, xorxes called him out on it, and pushed back

[FlaviusAetius]

Reading the set-up, I got the impression that the power of the Twins is anti-town if used.

If Mafia 1 attempts to kill X and Y dies instead, they can conclude that X is a Twin (a less valuable "vanilla" type of town role). This allows them to look for more powerful town roles in other players, since they know that X is merely a Twin. So twins please don't use the impersonating power. I cannot see any good reason to ever use that power since it does not seem to give any good value to town.

well things can be given, one twin might have it while the other doesnt, so the other twin can protect them, or maybe theres a good twin at the game and a bad twin at the game, and so then the bad twin can protect the good twin

I think Bunny and Chaqa are onto something here. When should we post those sentences?

[dargorygel]

I'm opposed to the massclaim. Counting the true VT s, the people who think they are VT s (backups) and scum, we would have 9 claims for VT. Add to that Mal and the bodyguard who likely would hide and we don't have a lynch pool that guarantees good lynches. We would lose to NK our PR s, and the BH would have excellent recruiting choices.

I also think that those who are guessing complex BH tells are wrong. It will be something easy for kit and Ike to find and spot.

[FlaviusAetius]

Oh look Xorxes wanting a massclaim, that's new.

no way will I agree to a massclaim, not now and not ever
as for this set up, bounty hunter, hello?

This breaks the game, and I'm against it, dont do it

[FlaviusAetius]

Don't think we've played with peter or teac in a while, haven't personally played with gold before iirc, and perstition is noob, so looking forwards to seeing them play.

The great expectations are lumped upon Teac this game, his time should be open for the good ol' textwalls that I miss, due to holiday breaks :D

TEACON? HE'S BACK?
oh god oh lord, time to take him down

[FlaviusAetius]

Who would you recruit if you were?

You know me well enough that I'm near guaranteed to want to go for Vecna at some point lol

but not going to give rPrime any ideas, for all we know they're new or out-of-date, and clueless towards good recruits ;p

Speaking of new and clueless.... welcome to the game Superstition.

I waited until my 4th game to read this; https://webdiplomacy.net/contrib/phpBB3 ... ?f=4&t=272

Don't make the same mistake.

Dont read it, it will corrupt your mind, and then you can never go back, this game takes looking at things objectively, instead of trying to find all the neat little trickery tricks, news flash; they dont work
