M82: Magic the Gathering Mafia [Game Thread]

[Kakarroto]

bah, you'll thank me if I find the phrase. That and when the French will be stopped by my onion fence!

[Hamilton Brian]

White Knight: Virgin; death prevents a NK.
Serra Angel: protect 2 players only on night 1. They're immune to NK. Elimination eliminates the Angel. Cool cool.
Wandering Emperor: Day Exiler. Only on an even day. Holy shit, that's a badass role.
Squirrel Wrangler: Hide behind a player, If mafia, you die. If not, you live. Ah, pretty savvy role.
Squirrel General: Odd Night Watcher. Can check out folks on odd nights.
Prodigal Sorcerer: Even Night Watcher.
Aquamoeba: Vote Reversal; only once and must be sent 5 minutes before EoD.


Good town roles.

##askGM: regarding the Vindictive Lich (Phrase Vanillizer), if someone triggers the phrase, will it be announced instantly (as in, as soon as the GM notices it) or will it be announced only at certain time stamps (like EoD/EoN, every hour, ...)? Regarding the phrase, it says "in the exact way [the Lich] submitted them (the words)", how does it work with contractions? Like does "I'm" or "aren't" count as two words or as one? How are small typos handled?

When GM notices
and punctuation will matter if applicable
I will use bot to search for exact phrase submitted and quoting the post that triggers it will not re trigger it for quoter

thanks.

there's one question though that wasn't answered: do contractions (like "I'm" or "aren't") count as one or two words for that matter? Like is "I'm town" three words or only two?

Mafia Roles

Shivan Dragon (Arsonist): Douse at the expense of a NK, then trigger the doused players.
Kird Ape (goon)
Orcish Lumberjack: Day shortener.
Black Knight: Woebringer; day death means no one dies next day. Blech.
Plague Rat: goon
Vindictive Lich: vanillizer, already mentioned by Kak.

Still like town's chances.

If the player put in for example, "I'm not scum"
id count that as three words. but to trigger it would need the '
Contractions would count as one word

##CALL GM

Can the vanillizer be triggered by an action command or in the content of ##CALL GM posts?

Yea I would not allow any of that

[worcej]

I say we vote worcej for being an imposter.

Best justification for a vote so far sadly lol

Hmmm, you don't think we should vote Kak for feeling like Kak trying to be Kak?

Not really right now - I think we need better justifications for votes than that considering the lack of miskills.

[worcej]

dead thread

boring!

Honestly liking it slightly - easier to catch up on.

Only scum and Donny Dude feel the need to specify that they're being honest. ##VOTE worcej

[worcej]

Is this real?

is this just fantasy?

Caught in land
No escape from real

[worcej]

Bleh.

Scum only need two miskills, with only 11 people, this is going to be a light game, and given Rdr last game, there's going to be suspicion for the low-posters.

Something rubs me the wrong way about this post.

Uh oh, that's often a prelude to "feels off"!

Bunny, can you explain the power that Kak has over you that caused you to not post?

I wasn't actually here. Kak has no power over me.

I will say...this is the first time I have EVER read one of his flavor text walls.

care to explain sweet what he missed?

Are you asking me a question?

[BunnyGo]

Obviously Terraforming Mars ranks up there for you. I've been curious about it for awhile. There's so few of us that game that we wind up taking the expensive plunge of purchasing to try.

Supposed to boardgame tomorrow night. Not sure if my kid and his partner is joining us or not. Might be 2, might be 5. If it's only 2, my friend coming over is a big Civil War buff so we might break out A House Divided again.

Otherwise, thinking Pandemic, Powergrid, or Eldritch Horror. Couple of the zombie games are good to...Last Night on Earth.

Ugh, Power Grid is the worst.

WRONG

[BunnyGo]

Ugh, Power Grid is the worst.

What do you dislike about it? We've only played it a couple of times; just the vanilla game.

My experience has been that everyone knows a few turns before the end which two people can win and one of the other people has to decide which one of them does win.

That’s a fair criticism. Especially in games among unbalanced skill players.

[BunnyGo]

This game sucks.

##vote sweet ##end

[BunnyGo]

Anyone want to talk?

Anyone watching the ashes?

Damo? You got some £ on whether Root finally wakes up and bazballs a century?

[BunnyGo]

@hamBone

Do you have any opinions how the angel or virgin should play their roles?

@hamBone

Like: should angel choose their saves aggressively? Try to grab at least one scum in the mix?
