Many thanks to Chaqa for getting the bot up and running. Give the man some up-votes.

I'm glad the GM has given me a mechanically-clear way to commit suicide as needed.

Hi bffs

Debating setting reminders to do the guess action because (a) would be helpful but (b) it'd be even more embarrassing to forget to guess w reminders on than w them off

Incentive to not forget.

Also ##CALL GM if one of us forgets to pm a name and is modkilled, will they be added to the list of people who didn’t put the targets name down or will they be excluded

I’m not sure I understand your question.

Also the bot doesn’t seem to be working. @Chaqa and @Dargo: help please?

I forgot to hit the "Start" button

[Chaqa]

If I understand the investigator mechanism correctly, I think the best way to use it is to have all of the VTs select the same player (player A), and the investigator select a different player (player B), so that a mafia report on player B means that player A and player B are both town or both mafia, and a town report on player B means that one of player A and B are mafia and the other is town.

OK I definitely need to re-read something.

##VOTE Chaqa

How did Monarch finagle a name change?

Royalty hath privilege

[Chaqa]

OK I got a thorough explanation of how this works from Bunny.

I'll assume whatever Bozo is saying is the truth mechanics-wise, but also that probably means he's scum.

Just got done eating a cup of vanilla pudding. Now time to enjoy a new game of plain ol' Mafia.

##VOTE Sweet for this post.

What? This game is supposed to have plain flavour, right? (;

##VOTE sweet for cosplaying as a Brit again.

As usual I like Bozo's thinking here.

Yeah this was my conclusion as well. There are some other things we can think about around putting people in groups and making them select different targets once we have some alignment info, but this is optimal right now.

I propose we just pick the second highest vote getter.

Happy to answer any questions about it. But this system just gives us a normal detective.

I think the parity cop is more valuable.

These are both bad assumptions.

Let’s say 4 people pick worcej, 1 doesn’t pick anyone, and 10 pick me. The person is modkilled for not choosing a name. Is the count 10/14 or 10/15?

1) Only the living vanilla town get a vote...so it's at most 10 players submitting these PMs at night. (the investigator sends a different PM which DIRECTS the investigation at someone)

2) The player not picking anyone is no longer living. So they don't count.

Does that answer your question?

Thanks

what is a parity cop?

A party cop with an I or detail

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

I see your point, but there are two problems: how VTs agree on a player (a night vote might do, but it's a short time and people could miss sending the name) and we will only get info after investigator flips or disclose the info).

Like this idea bozo
Although yes, you have a point about how we decide, we could just go in alphabetical order, or we could have one specific player pick.

We would not have to wait until night to decide, we could have a vote during D1, and go with the player with the second highest vote count if the player with the most votes get DKed.

I think we should save this for later. Not D1 as people have limited info to go off.
