Sparta - the guilt of shooting you has been eating at me all this time, so much so that I haven’t played a game since. Your forgiveness is healing.

I wanted to play a game in here with you since brainbomb brought you here, sadly we never got into the same group in the mafia olympics (and afterwards I was a time off the forum), so I really hope you'll join this one.

To convince you, I'll even add a portion of G(l)itterkartoffeln to the mix

btw 'Gitter' means 'grid' in german, refering to their shape

Would love to play with you sometime, but I definitely have no interest in playing in the same game as Brain again. That was too much in so many ways.

no double bomb

G(l)ittererdäpfeln?

that would be logical, but actually, we call them here Gitterpommes (because, pommes frittes are called pommes in short here, and they are close to pommes)

(also, pommes frittes is our way to say 'french fries' ... we just took it straight from the french)

hominidae + aristocrat would be the perfect fill if they have the time and are up to the task :3

Hmm ...

what if someone that dies gets a hot potato thrown at them? Does the potato bounce back? Does the potato get randomly distributed? Does the potato go to the grave too?

I hadn't thought about this too deeply - thanks for bringing it up. Thematically, I think the potato probably just bounces off of their corpse onto the ground (and is no longer part of the game). If people wanted the potato to bounce back to the original tosser, I wouldn't mind making that call.

The ability to remove potatoes from the game seems a bit scum-sided?

Like if I'm scum holding a potato, I can toss it to the daykill at the last minute?

I think I prefer bounceback...

how about it bounces to the second highest wagon at the day?

That seems inconsistent with the rest of the rules.

but it would be fun, and not penalize you of throwing a potato onto your highest maf-read, AND vote them out

These are both good points. Bunny has convinced me to not have the potatoes disappear; now I just need to decide where they go (bounce back, #2 wagon, something else). Anyone else with opinions are welcome to chime in.

bounceback

[brainbomb]

Oh wow this starts tomorrow

Oh wow this starts tomorrow

UPDATE: I have been advised that starting on a Thursday (so the first EoD is on a Saturday) is a bad idea. Accordingly, I will change the start date to Monday, April 7.

[brainbomb]

Booooo

[brainbomb]

Its quarter end for me at work so im gonna be historically uninvolved, like massively below anything youve ever seen from me. So just be aware of that and dont sub me out if it seems like im not around. Ill do my best

Monday sounds good to me. See you all then <3

If you do need to sub out, I know of another Bomb who could sub in for you...

I think bounceback is just not the perfect solution. It leads to people giving the hot potato to those that are not easily voted out, just to avoid getting it back and accidentally killing themselves.

Also, it doesn't make much sense in a physics way, if you miss your target, it would fly away from you. Therefore, I would prefer to either: have it random ( by the GM), have it a fixed target (like the second highest wagon) or, the thrower gives a second target (like, when you throw it, you can aim it so that both your targets are in a line).

I think bounceback is preferable to having it removed; but, at least in my opinion, not much else.

I demand potato retribution

The last time potatoes were delayed this long it caused a famine
