A second baby girl
This is probably irrelevant to most of you, but my second daughter just came into the world. Where do I go to share this news? Webdip.
In any event, she's healthy and I am one happy papa.

President Eden (2750 D)

It was a dark and stormy night in webDipistan when…

“You’re a multi!” bellowed Draugnar, pointing his impressive banhammer replica at steephie. “I know it! That backstab was so fucking stupid, you fucktard! Only a fucktard multi would do it!”

“No I’m not!” steephie replied, nervously eyeing the shiny hammer.

Draugnar brought the hammer to bear, trembling with anticipation and excitement. “I’m finally gonna get my hands on a fucktard multi. This is gonna be great!”

A crowd gathered, chanting for blood—or at least the cyber equivalent.

“Yeah, he’s such a multi!” said a random Forumite. “I saw him going through my fruit vendor stand!”

“I saw him and his girlfriend playing while they were having sex! That’s metagaming! Ban him!” said Yellowjacket. Everyone did a double-take in shock and, upon realizing it was Yellowjacket saying it, promptly shrugged and returned to their chanting.

“Not so fast, Draugnar! I have it on solid evidence that steephie is NOT a multi!” goldfinger appeared through one of webDipistan’s many hi-speed tunnels, with damian and Celticfox flanking either side of him.

“But… there’s no way! That stab was fucktarded!”

“I know, but you’ll just have to bear with it. I can assure you it was not a multi attack.”

“If you say so…” Draugnar frowned, disappointed that he wasn’t going to get to hammer someone today after all.

“However, I do have an announcement. Recently the Forum sector was ravaged by a fierce multi attack, from an abomination known as ‘Agent K.’”

The crowd gasped, then fell silent.

“Fortunately we have found the perpetrator! President Eden has confessed to trolling the Forums mercilessly.”

President Eden popped out of one of the tunnels. “Sup guys.”

“It was you?!” “How could he do this??” “Ban him!”

“…however, he admitted to the crime, so we’re not going to ban him…”

A chorus of boos bellowed forth from the crowd.

“…in fact, he’s volunteered to be a mod, and because he’s so honest, we’ve decided to promote him to modship.”

“WTF?” “BUT HE’S A MULTI!” “THAT’S BULLSHIT!”

“Yeah, actually, I was kidding. He wasn’t the multi. We’re taking him out of Quarantine. April Fool’s!”

The crowd grumbled, embarrassed at having been caught in such a silly prank, and then dispersed.

[PRESIDENT EDEN has been removed from quarantine.
There are still FOUR multiaccounters left! And I hear there’s a conspiracy nut on the loose as well… Can you catch them all?]

Alright, I'm going to start off by saying, since we are all diplomacy players, we know what metagaming is, and know what it takes to win, and know that one of the rules is to play to win.

Which means, I think, two things:

1) We should not attack each other based on "forum" character. That is, I am not going to stand up and accuse krellin and say "yeah we should just kill him, he is a horrible person as you all know and can't be trusted." Horrible person he may be, but he might be our doctor. So none of that. Let people's words in this game stand on their own, I say.

2) We shouldn't lynch anyone this round. Whenever I play Mafia, that's always my suggestion on the first day, and I think it's a good suggestion. Why take a shot in the dark? Like I said... I don't really want to kill the doctor on accident.

Also, to the doctor, whoever you, if we are about to lynch your ass, please do not hesitate to tell us you are the fucking doctor, and, if we spare you, to save yourself that night from the mafia goons. He's not me, for the record.

So yeah. I vote we don't lynch anyone.

##VOTE no one

It's Day 1, so while nobody knows anything about anyone and we're all in the dark, we need to create as much discussion as possible. The discussion we create today, tomorrow, and day 3 will all be incredibly beneficial to cross reference in the latter stages of the game for those still alive. We'll want to see any information said by people that may contradict their stories. We'll want to see who they linked themselves to and who they didn't link themselves too.

tl;dr: Write all the things. Talk to everybody. Lets get some discussion going!

I stopped being a mod because I'm an intransigent lazy-ass and act childishly and politically on the forums.

Back in 2008 I one time considered making a multi, but I was like, nah this is the best diplomacy website since usenet, so I stopped myself.

On that note, fuck playdiplomacy. We should all go over to playdiplostan after this is done and burn it down.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
03 Apr 14 UTC
So, I realize this is counterproductive, but I vote we *don't* lynch Thucy, because his press so far has been fantastic and I don't want it to ever end.
Thucydides (864 D(B))
03 Apr 14 UTC
Well, here we go - I one time played a live drunk game with pjmansfield99. It was on a google hangout. He was a gregarious British guy. So like, he will probably be sporting.

Lol, on the real, I seriously think we should not lynch anyone this round - it's pure speculation.

On another note - I frequently get targeted on the first night when I play mafia, probably because I talk a lot and am very straightforward about not being mafia. Sooooo if the doc needs someone to save for the first night... I'd be much obliged.
Thucydides (864 D(B))

TheJok3r (765 D)
03 Apr 14 UTC
Thucy, I have to say I have ALWAYS disagreed with that logic. The town's biggest weapon in killing off the mafia is through their votes. Of the 18 players in this game, 3 of them are roles we really don't want to lose: Doctor, Cop, Vigilante.

If one of those roles is in imminent danger of being lynched, he's gonna make his case and tell us he's important. If he claims one of those roles, it's gonna be really hard to dispute his word. And as long as it isn't the doctor we have screwed up on, that player will have protection.

Also, having somebody voted for and lynched also gives you a wealth of information based on who voted for that person and who was not willing to. All this information will be useful later in the game when it gets near the end.
Thucydides (864 D(B))
03 Apr 14 UTC
so you're saying youre not the cop, then?
Thucydides (864 D(B))
03 Apr 14 UTC
But why wouldn't anyone who is about to be lynched say that are the Cop or whatever? It's all meaningless until there are some actions to go with the words, is my point. No need to take a shot in the dark, as I said.
Thucydides (864 D(B))
03 Apr 14 UTC
Honestly, Joker, it's a 5/18 chance of being right. The words people say will mean nothing till the next day, and then it will be too late for one of us.
Chaqa (3971 D(B))
03 Apr 14 UTC
I think voting no one on the first night is smart. The doctor should protect himself, I think, too.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))

hey wtf why can't I play????
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
03 Apr 14 UTC
Yeah, but if you say you're the cop to avoid being lynched, you're just going to get killed by the mafia. You can hope the doctor will save you, but what does the doctor do when multiple people claim to be the cop?
TheJok3r (765 D)
03 Apr 14 UTC
I would hope that a normal townie facing certain death would know better than to make that claim. He should know he's doing more harm than good with that.

In my opinion, math suggests going for someone is mandatory. There's 4 people we can vote for that will yield a positive hit. That's a 22% chance to eliminate one of the mafia. And we'll need all the opportunities we can get. Compared to a 16.67 percent chance of voting for a power role which will undoubtedly reveal himself to save himself. It just makes sense from my perspective to vote for someone.

This topic always seems to be a huge debate in every mafia game I've played. It would be nice if everybody could weigh in on this subject. The opinions of this topic should definitely lead to other topics of debate. Could give us some leads.
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))

wtf happened to this forum ..... where's the anger ??
TheJok3r (765 D)
03 Apr 14 UTC
@Abge: As previously mentioned, a normal townie claiming to be the cop is just foolish and selfish. And doing more harm than good. A cop claiming to save himself can still be protected by the doctor. It isn't necessarily a death sentence.

And multiple people claiming to be the cop or any power role is going to result in somebody there being mafia. That situation just isn't going to happen. And if it does, we'll thank the mafia for being so dumb.
TheJok3r (765 D)
03 Apr 14 UTC
That's a good point, Thucy. I completely forgot about the Serial Killer. So the odds are even better at banning somebody we need to.

@Chaqa: What makes you suggest the doctor should protect himself first night? I'd think he should protect somebody he deems to be: 1. Most likely to be town. 2. Somebody most likely to be a target. If that person is himself then I guess it fits. But did you have a reason for why you felt that way?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
03 Apr 14 UTC
I'm regrettably inclined to agree with Jok3r. I don't think we have the luxury of not voting for someone. When night comes, 1-3 people will be dead and we won't have learned much, tbh. We should do something now, as unsavory as it may be.
Thucydides (864 D(B))

how will 3 people be dead???!?

and don't we get to know what special power the serial killer picked?

Dear President GM,

Can I get some quick clarification? When morning comes, do we know who was killed by whom (mafia, killer, etc)? Or do we just wake up to a heap of dead bodies?

http://nba.si.com/2014/04/29/donald-sterling-adam-silver-nba-owners-reaction/ To be clear--this is HYPOTHETICAL. There's nothing in the NBA Constitution that gives the commissioner the right to do this, so this is more just a thought experiment--say that power existed, and Adam Silver COULD force Serling to sell the team based on his repeated racist comments over the years, with this last doozy being the kicker. If the power existed, SHOULD the man lose his team over this?

Gunboat game for the reliable but poor
I'm tired of the NMRs and CDs that are far too common i the low-bet games I can afford to play. I'd love to play in the big-pot games with the best players, but I don't have the $ (and, hey, I'm not that good anyway). If there are other middle of the road players who feel the same way, perhaps we can organize a password-protected game (or two if there's enough interest) of reliable gunboaters. More below.

What kind of phase lengths do people use? I assume that there's also a time or turn cap too (eg game ends in 1910)?
