The Republican Circ--er, Debate

Been a while since I've done this, but why not--

The (main) Republican debate is ongoing right now, will end soon...Trump, Carson, Bush, Fiorina, Rubio, Paul, Walker, Christie, Huckabee, Cruz and Kasich--who stood out, who took a dive, and who are the big winners and losers tonight? (Based on performance, NOT on who you agree with.)

Tell me a bed time story.

I want to hear a story about points. I see people with upwards of 3,000

on here and I really don't get how that happens. There must be something of which I am unaware. I'm playing with other players of roughly my own level, which of course means I win some and I lose some. I really can't see so many people being so good that they always win so much. Are they not playing people at their level?

Shouldn't a game be cancelled.

Shouldn't a game be cancelled or drawn if a country NMRs on the 1st turn and never comes back?

Need Some New Gunboats

My GBT games are finishing up, and while I'm thoroughly frustrated with their results, I need to sate my addiction. Requirements are that you not suck. I'm not that great at gunboat though, so that mostly means know what you're doing and how a stalemate line works. Sing up for as many or as few as you please. 5 point bets, anon, WTA, hidden draw.

Live Mafia Interest?

As below, above?

DeathLlama8 (514 )
11 Sep 15 UTC

Thinking about having an eleven-player round of mafia on some sort of IRC channel (esper.net/publicirc). Anyone interested? Time zone would likely be evening in US Eastern Time.

DeathLlama8 (514 )
11 Sep 15 UTC

SETUP
Mafia (3)
-Paparazzi (essentially mafia oracle, reveals upon lynching)
-Hooker
-Mafioso
Town (8)
-5 townies
-Jailer (with one syringe lethal injection)
-Cop
-Oracle

Fifteen-minute days, five-minute nights

Thoughts?

Valis2501 (2850 )
11 Sep 15 UTC

5 minutes is too short if it's webDip forum based.
There's about 6 times too many power roles, especially for 5 minutes a turn.

Yoyoyozo (95 )
11 Sep 15 UTC

It'd be fantastic if we could do it on some interface that update instantly instead of having to refresh the page all the time.

DeathLlama8 (514 )
11 Sep 15 UTC

Setup obviously isn't binding. Five minutes is only per night

Yoyoyozo (95 )
11 Sep 15 UTC

also, yeah, too many power roles for such a small group. I'd say that a cop would be just fine, maybe the jailer, but that's it.

DeathLlama8 (514 )
11 Sep 15 UTC

Cop is good, Jailer a maybe, give mafia factional kill/roleblock that doesn't go away?

Yoyoyozo (95 )
11 Sep 15 UTC

oh lol I missed the IRC bit. That's great. I'm in.

Yoyoyozo (95 )
11 Sep 15 UTC

I don't think the mafia should have a role block. It's already going to be very difficult for the town since there will be very limited time for building cases, and rereading, and general thought-gathering. I think a role block (especially a perma-role block that you are proposing) might be a little too much.

Not saying you ND, just people. Spent 5 or 6 hours playing One Night with friends, they didn't want to have Villagers in the setup :(

ND (879 )
12 Sep 15 UTC

Well yeah there is some merit in a live game to having a bit more PR, but part of the fun is have the power to vote which can be a big power in itself. Just my opinion.

@Flum: I've tried Epicmafia, but ToS is much better.

Fluminator (1500 )

I tried ToS for the first time today.
It's sort of cool, but the games are totally different from mafia I'm used to.

Can you actually solo without someone throwing the game?

I recently got my first solo in a non-live, full-press WTA game since 2010, but only because one player decided to throw me the game. Even at 17 centers, I could still have been stopped if everyone else worked together. This got me wondering: are there examples if high-quality games where somebody got a solo without being thrown one?
