Mini 566: Justice League Mafia Game Over

[Sierra]

Riktus has a post restriction, yes.

If he's town, it's obviously advantageous for him to not explain and out his role.

If he's scum, surely it is better to lie waiting for him to get more posts in so when he does reveal his post restriction, we have more to check it with.

I see your point. I suggest we leave it up to riktus himself to draw the line as to how much he reveals, instead of forcing him to explain everything.

[Mirth]

I'm not going to be able to check any games for the next three days for personal reasons. Apologies.

[actr]

im from the beaumont are and i play a lot of mafia and am in this game to play and find evil not jsut cause im bored

[cicero]

cool? Who is scum?

[Haschel Cedricson]

I was indeed mocking roffman, as evidenced by my vote for him. I don't believe anybody seriously uses "Bu$h" or "Amerikkka" anymore. I love America, despite it's flaws. It appears our Assie friend does not.

As for Riktus, I think most of you are putting too much stock into it, although admittedly, my first thought was Maz Medias posting a poem on Day 1 of Illustrated Mafia.

First, i'd just like to say that i think america is a great country. Secondly, i wasn't anti-bush or america, just anti the american ideal of democracy. This is a personal view, and i hold it against pretty much every "democratic" country in the world, mainly due to an overactive cynicism complex.

Back to the game:

ATM, there is little activity, though there is riktus who supposedly has a post restriction. Besides that, so far little information has been given out, and i think some more input by most players is needed.

OK, we need something to talk about. So here's a big one:

Should we mass claim?

[ZONEACE]

Should we mass claim?

generally no.


not generally, no.

in popcorn fashion? The last time i participated in one, it did not end well. The scum either came up with plausible claims or had safe claims. Town of course tell the truth on their claims, so scum can end up getting more out of this than town. It all depends on if they have safe claims.

If we are going to do it, I would suggest the popcorn method, where we pick the scummiest seeming person we can find to be the first claim, then they choose the next oerson etc etc. The goal being to get the scum claiming first, so that they can't just go at the end and pick an unclaimed justice league member.

[cicero]

Definitely popcorn fashion.

generally no.


not generally, no.

Why not? (I thought of typing why or why not in my initial question but figured it was implicit. That'll teach me.)

wait when did i vote Thesp???

unvote

The problem with the mass claim is that there are a myriad of Justice League heroes. Looking at wikipedia nets over 100 members. Now, I'm not sure which of those are well known, but it still seems unlikely to actually catch a scum lying. I will support a mass claim, however, because I find it difficult for scum to correlate roles with abilities.

[Thesp]

I like this attitude!

I am categorically against a mass role claim here - I'm not sure the potential benefits outweigh the risks. (I know when I mod games with character names, I particularly like to put in roles who are trying to kill a particular character.)

actr, you didn't tell us who your partners were. It wil make it harder to find the scum if you don't confess.

[Haschel Cedricson]

Perhaps we should say claim who we are NOT.

I'll go first. I am not Icemaiden. ZONEACE, your turn.

umm no it's not.

1. this hasn't been agreed by the town

2. even if we were going ahead the last guy chose ZONEACE to go next.

[ZONEACE]

i think i gave m anser, i ended this sad little merrygoround. it was a stupid joke of an idea and i put a stop to it. so lets get back to things relevant and helpful


also, mass claim =/= a good idea.

I could be persuaded to a mass claim, a mass "claim who we're not" is useless though. How hard can it be for scum to pick a name off a big list of Justice Leaguers and say "I'm not them". It gains us nothing.

[ZONEACE]

It gains us nothing.

neither does a massclaim. It just gains the scum all the usual info they need on who they need to kill first.

can't be sure. If the scum have no safe claims, and if the popcorn process manages to pick some scum early, then they have tpo risk picking someone who is going tpo be counter claimed.
