Re: Y.A.W.P's Warcraft Themed Pen 'n Paper RPG style Mafia Game Game Thread
so when does the day end again, lol?

The way it could work is this: I challenge someone, and if that someone accepts, we will try to hit each other until we both get one hit in. That's it. After that both sides can defend, which heals all injuries. Finally, both sides retreat, and that's that.
What do we gain from this? It gives to me, and the other combatant, some idea of our respective strengths. Knowing our own stats, we can make an educated guess at how strong our opponents are. The town at large does not know exactly how strong either one of us is, so they only get a vague idea of our relative strength.
it's because im a lady, right?:girly:
well, i GUESS we could try. i mean, it gives us something, ya know?
Feysal, how do you want to do this?

Well I think the plan accomplishes nothing. There are strong guys on the town and on the anti-town side. Same as average stats. You won't know which power player you'll out. And seeing as it was nearly a week ago that Bad Ash challenged me and we still haven't fought I don't think the plan is doable.
I just now need an agreed upon time so the fights can be settled quickly.
Leo, I wouldnt hold off if you do fight feysal. for all we know feysal has some power anti-town role where if he is in a fight and survives/doesnt kill he is immune to X.
I dont trust feysal and think this needs to be thought through more
Indeed it does. YAWP said in post #177 that no player can be one-shotted, so if anyone dies with this, it must happen by conscious choice.
Now we're getting somewhere, this is the one criticism I can't dismiss that easily. However, I can say that we need more information, and this would be one way of getting it. Our track record with lynches has not been impressive.
Gorny
I can only guess what he was doing most of day one. His quotes in various Horde languages may have been meant to mislead us, or to generate conversation. My bet is the latter. Today he seems to have reverted to normal play, though he remains mysterious. Hopefully his rogueish ways don't stab us in the back.
How about another criticism: It seems hard enough to get one fight to occur, let alone the dozens that will ensue if your idea works. Anyone not in the same faction as you will want to repeat the process. Have each player fight every other player. Use 1000 rounds instead of 7. That way, we could mathematically reconstruct every player's stats. We could just ask YAWP to publish the stats for every player. It will save time and a considerable amount of work for our mod.

im usually here on and off thru-out the day. unless i cannot sleep, im off for good after ten or eleven PM CST.
Every second night, I get a dossier on a random player. The first one I got was on Gorny.

I did not get my next report immediately.

I got the report on the town recruiter.
Do you know you were targeted N2? This is important for me because of my assumptions about Dragomir and other aspects of the game.I would've liked the cult to waste more attempts on me...
I'm not sure about others, but mistaking power roles for cult leader was never my worry. If the results of combat are revealed, in particular, if injuries are known, then the mafia will also obtain information. Maybe not as much information as you, but information still. The information they could obtain could be used to rule out possibilities for the town recruiter, finding the recruiter easier. Since you basically told the mafia some key steps to identifying and killing the townie recruiter, this worry remains a worry until we see a combat example.One last thing. My plan has been criticized because I could out town power roles, mistakenly believing them to be the cult leader.
I missed this part.With only one fight allowed for each player every day
I am somewhat disappointed by the lack of activity, even after I gave so much new stuff to talk about. Oh well.
Just looking to clarify things. You got info about Gorny during the first night, before the first day. You received no info night 2. You received info meant for night 3 sometime in the middle of day 3. Also, does "every second night" mean every other night?
I'm trying to rule out an unknown night phase happening and we are really on day 4.

I'm not sure everyone has posted since the extend 48h phase started. Or maybe you scared the crap out of a bunch of people with your talk of Gorny's "weak" 4/1/1 stats.
I hoped to wait until tomorrow until claiming, but it seems I have to claim today if I am to get anything done. I am Vol'jin, Troll Spymaster, Pro-Town. I'm aware that the real Vol'jin is not a Spymaster, but I am. I have an informational power role. Every second night, I get a dossier on a random player. The first one I got was on Gorny. It included his name, role, alignment and stats. Of course you're going to tell me that this proves nothing with Gorny dead.
I think I like the quick topic thing. That will keep the main thread clear of clutter and all I'll have to do is post the results.
Like: Person A killed Person B. Person B was X.
Feysal, do you think doing this will be too powerful for the town? I'm not sure how the mafia/cult could argue against doing this. Using this tactic I think you would be able to quickly narrow down the possibilities on who cult recruiter could be. After that it would be just trying to figure out who was recruited.
I like how you used the wowpedia for your role name but wowwiki for Orgrim.
