Sorry for not posting, my email decided to start throwing the alerts into the spam folder... Skimmed over everything pretty good. Gotta love the spammers.

As for doing this being too powerful for town, I have to agree. I realize that YAWP probably never meant for this mechanic to be used like this, and other players, town and cult alike, might see it as a cheap strategy. If I only use it once a day, like a limited day cop ability, I don't think it would be game breaking. I can't force anyone to start a fight with me, and I don't expect us to be able to arrange that many fights so quickly anyway.

The point is for us to win, why not use your abilities as best we can? I don't think YAWP would give us such a huge advantage with the mafia/cult having some sort of balance. TC said he made sure the game was fair, remember?

I'll have to go reread your idea, but since the fights will take place in a quicktopic, the information will be available to everyone in the fight, right?

Feysal ... are your investigations random or do you choose? Your role seems awfully powerful for such a small game. The fact that youdid not explain your role in your own words troubles me
I am undervthe assumption that quoting role pm's was off limits.

Vote: Feysal

As far as my role....I am a peon with low stats bwuth an increase in my chance to flee.

I'm betting on the role assignments to not have been very random. I do believe minor roles were offered up as bribes to increase participation.

Does your role character reflect your statistics? For instance Doomhammer wouldn't have 4/1/1 if you look at his character. Mine does correspond to my character. At least now it does.

Or is your role an actual orc peon? Not just the meaning of the word peon.

This was from my list of reads. The last sentence is the key, it was a hint I meant for Gorny that I knew who he was. I knew he was a rogue, hence "rogueish". As for his name, Orgrim Doomhammer is also known as the Backstabber, hence "stab us in the back". Gorny being the Warcraft enthusiast he is, I hoped he would catch my hint. I am not sure he did, but I believe so, since he did his happy dance soon after my post. By the way, don't bother looking for other clues in that list. There are none, I only had the one report on Gorny at the time.

If you want to describe Doomhammer I wouldn't start with backstabber and rogue. He is in fact a powerfull warrior who leaded the true horde and liberated them. He was described a backstabber by deceitful unloyal followers of Gul'dan, who was a traitor himself. For the horde he was a hero, not a backstabber.

Your story doesn't sound all that convincing.

My role PM says I get a dossier on a random player. I do not choose, in fact I have no night action at all, but I believe there is someone else who chooses.

My role is powerful, I grant you that, but the cult may have their own powers to match the town. Like I said, the town recruiter is stronger yet. And where did I ever quote from my role PM? Everything I wrote was in my own words.

I was expecting something like that earlier from your comments. Thing is, I believe you're not the only one, so comparing your role attributes to some other players would probably help in finding any liars.

Minor roles were offered for joining up, but I'm not sure if anyone actually got such a role as a prize. And if they were... what of it?

I am not very knowledgeable in Warcraft lore. I had to use the wiki page I linked to for information about Orgrim, and it begins with the words "Orgrim Doomhammer, also known as the Backstabber..." It was the kind of trivia I hoped Gorny would recognize. As for the rogue part, that was from the dossier I got on Gorny. When Gorny was lynched, he was in fact revealed as a rogue.

My stats are 2/2/2. I can become a cultist or an adventurer should I be recruited.

Re: Y.A.W.P's Warcraft Themed Pen 'n Paper RPG style Mafia Game Game Thread

I would recommend that we don't claim any more stats, not yet anyway. All that does at this time is tell the cult who they can recruit, as well as who is probably not the town recruiter. Or, if we do keep claiming stats, then I urge the town recruiter to false claim low stats, so as to blend in.

The time I posted for being online for the fight has come, and I am here. Leo posted her consent earlier, so this is what I would like us to do:

1st round: both attack the other
2nd round: both defend, healing themselves
3rd round: both attack the other
4th round: both defend, healing themselves
5th round: both attack the other
6th round: both defend, healing themselves
7th round: both retreat, ending the fight

By healing between each attack, it should be impossible for either of us to die. Without further ado, Fight: Leopold Stotch

YAWP, are you available? If not, can you resolve the fight when you are? I cannot be continuously online for the remainder of the day, though I probably will be for the last hour.
 
Re: Y.A.W.P's Warcraft Themed Pen 'n Paper RPG style Mafia Game Game Thread

10 minutes to go, and apparently the only vote in the past 48 hours was on me. There has been no fight, barely any discussion. What does one have to do to get some life into this game? At this rate, no one is going to win, because this will end in a draw due to inactivity like the last game.

To explain what I said about the town recruiter false claiming... I do not want the cult to know who he is, and if he made a genuine claim, or if he was the last one who did not claim, then the cult would know who he was. Thus, he should false claim to hide himself. I can defend him if he comes under attack, as can his recruits, and in the unlikely event that the cult figures out how to kill me, he can still prove his claim in a fight by being more badass than anyone else.
 
Re: Y.A.W.P's Warcraft Themed Pen 'n Paper RPG style Mafia Game Game Thread

The day starts in three hours? I wasn't aware we were in night phase. This is the most confusing game ever.
 
Re: Y.A.W.P's Warcraft Themed Pen 'n Paper RPG style Mafia Game Game Thread

so did we have a night phase or not? are we still in it? what is going on? I thought the sath fight didnt even exist cause that day didnt really happen cause you were MIA.
 
Re: Y.A.W.P's Warcraft Themed Pen 'n Paper RPG style Mafia Game Game Thread

Apparently we are currently in night phase which started little over 23 hours ago, right on time, only it was not announced in thread. The fourth day should begin in an hour or so. Correct?
 
Re: Y.A.W.P's Warcraft Themed Pen 'n Paper RPG style Mafia Game Game Thread

As confusing as this is, that was apparently the fourth night, and it is now the fourth day. Noodle dead, no information about him revealed, but at least his death shows that the cult did not miss the night, and it also disproves one of my theories about why there was no death after the second night.

We've now had one practice fight, and with the results publicly known, it is easy to see what mine and Leo's DPS and Tank stats were. I might as well reveal the exact numbers: I had 6 DPS, 10 HPS, 8 Tank. Leo, if I can guess, had 2 DPS, 2 HPS, 2 Tank. I speak in past tense, since I had my DPS stat increase to 7 as a result of the fight. Not a very significant increase, but if stats can be developed even with practice fights like we had, this may open up some interesting possibilities.

For the time however, the plan of seeking out the cult recruiter like this has to be abandoned. I hoped that the exact results of the rounds would be between me and Leo, but since they are public, this is more likely to result in power roles being outed than catching scum. I'll have to think if there is some other way of using fights to town advantage.

Now, I'd like to see more posts from, well, everyone. For the last 48 hours of last day phase, the town was much too quiet. If I had to name one specific person, I'd have to say that nurman's "rofl @ spam" was the single most useless post this game has had.
