Re: Roles of Madness. Mafia Thread
Another WoT incoming. Sorry can't help myself.
I promised to play a bit of xbox with a friend this evening, but I fully intend to go back, read the thread from the start, and make myself a nice little list of people who gave me a scum vibe and why. For now answering questions will have to do, as I need to get myself some dinner.
Wow you sure are smart for a townie!!
Have to give props for that out of context quote. You almost had me believing I made such a major slip up!
Thank you Jcakes for picking up on that in my absence. Keeping track of things on a mobile device is not easy, despite my efforts.
Nope. I tend to go outside.
As do I, but I also like lore. Can't help myself, and since I read the Warcraft novels with great interest, reading the names Krasus/Korialstrasz basically has the same meaning.
Bad Ash is throwing some weird vibes around for me, I don't know what he's smoking. Korialstrasz, for being new to the game you seem to have your head on straight.
I was a bit skeptical to actually saying BA was giving me some strange vibes. I thought it was only me, as I couldn't make heads or tails about his question and his reaction to my reply.
Also thanks for the kind compliments, but I've played a few games before, and lurked a couple others. So I'd like to think I got my basics covered.
.My question to you Flubb is why did you choose to remove the context from what was a small quote anyway?
I would like to hear the answer to this myself.
This leaves me a question for Kori:
Given REs post above (which was before your post) what made you think that there is a pool of dreams that is reusable?
Ok I hope I can explain this well enough, since trying to quote it all together in a coherent way will turn into a mess. Also note I use 40 posts per page. RE posted his answer to the question about Dream mechanic on page 2, post #57. I assume the post I made that you're referencing is my post #117 on page 3.
I took ideas (if you can call it that) from Skjolde's post #81 on page 3 Gwaihir's follow up post for Skjolde #92 and Skjolde's answer to that post #94 and took it a step further so to speak. Quoting RE's explenation below for clarity.
Dreams effect only the next day step or the next night from when they are 'cast' depending what it is. Each night a new dream is cast, which in turn effects only the next relevent step and so on. There will never be 2 dreams in effect at once.
The story can hint at the dreams effect but may not necessarly do so. Most story will just be flavor.
Here RE is saying that Dreams will only effect the next day or night step from when they're used, "depending what it is", or as I read it depending on the effect. That's basically what it means right?
He's also saying that each night a new dream is cast, which will only effect the next relevent (I read it as next day/night step based on "what it is". In short a dreams duration will not overlap with a previously cast dream.
However he never specifically said that once a dream is used, it cannot be used again. Which is how I reached the idea of reusable dreams. Far fetched, but I've seen crazier games. Does that explain my thoughts on dreams well enough, and how I reached the ideas of reusable dreams?
I'll gladly clarify if you need me to.
Insert Sk's quote under the "got my red flag ready". You were at least suspicious of him to say the least. Unless you were refering to Solar Ice's quote section there, the dot dot thing made it seem like you were refering to the quote below, not the quote above. I'm sorry if I've misinterpreted your post in that case.
Actually I was never suspicious of Skjolde. I attributed his way of playing to being new to the game. At least for the time being. I can still remember setting of several scumdars during my early days of mafia play, just because I wasn't aware of how the game flow worked. So for his first few posts, I'm willing to cut him some slack.
With that said, my comment on having the red flag ready was coined at Solar Ice, and the dots at the end was my way of pressuring Solar for answers, because he basically singled out Skjolde out of the people that were discussing the current dream from the story. I was wondering why he targeted Skjolde specifically.
I still find it interesting that as far as I've noticed, he has yet to reply.
Sorry, don't want to make it look like I'm picking and choosing sections of quote so I've included the full section here for reference, you'll have to go back to read the quoted quotes though obviously.
I did just that. Seems you just thought the dots were aimed at my quote of Skjolde below. Imo it seemed very clear that I meant to pressure Solar Ice for answers as to why he singled out Skj.
Unvote: Pyrotechnician
I'll make sure to make my subtle pokes be slightly less subtle in the future.
Now that my vote is free I'm almost tempted to place it on someone else, but that will have to wait until I can do a proper re-read of the thread.
